Their Qeestione and epannents Ott Live Stock and Vann Prothice at the Exhibition are Enough to make Horee Laugb. For a long time it has been the fashion for city people to poke fun at the farmer when the latter fa iLl. a big city, but to an unpreludieed observer, t.he city man when out of Jus element is just as impossible, makes as many silly commente and asks as many "fool questione" as the most farmerish farmer. The Cana- dian loam found that to be true at the Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto. "A city man about sixty years old, came through here," said one of the men looking after the Jerseys of 13. 13.. Hull a: Son, of Brampton, "and, pointing to our cattle, said, 'Are those Guernseys or Dairy Short- horns ?' " That's just a sample of the city peo- ple's remarks in the cattle barna. One woman doing the barns had no trouble picking out the bulls from the cows, because she was :rare that any with- out horns were what scmebody else called "genteemen cows." ' Jersey cattle were given the name of practic- ally every other breed. Meetly people asked questions that showed that they hadn't the faintest idea how milking was done. It'was only natural that .thet young fellows in eharge of the cat- tle should do a Itttle "kidding," and one of them had no difficulty in getting a city chap to beiteve thal "we milk that one with a washtub, and elle usually fills "Do you polish their horns to Make them shine ?" was what might be call- ed foolish question 1111, and the at- tendant would be pardoned if by had answered, "No, to make them milk better." A man who was paring a eow's hoofs was asked in all serious- mby a woman, "Are you paring her nails, sir ?" And some people , who saw a man milking by hand were quite taken with the way the "milking ma- chine," worked. It seems hard to be- lieve the man who •state.' tbat4 he heard two women discussing whether a cow was milked by pumping her tail, but he swears that it's the truth. Look for Size, not Quality. "Anything big and fat takes their eye," said a man who, like all the other attendants, found that • it was .imply size and not quality that • at- tracte city people. "They don't see 1 he good pointe of a calf, although -they call it a 'pretty little " Horses being seen in the city., the city folk don't ask so many silly quese tions about themas about. cattle, but it was a surprise to some city people to tind that horses are cleaned: And, as with the cattle, the attractionwee size. one herseman summed up the city people's viewpoint by saying, if he's a big horse, he's a goo•ct ova." It's size also that takes the city people's eye whtn they're w.andering through the tog pen, although the women folk rave over the "baby pip." The Pigs 01 the betiveen sizes may have all the good periats possible for a pig, but to the city folk in gen- eral he's just a pig. And, as in the hose and cattle stables, the men look- ing after the pigs have hard work tO keep from laughing at some remarks the etty people enake. All kinds of guesses are made as to the breed ot the "grunters," and when the ues- ing contest gets too hot, the at•tene dant settles everything with same such remark as, "Oh, the ones in that pen are razor backs." A "Short -horn" Sheep. The attitude of the attendants was well stated by a man who was look- ing after Ids own sheep exhibit. "We deal mind giving all the informatgon we can to the people who don't pre- tend to know," he said, "but we bave no use for the know-it-all from the city, You hear a youngster sax, 'What kind of sheep is that, daddy?' and the father answers, 'That's a Short -horn,' and proceeds to tell where the 'Short -horn' came from. The man is the head of the house. He'e the main gay, and he has to keepup hie reputation." City folk go look,. ing through the sheep pens for •Berke shires as well as Short -horns ; indeed they get the breeds of animals beautie fully mixed. Seeihg the metal tap .ois which sheep are registered, one wome an said, "Oh, look ! They put ear- rings on the sheep to make themloOk pretty." 'It happened that a small breed of sheep were riglit next 'IV a breed of large size, • and the usual .re- mark concerning the two kind was, "These are the lambs andthose* are the shecp.'' , • "They think we're shearing the, sheep when we're merely doing a little •clipping," said a man Nilo looks, after some el the elieep. "Yes, the city people rave over the very' big sheep or the Telly little Ones. They make remarks that are toe funny for any- thing, and they ask questions that you wouldn't .believe possibk. But the children . are getting better. The youngsters are getting to know more, and 'I suppose it's because they soak :n a little nature study at school," - Badly mixed on Vitgetables. Among theexhibits of vegetables flat city people:. reve over the big mangs els, big pumpkins, .big squash and big; cabbage. .And the way they mix the names of the various exhibits makes ono- think of vegetable soup. And so it goes all down the line of things that are iron the farm. The maw looking after the poultry said that he sometimes has to "go` away and laugh" at some of the thinga said to him by the city folk. And thearian who was talking bees to all who wish- ed • to learn about the busy . „Stele thinks, .was•soinewhei surprised to •have a city man proudly give utter- ance to this rieli bit of ;wikdome. "If you hold your breath a bee can't king you."-Canadien Farm.* • Behind the Scenes in the B Banks. Four big banks in the Wall Street district resemble the great gold mines of the West in one striking feature. They have three eight-hour shifts of• toilers, and the work never stops. One set takes up the routine where the other leaves off. All night long, Sun- days and holidays, astati of Inen each of these banks is busy opening thousands of letters, sorting and list- ing innumerable checks and drafts that represent fabulous SUMH of money and getting them ready for theday force, which is the only one the public:comes; in contact with or ever hears about. If this work was not .carried on inces- santly the banks would be overwhelrn. wit•h a mountainous accumulation of detail. Two shifts, Ow ''''outing force," as they call themselves, work between live in the afternoon and nine the next morning, say' Harper's Weekly. Each bank has a big drawer in the general pcst office. Messengers dealt thin Of letters every hour all night long. Threethousand' letters a day is the average mail of one of these big banks.

Digging of late potatoes, which in -most cases is the greater part of the ceep,•should tea 'commence until the vines have hem dead for fnint, time. By allowing the potatoes to lie in the ground for a short time in this • way, any disease ahieh may he on the tub- ers will be given a chance to develop. All the disoased potaeoes. can be sort- ed out in picking the (fret time and on- ly the clean potateeo stored. With ark; potatoes the case is different. The potatoes are dug when the vines are green and marketed immediately, potato rot having no time: to develop between digging and marl/citing. In digging our potato crop, we first ion an ordinary plow under the ridge of potato, s, throwing them nut on to one side. A potato fork is them used to loesen out these furrows and throw the tubers out on the Pittance. 15y ns. in the plow to supplement' the hand digging, the potatoes ma be harveated with half the time and h•se• than half the expense.

'There seems to be a differenee of .opinion expressed in rather acrituoni- pus terms as to whether the thous- ands of American. taunters who be- came Canadian settlers in the past few years are returning to the Unit- ed States. hi Canada the idea is that More and more Americans are coming amass ; in the United States they say the migration has almost (teased, and that some 15,000 dis,illusioned Americansare making for Uncle Sam's side of the border. On the one' hand is the official United Staten, clahn that Ode number of tanners re- turned in the last nine months; on the other, Canada's official reports that 100,000 settlers with $100,000,000 in coin and chattels have come over in a year. .„ Why They Quit, One would suppose the New Orleans Times -Democrat to be far enough flora the spot to give an impartial opinion, and the reasons for it. Aeconding to this authority "The American settlers were dis•satisned with the character of the land, tbe, crops from which, thtty alleged, consisted chiefly of alfalfa and such hardy grains as Mater wheat, and even these were not sure. The form of government did not appeal to them, and they considered the railroad freight rates exorbitant. The climate was a source of dissatisfaction, ice and snow in August and September of last year adding to their discomfort." this is true, we cannot blame the Americana from returning to the balmier climate • of Dakota, to the more popular forms of government as. exemplified in Pennsylvania, Ithode Island and °thee antgent homes of liberty, and to the richer soil of Nevada and Wyoming. Why Go Back ? We wonder what the 15,000 "tired,' disappointed, dieillusioncel" American farmers are going; to do, now that they are back bome. For leaving the Western States in the first instance they had, plenty of season, and while Western Canada May .00t have proved the earthly paradise scme expected, the reasons for leaving the. Western States reene4in strong as ever. Those reasous are not disputed.. Tre- ;rnendoue prices were paid foe. farm • land in the Weetern States, and the farmers, to the. number of tens of thousands, sOld • out at top prices.

In other weeds, there is more land than there are settlers in Canada, wbile in United States the ease is revered. Until the proper- tioas become adjusted, irrespective of the boundary line the demand for Canadian farms by American farmers is very likely to continue. Defaming Canada. That something in the nature of a national conspiracy to check the move- ment northward exists in the United States there can be littie doubt. The railroads of the United States are very much interested in luring back the "dissatisfied farmers," anti they aeg suspected of being responsible for the unblushing slanders that. have eman- ated front several sources. We recall the gifted Winnipeg newspaper man who volunteered to supplY matter de- famatory of Canada for distribution in different parts of the United States. The effort' of the Canadian Government to check the spread of glanders on the frontier was exploited as a reason I why no American should venture to eross the border. • • the American Settlers. .

The Split Log Drag Does Good Work. By Prof. Dolve, Dakota Agricultur- al College. One of the best implements yet de- vised for renairing road:, is the King split log diag or some modification of it whion may be made either of wood or steel. (Aa illtuttration of a split • log drag appeared in Canadian Farm of July 22nd.) The roads should be dragged with this implement as soon after a rain as possible ; when 4. the drag squeezes the water out of the soil leaving a smooth layer of puddled soil on the road surface whieh bakes hard when dry. and •"sheds water like a duck." The effect of the drag is accumulative in a way vetty much similar to the application of paint oa a building -for, the thinner the coats and the •gueater the number the more lasting is the paint. Every time the drag is used a new layer of pude died soil is smeared on top of the•pre- ylons one until after several years of tho accumulation effect of dragging, a road cruet, consisting of a 'elle nunie ber of thin layers of puddled 6On is formed that will supped the heaviest traffic' without breaking up. The drag not only;Iteeps the road smooth and well crowned, but also keeps the diteh- es clean so that, it outlets; are pro- vided for them as there ehould ; be, water will run away from the made and the grade thus remains. • There is a total of about seventy-, • Iwo miles of road in a township, but utetally lest than thirty -live are trav- elled to any extent, In many town - 'ships one man and two horses could 'maintain the roads perfectly through- out the summer mcoths with a road drag. In others, two man and four horses would be required to do the work when it should be done. This system of maintenanve would not be at all prohibitive .and it would be, found that in old townships where the roads are already graded there would be little use foe the road grader. A- bout the . only repair that would have to be attended to outside ogthis sys- tem would be the building of bvidges anti culvertsawl this ;could, in time, be ahnost eliminated if tainforeed con- crete were used in their construction wnerever possible. Maker and Patrons Should Co-operate. • If the cheesernaker or buttennaket and the patrons are to get the most front the .dairy business, there should .be a spirit .01 friendly co-operation betweea them. Each should do his best to help the other and take al sympathetic interest in the other's businosss Farm and Derry recently wrote'to a cheesemaker in Ontario asking him for some information con- cerning the condition of the crops in the neighborhood of his factory. He replied as follows "I would he pleas- ed to give you the informetioa you desire but most excuse myself on the plea of ignorance. .1 know nothing about the .condition DE the crops In One neighborhood and what is more, it is none of niy bueiness. I am a cheeeemaker, not a farnirr 1 at, tend to my business and let them at- tend to theirs." Much an attitude an the part of the maker does not tend to increase the interes•t of the • patrons in the success of the factory. If the maker. takes absolutely no interest in the patrone4 affairs how can he expect the patrons to take an laterost in his affairs? 'the patrons go to a lot of trouble to take proper care of the milk, delietr it in good condition and so forth for their own profit, but it .is at the same time to the profit of the maker. The maker can en. coterage . the farmers in this line if he takes an interest in al"! the doings of his patronsand is able to diecussi their problems with them intelli- gently.
