And kept on swearing more and more.
The trouble was that folks, instead

Were buying goods by mail, he said.
One day he got little hint
On how to make his store mint;
Then hope took on a rosy tint.
He came and ADVERTISED his stock;

So now this Merchant swears no more;
No longer ie he feeling sore,
Since ADVERTISING crowds his

Farming a. a Business.

Science has shown that where there
is farm that does not pay. the faulr
lies not in the land, but in the man
who is in charge. Good or bad farm
ing results from definite reasons. Sue
cess results from painstaking, season
able operations; The application OF
practical knowledge which has been
gained by studying the requirements
which are known will bring success.
Lack of ambition results in indif-
ferent work on the farm. Taking full
advantage of the resources OF any
farm. and following intelligent, up-to-
date methods of farming will in due
time mean steady and often very rapid
improvement in yield of crops. In a
sense, the resources of a farm vary
with locality; but in the main there
are many identical conditions on very
many farms. The farmer who works
to establish a well-set meadow. aims
to get the billy, washable, waste lands
set in grass; utilities the rocky rough
lands by setting out fruit trees:
bitches the low lands and reclaims the
swamps; improves the stony fields by
picking off the surface stones so that
crops will take the places the stones
occupied, uses some Of the ways of
taking advantage of the resources of a
farm.
The farmer who owns big farm in
very many instances does not .ecure
crops that average as well as the farm
er whose farm rarely exceeds sixty
or seventy acres The reason is the
large farmer cannot, with the force
he usually keeps, properly look after
everything. seeing that seasonable
work is done and that each farming
operation is well attended to. Each of
these is great success factor in farm
ing. Hasty work means. invariably,
some neglect or work indifferently
done

Corn Breeding.

The Illinois experiment station has
just published the results OF its eff
forts to breed corn for high and low
protein content and for high and low
oil content. Ten generations of corn
have been bred for these different pur-
poses by selection of seed having the
desired qualities. In the effort to in
crease the protein content the average
has been changed from 1892 per cent
to 1926 per cent in the effort to de-
crease it from 1922 per cent to SEA
per cent. Individual ears have been
found which contain as high as 1873
per cent of protein and as low as 6.13
per cent, as high as $50 per cent of
oil and as low as LEO per cent. But
the high protein corn has been IN
every case less productive than any
of the other three and in some cases
decidedly so. 1t has also been less
productive as a rule than corn grown
for no particular purpose-iust corn.
The conclusion IS reached from some
plots that. while this continued selec-
ton for single purpose to the neglect
of all other considerations has resulted
in lower yields, yet this is not a neces,
sary result In some cases high pro
tein corn has yielded we'll as compared
with standard varieties bred for no
particular purpose.

Poultry Notes.

Fowls love to thrash out bundle OF
wheat or oats, and 1t does one good
to step around to the door of the
poultry house and listen to the merry
chatter while the fowls are digging in
the straw.
Some farmers neglect the % to SO
cents that the battening of cracks in
the coop would cost, and each month
feed a dollars worth of extra corn III
order to supply the animal heat
needed.
The answer to the question, Does
winter poultry pay? depends in large
measure upon where your hens are
roosting. If on the bare branches OF
tree, on the northeast corner of the
barn, there can be no doubt about IT,
Scatter a little grain among litter
at noon, and give a full feed at night.
What is meant by full feed of grain
is about a good handful for each fowi
in the pen. A mixture of corn, wheat
oats and barley, equal parts by meas
urement, makes an excellent mixture
for winter.
Raise your chickens outdoors az all
seasons of the year. give them every
opportunity to get fresh air and sun
shine. Keep them in small flocks
until they roost regularly. Keep the
roofs of all breeders and coops water
tight; dampness is fatal to chickens
old or young. If coops leak. cover
with tar roofing or canvas painted
with several coats of white lead

Wherever cattle or hogs are fed

corn, or feeding corn out of balance

wasteful method of feeding. To fully

Silos have become one of the fixed
appointments of successful dairy and
stock farms where economy in feed is
necessary to achieve proitable results.
The expense of a silo often prevents
its use by farmers who feel that they
cannot spare the money for such an
equipment. The intelligent feeder
who has carefully Investigated the adj
vantages of silo is the man loudest
in its praise. 1t has become recoS-
nized that high class results in feed
ing live stock cannot be consummated
without feeding silage.
Deleterious results seldom follow
feeding ensilage. If such results do
follow it comes from either overfeed-
ing or from spoiled silage. Silage is
recognized as Of great economic value
in feeding dairy COWS. Where dairy
farming is made a speciality bat few
diaries are operated without the use
of silage. 1t is equally valuable as
ration for young cattle and has deciG-
ed merits when fed to steers being
fattened for market. Sheep and swine
thrive on silage. AS a part of the ra-
ton of roughage it could be generally
utilized FOR all classes of live stock.
The dairy COW could be fed forty
pounds of silage daily, while thirty
pounds would be a ration for beef
animal.
A silo enables the farmer TO econ
omize in space in the storage of feed.
1t requires double the space to store
the same feed nutriments in dry
roughage as in silage. The silo can
be constructed of REINFORCED cement
and become a permanent improvement
that will cost nothing for maintenance.
A silo enables the farmer to save his
feed with the minimum loss of nutri-
ents. Feed cured in the open air sur
fers loss of about % per cent of nu-
triments, while ensilage loses about
10 per cent of nutriment.
Silage has been Complementary
tested at nearly all the agricultural
experiment stations with uniform IA
vorable results. 1t insures to the
dairyman succulent feed at all times
an important condition in milk produc-
ton, as succulent feed is best for
dairy cows.-Goodall's Farmer.

SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN
CANADA.

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was we'll out OF
the c. N r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush TO the land. the bumper crop,
the system of summer following pur-
sued in the semi-arid districts, were
all discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologize smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm a bit interested in this country
myself Some of the men down home
got few sections up here along this
line, and I'm going to have look al
them. Never been up in Canada be-
fore Git is curious how these mid
Western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
"Can'dy'O, but If it looks good We
will be up to stay next fall"
You see, it's like this" said the
man from Iowa, quite manifestly con-
tinuing an argument that had been
going on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
cry farm that's offered is snapped up.
In Saskatchewan we have just as good
land that cost us S11 and SD, so that
a man can take up five or six times as
much there as in Iowa on the same in
vestment of money.
1T isn't the money. though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around US back home. They have to
leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States TO get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with he chill
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought land This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fami-
lies that come to Canada are kept to.
gether and the families that buy the
farms they leave are kept together,
too. There won't be any slackening
of the rush, either for they still raise
big families back in Iowa"
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending step that meant a
new flag, a new allegiance, new land
and new associates. To abandon old
Glory" and the Declaration of indie,
pendence for a good thing in cheap
land would hardly be playing the
game, but to go out into Saskatche-
wan to keep the family together" was
another and quite higher motive.

reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? 1t is enough to

In the streets of Washington, trotting
indomitably about her business, very

some, often rebuffed. but with qualities
of honesty and courage to be respected.
There is given in the story of her
life by Sarah Harvey Porter delight
fui glimpse of her visit to ex-President
Madison and his wife. The contrast
between the gracious mature beauty
of charming Dolly Madison, elegant in
her rustling black silk, and the funny
little limping, shabby figure in anti
quated skirts and ridiculous wadded
bonnet, could scarcely have been en-
HANGED
AS usual, old Anne Royal had
tramped to save carriage hire; as usual,
her errard, probably none too welcome
to her hosts, was to secure an inter-
view and use descriptive background.
But Dolly Madison saw in the absurd,

her neither the reporter nor the guy
only an aged and weary woman who
was her guest. She hurried to bring
her a glass of water. then quite SIM

1t is small wonder that Mrs. Royals
clothes were queer. She was scarcely
of bent of mind frivolously to pur-
sue the fashions had she had the time
and money, but she had neither. Her
paper, the Huntress, of which she was
owner, editor and chief reporter, once
published conspicuously on the edi-

unique in journalism:
