The country is looked upon as a great agri- cultural producer, but some recent statistics lead to the question: Can Canada feed herself? Canada did not raise enough eggs nor produce enough butter in the ten months ending Jan. 31st to supply her own people. During the period referred to we exported 128,018 dozen eggs, it is true, but at the same time we imported 11,007,345 dozen eggs. We exported $30,461 worth of eggs; we imported $2,327,924 worth. During the same period we exported l36,143 pounds of butter valued at $170,125, and we imported 5,714,540 pounds; for which we paid $1,115,645. During the same ten months we ex- ported $20,000 worth of Indian corn; we imported over $5,000,000 worth. Children .Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAST ®R I A ABSOLUTECenuine. SECURITY.

SPILLMAN, Agriculturist In Charge of Farm Management, Bu- reau ,af u-reau,af Plant Industry, De- partment of Agriculture. THE method of management on a fifteen acre farm that raises all the roughage habe for thirty head of stock, seventeen of which are cows in milk, cannot fail to be of interest to farmers in all parts of the country. The farm in question Is situated in southeastern Penusylvu- nia, near a large city. About thirteen acres are In cultivation, the remaining two acres being occupied by buildings, yard, etc. This farm was purchased in 1851 with a mortgage of $7,200 upon it, For the first year the farm lacked $48of payiug expenses. During the next six years the mortgage was paid. The soil of the farm is a reddish, somewhat gravelly cloy. It wait eo run down in 1881 that it ilia not sup- port the two cows and one horse kept upon it. It has been brought up to its present remarkable state of fertility solely by the use of stable manure ap- plied directly from the barn ns it .was produced. The system of bundling ma- nure is such that not an ounce is lost, either liquid or solid. No comtnercial fertilizers have ever been used, and no manure has been hauled from the city. The crops are ordinarily all fed and are thus largely returned to the ]and in the manure. Of course much valua- ble fertilizer is added to the farm an- MILKIN0yAT THIS MODEL FARM. nuttily from the rich mill products fed the cows. The roughage is all raised on the farm, but all the grain is bought. The owner, a minister with no pre- vious experience in farming, has read whatever agricultural literature has been available. The writer has never seen a farm on which system is more pronounced a feature. A peculiar fea- ture of the inanagement is that each of the principal operations is perform- ed on a fixed day each succeeding year or as near to it as the weather will per- mit. The farm is more nearly inde- pendent of the weather than any other soil the writer has ever seen. The farm is strictly a dairy farm, the only products regularly sold being milk and a few head of young cattle each year. The cows are mainly reg- istered Jerseys, not only pure bred, lint well bred. Scrupulous cleanliness Is observed. One man and a boy do the labor of the farm, except in hay harvest and during the cutting of silage, but these have all they can do. On a farm of this size, with high priced land. pastures are out of tale question, There is not even a barn lot. The thirty head of stock remain in the barn the year round. The writer has never seen a thriftier, better kept herd of cows. They are fed balanced rations every day in the year. Every feed Consists of three parts. A portion of it is some succu- lent material -silage In winter and rye, timothy and clover, corn, peas and oats or some other green crop in sum- mer. A second portion consists of dry hay or fodder. This is used to give the manure proper consistency and adds much to the convenience of car- ing for the Cows. A third portion eon- eists of mill products, of which three hinds aro used -bran, oilmeal and glu- ten. The proportion of concentrates ged depends on the condition of the low and is regulated by the tiow o3 milk and the manure consisteney. The soiling erops used are as fol- lows: Green rye, beginning about May 1 and continuing about four weeks or until the eye is ready to cut for hay; then timothy and clover are fed tell peas and oats are ready. When the latter is cut for hay the silo le opened (abopt July 4), and silage •is fed till early corn (planted May 8) is ready. Enough of this is planted (about one- fourth acre) to last till late torn (plants ed about June 22) le ready. Late cols is then ted till it is time to put it in the silo. From this time forward silage is ted daily till green rye id 'available In the Spring. Into abrup change is ever made. These carefully kept cows are gtveml four suneee o* salt ecu h, [tally, mixed with their feed. 1'be t•:,:ts are fcxl three times a day. and the salt is di sided among the three ((este. line ta. ble salt is invariably used Every parll.•l' of roughage fed on this tarn, inedu,lin;; bay :Ind all soil- ing erops, is int in (milder !mei lengths. Even the bedding is cut thus. There are two rouml silos on the fano, each ten feet in diameter and thirty-four feet high. These together hold about 100 tons of silage, and this quantity qt' cora silage is produced on four neres, 'planted about June 22. Eleven men, three teams mud a traction engine to run the cutter are employed hi Oiling the silos. There le no systematic rotation of crops on this farm. It is not necessary since every foot of land receives an abundauce of manure every year or two. Every green erop growls on the place is utilized for soiling purposes, more or less, the surplus being con- verted into hay or silage. The crops Town are rye,timothy t mothy and clover, corn, peas and oats and millet. At least two crops a year are harvested from most of the fields. The grass crop is a mixture, the seed sown being as follows: Iced clover, six quarts; timothy, five quarte; alsike, two and one-half pounds; redtop, one pound. The farm is divided into twelve small parcels, varying in size from one- fourth acre to two and one-quarter acres. In April, 1903, six of these (five or six acres in all) were iu grass. About half of this was sown the last week in August, 1900, one-fourth in 1901 and one-fourth in 1002. That sown in 1000 was cut once for hay in the spring of 1003 and then plowed for late corn. The crops which pre- ceded these plats of grass were in two cases rye, grown the preceding winter., When this was cut for soiling or for hay the ground was plowed and har- rowed into tine tilth. One and a ball bushels per acre of German millet were then sown. This was cut for hey be- fore it had made seed. The land was plowed again and harrowed into tine tilth. Grass seed was then sown broad- cast late in August. Sowing thus ear- ly, using uo nurse crop, gives a full crop the next year. In fact, because of the farm's fertility, three large crops are cut the next year after sowing grass in August. Two cuttings are made the second year. In the spring of the third season, if the crop prom- ises to be abundant, a crop of hay is taken before breaking up the sod for late corn. If the grass crop is scanty the sod is broken earlieror any crop for which it may be needed. The sod le always heavily top dressed during the winter before it is broken up. Some of the fields are kept in rye in winter and corn in summer indefinitely. Rye is sown broadcast at the rate of two bushels per acre, the seed being covered by a spring tooth harrow. The hay made from this rye is readily eat- en by the stock, but a part of it is used for bedding. Three of the twelve sub- divisions of the farm are thus devoted regularly to rye in winter and late corn ie summer. Oats and peas are some- times sown in early spring on land ;town in rye the previous fall, the rye being turned under in spring. Some. times a piece of corn land is left bare during the winter and sown to oats and peas the next spring. Grass is oc- casionally sown on land from which soiling corn has been cut. One small field was devoted to oats and peas for several years and then put down in grass, to be followed by corn. Oats and peas do not fit very well into the cropping systems followed on any of these small fields. They must be sown in early spring and are off early in July, yet they yield so much nutritious hay or soiling material that a small area is usually grown. The method of handling manure on this farm can be used only on farms on which stock is kept in stalls. Be- hind each row of cows is a gutter eighteen inches wide and seven inches deep. These gutters have no outlets. They are thoroughly cleaned daily. (The whole barn is disinfected twice a week, and the interior is frequently whitewashed.) When cleaned the gut- ters are sprinkled with ashes or dry dirt to absorb what moisture may be present. During the day a quantity of absorbent, consisting of leaf mold, rotten sod. etc., is placed in them. Bach gutter ends near a door. The manure is lifted from the gutter into a cart backed up to the door. The end of the gutter next the door is slightly lower then,the other end. One man lifts the manure with a fork and places it in the lower end of the trench. A second loan then lifts it into the cart. In this manner the liquid ma- nure is all got into the cart. Finally the fragments that remain in the trench nre swept to the lower end and removed. The cart goes immediately to the field, and the manure is spread at once, In sninmer it is spread on the land from which the soiling crops are removed. in winter it is spread On the rye and grass fields, en the lat- ter particularly when the ground is too soft to place it upon the rye fields. No manure is used on newly seeded grass lands, but the second and third year grass fields aro top dressed in winter. Since this account was first present- ed in 1003 merited eeono'mic changes have occurred, which, if this farm were stilt in operation as it was then, would materially effect the profit ob- tained. Most of these changes Telate to the price of ceheentrltted feeding stuffs.

One notices in some of the portraits by earlier painters that the nails of the persons represented, even though the latter be of noble rank, are delicately outlined in black. Pictures of Queen Elizabeth still extant show that she did not bother with any substitute for the yet -to -be -invented nailbrush. There could be no better illustration of the fact that clean hands are a mod- ern inovation. Not only do we admire them for esthetic reasons, but we real- ize that they have an important bear- ing upon health. So acute has this perception become that one of the Chicago meat packers employs in his establishment a profes- sional manicure, whose business it is to keep the hands of the women oper- ators who handle the products put up in tins and glass in proper condition. Everyone of these women is required to submit herself to the manicure at least once a week. Public opinion demands clean hands. The concerns that put up breakfast foods advertise that their goods undergo "no handling," all processes being per- formed by machinery. Some manu- facturers of these and other kinds of foods have regulations posted, positive- ly requiring every person who leaves the working rooms to wash their hands with soap and running water before re- entering. The United States Consul General at Havana says that Cuba last year pur- chased food stuffs in the Unied Sttes to the amount of $16,000,000, and from the rest of the world to the extent of about nineteen and one quarter millions. Canadian flour is, says the Consul General, sold in Cuba to a larger extent than American flour, and the same is trite of potatoes. while Spain sells more onions to Cuba than the United States does, and Mexico more beans An Awful Blow.

(1:y Elbert Hubbard.) I hate drunkc'ness; but I do not hate the drunkard. if any man should have our friendship it is the man who has failed to be a friend to himself. The fact is. the victim of strong drink often has ell the virtues -including high in- telligence and a tender, sympathetic heart, and yet when the demon Drink clutches him, his will is paralyzed, and Satan is in the saddle. A few weeks ago I visited San Quentin prison and talked with a man in the Death Row who has since been hanged. "It was drink -just drink;" he told me. "I•was crazy. I was jealous, and I shot her. Then I phot myself. She died quickly. I recovered to be sent here. Next week I die. She was a beautiful, honest, loving wife to me, but drink had destroyed my reason." I said nothing -.•--what could I say! But I realized that the slow, lingering death of a drunkard's wife is more tragic than the quick taking off by knife or pistol, The worst about strong drink has never been told. It cannot be told - it escapes the limitations of language. But I think we err in dispising the drunkard. Our hearts should go out to him in pity. A part of his hallucination often is that he is not a drunkard, "I can quit any time," he says. But he who says that seldom quits until Death stops his mouth with dust. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." So said Solomon a thousand years before Christ. And the drink problem is upon us to- day, just as terrible, just as tragic, as it was then. In truth the danger of drink to Canadians is more hazardous than to any other people. We have an intensity of of "nerves" beyond that of any other nation that has ever existed. Canadians seem to be singularly sensi- tive to the harm that the use of alcohol- ic drinks inflict. The drink bill of the world is the greatest tax that humanity suffers, But the worst is not in the cost of the stuff originally, but in the loss of pow. or which its use intails. The chief in- centives to indulge in strong drink arise from imperfect nutrition, loss of sleep and lack of exercise in the open air. These things bring about a condition where worry becomes a habit, and drink follows in search for relief. Study your own case and regulate a high de- gree of vitality. Then drink is abhor- rent. Good consecutive work, either mental or physical, and the use of alco- hol is incompatible. I am talking especially to young men -young men who would win their way in the world -and I ask, "Can you af- ford to run the risk of ruin by dallying with this arch enemy that has laid so many low?" We have been led to think that to drink is manly, and to get in a condition where commep sense has fled and the tongue is tangled is funny. But the business world always has drinking men, no matter how gifted, under suspicion. The use of strong drink is neither manly nor amusing, and no one who loves you or is interested in ypur wel- fare would think so. And the truth is, any man who delib- erately turns his glass down and de- clines to drink anything but pure water when the others order "Scotch" will always have the respect of"the others." Not only this but he will have the re- spect of himself Prize your word; prize your health; prize your reason! Hold fast to the resolve, "Touch not, taste not, handle not," and work, and you will be point- ed out as a distinguished person. You. will possess poise and power; responsi- bilities will gravitate to you; wealth will be yours; honor will drift your way; friendship will be your portion and love will illumine your pathway. DR.

THE BABY'S FOOD Some people, even those who ought to know better, `think that whenever baby cries he must be hungry, but as a mat- ter of fact he often cries because he can- not digest his last meal, and therefore to stuff him still further is the last thing anyone of sense would do. A baby should be fed with the utmost regularity to be well, For the first three months food should be given every two hours during the day, and about every four hours during the night, For the following six months he should be fed every three hours in the day time, and twice or thrice during the night, and after each meal in the day as well as in the night, let the baby lie quietly for at least half an hour so that nothing may hindde r the process of diges- tion.
