Turkçys hatehed as late as july ist will make profitable birds, though for heavy-weights the earlier tbey are hatched the better. Cultivate often. It warms the soil in early spring. It allows even light rains to penmeate the soil and retains the moisture for use in summer. The basis of a nation's prosperity is the broad shoulders of its farmers. Place burdens on these shouldera and ail others will be weighed down and tumes will be hard. Milk and eggs are two articles that are always sold for cash, and they en- ables the famer to receive daily t-e- tut-ns. He does flot have to wait for harvest tume with such produets. It is usually a foolish waste of money to feed a dry cow through a long win- ter; more is to be made by seîling both eow and feed. Few cows are good enough to keep unless they are giving milk liberally. I mproved breeds of cattîe are regard- ed with favor because they have large feeding capacity. The 1,breed and the trough"- cati only be cornbined by se- lecting stock that makes the most gain froni the food.

Part of his wheat has been stored in warehouse for a long time and he will draw the moliey flow at top price. This is one phase of the grain business that gives the farmer a chance to speculate in his own product. Pure devutry Dave Clark, the west end butcher, found his wheel punctured Friday nigbt last, and an examination showed that a fine sharp instrument, such as a needle, had been pusbed tbrough both tires to the wood rim, making a double punc- ture in the air tube.
