I have known'of many cases where
stubble ground which was"to be put
into oats or some cultivated crop was
burned over for the,,eole purpose of
malting plowing appear ensierl The
man who robs land in that way, even
if the land is his own, ought to be in-
dicted for robbery mid prosecute& to
the full extent of the law! Such wil-
ful destruction of the most vital ele-
ment in the maintenance of soil fer-
tility and •tilth is certainly, criminal,
not only against the present but
against future generations. It is this
disregard :for the preservation and
turning uncles of humus making ma-
terials which has done more than a0 -
thing else to causethe abandonment of
so many farms in older sections of the
country—this is what causes the land
to "run down," "run out" and become
worthless for agricultural purposes
until the humus is restored,
It is very fortunate that public
sentiment is being educated and ,.n-
dergoing marked changes in this nat-
ter. Most everyone who was raised
it the grain growing section of our
country can well remember when it
was the regular custom to burn near-
ly all of the stubble land, large stacks
of straw, and thousands upon thous
and of acres of cornstalks. Now
most of us see that such wholesale
destruction was sheer wastefulness.

and Hampshire ewes of good confo3'm-
ation and a Southdown rani: Thin
erose( has always produced a lamb of
quality for me that commands a top
price.
Raising eddy lambs is a profitable
business on any Ontario farm; The
lambs are finished.end marketed early
and the ewes are ehehred during April.
At that. season -thee fleece is in first-
class condition and` -will command a
good price in the wool market, The
wool helps to pay for the cost of feed.
And the manure is a rich 'fertilizer
that is worth all the straw and rogh-
age used tp make' it.
I consider it costs ine about two
cents a day to feed a sheep, because I
raise all the rations and roughage on
the fariui.. Under my system of rais-
ing sheep, I buy the eaves at the stock-
yard in July, and the same animals
are conditioned for market and sold
the following Marr or April.
Indications point to high prices for
early 'lambs this coming spring, and
ewe sheep will cost considerably more
than in 1916 and 1917, but I believe--
the
elievethe price of hothouse lambs will sell
in proportion to the cost of production.
My method of handling sheep should
oppeal to the busy farmer who has
limited pasture land and little waste
ground. It gives an incentive to raise.
sheep because the system has many
features that must appeal to the busi-
ness farmer. The net profit is great
on the capital invested, and the work.
of sating for the sheep comes after
the outside labor is over and the sheep
orb sold boforg,.•the next .year's work
begins. The price of lamb and mut-
ton is high; and will remain above the
old figures for a long time, I am sure.

Thousands of dollars worth: of or-

Ontario.. Any manufacturer who
would be so wasteful.ofa by-product
would deserve to fail.
Other thousands are ost by the burn-
ing of the vegetable mold, leaves, and
twigs whi�"- are present in newly
cleared land. Fire, because of its
terrible power to destroy organic mat-
ter, has been used from the earliest
times Sri clearing land. Undoubtedly
fire is doing much more good than
harm when one uses it to burn large
log heaps, or big brush piles, but great
care should be taken to burn these at
a time when it is damp enough to-pre-
ventthe fire from spreading and burn-
ing the leaves; twigs and leaf mold
over the entire clearing. By allowing
the fire to cover the entire clearing
one ,may destroy as much plant food
in the form of organic matter as he
can replace by rotating crops for the
next eight or ten years.
No fire should be started on the
farm unless its purpose is quite de-
finite and useful. By exercising the
proper care along the lines outlined
above Ontario farmers may, instead
of wantonly destroying it, turn mil-
lions of dollars worth of humus -mak-
ing materials into gold that will clink
in their pockets and aid in swelling the
profits of the farm.
Every year at the beginning of win-
ter -many poultry keepers are disap-'
pointed and puzzled by the failure of
apparently well grown pullets to lay
according to expectation. They can;
not understand why 'early pullets that •
seemed .to be developing nicely and
show the usual signs of being near ;
laying should remain at that stage
for weeks and sometimes for months.

"It has been clearly demonstrated
that the good dairy cow is a more
economical prgducer than any other
farm animal," says Prof, E. S. Archi-
bald, Dominion Animal Husbandman.
"Not only does she actually yield more
product from a given amount of feed,
but she does that at the least cost
and the greatest profit."
"Notwithstanding these facts, the
production of milk and_ fat from the
average cow is exceedingly low, being
approximately 3,800 pounds of milk
and 130 pounds of fat per annum,
which in value is less than the total
cost of production. Nevertheless, it
has been clearly demonstrated that
by better 'feeding find management
thisaverage may be easily increased
from 30 to 80 ole with 'an increased
cost of feed and labor of only 10 to 20
per cent,; the margin would be largely
profit. Such an increase is not only
a financial necessity but .the patriotic
duty of every dairy farmer."

Gooch Action. in 'Draft Heroes.
Size and power are of little va...e if
the draft horse has not enough - :.ion
to handle his big weight in an effie.ert•
manner .. The action of the draft horse should
be 'bold, donna and somewhat ety.ish.
The feet should be dueled to hard
and back' in a *straight line without
paddling, winging, or other xcx ,Fal-
arities of gait. It is necessary that
the feet move straight and smooth in
order to get the best and greatest
stride with the least energy.
Iinee action in a draft berth is not
important. A long stride which
covers considerable ground is much'
more important than high knee ac-

is wanted in the draft horse. fI'
'1 The walk is the important gait. It
should be true and snappy and h:rae
a good length of stride. The action
of all four legs shotld'be strong. and
the movements of the knees and hocks
free, without indication of shagging'
or stiffness.
Although the walk is more import-
ant from a working standpoint, it is
necessary to note an animal's action
in trotting because' defects in action
are more perceptible when 'trot'ing
than when walking.
In trotting there should bo a clean.
