Live stock Builds I'd Land.

1t is very well known that in the
old agricultural districts of Europe
where land has been under cultivation
for 1000 years there is an increasing
tendency to expand live stock indus
try. 1t is now recognized that animal
husbandry is a wonderful help in not
only maintaining the fertility of the
soil, but also live stock industry
builds up the land. Germany now mas
l0.967 900 milk COWS, an increase of
100000 in the past seven years. The
total number of cattle in the empire
aggregates 2O,631 900, a gain of nearly
100000 since 1883. Pigs total %
$4,000, as against 100000 in 1888
The only class of live stock which
shows a decrease is sheep, which de-
clined 100000 in the past seven
years.

Tungsfen LAMPS for Farms.

The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use of
electricity on farms. 1t is possible for
the farmer with a small plant driven
either by a gasoline engine or by
damming a small stream, to obtain
sufficient current to light his house
and barn with this economical type of
incandescent lamp. The use of elec
tricity on the farm. by the way, is
growing, and, as pointed out by the
Electrical World. farmers will in time
come to consider electricity a neces-
sity. Then it will be found profitable
20 establish central generating stations
for farming districts to take the place
of the small individual plants now be-
ing installed.

According to Canadian railway sta.

States has a population of 3S1 for

France has 1880 for each mile of rail
way, and the United Kingdom 1921.
In India there are 10.119 people for

HOY Eskimn, Mensnrc lime.

Writing of the Eskimo methods of
measuring time in a region OF six
months day or night, Harry Whitney
in Outing says:
The Eskimo divides his periods
into Sleeps but a sleep does not desig-
nate by any means the civilized meas
ure OF day and night. 1t is. in fact,
a very uncertain term Often we trav-
eled from twenty to thirty hours with
out rest. Now there was no night. and

MIX Production.

Where help can be obtained to oper-
ate the dairy, milk production is one
of the best paying branches of animal
husbandry. The farmers operating
their holdings with mich cows are
enabled to market all the roughage
and grain produced on the farm in
milk. butter, cream or cheese. The
dairy industry is especially adapted 10
build up and increase the fertility of
the farm. 1t is popular among farm
ers because the farmer realizes a
monthly income on his investments

which so often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but a little care and
the use of the proper emOllients, ba6y's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fled and beautified, minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and

When we behold a wide, turf COW
esed eXpanse we should remember that
its smoothness, on which so much of
its beauty depends, is mainly due to
all the inequalities having been slowly
leyeled by worms. 1t is a marvellous
reflection that the whole of the super
fetal mold over any such eXpanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies of worms.
The pillow is one of the most ancient
and most valuable OF mans inven-
tions, but long before he existed the
land was, in fact, regularly plowed by
earthworms. 1t may be doubted
whether there are many other animals
which have played so important a
part in the history of the world as
have these lowly organized creatures
Some other animals, however, still
more lowly organized namely, corals
have done far more conspicuous
work in having constructed innum-
cradle reefs and islands in the great
oceans, but these are almost confined
to the tropical zones.

is best to mortise the ends of the cross

Corn fodder and slower have in the

and silage in beef production all of
the corn plant can be used TO good
advantage.
The legumes, including clover and
alfalfa of the north and cowpeas of
the south, have been found very profit
able and economical in feeding both
steers and hogs. Careful experiments
have shown that steer will make
more economical gains on about half

equal weight OF alfalfa hay than on

such as alfalfa and cowpeas are being
used, with less corn.

quickly as possible. Ten days is long
enough, but it should be confined

should be fed four times a day, the
first meal being given early and the
last one late. A recommended mix
