What is sweet clover scarified? Will sweet clover ripen with June clover for hay? Is it grown more for seed than hay? Is it the first or second cutting that needs, and what does it generally yield per acre? Will stock eat it good for hay? Answei:—It is considered good practice to sow a little sweet clover seed when seeding down :in order to prepare the soil bacteria for the growth of alfalfa. The bacteria that works on the root of the sweet clover is the same species that inhabits the roots of alfalfa, 1 am unable to say which of the sweet clovers is con- sidered the best. Some important claims are being made at the present time for yellow sweet clover; Japan- ese and Crimson clovers are more adapted to the warmer climate than is found in Canada, hence I would not advise their growth. Scarified sweet elover seed is seed which has been scratched by passing it through a special machine,—the whole or out- side covering of the sweet clover seed is exceedingly hard and this scratch- ing makes it possible for the germ- inating seed to burst its outer cover- ings more readily. It is of consider- able advantage to buy scarified seed. Sweet clover is usually grown for hay, It makes an exceedingly rapid and heavy growth; in some sections con- siderable money is being made by allowing the second crop of clover to ripen for seed, As a rule it yields about 20 bushels per acre under best seed conditions, Livestock go for it very readily, but care should be taken to cut the clover sufficiently early so that the stalks will not be woody Trifles make perfection, and per- fection is no trifle.

The Ark of God had been his special care and Isis heart trembled with anxiety for its safety. When the tragic news reached him he fell from his seat by the city gate and died. The evil that had begun in the weakness and indulgence of a foolish father, and the disobedience and sel- fish greed of wicked sons, reached its climax and its retribution in this four- fold tragedy the defeat of Israel, a great slaughter, the death of Eli's sons, and the taking of the Ark of God, t~'✓ � �ri�fpdirr e A zest has entered into the cam- paign for de -horning Canadian cattle, The example of the most successful farmers is being copied by those quick to see the money -value of the idea. Probably a quarter of a million dol- lars a year are lost by farmers by the non-praotice of a simple de -horning process. Live stock exchanges in Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal especially en- courage de -horning. Practically 'ail the American native cattle, with which Canadian farmers in the West have to compete, have the advantage of being thus treated. They bring a larger return in dollars and cents. In a circular by the Dominion Gov- ernment, farmers are told that they will benefit briefly for the following reasons: -1. Better appearance of the mettle; 2, quieter, subdued nature, en- abling fattening at less cost; 3, more cattle can be shipped in one car .by rail, saving freight cost. But it is when the animal is finally brought to slaughter that' the value of de -horning is proved. Over 70,000 pounds of meat a year are actually reported at inspected Canadian pack- ing plants alone as wasted through bruises in the flesh. Most of the bruises are caused by the animals' horns while in transit from the farm to the market and the abattoir. The total represents the parts of meat utterly thrown away. There is a further and even greater loss. When a piece of meat is removed from a quarter of beef because of a bruise, the rest of the quarter or part of it has often to be sold at a cent and one- half or two cents a pound •less—not because the neat is poor, but because that part has lost in appearance and sale value, Probably one in every five cattle bought on Canadian stock yards suffers from injury which could be prevented were de=horning commonly practiced, The packers' buyer neces- sarily takes the loss into account and the farmer who sells cattle takes tate risk and a lower price. A united effort is now being made by the Dominion and Provincial De- partments of Agriculture, the live stock exchanges throughout Canada and the meat packers collectively, to get a better knowledge diffused among Canadian farmers of the real im- portance of de -horning. Aft 1 t ,jee. The collar should be fitted to the horse, and not the horse to the collar, The collar that is too large should not be used on a horse in the hope that he will grow large enough so that it will eventually fit. When fitting a collar, the horse should he standing in a natural posi- tion on level ground, with his head held at the height maintained while at work. The collar, when buckled, should fit snugly to the side of the neck, and its face should follow close- ly and be in even contact with the surface of the shoulders from the top of the withers to the region of the throat. At the throat there should be room for a man's hand' inside the col- lar. Collars selected should be examined carefully every time they are to be used. All dirt and sweat should be cleaned off the faces. The surface which comes into actual contact with the neck and shoulders of the horse should always be smooth and hard. To prevent galls and more serious conditions it is not enough to give close attention to the selection of the collar. The horses' shoulders should always be washed and given special care when the animals are at steady work. If the selection of collars has been properly made and all other Beware of Barnyard Drainage. In locating a well, it must be remembered that ground water—the water in the soil which is sought as a source of supply—flows towards streams, creeks, or rivers. It flows down hill, but not necessarily down hill in relation to the surface of the ground. Streams and rivers carry water away from the ground, but do not always 'supply the surrounding polluted or are reasonably suspected ground with water. Therefore, a web as being the source of typhoid fever situated near the banks of a stream or other disease.
