It is a pleasure to be able to hear- tily commend the movement for the rehabilitation of the Frenoh-Canadian horse by the Dominion Government. That this distinctive, Canadian breed w as; allowed to decay and to al - 'nest disappear is a reproach to Min- isters of Agriculture of the past gee- eration ; but fortunately the type has nut become altcether extinct. Liv- ing models fur breder:e to aim, at exist, and, given pauper encourage- ment, ncouragemuent, we may expect them to dup- licate some of the wonders of stock breeders in England. It was once said that sheep breeders of the Old Country mimed to have first chalked on the barn door a sketch of the sheep they wanted, and then produced it in blood and flesh. The Great All-round horse. There is little difference of opinion as to what is required in a French- Canadian hors,'. Thousands of Ca- nadians who are yet young enough to take a keen interest in the renais- sance of the bleed have seen, owned and driven the type that is 'wanted. There is unanimity one essential points and little difference as to detail. The A plan of redemption, therefore, tis a feasible one. The only danger to be guarded against is one to which near- ly all live stock fanciers are prone— namely, the exaggeration of unessen- tial details. For example, a marked feature of the French.Canadian norse was the unusual length and luxuriance of his mane, tail and forelock. Com- monly his tail would touch the ground, and his mane would descend to the point of his shoulder, or even to his knees. Of course, the length of the tail had no relation to the horse's general quality, but there is the danger of breeders seizing on such an exeternal and noticeable point, and, in their eagei'nt'ss to re- establish it, neglecting the points of real value. Distinctive C'baracterisiuics. The French-Canadian horse was the best general purpose horse ever produced. It is a bold statement to ?hake, vet it is prohbbly"true, that he was worth the Clydesdale and the thoroughbred put together. If the stories we hear abcut him are true, he was the ideal horse. Ile was a' beautiful trotter, with a round, wheel- I like action, and could road 1(i• or 12 miles an hour without turning a hair. Weighing in the neighborhood of 1,2110, or even 1,100, he had the body and strength that would enable him 10 haul a rig and half a dazen peo- ple without fatigue. Weight for weight, it is said he could out -pull any horse. Another very distinctive characteristic was his general beauty and style. Finally, the was about the longest lived of any breed of horse. It was no uncommon thing to find bink at the age of 25 years still doing his regular work. Made in Canada. Though the name of the • farmer who bred or owned the first real •French-Canadian horse will never be known, and no monument can ever be reared to his memory, the breed was manufactured in the past hun- dred years by Canadians or English- men on Canadian soil. Three eel! recognized breeds were the ingre- dients fashioned by artificial selec- tion into the French-Canadian. There were the native French draft mares, chunky beasts a tuJte lighter than the Perchrron. 'These were bred to the thoroughbred horses that the English officers bad brought to this country for cavalry purposes. The product of this union was crossed with the Morgan horse, which gave toughness, speed and style on the trot. From, the thoroughbred came courage, beauty, and clean, flat none, and the French mares gave the neces- sary size and weight. The Decadence of the Breed. The American Civil War was the first step in the practical extinction of this model general purpose horse. Many thousands of the breed were bought for army service, and either met death oil subsequently fell into the hands of Wren who did not value the characteristics of the breed. A little later the French-Canadians were subjected to the competition of the American trotter, Which was a faster road horse. After that came the competition of fthe draft home from the British Isles, which were heavier and stronger. It was the old story of the specialist displacing the all- round man. Nc11tertheless, the time has conte again when the specialist is no longer in such keen demand. Gasoline is crowding him to the wall, but, a man who needs a horse to drive, to plow, to ride and to work in the bush cannot find any automobile or steam implement that will be an acceptable substitute. All over the world horses of the French- C'anedian type are! in demand, and far more could be probably sold than are likely to be raised in this generation. If the Dominion Govern- ment is able to revive the breed, it will have done something to entitle it to the gratitude of farmers and stock breeders everywhere. Should The Jews Move Back to Palestine ? Today is the day when the expul- sion of ,lets from le ley is due to occur. The revival of the war upon the Jews has attracted worldwide et- lentfoi, but since the sevel;ty of the Government seems to have the ap- proval of the Russian people hien- selves., and since the prosecuted ,Jews are Russian subjects, there seems little or no geaund for outside sym- pathizers to occupy when delivering protests. These Russians hate the Jays and are determined to make their lot in Russia unbearable. This hatred, it is said, is as strong in.the royal family as anywhere else, and, knowing that the C't.ar has no feel- ing of toleration for his Jewish sub- jects, officials do not hesitate to in - inflict upon than all the persecutions and tortures at their command. The Necessary Jew. While the Russians hate the .Jews and love occasionally to rob and murder them, it is doubtful if ;hey want to drive them out of Russia. They are ton valuable to be lost al- together, for in Russia, as elsewhere, the conunerciai capacity of the Jew ie a valuable asset in the transac'tion o' business. No Jew can leave Rus- sia without a permit, and permits are issued only to the Jew who is tip poor to be worth retaining, and at the same time is able to say a sub- stantial bribe. The motive '} tr,e, be- hind the last year's persecution t. ay be to reconfirm all Jews to the Pale, or else to make them n)v more heavily than at present for the privi- lege of residing elsewhere. i run- dreds of thousands of .Jews five be- yond the Pale, having bribed the officials to grant them this privilege, and the expulsions we now read of are from parts of Russia where the „Jew, Irani the point of view of Rus- sian law, has no t':ght to he. Tyranny in the Colleges. in the matter of educatdion, the Russian ,Jew is suffering more severe- ly than for a decade. The numr>t r 01 ,Jews that can attend any of the great schools has always been limit- ed hy law. As a rule, there is only one .Jew student permitted for every ♦ ten Christians, but in the past ff w months the percentage has been s.til , rt her reduced At the Kiev Poly- '', crani', for instance, the percentage 01 Jewish students has been reduced to 5 percent ; in Moo.•ow 1•niver.;ity it is 3 per cent. Moreover, the Min- ister of i':ducation has announced that his dripal"tm(ettt n.•Sery('$1 the Hat to •refine all ,Jews admittance should it so desire Even in the Pale the number of .Jewish school children is strictly limited to 15 per rent of the tots! roll call of any school It is said that the minister of Education is considerihe the ad- visability of (losing all the ,Jewish rlf'n>(ntary sr•hools in Russia, as well as the .)ewi eetTeachrrs' Institute at %Vilna \ \rw Prrsecutien \nt. very lour; ago a new persr•eu- ttnn ryae h.•gun dt, Odessa, and has ';mer seri 11) othere ('Itif - t 1 l a P peals that a Jew n•atnei iirodeev was elected to the rhunna His election w'R4 prot.•sted en the around that in his randelatiee he had usftl the• nature Arkadi, whit It is the Russian form or the 11rhr, w ran r Aaron The fthatauthorities took the ground thero was no such person as' Arkadi Brodsky. < sits. They also prosecuted Aaron and fined him., heavily. The idea vas flailed with delight by Jew - halters and at once they began to "smell out" Jews all over Russia who were trying to escape hostile atten- tdun by using Russianize•d' names. 'those thus detected in the univer- sities were expelled, Even a Jew who spelt his name Abram, instead of Abraham, was held to have com- mitted an offence. The Postal I)e- part.meat joined the other hounds and refused to deliver letters or parcels addressed to Jews in their Russianized names. Refinements of ('rue',y. The Governor at Odessa has prov- ed himself extremely fertile in devis- ing new methods of torturing the Jews. His latest edict commanded the Jews to inscribe a cross on every synagogue in the province. Seeing that to the Russian Jew the cross stands for barbarism and oppression, the refined cruelty of the Goovernor's order was extreme. There was so much opposition to this. edict that the Governor consented to compromise by having the cross on the vestry door instead et on the synagogue. It is said that if he had insisted on this insult, the Jews in Odessa were pre- pared to make a ferocioote armed re- sistance. In another distu:ct the Jewish children are obliged to ac- company the Christian children to church on .Sundays and Christian holi- day», when they are edified by at- tacks upon the faith of their fathers. All over Russia the police are break- ing up Jewish clubs for the propaga- tion of the Zionist agitation. They have seized the fundic sent into the country by non-Russian Jews for the furtherance of the plan, and are persecuting any Russian Jew who dares to o iggest that his people would do better away front Russia. It seems plain that the great revolu- tionary movement that has led to the establishment of a seriiblan•ce at least of denioci.ttie government in Russia, has done nothing for the ,Jews. Never in history have they been more cruelly persccutee(1 than at present . PU'RGATiVES ARi•: DANGEROUS. 'they grippe, cause burning pains and make the constipated condition even worse.

Farm Machinerg and the Potato - Crop, Although the potato has been grown in England for 300 years, it has been cultivated 'generally only for about 100 years, which is alse true in Canada and the United States of America. Being the only vegetable that contained starch in any consid- erable quantity, it has rapidly, grin - cd a place with the cereals as an article of food. Nor is tho potato only useful as a food stu3—it els() plays an important part in the pro- duction of prepared starch and in some countries in the manufacture of denatured alcohol, -No other field offers such an induce- ment to the farmer, if he has -suit- able soil, as does the cultivation of potatoes. Owing to the low prices prevailing in many sections this spring a good many of the younger potato growers have seined a •little diseouraged, hut there is no occasion for this. The circumstance brings to my mind the advice of an old farmer who had made a success of his, eon business. Ile stated that it was a pretty good plan to give careful -con- sideration to the product that was selling at a low figure. Not only did. you save in buying the seed, but in nine cases; opt of fen it was an. es pecially good paying crop the follow- ing season.. Making the Crop Pay. The introduction of labor saving machinery for handling the tuber le what has made the potato crop a pay- ing one, as it is entirely out of the queetion to try to raise them without the proper equipment. The extensive grower can very easily afford to in- vest in an outfit of these machines.; It is the small grower that hesitates. Often this obstacle can be overcome' by lteveral growers clubbing eo;eetner' and buying a machine. The planter will plant from, five to eight acres a day ; hence, cig:tt tr. ten farmers with an average of lit acres get their crops in very nicely. A cuts ter is a very useful little tool and should always accompany the planter. In Aroostook County,, Maine, U.•S... A., where potato growing has been the leading industry for some years and they have made a special study of the crop, the average yield has been as high as 480 bushels an area, and from Garfield County, Iowa, we hear of 400 bushels being harvested from one acre, while in the irrigated districts in the west of the United States of America the acreage have been even greater. However, the Earl of Rosebery, the potato wizard of Scotland, certainty heads the •.cist, reporting • last year 105,280 pounds, or about 1,754 bus- hels of marketable potatoes from one acre: These yields, .of course, . are un- usital, • but the average yield in Can- ada in 1909 was 193 bushels, which is certainly a: very good showing and means a good profit to the grower even at a moderate or low price:,.. There is neceesazily much labor in raising potatoes' after the planting is over, .as in nearly all 'localities now the potato bug and blight must . be fought, and if any constdei.'able . ac= reages are put in it must be done by machine'i:y. • There, are; however, . sev- eral good ' field sprayers on the mar- ket, spraying four rows at a time, such as the single and 'double syIin- der sprayers made hy the .Aspinwall .Manufacturing Company, whose Can- adian factory. is' at Guelpli,• Ontario, Orehar•d and . broadcast attachments can also be used with these machines, so the farmer is really getting an tall - around machine: Fighting Bugs and Diseases.

Where the pullets are to be kept far layers, this is not to be recommended. We always feed the batch in the usual manner till we kali select the cockerels. The age at whieh the cockerels can lie selected varies with different bleeds. In our caSe where we sell to the' summer resorts there is little sale 'before July'. Where they ar': sold to hotels they may be marketed earlier. Broilers should bring high prices this summer, as fowl is very scarce. If the cockerels., are to be fed' heav- ily, it is imperative that they, have every advantage possible to give thein in the way' of housing and runs. Give them plenty of room en the pen in or- der to allow for exercise on rainy' days. Have the house well ventilat- ed and allow plenty of light. Make low roosts and encourage the chicks to roost on them•, as it is very un- healthy for then to huddle up in one corner. Have the place warm and never allow the droppingis to accunnt- 1atc. If the chicks cannot' be induced to u.'t on the roost, give them plenty of clean chaff and allow 'no droppings to remain under then NMI previous nights. Where the youngsters are al- lowed to sit night after nights on their droppings, which are frequently wet, they will invar" nd)ly contract roup or sane other d'srase. Feed Them Often, The cockerels being selected and placed in a pro. and !having been pre- viously fed plenty of wholesome feted, slimed be in vigernus health end ready to stand plenty of for"ing. There are two 9 f S � , t 5t in of fattening. We al- ways prefer the wet ration, or inasli • feeding, as we ('an thus feed more of a variety. 11 Is advis•a;ble to feed the chicks several times a clay from the time they are hatched, as they will always do better en the same quantity Price. . Charles Wallace, who is 'well known in Ori'llta,, is quoted by the Packet as saying that farm lands near I,,umsden, Sask., are approaelringithe fifty dollar mark. Mr. Wallace himself recently sold seven adjoining quarter !sections for $10: an' acre. It would appear that, these lands are practically without buildings because we are told that they have •been bought by two men 'who intend working 1,920 acres in one block, on part of which they will use steam plows, with the bal- ance in hay and pasture for. the purpose of 'raising horses, Forty dollars an acre for lantlu t n Saskatchewan s thout, .or almost without, buildings is equal to double that price for farm land in Ontario with a moderate equipment in build- ings, fences and drainage. In this jP Province such land, capable of prs`- dueing as much per acre as. Saskat•m- ewan will produce; can be had for $60 an acre. In Ontario the pro- duce of farins in cattle, daisiy pro- ducts, bacon and poultry, will bring, at least 25 per cent. more than a similar output in Saskatchewan. Imre, too, much can be produced, in the way of fruit more particularly, that will add to the comfort of living as well as to the profit of farm life, In addition to 01 ibis' there are advan- tages in roads, schools and other things which go with an advanced civilization that can be had in Iarg- er measure here than there.

How long does same of our more expensive and most important farm machinery last ? How long does a binder last ? How much service can we get from a manure spreader, a side delivery rake, a hay loader ? These are questions we all ought to ask. The answer would invariably be, ';Not as long as they should," In many cases the failure of this machinery to last anywhere near the time it should help to keep its owner poor. How long does a binder last ? From one to three months will take in its average life of usefultaess! Ten days is time enough to eut the gr,"ain on the average farm each year, In six years this • would amount to two months; in 121 years, four months; arid there are few. binders, speaking generally, that are not consigned to the scrap heap long ere that time.
