Permanent Stairs oe Ladders In
Barns,
Ib le very strange how some farmers,
year itt and year out, will climb up in the
barn or bay snow to put fn and take cub
bay, straw and other fodder without the
aid of a ladder or stairs; but climb from
a manger, box or barrel, grasp a brads,
stringer, or other projeeting portion of

Business Methods in Farming.
Every crop planted on the farm, every
animal bought, and every man hired is an
investment, involving sound business judg-
ment, in both the planninfg, and the man.
agement, to insure a profitable outcome.
Too often crops are planted, or stock raised,
simply because other farmers raise them,
without regard to the cost, the market, or
the adaptability to the particular farm and
its equipment. When planted, no account
is kept of the expense, and not even an
estimate is made of the comb, but the crop
is sold as soon ae harvested for what it will
bring and the crop repeated the next sea.
son. While it would sometimes cost more
then the crops were worth to keep a de•
tailed set of accounts with each crop, still
a simple business•liko set of farm accounts
will furnish the data whereby the profit-
ableness of peraibnler crone, or stock, may
be closely estimated, andi thus furnish a
safer basis than guess -work tor the ahem
don:nent of the crop, or for chauging its
treatment. Many parts of the estimates
made for one year or field, would answer
for other years and fields. Whether aae
counts are kept with particular fields or
crops or not, there should bo an account
opened with the farm, and others with
household and personal expenses. By
taking stook each year, it can be determined
whether the farm has been profitable
whether the improvements have exceeded
the repairs ; whether personal pleasures
have been top extravagant, and whether
the household department has been econo-
mically carried on. Of course there should
be an account for every person with whom
a credit busiuess is transacted, for every
one admits that memory utterly faits in
keeping an accurate record of such bransae•
tions. Treat the farm as a person mad
see whether it amt be credited with a fair
balance of profit every new year. If
farming is a bneinoa9, then the keeping of
farm accounts will pay.
Smoothing Wounds on Roots.
In digging up treee for transplanting, the
spade severing the larger roots usually
leaves a very rough surface to the wounds,
in fact, the roots are more likely to be
crushed and broken instead of being out off
smooth. To insure a clean, healthy surface
from which new rootlets may issue in due
time, we recommend the smoothing off of
the ends of all suoh broken roots, and with
a sharp knife or pair of sheers. It is only
a moment's work and the roots will be the
better for it, and frequently it prevents
canker and decay, especially with stone
fruits, such as the peach, cherry and plum.
Trees taken up in the fall and heeled in for
the winter should be very carefully
examined when taken out for planting in
the spring, and all dead mote taut back to
the sound parts, and the blackened wounds
shaved or smoothed off until they 'look
Might and fresh.
Salt as an Insecticide.
if you should apply salt enough per acre
to kill all the worms and grubs in the
ground, you would, at the same time, kill
all the weeds and grass, and leave the laud
barren of vegetation, You may apply rix
to eight hundred pomade of salt per acre,
sown broadcast to spring before sowing
grain or planting potatoes, corn, and aim•
iltr crops, and perhaps with benefit, but
otherwise salt should be used with caution

Minnesota is similarly cursed. It has cross

towards the Canadian border.
The Regina Leader, which has been keep-
ing its readers informed of this Iatest
danger to Northwest agriculture, quotes
from a report made to the United States
Department of Agriculture in which the
weed is described. When it appears above
ground in spring it closely resembles fine
moss, and within ten days afterwards the
roots are so tough that it is vory trouble-
some to pull up. The root is quite small,
but from it briers, very much like porcupine
quills, spread out, until the plant looks like
a great ball about four feet in diameter at
the top and from three to four feet high.
These branches, when growing, are full of
sap, but as they ripen turn hard as bone.
They are covered with millions of short,
sharp fibree, ander which are the tiny seeds.
When the thistle arrives at maturity the
briers decay off close to the roots and break
away, The wind roll them over and over
for miles, seeding in whatever direction it
is blowing. At any obstruction they collect

or pilo up to the top and blow over. When
the plants are ripe no mower can out them
down, neither can they be ploughed under,
as they quickly choke the plough.
The only known means of extirpating
the pest is to out it down before it roadies
the seeding period. Where the plant has
gained a widespread distribution this is
almost a hopeless task, and indeed thou-
sands of acres of land in the three states
mentioned above have been practically
abandoned, the cultivator retiring before
an enemy that he cannot subdue. It is
olear that if it is to be kept out of Manitoba
and the other western provinces the great-
est vigilance must be maintained. It le a
battle that must not be left to Governments
alone. It is one in which every inhabitant
must bear a hand. Wherever the pest is
seen it must be extirpated. Forewarned
is forearmed, and with a knowledge of the
enemy it may be possible to keep it out,
even though, as it has been poipted out, it
will be rolled into the country on the

It Is more than probable that before the

very few preserved spoodmens in existence

TIIE GREAT WHITE 11IdIYOCER0S.
The main points of difference between the
two species are the shape of the mouth
and the manner of feeding. The Bioornis

feeds entirely upon leaves and twigs, and

try ; he is wary and shy, quick to anger and
exceedingly obstinate, inquisitive, and
auspicious. The Simus has a disproper
tionately large head, with a great jaw
which is out quite square off in front, and
the great rubber -like lips are suited for the
grass upon which he feeds entirely, though
to the autumn and winter, when the grass
over vast etretehes of country has been
burnt away, it is a puzzle how he manages
to get enough to sustain his great bulk.
Zs carries his head very low, and has long
ears slightly tipped with curly black hair;
he is not so inquisitive or suspicious as his
black brother, and is alightly more
SLUGGISH IN HIS =FERRETS,
though upon occasion he can cover the
ground with unexpected speed. Auother
curious fact is that the calf of the Simus
will always run in front of the oow, while
the calf of the Bicornis invariably follows
its mother ; this habit never varies. They
drink every clay, or rather every night,
and as a rule, do not go down to the water
till after midnight. When the sun gets
very warm they generally enjoy a siesta,
sometimes in the bush, and sometimes out
in the glaring, quivering heat ; and though
they will occasionally lie in thick, bushy
country they do not niake a point of choos-
ing the deepestshade. When fairly asleep
they do not waken easily, and they may
then be easily shot or photographed.
!n the first few days of June, 1893, I
'started. aloe° from Salisbury and entered
northeast Mashonaland. For five days,
from sunrise till dark, I patrolled and
quartered every yard of country for a good
number of miles, and on the sixth day I
saw—though so far off that they appeared
just as dark specks—two of the huge brutes
1 was searching for. The first thing to do,
of coarse, was to get below the wind, as
when they were first sighted the wind blew
directly from ane to them. In an hour's time
I was crawling toward them through the
fringe of bush that lay about 1550 yards
below the open position they had chosen
for their midday siesta. I thought they
might give me some trouble, so I took my
colored boy with me—he could shoot rather
well and carried a single twelve -bore rife.
As I crawled on my etontach toward them
with the

I saw one of them had become suspicious,
and had got on to his feet, evidently muoh
disturbed. When I saw this I fattened
myself as muoh as possible into the sharp
grass stubble and blank ash -this latter the
result of a devastating grassfire which had
occurred a few weeks before. It seemed
hours before this very painful crawl brought
me to the small tuft of dry grass I was
making for. After waiting for some time I
was relieved to see the other brute stand up

Speaking generally, it will be found that
a good yield, or relatively high price, has
tended to check reduction, while contrary
conditions in these respeots have had the
effect of accelerating it. The recovery in
the area over the third period of eight years,
especially in the first and second years, 1868
9 and 1869.70, is obviously a natural eon -
sequence of the higher price over the two
preceding harvest years; while the general
though slight iocrease•throughout the period
15 accompanied with fair maintenance of
price up to nearly the end of it. As the
summary shows, it is over the fourth and
fifth periods that the very great decline hoe
taken place, and it is over these that the
very marked decline in price prevailed.
Further, it was within the fourth period
that the disastrous harvest of 1879 occurred,
non only in the United Kingdom, but in
Western Europa generally, This led to
some increase in price, and to greatly in.
creased imports, which, with the exception
of one or two years, have steadily increas-
ed ever since. In fact, it was the very bad
Beason of 1879, stmeeeded by several of less
than average yield, that led to the great
extension of exporting areas, in different
parts of the world, and coincidently to a
great reduction in price ; and with this to a
great reduction of area under wheat in the

THE SIGISIFIDAVOE
of the very great and rapid increase in the
imports of wheat, the stop a article of food
of the population of the United Kingdom,
is very tnarked. During the first eight
yearly period, the fnglisb producer pro.
vided 73 per cent. of the total requirement;
over the last sight years he provided only
about 32 per cent. In other words, over the
earlier period he provided nearly three-
fourths, but over the later less than one-
third of the total requirement, nn the
other hand, while over the first eight years
imports supplied only about 27 per cent.
over the last eight they supplied about 65
per cent. of the requirement. This was
the casenotwithstandiug that the last eight
yearly period gave a higher average yield
per acre of the home crop than either of the
four preceding periods. The fact is, that
the less dependence on home, and the
greater on foreign supplies, has been largely
due to the increase of the population over.

of course, largely also to the reduction of

With the rapid inorease of population which
has taken plane in the United Kingdom, it
is utterly impossible for that oountry to

tion, and 0 the increase should continue, it
will be in a greater degree impoesible in

United Kingdom has, during the last eight
years, averaged rather lese than ono -eighth
of the total arable area; and to produce all
the wheat required for consumption, more
than one-third of the existing arable area
would be required. If the area devoted to
other rotation crops were to continue to
