POTATO CANKER.
Prof. J. E. Howitt, Ontario Agricul-
tural College, Guelph, writes on May
8,h as follows :
'lair. H. T. Guesow, Botaniat, Dom-
inion Experimental Nem, Ottawa,
has already, through the press, called
attention to this roost destructive
potato disease, and the great danger
of its being introduced into Canada in
imported seed potatoes. On Account
of the sezious lass to the farmers of
Ontario which the introduction of
potat6 canker would undoubtedly
cause, T think that it lie not out of
place to again warn all interested in
potato growing to be on the watch for
„potato canker in seed potatoes. A
c.It'eful scrutiny of the 'seed pot:a,tee8
should enable anyone to detect the
presence of the canker. Sadly eat k-
eyed tubera can be noticed at a glance,
ate they are naiasshapen and completely
covered with Warty excrescence'',
Badly diseased potatoes, however, are
not likely to be found in the seed, but
tubers whieia are only slightly affected
and which at a casual glance appear
sound. These nzayr be detected by ex.
ambling the eye!, which will be found
to be slightly protruding end compos»
eti of elu'ters of little nodules.
Potato canker is now found In I ng-

Some farmers do not allow it to suck

to stay with the cow for a ;tow days. If
the cow's udder is at all inflamed or
raked the rubbing by the calf seems to
help to soften it and reduce the fretum•

gradually to twelve pounds at the end
of two weeks. 1)o not yield to the
temptation to feed more, because over._
feeding is the chief cease of scours.
From five to seven weeks old the ra-
tion may be increased from fourteen
to fifteen pounds daily, while eighteen
to twenty pounda may be given to a
calf three to four months old.
After two to three weeks skimmilk
may be substituted for part ot the

age of the potato crop in Ontario last
year, large quantities of potatoea are
being imported, especially from Great
Beitain. The danger lies in the plant-
ing of imported potatoes infected with
the canker. Farmers should make a
point of knowing the source of the
seed potatoee they are u -ting, and of
making a careful inspection for any
signs of canker before planting. -Su-
spected potatoes should be sent to Me,

has been received."
The Ayrshire cow is said to be the
most economical producer of miler
and butter of any of the so called
dairy breeds, giving the lamest
quantity for the feed consumed and
yielding the largest net profit. The
Ayrshire has a strong, healthy
body. with plenty of vitality :._.e
vigor, is rarely sick and almost
never has any disease of udder or
teats. The Ayrshire cattle are of
medium size, weighing at maturity
about 1,000 pounds. In color they
are red and white, the relative pro-
portions of the two colors being
greatly varied. The Ayrshire cow
is tough and hardy, with a vigor-
ous appetite.
made gradually, not faster than one to
two pounds per day. A little grain
may be fed after three to four weeks,
preferably placed in_ a box atter the
miler Is eaten. One-half to three-fourths
of a pound of ground corn or oats daily
makes a good feed. The starches of
these feeds must be acted upon by the
saliva of the mouth in order to digest,
and therefore the grain should not be
given in the milk. as it would be swal-
lowed without chewing.
Calves will begin to nibble on hay et
About four weeks of age and can be
fed what good, clean, bay they will
eat. Alfalfa is perhaps too laxative to
be fed to young calves, but may be giv
en after. three to four months. All
changes in feed' should be gradual.
Calves should not be turned out to pas-
ture unless they have had a little green
feed before, as it, is liable to cause
scours. Give alt the fresh, clean wa-
ter the calf will drink. ---11. U. Jones,
M ontnna Agricultural College.
Rations That Make Thrifty Pigs.
There is a fine bunch of hogs nt the
University of Wisconsin. The house
that they live in is one that could be
u . d by any farmer. The feed that is
Beed, however, is really what brings
ee excellent results. For little pigs
the ration is made up as follows: Thir-
ty-five pounds of oats ground fine, thir-
ty -live pounds of middlings, twenty
pounds of cornmeal, nine pounds of oil-
meal and a pound of salt. This males
n hundred pounds, which is mixed care-
fully and fed in a slop.
The brood sows are fed a ration about
like the following: Twenty-three pounds
of cornmeal, twenty-three pounds of
ground oats, twenty-four pounds of
bran, twenty-three pounds of middlings,
six pounds of oilmen! and a pound of
salt. This is also fed in a slop.
In feeding alfalfa the hay is cut tine
and tnited with grain as follows: Fie.
teen pounds of alfalfa, thirty pounds of
ground oats, thirty pounds of mid-
dlings. fifteen pounds of cornmeal, nine
ponutis of. ollmeai and a pound of salt.
This makes a hundred pounds of the
mixture.
The following ration is designated as
a ration for growing swine: Thia'ty
pounds of cornmeal, thirty pounds .'f
ground oats, thirty pounds of nmisi-
dlings, nine pouiids of oilmeal and a
pound of salt. When the hogs are to
be fattened corn is added, to this mix -

SMALL OR LARGE SHEEP.
An Argument In Favor of Handling the
Lighter Breeds.
The question often arises as to wtiieh
proves itself the more profitable to the
breeder and feeder of sheep, a heavy
sheep or a email but better quality
one, writes W. II. Underwood. Let us,
for example, take the Oxford and
Hampshire cross as a type of big sheep,
it being a favorite cross, and the S11rop'
shire as an example of a smaltei• and,
it may be said with alt due respect to
the before mentioned cross, a better
quality sheep.
It is well known that big sheep are
big consumers and consec),aently can.
not 'be so thick on the land as small
sheep can, and, for instance, where 100
breeding ewes of the Oxford -Hamer
shire type can be kept 140 Shropshlres
could be run on the same glveu qustlx-
tity of land. Then. too, the Shropshire
is more prolific than any other short
wooled breed, and, whereas one and
one-fourth Iambs per ewe is considered
quite a satisfactory average in the Ox-
ford and (Hampshire tlOcks or the cross
between the two above named, one
and three-fourths Is quite common and
one and a Half the usual average in
Shropshire flocks. so that, taking the
example before mentioned on the same
given quantity of land.100 cross Osford-
HampsbIres would produce 12t lambs,
and the 140 Shropshlres in alt prob-
ability would produce 220, mortality
being about the same in both eases.
And again. when the time comes for
the lambs to go on grain there is no
comparison between the amount tbat
an Oxford -Hampshire will consume as
against tb'e Shropshire. One .and one-
half pounds of grain per day Is about
the average quantity given to the first
mentioned sheep, whereas half that al-
lowance is ample and is all that is gen•
erally allowed to a Shropshire. There-
fore the quantity of grain consumed
by the Shropsbires. although nearly
100 more, would be considerably less
per day than consumed by the Oxford-
Hampshdres and in five or six months'
feeding would amount to a pretty sub-
stantial difference.
Also a Shropshire will clip ea great
a weight of wool as any other short
wooled breed and generniiy realizes
more, and when draft ewes tonin to bo
sold In the a•ttumn those of the Shrop-
shire or more compact type are far
better to sell, as appearances often go
against the sale of bit, uushnpely old
ewes. The mutton also Is of better
quality and makes more per pound in
the market than any save the South.

An Iowa Sow Ration.
The Iowa experiment station is using
a ration for brood sows and suckles
pigs that is made up of seventy pounds,
of cornmeal, ten younds of middlings,
ten pounds of 00 per cent meat meal or
tankage, five pounds of bran, two
pounds of oilmeal, 'one pound of feed•
ing quality of bone flour, one pound of
limestone dust and a pound of salt.
These feeds are thoroughly mixed And
given in a thick slop, the aim being to
feed just enough to enable the sow to
produce enough milk for her pigs.
This ration looks like an old fashion•
ed doctor's prescription --a little of ev.
'erything—but there is a reason for it,
says Kansas Farmer. In the first place
it has proved td• be the best and cheap-
est combination of feeds. for the pur-
pose, and in the second place it pro•
duces results.
It is web understood that the soOv
must have flesh and bone forming feed
or the pigs will .not develop properly.
The tankage, bone flour Hud limestone
dust are added to supply these elements
which are not present in sufficient
quantities in the others.

MUD IN THE HOG TROUGH.
Contamination of Feed Responsible For,
Unthrifty Herds,.
Under the best of conditions the hog
gets too much filth into his system.
Many a man has been; at, a loss to know
why his hogs lacked thrift, why they
breathed hard and finally thumped
themselves to death when, as a matt%
of fact, a deranged digestive syptent
could be made to account for all the
symptoms displayed and for the Anal

We are not so much interested in the
liogs that are now being finished up

that are to be, says Iowa Homestead,
Assuming that good feeding methods
have been employed during the gesta'
tion period, it can be stated without
any fear of contradiction that the con
stitutionat soundness of a pig is deter.
mined before it is four months old, and
the big factor in determining this its
cleanliness in the food supply.
Hog troughs are ordinarily placed sfil
that there is a tremendous amount of
contamination during bad weather, and
as a result the little fellows consume
an enormous amount of mud, even be.
tween the time they begin to eat and
the weaning period. At this stage of
their career they are usually big eater"
for their weight, and they are not very
fastidious in their tastes. With them
everything goes, and where the feeding
ground is filthy it requires special pre•'
cautions to keep the feed clean. i!.

certain designs have been patented,
but even outside of these patented
troughs there is ample room for the
exercise of mechanical skill. The main
thing after all, is to get the idea thor-

to use troughs designed in such a way
as to keep the pigs from mixing mud
with their meals. After that idea has
taken possession of a man he will have
little difficulty in working out a sys.
