The addition of just oats to just corn, though helping some, is not the best way by a Some oats added to a corn•and- millt ration or a corn -and -tankage ra- tion is much more beneficial than where they are just added to corn. Where just corn and, oats are fed to brood sows carrying pigs in the wintertime the litters . aren't any stronger or larger at birth than where justcorn is used. The remedy is obvious. In both summer and winter add green pasture, milk products, packing- house by-products, alfalfa hay or a The process of fattening turkeys must be more gradual than for other poultry.

At the beginning of the period equal parts of wheat, oats and corn make a very good ration. The proportion of corn should be gradually increased until it makes up the main part of the diet during the last two weeks before marketing. New cern should never be given, as it almost invariably results in scours. Kafir or mile are good substitutes for corn, ten pounds of either of these grains. being equivalent in feeding value to nine poupds of corn. Pen Fattening Turkeys.

Contrast this poor showing with that of litter mates fed alongside but getting tankage in addition to corn and salt. These pigs ate almost three times' as mucic corn, or 4,4 pounds daily. The reason why they ate three times as much corn was because their digestive and assimilative capacity was enlarg-' rd duo to tankage feeding. They aver- aged three-fifths of a pound of tank-, lige daily a head. 13y feeding three-fifths of a pound of the seemingly high-priced tankage It was made possible for these pigs to practically triple their consumption of the very cheap corn_ and do so econ- omically. The .tankage was an econ- omical investment. The tankage -fed pigs weighed 226 pounds at the end of the five months of feeding as compared to fifty-seven pounds where no tankage was allowed.' The difference in weight of the .pigs at the end of five enonths was exactly 169 pounds a head on the average, and the feed requirement for 100 pounds of gain was very much lower: less than a third. • , We have 'noted that the corn -fed pigs took 1,448 pounds of feed for a l hundred pounds of gain.

There is a world of difference between a ting seed and a grain of sand. The sprouting of the seed is the beginning of the plant's life.

But before all this can be, there comes a day when sell and sun and shower have all done their part of preparation; and the new tree begins to be. This is its birth, the starting point of a new life. Growth follows, in body through exercise, in the mind through education, in the soul through aspiration, "unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the ful- ness of Christ." But, just as the seed must have the sun, before the dormant life, as it becomes the life it was meant to be, so the soul must be quick- ened "from above" by the power out- side ourselves that makes for right. eousness. This is the plain words and unforgettable phrase of Jesus, spoken to a good ;man whose life was not the highest possible, as the "new birth." Right Weight for Marketing Hogs. Mr. A. A. McMillan, Chief of the Sheep and Swine Division of the Do- minion Live Stock Branch, hes this to say regarding the right weight for marketing hogs: Farmers who aim to market a high percentage of hogs of the select bacon grade, after first hay- ing made sure that their breeding stock is of the right type and con- formation, should feed in accordance with recognized and approved meth- ods, and aim to market each litter at an average weight of two hundred pounds. There might, of course, be times when a falling market would warrant selling at slightly lighter weights, whereas a rising market might be an inducement to feed some- what longer. Any great deviation from the two hundred pound average will undoubtedly result in the sale of under -finished hogs if early marketing is practiced; whereas, if it is exceeded to any great extent a percentage of heavy ]togs will result. In another part of his "Handbook on Hog Grading," from which the foregoing extract is taken, Mr. Mac- Millan, dealing with heavy and extra ages are not impartial, seeing certain heavy grades, remarks that when varieties of apples and some orchards suffer severely while others in proxim- ity may escape almost entirely. In Quebec, Mr. Petah states, it is not altogether unusual to find the entire crops of Wealthy, Alexander and Fameuse apples completely ruined by the pest. A circular issued by the Dominion Entomological Branch, in dealing with methods of control, says the destruc- tion of fallen fruit, if done very care- fully and frequently over a period of twenty years, should eliminate the apple maggot, unless infected orchards remain nearby. The "drops" should be destroyed once a week, commencing at once or about July 25. In cases of severe infestation hogs are useful in keeping the ground free of fallen ap- ples. As soon as the flies, a descrip- tion of which is given in the circular, are noticed, the treea should be spray- ed thoroughly with lead arsenate, remain an important part of the fair. People like to be entertained and per, haps It is well:. There surely is no class of people that needs the occa- sional days set aside for pure pleasure and entertainment, for joyous aban- don of the accustomed cares and worries, as the farmer needs it. It is this feature of the county fair that creates the holiday spirit, that draws the crowds,that swells the gate receipts and pays the premiums, so the fair company surely needs it, and as long as human nature remains hu- man, the midway, the free attraction, and the races ,will ,undoubtedly prevail in some form. We, of the farms and the rural dis- tricts do not minimize this side of the big show. We are concerned, however, that it be kept clean and decent, a fit place for our boya and girls to 0011- gregate and enjoy themselves. The constructive thing that we are chiefly interested in, naturally, is the agri- cultural display. We want to see the farmers department show up to better and better advantage year after year. The farm can furnish entertainment and pleasure as well as interest and education to the public if it shows itself at its best. The things you have at home that are of interest to your friends and that you like to show -take those things to the fair. The people can not all come to you but they will all meet you at the fair. Put on some original farm stunts and watch the crowds de sert the side shows. The way to hake the fair a real agricultural fair is for farmers to take a hand and make It all they can. No one but the farmers can make a farmers' fair. Don't think you have done your part when you have bought a ticket, and then go out and criticize the officials if you do not find everything to your liking. Goodness knows they have troubles enough. They do not make the fairthey only direct it, and must work with such materials and assis- tance as they can secure. Let us turn out with our exhibits, our displays and our performances and show the world that the farms of our country are still on earth. • The Apple Maggot. The apple maggot, according to Mr. C. E. Petah, of the Donliniem Entom- ological Laboratory at Henuniugford, Que., does not spread rapidly, but yet it has made its appearance at many places since its discovery at Adolphus - town, Ont., by the late Dr. James Fletcher on August 31, 1896. Its rav- closer attention is paid to finishing at the 200 -pound average, very few hogs will be marketed at over weight, and the extra heavy grade, with few ex- ceptions, will include only those held for breeding purposes which have proved sterile. Comparison of Red, Alsike and Sweet Clovers as Pasture Crops. In each of two years the experiment was conducted at the College compar- ing the amount of pasture crop pro- duced by sweet clover, by alsike clover and by common red clover.
