All bones from the table should be broken and packed in wood ashes, the massito be=ti:ept slightly damp. In the course of a few weeks they will be soft, being at- tacked by the potash of the ashes, the result being phosphate of potash, one. of the best fertilizers that can be produced. If artifi- cial fertilizers are purchased let superphosphate be selected, as one bag will be sufficient for half an acre of ground if the compost is also applied. After the crops are off, clean off .the garden; in order to prevent the harboring of insects_ and.also to assist in de- stroying weeds. Manitoba Seems destined to be- come famous for barley.. The Winnipeg Board of Trade reports that the orup last season in the province amounted to 2,000,000 bushels and a .large proportion of the grain sent to Ontario was graded as No. 1 weighing -40 to 5311 pounds to the bushel, where- as. the highest standard barley of Ontario weighs only 44 to 49 pounds. The farms the farmer's capital It is a good business maxium to got a profit from capital as often as possible without- depleting it. Land ought therefore to bo in some crop either for sale or self - renovation. Grass and clouer are renovating crops. Almost al- *. ways when grain is sown, either grass , or- clover eed should be .sown with it. These will do no harm to the grain crop, and a. good seeding even after a years growth or less is better than plow- ing under the weeds that its growth bas -probably displaced. A three -or four inch tire is looked by many rural travellers with something akin to amaze- ment, remarks; the Times. And yet such a tire not only does not damage a road, .whether it be hard or soft, but 'it actually im- proves it, rolling it and making it hard smooth and firm. And, moreover, the load is drawn with greater ease. ' In field work the advantage is equally great. The wheels.do not sink through an ordinary sod, and very little in stubble, while two horses will draw 3000 pounds of manure up. on freshly plowed land with four inch tires to the whoie,when they would be stalled with 1500 pounds upon 1 inch wheels. Every farmer who has badex- perience in under draining knows that one ;of its chief advantages consists in the 'greater warmth thereby imparted to the subsoil. The presence of water in the soil chills it, and all the more if it be. stagnant; because then little or no outside air comes ..in contact• with it. Farmers say, and truly, that undelslrained sbils are cold. By the removal . of water the warmer air of summer is admitt- ed to the subsoil, thus increasing its . temperature. True; this drained land freezes deeper in winter. This greater depth' of frost, expands it, and as. it thaws in spring, the soil does not fall back to its formei-pj ee, but re- mains open and is filled by air gradually warmed as the season advances. Anyone who has tried it knows .how difficult it is to warm -downward. When the. sur- faco soil is heated by the sun in Summer, digging down six or eight inches the soil will feel much cooler. - When dogs kill sheep they gen- erally return'in a night or two to regale:themselves on the carcass. They can then be caught. Make a pen of small straight rails around the dead animal, ten or fourteen feet high, drawing in each successive rail so that the aperture at the top will be about five .feet across. Dogs can easily ascend and will then jump down to the carcass, and it will bo im- possible for them to get out if . the interstices are not wide enough for them to get through. ' The low price of wheat for soy-, eral years past has been partly compensated to farmers by induc- ing them to testits value forfeeding It is,all things taken into account, the king of grains. It gives the elements for sustaining life more fully than any other food. In the albuminoidswheat•is especial ly rich, and it is this that adapts it so well to feeding hens for egg production. It is hardly possible for wheat to bacom so dear that farmers cannot afford to change it for eggs, always much dearer in price. On the farm the shrunken and imperfect wheat should be fed to hens. It dons not need grinding. Fowls havo a grinding apparatus of their own, and do better when it is given due exercise, than when grain, is crushed into meal before feeding to them. To break a dog ofsucking eggs, open an egg atone end, take• out part of the contents and insert a teaspoonful of pulverized cayenne pepper through a small funnel. Hold the dog and let him see tho egg, then put it in his mouth,shut braau►s, anal mob Cha egg. e'kta. is speedy and et cotual, go,ough weeds can grow along AA- Qtd-roar fence raw NA f'eaoh.otth plow to ;seed ;abntl dantly :sates of land,-tb>i ctliuslug a 01$0, deed tiles th± n%o.40417 'ai0ou11t,o 1411q to imp t O'fenoe toil` clean. ,, growth.

Holland bas ill proportion' to its area more-, cows than any other country in the world. It estimated that it has 900,080, producing enough butter for home use, andllaige quantities for ex- ports to England. The Dutch dairymen are scrupulously neat, and the butter from that country is a favorite in the English mark- et. It is also sent in large quan- titicp to Dutch and Danish colon- ies, WHE4T ABROAD. The wheat `prospect in North America has hitherto been influ- enced to some extent by the out put of Australia and South Amer- ica. Whenever those countries yield prolific crops and have a large surplus for export the effect is to bear the market in this part of the world. This year it seems that no such effect is to be appre- hended. The latest advices from the Argentine Republic go to show that the present harvest will not be a very successful:one owing to the heavy rains which prevailed at the ingathering of the wheat crop.in December and January. The maize harvest is in this month. There is a gradual decrease in the quantity of cereals exported from th'e Plate, as immigration and railway extension have powerful- ly aided local consumption. The province of Buenos. Ayres has made rapid strides during the last few years in agriculture. The whole of the land under cultiva- tion in the Republic is estimated to be 100 square leagues more' than in 1888. In South-'Austral– ia the wheat crop has also been deficient. It is doubtful if any will be available for " export, and probably some millions of bushels will havo to be brought in from the American Pacific States. STAY ON THE FARM. The farmer's life is one mixed with toil and pleasure. There is. always work to do on a farm—a gate to mend, a fence to reset, an ox in the ditch, a broken door to repair, a garden to plow, a tan k to build, a crop to plan, a crop to Iplant, a crop to ,cultivate, a crop to gather, and a thousand things Ito keep the active brain and will- ing hands•and feet employed; yet if the farmer wishes a little re-' creation, he can leave his .tool's and labor and spend a day or two in the woods with his gun, or a day with fishing rod on the lakes and streams. It is not so with the business man in the city.' His busines's must go on. He cannot shut his door and walk out. If be takes a day off, .he necessarily has to put some one in his place. Farm life is a real enjoyable life,' if well planned ; but it may be full of misery if not managed with a view of making and mix- ing pleasure with business. Farm. ers do more hard work than busi- ness men; and usually live longer' and harder. Farni life is made more tolerable by the joy' and happiness we get out of it. The business man has his bills ;to pay every- month, andlis often puzzled how to make ends meet. He. loses 'hours of precious sweet, sleep over embarrassments that stalls in his pathway, while the contented farmer, without the fear of being closed up by the sheriff, takes his rest. Farmers have bills to meet, it is true ; but they do not comp like rifle balls from a Witworth gun,every week or two. The' writer has tried farm life and loves it. He bus also tried business in the com mercial world, ;where no allow. ances are made for dry weather, wet weather, short crops or low prices. The commercial world has no sympathy with the busi- ness man. The day his bills fall fall duo he is expected to meet them ; if he is unable to meet them,bis paper is liable to go to I protest, and his business to pieces. I £hose who are doing well in agricultural pursuits should let well enough alone. The cities aro overcrowded with population and poverty. The most indopen• dont class of people in the world is that class that have . a good home on a good 'farm and make a good living. • CONSUMPTION CURED. 111191:41,9170,... •It, is ora of the pacadOea of fife that the - elle , l ,, spa.
