During ray sojourn in that country nine ,years ago I found the leading men greatly exercised concerning the threatened dismemberment , of their country.

Thoroughbred stallions, i.f really good individuals, may be expected to' exert such an influence, nh .the development 'of Canadian horses for saddle and harness use,'as is greatly needed and greatly, to be ' desired. The premium placed upon quality, soundness; and prepotency through'the'grants awarded by the Department is serving to check the use of unsuitable sires" and is pending to conserve a type of thor-r oughbred, the utility of which is beyond question. While, as perhaps should be statn od, it iis.not the intention,of the Department to encourage the breeding of thoroughbred horaeB or do -develop *a .type in l������.ghit. horses .approximating closely to1 that, of the thoroughbred, ^h'ere. is no \ question but that a strong* infusion of thoroughbred blood in the light legged mares -of the; country will be of inestimable val* u'o in improving the quality pt the stock ,got from' them by' stallions of the various light harness breeds. Believing himself to be justified therefore, in further prosecuting the policy begun last year, the ^Honorable 'Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has authorized the continuance of the .grant, to- be available' for all thoroughbred. stallions, standing for public serv- ���������.ire, 'to be kept, at an annual serv- ce 'fee, except in the case of thor- .Mughbredi mares, of noit more than jilO.OO 'to insure, such service fee to become due and payable only when ,mares .prove to oeMiWoal. x Any. persom, firm or corporation owning or'controlling any thor- ouughbred" stallion in regard to which'all of'the conditions above ���������j-et forth shall' have* been duly and,properly fulfilled, shall on production of satisfactor ^.'evidence .hereof and" of' the fact' that a reasonable number of mares, other Cham thoroughbred mares, havej i * * * ��������� been iserve'd"cfuring the season, be entitled to receive'at "the'close of -���������ach such season the sum of $250 Jrom' .the funus'of the 'Live Stock' .-.Jra rich. if; in the' event of a horse dying or becoming .lhcap- -.tcita.tect ior' service aunrig tyae season, an approved substitute is immediately placed in' the same district,, the Minister niaiy, after due consideration' of the circum������ hey abhor tlie fifst .and it poss: would always avoid the latter.

The animals, in question are giving up .their ancient habit of burrowing) and have com-' menced in-great part to - imitate tlie hares, which, -as is well known, nest only above, ground. The hares, themselves were once burrowers, and gradually went through the same change in habits In this .particular that appears to characterize the ,rab- bits at the'present day ��������� at any rate in Germany; In woods where tho undergrowth is thick, and which are therefore especially suitable to the rabbits, they find hiding places in plenty for their nests; and even In open country, unwooded ��������� and the rabbits 3eems to be taking more and more to the open ��������� they take refuge In board-piles, rubbish-heaps, brush- piles, brick-kilns, drain-pipes, and flitches that are overgrown with weeds. The female makes little fortresses for her young, to protect them from the, cannibaliflt4c. propensities, of the male; she lines the ne3t warmly with fur from her own breast, visits them secretly at night, and perhaps suckles them once more during, the .24. hours; but each time that she leaves them she carefully piles rubbish before the opening which leads to her defenseless family, and defiles the obstructions with ordure.' y x t i is apace $ - T ' *f,r- f.:,: JL-~- i X t T T T Jf your Subscription to the.

' The reason is that' up to' a certain extent household scraps go a long way to reduce the cost of .fe'pdinf hiit beyond-that limit there .arises the necessity to n������e purchased food. - For instanpp. an amateur commences with half a dozen "hens, and 'by careful- management and the- use jof scraps-be reaps a moderate profit. 'Encouraged by .this result, he resolves to double his stock,.but the returns no lo^f/pr show ' such -a high'profit per. head, because the household scrpn? have to be divided ��������� among a larger number of birds, and wore food has to be bought.-- In- this way. the .small poultry-keeper often allows amh'*'on. to, override discretion, for whether it pays better in the. long ���������run to keep a dozen hens that give a .s'inoii -profit ' per head than' halfi a dozen giving one half more per head .depends ent'~ely upon the snace ���������available. As economic production .Is the basis of successful poultry- kpenfne. the flock that can- be kept most cheaply is bound to be the most, profitable. ON'T think' that concrete "can be'used .only for building bridges, silos, walls and walks; because if you do; you will- probably, overlook all the places where you. 'can use it now. T.���������L. Irving, of North Georgetown, Quebec, used concrete for 81 different purposes on his farm in, 1911. " , There are probably at least a dozen profitable uses' for concrete'on your farm at.the present moment.

Lunch signs are displayed prominently on drug stores. One drugist explains it this way: "When the saloons closed, folks tried to get. their drinks in drug stores. But these went dry, too, and there was a boom in soft drinks. In cool weather/crackers were , served with hot drinks. Folks found this a substitute for free 'lunch.' Finally the free lunch became too elaborate and we put in lunch counters. Now every drug store in Oklahoma City is selling sandwiches, chill con carne, cake and pie."

OF THE FOAL Some Useful Adv'ce on the Time and Method of Estranging Mares and Their Offspring. Most of the "brood mares in the country.are required for the rush of fall work, and it is not fair .to them to be expected to feed the foal whiii they are thus expending most of their energy tilling the soil. Both the mare, and the colt will do better if the youngster is weaned, provided he Is liberally. Jed and, has..been .taught t^f derfully fertile 'plains stretch fro: the Carpathians to the Urals and' \r the'"Upper'. Oka in the north. Tbr black ea/rtih is a kind of loess or de .posit with a, percentage of humus due to the decay for an (incalculable period of.', herbaceous vegetation. On the pnimdrtdve Russian system of rotation of'.crops known as -the "three-filds" system corn has been grown every year for from 60 to 70 years without i manure. In the south, towards the ' Black Sea, the thickness of the deposit, of black earth diminishes, and It disappears altogether in some of the', river valleye.' The wonderful fertility of' the black lands will explain why with her own teeming population Russia, ia able to grow sufficient wheat not only to meet .her own needs but to export an immense quantity from the busy wharves of Odessa. A' large percentage of the Russian ^export of wheat reaches the London "market; and'as a rule Russia ranks neit to - the United States in the amount of wheat .exported to Glreat Britain, the largest wheat-im- portiaig country on record. ^-,.

VANCOUVER MARKET Mr. John McMillan, manager of the Vancouver City Market, wasi in town on Wednesday, last look- ingl;aftert he interest's of that concern. Mr. McMillan took charge of the knja'rke.t last year arid has been able ;to demonstrate that it ispos- sible. to have a market in Vancouver that is really of service to the -city, and a benefit - to .those who ihave produce' to .sell, and the latter (is every farmer, large or small, (in the Fraser Valley. - With 'such (excellent transportation sefv- icestas the people of .the south side of the Fraser have- it is""an"'easy matter/to get the produce' to Vancouver. If the-market Is-run on 'such a basis as to be able' to quickly dispose of produce there is no reason why the Fraser Valley farmer should not be adie< to .supply the Vancouver market instead of having that city - import from the American side. It is-unnecessary to pall attention 'io the different articles; of the farm which is consumed by the people of a , large city, nor the amount, but at the present Btage of'development it would be a hard matter to glut the'market with produce 'shipped from the Fraser Valley: Mr. McMillan informs this paper, that he has been very successful during 'the past year, and on his rounds for the second time among the farmers he has heard very fit- tie complaint. In fact he says he says' he wants to come across t'he man with a complaint against the market, 'so that the cause may be adjusted. Fresh for your preakfast.
