THE FRENCH-CANADIAN HORSE. f e The French-Canadian horse, which fi ­ is comparatively little known outside the province of Quebec, is claimed to t be one of the most durable and other- 0 wise useful horses to be found any- v where- in Canada. in bulletin 95 Of e , the Experimental Farms, the author, , Mr. Gus.� Langelier, points out that t this breed Is descended from the old a time French-Canadian pony, sent from I France to Canada by Louis XIV. t These ponies were of the best that V ,could be procured in their native land. They remained for three years the S property of the king, and were then u distributed among the farmers Of Can- i ada, in order to encourage the de- s velopment of agriculture. a Some years ago the Pedigree re- t cords for the French-Canadian horse, I , maintained by the Quebec Govern- o ment, were transferred to the Nation- t al Live Stock Records. Other steps 'I have been taken to maintain the breed v � possible. One of the latest f as pure as I methods, as polubad out in the bulle- f tin, which can,be obtained from the t Publications Branch Of the 'Depart- ment or Agriculture, Ottawa, has been tile establishment of a horse breeding , twenty-five miles -farm at St. Joachim, ,east of Quebec City. This farm, which is operated under the Experimental I iarms sySwul, has thirty well -selected c brood mares. These, together with fif- I teen of 0111allar quality, kepton the Ex- I perimental Station at Cap Rouge, I Que., form a collection from which It I Is hoped to produce a superior new foundation stock for the breed. ------------ r— 3LE FOR PUBLICATIONS AVAILAI DISTRIBUTION. . — The Department of Agieulture at Ottawa includes In its i vailable pub- lications some four hundred titles which embrace practically every phase of farming in Its broadest sense in Canada. The now list recently is- sued contains thirty new .publications which relate to dairying, field crops, insect and plant diseases, live stock, the orchard and garden, and poultry. . In the miscellaneous list is included , 11 "The Use of Coarse "Farm Feeds# Grain for Human Food," and a new edition of .The Maple Sugar Industry in Canada', All these publications .are for t& free use Of the citizens Of -Canada and are obtainable for the ask- ing from the Publications Branch of - the Department -of Agriculture at Ot- Aawa. ------ � I OVERFEEDING CALVES. Overfeeding is one of the common ,,causes of scours in hand -raised calves, (says Professor 10 H. Eckles, of the University of Minn;sota). It is a migtake, to think that because the cream has been removed the -calf needs More of the skim milk, or that because the calf Is not doing well It is not getting enough milk . The Calf gulps its milk down so quickly that its appetite is only half satisfied even when gtttingag Much as it can digest. Agood, rule Is always to keep the calf a little hungry. it It does not show a strong appetite for more than it gets something is wrong with either the calf or the amount of milk given. The amount to be given varies with the age and size of the animal. At the age of two or three weekg whet' first started on ,skim milk, frovA three, to Irtl- our quarts of milk at feeding IF, nough. At no time is it necessary ur quarts of milk at a feeding is If the milk supply is abundant, up o five quarts can be fed to calves ver three months old. The only safe ay is to regulate the amount of milk ach animal receives by feeding in eparate pails. Allowing two to drink ogether from a bucket or several from trough is a bad practice, and will ead to ,sickness sooner or later. By lie time the calf is a month old it Ill begin to eat some grain and hould be -given as much as it will eat p clean. On the ,first indication of ndigestion-generally shown by a trong odor from the manure -the mount of milk should be out down o one-third for two or three feedings. t generally helps matters to give 3 zs. of castor oil in a pall of milk to he animal showing the first signs of ndigestion. it is far easier to pro- ent than to cure scours, and care- ul attention to the amouint of milk ed will help greatly in preventing hese troubles. Why Plough Clover Under? I am very partial to the practice of toughing under the second growth of lover late in the'fall or very early n the spring. one reason for Plough - ng under t>e second growth of clover s that the roots build up the fertility f the soil below the ploughed soil, which is very important In the produc- tion Of crops. Late in the fall the clover plants move -a large part of the food materials from the tops to the roots, and part of these materials will be stored In the roote of the clover below the line of ploughing, and as the clover roots decompose there will be furnished available food for the succeeding crop. If the tops be cut off by ploughing, the food stored in the roots will remain at a -good depth to decay and supply food for coming crops. This not Only builds up the humus and plant food in the soil deeper than it can be ploughed, ,but the perforation of the subsoil by these roots will Permit of a deeper aeration and storage for moisture. It the ploughing Is not done until late in the spring after considerable growth has been made, these food materials which were stored in the roots in the fall will be moved up an4 used In making growth, and It ther Ploughed under the tendency will bc to make the ploughed soil more for tile Instead of the deeper soil; an� when the ploughed soil only Is for tile, the roots of crops will remalt largely In the ploughed soil, and whei this becomes dry in a time of drought the crops may suffer for lack of moiE ture, I A PRECAUTION.

ROBLEM OF ORIGIN OF EELS IS SOLVED as Occupied Deep Sea Scien- tists for the Last Century ' The question of the origin of eels, hich was raised by Aristotle 2,200 3ars ago and has occupied deep sea qentists for the last century, has not �en finally solved by an expedition �omoted by Danish scientific men, .id effectively supported by Council. ,r Anderson, manager of the East slatic Company, who put the four. Lasted motor-Bhip, Dana, at their dis- DBal. The expedition has discovered that als, leaving northwest Europe In the utumn, emigrate to their breeding lace near the West Indies, where Duditions for the development of ieIr larvae are favorable. The larvae fterwards make their way back to [le places from which their parents tarted on the European coasts. This discovery is not only of geo- raphical interest, but will also yield ery practical results. The supply of els In the breeding places is Inex- austible, and there will be an unlimit- d supply of eel food for European ountries. I Eels only undertake the journey rom and back to the breeding place ,nee In their lives. I r� I Concrete'Ai3proaches to Barns Fa­mers and the smaller contrac- trs somehow can" get over the idi�a If Douring the concrete walls across loorways when pouring the concrete oundations for barns and other farm mildings. This causes much grief Lfterwards. The live stock and work- )rs have to got over more or less of t hurdle to get in or out of a building -and that all too often is in or out )f a mudhole just on the outside of the loor. It is not only inconvenient, but langerous at times. A better way to do is to pour only he fotmdation footings across door - mays.' Then when the interior con- , ,rete can be run right over these foot-. ngs and continued for several feet on -he outside of the doors. The con- , ,rote approach on the outside of the loors is sloped away from the doors ind cross -ribbed so as to make It per- lectly safe. The concrete approach is a great advantage in many ways: Less mud Is trAcked into the barn, and Darts or other vehicles can readily be run In or out without the necessity of running around to find planks to take the usual concrete hurdle. � Change of Pasture Good for Sheep Jn order to keep . stomach worms out of their sheep many farmers change pasture every three or four weeks. This is about the only way stomach worms, which kill a good many sheep in the early summer, can be controlled. Several remedies have been advocated, such as the use of gasoline or copper sulphate, but they are somewhat difficult to administer and cannot be relied on. Prevention is the best method known. Tt is advo. eat�-d that care be. taken wit to ovor- ptisture or crowd, and nbawza pasturs three or fo,ir dines during t le surl- mer if possible When changoi are inade a pasture should be lef-. vacant about t"bree or' four weeks, sireA, it taltes from two t) three wevlis for the worms to develop and die. Excessive play in the main shaft of the gearset may cause the gear shift- er lever to be forced out of position. Usually the front bearing on the main shaft is shimmed, so that the condi- tion is easily remedial. End play in this shaft also may be the cause of chattering in the clutch and a buck- ing when the car is on a grade or otherwise pulling hard under load. If this is. not corrected In time, the shaft play may cause permanent injury to the gears, The History of a Name McCAULEY VARIATIONS -Macaulay, MacAulay, MacAuliff, McAwley, MacGawley, Magauly, McCawley, McCaulaY, Wythe, McCaulley.
