Close attention must be given to both lambs, When lambs are not getting all the milk that they need from their mothers, they should be taught to drink cow's, milk from a bottle or pan. GRAIN FEEDING. When the lambs are two or three weeks old they will start nibblingat grain, hay -or grass. At this time they should be encouraged to eat by placing choice bits of fodder and grain in a • .omali feedoug w ere they can reach it without being disturbed by the older sheep, Bran, ground oats, cracked corn and oil cake meal are very idesirable concentrates for Iambs, The amount of grain to feed will de- pend largely upon the use that it is desired to make of those lambs. Lambs for the f‘hot-houte lain" trade require liberal grain feeding, while those for haeediag, or ordinary markets, should be limited within the bounds of profit- able feeding. With lambs for exhibi- tion, custs are sometimes of secondary importance arid the grain feeding is • more liberal than it is with the lambs • of the breeding or market type. Lambs that are grain -fed will .reach market weight six or eight weeks earlier than those not receiving grain • until the commencement of the fattening period. 118 When piaio fperl,,w is oo l'iberale, ofeecels. radndanitogteas sin t as mr4.07;ss, ; thiu;:7dstiv,,a.,.n:li:46111:alm:Iltfel.* ' prailtahle feeding.

' Not only does it destroy many of the hardier weeds and grass- es which begin growth early, but it gives the air freer access into the soil, warming it up much more rapidly than if it were left compact, and thus favoring early growth of the plant, • whether it he a fruit tree, bush fruit, or herbaceous perennial. • By cultivating the scil early in the spring, also, moisture will be con- served, and later in the season the moisture saved in this way might , snake a great difference in the value of the crop. Moreover, the loosening of the soil early in the spring makes It possible for rain to sink rapidly dato the ground and so prevent much evaporation of it which otherwise last few years by the inclusion of a might take place. By ,calth ging , little agricaltare but even that too very early and than cultivating agaitil often ends at the scheol house door. Do after spring rains conditions should be not social ambitions in many rural places run directly away from the farm? ."A lad o' pairts" is generally encouraged to look forward to; if he Is. not from early youth set aside for, a efty job. It hap become altiost a fashion of late in Canadian cities for someone .to compile a list of country- bted boys who have "made good"' in • the city. *Yet, With almost half eur population in urban'districts and with competition in the larger citieenearly as fierce as it is in the denser tentres of Europe, one may wonder if the real opportunities for the next flftY years will not be found in the coat*. Als read' the ,penclultim • has begun s to swing backwards and one hear a often- er than formerly a longing to be "ha& on the land." It would be more logical by early encouragement to retain on the land the boys and girls who, unconsciously, have already reached sfhigh stage of technical training in farming that to dee them drift into cities where they frequently waste that knowledge, in trying, often enough late in fifes to learn what others may be far hter fitted to undertake. • ceesses had their beginning's in an Sat.liftF'en the .fe.rnin ;" - TYPES OP eAkr1DA4S P1i1E1t,..g.-1N metzETSSSIns•.1..141) I;IVEST OO K. inherent love of livestock, often fos- tered only by an accideat. The impulse to note and watch and, study the little whims and oddities of farm animals, is inborn in boys and girls brought up in the country. • But it is strange that where among the stock on the farm the principle is recognized that "as the twig is bele so does the tree grow" it- is so Ethic applied to the human product. There may be many r awns why boys and girls leave the farm but perhaps the commonest is the failure to promote and‘fo'ster this Inborn love of farm laftor production ., can ,a permanent improvement in that,industry and in animald. imProvenient has In allied agriculture be looked for. Our place in rural school teaching in the livestock industry, based as it is di- rectly and unmistakably upon the sale of meat. foods after preparation by thernoit modern technical methods, must meet highly trained and highly organized ' competition from other countries. • It can only be successful when it can count upon the same qual- ities of intelligence and knowledge as other industries have. • One ef the most hopeful 'features in to -day's rural conditions is the spread of the snovenient.for livestock clubs for boys and 'girls. Such clubs are notably making progress in the PrOVince of Quebec and in sonte parts of the West. It is a healthful token fet Canadiat agriculture. ..Thos i most'closelY tonnected with the meat industry are mot convinced that only by the application of greater intelligence and atended knowledge ,m both produetion and in all that goes favorable for growth. • Sometimes just at blooming time, or as the fruit is setting, there is a very dry period. If thereis a good supply of moisture in the soil and the surface is loosened by cultivation the .chances of a good set of fruit will be much greater than If the conditions were just the reverse. Because of the great transpiration of moisture from a growing cover crop in an orchard in spring, it is of im- portance, where the soil is liable to get too' dry, to plow under the cover crop early in spring rather than to waif until there is a large crop of green material to plc,* under, as by that time much of the precious mois- ture supply will .have gone into the air. Plan then to begin -cultivation as Soon as it is possible to get on the land. -W. T. Macoun, Dominion Hor- ticulturist TOP& The wisest dairyman in the world cannot tell a prepotent buil by his looks or by his breeding. There is no known way of telling a valuable sire only by his progeny. If his heifers are better producers than their dams he is a good bull -worth his weight in gold; but if his heifers are no improvement over their dams, or if not so good, then he Is watthless as a sire. Who can tell what the result will be when you mate an unknown bull with poor cows? No man can. The most perfect individual, according to Stand- ards, might be absolutely worthless, plums are borne on spurs from wood two or more years old.ancl with these heading -in is not so desirable. Ex- perimental evidence obtained in ex- perhnent station tests indicate that winter pruning has no special advan- tage over sumnier pruning, except that the pressure of other work is less during the winter months. • Registered Poultry. The hens that qualified in last year's Dominion and Provincial laying con- tests are being inspected and the in- spectors report very satisfactory con- ditions upon the owners' plants. This nspection is for the purpose of seeing hat the birds are mated to approved males, and to discuss witthz the owners best methods- of marking their eggs nd chicks. In all Canada there are aboat 400 irds eligible for registration, these eying laid 200 or more eggs. Of this otal there are 160 in Ontario, The Ontario birds' are being looked over as Mr. Walter Scott of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, who ex- pects to visit each owner within the next week, or 10 clays. Already he has visited those that can be reached in groups. In the meantime owners of qualified birds should ,trapnest them, and mate them with good males which will be subject to Mr. &eft's approval , when he arrives. The chicks from , •i ' these matings' if properly marked, will be eligiblefor "Registration of ' Ilatchings" according to the instruc- tions already forwarded.-I'oultry Di- - vision, Central t xporimental Farm, Ottawa. , - . and if Ins tire was a proved prepotent bull and his dam had a world's record he might not have this unknown, mys- a terious power of prepotency. He might • transmit undesirable qualities instead b of desirable ones. Careful Priming Pays. Horticulturists assert that a great many orchardists prune too much without regard to the real, need of the tree. It is pointed out that with trees which were well selected when the orchard as set out it is necessary to -remove only occasional • ;branches which start out in the wrong place and to remove dead, injured, and crossed limbs. If the trees are bearing small fruits, if the tops contain Many dead branches,,or -if the seasonal growth is •,short and scant, judicious pruning is recommended as a means of rejuvena- tion, ;This uSuallY consiats in cutting . o. e - back many branches and in entirely removingthers.•Prunweakgrow- j • Bantams Not Merely Pets. ing varieties heavily; strong -growing Idncis lightly. yarieties which branch freey need littlop ing, those with many unbranched limbs, mach prun-; ing Prune trees in rich deep soils lightly; in poor, shallow soils heavily.'

We cannot take more complete possession than by setting the younger farm folk to "start where their fathers left off." Outstanding Wealth may not come to all even in the livestock industry any more than to those in a city's intim- tries but the probabilities are that those oil farms will have the far more healthful life and proud sense of in- dependence that almost inevitably go with country life. And at the last, for those whom nature has 'endowed with the magic love of livestock there'will be the inward contentment of which R. L. Steenson wrote: "If h man love the labor of his hand, apart from any question of success or failure, the gods have called him."

APPLICATION. , We read two accounts of David's Introduction to king Saul. In one istory David; the youngest Son of Jesse, a introduced as. the skilftil musician who 'charmed the evil spirit away from .Saul. In the second narrative he stp- aeats &it on the scento as the valiant antagonist of the giant Goliath. Saul's Interest was aroased by this unexpects ed feat, and he made Inquiries con- cerning David's antecedents. (See 1 Sam. 17:65.) 'These two traditions were current w en the biographer of David sat down to hie task, and it did not occur to him to attempt the modern idea of harmonizing them. Aayway the two accounts suggest two prominent fea- tures' of David's character, -the "poet - soldier." And yet these two words come far short of describing the wide range and richness of David's person- ality and wonderful career. mmer. tl The first requaremen,t of young chicks is .averniths , The, temperature should. be;abotit 9,8"nt: 1.4 degrees on O level with theitlaaiii befere 'they are placed in the'firooder'ione.'

S., Huron go., writes: "I ani told that the soil of my farm wants an application of lime Before aneslY- ing I should like to know something about lime and its effects." You cannot do better than write to the Publications Branch, Ottawa, and ask for Bulletin No. 80, on "Lime in Agriculture" and for Bulletin No. 8, New Series, on "Fertilizers for Field Craps." Aa' you do not give the na- ture of your soil, it is impossible to say definitely what it requires, but the publications referred to will prob- ably tell all you wish to know. Briefly, ground limestone and marl are pre- ferable for light, sandy, and gravelly looms and lime or slaked lime for heavy Clays. Dr. ---Shutt, Dominion Chemist, says, that. on soils rich in organic matter, including mucks arid peatty looms, the more caustic forms, such 4s quicklime and slaked lime, may be used, and in fairly large am- ounts, as much as two to four tons per acre 0 strong acidity of soil is s shown.

Before the world war the Germans considered cutting down these trees planted by the Frenet, butthe forestry experts advised waiting until 1920, when they would be fully matured According to the best estimates this delay wet the German empire at least 500,000,000 francs.
