May 11e look forward 'with any con- fidence to tlie next season's) or next year's market? Should he prepare, a$ against an advertised shortage and neigh prices for all ciasses or farm animals,n 1 - by breeding larger num- ber b ked eg a arg 1 nt her of Blares or of carve, sheep, hugs and poultry? We are confident that the farmer has never been in a more secure position than the present, as regards the extension of his breeding operations, but, to enable him to form more easily id own conclusions, the following facts are submitted: Since the oetbrealt of the war, the British Remount Commission has iiureliasetl in t.'auada 15,000 Horses; b,(100 have been bought by French contractors and 25,000 by the Cana- dian Department of llfihitia, The De- partment of Militia is now engaged in buying an additional tliounand head. The I3ritish Remount Commission has purchased over 700 since March and 1111 is buying daily in Montreal. French contractors are anxioue to obtain sup• plies and are arranging to buy all that are available both in the east and in the west, It is understood that, as a result of the purchases already made, army buyers are finding it increasing- ly difficult, both in United States and in Canada, to -readily secure the num- ber of horsey which they require, par! titularly of the type . suitable for heavy cavalry or heavy artillery. In addition to the purchaeee for army account, commercial activity from two distinct quarters has ex- erted a very evident influence upon the Canadian horse market during the past three or four months. Since the beginning of the yea;•, 6,000 horses reached the Winnipeg Stock Yards from Eastern Canada, and 5,917 were shipped from the same yards vests weed, mostly to Saskatchewan, Dur- ing the months of January, February and March, 1,805 horses were ex- ported to the United States. A few hundred more went forward to the same market in April, The horses ex - Ported were good farm chunks weigh- ing 1,300 to 1,500 the. As high as $500 a pair was paid for animals possees- iug extra quality and confirmation. This new movement in the horse mar- ket is having ite effect upon prices all over Canada. Buyers report that the iletter classes of drafters and farm chunks are get•, ting scarce and hard to buy. The same holds true of good big roadsters and saddlers. The noticeable scarcity of good horses of these descriptions il- lustrates the fact that demand has al- ready overtaken supply and makes it very evident that all the really good sound mares in the country should be bred this year. It cannot be too strongly emphasized, however, that they should be mated only with strict. ly high class sires. The number of horses rejected by army buyers clear- ly .Indicates that there is no place for the unsound horse or for the misfit. Such animals have been, are now and always will be a drug on the market. Breed to the best if you would have the best, Unsound or malformed mares are just as bad as unsound stallions. It is easier to raise a good animal than a poor one. Manage the work this spring in order that the best mare on the farm may be regularly return. ed to the Horse. Next` year, a good crop of sound, healthy colts will bei as good as a bank account. Canada ie likely to enter shortly the commercial export market, and that market will require all you can produce. PREVENTING MOTTLED RUTTER, Mottled butter, though it may be of very good flavor, is strongly dis- criminated against by the purchaser. As this is a defect of workmanship, it can be overcome by the application of proper methods on the part of the buttermaker. Mottles are caused primarily by an uneven distribution of salt in the butter. This may be produced by in- sufficient working of the butter or by churning, washing, and working it at a very low temperature, or by washing or working it at a tempera- ture lower than the churning temper- ature. When the quantity of butter made in one churning is much less than usual, it is necessary to work it a greater number of revolutions of the churn than usual in order to produce the same results on the butter. Extremely low temperatures should be avoided, because they pro. duce so firm a butter that it is only with great difficulty that the salt can be worked uniformly into it. -High temperature of churning, washing and working must also be Granulated 2 and 54b.

Under normal conditions the temperature of the wash water should be the same as, or within two degrees of, that of the buttermilk, When the churn room is so cold that the butter becomes chilled be- fore working is completed, mottled butter is frequently tlie result. To prevent this it is preferable to in- crease the amount of working rather than to raise the temperature of the wash water, Mottled butter, then, 'may be pre- vented by using methods that will insure a uniform distribution of salt. TO TELL WHEN IN CALF. Someone was asking how, lay the taste of milk, to tell where a cow was In calf. Here is a way we have used for some time, without failure. Take a glass of clear, cold water and from the end of a straw or Ranting needle, drop a drop of fresh milk into the water. If not in calf, the milk will at once mingle with the water and make it milky, but if in calf, the milk Will go in a string in a spiral shape to the bottom of the glass, and the far- ther on a cow is in calf, the heavier the string and the more noticeable it is, but it can be detected even after the first few months. For an inex- perienced person it is well to take the milk of a cow known to be not in calf and compare the results.—H. L. NOTLS. Barnyard manure is the most effec- tive of all rtiiizer The liquid uid o- a fe a. T1 lq por- tion tion of the manure is the most valu- able. Use sufficient litter in the stables to absorb the liquid. The amount of manure on a farm being in- sufficient, frequent light dressings are advisable instead of larger ones at longer - interrvals. It is not wise to "bury" the manure; a shallow plowing under is more advisable. Manure is worth more when first •voided. Ra- tional farming involves a rotation of crops. Investigation has proven the high manurial value of clover, alfalfa and other legumes. The lesson is: (Grow a leguminous crop in the .rota - don, as all other crops, save the legumes,. leave the soil poorer for their growth. Commercial fertilizers cannot be depended upon profitably to main- tain the soil; hence their exclusive use is discountenanced. By home mixing of fertilizers a saving of 25 to 35 per cent, cart be effected. To meet the fertilizer requirements. of tomatoes, use a fertilizer carrying 4 per- cent. of nitrogen and 3 per cent. of phosphorus, The lack of potash is not going to cause much inconveni- ence. Plenty of humus will help make potash in the soil available. We Want to grow vigorous plant first, then plan to grow fruit. Stable manure is a good source of :nitrogen for tomatoes. It should be well rotted when applied and well incorporated with the soil, or the crop in advance of the tomatoes given a heavy manuring. Tomatoes want a good amount of nitrogen early in the season. The Iowa. Experimental Station has made investigations covering,. three years, to determine the effect of solu- tions of formaldehyde and corrosive sublimate, and also of formaldehyde gm' treatment on the germination of potatoes. The station found that where whole potatoes are treated' with for- maldehyde at the rate of one pint to thirty gallons of water, or corrosive sublimate solution, two ounces to six- teen gallons of water, no harm will result if the tubers are soaked from two to six hours. If tile tubers are • left in the solution for longer periods, or are not spread to dry immediately, the germination of the tubers is con- siderably diminished.

Mathematical Precision Rules Every Process in Its Making. Although wire rope has been used as a mechanical appliance for almost 5,000 years, it Is commonly regarded as a modern invention. During the inany years which have elapsed slime the first records of its use Wire rope has passed from a crude to a highly developed product, and the. purposes for which it is •employed have increase ed a thousandfold. In no other branch of the American steel industry is there so great a demand for material of proved integrity, for it might be safely suggested that wire rope is born to be abused. It is subjected to tremen- dous tousle strains; it must withstand constant bendings, abrasion, corrosion and theeculiar p internal stress pro- duced raduced by vibration. Wire rope as it is made to -day is the product of the metallurgist and the mechanic. Every process, from the smelting ot•the ores, the told drawing of the wire and the heat treatments it receives demon te the stranding or lay- ing up of the cable, is conducted with mathematical precision. The chemist sees that only steel of the proper analysis Is used; the oleo• trio pyrometer insures uniformity of heat; treatment in various testing ma- chines •clearly develops the worth of the product before it is allowed to leave the mill. Wire rope is used in the mine shafts more than a mile hi depth, and may be found on aeroplanes whiclt sail a mile or more above the ground. ---'.Technical World.

In Most European Lands itis Dear and Used Sparingly, Along many art of the Brittany coast whore the laud is low you inay see the sea salt industry being carried on on a large scale. In the United States salt is cheaply produced at inland points by ovaporatiou from salt water pumped from deep wells, but in most of the countries of Europe the bulk of the salt which le consumed is made by the evaporation of eea water. Sea salt is not so pure as salt which is produced from wells, as it contains a percentage of state of inagnesiam, potassium and lime, with traces c,f iodine and other elements, in addition to the sodium chloride, which is the desired substance, But it answers the purpose about as well. The sea water is let into great shal- low basins or ponds at high tide, the flow being controlled by gates, The sun, which shines very powerfully on the south Breton coast, gradually evaporates the water, and the -brine becomes constantly stronger. More water is let in from time to time, uatil a certain point of saturation is reach- ed, and then the water is allowed to dry up, and the salt is left behind as a thin crust or coating on the bottom of the ponds. The salt is then gathered by means of rakes and scoops. In this form, of course, it is very impure, for in taking it up a large amount of dirt is taken up with it. It is plied up, and in due course the action of the rain and weather serves to filter out most of the dirt, and the salt i, left in fairly pure condition. As you go along through the salt districts yeti will see hundreds of'these white piles of salt, containing perhai-.s a ton or so each. The crude salt lc finally taken to mills, where it is put through refining processes and made ready for market. Sale brings high prices in most Eu- ropean countries. it is such a luxury that the people have to be sparing of it. You might wonder why this is when Europe has such a huge coast line and all that is necessary is to let the sea water evaporate under Ilia influence of Old Sol to produce all the salt any one could want,. •l3ut..lt.ere, ie,,it:lxere •the la* steps in. The Government aseunles that the sea is its property, and it- will not allow ordinary citizens to Make salt from it or in fact matte any other private use of it without a license. Poor fishermen in 'Turkey were put in prison because they bolted sea water and made their own salt, This illicit malting of salt was against the law, just as the making of spirituous liquor without a proper license from the Governinent is against the law in this country. aro The Heat of Australia.

When a Couple of Natives Pass the Time of Day in Japan. I had always heard that there was lots of politeness in Japan, but I had hardly expected to find that it often blocked traffic, When two Japanese meet on the narrow streets you've got to wait until the ceremony is over or go .around. On meeting they do not shake elands and have it over with, as W3 do back home, but begin bowing anti each asking the other the latest news from his worshipful ancestors. It `would be an open insult—smack in the face—for one Japanese to sleet another without asking him how his ancestors fared. Their ancestors are always an open subject for discussion. A Jap is never too bury to engage in conversation about his dear, departed forbears, The weather can look out for itself. Tho gripping topic is how some of the ancestors are getting hong who passed to their reward a couple of hundred years ago. Wlien two Japanese meet they stop squarely in the middle of the street and begin bowing. Their bow Is not just a twitch of the head. Instead of Mat, it begins at the waist, sweeping over the entire upper part of the bod,', even to the outlying hands, bending the figure over until it looks like a great inverted V teetering for a mo- ment on one prong, There are traces of the colonial in their bow, with a pronounced military strain running through tt, When they are doubled over one of .them: says to the other, "Oh, honored sir, to what do I owe my great good fortune that I have the pleasure of meeting such an esteemed man this day?" The other man, with his head town, conies quickly back with: "You do me a great honor with Fuch words, and. T only wish that I were, worthy of them. May I crave your indulgence while I ask how your stomach fiuds itself this morning?" The first concern, on one Japanese on meeting another is to know 1i W the other's stomach fares, and after this momentous question is settled they pass on to their ancestors, who while the conversation is on the stomach have to take a back scat. o.o The Vampire Bat. The true vampire bat is a quite in' significant creature, not unlike our noctulo bat in general appearance and Sizer but with a small "nose leaf" and no web between the hind legs. The really remarkable thing about It is its perfect adaptation for secret and painless bloodletting. Most • bats have teeth very like tkuse of the carnivore, with long canines and small incisors, but in the true blood- sucking vampire bat the incisors are very large and broad and exceedingly sharp edged, thus being able to in- flict - a aiming surface cut which causes no pain, but a great deal of bleeding.
