SOME VETERINARY NOTES.
(A.. S. Alexander, M. 1). t'„ in Prairie,
il'':t m ;and home.)
Applying a poultice may seem a
LIllltple matter to the num of inexpt4rt-
•once; but it is not so oimpie tib it
tiepins. We know of a ntau who put a
hot poultice on his dog's foot, clad ree
flour afterward searched everywhere
for it in the yard. The dot; 'rad (niteil
the poultice, of course, and expesieuce
teaches that titre would occur,
Experience is necessary to prevent
accidents and Insure the proper doing
of eveu simple things for tile',, people
and animals. The man who puts t4 big
liot poultice upon a hor'se's jaw or
t;proat for the first time, knows that
something is wrong when an hour or
two afterward he finds the poultice
cold and sagged away from the skin.
A flaxseed -meal eoultice Is heavy from
the presence of water and will sag
unless properly applied. it is common-
ly used and beneficial in strangles
!colt distemper) when an anaeess
tuidcr the jaw is coming to a head,
To put such a poultice in place, so
11;at the hat flaxseed -meal will stay in
contact with the skin, use a. "many -
tailed bandage," To zualte one, tear
tight or ten tails six or eight incites
long on each end of a strip of new tua-
bieached linen, one and one-quarter
Yards long and half a yard wide. The
cloth may be smaller or slightly lagrer
than this, according .to tato size of the
animal to be treated. Put the cloth in
place by tying opposite tails together
ever the face, in front of the eyes,
back of the cars and on top of the
neck. Make the poultice as thick as
soft clay or putty, adding a little
wheat bran to keep it from sticking
%then dry. After the cloth is in
palace, unfasten or loosen two tails in
front of the earl••, and two others be-
l.ind them; then pack the poultice
mt:terial into place through this open-
ir.g, mould it snugly upon the parts
needing the material and retie the
tails to keep the pointless in place,.
This is the only plan that "works"
l,erfectly,
To poultice a foot make the poultice
material as before, lay it on a large
square of new gunny sacking, or can-
vas, set the sore foot down upon it,
tiring up the corners of the sucking
kind fasten them in place with a strati
!passed through several holes m the
tacking and then buckled around the
pastern. It is better still to use a
lemma of gunny sacking to bo covered
in turn by a square of canvas. Always
tie a horse uta short when such a poul-
tice is applied, else he may tear it off
v.lth his teeth. If he is so sore and
latae that he cannot stand up, he will
have to be supported with veterinary'
slings or allowed to Be down. In the
recumbent position pe will leave poul-
tices alone.
A. many -tailed bandage should also
be used when applying a poultice to
the knee, hock or ankle. Before ttp-
('lying a poultice to the knee or hock,
put a soft straw or hay reps as a
bandage on the leg below; then put
on the poultice or other dressing
secured in place by a many tailed
bandage. The straw bandage will help
to support the poultice. Further sup-
eort the poultice from above with
strips of new unialoaclied muslin, or
with straps fastened to a breast eoi-
tar, or breeching strop, as the case
may require. When a poultice cloth
or other bandage is applied to a hock
jnInt, remember to omit the point c.f
the hock, else the bandage willnot
remain in place.
A horse should be tied up short in
les stall when a knee or hock Is poul-
ticed. The standing posture is also
Itecessary for the successful treatment
of a cut ("broken") knee, or for a
!tuck that is tut in front. Rest is thus
obtained and is necessary in such
cases. If the horse ' is allowed to lie
down, the motion of getting up and
cr..'wn keeps tate wound open and irri-
tated. A horse should also be tied up
after stitches are put in a large wound
of the shin and muscles of the rump,
:1t one side" of the' tail, commonly
ceased by the kick of a stable mate.
USING POOR SEED CORN.
Bad germination in seed corn, com-
Nned witb prolonged cold weather at
tame of planting, Inas been the cat:ce
of melt disappointment' this season
to ensilage growers, The seed corn
growers of southwestern Ontario were
almost equally disappointed, through
being unable to find a market for
their thoroughly -dried corn of strong
vitality. Many campies were taken by
seed inspectors, and the investigations
made indicate clearly that at least 75
Per cent. of the cause for a poor stand
can be traced to the ensilage growes
buying low priced seed.
Unfortunately, high priced seed is
not always a guarantee of high qual-
ity, but low priced seed is possible
only with cern that has had' no spe-
cial care in curing for seed. The far-
mer who Bete $1.50 per bush. of 70 lbs.
on the ear for corn taken out of his
corn crib In the spring Inas more pro-
fit than the farmer who receives $2.50
a bush. et 70 lbs. ori the ear for corn
that has been kiln -dried or rack -dried
fn special corn -drying buildings,
If harvested in dry weather and kept
in narrow Cribs through the winter,
the cheap corn may give a fairly sat-
isfactory stand of plants with thick
seeding and good soil and weather
conditions. But too many farmers have
learned to their sorrow the very seri-
ous risk they take in using corn win-
tered in this way, It is always advis-
able for growers to procure seed corn
On the ear as during moist weather
Shelled corn in trauoportation or stor-
age will absorb moisture and mold
Within a very few days, thus destroy-
ing its vitality. Seed Branch, Ottawa.

BEARS' TERRIBLE COMBAT.

As the result of au tweltual fight
waged in, the bear pit at the Scottish
Zoological Park, nainburgiz, tine small-
est et the brown beans, a favorite
among tnu juvenue \letters to the
lark, was killed.
Seven bears in all—five brown and
two black --were accommodated ill the
Pit, and the fight originated through
the email brown bear grabbing to bis-
cuit which a larger bear considered
wet; intended for it, The beget at-
tacked the smaller one with deadly
1t:ry.
Some laborers hurled stones at the
attacker, but the stones had little
• effect, and an attendant, who was
hastily summoned, gamely went into
the pit to the assistance of the over-
borne animal. He got hold of one of
the large bear's hand legs, but was
hirable to pull the bear off its victim.
With a Iteavy club the keeper Jove
aff the attacker, but only for a mo-
znont or two. The keeper also used a
heavy whip until it broke.
In deadly grips tho two bears rolled
into the water, but the fight continued
for some time, until the big bear was
eventually beaten off. Madly mauled,
the victim got into a cage, and its
wounds were dressed and restoratives
applied, hut without avail, for the
animal died later in the evening.

SELECTION Ole A ROOSTEII.
Vie time has now come when e,l-
luost every tanner desires to tuake
tbpro e:mente In iris strain of layers
Most sten have learned that the roes -
ter of tate breeding pen has a greet
Oat to do with the egg -laying ability
of ntxt season's layers, This influ-
epee of tiro rooster has been behaved
in,
to some extent, fol' years. Ilut
not until late years have we come to
form definite ideas of Itis value and
intelligent conceptions as to his se-
lection enol use. 1''or many year's the
general farmer or ordinary keeper of
!poultry- has from time to time every
year or so, Introduced into his flocis.
roosters of strange blood with the
hope of improving the flock and its
activity as to egg production. in
the selection of these roosters there
were no rules laid down, except that
they of eourse must be of good,
healthy vigorous stock, and perhaps
of the same breed. The result is that
the average flock is a lot of mongrel -
bred. hens without a characteristic so
planted its the family as to breed true.
In the selection of a rooster I
would seek amuug no flocks outside
those of your breed. If your block bo
Plymouth Rocks I would not think
of lookiug for a rooster among any-
thing but Rocks. I would want to
know that Ile was.. of an egg -laying
strain. I would want to know that
the parties of whom 1 purchase make
regular use of the trapnest and that
this rooster's family bas a good ettg-
laying record. I would want to know
that in his general build-up too much
has not been sacrificed in weight and
centitutiontti vigor.
It will pay you to get in touch with
some good breeder. Tell hits the
condition of Your flock and let bier
stock you with roosters next fall, BY
penning the breeders one or two may
be all you need.
One reason I have taken up the
rooster question just now is that, by
beginning now, you can so manage
your old roosters as to save enough
in one year to buy good roosters, This
is done by disposing of your old ros-
ters right now before the weather gets
warns. As the breeding season is
over you will have no more use for
the males until next year, The aver-
age cost of keeping a fowl is about
ono dollar per year While your
roosters are eating this amount they
are not laying a. single egg, and so are
a dead. expense for a whole year.
Sell them now and you will not only
save their cost of feed, but you will
save the damage the roosters do in
the way of fertilizing the eggs, The
annual loss of $4$,000,000 in the pro-
duction and handling of the nation's
egg supply is largely due to the farm-
er's neglect to remove the males from
the frocks as soon as the hatching
season is over. Charge a just part of
this loss to your roosters and it will
be quite a help towards saving a sum
with which to buy a good rooster or
two for your pen or choice breeders,
Also snake allowance for the suns
these roosters you now I1ave, will
brine on the market. If your local
market isn't enough for good choice
roosters I would pen them and after
a week or few weeks extra feeding
slaughter one each Sunday . for a
change on your own table. It will
well pay you to in some way elimin-
ate these roosters front the hens dur-
ing the warm weather. ' If they aro
not good stock like you would like to
have I would take areasonable
amount thus saved and buy good
choice stock •tor next season's mat-
ings,
If you do not do this then you will
lose enough by the neglect to have
bought the new roosters. Then, why
wouldn't this plan of selling the roos-
ters now be the same as getting new
roosters without cost? But before

Ip'AL-TS AND RULES,
Foots sail rules which, you should
ebeerve:
1. Red mites niuldpiy most readily
during warm weather, and i11 dark,
dump, filthy houses.
2. Avoid all the hiding places pos-
sible. Change nest material often.
Don't allow any decayed or broken
eggs to remain in the nests. .
3, When a ]louse is once Wasted,
very thorough treatment is required
In order to get rid, of them,
4. Any one of three nnetluels may be
used: (a) Whttowasling and painting
with kerosene or crude carbolic acid;
(b) fumigating with sulphur and
painting with cresol emulsion; (e)
r'praying with lime sulphur solution,
5. To prevent mites, keep the house
'clean and paints the roots and interior
of nests every two weeks with kero-
sene: and trade carbolic nett!.
It is found that young .ehickene can
take a greater proportion of animal
food in the form of fish meal than as
neat, This is no doubt due to its
being more easily digested.. Some re-
csntly bare reared perfectly on 5 per
cent. of !]tis food from the shell,
INDIAN RUNNER DUCKS,
Indian Runner ducks are growing
rapidly in popular favor and in some
sections are competing with hens for
favor among poultrymen. Remark-
kable records for egg production have
been made by the Indian runners,
which are good foragers, grow rapid-
ly and reach maturity early.
Full grown -specimens weigh from
four to four and -a half pounds. This
is about the weight of Pekins, but is
not too sntalI for profitable market-
ing, since the ducklings can be refilled
to marketing size quickly. The old
fowls are good foragers and the heav-
iest laying breed of ducks known,
The market is far from being sup-
plied and duck .farmers aro finding
this aprofitable branch of the busi-
ness. The heaviest laying ducks ne-
cessnrily are the most profitable, and
.dunk growers are finding the Indian
Runners, both colored and white, very
satisfactory for this purpose.
The Whito Indian Runner duck
maltes a better appearance when
dressed than the colored Indian Run-
ner. It has every other quality of
the Indian Runner and its spreading
popularity bids fair to result, in a very
few years, in the supremacy of the
White Indian Runner duck over its
sister with colored feather's.
The Largest Reptile.
Vie largest existent reptile is the
man-eating salt water crocodile of
southern Asia and Australia, which,
when full grown, Treasures thirty feet
in length from end of nose to tip of
tail. One man makes hardly more -than
a mouthful for this fearsome creature.
She that always complains is never
pitied.

'' oreinaii Fell Into Vat for Boili>elg
the Raw Silk.
'ell Oi Bale and Floated
Relieved.
A titan who Is now at the head of
one of the largest establishments for
dyeing silks in this eountry tells a
story of a strange and thrilling adveJl-
ture that he passed through when he
was still only the ,superintendent of
1 rho "boiling recut: '
"Sills," he says, in. tailing the story,
"bas been the means of my living and
once it saved niy life. have you ever
been in a coon where they boil the
raw silk? it's a hot, steaming place,
with great bubbling vats that are
sunk to a level with the floor. The
raw silk, in bales, all fluffy and
sticky, comes in on rolling trucks, and
is dumped into the vats. The mass
ot ed ad

under.
"Just before the noon hour one day
a truck came in with two bales on it.
"'Dump them into No. 6 vat,' I. told
the men. 'I'll stir them if you fel-
lows want to go to dinner,'
"When they had gone I began to
look around for the stirring fork, I
couldn't find it anywhere, 'Confound
Bill!' 1 -said to myself, 'He loses ev-
erything.'
"I had hardly got the words out of
my mouth when any foot went orf the
edge of the vat. I felt myself failing,
and I was seized with the full convic-
tion of death.
"I bad time to think over just how
terribly hot the boiling water would
be and to wonder bow much of me
would be left when the men cane back
from dinner. Then I felt myself
land flat on my back on the mass of
floating silk,
"To this day I can see the very look
of the old smoky roof as I Tay on the
island of silk with the boiling water
on all sides- it was horribly hot
there, The perspiration started out
all over me, and I. felt that I must
move,
"First, however, I shouted as loudly
as I could, When no one answered I
cautiously tried to turn on my side,
The bale of fibre began slowly to roll
over. Nearly paralyzed with terror,
I threw out one arm. It was just
enough change in balance, I felt the
rolling motion stop. Then 1 knew
it wouldn't cio to move. I lay on mY
back, poised on the middle of the bale,
and walled for help. After a minute
or two 1 began to realize that the !silk
was slowly sinking into the vat.
You could hardly notice the motion.
At first I could look out of the cor-
ner of my eyes and see the edge of
vat No, 8. A little Iater, when I
looked again, ft was out of my line of
vision. 1 couldn't move without hay-
ing the bale roll over and if I re-
mained still I would go {Iowa inch by
inch into the scalding water below,
"I can remember that I became a
little hysterical, It's funny what
tricks the mind plays,.
"'This is dyeing with a vengeance,'
I said aloud, and I even laughed as I
said it.
"It was growing hotter. Steam had
begun to percolate through the silk,
and I was wet through with the stif-
ling clouds that rose from the surface
of the water. I had no idea of time.
By and by, however, some one an-
swered my shouts, The door opened
and two men came running across the
room.
"Get a pole!" shouted one,
"I knew that would be fatal; the
slightest push and I would roll over
into the steaming stew.
"'Boys,' cried I, "don't touch me or
it will be all over. One of you turn
off the feed pipe:
"I could hear the chug, chug of the
steam being cut of from the vat. A
moment later I could see the wet rim
that broadened round the edges, and I:
knew the water was falling. It took:
half an hour to empty No. 6, For
a while the two men ran round Iike
excited June bugs. Then they got a
rope and sat on the edge 02 the vat
watching me with great staring eyes,
".As tbe water ran out the silk
sank- now on one side, now on the
other. Could It start to roll. Both
the men grunted and sat Up very
straight. Suddenly one of them cried
out:
"'There's the bottom!'

CROP CENSUS
Latest Bulletin as to Wheat, Ray,
Clover and Alfalfa.
The Dominion Census and Statistics
Office issued recently a bulletin giv-
ing a preliminary estimate of the
yield of fall wheat, of hay and clover,
and of alfalfa, based upon appearances
at the end of Ju]Y, as estimated by
correspondents, and a report on the
• condition. of other field crops at the
samo date,
Fail Wheat, Hay and Clover and

the average yield per acre of fall
wheat in Canada for 1915 is 28,10
bushels, as compared with, 21.41 bush-
els last year, and with 21,78 bushels,
the average of the five years 1010 to
1914. The harvested area of fait wheat

toba, Saskatchewan, Albert and Brit-
ish Columbia amounts in 1915 to
1,208,700 acres, as compared with
072,300 acres in 19;7.4, and the total
estimated yield to 33,957,800 bushels,
as compared with 20,887,000 bushels in
1914, an increase in total yield of 63
per cent. in area barvested, in aver-
age yield per acre and in total yield
tato fall wheat harvest of 1915 is there-
fore expected to be the largest on
record. In .Ontario the total estimated

BAITING" RAILWAY. .
(Montreal Evening News.) .
In the past, Canada has learned
many lessons of importance from the
experience of her nearest neighbor,
the United States. While the Cana-
dian people are always disposed to act
with independence, they .are not short-
sighted enough to reject what may be
learned with profit from another coun-
try very similar in nature to this one.
A tow weeks ago, the Interstate Com-
nreree Commission of the United States
Itancled out a decision granting to the
railway companies in certain sections
the right to increase their rates, 'A
1'ery years ago any such decision would
have aroused a storm of protest. The
recent decision was accepted, generailY,
in such good part as to suggest that
the public is being educated in econo-
mic truths.
President Woodrow 'Wilson, who is
one of the leading economists of his
day', sometimes hands out hints to the
public along with his messages, One
of these ho handed out when he first
mentioned the subject of freight rate
increases. He said the prosperity of
tate country is bound up with the pros-
perity of the railways. He suggested
that the public, in hurting the rail-
ways, were hurting themselves. Justice
for the railvays was justice for the
public also.
Big industries, like some big men,
are sometimes not in popular favor
with the general public. They are ex-
pected to give evidences of generosity
to all and sundry: otherwise, they are
roundly condemned. They lend them-
selves to the critical uses of cartoon-
ing. Such has been the experience of
the 'Vatted States. But the United
States is learning what an expensive
habit railway' baiting is, and is quick
to profit by the lessen. in the last
election, the remarkable gains of the
Republican party, once shot and ap-
parently killed because it was believed
to he a friend of the "big interests,"
has been interpreted by all disinterest-
ed 'political experts in the United
States as sufficient evidence that the
nagging of business just because busi-
ness was guilty of sin, had begun to
pail on the American »ttblic.
When an application by the Cana-
dian railway companies for permis-
sion to increase their freight rates is
before the Board of Railway Clommis:-
sioners, it is timely to point out that
the great danger both the railways and.
tate public 'rave to fear is polluter pre-
judice against the railways. Let such
prejudice take form, and it will be ex-
tremely hard for justice to be done,
with the result that tile railways
suffer and the country with them.
