Cooking Hog Feed Unprofitable, The advisability of cooking or steaming food for swine was for many years the subject of brush controversy; many of the most successful feeders both in Canada and in the United States held widely different opinions, and differed quite as widely in their practice. During the past recede, however, the process, unless in the : case of potatoes, has fallen very large- i ]y into disuse. It has been pretty conclusively proven that, unless under exceptional circumstances, better re- sults are obtained from a given amount of grain or roots given raw than from . a similar amount after it has been I cooked. It was formerly believed, and is, Various methods are advocated for their eradication, but one of the very best is the fallow and fall rye method practised and recommended by one of the oldest and most successful farmers • of the Northwest. The infested field should be plough- ed deeply (seven or eight inches if 1 possible) as soon as spring seeding is over, and each day's ploughing har- rowed as ploughed. As each'crop of oats appears it should be cultivated or disced up to the 10th or lath of Au- gust when the field should be given a final preparation and seeded about Aug. 15th, at the rate of one and one- quarter bushels of fall rye and pack- ed or harrowed after seeding. The oats that germinate with the rye will be winter -killed, and those coming up in the spring will not ripen before the rye is ready to harvest. The better the soil is cultivated and prepared to receive the rye crop the greater will be the number of oats germinated and winter -killed. If necessary this treatment can be repeated. Fail rye is a sure crop, the grain brings a good price, and it is the one erop which will ripen ahead of the wild oats.. -"F.

The farmer snould know whether his soil contains these in suf- ficient quantities to meet the require- ments of a maximum crop providing goad cultivation is given, or if he is not getting satisfactory yields, he should find the cause. No two farms have been treated and cropped in past years in exactly the same way, which -means that even adjoining farms may be entirely different so far as soil re- e quirements are concerned. To bring it up to a state of profitable produc- i tiveness one farm may need a rotation different from the other or a different fertilizing treatment. Bulletins, books, experts and governments help the farmer in many ways, but they cannot be expected to furnish every detail in a manner to fit his every need. The farmer himself should learn what his crops require, learn what his soil contains, learn what is lacking in his soil, learn how to sup- ply the deficiencies, and then he may safely look for increased yields and greater profits. It involves study, but the farmer must work out many of his own problems on his own farm under his awn conditions, by trial, by test, and by experiment. the primary cause of all -,rt.

Jemima Jane said she couldn't help it; her mother was evidently at the last gasp, and if it cost her a thousand places go to her she would. At this, Mrs. Wyndham, abandoning hope, sat down and wept. All this happened at ten o'clock in the morning, a week afterGwendoline's arrival. At eleven, Mrs. Wyndham being in sore need of comfort, and lit- erally at her wits' ends, rises and seeks her friend's chamber, prepared to pour her sorrows into her sympathetic breast.

Rigid economy throughout the world in the consumption of food, in view of the deficient crops and the extraordin- sly requirements by the International Institute of Agriculture, which bas made the most extensive report it has issued since the war begin. The in- stitute says all nations are confronted with a grave situation. It is estimated that at least 2,300,- 000,000 bushels of wheat will be con- sumed in the year ending July 31, 1917, and that the end of this period the world's surplus supplies of wheat will have decrease to 96,000,000 bushels. The report says it is only on account of the fact that last year's harvest was abundant, leaving a bal- ance of 350,000,000 bushels, that there is available sufficient wheat for the year ending with next July. The world's surplus of five cereals— wheat rye, barley, oats, and corn— is placed at x33,000,000 bushels. This includes the unexportable Russian stocks and also the stocks of Ruma- nia and Bulgara. The surplus of oats is placed at 16 00,000 bushels. A. general scarcity of fodder is expect- ed. The total. Russian shocks of wheat now stored, which if military condi- tions permitted, would be available for export at the next harvest are esti- mated at 300,000 000 bushels. CANADA AS AN EXPORTER. What an American Magazine Has to Say on the Subject. Yankees are inclined to look on the Canadians, with a total population or their country of less than'that ,of New York City, as of comparatively mall consequence in the adjustment f world trade which is expected to ake place after the war. Yet Canada s not blind to her opportunities, nor will she neglect them. • Already there is a great deal of Canadian money invested around the Caribbean Sea and in South America, particularly Southern Brazil and the Argentine. Much of this money has been put into public utiiities, so that the Canadian exporter has some ad- vantage, in many cases considerable, in having been preceded by Canadian interests which, from the very nature of their enterprises, must make a' careful 'analysis of local conditions and needs. In natural resources Canada is as well off as the United States. tabor has been more expensive, but this. con- dition is likely to adjust itself, for la- bor in the United States is advancing in cost constantly, while it is to be ex- pected that immigration to Canada after the war will have a steadying effect on the labor market of that countrady. Cana is particularly well fitted for foreign commerce through having two ports which are the closest Am- erican ports to Europe and Asia— Halifax and Vancouver respectively. Halifax is also nearer to the ports of Wild Oats. The weed problem is one of the most serious confronting Canadian farmers to -day. • Some weeds are troublesome in every province, while others cause most loss where grain farming is ex- clusively practised. Wild oats are a terrible pest in the Prairie Provinces and must be dealt with earnestly in order to keep them under control.

It is connected with the West by the Canadian North-' i ern and Grand Trunk Pacific trans- continental railways, both of which have auxiliary shipping services on the Great Lakes. Each of these rail- Iroads opens up large areas of natural resources, both agricultural and nain- eral, Canadian shipping is in the bands of three strong organisations which can be counted on to co-operate with Canadian manufacturers and export- ers. These are the Allan Line, Cun- ard Line and the Canadian Pacific Railway. They have been gradually Iabsorbing the independent lines until the Canadian Atlantic is fairly evenly divided between them, while the Can- adian Pacific Railway has held the lead on the Pacific for many years. The fact that Canadian shipping fa- cilities are being modernized and con- statrtly enlarged means that the Do- minion will be an important factor in world trade. It means that the mar- kets which the United Staten is look- ing to as the nucleus of future Ameri- can world -commerce may not be scp" easily captured as appearances indi- tate. It means that Canada is right now making plans to become a for- midable competitor, and on nearly equal terms, with the United States, and that the whole energy of British Imperial influence will be exerted to further intercourse between Canada, the West Indies and South America. Canada is a unit in the greatest commercial organization the world has ever seen. Her citizens and her gov- ernment are in a position to benefit quickly from the experience of other members of that organization. To bal- ance this advantage, the United States is better fitted financially than is the Dominion to go after the trade for Which these two will compete. The United States is not lacking in either foresight or ability. It is recognized as the most energetic and persistent of nations. But the exporters of the United States will make a mistake if they think that this country is to have the Western Hemisphere to itself. " The Bush (New York) Maga- zine.
