The preservation of the fertility of agricultural lauds has long been recog• nized in prosperous farming communi- ties as absolately necessary to sacoess. By slipshod and reckless farming many au otherwise good farm has been re- duced in produotibility until the iudivid• nal working the land has scarcely been able to make a living and pay hie taxes.

In fiat, the difference between profit and loss in farming operations con- sists mainly in the amount of fertility in the soil, nor does it require a Master of Arts or Bachelor of Arts to compre- hend the truth of the statement. Every farmer knows that it takea just as long to plow and harrow an acre of poor laud as it does an acre of rich land. and it takes just as much if not more seed to sow it. The time required to run the biuder over each acre is practically the same, the amount of twine required to bind the crop will be much the same in both instances for where the grain stands thin weeds and thistles usually take np the room. The real difference between the rieh acre and the poor one is seen at threshing time, for, while the former is filling the straw mow with an abundant yield of good clean straw, and chaff, valuable as feed for stock, with say from 50 to 75 bushels of over standard weight oats running to the bin, the latter is sup- plying the straw mow with a mixture of thistle down, smut, straw and weed stalks, neither fit for feed or anything else, while the grain bin is being filled with a light quality of grain mixed with mustard seed, chess and .a variety of other trash. Thus the loss resulting from the farming of poor laud becomes apparent. Where the proper rotation of crops is not observed and where seeding down to clover at intervals of say four to five years is neglected, and where an insufficient number of live stock is kept to consume the coarse grain raised on a farm, the land is sere to deteriorate in fertility. but by the proper observance of these rules, the producing powers of a farm may be increased, and only by the employment of the proper means to keep np and improve the soil can farming be made to pay. By raising tobacco year after year, some of the best lauds in the State of Virginia became .useless,and large tracts of land in that state are to- day lying idle on account of being run •once said, perhaps with a little hnmorons ont, and in consequence would not pay exaggeration, that the former President to till.

The Minis- ter of Public Works has greatly im- proved in health since his return from the south. Considerable inportauee is attached to the first crop report of the season issued by the. Canadian Pacific Railway. Taken generally the report is a favorable oue. Seeding began about two weeks earlier than last year, and since thea the pro- gress of the crop has been rapid. It has been estimated that the North Western acreage under cultivation will be in - increased by about 1,000.000 acres, and that the total acreage under crop will about 4,5000,000 acres. A government estimate saysabont 90,000 new comers will be needed in seeding, hying and harvesting this year. On Good Friday Baroness Burdett Coutts entered npou the ninety-second year of her age At the age of twenty- three she inherited $9,000;000 ;000 from her father, Thomas Coutts, the banker. AU her life she has been noted for her philanthrophy. She has spent about 69,000,000 in building homes for the London poor; she has beilt many churches. She helped to succor the Turkish peasantry during the Tnrko Russian war, and she gave $100,000 to save the Skibbereeu fisherman from starvation. She was a great favorite of Queen Victoria, who knighted her, but when she married Ashmead Bart- lett in her sixty sixth year, it is said the Queen was much displeased.

Careful Feeding Needed to Keep Hiss, Pa Condition, Ilis permanent vent 1uniters should be s clean, dry, warm, well lighted and well ventilated pen, telt or twelve feet square, with a yard adjoining where sows may be brought to service. Breeders generally advocate the prata- tice of keeping a boar to himself dur- ing the entire year -out of sight and hearing of the sows. However, a boar is often allowed to• run with the sows after they are safe in pig, but during the breeding season it is by far the best policy to keep him by himself, admitting a sow to his yard for mating and allowing but one service. This will be productive of the best results in many ways. .The energies of the male are not overtaxed. He may thus serve a much larger number of sows, and the litters will generally be larger and the pigs stronger. In the case of a sow that is a somewhat shy breeder and a valuable animal she may be al- lowed to remain with a boar during the greater part of her beat, but such in- stances are exceptional. The feed of the boar when not in service inay be of a succulent nature,. mainly pasture and cut green forage during the summer montbs and roots in winter. A boar can hardly be sus- tained on this alone, and some grain should be allowed to keep him in con- dition. This should be nitrogenous in character, consisting of mill feeds( such as shorts, middlings and bran - some oilmeal and the leguminous grains, with a little corn. As the breeding season approaches the feed should be increased so that the boar will be in good condition. While not in service ample exercise should al- ways be insisted upon, even if it must be urged by the whip. Exercise Is productive of well devel- oped muscles and general thrift. With these two conditions activity and soundness of reproductive organs will usually follow. During the breeding season it will not be possible for the boar to get the same amount of exer- cise, and accordingly care must be tak- en that his energies are not wasted by unnecessary service. Careful feeding will do much to counteract this advan- tage. It must always be remembered that the drains on a boar *during serv- ice are severe, especially if fifty or six- ty sows are served. This will require ample feed, with as much exercise as possible, and with care in his treatment will bring about good results. A fully matured boar should not serve more than two sows daily, preferably one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and can serve fifty or sixty in a sea- son without difficulty. -George M.

With the farmers in too many cases the ration for grain is corn and corn stover for roughage, and if corn stover is not used for roughage a poor quality of hay is often employed. It is not to be wondered at, then, that many farm horses quickly wear out when the spring work begins. The farmer should be prepared to feed oats as a part of the regular ration throughout the year. if at all possible. Especially is this true when heavy work is being carried on. -Successful Farming. Sheep Need Succulent Food. Constipation is one of the worst ene- mies of the sheep in winter; hence the importance of providing succulent ra- tions of some kind. FEEDING FOR PROFIT Though my experience with cotton- seed products has been limited, I have fed several bunches of steerh on meal and hulls at a ration of one to five, or five pounds of meal to twenty-five of hulls, with best results and fed from 100 to 120 days, says a Texan in Farm and Ranch. I find it tbe greatest fat- tening attening feed of nil, especially if mixed with corn, to give the animal more weight and to solidify the fat. Oats For the Roadster. Oats are the material which the good roadster will turn into travel. A little careful observation will enable one to determine how much grain the horse ought to have. Feed For Strength. Feed horses with a' view to giving vigor and strength rather than to put- ting on flesh. An overfat horse is in as bad condition to stand work as a poor one. Feeding 'Young Sows. Don't aim to get young sows too fat, far the young sow can Afford to come in with her first litter 3n much higher condition than the sow two or three years old. You don't want any corn fat on them, but you can have n11 the clover fat or alfalfa fat or oats, wheat br barley fat that you can get on thein. See that they are properly mated, and next spring you can Count on a profita- ble crop of piglets.-Wallace's Farmer. Galin For Ewes. If you have plenty of grain to spare feed it after the ewes have lambed rather than before. It is unreasonable to suppose that an overfed ewe can produce a properly developed Iamb.- American Sheep Breeder. Separator Milk Tor Piga. This is a valuable feed, especially when a hand separator 3d used and the skim Milk can be fed while warm. Professor Henry's experiment at Wis- consin station showed that when feed- ing' 1 pound of cornmeal with from 1 to 3 pounds of separator skim milk 327 pounds of skim milk are equal to 100 pounds of cornmeal. When feeding 1 pound of eortinleal with from 7 to 0 pounds, 5511 Ponta of skim milk were equal to 100 pounds of MOIL Averaging all bis many tests he found that 474 pounds of Alta mak equal 100 pounds of cornirol,-••-Amer.
