There is such a rush of work in the spring that it is desirable to do any planting in the fall that can be done, with a reasonable chance of success, in order to relieve the pressure in the spring. Further, there are some plants which are more likely to succeed if planted in the fall. The spring is, how-e'Ver, the best time to plant trees which are above the snowline all winter and exposed to drying winds. They do not usually become sufficiently established before winter sets in" for them to take up moisture, the result being that a dry- ing out of the trunk begins, and by spring the trunk has become so dry that growth is prevented except from the lower part which is not a satis- factory condition sometimes; also, trees planted in the fall are heaved up to some extent and are then not in" the ground:deep enough; „and they do not do well afterwards, even suppos- ing they lives In the mildest parts of Canada, such as in the coast climate of British Columbia, trees can be planted successfully in the fall, and in some seasons they, can be planted quite satisfactorily in other parts of Canada in the fall, but, taldng one year with another, it is safer to plant in spring. In the case of bush fruits, such as currants and gooseberries, which be- gin growth early in the spring, it is much better to plant them in the fall. IS they can be obtained during the lat- ter part of September that would be the hest time to plant. Raspberries may be planted with about equal success in fall or spring, but the advantage of fall planting is that, should any of the plants die, they can be replaced in good time in the spring, so saving a season; where- as if the main planting is delayed until spring it will be too late to re- plant that spring when it becomes known which are dead. If strawberries are planted in the fall it should be early in September, SO that they will become well rooted before winter. It would be advisable, however, to use pot plants and plant in August; then one might get some fruit the following spring. But early in the spring is the ideal time to plant strawberries, as the few fruits which are obtainable from fall set plants make planting them hardly worth while. Spring is the proper time to plant ornamental trees and shrubs; al- though, as it will not matter much if the branches of shrubs are killed back at first, should the fall be found more convenient they can be planted quite satisfactorily then. There would be the same objection to plaiting mental trees in the fall as with fruit HAD A WEAK HEART FOR TfltIEE IfEhRS 0 VERY NERVOUS Miss ,feeeie Peterson, Zealeedia, Seek.,writee;-"I wish to let you know • . ow muei nod Milburn's ilenrt and e Nerve Pine flave done for me, ' For nearly three years I was very bad- ly run down, had a weak heart, and was so nervous Seat sometimes .1 would al - meet faint away, I heard of many Seople who had re- . cernicemied your fleart and Nerve Mlle, I so 1 deeided to give them a trial After , I had used two boxes I found (hey had done me, good, and niter having taken ; five boxes 1 wafi `•OrDpletely relieved. ; cen not reeommend your Pills etough, arid' 1 wOuld advise anymie having a, NIttati.7 heitr t Or troubled with it (it'V011Sn CiS3 to Witt them" • • IVIllbern'e H :S• N., Pills are 50e. a box. at all deellere, or mailed direct on receipt, of price by The T.

The prevail ng low pikes of dairy produets make it imperative that the dairy farmer dispose of his produce in such o. manner that the maximum re, turn will be ,forthcoming. Although the cest of milk production has ma- terially decreased within the last tvvo years, the market for whole milk, which has also decreased, is still in- capable of absorbing this milk at a figure thet will net the producer a reasonable profit, more particularly when the millc, in order to reach its market, nest be shipped considerable distances. The dairy farmer who is so located where he can cater to a city's whole milk trade is in a better position to solve the difficulty than one at a con- siderable distance from such a market. Under thelatter circumstances, cream can be more profitably disposed of than whole milk. On the other hand, separated or skim -milk has a very high feeding value for live stock, par- ticularly for the feeding of hogs, and ' can be used very profitably for this purpose. It is frequently stated that .approxi- mately 5 pounds of meal are required to produce a pound of pork with hogs finishing about 220 pounds in weight. For hogs finishing at -180 pounds, the meal required should not exceed 4% pounds, while hogs around 150 pounds should not need more than 4 pounds of meal 'per pound of gain, these figures being averages, when no milk products are fed. It has been found that the feed cost for a ten -weeks -old pig during the last year averaged about $3.08. As- suming that this pig weighs 40 pounds, and in order to reach market wdight it must gain 140 pounds, and also assuming that this hog will con- sume an average of 4.5 pounds of meal per ppund of gain, this meal costing $30 per ton, the hog will then cost $12.53 when 180 pounds in weight. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the addition of skim -milli: to a meal ration reduces the meal consump- tion per pound of gain. An experi- ment recently completed at the Cen- tral Experimental Farm demonstrated that in a ration in which skim -milk and meal were fed„ the feed required to produce a pound of gain averaged 2 pounds of meal and 4.8' pounds of skim -milk, with hogs averaging 125 pun s , ing that without ht1k these"' hogs would have consumed 4 pounds of meal for eetcli pound of gain, it may be concluded '.hAZ the 4:.8 pounds of skim -milk eftfected a saving of w pounds of meal. With skin -I -milk worth 20 cents per hundred and enbal worth $30 per ton, a pound of gam would show a feed cost of $.'90 cents as com- pared with 6 Cents far a etraight meal ration, the milk thus 'effecting a- SAY- ing of $2,04 per hundred of pork. Another teat conducted for a Period of 90 days with 17 Yorkshire hogs, which averaged 170 pounds live weight at the end of the test, showed an average Meal consumption of 2.5 pounds and a milk consmnption of 4,87 pounds per pound of, gain. Comparing these feeds on the same cost basis;eit is found that these gains would cost 4.72 cents per pound of -gain as com- pared with 6,75 cents for a straight meal ration. The hogs on this test were about three months of age when placed on the test, while in the former test the 'hogs were fully a month younger. A further test with Berkshire hogs (5) fed from weaning to the tirne they attained 175 pounds in weight -a per- iod of 153 days -showed an average feed constenption of 1.6 pounds of meal and 5.4 pounds of milk per pound of gain, this ration costing 3.5 cents per pound of gain, which is exception- ally low. It may be deduced from these tests that milk products lower meal con- sumption- that when fed to bacon type hogs, milk products ensure a select finished product, other things being equal, and that, particularly for young pigs, milk products are in- valuable. While these tests are valuable'es an indication of what can be done with skim -milk and milk products in the production of bacon, the sure criterion of profit lies in the ability of the sow to farrow and raise a large number of pigs to six or eight weeks of age. The utilization of dairy products for such a purpose would seem to offer a practical solution for the marketing of these products as well as deflecting the whole Milk into another channel, and thereby permitting of further de- velopment cif the dairyindustry with- aut fear of the Markets bedoming con- gested and resulting in a still further drop in prices. trees. Conifer S should not be plantedl in the fall. Roses may be planted quite succees- fully in the fall, but, considering the fact that so many rosebushes are kill- ed outright each winter, especially in Eastern Canada, it seems scarcely worth while to buy plants and then to take this risk of losing them. It is important, however, to have rose plants on hand to set out at the first 'opportnnity in spring, in order that they might be well established before hot weather. The fall is the best time to plant most herbaceous perennials, and the earlier these can be set out after the soil is likely to remain moist, the stronger plants they will make and the greater display of bloom there should be from them the following season. The paeony should be planted in September if possible. Getting Rid of the Loafing Hen. I3Y C. S. PLATT. In every flock, regardless of the age of the birds, there are some each year that quit laying during the summer, and will not begin until late the next winter. These hens can never make up the loss completely, and the good man- ager weeds them met as soon as they become unprofitable. Several years ago I attended a poul- try demonstration on culling. That evening I piked over my eighty-six hens and took out twenty-six that I thought were through laying for the season. This was in the latter part of August. Inasmuch as I was a little skeptical, I placed these twenty-six birds in another coop and kept them for a month longer. I got more eggs by citing -During August I had received sixty-one dozen • AND NOT HAVE profit to the simple fact that I had not been feeding loafers. In order to get the best results from culling, start about July 1. At that time all hens that are molting, and all that show yellow legs (the latter ap- plies more to the Leghorns than it does to American breeds. -Editor) should be carefully picked out and ex- amined to see whether or not they are laying. How to pick out loafers -To deter- mine this, note the distance between the pelvic bones and the condition of the vent. The pelvic bones lie on each side of the vent, and a hen in high production •naturally spreads these apart. The best means of measuring the distance is by using the fingers. If two or more fingers can be placed side by side between these bones thel i bird is probably still, laying. if in doubt, examine the vent, The, vent of a laying bird is large, white and, moist, while that of a non -layer is yel- low, small, dry and wrinkled. In all culling work the age of the, bird should not be considered. Any bird that is layingein November can be profitably kept over the winter, re- gardless of her age. One should have very little trouble in judging his flock on the above- mentioned points. All non -layers should be sold immediately, and if this culling is done once a month, from, July 1 to October 1, the poor birds will be practically weeded out. The re- maining birds will be profitable birds for anather year. susVso.f 8N-1a0z.aWreltiho..aritt thou s J. e.su/sawinhod-see- moreover that he enjoyed the privi- - Mies Ireee A.
