The pragice of healing eT warm- ing the drinking weter-f•or live 'steek during the winter li.as been followed Pretty generally by meet live steek fornlef 5, tieing anything from an old kettle' to a modern tank heater. I • remember seeing at one foam on a moderate winter daY, a large bal+k 01 waiter brought to such a temperature that 1 know it was .aetualay insipid to the eagle which good about it. I do net think it is essential k raise the temperature of water in winter very much above that of the water as it cornea freer: the weN. Water' fresh front the well, even et winter temper- ature is stimulating to a well-fed ani- mal and it seems to enjoy it. Where water stands in a leave tank and ice freezes on it, it gets too kid kr t.he hest results. Live stock doeA not gem to relish greatly he evegre weather , drinking through a bele in the iee. The desire for water in the winter is just as great or greater than .during the summer months since more dry feed is given and mere water must be taken into the body to assim- ilate the dry foodstuffs, • If stock must chink very cold water during the winter it wild be advisable to have it accessible all the time to. them. In this way they will drink sm,all quantities at frequent intervals and ,comseme sufficient water without chilling themselves. If they have ac- cess to the water o.nly once or twice a day they will temente large quan- tities of ice water at a time which tend.s toward chilling the body unduly and to digestive dieerders sometimes. Hogs drink more frequently than cat- tle, though sometimes they do without rather than wade snow or slush to get' it. ' There is, I beileve, a limit to stop at in heating the water. Removing the chill is sufficient. We have a sub - =sine type heater in our sixteen- •Mindeed-gailon tank which is used whenever ice begins to freeze on top. As we use large quantities of water, pumping in from four to six hundred gallons a' day, the water does not' freeze much except in cold weather. A. few hours of fire in theheater each day removes the chill, cobs, coal or wood.hing used for the purpose. The temperature a the water can be rais- ed quicker if there is a coveeing of ice on top, as the ice prevents the heat from eseaping. At we hiave from forty to seventy head of cattle -all the time, I feel sets in saying that the heater will return its coat every winter in the cenvenience and benefits We de- rive from it. While we have a hydro -pneumatic water system and can give the cattle a drink (daily time by simply opening a water tap, it would be pretty rnuch of a job to keep this up in severe weather, but it answers the purpose all right during suminer, erpring and Fighting Disease Before It Comes. Good health can be bred intoa flock, and proper sanitary measures will maintain it. Recently we exposed our flock, or part of it, to chicken -pox when we bought some cockerels and 'turned them into the breeding house, without first keeping them in quaran- tine for a length of thne sufficient to inlet. 73 Acsolaido St. West.

The fact that chickens onee havingothis die - ease are afteewarde immene has ,boen firmly establithed, but we hold,: in common with others, thwt,-tile off- spring of diseased birds will uettaV be weaker and mote susceptible t.� disease than will the 'offepring of birde of strouger For that reason we will rig use as O breeder a femaleor 0 male that h,a's been ill cm that shows weak vital- ity. No breeder that IMO ever been sick is used hi the breeding Pen, for the very feet that it was sick showthat its dieease-resieting Power is lees than that of other bird's. Nature if left to her 'own • devices usually weeds out such birds. Our flock ranges 'front 100 to 150 birds, probably about the average Ida an ordinary farm, and welmow as lit- tle about doctoring as de our neigh- bors. But we practice prevention to a greater extent than they, practice it, and have a mere 'rigid rule, .It Pays to do this, as shown by the fag that when our neighbor an one sic* lost heavily through r.oupeand another' found the ravages of chicken:pox cut- ting down" bis 'profits, we were not bothered with disease. A slight cold has cropped out,eccasionally, but the removal of the.c.ause and prompt pre- ventiVe measures latee isset it from growing dangerous' or raming into' something more serious.. Aside from breeding front only highly vigorous birds and ones that have always enjoyed good health, we attlibute our good luck to cleanliness in the yards, houses and feeds,' to 'soil that bas never been allowed to become contarnianted and' to feeding Epsom salts w6 the rate of a teospeonful per bird at least once every month during the winter. We believe that the fowl which is clean inside as well as out- side has gthater resisting pitwar than one whieh is the opposite. We 'also/ feed green 'toed,' either sprouted oats; mongele or the left- over vegetables from the 'golden, and believe thiS to be neeeseary to. keep the ben toned up to a proper pitch. Proper housing is, 'of emicese, eseen: tial to good 'health. A damp house is a constant source of trouble. Our houses are given a thorough .elenning twice each yeae—ente ili e.arly spring and again in the fall, about the time the young stock is placed in them. The walls, floors and fixtures are scrubbed, the house is thoroughly fumigated. The interior is kept whitewashed, as this gives a cheerful appearance to the inside of the house, makes it lighter and more sanitary during the dark winter days: The range is kept clean, no refuse is allowed to accumulate, and whenever we believe the soil is in danger of be- eoming contaminated it is plowed up and planted to some crap. The hens, are fenced out while the crop is get- ting 'started. After the crop is off the Soil is put in grass and allowed to run for a ,few years. Under this plan we have never been troubled with soil contamination. For doles place a 'small amount of kerosene an top of the drinking, water. Feed :each hen a serall teaspoonful of Epeem ealta.mixed with a wet mash in the snorning. • Fowls fatten in a short time when fed on ground rico- web ecalded and mixed with milk. Adol' some geese sager. This should be fed in the day- time, but only a little at a time. The mixture should be vegy . Green feed mu.st never be given when it is froeen. Of sprouted oath, give one square inch per hen daily. In n'o cease will the greatest care in feeding offset dark, damp, poorly - ventilated quarters>, excessive exp.o.a UM, lack oa exercise or the en of semis .stock. The dry mash generally used is composed of equal parts by weight of wheat, bran, wheat middlings, ground oats; eornmeal arid meat scrap. It is fed in hoppers, 'and kept continually before the birds. Careful feeders watch their birds and regulate the quantity of scratch feed so as to keep the bieds in mach a condition that they will be eating mesh eagerly with no nee:emulation of scratch grains in the Frozen .combs end wattles may be prevented by anointing with a salve made of eqnsa parts of vaseline and kereseere well mixed.

Excessive nutrition of the skin Is present, and bruieing may have something to do with the condition. Warts ;often grow where sores have healed. Warts that have narrow necks may be snipped off with scissors, a few at a tinfe. If this is done, apply a little pine taT the following day. Excessive bleeding may be stepped by bathing with very hot water or very cad water, then painting the wound with tincture of iodine: Mass- es of small warts may be removed in. the course of time, by immersing the affected teats for ten minutes or more, twice daily, in water containing all the bicarbonate of soda it will dis- solve when hot, or in sake per cent. solution of washing soda, The strength of the lastsmentioned solu- tion should be decreased ene-half after the first day of use. A thick paste compoeed of table salt, sulphur and coldsemermessed castor oil is also effective, and many people use raster oil alone. The' latter, however, is eloUr in effect compared with the other mixture.

Tobacco hae been grown for many years' in QUellec, and in the last quar- ter of a century has become an 3m - portant crop in south-wOtern Ontario, haeing .been first' introdeced by the FrenchXimadiaris 'Settled there. Mr. F. C.

He ear - rates that the first results of the ef- forts of his Division were the creation of the cigar -tobacco industry in the Province of Quebec and the establish- ment of sorting and fermenting ware- houses. In Ontario, tobeccb growers have specialized for a -number of years in the cultivation of the White Burley variety, used chiefly in the marrufac- lure of pipe and ping tobeeco. The seed from thie variety from selections at the Harrow Experimental Station, yield crops superior in -weight and of improved quality compared with those coming from imported seed. In order to extend a knowledge of improved methods in tobacco growing; a num- ber of experimental plots have been conducted in co-operation with the growers themselves. Fall plowing of the land to be used for the crop leas proved of advantage, as it lucre/sites soil moisture, while tending to destroy insecte destructive to, the crap: A study of the various types of seedbed has shown that a s.enii-hot-bed under glass ris the .only one'thot gives abso- • lutely dependable results. Tests of varieties have . greeted that White Burley and Comstock are best suited to this country, and: are in zio way infelior in product hi the same var- ieties imported from the United States.
