Carrots For stock Feeding.

One OF the crops you should plant
this spring Is patch of carrots.
There is nothing better as a relish
and appetizer for horses and cattle
in winter when green food is scarce.
The man without silo especially
needs them.
Take piece OF deep, rich, friable
soil, have 1t broken ten to twelve
inches deep and worked into the
finest sort of filth. Mark off the rows
twenty-four inches apart and SOW the
seed thickly, in. shallow drills, COW
ering not more than one-half inch.
The soil should be we'll filled with de-
caying vegetable matter, but 1t is not
good policy to use fresh stable manure
unless 1t can be made very fine and
put out very early. The crop may
be fertilized about the same as Irish
potatoes.
An ounce of seed will plant 200 or
800 feet of drills and three or four
ounces will be enough for the average
farmer to begin with. The young
plants are very delicate, and the first
working and thinning out are tedious
jobs; but after that cultivation is
easy. Keep the ground loose and
mellow and all weeds down, cultivat-
ing shallow after the plants are two
inches high. When they are one or
two inches high, thin out to five or
six inches apart in the row. The
plants pulled up may be easily trans
planted, but whether or not this will
pay depends on individual conditions.
Cultivation should be kept up until
very late, and the crop need not be
gathered until there is actual danger
of freezing weather Carrots will
keep anywhere Irish potatoes will;
and two or three a day viii do much
toward keeping horse or COW in
good condition through the winter
months.

Freedom of the Soul.

The other day man stood in a
Chicago station with ticket to Jol-
let in his hand. He smiled joyously
and declared it was the happiest day
OF his life-not because he was leav-
ing Chicago, but because he was go-
ing back to prison. He had escaped
some months before, but in one of
those little sociological GASES in the
big clty's desert life, known as
Salvation Army meeting, he had been
converted" and he was going back
to serve out the rest of his term.
What is the marvellous spiritual al
chemy of this thing called "conver-
sion" which transmutes our baser
motives into pure gold? This con-
verified prisoner did not enjoy the
mere prospect of going back to 9 cell.
He did not relish captivity for its
own sake. But in some marvellous
way those years of confinement, of
coarse prison fare and degrading
prison toll, the stripes and cropped
hair-in some way these things paid
a debt to conscience and the receipt
which conscience gave was a pass
port to all the kingdoms of spiritual
peace. Prison walls might mark the
bounds Of physical liberty; a cell
might confine the body and chain the
limbs. But there is mightier free
dom Of the soul, and this man had
found it.-Kansas City Journal.

HOW to BaIance the Ration.

How to Balance the Ration.
Pasture or green feed is of great
value in the feeding Of animals. but
hard-working horse or mule is
probably better without 1t. This is
certainly the case with any horse Of
which fast work is required. Some
green feed may be allowed horses and
mules doing slow work, but 1t should
never constitute more than one-third
of the rough feed. Animals getting
more. IL required to do fast or real
hard work, are apt to suffer from a
too loose condition of the bowels and
collie is not an infrequent result. This
is a fruitful cause Of trouble with
framework stock.
Unquestionably section so well
adapted to the growing Of so large a
number OF legumes, which make ex-
cellent hays and pay the cost of
growing by the addition which they
make to the fertility Of the land,
should feed legume hays to its work
stock, but these hays are not salts
factory for horses doing fast work
for the same reason that green feed is
not satisfactory. The corn ration
may be partially balanced with such
hays, but 1t is quite probable that
better results will be obtained If one
half the long forage is made up of
corn stover or grass hay. If more
protein Is desired than can be OBJ
tanned from half ration of legume
hay 1t had better be supplied by cot
tonseed meal.
Probably the cheapest and best ra-
ton for the work stock of our terri
tory is made up about as follows:
Seven pounds grass hay or corn
slower. eight pounds legume hay, ten
pounds corn and two pounds cotton
seed meal.
More than half the diseases Of farm
work stock are the result of inju-
diclous feeding. and probably fifty
per cent. OF the other half are due to
bad care and management. Indiges-
tion and collie cause large per cent.
of the deaths among farm work stock,
and they are largely the result Of
careless feeding and bad manage
ment.
II a change OF work becomes neces-
sary, and 1t frequently does on every
farm, care should be taken to prop
erly adjust the feed to the conditions.
1t is not uncommon for the horse
owner to increase the feed when a
day of extra hard work Is demanded
of his animal The opposite course
should be taken. II more is suddenly
required of the muscles, or IL a
change is made to work to which the
horse is not accustomed, the feed
should be decidedly decreased and then
gradually increased as the horse be-
comes accustomed to the new work.
Never give horse full feed on a
change to work, nor change Of feed
when at hard work.-ProRessor
Massey.

One Way He Could HeIp.

An eastern college graduate
applied for work in Mich
tgan lumber camp He was
told to get busy on one end Of
cross-saw, the other end being in
charge of an old and experienced lum-
herman. AT first all went well, but
at the end of the second day the
young mans strength began to wane.
Suddenly the old man stopped the
saw and spat.
Sonny" he said, not unkindly, II
don't mind yer ridin' on this saw, but
If it's jest the same to you I wish
you'd keep yer feet off the ground"

Some writer's tell us that the aver
age farmer annually loses one-twen-
tieth of his entire crops from the
lack of proper buildings in which to
store them and hold them for profita-
BILE prices.
While the writer cannot vouch for
the above statement, he does know
that an improvement in the usual
storehouse for grain, etc, on the av-
erage farm is not only desirable, but
very necessary If the farmer would

The British statistics of mortality,
just published, show what we all
knew before, that more clergymen
live to old age than the members of
any other profession. What is the
reason? In part, that they are lit
tie older in entering their profession
than in almost any other business,
which cuts out, in the statistics; those
that die before twenty-five. Next,
they live regular life, with no ex-
cesses; and they take a moderate
amount of exercise, while mostly pro-
tected against exposure. Then some-
thing may be credited to the philos-
ophy of religion, which tends to an
equable frame Of mind. Independ-

ADVICE TO EMloRANTs.
Countries to Avoid and Lands Where
OPPORTUNITIES Are offered.


Opportunities Are offered.
The Emigrants' information Office
in Dublin has issued statement tell
ing intending emigrants some places
to avoid. During the last year, the
statement says, work has been un-
usually hard to obtain in Canada and
wages in many cases have been
DOVER than in 1907.
New South Wales, Victoria, Queens
land and Western Australia are cited
as reporting good opportunities for
farm laborers and female servants
but poor chances for mechanics or
miners. In Queensland and Western
Australia farms Of 100 acres 81 land
are offered free to approved settlers.
New Zealand holds out offers for
Farmers, farm laborers and female
servants and to this country reduced
rates of passage are offered.
The statement warns men against
Cape Colony and the Transvaal, say
ing that the demand FOR work in those
colonies already is greater than the
supply There is an occasional chance
for female servants. The statement
concludes with this about the United
States:
Immigrants from the United King
dom should not go TO the United States
.in the hope of finding work for some
time to come, and not then unless
there has been marked and sus-
tanned recovery from the depression. >"
