Some say. the draft horse business is going to be overdone again. I want to .say there never has heen a time in the history of the draft horse when a good one was not wanted at a price’ considerably above his reasonable cost, even wlgen the market was at its worst, not to mention the more profitable period. In Europe, where the improved breeds have been kept continuously for centuries, the draft horse is considered the most proﬁt:}ble animal on the farm, and tkis with land worth 20 times as much as ours, and feed much more expensive. In studying the draft horse, we must not overlook his twofold relation to agriculture. First, his great usefulness in actual labor performed in the pursuit of agriculture; second, as being himself a profitable product of agriculture. ~—Prairie Farmer.

The Lion and the Lamb.

The Philadelphia Ledger tells = this interesting story “A Callaway county farmer, Bas Kimbrell, made the. odd discovery the other day that he was harboring lambs and foxes under the same roof without either attempting injury to the other. Mr. Kimbrell had noticed a fox about his place a good deal lately, but ‘as he had no gun and had not missed any of his lambs, he made no effort to kill it. One day he noticed -Reynard creep into the straw shed, where he kept his lambs, and he ran to see what the animal was about. In a nest in the straw of which the north wall was built he found the old fox and three little ones comfortably ensconced. The lambs had been playing all about the old sha fox, but she never molested ‘them.”

Study in Wheat Culture.

Mr. A. D. Hall, of England, who has experimented extensively in wheat culture, has come to the conclusion that a great deal depends upon the time of cutting. When green wheat begins to swell the first thing that comes into it is albumen, and the last packing is almost pure starch. If, therefore, it is possible to shorten the ripening period and pt;event the starqh element from entering the grain, the grain must of necess?ty be much stronger. Mr. Hall is inclined to the opinion that farmers would do well to cut wheat while it is yet in a green state, as by so doing they will get the grain richer in nitrogenous elements and, richer in gluten—a stronger wheat'in fact, |

WHAT FARMERS NEED MOST

Sencible, Practical Education, to Be - Continued Through Life by Constant Study.

The farmer’s greatest need is education. He should have as good education as our public schools can give as a foundation for the special knowledge of the different branches of farming which he pursues. The farmer needs to read and study more than he does. It is not uncommon to hear farmers so discuss matters pertaining to their husbandry that it is clearly evident that they are uninformedaboutthingswhich they should understand in order to get the best returns for money and labor expended. : : In the United States there is no excuse for farmers to be without considerable knowledge of farming in its different branches. Our federal government does a great amount of investigation, the result of which is given gratis to every one. The different states have agricultural colleges and experiment stations, where investigations and experiments are constantly carried on, and in different ways do those institutiens seek to interest the farmers in their work that they may learn the truths which scierce has revealed. The farmer must be able to see which crops will, as a rule, be most beneficial for him to raise. He must v.mderstza,ndi what different crops require ig qrder to vield the most, and he should know how to so work his land that it gradually will come to be in the best condition, and he needs to understand how to maintain it so. The farmer also needs to know how to feed and care for his animals; know the value of the different feeds he uses and their effects on the difféerent animals in the different stages of their lives, so as to get the best returns for what he expends. Knowing these things, it will not be difficult to produce in abundance. There need not be such a thing as an abandoned farm because it.is exhausted. The farmer also needs to know how to market , his produce. Having acquired the knowledge and worked diligently and produced in abundance, the farmer still stands hopeless; he cannot market his produce at any time, when the markets happen to be the best the roads are often impassable. One of the greatest needs of the farmer is good roads. ‘The loss to the nation from having bad roads is incomputable. Good roads benefit every élass of people, directly or indirectly. We are wealthy enough to build good roads: the farmer alone should not build them. .

With better knowledge of farming and good roads we would have a far better country than we have. Our pecuniary circumstances would be greatly improved. There would be greater sociability and more contentment among the farmers, less congestion in the cities and higher intellects: this would very materially help to guide the .nation sdfely through political campaigns. Only the uninformed can be misled. Let us acquire ‘knowledge and work faithfully.” With good roads, productive soil and abundant resources we can prosper as no other nation on earth.—N. C. Jorgensen, in N. Y. Tri-bune-Farmer., o

EXCELLENT CLOD CRUSHER.

The Oné Here Described Is Much More Effective Than the Type Now ’ in General Use. .

In many sections the preparing of ground for planting is a difficult problem. If a_clod crusher is used do not have it with a flat crushing surface. The one in the illustration, with sev- , & === E =—— S CLOD CRUSHER., eral crushing edges, is much more effective. It is made of two inch hard lumber eight inches wide, and about even feet long. The boards are held in place by three strips of iron onehalf inch thick and three inches wide, bent, into notches two inches deep and six inches: long, except the last one behind, whieh! is to be eight inches long. Any blacksmith can do this work. The boards are bolted fast to the iron strips with the heads underneath. As the boards are wider than the notches, they will overlap two inches. Two pieces of iron with rings in the end are bolted to the front board three or four feet apart, for the purpose of hitching with a chain. Comf(ort may be added by attaching a séat from some old machinery.—A. Franklin Shull, in Orange Judd Farmer. How to Handle Barb Wire. Wire fence is the fence of the present day, and likely to be for some years to come. A farmer often wishes to move a string of barb wire fence to some other -place. To do so is & job that tries the patience and cuts the hands. Let metell you how to handle it and have no more trouble. Take the spool on which the wire was originally rolled, run a good, strong, smooth stick through it and driveawedge in firmly at one end to keep the spool from turning on stick; now fix a crank firmly to one end of your stick and fasten one end of wire to the spool. Two men take hold of the stick, the right-hand man holding the stick with his left hand, and turning the crank with his right hand. Walk right along and you will be suprised how easily and rapidly you can take up wire. A little different form of spool and a crank on each end will take up woven wire the same 4as barb.—Farm Journal.

Provide for Good Draingge.

The past two seasons have been wet ones. A large amount of snow fell the past winter. This spring the ground will be thoroughly soaked. 'What the summer weather will be is of course a guess, but it is safe to‘ provide for thorough drainage, as this work will result in better crops in either a wet or a dry seasomn. wlf wet, the best of tiling and surface drainage will be necessary. Plans should be made early. The idea that thorough drainage is unnecessary. has been pretty effectually dissipated. If the season is very dry, the land will stand the drouth better for having been well drained. For best results any season, plan to drain your farm as thoroughly as possible.— Orange Judd Farmer. /

SEASONS AND DISEASES.

Some Affections Prevail Especially in Summer and Others in Do o Winter

It is a common belief, popular as well as medical, that there is a relation between the seasons and disease. Some affections prevail especially in® the summer, others in the winter, and others again in the spring or the autumn, when sudden and great changesﬁ in the temperature are common, says Youths’ Companion. ] It is not always easy to explain the preference of certain maladies for certain seasons. There i 3 no apparent reason why typhoid fever should suddenly attack a great number of people just at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, yet such is the fact. It is possible that the streams become low at that time, and so the poison in the drinking water is more cohcentrated, or it may be that the flies are then ‘more active in distributing the germs;. but these are only guesses, and do not satisfactorily explain. B ] The prevalence of smallnox in winter is explained partly by the fact that vaccine virus, and presumably, therefore, smallpox virus as well, is very resistant to cold, and is destroyed by a moderate degree of contiruous heat. But probably thHe lack of ventilation has much more to do with it, the poison being concentrated in the stagnant air which fills so many of our homes in winter. It has been shown conclusively that this is*soo in the case of typhus fever, now happily an almost extinct disease, and we cannot doubt that the same cause is active in the spread of other so-called winter diseases. The moral is so evident that he who runs may read it—fresh air, open windows and free ventilation in all living apartments and bedrooms.

A recent issue of the Shelbyville, Illinois, Democrat, contains a long and interesting letter from Mr. Elias Kost, formerly a prosperous farmer of that state, who recently emigrated to Western Canada, taking up a claim for himself and for each of his three sons, From Mr. Kost’s letter, which was written Feb. 3, 1504, we publish the following, believing it will prove of great interest to those who have contemplated settling in the Canadian Northwest: “I had in August,l9o2, secured a claim for myself, and filed on three quarter sections for my sons. My claim is onehalf mile south of the Edmonton and Lake-St. Anne trail.

“Coming so late in the season we had little opportunity to break and to prepare ground for a first year’s crop, still we raised over 100 bushels of very fine potatoes, and sowed a few acres of barley, but the season was too far advanced for the barley. However, we secured good feed from it, and on rented ground 18 miles east of us, raised a fine crop of oats, so that we will have plenty of feed for horses. We cut about 60 tons of hay and thus will have an abundance. We have, all told, about 240 acres of hay meadow, which would yield the past year over three tons to the acre, and in an ordinary season the meadow would furnish 600 tons of hay. The grass‘is very nutritious, and cattle on the ranges become very fat without being fed a pound of grain, ™o “On the upland the grass grows from eight to ten inches tall. This is called range grass, and is suitable for stock at any time, even in the winter when the ground is not covered too deep with snow. Horses subsist on it alone, at all times, provided they are native stock. The grass in the hay meadows here is called red-top, and grows from five to six feet in length, and when cut’ at the proper time yields an abundant :rop of nutritious hay. o “Our cattle have not cost us a cent since we came on our homestead, only the small outlay for salt and labor in putting up hay and shelter. All cattle have been doing well this winter, and feeding up to the first of January was unnecessary, as there was- good range up to that time,

““All the snows up to that date were followed by winds from the northwest thap melts it very rapidly; these winds are called Chinook winds, and are always warm. In one night a Chinoock wind may take away three or four inches of snow. “We haye built on our claim a comfortable house of hewn logs, §ox26 feet, one and one-half stories in height, with a good cellar. During the latter part of June we rafted logs down the Sturgeon to a sawmill, about eight miles away, and thus secured 5,000 feet of good lumber which was needed for the house. Later in the season a shingle mill located six miles away. To this we hauled logs and had shingles cut for the roof.

“We had an abundance of wild fruit the past season, consisting of gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries, eyeberries, blueberries, cherries and saskatoons. The latter are a fine looking berry, red, and quite pleasant to the taste, but not much to be desired in cqokery. The strawberries are the same as those that grow wild in Illinois. ' Raspberries are red in color, large and equal to any of the tame varieties, and so are the gooseberries. The cranberries consist of the high and trailing varieties. The latter are most sought and contiguous to the Swamps. The ground is literally covered with"them as with a red carpet, but the best and most soughtis the blueberry, so called by the Indians. This is the famous ‘huckleberry’ (whortleberry) of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsylvania, and cannot be excelled for excellence by any fruit _cultivated. It is found here both on the prairie and in the timber in immense quantities. “Game is very plentiful so far as prairie chickens, pheasants, ducks of all kinds, and geese are concerned. We have taken nearly 500 chickens and pheasants, also a great many ducks, ‘““An occasional deer is seen, but are not plentiful, only one having been taken during the season in this settlement, . :

“Fish are very plentiful at all seasons of the year. Fish wagons and sleds are passing almost'daily along the trail with heavy loads of fish, destined for St. Albert And Edmonton. From the latter point they are shipped south on the Calgary and Edmonton railroad to points along the line, and also to Assiniboia, on the Canadian Pacific railroad.”

Spring fever is simply “that tired feeling” a lassitude caused by a sluggish condition of the blood. The liver and bowels need a cleaning out in the spfing, and nothing is so effective and at the same time so pleasant to take as Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. Too many people riake the skin do the work that the bowels and kidneys should do. A bilious, constipated condition means a yellow skin, lusterless eyes, foul breath, and a generaf worn out feeling..

I have f given it to all of my children at i different times when they suffered i withcroup, colds and the many ail- } ments thatchildren are subject to, and am pleased to say that it has ¢ kept them in splendid health. I have also used it for a catarrhal s difficulty of long standing and it?* cured me in a short time, so I have t every reason to praise Peruna.”’— . Mrs. K.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire Household Against Catarrhal Diseases. ~ '

One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is our changeable climate. To . protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible.

Sooner or laterit is the inevitable fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposureand the useof proper clothing will protect fromthe frequency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautiéns they will come. This is a. settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or somehow. .

Perhaps it will be wet: feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it mmay be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one is shrewd enongh to always avoid the inevitable catching cold.

There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in-all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once inthe family Peruna always stays. No-home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it.

Mrs. A. Hobson, 225 Washington St., Lansing, Mich., writes: “‘Peruna has been such a blessing tomy only child, as well as myself, that I feel induced to give my testimonial. He has always suffered fromcatarrhof the head andthroat, and I had to use exfra precautions SO &8s not tec have him expesed to damp or cold weather. Last year he was taken with la grippe, and as it was a severe case, caused me much anxiety. No medicine helped him till he took Peruna. I noticed an improvement at once and in three weeks he was a different child; the grippe had been completely cured and I noticed that the catarrh was made better. He kept taking it two weeks longer, when he was entirely well. I now use it offand on for colds, cramps, indigestianor general indisposition,and find it superior to any doctors or medicine I ever tried. It keeps me, as well as my child, in perfect ‘health, and 1 gladly recommend it to mothers.’”’—Mrs. A. Hobson.
