The Nassar Girls Concert.

The concert given by the Nassar
Girls in the Normal School Auditor
ium on Wednesday evening was
something new to the music lovers
of Farmyille. and proved by far the
most attractive entertainment of the
lvceum course for this season. The
generous programme, consist
ing mainly of selections Of the light
er. popular type, presented many
musical novelties and displayed the
versatility of the clever college
girls. who could play on the saxo-
phone. cornet, trombone, violin
flute clarabella. bassoon, and oth'
er wood-wind instruments, anc
could also sing and whistle. Every
number was given with some catch!
touch of originality that appealed
to the audience. which demanded NJ
merous encores.
From purely a musical point o
view. the best numbers were thos
from Gounod's Faust" Verdi
"Rigoletto." and Donizetti's "Luci
di Lammermoor,' arranged for
sextette of saxaphones. These II
struments. somewhat new to Farm
Vile concert-goers. produced plea
sing effect of richness, mellownesi
and smoothness particularly suite
to sustained tones.
Among the solos Miss Sandager
violin numbers were sweet and dan
I ty. Miss Gary's and Miss Halls sa'
ophone selections were clear and
quid. Miss Callahan's familiar co
net songs were plaintiff and appea
ing. while Miss McCoy's voice e
pecially in the simple old fayorit
accompanied by herself, was girls
" sweet and pure.

SHOULD PROVIDE
DIPPING TANK FOR SHEEP
Advantages This Treatmens Are Great and Not Ex-
pensive Difficult BuId-A


one of the galvanized tanks and hau.
it to their respective farms as IT, Is
wanted. A dipping vat for sheep
should be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around in 1t, and
deep enough to swim large sheep,
The length of the vat should depend
upon the number of sheep which can
be dipped in day There is consid'
cradle variation as to the width oil
watts found on different farms, and as
usual thing they are wider than
necessary. Then, too, the narrower
the vat the less the dip required to
fill ii. A vat twenty inches wide at
the top and eight inches wide at the
bottom is a fair average as regards
width, although some very practical
sheep men construct their watts as mar
row as sixteen inches at the top and
six inches at the bottom when the
vat is four feet deep.
The dipping vat used at the Ken
lucky experiment station is located
in the driveway of the hoghouse and
can be used for the dipping OF sheep
and young pigs. 1t is built entirely
of concrete, the walls Of which are
six inches in width, with the excep-
ton of the partition between the vat
and dry chamber, which has thick
ness of nine inches. The end Of the
vat into which the hogs and sheep
are plunged is perpendicular, while
the opposite end is provided with an
incline which is quite deeply creased
so that the animal can walk out. The
floor around the end of the vat from
which the sheep emerge is so graded
that all drippings return to the vat
There are sewer connections with this
outfit, the valve of which is located
in the dry chamber. The dry cham.
Der allows the attendant to carefully
control the dripping, break up thick
scabs with a brush, and, if necessary
help the sheep up the incline. and
also go to the aid of sheep quickly
if it shows signs of strangling. This
vat is quite inexpensive.
A chute like this can be built with
little trouble. The incline to the vat

and be smooth and we'll covered, but
not so fat as for market.
This can be very easily done by
feeding mixed grain ration, with ten
per cent. Of tankage or ten per cent.
of oil meal.
Use corn. barley and oats ground
together, mixed thickly with water and
fed at once while sweet 1t is much
better to mix three pounds of milk to
one pound of grain.
If one has no milk the next best feed
is ten per cent. Of tankage. If one has
the corn and does not want to buy
the mill feeds, he can use 80 per cent.
of corn and 20 per cent. of tankage
and have well-balanced ration.
The summer treatment of young pigs
Should be about the same as for the
market pigs. For late summer and
field of Evergreen sweet corn to feed
in the roasting ear.
/ begin by adding one stalk and ear
for each pig in addition to his other
feed in a few days, two stalks and
two ears, and gradually increase this
amount to full feed, while diminish
ing the other ration.
In winter the brood sows should
have something to take the place of
the green pasture.
| know of nothing that will equal
alfalfa, bright and green, run through
cutting machine. Two-thirds chaffed
alfalfa and one-third shelled corn,
mixed together and ground in a steel
bur grinder, makes an almost ideal
ration, which can be fed dry or mixed
thickly with scalding water; a little
salt adds relish. 1t is cheap ration
and has just bulk enough to take the
place of grass.
If one cannot have alfalfa, bright
well-cured clover is good. Sorghum
cane is a good fall feed until heavy
freezing. Mangles or sugar beets are
of course very good.

PROPER CARE
GIVEN SWINE
Feed and Attention Must BE Var
led in Accordance with What
Is Desired to BE Done
with Animal.
CBy A. j. LOVEJOY.)

The pig that is to be sold for meat
has but few months to live and there
should be no let-up in feeding from
birth.
1t will begin to eat shelled con- at
three or four weeks of age, and lit
tie sweet sllim-milk or a thick mush
of the same material as that given the
mother is a great help to hasten
growth.
Well-bred or even good-grade pigs
should weigh sixty to eighty pounds
when weaned at three months Of age,
and should then go on alfalfa or 9th
er green pasture and have corn twice
a day.
Late In the summer there should be
ready for them a pasture OF rape, field
peas or soy beans, besides the corn.
If their teeth become sore, change
to shelled corn, soaked "a hours in
water slightly sailed.
1t will pay to have a cool, shady
place where it is rather dark, If pos
sible, for the pigs to lie in during the
heat of the day, with free access to
r mixture of salt, cepperas, lime and
ashes.
The feeder should watch closely to
see that every pig Is eating with a
relish.
If pigs cough it is probably due to
a dusty shed. Worms will also cause

ing and dead in appearance it is we'll

In raising hogs to be used as breed
ers the object is very different. They
are not TO go to market at six to ten
months of age, but to grow on to ma
turity.
They should be pushed for rapid
growth, but must be fed for a growth
of frame and bone; not fattened on
corn, but expanded by feed rich in
protein.
At six to- eight or ten months OF age
they should show more length OF BODY
and more scale than the market hogs

be allowed to stand for at least half An
hour before being put into the bath.
Each sheep should be immersed in the
dip for two minutes by the watch, the
head being ducked at least once just
before the animal energies from the
vat. Within 10 or IA days the dipping
should be repeated in order to kill
all mites Matched since the first dip
ping, as the eggs are more resistant
to the dips than are the mites.
Sheep may be dipped in the winter
In many localities, but warm, dry days
must be selected for the purpose and
the dipping discontinued in the middle
Of the afternoon. If the sheep, after
being dipped, are allowed to stand for
a few hours on the sunny side Of a

barn they will not chill as quickly as
If turned inside building at once.
Dipping watts can be made of wood,
metal or concrete. A farmer owning
as many as 20 sheep should have
good dipping vat. For a small number
than this the barrel used to scald the
pigs will do if the farmer feels that
he cannot afford to purchase or build
a vat. A good galvanized vat ten feet
long and four feet deep, made pur-
posely for dipping, can be purchased
for about $12. There are smaller
sizes than this that can be purchased
for less money. Three or four farm
ers can club together and purchase

EIGHTEEN YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN 3 DOLLARS
HE Is NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN,
CENTRAL CANADA.

Arriving In Canada in 1891, just
eighteen years ago, e. A. Guillomin
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman. He had but
a little over two dollars in his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars OF
the ten dollars required to secure en-
try for a homestead Of one hundred
and sixty acres. He eventually bor-
rowed the money and near Forget,
Saskatchewan, he started life in Can
ada on the homestead in which to-day
he is the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillomin did not acquire
all these acres as result altogether OF
his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful,
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about $500 per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some Of which
he can sell at $500 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 54h days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels of wheat,
Of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at a price varying from "a
to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of fax. He owns 104 horses
and a number Of cattle, but since the
construction Of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year he bought his first thresh-
ing machine, paying for 1t the sum
of $1,000. He estimates that the ma
chine earned for him this fall $4,000,
thus paying for itself in one season
and leaving 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not single day being lost
in the two months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No. 1
and No. Northern. In the past nine
years seven good crops have been har-
vested on this farm. For six success
sive years the returns were excellent,
that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903,
1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two fol-
lowing years there was a partial fail
ure. AS the years have passed the
quality of the buildings on the farm
have been steadily improved, and are
now as good as can be found in the
district. About $4,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillomin,
The farm consists of G,SS0 acres, OF
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.

Scabby sheep should be dipped at
the first opportunity, for if kept until
shearing time most Of the wool may be
lost and the vitality Of the animal
greatly reduced. All sheep badly af-
fected with the disease should, before
being dipped, have the thick scabs
softened by pouring some of the dip
on them and rubbing them with a
smooth stick, care being taken, how
ever, not to draw blood. for upon CO.
agulation it is likely to protect the
