A Christmas Gift which will
Last A Lifetime.

Parents, while thinking of suitable
Christmas gift for your children, have
you ever considered the value of one
that will last lifetime and increase in
value as the years go by? Can you
think of present that will give more
joy, and happiness, and contentment,
and satisfaction, than one which will
assure your boy or girl good living,
self-support, independence-success?
The opportunity of presenting your
boy or girl with such Christmas gift
is offered you by the Dunsmore Bust
ness College. No more useful or valu-
able present could be given boy or
girl than business training course at
the "Dunsmore." 1t will never be for
gotten, it will never wear out and it
cannot be lost or stolen. Its usefulness
and value will increase with use, and
it will make each succeeding Christ
mas brighter than the last by reason of
the increased blessings it will bring.
Such gift only commences on Christ
mas. 1t continues year after year
bringing success to the receiver.

A good many farmers are still strug-
Cling with the cocklebur nuisance.
II is possible to rid the ranch of this
pest In one year and realize a profit
on the operation. Amy time before
the weeds have attained much height
take pillow and harrow to the field
and before the day is done SOW one
and one-half bushels OF good kaff1r
corn 70 each acre plowed. Harrow
well and the next day repeat the oper-
alton until the cockIebur territory has
been thoroughly covered. When the
kaffir seed is in the dough NOW or
bind with a harvester and you win
have one of the very best crops or
roughage to be had. Remove this crop
from the field as soon as convenient.
Two years or so Of this kind OF tillage
will clean out the burs and the opera
tion is certainly worth whiIe.-Denver

Testing srirk.

In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan Of combining and hiring men to
visit each herd one day In the month
and test the milk OF each COW, thus
giving the owners an idea of which
cows are the ones that are paying for
their keep. This plan is a very sem
sible one and should be encouraged.
The cost is comparatively small, as
the tester boards with the family

ried to the next place the day he has
completed his work. This insures reg
ularfty in the work In Michigan this
plan has greatly increased the average
production per COW. Wisconsin, too,
has taken up this matter. 1t is good
business and 1t may become popular,
but some Of our dairyfnen are hard
to turn from the beaten paths of their
fathers.-Farmers and Drovers' Jour

Fertilizers may be divided into two
general classes-direct and indirect,
or nutritive and stimulant A direct
or nutritive fertilizer is one which
furnishes nourishment to the growing
crop. Nourishment means simply nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
These are the three ingredients which
must be renewed through the medium
of manures and fertilizers. A stimu-
liant or indirect fertilizer is one which
does not furnish an actual plant food
TO the soil, but by its stimulating ac-
tion renders available some plant food
which previously existed in the soil
In an insoluble or unavailable condi-
ton.
