' 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\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffde 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 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 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 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrun 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 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdavailable.

INVEST ON THE FARM A group of farmers were oue day [talking together about- farmers', ln- V-eatmenta. .One man declared that mortgages on farms could be had, [.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdealizing five per cent.,' and they>were investments that farmers knew a good leal about. Another advocated putting surplus money into' the banks', or though the Interest >as low yet .he money was safe, and could be got [tt any time. A third, however, the Ichest of the party, then gave his lews, and he was, listened to with ttentlon. \"The practice I have fol- [owed for many years has been, I am mvlnced, more profitable than any .ther I could have taken to. .Every JLme I have found myself with any urplus money I have Invested, It in otne way or'obher on the farm. Either mplements, or fresh stock, fertilisers, epalrs, extra hired labor, or> some- hlng else offered Itself for attention nd tho result proved it a most pro- Itable Investment. If you want a ood use for your money, put it back ito the farm, Just as the city man uts his money back into his busi- less.\" Henderson & Taylor (Associate, Members Can. Soc C. E.)

On the other hand a cow losing her-mllk'is due to a relaxation or an abnormal expansion of the sphincter muscle at the point of' the teat. Many a valuable, hard milking cow has been ruined owing to the fact that the milker haB been compelled to use a milking tube and by the use to useamilking tub* If one can possibly get, along without it. The, proper. method of'handling or over-coming hard milking in cows or heifers is bv the use of a teat plug. The teats should be .washed with a germ killer solution and'the teat plug dipped In the Bame solution, then dipped in a little healing ointment and passed into the point of'the teat. The teat plug being self retaining should bn permitted to remain In the teats from one milking to another. This will positively overcome hard milking -In cows and heifera. 1 ,,, 1 --' Ten Aer,es one-quarter Miles from Abbotsford will soon >e annexed to town!

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.

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. ^-,.
