When as naany hogs per acre are put

the stand is likely to result. In many
of the states where alfalfa is com-

en to prevent bloat by turning stock on
it the first few times only after they
are well filled with other feed that

be pastured down close at any time
during the first season or later. A
growth a three or four inches should
be left on the field in the fall for win-
ter protection.

Now is the best time of the year to
destroy cutworms. Land should be

CATCHING THE SUCKER&
If the people will be gulled after re-
peated warnings from the press, there
can be very little sympathy for them
in their troubles. A few weeks ago, a
gang of canvassers overran the country
and got a number of suckers to fall in
with their scheme. Some we learn,
signed what were to be harmless orders,
and now it turn e out, if rumours are
correct, that the thoughtless signatures
resulted in momentary obligations.

Chronicle.
OPEN AND CLOSED HOUSES.
In a recent debate before the Winni;
peg Poultry Association, Professor Her-
ner of Manitoba Agricultural College,
gave the following points in favour of
closed and cotton -front houses:
The arguments in favour of the dos-
ed type of house were as follows:
(1) It is warmer. consequently is
More comfortable for the hens, and
more eggs will be produced.
(2) Bens will consume less food in
a closed house.
(8) It is more comfortable to work
in, and the owner is inclined to give his
birds better care. s
(4) For a man who keeps show
birds the closed house is absolutely
necessary for the protection of the
combs of the birds. This is particular-
ly true of cockerels
The arguments in favour of the other
type of house, and upon which all were
agreed, Were:
(1) In such a house there was a con-
tinued interchange of air through the
cotton, thus assuring thorough ventila-
tion without any draft.
(2) By this thorough ventilation all
dampness is removed and, a uniform
temperature is maintained.
(3) Under such conditions there is
greater vitality in the breeding stock
and consequently greater fertility in
the eggs and greater vitality in the
chicks.
(4) There is less disease 'among
birds in cotton -front houses.
There are now 18,565 Boy ScOuts in
Canada, actording to a report submit-
ted at a meeting of the Canadian Geper-
td at Ottawa, This is a slight
increaSe over last year.

In the scalp, the skin would get dry
