Seeding has been general through- out the province, although held back .in some districts 'cts h yc1 d weather. 'Orchards have also been retarded for the same reason. Dehorn Now, Says .Duncan "On the basis of approximately 700,009 beef cattle .slaughtered an- nually in Canada, more than $1175,- 000 is lost to the industry through 'horn bruising," said Garnet H. Dun- can; Ontario Marketing.' Board, When to Apply Fertilizer The opportune •time at which fer- tilizer applications should be made will be determined to some extent by the nature o.f the crop of the climate and of the 'fer'tilizer materials employ - ,ed. Speaking generally, most of the phosphatic and potassic fertilizers should be applied during the final cu'1- Itivationr of the land preparatory to seeding. The nitrogenous •featiiizer may he applied at the sane time, ` or when seeding, though sane prefer to 'reserve a portion (assuming it to be in immediately ,available form) for ap'pli cation as a top -dressing later on. Phosphatic fertilizers, intoend,ed for fall Wheat,: should be applied. in the fall, )but soluble nitrogenous fertilizers, like nitrate of sodla, s'ho:ttl.d be•applied to the wheat In the spring. Immediately after their ;application to the Thor- oughly prepared land, the fieri.lizers should be inc'oiiporated with the sur- face soil by means of harrowing or light cultivating. :In the treatment of pasture and hay lands the phosphlatnc and potassic ,fentilizers may be sown Ibefiore spring growth followed by one or more dressings of a nitrogenous fertilizer during the early part of the growing season. Elastic slag, when used for this tpturpose. should preferably be a'pp,lied in the fall, Plan ,Production Now. ` 'E. D. B'onniyman,` c'hlie poultry 'in- spector, at Ottawa, advises producers that now is the time to .make plans for producing market poultry, with the 6111 to view to regulate the pro- duction so that there will be a more even .supply coming on the market the year rotund. 'During the summer tivoriths there is aifwlays a scarcity of high quality, ;poultry, Particularly chickens, • and those that are marketed alt that' time are seldlolm the quality that commands the highest price.` Poultry is mostly bandied' today on G'overnmenit',gr a'd1es, and' price dif- ferentials have been fairly well estab- lished with the. premium always on the 'higher grades,' and the market for fresh liickens isgenerally at its bah ! imouths. claim lr S t e sal nm o It is within the reach of every pro- ducer to grow, some poultry ,that will qualify for A •Grade, which is the grade most in demand, add which commands the hi'ghes't price. , IPouiltry bo tonality for this grade must be well fatted and • fleshed, and only .birdls that have bean crate-tfat tened Dor two or three weeks , are likely to acquire this fin'ish. II f part ,of bhe poultry crop i•5 properly finished and marketed grad- ually through 'the'` summer month's, it will help to relieve the congestion in the Fall, and 'stabilize the market:. A Good Mash A very sa'tisfac'tory home - mixed mash for broold!er chicks may he com- posed of the fallowing 'one part each of 'shorts, rnid'dllings, yellow ,corn meal and ground' teat groats With one half part .of •aininval feeds made upof meat meal; fislla meal. but'termil'k polwder and .bone ureal in equal Iprolportt'ions: These in'gredients may be varied in proportion. a'c'cord- ing to )cast' and availability off ' the different feeds, the bone',neal, how- ever, remaining at the same level. In' addition, td " these ingredients, . one half ger cent of salt and two per of crude cod liver oil 'slhould: be', in- corporated into' • the mixture, When the birds are -on free range in the sunl'igh't, the oil nvaybe reduced to one percent or eliminated entirely. If milt in any form is available, the ani- mal, feeds of the mash may be cut dlown accordingly. I't seems desirable to emphasize the fact that fertilizers 'ca'nnot fully play their part in crop nutrition unless the soil is in good tilth.-Iit should be mei- low, warm, moist and well, aerated, and these 'favourable" conditions will be promoted by furnishing humus - forming material (as is barnyard ma- nure), drainage, if necessary, and a thorough h 'frequent working • - ' g' 4 - g of the sur face soil. 'Tlhe m.ech'anical condition or 'drilla'bility" of fertilizer materials and 'fertilizer mixtures is an important property towards their uniform dis- tribution.

H'O'W DOGS JOIN CIRCUS Night on the circus lot. The big top, shadowy, slim, even in the glare of the electric arcs atop the ticket wagon, had fallen, now to lie a flatten- ed mushroom upon the ground, while hurrying .canvas men unfastened the lacings, and the barking lot superin- tendent prepared for the lowering' of' 'bhe poles. One by my the big wagons were truckling 'toward the 'first smok- ing torch at a corner of the grounds,. the beacon light to, guide tired horses and mien toward the loading runs, a half mile away. The bull cars were loaded except for the three ,work ele- p'han,ts,-which heel been left on the lot for emergency, and 'which now, gray h•ulks .against the shafts' of light, were released at last and, obedient to the hook of the bull mane, were trund- ling in .satisfied fashion toward their rest for the night. The menagerie sup- erintendent approached. "That mutt still on the job? he asked. The bull tender nodded. Yes—over there. ISoui'eth'is,g stirred hi the shadows, came` forward a few steps, hesitated, then hurried into 'hiding again, The su,perintend ent grunted, "Looks 0.4. 'Watch him at the cars. I,E he stacks up, join him out" Again ,n.nod. Then the elephant bine went on, •while the shadowy trailer followed in the darkness, fearful of coming too close, yet' equally fearful, it seemed, Of dropping '-too far behind. It had, been thus for three nights. now --,a, disappearance in the daytime, a reappearance at night, when the steel loading runs 'were down' and the railroad yards a clatter o,f, shouts and grinding steel, as one after another the wagons of tate big show were load- ed for the nni'glh'. • Down Into ,the glare afthe electric lights and the carbides. Do'w'n to the, shouts of the razodbacics and polers,' the clatter .Of wagons, th,e' hollow pounding of horses traveling up the runes bo',the stock caws. At last the bull or elep'h'ant car. The three 'big hulks clambered tep'ward-and the buil man wlaited, standing far aside in the dark- ness. Again. a moment of hesitation, then'a cr•eelping something came for - 'yard, to slink to ,therrunway,-to pausle, ode foot slightly raised in preparation for .progress or flight—but there came no sound from .'the bull man; nothing save the shifting of the big brutes in the car, and the 'crulnld chi g of nary. IThe interloper toak a stePForw !forward, paused again, moved on once more, then with a sudden dart twas inside the ear and hidden to the hay. The bull elan turned. "Hey, 4�called ' I-Iey, eafyl" he called io a pass- ing property man. `Tell that there 'clog punk II .can fill up that • empty compartment in the wagon 'to -morrow. Jtst joined .one ontt." Which meant that the next day 'there would be a new occupant far the dog wagon of the circus; a new applicant for training, a new tnou'per, among the •cau'ine personnel of the show, one,that',would respond to ev- ery command,' for the simple ,reason that he had chosen Isis own lite; he had nun a'w'ay with the circus because he loved it and wanted it, ;because ate was a circus dog at heart, Wath the love of trouping ingrained :within him. Without 'knowing it he had passed an examination and -proved himself wor- thy of a life where there can. be ' no weaklings. The dog 'wagon of a circus is the custodian .of many a dog .history —and of the inside story of many a queer quirk in d'og nature. And to the name ,of .practically every occupant can 'be p'l'aced the . no'ta'tion:. "Present through his own know'led'ge and de- sire." To those of you who watch the var- ious trained -dog acts of a circus it may seem a difficult 'thin:g'to procure the various performers; perhaps you have ,Often !wondered where they canoe frown, holw they were trained; and in some cases you may have sorrowed a bit at the poor'an'imals, forced to Gra- vel along day by day, earning their living' by the performance of their tricks, `AI'1:of which is very sweet and pretty—but it is wrong in one p'artieu lar. In ninety -Eve ,cases out of a,h'und- red the circles dog is either there 'be- cause he has insisted on being there, and persisted even 'in spite of under- going hardships to he able to pass his examination, or the fact that he has -wandered with the circus and saved (vim fromN Of ' a chloroform room the' t nound,keeper. The circus dog as a gen- eral rule comes from only two ;places --the dog pound or the voluntary joining out of a canine who comes to the circus of his ,Own accord and in- sists upon staying with it—even to the extent of 'bumming his way from town to townl The remaining 5 per cent represent' the dogs belonging to the individual, performers, which perhaps have been purchased from other performers or trainers, or whic'h, like their human counterparts 'of the circus world, are of a long string of 'performing ances- tors, the .offspring taking .up the life of their forbears and carrying on the act. lIn these instances the values nun high; 'Alf Loyal's dogs, for instance, with the Ringling ,Brothers-1B'arntin and Bailey 'Circus, are worth a young fortune, while Abe, Aronson's rabbit and elephant dogs are insured for sev- eral thousand dollars, 63ut even here and there among these valued dogs are others, performing as well, and valued as highly, w -hose past could be written in a continuous chapter of back alleys and )weird escapes from the dog catcher, • Nor is every dog which joins the circus taken along merely as a•,perfer- mer. Quite the opposite There are mare canines outside the ringin big a show, each with his or her job,. than ever a,ppear under the big top. There is the elephant dog,' for instance, trained to remain around bi ani- mals, to trot wider their heels to ap- pear -pear without warning fr'olm one side or another, or to stand - in Wont of t'h,em.an'd ,Bank or .snarl—to sleep with them in the big hull car at nights, ,and, chief of all, to keep ,other clogs froth the .vicinity of that herd. Upon that dog, often a nondescript, does the safety off .the show often rest, and 5or one very ,goold 'reason: Elephants seem to have a strange 'fascination for ,dogs,. while to an ieleplian't a dog is a fear - Some 'be'a'st, ,breediti.g fear an.d'trepida- tion, acrd forming one of the 'best ex- cuses ever invented for a ,pan'iel 'H,en:ce the elephant,dog, to which the big mammals become accustomed, and upon,whiclt they eventually come to look as a sort of protector, acting, in the final :analysis, in the same 'fash- ion as a pacifier to a mammoth baby. !Then, too, there are the menagerie dogs—just dogs, with apparently no purpose in like 'except to trot around the menagerie or sleep beneath a cage. Bit• they all have their duties, There 'are the -ones '.which accompany the led stock—any animal which can be led' by a 'halter is known in the eir cis as led stock—and which knows' every member .of that' dep'artmen't. More than once, when on the check- up at night, a zebra or llama, is found to be m'is's'in'g, the led -stook clog is de- parted also, not to appear again until that missing animal is accounted for and presented ..at the runs, with the dog nipping at its heels. In circus history there is even the cas'e of Scitty, a little Scotch terrier, rescued from a dog,pound, her puppies ohlorofortned, and a baby lion given into her keeping to raise. Which task the performed, with the result . that Khiser is now a'feature lion of the 'menagerie of a ,big oircu's„ while Scot- ty sleeps in a little •silk -lined casket, her life 5 • hortened 'because tof h•er'faith- ful sacrifices to a king •of beasts. The ,dog who goes to the circus iin 'dergoes a period of apprenticeship 'w'lfOch lasts for ,days, and for hundreds of miles of travel, The likely dog -usu- ally follows the parade to the circus grounds, there to tlo'af about under the cages or trail some particular hostler or menagerie man until that person takes cognizance of him, Which does- n't happen until night comes, the cir- cus has travelled to the 'train—and the dog is still in evidence. "If the circus is "full asp" the , dog stays behind. But if there is an open- ing for a good Faithful dog that likes the show life there is a gruff command just as the "high 'ball" signal sounds, then a scramble as the clog is tossed to one of the flat cars, there to find a bed as best he may beneath a wagon or upon a pile of canvas. Thus he spends the first,night, in the open up- on a jolting flat car, „with every pos- sible opportunity to think i11 all over and decide whether or not he really wants this rough -anal -tumble exist - once. The 'text morning, when the circus goes to the lot—and if he goes with it—'he nisy 'he fed or he may not. Usually not, If that dog, Wants the circus life sufficiently he'll find a way to exist and still rcniain, When night comes again, df Inc is a weakling he'll not he present at ;the loading ruts, having'found an easier existence. But in nine cases out of ten there he'll ,be, wii • ng ,an c begging to be Put aboard again. When the third night comes he usually finds a •way of jumping aboard' himself and when die shows .up • on the fourth morning; satisfied and happy, there is a gruff verdict -and a new oc- cupant for the dog wagon. I --Ie has won, his place as a circus dog, ,just as any candidate wins a ,position, . through. merit and being the dog fitted for the p lace. Nor is the dog which comes to the circus a circus dog immediately upon his arrival. 'Instead, 'for a -week or so, he is a dejected individual, seamed at, mistreated by the rest' o,f the pack, tied to his own picket pin, apart from the remainder at feeding tim•e,:. jailed in his cam:parttnent of the dog wagon when 'the rest are liberated: And all for the reason that there is nothing so clannish as The dog pack of, a cir- cus. Someway the members of that pack seem to realize that they are oc- cupan'ts of a different: life apart -from the common; ordinary dog,.wh•ich . only knows a home and a.master. A;circus dog never' fights singly. He 'ha's the whole pack to ;back hint np-'the wolf instinct strongly to the fore. And when a to'w'n dog crosses, the trail of a circus dog it is usually a ,battle to, the death, 'Therefore until the regula- tion pack becomes accustomed to the new arrival he is nothing but a hated tawmer, regarded with the strange sense of enmity which nuns, a11. the way through the circus world—and the attitude of the town World lto:ward it. Day after day, however, the other dogs see the newcolmer taken into the ring during the interim between the matinee and the night show, for train- ing. Gradually there conies the :under- standing that he, too, is, a circus dog; then the growling and snarling cease. No longer does he stand apart at his picket pin. He is a part of the pack, as read f h. y .as any o the rest to set ,upon and kill any towner dog that comes his way. ITIREA'TY WITH FRANCE Ottawa. --The two treaties 'negotiat- ed between Canada and ,France were signed in Ottawa Friday and ta'bl- ed in the House of Commons late in the afternoon. They contained import- ant tariff concessions and are expect- ed to improve the trade between the two countries. They take the place of the 'treaty terminated a year ago. 'Canada gives France the British preference on seven items which in- clude several books and .periodicals, surgical instruments, hospital supplies. etc. France also gets a reduction be - love the intermediate tariff on a large. list of articles ranging from 10 per cent to in some cases 2'5 per cent. In addition to this on an extensive 'list the intermediate tariff is applied. Canada gets the minimum tariff on wheat, She gets a tariff as boil* as any other nation on canned salmon.
