Should Calves Go Out to Grass or
Remain in the Stable?
Generally speaking, calves are bet-
ter kept in the stable during the
arst summer, except where stable
:onditions are not good, and where
there is not enough labor to look af-
ter tient and keep them dry and
;lean. The only other exception is
is the case of calves dropped in the
Carly winter and which have had
three to six months of milk and more
)r less dry feed, Such calves may
be all right, i1 turned out to grass
is soon as the pasture is good and
the weather warm and pleasant. Par-
tieularly is this the case where milk
tnd other feed is scarce on the farm.
The chief advantages of keeping
:elves in the stable, the fust summer
ire:
1. They can be fed milk and other
'eed as required, which is often neg-
lected when calves run with the cows,
it are pasturing some distance from
:he barn.
2, Calves in a clean, well-ventilat-
:d stable are protected from the hot
tun, storms and flies, which often
prevent that good growth whi h .
essential for a well-nourished thrifty
:alt.
3. If allowed to run with the herd,
:he older aninnais are likely to
`boss" the calves and may injure
;hem, or deprive them of their proper
;hare of feed.
4, Cases of sickness, such as indi-
restion or "scours" are more likely
.o be noticed, and properly treated,
f the calves are inside where they
ire seen frequently,
5. As a result of this better care
tad feed, better cows are more likely
o be reared, which means larger
•eturns to the owners of cows, --Prof.

Planting Potatoes for Seed.
This refers entirely to the produe-
ion of seed potatoes; not those in-
einded for human consumption. The
,rowing of seed potatoes is better
livided into two sections, the early
tau tar late. Foo growing early po-
ata:a of the Irish Cobbler variety
s,.4+,1 should lie selected true to
and free as possible from any
it the various diseases which affect
tt.v potato plant or tuber. These
Would be troth 8 to 12 ounces in
,v.:ight and cut up into pieces 2
xtnces in weight with two eyes to
he piece. They are planted about
.tie 10th of June and are given every
iossible cultivation with the soil in
t state of high fertility; better hav-
ag been clover sod well fertilized
sett barnyard manure to which has
e'en added a considerable quantity
,f commercial fertilizer, about 800
Ls. per acre. Thorough spraying to
:ontrol leaf diseases and the Colorado
3eetle should be given throughout
.he season. For the late seed the
)reen Mountain or Rural New Yorker
s used. The planting is generally
lone about June 1st to June 5th
.trader similar conditions to the for-
nert*aXn all cases it is necessary to
tel'eot'a soil that does not dry out
luring the summer time, as potatoes
or seed should not be subjected to
t check at any time during their
;rowing period.
An abundance of water is absolute -
;y essential for thrift.

Brantford Asphalt Slates
A handsome roof that
defies the weather
An added touch of beauty to any house is a roof of
Brantford Asphalt Slates, which are in soft, harmonious
shades of reddish brown and dark green. The colors
are permanent and unfadeable, being the natural shades
of the slate just as it is taken out of the quarries.
It will also prove a very economical roof, because Brantford
Asphalt Slates do not split, get loose, absorb water or rot. They
are strongly fire-resistant and are classified as non-combustible by the
fire insurance companies, and allowed to be used in cities where the
most rigid fire -prevention By-laws are in force.
Brantford Asphalt Slates are very moderate in cost. Thexegu-
lar size of the slates and their pliability makethem easily and quiekiy
laid, thus saving time and cost of labor. Being made of high grade
felt saturated and coated with asphalt, and with a surface of crushed
slate, they make a roof that defies the elements and is a permanent
part of the building, just like the walls and the foundation.
Brantford
Asphalt Slates
are being used more extensively every year for city, country and
summer homes, churches, golf clubs, stores, garages, and wherever
an artistic effect is desired on a pitch roof.
If you +are going to do any building this year or have an old
roof that needs replacing, it will be to your advantage to investi-
gate Brantford Asphalt Slates.

How Canada Smooths
Rough Roads
THIS new Overland is built
to travel smoothly over
rough roads with a comfort' never
before possible in a light car.
Its Triplex Springs protect the
car from road jolts, preserve
mechanical parts for longer wear
and more—
They remove the strain and
nervous tension from those who
drive this car and those who
ride in it.
Its unusual economy which
results from light weight is as re-.
markable as its riding qualities.
