HALL, Publisher News -Record CLINTON, ONTARIO. Draft horse the Most Profitable. The use of draft stallions hes been persistently advocated because that means the most money for the aver- age farmer breeder. It is well under- stood by horsemen that draft horses and colts eat somewhat more hay but not much more grain than light horses or liglib colts of corresponding ages. They are more easily confined, less subject to accidents and more readily trained to work than light horses. Ac- cordingly there is not much diffeeence in the cost of feeding colts of different classes. Most men of experience claim that draft horses may be somewhat more cheaply produced because they can safely be put to work a year younger. Many draft colts corning two years old are doing :full work on discs and harrows this spring, putting in oats, and aro considerably larger than light colts, at three years old; Which is the earliest they usually begin farm work, Tho demand for ,draft horses is still unappeasable. Anything With quality and in good condition weighhtg 1,00 rotinds or more, is sell- ing as high tis the trade has over known, $275 to $800 per head being cur'r'ant prices.- -Breeder's Casette, am • , , lil�tJO t S t�Il�rllillu�-t�F) uer`ics �yJ l�ia�li, VAPt l:undueted by Professor I eliry..G, Bell.

B.:—Can you toll me the cause of scabby potatoes and how to treat ground so as to prevent potatoes from becoming scabby? My potatoes seeto grow fairly, well, but aro alwayevil; ry scabby Answer:—.Scab on potatoes is a dis- ease ,caused by, a parasitic fungus. When once it gets into the soil it re- mains there for some time. Potatoes should be grown in a rotation and to•be in - feted should/be 'kept with scab. ab. soil It is not 3advisable to use wood ashes or lime on ground to b¢ put to potatoes,as they make conditions. right for the development of the scab. Fresh manure tends to of rodscall•uce suitable conditions for growth If potatoes are planted on clean ground aid tz'eatecl with either form- alin or corrosive sublimate'at a cost of $1.00 to $1.50 per acre, no scabby pota•£iles will be present. The formalin treatment may be used, but we prefer the corrosive sublimate treatment, since it controls a number of other diseases besides scab,.t It is as fol- lows: Dissolve four ounces of corro- sive sublimate (purchased at any drug store) in 30 gallons of water. Soak the seed potatoes one and one-half hours before cutting. It is advisable to dissolve the corrosive sublimate in one or two gallons water and add suf- ficient to make up 30 gallons. This had best be done two weeks before planting and before a otatoes sprout. The mixture can be used but four times, after which it shouldbethrown. away, and a new lot made up. It should be prepared in wooden vessels, Henry G, BelL It destroys iron or tin. Since it is a deadly poison it should be kept away from stock and cilildren, Do not feed ally left -over potatoes that have been treated, • Question—,p.,, L. Iif„—How much corn for silage should be sown to the acre, and how far apart •should the rotes be? Will corn in drills produce more silage to the acre than if sown in hills? . Which is considered the beat method of seeding? Has the corn planter any decided ad- vantage over the ordinary seeder? Answer:—The rate of planting corn for ensilage depends largely on the fertility of the soil, Plant closer on rich than on poor soil. The rows should be planted at whatever distance is convenient for cultivation, usually not closer. than 30 inches. Corn can be planted closer for ensilage than if desiring for husking. If the ground isfairly rich, drop the seed from 8 to 10 inches apart in rows. If much corn is desired in the ensilage, it should be planted farther apart .than if forage is the main consideration. More ensilage will be produced in drills than in hills. Unless the ground is likely to be extremely weedy, we would ad- vise drilling for ensilage. The ordinary corn drill is the best machine to use for seeding, especial- ly when the corn drilled, I am not quite certain just what is meant by "the ordinary seeder," but if a "job" or hand planter is meant, one import- ant advantage the drill has is that the corn can all be planted at a uniform depth, POOH HOW TO SET A HEN. As the time approaches for the hen to become broody or set, if care is tak- en to look into the nest it will be seen that there are a few soft, downy feathers being left there by the Igen; also the hen stays longer on the nest when laying at this time, and on be- ing approached will quite likely re- main on the nest, making a clucking noise, ruffling her feathers and peck- ing at the intruder. When it is noted that a hen sits on the nest from two to three nights in succession, and that most of the feathers are gone from her breast, which should feel hot to the hand, she is ready to be transfer- red to a nest which had been prepared for her beforehand. The normal temperature of a hen is from 100 to 107 degrees Fl, which varies.,,slightly during incubation. Dust the hen thoroughly with insect powder, and in applying the powder hold the hen by the feet, the head down, working the powder well into the feathers, giving ,special attention to regions around the vent and under the wings. The powder should also be sprinkled :n the neat, The nest should he in some quiet, out of the way place, where the set- ting hen will not be disturbed. Move her from the regular laying nest at .night and handle her carefully in do- ing so. Put a china egg or two in the nest where she is to set, and place a board over the opening so that she cannot get Of. Toward the evening of the second day quietly go in where she is setting, leave some feed and water, remove the board from the front or top of the nest and let tiie hen come off when she is ready. Should she return to the nest after feeding remove the china egg or eggs and put under those that are to be incubated. If the nests are slightly darkened the hens are less likely to become restless. At hatching time they should be con- fined and not disturbed until the hatch is completed, unless they become rest- less, when it may be best to remove the chicks that are hatched first. In Cool weather it is best not to 1.!•,t more than ten eggs tender a hen, while later in the spring one can put twelve or fifteen, according to the size of the hen. Among the advantages of keeping pure bred folvls as compared with mongrels are: better results in breed- ing; more opportunities to dispose of eggs for setting, at high prices; uni- formity in the eggs and a better ap- pearance of the flock. Sunlight, vehtilatioil, fresh air; these are the prime essentials to suc- cess with incubator -hatched- chicles. Fowls may; survive for a generation or two without full provision for all this, but they gradually lose vitality and eventually die off, • Chicks should not be fed before 24 ]course have elapsed after hatching, but fills sand should be available as soon as possible'. This helps diges- tion. The remains of the yolks in the newly -hatched chick will keep the bird alive without other food for over two days. 'Chicks that die before they are two days old are usually weaklings, which could not be saved ' easily, They probably come from eggs that had too hard a shell or else from eggs laid by diseased hens. An occasional d.ink of sous milk Will be beneficial to young chicks, as the lactic acid in sour milk attacics the organism which causes white diarr- hoea. One of the thief causes of trouhlo with chicks is overfeeding, Over- feedingcan be milked at once, for the chicks will lie down a largo part of the time. A healthy ditch will al - ems scramblo..dnt'1 the thick cf• the crowd when :foes' is offered, ' keg° The wool growers of Ontario will have ah opportunity this year of dis- posing of their crop at even less ex- pense than those of other provinces, who co-operate under provincial man- agement, provided they send their prd` duct to the central grading and sell- ing station at Guelph. The charges made by the other provinces have been $1.00 for membership and one cent per pound for the handling of the wool, while in Ontario the .price will be, in all, five cents per fleece, to cover insurance on the wool, cost of twine, . and wool sacks, cartage at Guelph, and all labor involved in handling the wool. With handling done at this small price, and the market for the wool right at their door, •the Ontario sheep men will have an advantage over the men of the Western Provines that will offset the latter's advantage in cheap growing of the wool. The Westerners have such confidence in their system of marketing this pro- duct, and are so satisfied of the su- periority of the East as a place for marketing, that they are this year renting a warehouse in Ontario and paying the freight from the West to Ontario, in order that their wool may be marketed here. The knowledge of this fact should be enough to induce all Ontario wool growers to take pa_t in the new movement immediately by applying to the secretary of the Canadian Sheep Breeders' Association for application forms and rules gov- erning these co-operative sales.

Ths tractor fits in with the spring work in a way that is herd for the horses to do. The Horses have spent the winteY in comparative idleness and are not in condition to go out and do the hardest hind of work, They will tire, while the machine will not. More horse power is necessary for the use Of larger machinery, which lit turn does farm work more thoroughly and at a lower cost per acre or per ton of crop. More horses, heavier horses and horses in better condition all through the working season will lower production cost. Prepare the horses in the early spring for a hard) summer's work by regularly exercis- i mg and gradually increasing to nervier worle, Fond Value of Beans. It is estimated that an average acre of beans produce, as much real food material as is usually obts.ined ±1000n live to fifteen acres of pasture lend in the:production of either meat or milk. According to recent deter- Minations and prevailing prices, as much valuable food material for hu- man consumption could be obtained from the puechnse of beans with twenty cents as from the purchase of cheese with forty-three cents, of beef steak with seventy -Bine cents, and of eggs with ono dollar and sixty-one cents.

Olfacr Farmers who intelligently feed and care for their pregnant sows, so as not to overload them with fat, let instead give them feeds for the development of bone and muscle, are on the right road toward the production of strong, healthy litters. Their prep: redness programme, however, does not end here: Two weeks' before farrowing, the sow should be put into a farrowing pen so that she will become acquainted and contented in her new quarters', The farrowing pen should be dry and free from drafts. Provide the,pen with a guard rail made of 2 x 4 inch planks set eight inches from the wall and eight inches from the floor to prevent the sow from crushing the pigs against the wall. Use only a small quantity of bedding; leaves or straw are preferable. See that the sow has plenty of fresh water. It pays to keep the sow quiet. As- sistance at the time of farrowing should be at hand if needed, but the sow need not be helped if she is get- ting along well. In cold weather put the newly born pigs in a well warmed basket, and after farrowing is over the pigs should be placed with the sow, care being taken that each one gets to a teat. When the afterbirth is passed, it should be removed from the After farrowing the sow should have nothing but water and a little thin slop for the first day. The feed- ing for the first three or four days should be light, and the time consumed in getting the sow on full feed should be from a week to ten days, depending on the condition of the sow and the size and thrift of the litter. It takes plenty of sow's milk to make healthy growing pigs. If the pigs begin to scour, feed the sow less and gave her plenty of strong lime -water. It is very necessary that the little pigs have plenty of exercise and all the sunlight that can be given them. Do not allow the pigs to run out during a cold rain. If possible, provide green feed or roots. These keep the sow healthy and cheapen the rater En- courage the pigs to eat grain after they are three' or four weeks old. Build a creep for therm -se they can food alone. At this age feed for bone and muscle. Give them all the skim - milk you can. If skim -milk is not available, give them some meal and plenty of pasture in season. In about eight or ten weeks the pigs will have practically weaned themselves. CANADA'S LOYALTY. Our Neighbors to the South Praise Our Part in Great Struggle. Canada's part in the war is one of the most brilliant chapters in the world's history, says the Detroit Jour- nal, i a half nation of In two years and a o 8,000,000, trained in the arts of peace, indifferent to the manoeuvrings of war, has become a big factor on the battlefield and in the financial opera- tions on which military success is based. This peaceful, energetic neighbor of ours decided to raise en many of 50,- 000, increased it to 400,000 and is now aiming at 500,000, with certainty of success. A year before the war Canada's trade balance wns $430,000,000 on the wrong side; its exports for the pre- sent year exceed its imports by '1346,- 000,000. Though not fully developed indus- trially, the Dominion hes been able to provide fully for its armies, to manu- facture munitions for its allies and finance the payments, to raise millions for wee relief and to participate in British loans. Starting out with 00 loan from the mother country, Canada soots found, as the result of interior reforms forced, by the war, that she could pay her own way, and this she is doing un-! grudgingly.

Aunt ltlioda's Journey. `rho d r us - ham's €uodvaseconI Muiioldayoftofelt asCois; sheinGrahad known hien all her life, Cousin Gra. barn was famous among scientific men, but it was Jis oast' to tali, with him as if he were your "chum." Murid was euro that he would understand what Aunt Rhoda never could: all her long- ing' to do something Worth while and be something worth being—really to live, as Muriel had cried to herself un- 'c'ounted times. 'Lae said as much to Cousin Graham After dinner one evening, when Aunt Rhoda had'"rein in" to a neighbor's. Aunt Rhoda, although she had lived in the city for fifteen years, lived "just as if she were in the country," Muriel declared. . • She never made' calls, ex- eeegg,t upon the minister's wife; any 'wgre else she "ran in." "I don't see," Muriel said, hesitating a little over her words, "how Aunt Rhoda stands it, living the way she does." Cousin Graham looked up with quick interest. "You mean here in the city—when she ham a 'country heart? You're a shrewd young woman, upon my word! Maw did you ever guess it? And isn't it bully ---the pluck of her?" For a famous biologist Cousin Gra- ham had, for common use, a very in- formal vocabulary. Muriel had ob- served that before, but just now she was too puzzled by his misunder- standing to notice. "No, I didn't mean that exactly. I meant just not doing anything with tier life." Cousin Graham's keen eyes had a look now that made Muriel a little un- comfortable. "Not doing anything!" he echoed. "Why—" He broke off abruptly. "Ever go to market with her?" he asked. "Yes, sometimes," Muriel answered. "I did, once. I've never forgotten it. I've been over the world, but the most valuable trip I ever took was that one to market with Atilt Rhode." "What do you mean?" Muriel asked in perplexity. "What happened?" "Everything. Folklore, history, evolution, miracle." Cousin Graham smiled rather teas- ingly, but when he saw the utter be- wilderment 111 Muriel's face his voice changed. "8 mean it, little girl. To most pe- ple, market workers are persons of an- other world. Aunt Rhoda made their world hers. She had a long talk with an Italian fruit dealer; she knew eyery one of his children. She told me bits of their history afterwards and laughed over the way they were picking up Canadian slang. There was an old country -woman outside—' s' -e knew from what parts of her little place different flowers came. She had a bit of a treat for an old man and a special word for a boy at one of the stands. He had been in the juvenile court a couple of years before; heaven only knows how Aunt Rhoda got hold of him! There was more real living —more faith and hope and love and courage—in Aunt Rhoda's marketing than most of us get into a year!" The room was very still. Cousin Graham smiled—a warm, friendly smile. "Be sure you get your values right, little cousin," he said. Places to Save. Recent accomplishments hold out the hope that practical use may ul- timately. be made of every idle and apparently useless. element of life around us. Seaweeds are being turn- ed into useful drugs' and fertilizers, useful products are being made from sawdust, they are blowing coal -dust into furnaces and getting more heat units than from high-priced fuel; in- vestigators are getting new and valu- able products from coal tar, and now Australia has turned its national rab- bit pest into a real income -bearing asset, and the world may be encour- aged to seek farther for utilizing heretofore useless things. ( DYSPEPSIA OVERCOME Tone Up the Stomaoh with tfood'e Sareaperllta, When you have dyspepsia you life is miserable, You have a had, taste in your mouth, a tendorne$ at the pit of your stomach, a feeling of puffy fulness, headache, heart- burn,and sometimes nausea, Dyspepsia is difficult digestion—, that is what the word means—and the only way to get rid of it is to give .vigor and tono to the stomaej and the whole digestive system. Hood's Sarsaparilla, spld by 1,l1 druggists, is the one medicine whiell acts on the stomach through the blood coo d and also directly. Its bene- fleial effects are felt at once. Im; provement begins immediately. hood's Sarsaparilla purities the blood, makes the rich red blood that is needed for perfect digestion, and builds up the whole system,'Bo sure to get Ilood's, for no other medicine can take its place, Another important feature in favor of the milking machine, says a cor- respondent of The Nor' -West Farmer, is that when one comes from the field, tired and hot, it is easy and cool to let the machine do the work, as compared with sitting down among a bunch of cows. Kindness is a first essential, Let the buyer of a wild, panicky heifer lose no time in courting and winning her attention and affection. Then when the young cow has milk she will be ready for milking. She should at this time receive much caressing and pet- ting, and be made to feel that she is of consequence. Upon sitting down to her the first few times do not begin milking suddenly and harshly, but slowly, waiting for her to become ac- customed to it. "I raise all my cows and make it a rule never to buy any. It is a lesson I have had to learn." Thus spoke a keeper of a large dairy. He voiced the feelings of many who keep cows for profit, and the practise has more than sentiment in it. If the calves and young stock are not kept growing, with plenty of good food, up to the time of becoming cows, they lose, and it tells upon their quality in the dairy throughout their milking life. Many men who breed high-class stock and raise their calves, lose sight of this very important truth, and fail to secure the mature animals that the breeding ought to produce. A Wisconsin cow at 19 years of age produced 427 pounds of butterfat for the year. She had been fed silage all her life. There, says The Breeders' Gazette, is the answer for the occas- ional skeptic one still hears sometimes saying that silage is not a success, that the acid destroys the teeth, and eats out the lining of the stomach. Young chicks should not be given food that is liable to become soggy before it is digested. For young chicks provide lots of light, and warm air, a south exposure, and light, dry soil for scratching. The pens or brooder's must be roomy and built so that sunlight will get in. By cleaning these often, chicks are not liable to suffer from lice and ether ver- min. You should always keep a bottle of Chamberlain'. Stomach and Liver Tablets on the shelf. The littlefolk so often need a mild and safe cathartic and they do appreciate Chamberlain's - instead of nauseone0110 and mixtures.
