Handling Manure on a Large Farm.
! There are various methods of handl-
ing manure in practice in our locality.
Quite frequently we see the manure
drawn out and spread off the eleigh
on top of a lot of snow, a very poor
way unless, perhaps, on a real level
field of sod, If put on plowed ground
in this way it tends to leave the soil,
if any way heavy, in a soggy con-
dition. Another method followed by
some, but gradually becoming less
popular, is 'to team the manure out in
winter in small piles ready to spread
in the early spring, but owing to
the frost remaining in these heaps so
long, they usually are not spread for
a long time, and lie exposed to sum
rain and wind until very little but
straw is left to be thrown about, and
the spots where the piles lay can be
noticed in several succeeding crops,

tance with -the beautiful scene which
one obtains from the summit of Rich-

Hotel, on whose site wall rise the new
hospital for totally disabled soldiers,
has been the scene of much and varied
gayety. Marshall Sault, Louis Pril-
lips, King Victor Emmanuel and Na-

guished guests who have lived in it;
the young guardsmen of the days of
Waterloo took the air on its ample

aster and ruin for the once so pros-

to be too near the metropolis to be

Picking Out the Calves.
From time to time, says one farm-'
paper, some exponent of more live-
stock rises to remark against the;
slaughter of the calves and not always'
is this without reason. We must!
agree that very often calves which!
should be kept in the herd for breed
ing purposes are turned away for veal
and their owner gets little profit from 1
them, and they are not permitted to
do the good in the herd which they,
would have done if kept for treed-!
ing purposes. However, there are
largo numbers of calves raised each
year which should go to the veal
route, and many of those which are
killed while very young would be no
use if kept in the herd as breeders.The good dairyman hes a basis

MODERN SURGERY.
Only Two Per Cent. of the French
Wounded Die.
Amidst the never -ceasing reports of
'ct the tremendous less of life occasioned
by the present European war there
has been a growing curiosity to know
just how ninny of the wounded who
are brought back to the hospitals re-
cover. In previous wars where in-
struments of death were less thorough
it was known that the death rate in
military hospitals was about 80 per
cent,
Dr. Jaques Bert1llon, who is in
charge of 111 medico -surgical stet-
rsttcs for the entire French army, has
just stated that the mortality at pre-
sent is only 2 per cent, His figures,
made lap and avernged from the re-
ports from all French military hos-
pitals, at least give an authoritative
answer ID American queries. He
