The Lucknow Sentinel reports the following prize -winners at the On- tario Fat Stock Show :—Robert Dur- nin, for instance, took down a Dur- ham calf, 14 months old, a beauty, which was raised by Wm. Johnston of Kintail, and which weighed when exhibited 1230 pounds, and took &et prize at Toronto and Quelph. He si Id it afterwards at 10c per pound. Ft r a black Polled Angus calf which weighed 1050 pounds he got 4t'i prize. The latter can beat the prize winning Chicago calf at Toronto, and the owner of the latter was so angry that he would not exhibit at Guelph. R McAllister of West Wawanosh was there also with a 10 -months -old Dur - harp calf. Ile won 3rd prize at Guelph and took sweepstakes for Huron county against all comers in the amateur class. Afterwards tbe lucky young bovine was sold for 7 cents per pound. Baby In Dentist's Chair. The youngest patient to visit a den- tist's office in Russellville, Arkansas?, if not in the entire country, is tt e two and one-half months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Fanning, who had two front teeth extracted. The teeth were pulled by Dr. A, J. Caisson, who says it is the first case of the kind in bis experience. Twin babes were born to Mr. and Mrs, Fanning in October last. Both were well develop- ed and healthy, but the attending physicians and relatives were surpris- ed when they discovered that one of the tiny babes had a "tiny tooth." Three days listter a second tooth ap- peared. As the teeth developed they grew crossed, and the family physi- cian advised the parents to have the teeth nulled as soon as the baby was old enough to visit the dentist. One of the teeth had a fully developed root, but the little patient showed no signs of pain. ,Railway Construction. It is reported that the Canadian Pacific Railway's Ontario programme for 1012 will mean the destruction of over 450 miles of railway. The To- ronto -Montreal route through the Lake Ontario towns, is one. Another is from Hamilton to St. Catharines, Weiland and Port Colborne. A third line, it is said, will be from Ingersoll north, connecting with the Port Bur- well branch and the St. Thomas branch, passing through Embro, Tavi- stock, and Shakespeare, about eight miles east of Stratford, Goderich, einelph and Listowel lines at tine - weed, then on to Arthur, crossing its Owen Sound lines near Dundalk and terminating at Collingwood. It is also said that the company intends extending the St. Marys line to Lake Huron and passing through Exeter, possibly to Sarnia. Another propos- ed line is from St. Mary's to connect with the Goderich line near Godericb, passing through Mitchell, Dublin and Seaforth. A MODERN MIRACLE. He Had Eczema 25 Years And Doctors Said "No Cure." Yet Zam-Buk Has Worked Com- plete Cure, This is the experience of a man of high reputation, widely known in Montreal. and whose case can readily be investigated. Mr. T. M, Marsh, the gentleman referred to, lives at 101 Delorimier Avenue, Montreal, and has lived there for years. For twen- ty-five yetrs be had eczema on his hands and wrists. The dbwaSe first started in red blotches, which itched, and when scratched became painful. Bad sores followed, which discharged, and the discharge spread the disease until his hands were One raw, painful tnais of sores. This state of affairs continued for twenty-five years1 In that time for eminent medical men tried to cure him, and each gave tbe case as hopeless. Naturally, Mr. Mart h tried remedies of all kind..., but he, also, at last gave it up. For two years he bad to wear gloves day and night so terrible was the pain and itching when the air got to the sores.

Tan Nothing Like Postures for Hags Hogs can withstand close confino. ment and forced feeding fairly well, but when given a large range to roam over they respond to it with rapid growth, health and vigor. The succulent growth is consum.ed for boy mamtenanpe, and the building of muscle, tissue and bone. A small amount of concentrated grains are fed in addition, which supply the ne- cessary carbohydrates for the build- ing of fat tissue as well as the pro- duetion of heat and energy, The labor entailed in taking care Of a large herd of hogs on pasture is a very email item, compared with a similar herd of hogs winch are closely confined, Hogs on pasture devote most of their time to grazing during RON. GEORGE P. GRAHAM George Graham who was reared in the cheese district of Brockville, Out., is a real son of the soil. the day. In the evening some grain Is fed to them scattered on the ground which they -gather slowly, masticating it thoroughly. A well in the hog pasture supplies the necessary drink- ing water for the older pigs. Young pigs should be liberally fed on skim -milk and swill until such time as they will make satisfactory gains on cheaper feeds. Hogs fed on high priced grains and soiling crops, combined with the large amount of labor required to take care of them, would raise the cost of production above the selling price._ For early spring pasture, I con- sider winter rye the best. Alfalfa ranks first for summer pasture, as it furnishes an abundant supply of leaves, The hogs like it very much. Moreover, it is a permanent pasture and a rapid grower. Iror late summer and fall pasture, rape is equal to al- falfa. Rape will furnish a good sup- ply of succulent feed six weeks after seeding on a rich soil. It remains green late in the fall. When frost becomes too severe it stops ,growing. An acre of land • will support about twelve growing pigs for the wlible season, provided the pasture is divided so that two helves can be pastured off alternately. FEEDING DAIRY BY-PRODUCTS What is the money value of skim milk for feeding hogs? Most of us 'place on it an arbitrary value at so much a hundred, generally 20 cts., and always calculate the value of skim milk by that standard. I have found by experience, however, that the value of the skim milk depends on the condition in which it is fed and the amount that is fed in propor- tion to other feeds. I now find on looking over Henry's "Feeds and Feeding", which is my guide in all feeding operations, that experiments tarried on at the Wisconsin Station uphold my belief. Henry reports that when corn is valued at $25 a ton, about what we pay for it at present, skim milk is worth 37 cts. when one to three pounds of milk is fed to one pound of corn meal. When seven to nine pounds are fed it is worth 23 cts„ and an average of all the trials at the Station show that it is worth 25 to 26 cts. with corn at $25. The most of us have not put suffi- cient value on skim milk as a feed for swine. If we can buy it at 20 cts, and feed it in moderate quantities, it is one of the most economical feeds that we can use. For brood sows and young pigs it is almost a necessity. New Use for Gninea-Plgs A novel experhnent has been tried in England in which guinea -pigs were substituted for the lawn-moyer and weed killer on private lawns and golf grounds. These little animals clear a lawn of grass and weeds as closely as if a lawn-raower had been run over it. A low wire barrier ar- ranged around the lawn and a number of guinea -pigs are turned Into tee en- elosure, or a passage made from their hutch .to the lawn. According to an English paper, the animals attack at once all the worse weeds — the plan- tains first, then the dandelions and daisies. These broad-leaved plants, which no mowing -machine Will touch, are killed by the persietent cutting of the guinea -pigs' teeth. When they have finished the weeds, which are broad-leaved and succulent, they pro- ceed to the grass. Good Laying Records. A Greene Cpunty, Pm, poultryman from 12 Bleak Minorca hens secured 20 dozen and three eggs during March, an average of 20% eggs for each ben. Last March was an exceptionally cold and stormy one in Pennsylvania, J. K. Adamsonof the same comity, with Rose Cornb 'White Leghorns from 45 pullets produced 952 eggs In Mareh, an average of slightly over 21 per hen.

If the common hens are kept, and chickens raised from them and the pure bred rooster, there will be a great improvement in the common stock, As for quality, a person might go in for prizewinning quality (show birds) that probably will not lay enough. to pay for their keep, or pro- ducing quality, with "200 eggs per year, per hen" as their objective point. Quality of flesh is a matter of feeding, provided the poultry are a table or general purpose variety. Productivity and eatability are a gOod combination to work for, and good results have already been obtained. There are several good general pur- pose varieties that combine the use- ful qualities with a good appearance, Without using trapnests it is diffi- cult to really improve a flock in pro- ductivity as the best layers have to be picked out and bred to males from other good layers. As far as the - ordinary farm flock is concerned there should be new blood introduced from time to time and the culls dis- posed of out of the flock, which is about the only improvement which can be effected without going into the trapnest system. PURPOSE OF GRIT FOR POULTRY A regular supply of grit. or sharp gravel is required by poultry of all sorts to aid them in the digestion of their food. Having no teeth, fowls cannot masticate their food, but every particle of food they eat passes through the gizzard after leaving the crop. The gizzard may be described as a mill for pulverizing all tne food which passes between its two grinding sur- faces. But these surfaces, being of a tough, flexible, and not of a hard na- ture, cannot of themselves grind the food. It is, therefore, necessary that fowls should pick up grit at regular intervals, which passes with the food through the gizzard, and helps, by the movements of the surfaces of the giz- zard, to grind the food passing thence with the food through the bowels. Any attempt of the gizzard to pul- verise food without the help of grit would be as futile as the attempt of the toothless saw of the stone -cutter to divide a rock unaided by sand. Fowls that have a run containing gravel need not be supplied with ar- tificial grit, but those that are closely confined in small runs require a sup- ply of some such grit as sharp gravel, broken flint, limestone, etc. All laying fowl need a regular sup- ply of old mortar, or some material containing lime, for shell -making. The need of .this often causes poultry to lay thin shelled or shelless eggs. MARE VERY THIN Many mares become thin in flesh and remain so while suckling a colt, regaining their usual condition when the colt is weaned. In this case how- ever, there is a persistent high tem- perature, which would indicate that there is a very serious distrubance of the whole system from v'me cause other than the suckling of the colt. We suspect the. cause to be "sepsis," infectious material which has con- taminated the blood stream from tho womb, at or soon after foaling. The case must be treated with tonic me- dicine and good food. The colt must be weaned as early as possible. Give the following medicine, dissolved in a pint of cold water, as a drench three times a day: Quinine,: one dram; tincture of iron, half an ounce (dis- solve the quiiiine in the tincture of iron); tincture of gentian, half an ounce. If she has worms this medi- cine will hasten their expulsion. A SILO WORTH $100 A YEAR I find the silo a most profitable investment, says a well known farmer. The silo methcd of feeding, even at the extra expense, is greatly in ad- vance of the old method of feeding dry fodder corn. Our silo is of wood, 14% by 30 ft. The staves are on a 2 -ft, 9 -In, cement foundation. The cost was in the neighborhood of $125, not including my own labor. I can safely say that I can feed one.; third more stock than formerly, as I can rnix cut straw with the silage, but not with corn fodder. Tho stock looks more thrifty and the milk flow has increased. Before 1 built the silo I wintered only one milk cow each year, as I did not consider winter dairying profitable. This same cow doubled her flow on silage. 1 now keep four winter cows and had 1 more help would keep 10. find it hard to place a money value on my silo. I once heard one of the best farmers in Ontario say that he would not be without his silo for $100 a year, a'nd after having used one I am about of his opinion. Canadian Thistles To kill Canadian thistles tate it at its weakest point. This is whoa it is in blossom. At this time it has drawn heavily on the food stored up in its roots. Mow it and plow at once; then plow often enough So that no thistle is allowed to get up. Keep at this until fall and the thistle will be dead. If this treatment is begun bo. fore they are in blossom it will be harder to kill them as they will in that case have more food in the roots to help bridge them over. ,rocommord.c. Resisted Arrest.

Dread Havoc Wrought by Tuberculosis Amongst Badly Housed Cattle. The greatest enemy to the farmer, dairyman, stockbreeder, and general public is a diocese known under the name of tuberculosis, It is tho enemy of the three first named bemuse its ravages among cattle cause the loss of millions of dollars, and to the gen- eral public because more people suffer from and. die of this disease than all other communicable diseases put to- gether, A Preventable Disease It is a preventable disease, but be- fore any malted results can be made in the fight tiow being waged against it in all parts of the civilized world it is necessary that the peePlo Inter- ested in the farming and, cattle in- dustries should thoroughly anderstand the cause of the disease, the manner In wheh it is spread from one animal to another, and the best methods of fighting against it. The disease is caused by the tuber- cle" bacillus, a gettn so small that a special measurement called a "Mu" has been invented to describe 't. A mu Is one twenty-fifth-thousaaath part of one inch, and the tubercle bacillus is from one to three m In length, Although it is so small that it cannot be seen by the naked eye, it grows at such an enormous rate un- der favorable conditions that the re- sult can readily be seen. The bacilli are like short rods In shape. Favorable Conditions. The most favorable conditions for the growth of the tubercle bacillus is darkness, dampness, general un- cleanliness, and bad air, and unfor- tunately large numbers of cow stables are built where these very conditions exist—windows, If any, small and dirty, or with lean-to sheds shutting out the light; wooden doors which absorb much liquid manure; and no ventilation. Can it be wondered that our co 'vs, Which in this country are, often stabled for four or five months during the winter, under these very con- ditions, get the disease? It is very rarely found in the range cattle, that live and are fed out doors the year round, and the reason is because they get lots of fresh air, sunshine, and exercise, and the tubercle bacilli are more rapidly killed by sunshine than anything else. Dairy cows need to be kept under the most healthy conditions to thrive. It is a great strain on the vitality of a cow herself to be milked twice daily for days together, and if she is not well fed, provided with fresh air and sunlght, good, pure water, and well groomed (which takes the place of outdoor exercise in winter) he would get very weak and poor, and if she should come in contact with the tub- ercle bacilli she will not have suffi- cient strength to resist the germ and will readily fall a victim. THE TUMBLING MUSTARD WEED This is an annual or winter annual and was introduced into the prairie provinces from central and southern Europe about 1887. It is two to four feet high, stem branching, the lower part and the root leaves downy and glandular, with a musky odor; upper part of the stem and the much divided leaves smooth. The young plants form a rpsette of soft pale green, down leaves, shaped much like those of - a common dandelion. On the flowering plants the leaves change very much in shape from the root up, no too being alike. Flowers, pale yellow and one-third of an. inch in diameter. Seed pods are two to four inches long, very slender and produced abuadant- ly along the branches. Each pod contains about 120 seeds and a single plant has borne as many as 1,500,000 seeds. When the seeds are .ripe the whole head of the plant breaks off and is blown across the prairie scat- tering the seeds far and wide. The seeds as in many tumbling weeds, are not easily shed from the tough pods, consequently a head of this weed may blow about the prairie for a whole winter, dropping a few seeds at in- tervals for many miles. AN APPLE SCARCITY It is likely that the price of apples will be even higher this year than formerly. According to reliable re- ports, the fruit crop of the Beet and South suffered greatly from witi I and dry weather. The producers realize tb.lis scarcity and are holding for higher prices The prospects that there will be loss fruit this year to supply an increased demand in the provinces where fruit is not - largely grown makes it apparent that the consumers dwelling in the prairie provinces will pay higher prices this year than have prevailed in the past. It is well, therefore, that the out- look is bright for a bumper grain crop. Grain farmers should not be obliged to do without fruit, whether the price is low or high; they need this form of diet even though the price makes it seem like a luxury. POULTRY NOTES The wheelbarrow Is not a good hen roost either indoors or out. Lighter foods are best these warm days. Heavy food, like corn, heats the blood. A cornfield or grain stubble field proves to be a valuable range for the future flock of next winter's layers. There should be ne obstacles in their way of growth. -The hens are warm enough inside now. Don't make them drink hot, stale, tasteless water. Give them some fresh, from the well. And do it several times a day.
