Agricultural Waste.
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

them. Probably several million dollars
are lost annually in the poultry industry,

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.

There is one notable exception to this

This remedy is, in fact, responsible for

People who have been trying different

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

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.
One horse in the stable is a poor work-
er, so we use the others oftener rath-
er than bother with him. One cow
in the herd is it boarder, giving thin
or little milk. We hardly know why
we keep her, but she still boards with
us. One ewe refuses to own her lamb.
Site did the same hist year.' Why
don't we sell herP One sow in the
pi eats or lies on all her pigs every
time. We ought to Are her, Some
old hens juet "Cluck, eluelt." and
never lay like the others. Let's get
after all the grafter* ! --Farm Zoornal..
