IMIIM Manitoba is now commencing to produce considerable corn, chiefly for Naming purposes, in some cases, Where the crop can be matured into the dough stage, silos could be used and would be a profitable investment. According to the Farm and Ranch Re­ view, a correspondent visited a field of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep­ tember 28. The corn then was un­ touched by frost and it stood on an average eight and nine feet is height. The corn had developed into the dough stage, and the crop would easily exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many experimental farms, the same favor­ able showing of the corn crop has manifested itself. At the Brandon ex­ perimental farm this year several va­ rieties, all very good yielders, matured into good silo corn. Considering the success with which corn can be produced, and the advan­ tages to be,gained by so producing it, should not it receive the serious at­ tention of the western agriculturist? Corn is successfully grown in the northern part of Minnesota. In simi­ lar soil and under the tame climatic condition, and there does not appear to be any reason , why like results should not be secured ic western Can­ ada. It is the opinion of many Ameri­ can farmers of experience that the corn belt Is extending northward. The prairie provinces must gradually take up with mixed farming. More stock on the farms must be raised, and in consequence farming miist to some extent be diverted from grain growing to other necessary crops. If crops suitable for wintering cattle and espe­ cially dairy stock are vto be grown, why should not corn be one of these crops? In Ontario and in the United States we find It forms the main bulky food for wintering beef and dairy cat­ tle. They would not be without this profitable plant. In fact, since its In­ troduction almost twice as much stock can be retained on the same amount of land, besides considering its great value for keeping the land clean. Some may say that many crops that can be grown in Ontario and the States cannot be grown here, but not so with corn, even now we find scat­ tered fields of corn in Alberta and Saskatchewan.--Advertisement, Hard Luck.

A very large proportion of the un Sightly poultry in our markets aside from the rubbing and tearing of the skins, Is caused by an incomplete re­ moval of the blood. This is evidenced by red dots which frequently occur where the feathers have been removed, especially over the thighs and wings, or by the email veins which are seen over the breast and in the angles of the wings, or larger veins, which mar the appearance of the neck. Generally it is the neck which shows most plainly the presence of blood in the fowl or that a wrong method has been used in cutting the blood vessels In an attempt to empty them. The neck is the first part to discolor, becoming first red, then bluish red or purple and finally green as aging progresses. Two sketches of a chicken's head are here shown from which the lower jaw has been removed. The lower jaw of the chicken is much longer than the beak. It runs back to- a point just below the ear, where the hinged joint can be felt. The skin which makes the corner of the mouth and limits the length of the beak ends is indi­ cated in the anatomical drawing marked "A." The skin and lower Jaw have been cut away in order that the position of the veins which lie far back of the roof of the mouth and Just below its surface may be seen. The groove which occurs in tbe roof of the chicken's mouth is a guide to the position of the blood vessel which Unseen in its approach, hard to de­ tect in its early stages, and cruelly painful in its later forms, uric add poisoning is a disease too often fatal. Blight's disease is one of the stages of uric acid poisoning. It in our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two--consumption and pneu­ monia. Bright's disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney dis­ ease and uric poisoning. When uric acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over- indulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there is head­ ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine. Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stpne !n the kidney, or crystallises into jagged bite in the muscles, joints or on tbe nerve tubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciat­ ica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney colic.

If these large veinB are to be severed, the cut inuBt be made far enough back to reach them before they penetrate the bones Of the skulL On the other hand, i* the cut is made too far back and over the edge of the skull, as is shown in connection with the illustration, much of the blood will settle in the loose tissue of the neck instead of running out of the mouth, thereby clogging the ves­ sels and preventing complete bleed­ ing, as well as making unsightly dis­ colored areas in the neck near the head. It is better to make one cut as shown in this plate rather than to cut the "bridge" in the middle or to cut each side vein separately, since this sometimes results In the clot­ ting of the blood at the ends of the veins before the bleeding 1b completed. Below Is shown the position of a chicken ready for killing andvheld by the feet in a U-shaped shackle. No­ tice that the thumb of the killer is pressed firmly down on the head just below and behind the ear in the space to which attention was called when discussing the bones of the skull. Here, too, is the hinge of the jaw. Pressure of the thumb on one side of this portion of the skull and on the other eide at the same place with the forefinger, or with the forefinger and second finger, will result in opening the chicken's mouth, and holding It open while the operator makes thv cut to bleed. Held in such fashion, there is nothing to obstruct the blood vessels, thereby preventing the blood from escaping even though these ves­ sels be cut The pressure against the ]a3r makes accurate cutting of the veins easier, since the bird can not close its mouth until the pressure is removed. Of course, care must be taken not to stretch the neck unduly, else the TcoSsIe will be pulled to bucu a narrow diameter that they are more difficult to And and also more difficult to empty. The position of the knife in the mouth, which is shown by the dotted, line, needs no further explanation. The knife itself, however, is very differ­ ent from that ordinarily used in the oleeding of chickens. The knife in common use is much too large, both too long and too broad for the most successful work. Ineffectual cutting, due to a lack of knowledge of the structure of the chicken's neck and head, the use of force rather than skill on the part of the operator, and a knife ill adapted to the work which it has to do is illus­ trated by the cut above, which shows "When "Icur'&tck Is lame--KcmambwghiffitantB* JESTS BROUGHT UP TO DATE Waff"?

A study of these illustrations indicates very plainly why these chickens are badly bled. The- lower jaws from these headB were removed so that the position of the cuts could be noted. Head A has had two cuts. One has run parallel with the connection between the two veins and very close to it but has not cut it, and another has run from -the angle of the mouth too close to the point where the blood vessel on the left side of the head breaks into the two smaller vessels and penetrates the bones of the skull. The only ves­ sels which were cut in this chicken were the small superficial veins sup­ plying the roof of the mouth and from which the bleeding amounted to al­ most nothing. Head B shows a cut in the ngnf direction but it did not go quite far enough back to reach the veins at their junctions-Head A, in the cut shows the cross cut which is advocated by so many; killers. In this case it was made too far front Both of the large veins escaped and only tbe small vessels of the roof of the mouth were disturbed. "B" is a good illustration of indiscriminate cut­ ting by a badly directed knife, which in all probability waa far too large, since the upper cut extends all the way across the roof of the chicken's mouth and almost as far front as the beak. Another cut which partly fol­ lows the groove in the roof of th« mouth would indicate that the kilta had tried to make a cross cut. . The Thieving Ear of Cam. twelve ears of corn will plant an acre. If one of the planted ears hap­ pens to be "no good" there is a twelfth of an acre missing.

Hotel men in this town have joined forces to discourage the woman who deliberately jostles the waiter so that he spills food on her dress and then claims damages therefor. According to a manager, one New York woman, says tho Evening World of that city, visited five hotels on five successive evenings, and in each case caused a bowl of soup to be upset over her gown. Hereafter, detectives will keep an eyo on diners and note whether the waiter or the guest does the spilling. It used to be related of impecunious young army officers in London that when they hadn't the price of a meal, they went to a swagger restaurant and toward the close of an elaborate dinner slipped a cockroach into the ice cream. . Then, after a tremendous outcry, they marched indignantly forth, followed by abject apologies from the proprietor--and* of course, not a hint about paying for the dln: ner.
