PEA 3 "ON THE FARM | Written for The Toronto Weekly Sun. é When I was young I used to hearthan most of us do for fhe happiness a great deal about places that were much finer than an Ontario farm; places where more money could be | made, and where life was altogether livelier and more desirable. I was wild to leave the farm then, but fate Jntervened. I stayed at home. I forgave fate many years ago. Now I thank her. The farm and Ontario are good en- ough for me, At my present mature age, I can imagine nothing better for a man to look at as he grows old than the' fields, the hedgerows and the home where he laughed and play- ed when he was young. Gradually our joys and our sorrows and our bereavements have consecrated them. Many of my compeers in age had the same wanderlust, and went eith- er to the West or_to one of the big cities. Some of them made their pile--others we never heard of any ™ more. One of the most successful of them all visited here last spring for his health, He is younger than I am but looks ten years older, and is a martyr to dyspepsia and nerves We stood talking over the orchard gate together. It was in the time when apple trees were in bloom and the peach and cherry and pear blos- soms made a glory in the land. "Well," he said, "I guess a man can't have it both ways. I have succeeded, but you have lived." It seems to me that it is much bet- ter to "live" than to "succeed." For succeeding generally seems to mean the making of more money than a man has any use for. (However, the danger of that isn't worth méntion- ing on the farm.) My successful friend was right. I am enjoying my life. I am a happy 'man. . Life on the farm is good to me. and my digestion and my nerves are perfect--I1 don't know what worry means. An easy competence is all that I want, and that I am making. He is a poor man indeed who cannot ge: that off a farm that he owns. of course I work hard--much harder than I want to sometimes--but at any rate it Is good, wholesome out- of-doors work, and nature makes a splendid partner. I am not ohe of your hustlers. 1 take a day off whenever I decently cgn, and always make it a rule to taku a holiday on a holiday. And thén, just think of the seasons of lei- sure to often one of our neighbor's girls comes the bitter cold days, the long winter evenings. 'What other business gives a man the like? You can praise up - work all you want, to, and not say a bit too much in its favor, either, but I believe in leisure. Fof my part, I work as much for leisure as for dollars. It sounds paradoxical, I know, but when you come to think of it, a man's best work is done in his leisure. If you work a man too hard at getting a liv- ing, you get too much out of him. He becomes a beast of burden instead of a human being. A Dull Man, Some people think that life on a farm is a dreadfully dull affair. A dull man is dull anywhere. It is generally the personality and not the place that supplies the dullness. But I daresay its pleasures are of the quiet kind; the kind that a man get as he walks behind the p'ow with the wide sky above him, the infinite etretches. around, and the ozone of the fields in his nostrils. . There is joy to be found in seeing things that one has planted grow and mature beneath his eyes, in watch- ing the trees, léaf, bloom and fruit, and in loving, guarding and under- slanding God's gentle creatures which share the land with him. He dwell: near the earth, as Adam dwell and it seems to me he comes nearer Frontenac VERONA.

Life |on the farm is anything but dull to me. 1 have eyes that can see the sunsets, ears than can hear the mu- sic of the wind in the trees and the wash of the waves on the shores. 1 love to work wifhitools and plan out this and that, and" though my in- ventions never come ta anything more than little conveniences on the farm, it gives me no end of pleasure to contrive them. In the long win- ter evenings I read all sorts of books. I can get company out of them all, My wife is a very important person; she is a great hand with the pla- no. It gives me the greatest plea- sure to hear her play. The music that she plays seems to tell great things to the inner self of me. Some- times I try to tell them again to a friend, but I never can. The Social Life, I don't think that my busy friend would have time in his busy life for such things as these. But, tnen, he has of course a great deal of money, and is a very important person in- deed, whereas I often want for a ten- dollar bill, and am of no importanee at all. And then I think that we country folks live in an altogether more in- timate manner with our neighbors than our city cousins ever do. I know everybody around, and there isn't a man, woman or child among them tht I can't enjoy a chat with, We know one another as members of a | great family might. We fall out and make up, we praise and blame and gossip, and lend and borrow and In sickness and sorrow we We are neces- sary to one another; we are of real importance to one another. And "when death comes and take this one or that' one, the rest "go softly" and and speak gently of the departed. Only yesterday, as I was driving home from our little village, it came over me anew how good life in the country is. It was a lovely late September day, and I came Jogging along on the edge of the evening. The road runs up a long, easy hill, wide and zig-zag. On each side stand sodemn rows of populars. On one side behind the poplars, the road falls into a valley, the "valley flats," as we call them, and in and out amongsf the greenest green, and a bit of a stream twists and turns, J4 1s not much more than a puddle perhaps, and quite ordinary no doubt, but very beautiful for all that--and es- pecially then, as the glow of the sun- sel caught it and changed its placid waters to a low spread of flame. The same glow touched the tops of the poplars, and they glowed and shone with opal fires, Birds chittered hap- pily and sleepily in their nests, cat- tle lowed from a distant field, and I heard the voice of a young man sing- ing a love song as he led his horse home to its stable. : The whole scene was one of a won- derful indescribable peace--peace all the sweeter and dearer because it was 80 homely and so familiar. It was like the very soul of home. The Peace Of Old Age. As 1 jogged along I passed a lit- tle old house at the end of the flats, Many were the games I had played there as a child and a boy. An old, old man was sitting just outside the doorway in an armchair, leaning for- ward on a stick and gazing into the sunset with the reminiscent inward gaze of extreme old age. I had known him all my life. He was an old man almost when 1 was a boy. His sons had been my best friends. He hgd lived his four score years and more in that little old house, and, after all, what a little span it is set in between two eternities, nearing completion, .. cand. rley Clark are at Archibald gn. n's.

And presently it become net and sane again. Soon the road took another turn. I drove more quickly now, for lI could see home at the end of the road--a big low house with farm buildings nestling about it. The or- chard that my father had planted held it all in a sheltering embrace. Now and again, as I came nearer, I could hear an apple fall ,to the ground. A light was in the window and the kitchen door stood open. When I went in, the savory smell of a chicken cooking in the oven greet- ed me, and the music of the kettle singing on the stove. A brown-eyed woman was turning a pan. of bis cuits in the oven, and a Stubby boy morréw's lessons. The brown-eyed woman looked up and smiled, the boy got up and hollered, and the bit of a girl, hollering-too, came and pulled at my coat sleeves. I knew what this meant, and did it. And all this stood for welcome and love and homé and comfort. And what more need any man ask of the Beneficent Father? . A' Cheap Household Cement.

As a general thing a cow is considered an old cow when she has reached nine or tem years, but at this age some cows have been known to just begin 'their heaviest production. Last' week we cited a case of a cow which has averaged, during the past eight years, 10,001 Ibs. of milk per year, and which in her ten-year-old form gave 13,000 Ibs. of milk, the largest amount dur- ing any one year of her life. She is now eleven years old, and is likely to beat her last year's. record. An- other cow gave an average of over 10,000 Ibs. during the past six years, and this year in five and a half months has given over 10,000 Ibs. and is still giving 50 lbs per day. This is just another ¢hdication that the only way to correctly size up a dairy cow is by using the scales and the test. The owner cannot go by feed fed, or by the age of the anim- al. The cow may be old, but if she is still capable of producing 10,000 or 13,000 1bs. of milk or more than she has ever produced in the past it would not be in the best interests of the herd to turn her away to the butcher and attempt to fill her place with a young, untried animal which may never reach as high a produe- tion as the old cow has done. Besides the actual production of milk, an old cow is often a much better breeder than is a heifer or younger cow. Some of the best calves ever produced have been from cows of mature years, in fact get- ting old. As long as there is pro- fitable production at the pail or through young stock in the old cow she should not be turned away from the herd. The two cows mentioned are old in years, but just coming to their prime as producers. Just now, when there is 80 much agitation over increased production and the shortage of nearly all classes of live stock, would be a good time to look into the matter and see just where the old cow stands as compared with the younger cows in the.real test of 'milk production and value of breed- Ing stock produced. Know the old be as cow before turning her away to the butcher. Give her what her perform- ance indicates she deserves.--From the Farmer's Advocate. ------ Mismanagement of the Stallion. One of the chief mistakes in hand- ling stallions, during the breeding season is the habit some men have of overworking them. Some owners of mares insist on a second service within an hour or so. This practice should be discouraged, as if the first service is normal the second one only wears out the horse and annoys the mare. Another common mistake is the practice of breeding too great a number of mares in one season. of a good horse is sometimes tempt- ed to use the animal too much, but our best breeders say about six to seventy mares in a season are all that an average horse will stand. When that number of animals are bred nearly all of them will be got in foal but when a larger number are bred not only in the percentage of foals greatly reduced but also the vitality of the stallion. Keep your stallion in condition, not too fat nor too thin. A little work will not hurt him, but careful judgment must be used in this matter. If the horse has a good 'appetite, a smooth coat and high spirits he is in a good condi- tion to get foals. Drugs which make the stallion more keen for sefvice do not have any influence on foal-getting and the practice of using such should be con- demned. Farmers Great Autoists, It is estimated that nearly 50 per cent. of the 1,750,000 automobiles in use in the united States to-day are owned by farmers--and the percent- age is increasing each year. Authori- ties are agreed that 60 per cent. of the 1915 output of American factor- ies will go to the farms or farming communities. When it is realized that, according to the census of 1910, there were 6,361,602 farms in the United States, the possibilities for future sales are almost limitless. Care of the Oalf.

But when .we consider that | the dairy farm depends upon this particular operation perhaps more than upon any other we are more apt to look at it in the light that its | importancce calls for. Careless | milkers never produce record-break- | log cows. It is impossible that they | could do so. The cows under their | care will be more likely to degener- ate in producing capacity. If we look | at it in this way we will know why | beginners, rough, careless and ir- | regular milkers are always a detri- | ment to the development of a heavy | producing herd. i The udder of the cow should be! considered as a delicate piece of ma- | chinery, and should be handled ac- | cordingly. No roughness and no | half-operations are allowable. There | is only one way to succeed in milk- ing in so far as the operation of milking is concerned---only one nats | ural way to set the full yield of milk in the shortest possible time, with ease and without tending to dam- age the future usefulness of the cow.

Canadian wheat occupies this year a total area of 12,896,000 acres, which is more by 1,662,500 acres, or 14.8 per cent. than the area sown res, or 25 per cent. than the area harvested in 1914, the area Sown for last year having been reduced by 939,600 acres, the estimated aggre- gate of total failures through the winter-killing of fall wheat (211,- 500 acres) and through drought af- fecting spring wheat (728,100 acres) says a Dominion Government report. Not only is the wheat area this year, under the double stimulus of -patrio- tic impulse and high prices, 25 per cent., in excess of last year's harvest- ed area; but it is also the largest area ever sown to wheat in Canada. As previously reported the area to be harvested of fall-sown wheat is 1,208,700 acres, the balance of 11,- 687,300 acres having been sown this spring. Whilst every Province shows an increase in the Wheat area it is the three Northwest Provinces which preponderate in the nations ef- fort to produce more wheat, The total area sown .to wheat in these Provinces is 11,659,700 acres, an in- crease over last year's harvested ar- ea of 2,324,300 acres; or 25 per cent. In Manitoba the area is 3,166,900 acres, an increase of 21 per cent.; in Saskatchewan it is 6,642,100 acres, an increase of 24 'per cent., and in Alberta it is 1,850,700 acres, an in- crease of 35 per cent. Rather more than half of the total wheat area of Canada Is in the single Province of Saskatchewan. With the Chickens. It is well to know that young chicks do not need solid food for from 48 to 60 hours after hatching, as their stomachs contain sufficient food to supply their needs for that time, Simply because the little chicks peck around does not signify that they are in need of something to eat. They should, however, be supplied with plenty of fresh water. Keep the water supply pure by cleaning out the pans or other containers ey- ery day. Grit in the form of sand, or, better still, sharp granite grit and fine oyster shell should be kept be- ore them. The oyster shell sup- ies bone-making material, and the grit aids the digestion. - One of the best feeds for little Weighill has returned home to Ro. chester, N.Y., after spending a month with her sister, Mrs. Simpkins.

In this way the milk dyet is better manipulated than if the fing- ers encircled the whole of the teat. The whole operation of milking should be carried out by the wrist downwards, by the action of the fingers and hand; the arm is never brought into play by good milkers. Some milkers in an endeavor to make milking easier--to make up for the lack of the right use of their fingers--practice 'wet milking." In this operation the fingers are usually dipped in milk and the teats kept continually wet. Such a filthy habit as this cannot be too strongly con- demned. - It is~ only a habit and al- though it usually does make milk- ing easier, dairy farms that lay claim to clean stables, milkers and cows, never admit this method of milking in their herds. Dry milking should always be insisted upon. Tough milking cows can usually be improv: ed by good milkers, while heifers and young cows can be spoiled for future milking by continually prac- ticing wet milking. There are many other phases of the milking opera- tion which might be dealt with but the principles are the same in each case and apply equally in the small and large herd.--J. B. Henderson, in Farm, Stock and Home.- chicks is dry bread or eracker crumbs moistened with water or sour milk. Rolled oats are also good, but their continued use is not advis- ed. Brooder chicks have to be taught some things that those reared in the from their mo thers. Eating is one of these. The first food given them should be light in color so as to be easily seen. Hard-boiled eggs mixed with crack- er or bread crumbs are valuable first feeds. Raise turkeys. They are easy to raise if the proper precautions are taken when they are small. Tur- keys should be had on every farm for their nscctidestroying qualities, while their flesh never goes begging in the fall. Coarse, sharp gravel supples the hens with "teeth." In the absence of gravel coarsely-ground oyster shells will answer the same purpose. See that your chicks have plenty of sunlight and fresh air. Often muslin can be substituted for glass in part of the windows. Do not sell eggs from stolen nests. Use them at home. More Live Stock Needed. Unless American farmers grow more live] stock in the future, the fertility of the soil will be wanted at such a rate that farming will prove generally unprofitable. Such is the conclusion which has been reached by students of the problem as well as practical farmers, in every com- munity of the United States. ' The farm animal is absolutely nec- eS8ary. There are mény reasons for this. Live stock enables much of the waste about the farm to be converted into meat, milk and work. Much of the crops on the farm can be marketed in smaller packages, when converted into butter, milk and meat, The boys and girls on the farm are far more liable to become interested in farming if an interest in live stock can be awakened. To Keep Mice From Gnawing Paste. Scrapbook and wallpaper are fre- quently cut to pieces by mice trying to eat the paste, or as is often the case, apparently for no reason than the pleasure of gnawing. A little cayenne pepper put in the paste as soon as it is made will prove effec- tive in keeping the mice and cock- roaches from it when applied to the papers DATES OF FALL FAIRS, 1915 Issued by the Agricultural Societ- ies Branch of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture, Toronto, J.
