Men do not engage in dairying usual ly for just the fun of the tiling. But they go into it to make money. No man ever made any money out of any business, until he gave it some stud;, and attention. Dairying as a business is no exception. The man who gives it tlie most study is just the man who is making the most money out of It. There are so many small things, up on which success hinges, that slip shod methods will not do here. In the first place, one must know how to se lect good milk cows; he must know flow to feed them, and then lie must know how to take care of and market Ills product to the best advantage. To be profitable, dairying should be carried on the year around. Dairy products command t he highest prices during the fall and winter months, so the dairy man must plan to have plenty of feed to keep his cows in good flow during the months they are off pasture, lie must have part ot his herd to freshen in the fall, and by vise feeding turn his grain and forage in to higli-prieed products.

Reports from tlie Ontario experiment station 'give a report of the annual Ids of different crops i fc Ontario for ilie past twenty-three years. Some of the yields per acre are as follows: Barley, 1301 pounds; winter wheat, 1218 pounds: oats. 1217 pounds; peas 1170 pounds; beans, 1020 pounds; spring wheat, 942 pounds; buckwheat. 93G pounds; rye, 913 pounds. These same crops except beans, show au av erage considerably higher for the years 1902, 1903 and 1904 than for the twen ty-three years. During the last three years also these have been tried in co-operative experiments, many hun dreds of farmers co-operating In grow ing certain crops under the direction of the experiment station. The aver age yields on these farms have been much larger than on the average farms of the province. The reason is easy to understand. These men are in touch wilh the experiment station work, many of (hem having been students j themselves at the agricultural college j or having had sons there who brought • back to the farm the information gained. The fact that the farms of j these men have produced larger crops j shows that success In farming Is the | result of Intelligence and Information.

Every once tn a while one sees in an rgrlcuPmal paper an article on how | to cure kicking cows. With a kicking cow that has the habit well formed, no 1 art will avail, at least when there is a new milker. On this point John Stinson in writing to the Farmers’ Re view says: l have handled a great many kicking cows, and am absolute ly of the opinion that a cow must be- j come acquainted with Iter milker be- j fore he can ever hope to cure her of the propensity, and then the cure will exist only so long as the milker re- • mains with her.

"After drinking coffee for break fast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derange ment of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times 1 had severe head aches; stomach finally became affect ed and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly bene fited by quitting coffee and using Pos- tum Food Coffee; she was troubled ; for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she coul'd have as dellclosss an article as Postum. "Another lady, who had been trou- j bled with chronic dyspepsia for years, j found immediate relief on ceasing coffee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told mo that Postum Food Coffee was a godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum. “So many such cases came to my notice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble and l quit and took up Postum. 1 am more than Mow to D-p'-s Calves. Calves from three to six weeks old, nnd weighing about one hundred pounds, or say from eight to 12U pounds, are the most, desirable weights for shipment. Tlie head ’should be cut out, so as to leave the hide of tlie head on the skin. Tlie entrails should all lie removed, excepting the kid neys; the liver, lights and heart should be* taken out. Cut tlie carcass open from the neck through tlie entile length—from head to bumgut. If this is done they are not so apt to sour and spoil during hot weather because of not being cut open. Don’t wasli the carcass out with water, but wipe out with a dry cloth. Don’t ship until the animal heat is entirely out and hang several hours, or overnight, in an airy place to properly cool off be fore shipping. Calves under fifty pounds should not be shipped, and are liable to lie con demned by the health officers as being unfit for food.

The milker must develop the power io hold liis temper under all conditions. Even then, if the cow is like some that I have known, he will find it to liis advantage to restrain her by a rope put around her legs in the form of a figure “eight.” This should lie placed around the legs just above the bend of tlie legs. Tlie rope should he looped at one end and the loose end passed through tlie loop, completing tlie figure eight. The rest of tliq loose end cun lie in the lap of the milker. The friction of the rope in loop will hold the figure eight in place, and if the cow attempts to kick, it will give only so gradually that she cannot de liver a blow. II it is made fust she will feel herself under restraint and perhaps become excited and throw her self. I found this to be one of tlie best methods for saving the milker from the kick of the cow. that was not enough to boast of, pulled along the streets a very unruly but bouncing daughter. The calf was tied to the tail of the cow by a rope, and had already learned the ineffable joy of hanging limp and being dragged by her fond parent. Fortunately, the rope was not too long for disciplinary purposes, and when exasperated be yond all polite admonition, the cloven hoof of the mother set the daughter upon her feet once more.—Harper’s.

To Test Acidity of Soils. Supposed corrective treatments are often given to soils supposed to lie acid, when as a matter of fact an opposite treatment may be required. A recipe given by the department of agricul ture for determining soil acidity is as follows; Boil for a half hour a sample of the soil to he tested in a small quantity of water, say a quart. Allow it to settle, and when perfectly clear, pour off the water into a white dish and test it with both blue and red litmus paper. These papers can be procured from any drug store for a few cents. If the soil is acid, the blue litmus paper will turn red. If it is alkaline, the red lit- mut paper will turn blue. Ten minutes should he allowed in the water for the litmus paper to chance color. If at the end of that time there *s no change, then the soil is not acid nor alkaline. It should lie understood that such a vest as this is not a determination of whether or not a soil needs lime. The question of liming of a soil is still a mooted subject. Much evidence lias bqen presented to prove that liming ot soil lias been most beneficial when the soil was in no sense sour.

Give young birds all the attention they really need but remember that they are frequently killed by too much care and coddling. l ittle chicks ought (o have all the small sharp grit they can use. At that age birds do not have digestive or gans that have got to working first- class yet, and suitable grit will he of great service. Squab raising fits in nicely with oth or farm poultry work; and will afford variety in the home food, even if no squabs are sold. As the old pigeon feed their young, squab raising does not require a deal of labor.

The Hounslow (England) school children are patterns of politeness.

"It is quite amusing,” the head mis tress said not long ago. "Even tile little ones ask tlie older children to read the rules out loud while they are taking off their coats and hats. “I am very proud of the good man ners of our children, and I take care not to push the chart too much be fore them. For instance, I take it down for a week or two, and then re- hang it. I find in this way tlie chil dren are more interested, and the keeping of the rules does not become mechanical. Tlie “chart of good manners” divided into seven sections. It reads as follows: AS TO THEMSELVES. Be honest, truthful and pure. Do not use bad language. Keep your face and hands clean, and your clothes and hoots brushed. AT HOME. Help your parents as much as you can. Do your best to please them. Be kind to your brothers and sisters.

From Plaster Rock, away down !« yond ‘‘Down East,” in the interior of New Brunswick, a canary bird has come to Boston, and this little canary can talk, says the Transcript, in all ot her respects he is not at nil ntrao- ordinary; he is grayish, without much of the yellow coloring iliat is usual with canary birds in general, ami hi kings as others of liis kind have sun; for centuries, In fact, he Is a fine songster. But the wonderful purl o( it is that lie talks so that he can he understood in l he English language In order to take tills story om ol the class of advance notices of soni- oircus, it may be well to say at this point that tlie unusual bird in ques tion is tile property of John E.

They vouch for the authenticity f the facts which are now to be.ivia; m.

The drivel - , however, was no re peating rumors that ho had hurd. j nit stating facts, for the canary h“’1 referred to was the property o : as ^ aunt To prove tlie truth of what C' - had said he offered to show the bird. Prof. Underwood says of his first hearing lire canary talk, that, it ".i- wliile he was inside the house where it was owned that he heard it say me, sweet little Becky dear. * a ’- ,j bird was hanging in its cage outside the door, and for the lime being i )|0t Underwood had forgotten about the fact that he was to hear a talking 01 ' nary. He wondered what manner o bird it was talking thus, and wonl outside to escape tlie noise of t' 1! sweeping, which happened to he in occupation of his hostess for tlie t' lJ ment.
