Seventy-five per cent of a highly val- uable fertilizing material in the form of tankage and blood from the country slaughter of food animals is being wasted throughout the country dis- tricts. In additton, $22,000,000 worth of ammonia, from which ammonium sulphate, another valuable fertilizing material, could be made, is annually wasted by the practice of making coke In the beehive type of oven, according to a recent bulletin of the department of agriculture. Tankage, a product of slaughter houses, consisting of such waste mate- rial as bones, horns, hoofs, hair, etc., contains a large percentage of nitrogen and other products used in commercial fertilizer and In the larger packing houses is carefully saved. In country killing, however, only 25 per cent of the tankage and blood is saved for fer- tilizer. The nitrogen content of tank- age is said to vary from 5 to 8 per cent and its phosphoric acid content be- tween 5 and 12 per cent.

All breeds of bogs look good when taken care of, and alt of them will yield good money if rightly handled. Frequent change to fresh pasture is one of the best ways to stimulate the growth of both the grass and the pigs. The mudhole Is not a necessary ed - f unci to the hog pasture. The sanitary wallow that disinfects the hogs is the logical thing. The pig, like every other young ani- mal, loves to be siert and to be mov- ing about with the freedom which be- longs to such a nature. If a hog misses a feed watch hint. If he misses the second feed remove him from the herd and thoroughly dis- infect where he has been. The cows to be milked should have the choice of the best. They will be called upon to provide the cash which will keep the grocer paid up. But milk the cows giving the most milk. Those flaring been milked all summer should he allowed to rough it with the stock cattle. The milk cows should be given the best sleeping quarters that condi- tions will permit. The calves should have good care. Each mother will pro- luee enough skimmilk for her calf, but at the age of three weeks each calf lhoulcl be eating a little grain. ALFALFA SOIL TREATMENT.' How Sour Solis Should Be Inoculated and Prepared, By J. G. HUTTON, Assistant agronomist, State college, South Dakota. In order to grow alfalfa it must be supplied with bacteria of the proper kind. These bacteria form nodules on the alfalfa roots and have the power of taking nitrogen from the air and com- bining it in such a way that plants may use it. Where alfalfa or sweet clover has never grown it may be necessary to supply the bacteria artificially. The easiest way to do this Is to scatter the soil from a well established 111fa1fn field over the land to be seeded. In securing the soil for inoculation purposes the top two inches of soil should be removed and the soil taken Prow the next six inches. The soil should not be allowed to dry in the sunlight or be exposed to it. as the strong sunlight kills the bacteria. Inoculate the field just before seeding, sowing the soil brondcast by hand, and follow iprnlediately with a harrow to prevent injury to the bacteria by the suuliglit. Some 1dnds of drills may also be used for sowing the inoculating SOH. hor inoculation from 200 pounds to 500 pounds of soil per acre are recotn- meudt'd, though snore'may be used if available. There is, of course, a chnnee of get- ting weed pests in the soil used for in- oculating purposes. 1111(1 for this ream soil s1oeld not be used from farms where quad: grass, dodder or other pests are known to exist. Soil should not be used for fields in which the al- falfa is not healthy, as some or the al- falfa diseases may be transmitted to the new fields. The soil in which sweet clover grows may be used for Inoculating purposes just as well as that from alfalfa fields and should be trented as directed for soil from alfalfa fields. Cultures or bacteria for luoculetilg t rt 'r' ,.. , u uses are sold bycertain t, lu ) n t 1 I 1 ct 1 J snits. !'flute the South Dakota experiment station has not investigated the effi- ciency of this method, the receterhen- dat[on of other experiment stations is that it is still in an experimentni stage and should be considered accordingly. "Inoculation with soil front a well es- tablished alfalfa field gave mriformly better results than were secured by the use of liquid cultures." (Nebraska lila• periment Stntionl. Alfalfa will not grew on sour soils, Sour soils luny be sweetened by apply- ing ground limestone. If you ore in doubt as to whether or not your soil is sour fill n pint jar with it and send it to the agronomy department of your state ngriettltural college and itwill tell you if it needs limestone and how much it needs. t :..

At the sound the marsh grasses stir, the dollen ice groans and moves s'owly out I n the current that has mastered it, tbe drab marsh -scope assumes a look of waling lire, The cries of the frantic voyagers grow up closer, more distinct through the lifting dawn, until that speeding wedge stands out against a back- ground of rosy mauve; closer, closer, until the winning whistle of strong wtrs comes towatcher,tbe and be- tween tween the long -drawn noteof the wild birds Ile bears the little mutter- ed calls at assurance from he leader and the lo.,. answers of bis followers. That watchful old gander has pilot- ed his flock many long leagues in search of the big, northern marsh field, and :he floc!. has followed 1111)1 trustingly as all :ay long, nay by cry, be has formed thr pex of that swift - moving triangle as it ape' the track of the sky at the rate of sixty miles or more an hour, IIe has breasted and split the air -currents for them, kept vigilant watch for them, guided them, assured them by low -voiced calls when, weary with the long flight, they have faltered a little in the line, and finally, at close of day, has led them down to sate ;ocd[ng fields, IIe has watched while they fed, standing a little apart from them with grey body erect and long neck stretched high as his sharp eyes prob- ed the reedy grounds in search of danger signs. 1• -Ie has not fed until after they had :ed and settled down with throaty murmurs to' preen their wind -buffeted feathers and rest. Now the long flock are speeding north again. As the mauve in the sky deepens to crimson, the grey leader gives a call that rings far out across the drab world of bog and water. He has sighted the far; stretching shallows that means their long journey done. Now, wild and clamorous, zing out the cries of the birds. as they voice their gladness; the long, double line of wings which move in perfect uni- son fan the air a little quicker as the old leader twists rid drops closer to the black field beneath. Par down, just ^v 'side a clump of rushes, the big gander has sighted some of his own kind atul has heard their answering calls when he sent forth the welcome tidings to his flock. Now be twists closer In towards the rush -clump ,and honks again and the decoy geese below stretch their long necks upward and send him and his an invitation to settle among theca. The big flock is sweeping in now, sweeping closer, closer to the rush hide in which crouches the shooter, hoping and waiting. Three hundred yards from the blind the big birds pitch and come down and in against the light breeze on strong -set wings. Tho shooter braces himself and lifts the heavy goose gun, but he is to take no toll of the birds that have faced dangers to get back to their own. Just outside of the danger zone, the watchful old leader of the flock has scented danger, With a wild honk he twists upward and out, his 'ghtened flock clamoring in his wake. Higher and higher the wild geese aseend until far beneath them the wide expanse of marsh land sweeps like a great plain dotted with shal- low lakes and veined with white water -courses, and just as the sun lifts above the scraggy woode far eastward, the old gander leads his weary, hungry followers down to the big mucklands where there is food and safety. The wild geese have gone north,— A. P. McKiahnie in Canadian Courier. Out of the Mouths of Babes. Mr. W. B. Yeats, when he lectured in Canada a few months a,;o, on "Beauty and the Theatre," invited ids hearers to question hira on any points, arisingout of his enunciation of his views. In Mo•.teea: a question brought from him the following re- marks, which admirably epitomize th't view point of the ultra -modern school of producers, headed by Gor- don Craig, Max Reinhardt and Gran- ville Barker: "You do not want to see two actors declaiming blank verse on a stage representing the turnpike which runs •'as: your door, for no one ever doe:- talk blank verse on a real turnpike, But if you mere- ly suggest a shadowy and illusive road, then you secure the poetic set- ting in which blank verse seems nat- ural and inevitable.

Stands p Site giiIrlstay ]l itlitan Trading Place. The principal customers a the city Qf Montreal's earliest market were the Indians, whe came tc exchange t►'e harvest of the chase for the pro- ducts of the white man's invention and energy, That waa.'100g ago, for Sandbars in his "Sketches of Mont- real Past and Present," relates that "The lust regular fair or market of which we have any account was the annual fair established about 1080; and hell In June of each year, when 'the savages that frequent tbe Great Lakes come down with prodigious quantities of beaver skins, which they give in exchange for arms, kettles, axes, etc., and on which the mer- chants generally clear two hundred per cent.' The first market place, probably the place on which the prin- cipal part of the business during the Indian fair was transacted, was that now occupied by the Custom House and Square." Shortly after the coming in of the last centur,' the city began to grow at a rate then considered marvellous- ly rapid; t -id larger and better mar- ket accommodations were needed. In the olden time pimple purchased their toed supplies on the public mar- ket, carried them home themselves, and so saved the Cost of delivery, The public market was the city people's source of supply, where they met the farmer, the producer, and so elimi- nated the middle man upon whose shoulders so much l:: laid to -day. There is still some going to market, but, increase of population consider- ed, nothing in comparisen with that of fifty years ago. And so it came to pass that as the city grew, want of more adequate market accommodation was experi- ence, which, in April, 1807, led to the passing of an Act "for building a new market -house, and for removing 'part of the stalls on the old market- place." The trustees were authorized to borrow $12,500 in order to carry out the work. The site chosen for the new market was that formerly occupied by the College founded by Stour Charron, and now known as Jacques Cartier Square. There seems to have been a "money stringency" at the time, be- cause the trustees were unable to raise the needed money, and so they went to Parliament for authorization to erect temporary stalls on the site of the proposed market, waiting to build until money was "easier." This plan was carried out, and sub- sequently a market was erected as at first proposed. This market was en- larged in 1821 by the addition of a wing. The entire market was of wood, but it served its purpose well until the present Bonsecours Market was erected, when the old wooden market was pulled down, and its site converted into a public square. Bonsecours Market is tile successor of those old markets; and in its early days it was considered a triumph of architecture for Sandham, the histor- ian, with evident pride, describes it as "a magnificent pile of cut stone buildings in the Grecian Doric style of architecture, erected at a cost of about $200,000, and equal, if not su- perior, to any building of the kind in America." FIRST MiaiMO.3 TEMPLE. Pioneer Structure In Canada Is Nott ender Way at Cardston, Work on the first Mormon Temple on British soil is now well under way in the Mormon centre for Can- ada, Cardston, Alberta. The struc- ture will be of granite from the Rocky Mountains of British Colum- bia. Machinery valued at $10,000 has been installed on the temple ground and cutting will be done there as fast as the rough material can be delivered. As ea h stone is out and dressed it will be placed in the wall. The structure will cost at least $300,000. This money will come mostly from tithing sent to bead guar tern at Utah, and the contra ctc_s ' ave the assurance of the church that all money needed will be forthcoming when asked for. Bishop Nibley, who has charge of the business affairs of the Mormon Church throughout the world, will have direct control of the work, but will not be on the ground. A local inspector and superintendent of construction will direct the local activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Lat- ter Day Saints have no temples at present outside of the State of Utah, where the great Salt Lake Temple stands, The new Canadian building will be the first to be erected on Brit- ish soil and the first outside of the State of Utah. The Salt Lake Temple • cost $4,000,000, and was 45 years in building, The other Utah temples, Manti, St. George and Logan, cost alI told about $3,000,000. Material at the time they were erected was very costly and transportation diffi- cult. It is stated by th, authorities to -day that as good building can be done to -day for about one-third of the, cost. So it would seem that the Canadian Temple wilt compare favor- ably with any of the Utah structures outside the great Salt Lake Temple. There are in Canada to -day close to 10,000 Mormons, and the Cardston Temple will be for their own use, Mormons in the northern United States, •who are much nearer to the international boundary than the State of Utah, will also have the Canadian temple as their shrine for receiving the higher ministrations of tbe church. As a regular place of meeting the Mormons of Cardston have a taber- nacle seating some 1,500 people, and this on all special occasions is filled to Overflowing. It has been neces- sary to divide the Cardston church, making two separate organizations.
