Alberta, three 'men treated sixty
steers in half a tiley, the nest; per steer
being only 6 cents. So that the test

figured at from 15 to 18 centper

operation, but in two or three weeks

indeed, •at 'Charlottetown, a fortnight
after treatment, twenty steers had
each gained an average of 47 pounds.
At Nappara M.S., at the end% of three
weeks, 24 •eteers Showed an average
gain of 41 pounds. At Indian Head:,
Saskatchewan, a lot of h-orned and tied
steers gave a gain of 770))011nds, de -
horned and tied steers a gain of 895
pounds, and elehorneci and loOse steers
a gain of 910 pounds. At Scott, Sas-
katchewan, thirty-fi-ve steers dehorn-
ed after purohaae averaged a :gain, of
31 pounds for the first month. In the
same time seventeen hornless steers
made an average gain of 59.9 pounds.

The Protection of Roses

rose is, perhaps, the Most
popular flower in Oanada and in other
Cauntries and ma-ny thousands of
plants are set out each year. In Can -

of those planted nevax live after the
,first winter, and while others survive
for a few years, they eventually are
winter -killed. By the planting of the
_-
hardiest varieties, there will be much,
better suncess in many cases than
there is at present where hardiness la -
