The Editor of the Scottish Farmer
says; "An extensive buyer of brewers
dray horses has said that, in hie exper-
ience, for such work, two Clydesdales
are worth three Shires, The Clydes-
dales last longer on the streets:, and they
sell at much hither salvage prices to
farmers when their days of active labor
on the streets are over. Such facts do
not remove the necessity for judges pay-
ing attention to points in whi. h there is
room for improvement in the Clydes-
dale breed. The show Clydesdale should
be trained to walk; judges should cease
giving the highest honors to short -ribbed,
tall horses. Such animals never can be
satisfactory workers. Let not judges
ruin a breed for a fancy, Keep the lorry
in view."

The Poultry business is gaining a place
in the 'front rank, and farmers are
beginning to see that the more attention
they give the poultry branch of the farm
work, the better it pays, and with eggs at
thirty cents a doz, no hen should be allow-
ed to live if she refuses to lay eggs and
hatch chickens, Before you kill or sell
the young 'hens that are not paying for
their keep, be sure you have given them a
good chance, then if proper housing and
feed does not induce her to lay, get rid of
her at once. We are expecting. a man
from the Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
with us on Fair Day, who will be glad to
discuss these points with you.
There has been so much disappoint-
ment in hatching with the hen that great
many poultry raisers have tried the incub-
ator. Some have been very successful,
while others not understanding the work-
ing of the machines, do not obtain very
good results, To help get over any
troubles that may still exist, one of the
Representatives of the Prairie State In•
cubator, will be in our booth and will have
a machine in operation to demonstrate the
workings of their machine,

without. having been properly fed, and no
one can do it as cheaply as the farmer.

to America and was noted in last year's
crop in the northwest. It is markedly
like the well known stem rust that has
been cutting into wheat growers' profits
with a'great deal of regularity recent-
ly. That it has been pretty widely
scattered may be guessed from the
fact that thousands of car lots of wheat
from Montana and the Pacific north-
west were shipped to midwestern
points during the fall and early win-
ter. Where such wheat has been

Don't allow the rural Fall Fair to de-

Killing Colorado Beetles.
Sprayiug potato tinea for the puss
pose of killing Colorado beetles should
be doue as soon as the work of the in
sects is noticed, :::sects George A
Dean, professor of cutoluology in the
Kansas State Agrirniteral college.
"This destructive insect is not hard
to control," says Professor Dean. "One
part paris green mired with twenty to
thirty parts of air slaked lime or flour
and used as a dust spray nffords the
best results ou young plants. It should
be used when the dew is on by means
of powder guns or dust spray ma.
chines.
"The paris green spray, prepared by
tnixing one pound of paris green with
75 to 125 gallons of water and the ad-
dition of a pound of quicklime to the
mixture, makes an effective spray.
This spray will burn vines if the quick-
lime is omitted.
"For the proper mixing and applica-
tion of this spray a bucket pump or
knapsack sprayer of good quality is
sufficient for use in small gardens, but
on a large scale a potato sprayer to be
drawn by horses through the rows of
plants is necessary.
"Arsenate of lead serves the same
purpose as the paras green, a pound
combined with fifteen or twenty gal -
Ions of water being more adhesive. It
sticks more firmly to the leafage and
is much less likely to produce scorch-
ing than the parts green spray. Clean-
ing up the vines and plowing potato
land in the fall, after the crop has
been harvested, will aid in reducing
the number of hibernating beetles."

Winning Friends by Telephone
HAVE never met that young man face to face," said a business
man recently, as he hung up his receiver after a telephone con-
versation; "but the way he talks over the telephone is typical of
the whole organization of that hnttsc. They always answer every
question in a polite and courteous 'manlier. They never keep you
waiting unnecessarily. They all seem to take a personal interest in
what you have to say, and you can be sure that your telephone
requests will have the most carcful_attcntion."
Isn't such an endorsement of your house by those who deal with you
by telephone a valuable;business asset?
It is well worth while to make sure every employee in your
organization appreciates the value to himself and to your house of
telephone courtesy.
"It's a pleasure
to deal with
that house
by Telephone"
