Thirty milliou dollars ie a large amount of money to loose, audit is not plain that In= fanners can afford the (1rate year aft ter yeer, but according to Prof. Dean, of the Oatario Agricultural College, this sum is loot anuually by neglect. The !cows a( the country could produce $30,- 0)0,000 worth of milk if they were care- fully selected aud tested. It is worth nett Mg, if the farmers of the country thought that a Government was losing a tenth of this sum, they would be almost ready for a revolution. Now that they learn from aucnority that their own negligence is responsible for this tremendous loss, it i3 to bo hoped that they will consider the matter equally serious. It seems necess- ary that there should be some striking way of bringing home to the farmers of the country the great discoveries in agri. culture and animal husbandry. To mere - /y announce a fact as Prof. Dean an. neunces the fact that the annual loss of milk, is not sufficient. The farmers hear m they have heard for years, but only a small minority puts into effect given in every agricultural paper, and at every meeting like that of the dairymen of Leedom Iustead they are envying the fortunes of their neighbors who have t tken up wheat lands iu the West. If, instead of looking at the rioh lands of latenitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, they would pay more attention so soiern tido methods of farming they would find that the west is for the farmers who can- not get a good farm in Ontario, and this isroviuce has attractions that belong to no other of the Dominion of Cauada. For a generation at least, and probably for all time, the Best will have advent. ages as a market that the West will lack, All that remains is for the farmers to get the best out of their land and their stock and they need not fear any competition. it hat been suggested that one improve- ment that is bound to come sooner or later is an inorease in the size of the ay. orate Ontario farm. One hundred acres (rennet be farmed as economically as five hundred acres. Prof. Dean cella ann. tion to a loss of $30,000,000 a year through negligence in one branch of dairying alane. Experts might go through the whole Hit and find great losses in each of them. Probably several million dollars are lost annually in the poultry industry, and bY exactly the same kind of inner. ance and carelessness that causes the dairy deficit. Every farmer has a dock of hens, numbering from twenty to a hundred. Not one farmer in a thousand uses a trap nest, and without Its use the man who can make poaltry pay from the poiut of view of egg prodnotioa is either a genius or one of the itrokiest men alive. Without the butter test applied to each iudividnal cow, no one can tell which of the animals is profitable and which of them represents a dead loss of perhaps $20 a year. Without the trap nest it is practically impossible to pick out the hens that are laying when eggs are worth 60 cents a dozeu from those that begin to lay when they are worth 15 cents a doz- en. In every departinent of agriculture similar instances might bo found, and no doubt they have been discussed at many a Farmer's Institute meeting. Signs of iropmeement are slow, however, and what is the aggregate loss to the country may be only guessed at. That it marks .he differeuce between grubbing along and comfortable circumstances no one can doubt. Notice of cheriges must he loft at thee °Mee not later than Saluda:: noon.

Some Advice As to Storing and. Hone ing Grain. On the subject of crop management Profeesor Roney& gives some good advice in Kansas Farmer: In general successful farming de- pends upon doing everything at the, right time and the right way. The , farther should push hie, work and not allow his work to push him. After a.. crop has been grown it should not be lost or allowed to become damaged by a little carelessness in handling or storing through the negligence of the • fernier. Much of the wheat sold grades low on account of !being mixed or not, pure in type, Farmers should grow! well bred, pure types of Wheat, corns and other grains. Nine -tenths of alga the corn which the farmer sae grades as mixed cone because it is not pure in color. Pure white or pure yellow', corn ofthe sante quality as mixed: corn will often sell for 2 to 3 cents more per bushel. Crop Breeding. The subject of crop breeding is now attracting great attention.. It pays to, breed and grow pure varieties of corn. and Other crops as well as to observe the Fenno conditions in the raising of live stock. I believe that farmers should store and hold their grain lon- ger and not sell so largely at harvest; time. This practice throws a surplus. of grain on the market, which usually results in low prices and less profits, to the farmer and perhaps not always greater profits' to the dealer. Grairr may be stored and kept for a time ire small quantities with less loss to the, growers than to the dealers when thei same grain is bought end stored 1. large quantities. Grain Sold When Damp. • This is especially true with corn,, much of which is sold in the fall and early winter, too damp to keep well when stored in large quantities. It is, true also of wheat and other grain: that when hauled from the thrashing machine may bo too damp to store in; large elevators. There is a risk to the dealers in handling such grains,. hence the low prices; also doubtless there is a tendency on the part of the dealers to make as low prices as pos- sible when the farmer sells the bulk of his crop. Some farmers are obliged to sell at once as soon as the crop has been harvested or thrashed, needing the money and having perhaps no suitable storage room. But this is a hand to mouth method of living and farming, and the thrifty, experienced farmer should make himself indepen- dent of such conditions as soon as possible, The Valuable Houdan Fowls. Without question the finest poultry, from the table standpoint, is raised in France and Belgium. In fact, epi- cures in all parts of Europe get their table poultry from France and somer portions of Belgium. Therefore isti would seem to be the part of wisdom to study the preferences of breeder* in those countries. In both France .114' 8bi Axo 41.3 HEAD OF BOUDAN FEMALE. and Belgium the great, almost uni- versal, favorite is the Houdan. Its de- tractors in this country declare that the Houdan is a difficult bird to raise, that after it is raised it is too small to show a profit to the breeder and that it iS by tio means a remarkable layer. lts friends declare that the; Houclan is not difficult to bring to ma- turity, that it is one of the best lay- ers in the world, month in and month: out, and that its flesh is not excelled! ' in quality by any fowl in existence, some persone even going so far as to. consider it the equal for table pur- poet's of the inech vaunted pheasant.. Houdene in this country, by reason, of their freakish heads, one of which, is shown in the illustration, have mis- takenly been regarded merely as fan- ciers" fowls. No attempt hasbeen.: made to raise them in large quanti- ties for the table. This is now about t) bo clone to sane extent, however, and the admirers of this excellent breed declare that ere long a veri- table "Houdan fever" will sweep the country' from end to end. Farm Telephone Notes. The farm telephone lino need not be of "standard construction" to give good service.- Both poles and wire may be adapted to local condithms, Avoid hanging wires on trees itt all cases. Interest the boys and girls in the principles of telephone operation. Volts, ohms and electro motive force are not such fearful words tp the young an to the old. A "bridging" - telephone allows two farmers on a mutual line to talk to each other privately without permit- ting 'the conversation to enter the , homes of others. This is a ease of giving the "listening in" fellow the. go-hy.-Farm and Ranch. 0#.4: Rid of ths Graftere. Get rid of the grafters ! Almost every flock or herd has one or more.
