Thais' chief feed is, then, new -grown grass: This would indicate that such feed is better for milk produe- tion. than are the dry feeds fed in winter'. Green foed is more easily digested than is dry, coarse, fod- der, such as hay, fodcled corn and corn stover. Moreover, Tess energy is required to digest it, it tends to keep the body, and digestive system in better condition, and it stitxaii- laces the appetite, We know this from human experience. In the winter, when vegetables are scarce and the eat potatoes, bread and meat for a long time, we become tired of them, and crave something succulent, like fruit or' green vege- tables. In well -regulated homes,, such food is supplied by canned; or fresh vegetables and fruits. The. barrel of apples in the cellar is not especially valuable from. the view -point of the amount of 'nour- ishment contained. The great vas- ue .of the apples is due to the . fact that they aid in toning up the whole. system and satisfy the craving for something' succulent. In like man- ner it pays to supply the live stock on the farm with something to take the" place ,of the green grass they get in summer. The whole ration need not be of a succulent material, but that portion of it should be such, is quite' essential to best re- sults. Just as an apple or two. each "day is good for a boy or girl,. so are. a few pounds each day of succulent feed, such as roots or silage, good for farm-animals.—T. L. Haeeker.

Clivee u:ddraas, T}F hIOII0�PRESIDENT. Joseph Siuith Is a Matt of Remark- able Ability. President Joseph Smith,' head of the Mormon Church throughout rho world, has just made a visit to Caen_ arta, and while here dedicated the ground -for the first Mormon Temple on. British soil,. The occasion was marked by 'a Civic celebration. in the Mr. Joseph Smith. !town of C'ardston, Alberta, . where i the event o•scurred. The president came in a private train with his councillors, bishops, and advisors, and spent. three days on Canadian. soil. The Mormon people are making rapid gains in Canada. They are'. the pioneers of Southern Alberta, and own upwards of 200,000 acres of land in this country, Seven years ago the Church purchaased, one tract of 67,000 acres, ,whidh is being colo nized with people from Utah. Jesepl Fielding Smith was bora at FM: West, Missouri, tin the lath of Novemiber, 1838; He was the sin. of Hyrum Smith, brother of the ori- ginal J'osepb Smith, founder of the Mormon .Church.

His 'father, Hyrum Smith, ,had been killed by a mob at Carthage,' Ill., two years before. In 1848, Whin the long trek'wM made to Utah, the Smith boy, then 8 years of age, drove a team of oxen across the West'ei'rx plains.

This, results, as a rule, from the constant growth or. too long continued culture of the same crop or class of crops on the same land. Wilt in various:, crops, bacteria'. disease, grain rusts and weeds and insects too numerous to mention all accumulate in the.. soil under the one -crop system. These pests often multiply to sin* an extent that ultimately it becomes impossible to secure pro- fitable returns from land thus in- fested. Resistant varieties must then be secured or crops cultivated on land not subject to these pests. All these troubles can be avoided and the fertility.of the soil greatly improved by intelligent systems of rotation. Orchard Drainage. There are two types of drainage that must be kept in mind in locat- ing and planting an orchard; air drainage and soil drainage. The spot selected should be high, for cold air seeks ithe lower levels, and frosts come first in pockets and low- lying belts. If a valley or coulee is chosen, it should . have a wide opening at its lower end, A rolling site, somewhat elevated, will usu- ally afford ,good air drainage. The soil drainage also will gener- ally be good in a high, rolling ex- posure. "Fruit trees .can't. stand wet feet." . Perfect soil drainage must be provided, if it is no t al- ready present. Tile or open drains may be called into use. If tile is used it should Ile in the middle be- tween the rows, to effect oyen drainage and to prevent as fax AN possible the &Miug of the drain with roots. Starting lfalfa. Ercperieuce teaches that givers good soil and a well.pulverized seed. bed, alfalfa will generally grow well. Of course, some soils are bet- ter suited to it than others. The only way is to: try it. If it will not grow on a properly trained' seed bed then you will have to resort to. inoculation, If so, you would bet'. ter apply to your nearest experi- ment station. Still, if you prepare a shallow, completely pulverized Iseed bed about three inches deep and sow about twenty pounds . of, seed to the acre, you will get -a crop. CORKER IN BEANS FAILS. Egyptians Won't Buy Them When Price Is Raised'. It has been said Lord.Kitchener's Egyptian homestead Iaw had ruined the trade of the usurers who had in. the past reaped untold profits out the luckless 1el'laall, whom they had been won't to exploit to an infamous degree. But some of those gentry, shrewd- er than their colleagues, found what they thought was a surer. means of making vast profits. They knew the fellah and his cattle lived at certain tunes of the " year on beaus, grown locally.: So they de- cided • to corner the bean supply, which is only just sufficient to meet the demand. Up went the price by leaps and bounds, and the fellah' began to find beans becoming some- what of a luxury. , Now- the, fellate may; be improvi- dent, but he is no fool. He at once. stopped buying beans, and fed him; self and his•cattle on other. pro- duce. As ..a result, prices dropped. But the fellah was not to Ise had. He continued to eseheww beans, and as the ' latter do not improve by. keeping, and the banks, who had, in some cases, advanced the oor- nerers .on their stocks, beganto force thein to realize, prices have; gone down to such an extent that 'the stocks Ih:ave all had to be sold aha dead lose.
