,(Contributed by 0 tarjo. Depatnxent of
AA riculltiire, Torontto.
This machine has given splendid
service to the farmers of the past and
present generations. Fifty years ago
the mower was a perfected machine,
and the improvements since that date
have not been of a ,revolutionary
nature.
Watch the Cutting Bar.
This machine is subjected to a
number of abuses, traceable to the
carelessness of the average farm
hand, lack of attention in oiling, dull
ledger plates and knife operates "over
rough or stony ground. With the
knife running .close to the soil sur-
face, injury from contact with gravel,
sand and small stones 'is frequent.
The watchfulness of the operator 10
avoid subjecting' the cutter bar to in-
jury is the best protection when the
mower is in use on rbugh ground.
The cutter bar with its numerous
guards can be elevated or tilted
quickly by an experienced operator
and obstructions avoided. The guards
should be kept tight and in perfect
alignment.
Give the Steel Plate Attention. '
The small steel plate that is rivet-
ed to the guard at the point where
the knife edge performs the. scissor
movement should be kept sharp or
at least not permitted to` wear round.
These plates, commonly known as
ledger plates, become dull with use,
a condition that greatly -reduces the
efficiency of the mower and increases
the draft. A mower with dull or
rounded ledger plates will stick In
heavy cutting or damp grass. A
sharp knife and sharp edged ledger
plates means light draft for the team
and clean, free cutting of the crop.
The Knife Must Be Kept Sharp.
Too much attention cannot bo
given to the cutter bar with its at-
tached guards and quick moving
knife. If the mower sticks at every
mouse -nest or tuft of grass, the place
to look for the trouble is in the dull
knife, the ledger plates, the worn
guards, or the keepers that hold the
knife down in place. With the new
mower it will be noted that the cut-
ting edges are sharp, that there is
but little play for the knife other
than as intended. In the past too lit-
tle attention has been given to keep-
ing the ledger plates sharp. With
these dull, no matter how good the
knife is, tough material will be
drawn beneath the knife instead of
being cut, forcing the blade up
against the guard causing wear that
gives a loose fitting knife, poor work
and greatly increased draft.
Why the New Mower Cuts Best.
The experience of all is that the
mower cuts better the first season
than ever after. This experience is
largely due to 'the fact that too little
attention is paid to the parts that are
responsible for the cutting. The wear
on the section points of the mower
knife is greatest near the point. This
wear, together with the grinding
necessary to keep the knife sharp,
changes the shape of the section con-
siderably, and in such u way as to
reduce its eiiiciency as a cutting im-
plement. The man doing the,grind-
ing should endeavor to keep the or-
iginal shape of the section in so fart
as possible. Many oil the emery
grinders used in sharpening mower
knifes grind away the points of the
section to a serious extent without
doing very much sharpening. A spe-
cially shaped emery or carborundum
stone or file should be used and the
work done in the farm shop. A spare
knife should always be at hand in
the field.
Go Over the Machine Daily.
The mower should be gone over
carefully twice each day and all bolts
tightened. The main bearings should
be oiled at least once each hour, and
the pitman bearings at least every
half hour. When the mower is not
in use the knife should be removed.
The cutter bar should be elevated to
the vertical position when the ma-
chine is not in use. A little heavy
mineral oil should be brushed over
all parts that are likely to rust. Don't
use paint oils. The mower, like the
binder, to give its best service, should
be given good care.—L Stevenson,
See., Dept. of Agriculture.
Returns From Bees.
Good returns arae obtained from
keeping bees in Canada, the condi-
tions in many parts, of the country
being particularly favorable for
honey production. Yet much uncer-
tainty exists, and misconceptions
have arisen as to- the returns to be
expected. One sometimes hears that
a colony of bees has produced in one
season four or five hundred pounds
01 'honey. Such yields, however, are
exceptional, and are the result of a
combination of fortunate circum-
stances, abundant flowers of alsike
and white clover, fireweed, or other
important honey plants, a particular-
ly industrious colony, a well trained
and experienced beekeeper, and,
above all, favorable weather. They
cannot be obtained from every hive,
noncan they be repeated year after -
year. Sorntimes a year of failure fol-
lows a year of plenty.
To get reliable flgin-es it is neces-
sary to average the returns from the
colonies in the apiary for a number
of years. The latest figures show that
the average annual yield of honey
has varied from 18 pounds per colony
in the least profitable apiary to 13a
pounds -per 'colony .in the most profi-
table apiary.` The average annual
production for all the apiaries was
63 pounds per colony, which is high
enough to make a satisfactory profit,
These figures indicate the importance

PREACHER :AND . FARMER
The Two Are Getting: Closer TOW"
gether Once .\a,:re.
Many Prophets of Old Were 1'artuers
Preachers Have Done Much for
Ontario Agriculture -O. A, C. at
Guelph ;Was'elanined by a Clergy-
main—Pastors Who Have Been In
Pastoral Work indeed,
(Contributed by Ontario Department cf
Agricul to reTorou to, )
The preacher and the farther aro
drawing closer together. Thi' is riot
surprising, for the former is usually
a product of the' soil. It is estimated
that about 85 of our professional
men, including clergymen, were rais-
ed on farms, and practically all of
them have had to "do 'the chores"
in their time...
Prophets of Old Were karmers.
The Old Testament worthies were
largely inen of the soil. Abraham,
Jacob, Moses and David were auth=
orities in heedling flocks. And was
not Elisha famous for his record of
following the plough "with twelve
yoke of oxen before him." Amos
went in for nixed 'farming -- herds
and fruits. Abraham Cowley quaint-
ly remarks that the first man was a
gardener, and it was only after the
second tiller of the soil became a
murderer that he began to build
cities.
Clergymen Have Done Much for
Ontario Agriculture.
Rev. John McCaul, an early Presi-
dent of the University of Toronto,
was a great champion of farming,
and read a paper before the Agricul-
ture and Arts Association in 1858
on "Agriculture Among the Romans."
Rev. Egerton Ryerson, a celebrated
Methodist leader, when Superinten-
dent of Education for the Province,
had several text books on agriculture
prepared for our schools. If he were
here to -day to behold the "see and
do" work of our modern junior agri-
culturists, both boys and girls, he
would be very much astonished, and
would perhaps recite a "Nunc Di -
'mitts."
A Preacher Devised the Plan of the
Agricultural College.,
Rev. W. F. Clarke, a Congrega-
tional minister, if not the father, may
be termed the godfather' -of the On-
tario Agricultural College. In 1869
he was appointed by Hon. John Carl-
ing, Commissioner of Agriculture, to
visit the leading agricultural colleges
of the United States—then very few
—and report as to the possibility of
such an institution succeeding in
Ontario. His investigation was care-
fully made, and the scheme he re-
commended was so comprehensive
and practical that it was adopted
practically in its entirety, and was
the foundation of the excellent col-
lege now in operation in Guelph. He
edited the Canadian Farrier for
many years, and was looked upon as
almost omniscient in things agri-
cultural.
Rev. Dr. Burnet, for over a quar-
ter of a century a Presbyterian min-
ister in Hamilton, was President of
the Ontario Fruit Growers' Associa-
tion for nine years in succession
(1869-1879), was a specialist in
pear growing, and had a grape nam-
ed after him.
A Clergyman Who Has Been a Public
Benefactor.
Rev. Dr. C. J. S. Bethune, for
years Principal of the Boys' College,
Port Hope, (Episcopalian), and for
some years a professor in the On-
tario Agricultural College, has long
been regarded as one of the leading
economic entomologists of his time.
The researches and observations of
this , able scientist have saved annu-
ally thousands of dollars to the fruit
and vegetable growers of the Pro-
vince. For many years he was
Secretary of the Ontario Entomologi-
cal Society and editor of the Cana-
dian Entomologist.
The late Rev. Thomas Pyles of
Ottawa was also a noted entomolog-
ist, with a delightful literary style.
Rev. E. B. Stevenson, of Guelph,
a retired Methodist minister, has long
been reckoned, both in Canada and
the United States, as a leading auth-
ority on strawberry growing. •
A Preacher Who Managed au F.-•..
perimental Farm.
Rev. Newton Woolverton,.fo_rnerly
Principal of Woodstock College
(Baptist), was for some tithe 0)
charge of the Dominion Experii:,c:..t.,
Farm at Brandon, Man.
Father E. A. Burke, a former 001 -
'tor of the Catholic Register, teas aisu
been well known, particularly when
residing in Prince Edward. Island, as
an instructive speaker at gatherings
of farmers, especially on such topics
as fruit ,and vegetable growing.
A. Trio of Active hien of the ir.4anse.
Rev. A. H. Scott, of Perth, has
been president of the Horticultural
Society, and has given many helpful
addresses on gardening, both home
and landscape.
Rev. James Anthony has made a
reputation in rural leadership;. • and
is a well-known writer and speaker
on agronomics.
Rev. W. M. McKay, while pastor
in Weston, made the record of hav-
ing procured more members for his
local Horticultural Society, pro rata
of population, than any other man in
the Province.
The New Agriculture and the RuralCler gyan. "
Agriculture to -day has a new out-
look, and it cannot afford to neglect
the rural clergyman; and most assur-
edly the minister who has a country
congregation, or even a suburban
one, cannot afford to neglect the new
agriculture; lest the •very igrouhd,
yearning for fruitfulness and. beauty,
should cry out in protest against hint.
