Winter is his reading season. The long evenings afford ample time for the perusal of literature not only pertaining to 'his owh business, but of all kinds. Farm- ers, like men in other professions, must keep informed, or thev will find themselves in the rear of the proces sions for a competency. Ten vears ago, savs the Ottawa Valley Journal, there were in On tario 2,057,882 head of cattle, valued at $47,718,025. In 1902 the number was 2,562,581, an increase of less | than half a million, but the "value had increased to $63,517,342. Swine ten vears ago were valued at $6,622. 129, whilé to-dav they are worth $11. 35, an increase of nearly eighty pet cent. Horses have also increased {in value to the extent of $5,000,000, while all farm property total over a billion dollars in cash. And all these Lind have been accomplished without inerease of population, Experiments at the Ontario Agricul- tural College prove that seed potatoes sprinkled with land plaster, lime, ete., give better results in yielding than | potatoes prepared in any gather wav. For destroying 'quack br "scuioh'" grass plough the land shallow--about four inches deep--in the fall. and as the plant cannot stand frost, all the | roots exposed to the wegther will be { killed.

Ad Ruddick, chief of the Dairv | Division, Ottawa, makes a strong plea for better cheese boxes.

An inferior oual is ity of elm is used, and often the box cheese, 'the growth of mould ie start. od. Cheese should fit boxes: a box, which measures twelve when newly made, will shrink to clev ea and a half inches as it dries out. The same box. will expand acain to | nearly ite ariginhl depth after it has been: in a warehouse for 5 week or so, because it absorbs moisture from the cheese. . Tn fitting dry boxes to the | cheese it is necessary, thereiore, to have the cheese project at least one quarter of an inch above the edge of | the box. No box will stand the hand ling «that is mot supported by the cheese on the inside. i | ---- The Pig Pen. It is poor economy to compel the pigs to sleep on a bare floor, of in filth. as too many do Look out for 'wind holes under the floor. If the pens are old and open better bank them un the outside with straw. Pigs mast be made comfortable or they will be a biz Toss in keeping them. They should be allowed to ex ercise in the oven air during fine wea ther. It aids digestion and helps to. keep them vieorous. Do not feed frozen swill or anv half frozen articles. Tt will cause indiges tion and loss in condition hard to regain. Brood sows should have plenty of exercise to make them and their pro geny strong. Scatter some shelled corn and un ground oats on some clean feedine place so thinly that they must walk about and take wome time to eat. It pays to cook food for the hoos. Treatment For Smut In Oats. Many enquiries have been made by Ontario farmers regarding the treat ment of smut in oats. Experiments have been conducted at the college "in order to ascertain the most effectual remedies. vo varieties of oats were seleeted in the spring of 1902, and again in the spring of 1903, and the uniform . samples from each variety were submitted to special treatments with the object of killing the spores of smut' adhering to the grain. various treatments were Tas follows : (1). Immersion in Hot Water. "The grain was placed in a bag, which was then immersed in water at about 115 degrees F. Soon altérwards it was placed in water which was kept at a temperature between 130 degrees and 135 degrees F. The grain was occa sionally stirred and was allowed to remain in the water for a period of fiftcon minutes. It was then spread out on a clean, dry where it was stirred occasionally. (2) Immersion in Bluestone "Solution for Five Minutes.--A strong solution was made by dissolving one pound of copper sulphate (Bluestone) in one rallon of water, and then immersing the oats in the olution for a period of five minutes. (3) lmmersion in Bluestone Solu tion for Twelve Hours.--In this treat- ment, the bluestone solution was made by dissolving one pound of bluestone in twenty-five gallons of water, and the oats were immersed in this solu tion for twelve hours. (1) Sprinkling with Bluestone Solu tion.~ This solution was made by dis solving one pound of bluestone in ten gallons of water, which was used for sprinkling - over the oats wmtil thev were thoroughly moistened after being carefully stirred. (3) Immersion in Potassium hide ~ Solution.--This treatment con sisted in soaking the seed for two hours in a solution made by dissolves ing eight pounds of potassium sulph ide in fifty gallons of water, Sulp es are not half put together. The ve neer should never be cut less than full five to the inch.

A WISCONSIN WINTER. {Fishes And Birds Frozen To { Death, St. Paul Dispatch La. Crosse, Wis, Feb. 25.~Deputy | Game Warden George Kingsley is au- | thority for the statement that tens of | thousands of fish have been frozen in the ice of the different streams in this vicinity during the past winter, and it is supposed that the same statement holds true of other localities in the region hit by the cold weather of this winter. The ice is thicker than it has been for vears, and in many instances shallow streams have frozen solid to the bottom, leaving only a smail space for the water to go through. game fish, usuglly very able to take care of themselves, have suffered with the kinds not so smart. Even trout in the small country streams have been caught and frozen to death in the ice Fish that went up into the shallow water in early winter before the water went down have been in many cases imprisoned in land locked bodies of water, in which the water was frozen solid to the bottom. Nr, Kingsley foughly estimates that the fish frozen exceed in numbers the fish that would be caught by sportsnen in one or two vears at the very least, According to a tale. brought to this city. by Louis. Koch, of the town of Shelby, one of his neighbors Kiled eighteen wildeats in a very short time vesterday.
