With good conditions and care the plants should be well developed early in May, and they should then be transferred to a cold frame prepared as for the early sorts. In transferring the plants as much as possible should be saved. Owing to the advanced season, the danger of frost being past, the sashes may be taken off and the plants left to the natural climatic conditions pre- paratory to setting in the field, which may take place early in June. -11 B.

It is stated that immigsants to Canada have been diverted from their original intention to settle there by the tricks of Yankee immigration agents. The following dialogue is represented to have taken place be- tween two Yankee agents, who skip- ped aboard the cars outside Mont- real, and began talking to a batch of emigrants: Agent No. 1.—Davo mind the cold time we had in Saskatchewan? Agent No, 2.—I guess I do. Didn't all our stock get froze to death by the summer frosts? ' Agent No. 1.—Not all, surely. There was thatlittle red caw that we tried to keep alive in the cellar through the whiter. If you remem- ber, she got out somehow, arid was froze solid outside, and 'twasnet till July next that we thawed her out." • Agent No. 2.—Thawed her out? No, sir.

No Ulan $140144 undertake the growing of bogs Lo r prat Withelit a good lion pasture, as this is not only one of the most altby parts of their diet, but one et e moat economical. The breeding sows should, bove this pasture during all of the season taat grass can be had, and alien the winter comes something should be fornislievl that will in a measure take the place of grass. Among the better substitutes we bave found either sugar beets or smell= to be quite satisfactery, Hoge or shoats will eat both with relleb. Tbeee teeds are ouly to be 'used In conjune- tien with graia as it general thing. During the season that tbe sows aro carrying their youtig they should have a slop composed ot ground oats or ants aria corn equal parts ground nue- If the oat hulls are sifted out, so Medi the better. Wheat shorts or middllugs mixed with either or both of the above foods will maim them all tbe better, All should be made late it good rieb slop and in very old weather fed warm, We bave practiced feeding warm feed for many years and can see no reason to change, especially for youug pigs or akoats. For hogs that are being fea for the market this will not be fleas - sate', as the more corn one can get them to eat the last en or DO days tbe better. Corn fed on the ear if fed one, door will be lust as satisfactory as in ground for fatteuing swim, but for breeding soWneetud younger pigs It Is not as geed. First, a, sow during the period of gestation should have a feed that will mo.ke muscle and bone for the pig that Is to come. The same Is necessary for the fall pig or late summer ono that Is being carried over, Sows fed in tbe above manner will produce strong bearty litters and more at a. birth than if fed wholly on a diet of corn. Corn, while producing fat more cheaply than any other feed, will not do for a brood sow. It will bring her to the time of farrowing in it feverish condition, and when the pigs arrive they will be small, weakly and puny. The mother will be Irritable and likely to devour the pigs at the first squeal. But a few sows should be allowed to nest together wben getting on toward farrowing, and when close up to this period they should be separated to two or three in a place—If but one in a place, better still. If the owner has done as he should and knows wben the different sows are due to farrow he Should a day or two prior to this time put the sow in a 'warm dry place by herself and feed her rather lightly, but on the same feed that she bas been having. After the pigs are born the sow should have nothing for 24 bours except a drink of water. This she will need surely. If the litter is large and strong, the feed can be commenced on the second day by giving only a little slop and increasing gradually, until at the end of the first week she can have about all she will eat up clean. Partic- ular notice should be taken that the feed is the same as she has been ha.v- ing, as to cbange feed at tbis tithe will be very likely to produce scours in the youngsters. During the next three months feed the sows all they can eat— that is, of a milk producing character. If one has milk to mix with the ground feed or middlings, he will have an al - moat -perfect feed. As tbe pigs grow and show signs of wanting to eat a place should be pro- vided where they may go by them- selves and drink a little milk or a rich slop, with a little shelled corn to crack. Carried on in this way, together with the pasture, if in sewn, they will at 3 months of age be ready to wean or will then bave practically weaned themselves. Continue the same .feed, adding corn with pasture, and push them along as fast as possible till'they 'are 6 months old, and they will be ready for any market or if pure bred to sell to farmers and breeders. Pigs fed from sows cared for in the above manner should make fully a pound per day till 8 months old and are :very of- ten made Much heavier: A SAP bASE, But Also Pootoeeet Time Was Very Limited.

For several years he was almost a con- stant invalid, the result of an injury to his spine while working with his brothers on the farm. He grew weak and listless, bad no appetite, and for two years was unable to work and was for the most of the time confined to the house, and for a part of the time to his becl. He suffered con- siderably from pains in the back; his legs were weak; and he had frequent headaches. At different times he was attended by two doctors, but got no benefit front the treatment. Then I procured an electric belt for him, but it was simply money wasted as it did not do him a particleof good. One day while my son was reading a newspaper he came across an article telling of a care in a somewhat similar case through the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and he then decided to give them a trial. After the second box was taken there was a marked improvement in his condition. He continued the use of the pills until be had .taken eight boxes, and they have restored hire to health. His appetite has returned; the pain has left his back; he has gained flesh; is able to ride a bicycle, enjoy's life and is able to do a day's work as well as any one of his age. This letter is given gladly so that others may learn the merits of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and find a core if ailing."
