Hints About the Farm.

The four dairy essentials are light,
ventilation. a proper floor and a COM
Portable tie.
All COWS that are weak, extremely
thin and coughing must be removed
from the herd
Let the sheep CLEAN over the grain
and cornfields if the land is free from
burs and cookies.
Pals, cans. straiIers, coolers and
every other utensil that comes in con
tact with the milk should be washed
and sterilized.
Farmers who have given cowpeas a
fair trial have almost invariably con-
tinued their use along with their
other staple crops.
Frequent blowing will gave a larger
average crop with an equal amount of
fertilizer, but it mosts more to pro.
duce and is more work to harvest
With good grass land it is consid-
cred that the plan of moderate top
dressing with chemicals bringe a larg
er income for the labor employed than
any other sytem of management.

Incubators and Breeders.

Poultry PickiuCS.

Watch closely and mark the hen
that is laying an egg each day. She
is the kind you want TO perpetuate
in the flock.
Weed out the hens that lay the
small-sized eggs. They are the I'M
profitable ones and never will! i'm
prove the quality of the flock.
There are some poultrymen who ad-
vocate pullets for breeders instead of
yearling hens. 1t is generally found
that well-developed fowls make the
most prolific breeders.
If you have both pullets and old
hens in your flock keep close watch
and see which one is laying the most
eggs. A little knowledge along this
line may assist next season in select
ing a flock of winter layers.

GERMANY AND CANADIAN
WHEAT.
Looks tn the Canadian West for Her
supply.

Looks to the Canadian West for Her
supply.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, dated March is, 1910. says that
Germany is anxious to secure a share
of Canadian wheat to supply her I'M
ports of that cereal" The recent ad-
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past. and considerable development Of
trade between the two countries is
now certain. The great men of the
United States are alive TO the wheat
situation in this country now. and
there is consequently the deepest in
tsrest in every feature that will tend
10 increase and conserve the wheat
supply. With its present 650,00O,OOO
bushel production of wheat and all
efforts TO increase it almost unavail-
ing, and the rapidly growing consump-
ton of its increasing population, there
is certainly the greatest reason for
the anxiety as TO where the wheat Is
10 come from that will feed the ma
ton. The United States will be forced
as Germany is to look TO the wheat
fields of Canada. One province alone
raised last year One-eighth as much
as the entire production of the United
States, and but a twelfth of the wheat
area has yet been touched. The Amer
leans who have gore to Canada, are to-
day reaping the benefit of the demand
for Canadian wheat and they will con-
tinue 10 join in the benefits thus
reached for a great many years. Spleen
did yields are reported from the farms
of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
acre blocks. and from other lands that
have been purchased at from S12 to
s15 an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow. Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota. says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels OF
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
Il: also 20 acres spring breaking on

20 bushels per acre. Had 20 acres in
oats and got 20 bushels per acre, and
500 bushels potatoes on one and three
quarter acres, and can therefore safely
say that l had a fine crop and am
well satisfied with my homestead
He is considered but small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others. hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly greater.
The story of the experience of Ameri-
can farmers in the Canadian West is
a long one. The time to go, would
appear to be now. when splendid selee-
ton; may be made, and where land
can he purchased at prices that will
be doubled in a couple Of years.

During an experiment in Cornell
University a few years ago the aver
age feed cost for eggs throughout the
year was about cents per dozen.
Other experimenters give the cost of
eggs in winter at 10 cents per dozen
and in summer 81 cents. Under the
present prices of feed eggs would cost
about l. cents per dozen. but it must
be remembered that on the farm the
hen picks up the most part of her liv-
ing from the waste material that is
scattered over the farm. so that the
cost of a dozen eggs is very small
item OF cash outlay.

In a county seat in one of the mid

Bridge Drafting,

Where trees are found girdled IN
the spring. the only method OF saving
them is by the practice of what is
known as bridge-g grating.
If young trees be girdled in late
spring just as growth is beginning,
they may be successfully treated by
binding about the wounded parts a
heavy covering of smooth. tenacious,
soft clay. 1t is safer, however, to In
sert few long scions, as shown in
the accompanying picture. The sap

wound made by the rodents, is re-
sumed through the scions, which be-
come a part o. the tree-enlarging
and growing together until, in after
years. only a slight enlargement or
bulge on the trunk of the tree thus
treated will be noticeable.

should be made clean and smooth with

There are four different ways of bak-

popular being as follows: Boil three

them in strips and arrange them IN

each layer with sugar and small pieces
of butter. Shake little of the sugar
and butter on the top and bake until
brown. If the potatoes are too dry,

The Asparagus Beetle.

This is a troublesome pest and hard
to fight. Clean cutting, especially in
ridge culture, keeps them well under
control in spring, but considerable
harm is done later on by slugs or
larvae. Poultry are very fond OF these
beetles, and few fowls will soon
capture the matured insects If allowed
in a garden bed An extensive grower
Of asparagus in Massachusetts, finds
that most of the beetle eggs have been
sucked dry and destroyed by a species
of small fly, which has made its ap-
pearance for the first time in large
numbers this year.
