Roup and colds in poultry are com­ mon ailments during the winter time on many farms. Much of this trouble can often be avoided if the poultry­ man will take a few precautions. Level roosts will aid very materially in pro­ tecting the health of the poultry. When the roosts are on a slant the birds always try to get on the top two oi' three roosts. Tho lower roosts will often be entirely vacant. This tends to crowd the birds together so that they become warm during the night. In the morning as the birds get down on tho floor their bodies cool off very rapidly. Colds and roup are much more common in houses where the birds are crowded together on the roost. Level roosts will help in avoid­ ing this trouble. The roosts should be four feet above the floor for the heavy breeds, such as Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks, and four and one-half feet from the floor for the lb1*- such aa Leghorns. avings BY SAMUEL TREMAINE. It makes me sick to place a loan on j a farm so that somebody can stuff his' _ „ . pockets, or has stuffed his pockets, worst, a guardian should be secured j Yet, I am often called upon to do this. I rather than let the swindlers do their i A man applying for a loan told me T~ A ” 5------------ ’ that the farm promised to him, and finally given to him by his father, who had lived with him many years on the ;■ place, was almost hopelessly encum- j hered by a loan, contracted by the ? fathei4 in his old age, to buy worth- »less mining stock. ! The father had kept the farm in his I own name, which was perfectly right and proper, but the son had improved and built it up, besides keeping the old gentleman without other compensa­ tion than the promise of the farm, only to find that he had practically to buy it over again to save his toil. And : he said that it might have been avoid- • ed if he had protected the old gentle- man from the agents who came to talk ? investment to him. He was sure that ; his hard-headed father who had work- l ed hard for the farm was secure against their talk; in fact, he always denounced wild-cat schemes, so the i son paid no attention until it was too late. A woman whose aged and infirm fathei- lived with her, always insisted upon sitting with her father and any stranger who might call. She said that she did not want to go to court and have her parent declared mental­ ly incompetent, but that she could not afford to see him penniless, for she and her husband with their own fam-1 ily to rear could not afford an extra burden, and an unnecessary one. THE STRANGER WITHIN THE GATES. Old people sometimes seem morej quick to believe strangers than their own people, andj if it comes to the 'work. In spite of all warnings, some . people in mentally schemes, wondered of a glib is to protect them from the swindler. Find out the business of every person ; who comes to have dealings with the I old lad 1(?S: £1 nd gentlemen; and know your community so well, that if any farmer is doing a little work on the side for* a stock company of any sort you can head him off in a hurry. There are mortgages now going on farms belonging to elderly people that would surprise many who knew these people in their prime, when an agent selling mining stock would have been kicked off the premises. A retired farmer begged an agent, who had promised him everything in the way of dividends and the refunding of his money, to take $600 worth of the stock he had bought and return him $300, but the agent laughed in his face. When that man must mortgage his farm his children will probably wish they had been more careful about letting strangers in to see him alone. Learn to head off the affable, pleas­ ant gentlemen who desire to get a little information from some of the pioneer residents of the community, for in nine cases out of then, they are handling propositions that will not bear government scrutiny. It is bet­ ter to be scared than to sorry. sound health and normal will invest in fraudulent ■'o old folks are not to bo at if they listen to the talk stranger.

Milburn's Field Husbandry Work. Alfalfa is the largest yielding hay crop grown on the Central Experi­ mental Farm at Ottawa and, points out the Ministei^of Agriculture in his latest report, is easily grown on soils suited to it. Demonstrations have proven the important fact that Can­ adian-grown alfalfa seed gives very much better results than those obtain­ ed from imported seed. Still dealing with the work of the Field Husbandry Division at the farm the Minister says that comparing sun­ flowers with corn for silage it has been found that on sandy soil corn gives a yield of actual dry matter slightly larger than sunflowers and that because it is easier to handle and makes slightly superior silage corn is to be prefei-red wherever it will grow satisfactorily. However, on heavy clay sunflowers have given materially larger dry matter yields than corn and for that reason possess some ad­ vantages on such soil. ----------------Q--------- ------- I Prevent Draggy Wings, About the time goslings and duck­ lings are making a change in plumage •and vocal powers the tips of the wings sometimes hang down over the bolster feathers and, as they gi'ow, drag on the ground.
