During the electric storm on Sun- day morning, October 22, about fit e o'clock, the barn belonging to Mr. Allan McAuley, of the 5th Concession, Huron township, about three from Ripley, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The etockin the barn, two horses, a calf and some pigs, was removed in time but there was about forty tons of hay and all the season's grain burned. The new separator belonging to John Bell was put in barn on Saturday afternoon for threshing on Monday and it was com- pletely destroyed with the contents of the barn, The cutting hos was taken out of danger. Mr. Bell lost a new separator just a year ago in the same manner and with this new misfortune he is a very heavy loser also.

NEWCOiif.hiJI 014 Cuatom of Allowing Stock to Rustle it; ylying, Every newcomer is on the lookout for cheap fodder for what horses and oxen or other livestock he has about his, pisco. The cld-time custom of allowing the stock to rustle is dying a natural death. The better the feed the better the condition of the ani- mals, and consequently the greater their Value ,and the more satisfaction in handling them. Comfort and good feed are essentials to successful stock - raising, and the sooner the man gets the habit o! looking after his stook properly t he earlier will ho, find profit and pleasure in stock -raising. Hay supply does not cost much in new districts. The homesteier for some years has abundance on his own land, He also can get it on adjoining areas at a nominal cost. On the man's ability to select, largely de- pends the real value of the fodder lee provides. Too many are satisfied with the coarse, wiry grass, common to sloughs 1n some parts. There are, however, few seasons that good grass does not grow to provide a fair sup- ply for all settlers of the newer dis- tricts. But the practice o! years gone by has been to neglect the growing of cultivated grasses too long. Too many farmers prefer to feed the coarse sedge of the sloughs to their stack and impoverish the land by continuous cropping of grains. The experience of pioneers has been that it pays to seed down to timothy, or rye grass, or clovers, Of recent years, 'alfalfa has come into prominence. In short, every settler should afteroa very few years grow good grass or clover fodder on his own place. it will pay indirectly, if not directly. A UNIQUE SCARECROW Hawks and crows so destructive in the Olken yard and corn fields, are nb longer troublesome on the farm of Mr. W. J. Telford of Peterboro coun- try. A scarecrow with movable arms devised by Mr. Telford has proved moat effectual. in frightening away these pests. The material used con - sits of two pieces of 2 x 4 scantling feet long; a six Inch plank, three feet long; a six inch- plang, three feet long; two cross pieces 18 inches long; a broom handle, and two pieces of light wood 2% feet long, to which are attached shingles which act in the same manner as the fans of a windmill and keep the arms rotating. An old suit of clothes and a hat make the figure look very life -like. 'Why Cows Lose Their Calves Abortion is caused by kicks, blows, slips, falls, compression, over-exer- tion. frights, foul odors, food of poor quality or containing ergot, exposure to cold, etc. There are many acci- dents that may cause abortion, and it is usually not known that an accident has occurred. There is a form of infection abor- tion caused by a specific germ, but it is not probable that this is the form that this cow suffered from. If it is, other cows in the herd will also abort, and it will be a very serious matter and entail a long course of treatment. As it is very probable that this was a case of accidental abortion, it will be reasonably safe to breed her again. GREATER KNOWLEDGE NEEDED Horse Breeders Need Discrimination We need to exercise common sense steadily in the breeding and handling of horses. We uecd here to know the best methods of feeding and care. The fact that an animal is imported may not mean very much, if anything, in its favor. Many of those imported are of but little account. They were bought because they did not cost much. It appears that the time has passed when the mere fact of im- portation should sell a horse or com- mend him to patronage. Defects are quite as likely to be transmitted as good qualities, and breeders must learn to discriminate closely if they would breed successfully any class of horses. Striped Cueumber Beetle and the True Squash Bug Tho first of these, a biting insect, and the second, a sucking insect, at- tack melons, cucumbers and squashes; and they are often confounded, both being called "squash -bugs." This is unfortunate, because they call for radically different treatment: - We would suggest planting an ex- cess of seed; for the first named in- sect, dusting plants With one pound of Paris green mixed with 50 pounds of lime or cheap flour. The beetle can be to a certain extent driven away by air -slaked lime alone, dusting it liberally ole or about the plants in each hill. For the trite squash -bug we would recommend hand-piciting of bugs in the early morning, also hand-picking of the yellow eggs. Destroy all vines after harvesting crop. Plants can be kept covered with light frames of cheese -Cloth while small. Salting Cows. it hat been noted that an experi- ment was carried on at the Wisconsin station as to the effects of salt and lack of Salt on cows. Salt was kept away from some cows for long time —a number of months --- and a con- dition of low vitality ensued which, when continued at sone length, re- sulted in a general breakdown. When salt Was again supplied them, they recovered at once. It was observed that the time of breaking down Came about the time of calving, and the best cows Showed this tendency most. And so these tants show the value of regular salting of milk cotes, which should not be niglected. f9RM AVS FIELD Ja0000o00000000000000000Ccr aciATIA3i LLF, Ara. sAmsrAcToltir Eminently Suitable for English Soil The Journal of the Royal Agricul- tural Society of England for 1010 eon-. tains the final report of an interesting experiment conducted at the Woburn Experiment Station in the testing of varieties of lucerne, grown from seed of French (Provence), American and Canadian origins. The test was begun in 1005, and in 1910, the fifth and final year, the re- port says "the plots were •all dug up in preparation for a more extended experiment with lueerno, the Provence and .American varieties having, to all purpose, come to an end, though the Canadian variety would have con- tinued to yield a, crop for some years more:" In every year, the yield of the Canadian variety was markedly higher than that of either of the others, the excess over its nearest HON. A. i fcNAl3, Member of Saskatchewan Government and prominent miller and grain merchant. competitor, the American, being 5 tons 10 cwt. in 1909, and 7. tons 6 cwt. in 1910. These varieties from the Argentine were also tested in 1908 and 1909 but failed completely, being attacked by a fungus from which the earlier- cown plots were free The luxuriant growth of the Canadian sort kept down the weeds effectively, while the Iighter yield on the other plots re- sulted in their, being overrun with them. The name of the Canadian seed originally used in this experi- ment is not known, but the test is being renewed this, year with Cana- dian seed of known origin, in com- parison with varieties obtained from Turkestan, Provence and other coun- tries. UNEXCELLED LAND RENOVATOR Sweet Clover is Excellent As it soil renovator sweet clover is fully equal if not superior to any of the other legumes. Especially is this true when the tops as well as the stubble and roots aro plowed under as green manure. In an Illinois in- vestigation it was found that an acre of thrifty sweet clover contained in the tops, stubble and roots, 228 pounds of nitrogen, which is more than double the amount found by the Delaware station in an acre of alfalfa or red clover. Ox account of its rank growth, sweet clover adds a great amount of humus, the Illinois station finding that a good acre of sweet stover yielded 6.4 tons of dry matter, which would furnish as much humus form- ing 'material as would twenty-five tons of farm manure. And sweet clover will grow anywhere. Intelligente Collie. Sorely one of tho hardest tests of a sheep dog is to be put in charge of a pig. That is what happened to Rasp, a famous Midlothian collie. The owner found an his return home one day that the pig had escaped, and sent the dog to fetch it. "So off went Rasp in quest of what proved one of the most stubborn of the mem- bers 9f the bucolic family she ever encountered. Having been absent about twenty-five minutes, she at last appeared. with a few sheep in front of her. But in the center of the sheep was the pig;'•experience having taught her that the little rebel could not be driven alone." DAIRYMEN S1if'ULD HAVE DEFINITE ATM. Herds, as a whole, should be culled to a . definite standard of excellen e. The standard trust vary according to such conditions as market prices of animals and products, availability of better stock, etc.; but; generally speaking, a standard of 0,000 pounds of milk and 300 pounds fat per year for Jerseys and Guernseys, 9,000 pounds of milk, and 300 pounds fat for Holsteins, should be the aim of dairymen at first. When these re- cords are reached, the standard may bo raised, 'What a Cow Produces A cow must produce about 4,000 lbs. of milk and 160 lbs. of butter fat to pay for leer feed and labor; this is the dead lino. 5,000 lbs. of mills, $10 profit: 8,000 lbs, of milk, $40 pro- fit four times as much. Ten cows averaging 8,000 lbs, of milk are as profitable as 40 cows producing 5,000 Iba. The cost of keep increases but $35 a cow, from 2,000 to 10,000 lbs. of Milk given, yet the income in- creases $115, over three rimae as tepidly. Prof. W. J.

The etockin the barn, two horses, a calf and some pigs, was removed in time but there was about forty tons of hay and all the season's grain burned. The new separator belonging to John Bell was put in barn on Saturday afternoon for threshing on Monday and it was com- pletely destroyed with the contents of the barn, The cutting hos was taken out of danger. Mr. Bell lost a new separator just a year ago in the same manner and with this new misfortune he is a very heavy loser also.

NEWCOiif.hiJI 014 Cuatom of Allowing Stock to Rustle it; ylying, Every newcomer is on the lookout for cheap fodder for what horses and oxen or other livestock he has about his, pisco. The cld-time custom of allowing the stock to rustle is dying a natural death. The better the feed the better the condition of the ani- mals, and consequently the greater their Value ,and the more satisfaction in handling them. Comfort and good feed are essentials to successful stock - raising, and the sooner the man gets the habit o! looking after his stook properly t he earlier will ho, find profit and pleasure in stock -raising. Hay supply does not cost much in new districts. The homesteier for some years has abundance on his own land, He also can get it on adjoining areas at a nominal cost. On the man's ability to select, largely de- pends the real value of the fodder lee provides. Too many are satisfied with the coarse, wiry grass, common to sloughs 1n some parts. There are, however, few seasons that good grass does not grow to provide a fair sup- ply for all settlers of the newer dis- tricts. But the practice o! years gone by has been to neglect the growing of cultivated grasses too long. Too many farmers prefer to feed the coarse sedge of the sloughs to their stack and impoverish the land by continuous cropping of grains. The experience of pioneers has been that it pays to seed down to timothy, or rye grass, or clovers, Of recent years, 'alfalfa has come into prominence. In short, every settler should afteroa very few years grow good grass or clover fodder on his own place. it will pay indirectly, if not directly. A UNIQUE SCARECROW Hawks and crows so destructive in the Olken yard and corn fields, are nb longer troublesome on the farm of Mr. W. J. Telford of Peterboro coun- try. A scarecrow with movable arms devised by Mr. Telford has proved moat effectual. in frightening away these pests. The material used con - sits of two pieces of 2 x 4 scantling feet long; a six Inch plank, three feet long; a six inch- plang, three feet long; two cross pieces 18 inches long; a broom handle, and two pieces of light wood 2% feet long, to which are attached shingles which act in the same manner as the fans of a windmill and keep the arms rotating. An old suit of clothes and a hat make the figure look very life -like. 'Why Cows Lose Their Calves Abortion is caused by kicks, blows, slips, falls, compression, over-exer- tion. frights, foul odors, food of poor quality or containing ergot, exposure to cold, etc. There are many acci- dents that may cause abortion, and it is usually not known that an accident has occurred. There is a form of infection abor- tion caused by a specific germ, but it is not probable that this is the form that this cow suffered from. If it is, other cows in the herd will also abort, and it will be a very serious matter and entail a long course of treatment. As it is very probable that this was a case of accidental abortion, it will be reasonably safe to breed her again. GREATER KNOWLEDGE NEEDED Horse Breeders Need Discrimination We need to exercise common sense steadily in the breeding and handling of horses. We uecd here to know the best methods of feeding and care. The fact that an animal is imported may not mean very much, if anything, in its favor. Many of those imported are of but little account. They were bought because they did not cost much. It appears that the time has passed when the mere fact of im- portation should sell a horse or com- mend him to patronage. Defects are quite as likely to be transmitted as good qualities, and breeders must learn to discriminate closely if they would breed successfully any class of horses. Striped Cueumber Beetle and the True Squash Bug Tho first of these, a biting insect, and the second, a sucking insect, at- tack melons, cucumbers and squashes; and they are often confounded, both being called "squash -bugs." This is unfortunate, because they call for radically different treatment: - We would suggest planting an ex- cess of seed; for the first named in- sect, dusting plants With one pound of Paris green mixed with 50 pounds of lime or cheap flour. The beetle can be to a certain extent driven away by air -slaked lime alone, dusting it liberally ole or about the plants in each hill. For the trite squash -bug we would recommend hand-piciting of bugs in the early morning, also hand-picking of the yellow eggs. Destroy all vines after harvesting crop. Plants can be kept covered with light frames of cheese -Cloth while small. Salting Cows. it hat been noted that an experi- ment was carried on at the Wisconsin station as to the effects of salt and lack of Salt on cows. Salt was kept away from some cows for long time —a number of months --- and a con- dition of low vitality ensued which, when continued at sone length, re- sulted in a general breakdown. When salt Was again supplied them, they recovered at once. It was observed that the time of breaking down Came about the time of calving, and the best cows Showed this tendency most. And so these tants show the value of regular salting of milk cotes, which should not be niglected. f9RM AVS FIELD Ja0000o00000000000000000Ccr aciATIA3i LLF, Ara. sAmsrAcToltir Eminently Suitable for English Soil The Journal of the Royal Agricul- tural Society of England for 1010 eon-. tains the final report of an interesting experiment conducted at the Woburn Experiment Station in the testing of varieties of lucerne, grown from seed of French (Provence), American and Canadian origins. The test was begun in 1005, and in 1910, the fifth and final year, the re- port says "the plots were •all dug up in preparation for a more extended experiment with lueerno, the Provence and .American varieties having, to all purpose, come to an end, though the Canadian variety would have con- tinued to yield a, crop for some years more:" In every year, the yield of the Canadian variety was markedly higher than that of either of the others, the excess over its nearest HON.

These varieties from the Argentine were also tested in 1908 and 1909 but failed completely, being attacked by a fungus from which the earlier- cown plots were free The luxuriant growth of the Canadian sort kept down the weeds effectively, while the Iighter yield on the other plots re- sulted in their, being overrun with them. The name of the Canadian seed originally used in this experi- ment is not known, but the test is being renewed this, year with Cana- dian seed of known origin, in com- parison with varieties obtained from Turkestan, Provence and other coun- tries. UNEXCELLED LAND RENOVATOR Sweet Clover is Excellent As it soil renovator sweet clover is fully equal if not superior to any of the other legumes. Especially is this true when the tops as well as the stubble and roots aro plowed under as green manure. In an Illinois in- vestigation it was found that an acre of thrifty sweet clover contained in the tops, stubble and roots, 228 pounds of nitrogen, which is more than double the amount found by the Delaware station in an acre of alfalfa or red clover. Ox account of its rank growth, sweet clover adds a great amount of humus, the Illinois station finding that a good acre of sweet stover yielded 6.4 tons of dry matter, which would furnish as much humus form- ing 'material as would twenty-five tons of farm manure. And sweet clover will grow anywhere. Intelligente Collie. Sorely one of tho hardest tests of a sheep dog is to be put in charge of a pig. That is what happened to Rasp, a famous Midlothian collie. The owner found an his return home one day that the pig had escaped, and sent the dog to fetch it. "So off went Rasp in quest of what proved one of the most stubborn of the mem- bers 9f the bucolic family she ever encountered. Having been absent about twenty-five minutes, she at last appeared. with a few sheep in front of her. But in the center of the sheep was the pig;'•experience having taught her that the little rebel could not be driven alone." DAIRYMEN S1if'ULD HAVE DEFINITE ATM. Herds, as a whole, should be culled to a . definite standard of excellen e. The standard trust vary according to such conditions as market prices of animals and products, availability of better stock, etc.; but; generally speaking, a standard of 0,000 pounds of milk and 300 pounds fat per year for Jerseys and Guernseys, 9,000 pounds of milk, and 300 pounds fat for Holsteins, should be the aim of dairymen at first. When these re- cords are reached, the standard may bo raised, 'What a Cow Produces A cow must produce about 4,000 lbs. of milk and 160 lbs. of butter fat to pay for leer feed and labor; this is the dead lino. 5,000 lbs. of mills, $10 profit: 8,000 lbs, of milk, $40 pro- fit four times as much. Ten cows averaging 8,000 lbs, of milk are as profitable as 40 cows producing 5,000 Iba. The cost of keep increases but $35 a cow, from 2,000 to 10,000 lbs. of Milk given, yet the income in- creases $115, over three rimae as tepidly. Prof. W. J.
