W., Toronto, it4istekes hi Buying fated. One of the first things to consider When planning to go to a new pltree, is to fled out whether that pertieular section of the country is suited to the Iciest of farming you propose to de. Next; find out whether there is a good market for the' things you will grow. Then there is the all.i.mportant ques- tion, the health of the conununity; ?text, the moral and serial conditions of the people, Many people who change locations are indttoecl to do so by some real estate agent, The individual decides that he wants to go to some other place to Iive, and writes to maybe a doeen real estate agents in es many different places; and the agent that claims the moat impossible things for his special section of country is the one that gets the most consideration in far toe many instances. As I have had some experience with this, I want to give some advice to people who... contemplate moving to a new location. Never buy until you are sure that you have the kind of land you need for your particular kind of farthing; don't buy land with the idea of grow- ing crops that you know nothing about. When you go to a new loca- tion to look at a piece of land with the idea of buying it, never be in too big a hurry; better pay a few days' hotel bill than to lose a l'ew thoutnnd dollars in the deal. Now let me say that it is an easy matter to get fooled in regard to val- ues in farming land. You may see a farm that looks as good as farms sell- ing for $200 per acre near your old home, and in fact it may be ,just as fertile; but that is no proof that ft it worth as much locally or anything near it. While it may produtie as Mulch per acre, You may not, have ' a market for your crp'ips. There are too many things • that influence the values lan•for me to try t.o call attentionof to thdem nl'1, Tha beat w..ey to find out the value of the land is to go and talk privately .to the people Alto own land around tiro piece you are .thinking of buying. Ask them all about it, what it otigbt to sell for, err. Next, go to the local banker and ask him' what the land you want to buy is worth, and find out bow much money he t!;otild loan you on it:. Then go to the tax books and find out what the taxes aro on the property, and what per cent, of value property in that county is taxed. Better take this trouble than to pay Iwo or three times the value of the property. Another big mistake enany people make in buying •farms, is to buy a top expensive farm for the amount of cap- ital they have. You can take a very little money and buy a large or high- priced fm'm. You pay down all the money you have as first payment, then you find that you have to go in debt for your supplies., When your first note comes due you can not meet it; hence you lose what you paid down on the place. If you had bought• a smaller and cheaper farm you would have had no trouble in meeting the payments.. Better buy a small place at first. And never pay out all your money—keep enough to run you until you make a crop. You can make more money if you have a little money to use ars you go. Co slow at first; it is the safest tvay. t� As the poultryman starts the new year, it is advisable that be start oper- ations on a well-planned system. Sys- tem saves both time and money, and makes the work more pleasant and much easier. At this time of the year it is not always the most pleas- ant task to go out to do the chores among the poultry, but the man who takes a deep interest in the work goes about it cheerfully, just the same. • On days that are intensely cold, or when there ate high winds or cold rains, or if there is snow on the ground, it is best to keep the fowls in- doors. If they have plenty of house room, and a good supply of litter to encourage scratching, the hens will not only busy themselves, but will warns up their bodies and feel a great Ileal more comfortable than if allowed to be outdoors. It is the comfort- able, contented hen that does good winter laying,. - Keep up the good work of culling, Get rid of every undesirable fowl, so as to cut down the expense and en- courage the workers. bblloty g•ood business principles. Gather the eggs several times each day, and especially when the days are very cold. Eggs that are intended for incubation should be held in a temperature of 50 degrees.. There is spmething wrong with pul- lets that do not start laying this month, Either they have been hatched very late, or they have not been pro- perly fed and eared for. Do not ship dressed poultry to mar- ket before the middle of this month, unless by speoial order. Many peo- ple have not yet fully recovered from the holiday feasts, and chickens do not 41L, Family Portrthts r;'tsib"iU:4,"c;i'[ittl�l•!$:'(+l!$1?.d!c&i$.'^utv:^.!isl'ccr.'2:'sU "Really, you needn't laugh, . `• the thine!

Uncie Jim was esteemed in the family as arising young biologist, to say nothing of being a very lovable young follow to boot. His invitations were never slighted. Even Mr, Everts joined the procession to the library at seven o'clock. "He probably hes pictures of our skulls or somothhig equally artistic!" Recline grumbled. But there were no pictures what- ever; indeed, at first sight there was nothing unusual; then Jack gave 0 shout. He had discovered a sheet of paper covered with Uncle Jim's scrawling' writing, under a big inter- rogation point. "`Adore,'" he read "`Darling— Crazy over--Crush—The thing—Ele- gant. Garnish plentifully with italics.'" The boy's voice, full of per- plexity, cleared to a whoop of joy. "I know—it's Ev!" • "Never mind," Beeline retorted, coloring a little over the applause that greeted the recognition of the salient characteristics of her vocabulary. "Here's another, `Us fellers—Islay ball —Runk— Bonehead—Sport--- Airships —You bet!'

'"We've enjoyed the exhibition so much, Mr. Kline," she said, "7 am expecting to give a little one myself, very soon. I do hope you will be ahle to come."

Give them plenty of exercise and keep 'them wltero they can see the other cattle Jeep* Sheep can be wintered with a smal- ler use of grain than is needed for other live stock. All depends upon the kind of hay or other roughage used, Coarse -stemmed hays like timothy, red top and bhtagrass have very few leaves and therefore are poor sheep feeds. Timothy is un- palatable, causes constipation, and the dry timothy heads work into the wool, causing irritation to the skin, lessen- ing the value of the clip and making shearing difficult. Whorl timothy or other coarse -stemmed hay le fed to sheep in winter quarters, supplement- ary protein feed is needed, From on•e quarter to one-half pound of linseed meal per envie daily should be used, de- pending upon the size and cotditiot of the animal and the other feed used.

Instead of feeding it to dairy cotes, give it to the herd bull and use alfalfa, clover, vetch, cow -pea or velvet -bean hay for the milkers. Skim -milk, if made into cottage - cheese, furnishes »early seven times as much protein and nearly as much energy as the dressed ,pork it would produce.

"Uncle Andrew," Jessica cried pas- sionately, "how do you stand it?" "Stand what, little girl?" her uncle replied. "All the sin and suffering and pain in the world. If I find it so hard here where I see so little, if T feel the burden of it all the time, how do you steed it over there in China?" They were down by the wharves then. Before them were"a dozen ves- sels rocking slowly on the tide; some, already loaded, lay close to the water, but many of them, sat high, and all those ehow'ed marks upon. their hulls. Her uncle pointed to one of them. "Do you see those marks?" he ask- ed. "Do you luno* what they are for ?" The girl. shook her head, "They are the marks that indicate the capacity of a vessel—the amount of burden that it may legally carry. You will see that they are not the same; the limit of safety differs in dif- ferent vessels. But wherever the line is, its place has been carefully com- puted, and it is a crime to send that vessel to sea overloaded. However great the amount of cargo waiting to be transported, no vessel can carry more than its own appointed share; rap matter what the urgency, to canny more is a crime. "It is God's world, child, not ours. We have a certain amount to be re- sponsible .for, but not more.
