Don't Sacrifice the Stock.

Every farmer rejoices at the high
prices that now prevail for all kinds
OF grain and promise to continue u1-
der normal conditions. and he iS of
course justified in making every eff
fort to increase his yields per acre
and also his total acreage. If these
results are brought about by better
methods of tillage, better drainage
and better seed all well and good.
If, however; the acreage is increased
by breaking up good pastures and
meadows and disposing Of practically
all stock but the work horses, we
firmly believe that bad results will
follow any general trend in this direc-
ton.
Under such a system the soil will
naturally be drained OF It's fertility in
a comparatively short time, but even
were it practically possible to main-
tain the soil fertility, resulting prices
would be such that a decided change
would be demanded il a few years.
Any great increase in the production
of cereal crops would bring about a
big drop in prices, and any decided
reduction in the meat supply would,
necessarily boost the market price OF
cattle, sheep and hogs. Last fall the
general rush to dispose Of all classes
Of hogs. In order to save grain, has
resulted in placing hog prices on
record-breaking level. Not only were
small and unfinished pigs sent to the
markets by the trainload, but the
source of supply was very materially
reduced by the sale of brood sows.
Such action could only result in in
fated prices for pork. With cereal
crops one years production may be
such that the prices will drop amaz-
ingly. With meat production it may
require several years to even catch
up with the demand. Farmers should
bear these things in mind ard not
sacrifice their stock interests to in-s
crease their grain production.
The pendulum Of prices will swi,g
back again. and diversified fa-r,ingii is
far tie safest proposition To-Day IS 1T

A SPORTING Parson.

The inhibition Of a hunting rector
by his bishop reminds a correspondent
that the Rev. Jack Russell, the ia
nous west country sporting parson,
was once cited to appear before the
bishop Of Exeter to answer charges Of
neglecting his spiritual and parochial
duties, and he was also demonstrated
with for keeping and following pack
Of hounds. The charges were proved
unfounded, and Russell refused to
give up the sport, which he continued
to pursue almost to the day of his
death in 1888, at the age of eighty
eight. Besides being an Unsuitable
hunter, he was, as his biographer
pithily remarks, "a stanch supporter
Of Devonshire wrestlers, an admirable
sparrer and an enthusiastic upholder
Of the virtues Of Devonshire cider and
cream" And in the pulpit he tried to
reform conduct rather than to ex-
pound doctrine and was stern de-

Books Of Reference.

Newspaper editors like to answer
questions addressed to them by their
readers-if they are not too hard
and they deem themselves as arbiters
rather than as accessories to a mis-
demeanor when they are appealed to
for information ''to decide a bet" But
they wonder sometimes why certain
questions are put to them for arbitra-
ment when the answers are to be
found in one of three very accessible
books-an almanac, grammar and a
small dictionary.
These are books Of reference that
ought to be In every home library,
however small. We guess that they
are. but that they are sometimes dusty
with misuse or out Of easy reach on a
