Conserving Fertility of Soils. - The foundation: not. only but of dhe pation's welfare, hence it of agriculture, | is practically impossible to spend an excess and care on 1ts cultivation and | presegvation. Therefore any know ledge that results from experience .of the greatest value, A deal of formation acquired from such perience can be found in Bulletin No 27, 'entitled, ' nomic Maintainence Just iggued by the Depart Agriculture, of which Dr. Fr Shptt, the Domiilon chem adihor. v r. practical argues that we wasteful of in ex and ntensely when he terribly and Shutt sounds an note of warning have been plant food, that every effort should be made to maintain and in- crease the fertility of our soils, and, by more rational methods, endeavor to put a stop to that waste While the warning is direcied to the north west, "where farming has been liken ed to mining," Ontario and Eastern Canada* generally are summoned to account, In brief, a change is called for from extensive to intensive farm- sing, the lesson that it is sought to convey being that there is more pro- fit in high 'tillage and conservation 4 The Potato Crop. ' Se The potato crop in parts of Ontario is reported a failure The crop in the Edmonton district is immense soil is the one great factoral || "land seaweed as potassic fertilizer.

Régarding manure, two important facts to be remember- ed are that where it is not at once utilized by being put into the soil, or on to the soil} one-third of its in- ftial value is lost, and that the loss least where the manure is kept compact and protected from rain. Destructive Breeding. There are two distinctive kinds af breeders--constructive and destruc tive, remarks John Hays, of Wyom- ing, in Prairie Farm and Home, The constructive breeder is gradually im proving his stock, while the destruc- tive breeder is rapidly tearing down by crossing breeds which have taken the constructive breeder generations to build. ' : There is nothing so destructive and serious in the live stock industry as cross breeding. Where do gur mong rels come from? By crossing one distinct breed with another. The first cros® between two purebred parents is oftimes an improvement, but fol- lowitig this up with the half-breeds is where we get our scrubs, and nondescripts., I well remember a few years back when the blue-roang a product of crossing the roan Shorthorn and the Galloway or Angus, produced an ani- mal of the beef type that was hard to beat with any purebred steer. This cross when mated only led to. dis- appointments. Why tear down what it has taken centuries to build up- When breed- ers of livestock quit this everlasting trossing of breeds, then and not nd til then will we eliminate the scrub.

Good roads, ss an essential to the further deviippment of the provineg, seem to occupy a position of al™east parallel importance to the extension of Hydro Radials and steam railways. ~In both New and Old Ontgrio the subject of good roads represents an'ever-growing theme of popular discussion. Rural communities in the older portions of the province are agitating for better roads, not only for the main highways, but for the concession roads and. side lines, which give the farmer acdtss to the highways. 101 In New Optario more reads and still more roads is the ery, and moned will have to. be provided for this pur- pose; but the urgent need in older Ontario is the improve- ment of existing roads. » The old complaint that roads are keptin repair, or provided, as the case may be, merely to suit the edprices of motor fiends is losing weight, because the farmer has gradually, come to consider an automobile part of his farm equipment, and now ldoks upon the roads question in a new light. ' : Macadam roads are said to be unsuitable to the new conditions of motor transportation on the main highway. IT this be the case it is a matter for the Provineial Gov- ernment to take in hand at once, with a view to finding a solution ol this difficulty. Concrete roads are favored by many experts. They are more expensive than macadam, but it is believed the initial expense more than adjusts itself*in the langer_ period of wear. In connection with the improvement of byways, the policy of the Liberal representives in the Ontario Legis- lature has been drafted to meet the demands of the farm- er; and radical measures to ameliorate conditions may be expected when the Conservative "sleepers" are re- moved from office, which is practically certain al the neat general election. The Liberal policy is "to secure the building up of a good roads system throughout the prov- ince chen --thereby facilitating traffic and ensur- ing quick -lelivery of farm and garden produce." The Ontario Liberal party to-day is seriously studying all cuesiions relating to the agricultural welfare of the province, in the confident expectation of an early relurn lo power. Since 1911 its representatives in the Vouse have urged and pleaded the cause of the farmer: and their success in alleviating offensive conditions. lthoush ji opposition, and the soundness of their public propos#ls for the advancemenl of agriculture are fast finding recognition among the farming community. It was a Liberal government which in 1896 initiated the Good Roads Movement, realizing the importance of country roads as a factor in transportation and recogniz- ing their value to the farmer in making agriculture more profitable, farm life more agreeable. and in increasing the value of farm property. With this in view. the Gov. ernment appointed a" Highways Commissioner to direct the expenditure on the construction and maintenance of roads, and passed legislation under which approprialions might be made in connection with the development of the Good Roads system. .

Profit-Sharing Kept Boy On Farm Many men have, had difficulty in keeping help on the farm, even after they have gone to the trouble of rais- ing it. Home-grown labor is general- ly the best, if it is given the right encouragement, On Missouri farmer, who is RE erating with the agricultural college in keeping farm records, has decided that he can afford to pay his son 25 per cent. of the net profits from the farm for his work. The young man has worked under this plan for about four years and has never failed to clear as much, or more, than hired hands' wages, besides getting his liv- ing, the use of a team and buggy, and having the privilege o: profitable em- ployment near home. It takes a profitable business to make such & plan attractive to either proprietor or laborer, but it stimu- lates good management on the part of both; Hot only is this year's hay erop in Ontarié- a. phenomenal one in point of yield, but it has been saved with the minimum of labor.
