A QUESTION IN FARM
ECONOMICS.
The passing of the cedar swamp, to- !
gether with the rapidly rising value of I
ash, oak and other timber in the older I
parts of the Dominion, a number of
years ago, the question of fencing our
farms appeared to assume a serious pro-
blein. We had growu accustomed to the
use of wood, and wood only, in the ;
surrounding aud dividing of our land,
and it seems as though nothing could ;
take its place. A ray of hope seemed to ;
appear with the introductiou of the ;
planted hedge in runny clietriets, but this
proved a very expensive and quite un-
satisfactory mode of fencing. Many
were compelled to resort to the use ot
barbed wire, but this proved a very ex
pensive aud cruel brinier, wore espe-
eially to horses aud cattlesince the
animal losses from it proved enormous.
Then came the woven wire structure,
which, though inn dequate at first, gradu-
ally became a satisfuctory solution to
the whole fencing problem.
Through the wisdom of the Dominion
Government ilia grades of wire needed
for it construction were placed ou the
Free List. Keen competition between
powerful I'aited States factories re.
dined the price of the wire until it be-
came quite inexpensive. Canadian
fenco factories sprung up and began to
turn out fencing of excellent quality at
a price in keeping with the low value of
wire -their raw material. This proved
an excellent thiug for the fence compan-
ies, but a better thing for the farmer, as
he could use up his decaying, weed-en-
conraging rail fences for summer fuel
and replace them with wire structures
which answered the purpose infinitely
better, were easy of erection and required
practically no repairing for many years.
Farm fencing has reached a eatisfac-
tory basis. If felt alone, farm improve -
went, so far as fencing is concerned,
can continue to go on as it has been do-
ing for some years, with comparatively
little expense. But a check is threatened.
A number of manufacturing concerns in
Canada would like to engage in making
the grades of wire which are admitted
free of customs tax, but they cannot do
so profitably unless the price of wire
goes up. To accomplish this an effort
is under way to have a duty put on
these wires. If they succeed there
must be one sure result -the price of
wire must rise, which would seriously
interfere with farm improvement, and
throw the fence factories into confusion.
Many of the old fences, with all their
unsightly appearance and inconvepience,
would have to remain a few years
longer; stock keeping and dairying in
the prairie country would receive a set-
back, and nothing bat loss and confu-
sion would be the result.
The present situation in regard to
fencing is satisfactory. Let every far-
mer and farmer's friend urge upon his
representative at Ottawa the importance
of opposing any movement in the direc-
tion of placing galvanized iron or steel
wire Nos. 9, 12 and 13 upon the dutiable
list.
FARMERS MUST RAISE WAGES.

he knows when he does not know.
Ouo man writes for a lad of 17 years
of age, inexperienced, and offers what is
considered a fair wage under such cir-
eurastauces-$120 per year, "If he has
a sister, let him bring her along," he
adds.
"That is the only way farmers can
get servants," said Mr. Southworth.
"Some three years ago we could place
men for only about 7 months of the year,
bat now the farmers are willing to hire
them for the whole year so as to have
them When they are needed. Another
hopeful sign is the number of applicants
we are receiving for married mon and
; their wiVPS. The farmers are providing
; them quarters!, because they have found
; that married men are better workers
and stay with them more steadily.

PASTURE CROPS
Ay Prof, C A. Zavitz.
The area of cleared land devoted to
latteture in °uteri° amounts to nearly
three million acres, and that devoted to
hay and clover to about two and one-half
million acres annually. A large number
of varieties of grasses and clovers have
been grown in the Experimental De-
partment of the Ontario Agricultural
College, both siugly and in combination,
for pasture and hay. The mixture of
seed now used for the production of
pasture for a two years' stand in the
short rotation on the College farm is as
follows: -Red Clover, 7 lbs.; Alsike
Clover, 2 lbs.;,Tsmothy, 4 lbs.; and
Orchard Gmss, J lbs., making a total of
181bs. per acre. This mixture can also
be used for hay, but when the chief aim
is the production of hay, the Orchard
Grass is not included and only 13Ibs. per
acre are sown.

Farmers frequently write in the spring
of the year stating that through leak of
kermination of the grass and clover seed,
the killing of the plants by the hot dry
weather of the summer, or the heaving
of the clover in the early spring, the
pasture crop is likely to be deficient in
the coming seasou, and asking what they
can sow in the spring of the year that
will tarnish the best pasture in the same
season In each of four years we con-
ducted an experiment in testing fourteen
different kinds of crop for the production
Of pasture in the same season in which
the seed was sown. As a result of these
experimente, we and that we can get
better returns from a combination of
varieties than from any one variety sown
by itself. The following mixture, when
sown in the spring, is likely to be ready
for use at about six weeks after the seed
is sown and to give good satisfaction
in furnishing pastnre throughout the
summer: Oats, one and one-half bush-
els; Early Amber Sugar Cane, thirty
pounds, aud Common Red Clover. seven
pounds; thus making a total Of eighty-
eight pounds- Of seed per acre.
Sometimes a farm contains a consider-
able amount of comparatively rough
land, or fields which lie a long distance
from the baildings, and the owner is
'anxious to use a mixture of grasses and
clovers, which will make a permanent
pasture. From twenty years' resnits in
testing different varieties of grasses and
Wavers, both singly and in combination,
Vve would suggest the following mixture
for permanent pasture on an average
aoil: Orchard Grase, 4 lbs.; Meadove
Fescue, 4 lbs.; Tall Oat Grass, 3 lbs.
• Timothy', 2 lbs.; Meadow roxtail, 2 lbs.;
Lucerne, 5 lbs. ; Alsike Clover, 2 lbs., and
White CloYer, 2 lbs., thus making a total
Of 24 lbs. of seed per acre. Some ef these
Varieties produce seed very early it the
spring; While Others are later and furnish
a good bite even during the hot dry
weather which frequently occurs in the
months of July and August. The seed
can be sOWn in the early spring either

TAXES ANO MATRIMONY
(Toronto Star)
A eorrespondent today wants to know
the mewling of the cireulars scut out by
the ASSeSainent Depart ment of the eity,
iuthuatiug that every ni Married mail or
woman earning upwants of $400 pallet

ance with the naw Previucial Assess.

householder, will have $400 of his or
her salary exempt On the balance of
bis or her ineuum taxes Will las collected
Of the householder's weenie $1,000 will
be exemet, the the my beiug that he is
otherwise taxed.
Thousaede of men in Torouto have
been paying no direct taxatiou, and the
new Mw is designed to reach them.
The novel feature ot it is the imposition
of an income tax on women A lady
school teacher, for instance, drawing a
salary of 41800 will be taxed on half of it,
paying $a, auci getting a vote in the
tnuuteipal elections, Another, with a
salary of $700, will pay 80 taxes on $300
income, but will not have a vote.
While it is, as our correspondent says,
improbable that a man will marry to
save a few dollars. yet we wish to re-
mark that by marrying and becoming a
householder a man can increase his in-
come .exeraption by $000, and reduce his
taxes by $12 a year. This seems a small
inducement to the taking of a serious
step, but if there is anything ou earth a
man likes to dts it is to get out of paying
taxes.
THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Advertising space in a newspaper,
says the Helena (tIont ) Record, is a
commodity. It is a thiug of value to the
man who uses it, and ha bargains for it
as be would for anything else of value.
If he needs it and believes it is worth the
price asked for it, he buys. If he does
not believe the bargain would be to his
advautage be refrains from buying.
It is exactly as if the merchant were
bargaining for any other thing he needs
in his'business. He makes his choice of
store fixtures and he selects his stock
by the same rule.
just as iu the case of the staple goods
that line his shelves and fill his show-
cases and are piled on his counters, the
advertisiug space be contracts for has a
value, based upon quantity and quality.
The business man buys advertising
space in the newspaper at a certain price
per inch, the price based upon the circu-
lation of the newspaper and the quality
of its subscription list -quality having
particular reference to its availability
for his purpttse.
If it reaches the class of people he
;maritally desires to interest in the kiud
of goods he has to sell, and reaches the
people in the locality in which he speci-
ally desires to do business, andif it
reaches more persons of the hied he is
looking for, in the community he is in-
terested in, than another newspaper does,
then it is worth more to him. He pays
accordingly.
Business men do not advertise "just
to help the editor along," as they did in
the early days of the clarions of the
crossroads The advertieing expense
account is a part of the well -regulated
business, and is is gaged with a view to
Making a profit out of it.

THE SPRING FEF.L.INO.
[W. II. Larepton, in New YQrk Sun,)
I can feel the Spraig a earning, •
can feel it in my hones,
I cull 800 it in the sunshine,
can hear it in the nine
Of the ehauging winds •a•blowing
From the land of Sumner days,
Where the balmy breerses soften
Wiuter's raw and rauoous ways.
There is piled np snow a-pleuty
In the city yet awhile,
But it's ineltieg in the Presence
Of the son's returniug smile;
The trickling streams of water
That are running from the snow
Are the tears that Whiter's shedding
'Cause he knows he has to go.
The croons with its blooming
Isn't very far along,
And the birds have hardly started
Tuning np their welkin song;
But they're getting good and ready,
And although they may be shy
At plunging into Springtime,
Tbey will get there by and by.
The butterflies ain't butting
Muoh into these early days,
And the busy bee Mint busy
In his honeyanakitig ways.
Bot they -will be, don't you worry,
For the Spriug will soon be here,
With its waiting of the roses
And the rapture of the year.
There may be another blizzard,
For the blizzard is n thing
That is very apt to happen
As a harbinger of Sprain,
But though the blizzerd blizzes,
And tits earth is clad in white,
We are firm in our conviction
That the Springtime is in sight.
The boating on the river
Is perhaps not extra fine,
And the air is rather chilly
On the open trolley line;
There isn't much surf bathing,
And the Summer Girl ain't here,
But the air is full of rumors
That the Spring is drawing near.
The coal man still is active,
And the furnaoe still is on.
There's a shiver in the breaking
Of the season's early dawn;
An overcoat is useful,
And the heavy underwear
Reminds us of the Winter,
But the Spriag is U the air.
I can feel it coming nearer,
eau smell the glad perfume
Of a new world bedding slowly
Till it blazons into bloom.
Gee whiz!
What a relief Spring is!

Prof. Shutt, of the Ottawa Experi-
mental 'Station.
Considering the farm stock, horses,
sows, pigs and sheep, other thrums
being equel, the analysis of the fresh
solid excreta of these animals places
the dungs in the following order ,of

value of both solid and liquid ex-
creta. The richer the food in alburni.
noids, or flesh formers, the richest

same is true as regards phosphoric
acid and potash.
As the quality and quantity of the
solid food affect the amount and com-
position of the excrements, so does
the amount of water drank. The

be largely compensated for by the in-
creased quantity t'oided.
'Young and growing animals absorb
a much largee percentage of the fer-
tilizing constituents of their food
than do those that are mature or full
grown. Stated approximate ty , we
may say that from 50 to 75 per emit_
of the eitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash of the food of the former will
he found in the manure, from 90 to
9;5 per cent. in that of the latter.
According to the wants of require-
ments of the animal, so is the qual-
ity of the resulting manure. The
production of milk, flesh and wool
makes a heavy demand upon the
food, so that the manur0 of animals
manufacturing these is poorer than)
similar animals that are not per-
forming these functions.
Mature animals at. rest 'return prac-
tically all the fertilizing constituents
of their food in their excrements.
Cows in milk utilize about 25 per
cent. of the plant food elements in
their diet, and their manuro is con-
sequently less rich than that from
fattening steers, which do not retain
more than 10 per cent. of such con-
stituents.
The Round silo.

present time and owing to its many
advantages should be given prefer-.
ence as a rule over other types, says
Professor Soule of the Tennessee ex -e

zette, The square or rectangular silo
can often be built at but. little Cost
in a corner of the barn, as the up-
rights supporting 'the framework will
provide two or three walls of tho
silo and can be utilized without ad-
ditional expense for structural tim-
bers Under these conditions do not

the round silo will generally be
found more satisfactory. The round
silo is preferable because there aro
no angles to cut off, and each hoop
actas a brace, and there is no
trouble with springing walls, which
permit the air to enter and cause
the ,silage to spoil for several inches
around the outside. Then the round
silo does not require the use of so
much lumber, and some types of it
aro very simple of construction. The
cost is also less in proportion to the
capacity than with the square typo:.
