Feeding Cattle Scarce And Dear. $1,000 TO P .RT.1LIZE 50 ACRES
To Buy Or Not To buy. That Is What A Mersea Farmer
Is Spending , --A Business System.
(Canadian Farm)
As springtime succeeds springtime
and pastures become pregnant with
new born grass the history of suc-
cessive cattle trade shows very clearly
that the values of feeders and stockers
are lower six weeks after the rise of
grass than during the buying season
in late March and April, The gush
has, of course, remained in suspension,
influenced by the scarcity of feed and
n backward season, It is not ip-
frequent that the pastures experience
a drying up, at least in eouhe sectiones
in late July and August, enabling
those who have waited in silence to
possess themselves of pasture animas
at comparatively low•tigures.
It is just two years ago since butch-
ers' cattle were on the same sky level
as at present and thousands of stock
cattle were bought for the early pas-
tures at from $5 50 to $6.00 and proved
short-sighted investments when once
more they found themselves in the
market corrals vestured in a grass
tneat covering. The question now is
whether this history will repeat it-
self and the past summer's experience
return unto us again.
THE PRESENT HIGH VALUES,
Undoubtedly the out of reach figures
at which stockers and feeders are held
is dqe more to scarcity than to a
spring rush, because the country out-
let is narrow and meagre supplies are
eoing into the fitter's hands.
Ordinarily at this season, eastern
Canada farmers are very heavy buyers
of cattle ready to go on grass, but
very few have been bought up to the
present. We must, therefore, lay the
blame to scarcity's account, and whilst
they may not be quite so high as two
years ago they are near enough to
high prices to embue our cattle feeders
with caution in their buying opera-
tions, as experience has; taught that
cattle bought at high figures in the
spring bring losses in the selling.
WHAT Is To BE DONE ?
Fearful that present figures are lofty
enough to prohibit any profit and a
sense of the scarcity of supplies, will
doubtless influence many farmers to
allow their grass to grow unmolested
until a more favorable opportunity
occurs to buy later in the sea-
son. This, of course has proven the
actne of wisdom in past years, but
now our supply conditions have
changed. Two years now past when
finished cattle were as scarce as they
were high, the country was over -
pregnant with thin and thriftless stuff
and the drop that later came was only
logical.
Who dare offer advice in this emer-
gency ? There are situations in the
future of this year's business in cattle
which remain as yet undeveloped and
unseen. Everything comes to he who
waits, provided he doesn't wait for
the impossible. It may at least do no
harm to hold back until the other
fellow has made his purchase of feed-
ers, after which they may be picked
up at a more reasonable figure,

Comparison Of Crops.
According to tests of many of the
hest varieties of farm crops, carried on
at the Central and Branch Farms of
the Dominion Experimental Farms
4ystern, some sorts of each class are
much superior to others, that by some
are considered good. As a guide to
the crop growers of Canada as to
which varieties are `most valuable,
Bulletin No. 71 of the Central Experi-
mental 1r+'arm has been prepared for
distribution. This Bulletin gives se-
lected lists of the best 'varieties for
each province or district, the lists
being based on the accumulated exper-
ience of past years, .Among the heav-
er varieties of merit, Marquis wheat,
Manchurian barley and Arthur pea
are especially mentioned. This bul-
letin deals not only with varieties of
grain crops but with those of fodder
crops, ar]d potatoes as well, Copies

1311 Vs Marion, Brldgebut g, Gutta
(l:lrn don Free Presss,)
Leatniugton, April 28,—What would
a farmer in Middlesex or Perth or
Huron counties think, if told that his
neighbor had paid out $1,000 in ha.td
o thh for fertilizer for a firma of fifty
ares ? Ani that, too, for a farm
which is so fertile that last year it
netted its owner $5,000 for the pro-
duce he sold off of it,
One man who is doing this is Mr. D.
Maynard, whose farm is just east of
Leamington on the old Talbot street.
Ele carne from Blenheim, but a very
few years ago, attracted by the possi-
bilities of the district, and it is safe t 0
say that they have met his expecta-
tions.
Last year he was one of the big to-
bacco growers of this section, His
tobacco crop totalled fifteen tons,
taken from about nineteen acres, and
it realiz'd him $3,650. Bis revenue
was increased by the sale of three
other diverse products, namely, hogs,
potatoes and strawberries. He very
properly considers that he had a good
year.
There is a business system about
this farm that explains in part the
success its owner is reaping. 'S37bile
some farmers not far distant have
trouble getting help, he bas none,
The reason be explains himself.
"I have two men," said Mr. May-
nard. "They work for me as they
would work in a city. They have
definite hours. They quit at a proper
time and for overtime they get twenty
cents per hour. Over there I am
building a house this spring for one of
thetn."
The Free Press man visited Ile
farm just at dusk. Going into one of
the big barns the owner pressed a
button just at the door and the whole
place was lighted up—by electricity.
Over at one side was a work table
with all kinds of tools where harness
and machinery could be repaired.
The layout for the different kinds of
stock, horses, cattle and hogs, was
such as to make the labor of caring
for them as light as possible. Fine,
sleek horses, contented looking cattle
and fat hogs were looked over in
turn.
A second barn contained up-to-date
farm machinery, including a potato
planter of the latest pattern just pur-
chased, The poultry house showed a
big brood of chickens. Nearby were
the pens for the hatching out of the
young chickens,
This is one of the farms that has a
name. As soon as some other work is
done the name will appear on the
end of the big barn, "Bonnybrook
Farm, D. Maynard, proprietor." The
products of that farm will have to
maintain a reputation,
Leap Year You See.
The Barrie Advance reports at, mar.
riage that occurred in that town on
Monday, which is the sequel to a
somewhat sensational rotn bare and
near tragedy. Last Friday. Miss
Sophia Carter; of Angu4. aged 15 sum-
mers, threatened to commit suicide by
taking poison, if her lover, Wm.
Adams Royce, aged 19, did not come
from Paterboro and marry her. The
amorous young lady was brought to
Berrie jail, where she then told a
story of the intimacy of Royce and
herself, and of her mother's refusal to
allow them to become men and wife.
This objection was overcome on per-
suasion of the crown attorney, and
Detective Beardsley m skis a trip to
Peterboro for the hero of the romance.
.He found him packing Quaker Oats
and explained the circumstances,
when the trip to Barrie was readily
acceded to, and the marriage subse-
qeently took place.
HASN'T SHE LOVELY HAIR l
How often have you heard this re-
mark? Very often indeed: --Everyone
adtniees well kept, Iuxuriant heir be-
cause it is a real beauty in itself; and
as Balzec says in his fatuous work on
beautiful women :--"The soul of lovli-
ness of a beautiful wornan lies in the
tresses of her hair."
Any woman can have beautiful hair
if she will but give it proper care with
a proper hair dressing. Sagine is such
a dressing. It will bring life and
beauty into dun faded hair and make
it clean, fluffy and attractive.
Since the introduction of Sageine in
America's it has met with wonderful
success and is the popular hair tonic
with leading inen and women every-
where.
SAGPINE is now obtainable in
Winghean at A. L. Hamilton's drug
store. Ic is not sticky or greasy and
is daintly perfumed. A large bottle
costs only 50o. That Sageine will

to grasp its possibilities.

Dairy Doings.
Y' 'l
AwwwwwwwwwwwwwwWwwww
THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1917
Feeds too expensive for dairy cows
usually indicate fault either lith the
cow or with the dairyman.
With a thoroughly good cow to man-
ufacture it we can always afford to
put in feed and take out butter.
The dairyman who takes his money
out of the savings bank to build a silo
)snakes a good investment of idle capi-
tal.
The cream separator, the silo and
the manure spreader should find a
place in the equipment of every dairy
farm.
The chemist cannot find that a silo
adds anything to the nutritive ele-
ments in a cornstalk, but it does add
palatability and that counts for a good
deal.
Happy is the cow whose owner grew
a crop of mangels, This root equals
silage. The Holstein Cattle men would
hardly undertake to test a cow for
great production without mangels.
"I am satisfied that many of the
dangers which are attributed to mitt
are absorbed by it after it reaches the
consumer's home. State and munici-
pal regulations in reference to the con-
tamination of milt will have but little
effeet if the sanitary conditions of
streets, of homes and of tenements are
not first made good."—Dr. E. 13. Voor-
hees.
There are tnany farmers who c'lo hot
keep enough cows to supply mill:
enough for the table and to t; tpport
the pigs from whirls the pork aid ba-
con are to be nnade. There may be
good reasons why dairy cows sltould

Owing to the very wet fall of 1911 and
the extremely cold winter, a great deal
of corn did not receive proper care and
is therefore unfit for seed, and farmers
should exercise more care than usual in
selecting their seed corn, as replanting
is never so good.
Raving a practical man in Essex, I
have been able to secure corn from some
of the very best farms and can offer
you the very choicest of seed either on
or off the cob.
I have 90 Day Early Learning, Bailey
and White Cap dent—these are the best
silo corns ; I also have Compton's Early.
These corns have all been tested for
germination and are No. 1, therefore to
ensure a good crop, get your seed from
