That ia what is meant | by propagated blasting. It is a met-| hod that can be employed only when | at least part of the charge in each | hole is off "straight" dynamite, and | only when the soll is dense and sat-| urated. Under any other conditions diteh blasting requires an electric blasiing cap in every hole with the dynamite, and the charges must be fired with oa blasting machine, However, when the blasting is done in this way, a " cheaper grade of dynamite can ba used and the bore holes can be spaced further apart, so that the increased cost of detonators is counterbalanced by decreased cost of dynamite, This ditch was about twelve feet wide at the top and from five to seven feet deep when it was blasted out. It cost approximately tweaty dix cents per running yard. It was esti- mated that to dig a similar ditch by any other method would have cost r the trees under the different systems of cover crops and dates of plowing, but there must be more danger of damage to roots where the frost pene- trates twelve inches in the ground than where it goes only from a little over a third to two-thirds that depth. On the land on which a buckwheat cover crop was left all winter, the frost penetrated to a depth of only 3.9 inches, on oat and clover ground to a depth of 4.6, and on where a rye-vetch cover crop was left all winter to a depth of 9% inches. The reason for this will be found to be due mostly to the amount of snow which the different cover crops is capable of holding. Thus in the re- cords kept for the winter of 1915-16, the average amount of snow held by the buckwheat was 7 inches, by the oats and clover § inches, and by the rye and vetch 2.2 inches. The amount of snow held will vary in direct pro- portion to the stand of cover crop. If the vetches and rye had been a; better catch, more snow would have been held and the freezing depth would have -been shallower. Use Tested Varieties. In Peterboro County 40 farmers, were visited by a representative of the Conservation Commission, and among ground i the 40 farmers visited there were 17 (different = varieties of grown. It is quite evident that there are not 17 best varieties, and it would seem that an effort and some study should be made to have a greater uni- formity along this line, Too many farmers hear of some new variety, land without knowing anything about the suitability of it to their district, about fifty cents per yard. The battle is only halt tought wien the onions are grown, Properly bar- vesting the onion i¢ just as import- ant and requires just as much skill as the growing, says a contributor to the Farm P 5 We have raised several kinds of onions, including seme raised from the seed, the potato or multiplier on- fon and the' onions grown from cloves, We find that they all requize about the same care in harvesting. We used to make the mistake of topping our onions when the top was green, and consequently a large por- tion of them rotted.

The demand is unpre- cedented, This is {rue whether for export or for home - consump'ion. Consfimers generally, and eveu pro- ducers themselves, are eating more and more eggs. ita consumption of eggs in Canada this year will be greater than ever before, * Even at present prices trade is in- creasingly active all over the country, and the prospects for a continued de- mand ate very bright. The country is facing a shortage, not only of cur rent receipts, but of Canadian sior- age stocks as well. So great has been the export demand that we shall be obliged to import to meet our own requirements, Inecreasad .. pro- duction has never rested upon a more secure foundation. Some object to the present price of teed, but when it is' considered that the selling price of the product is from forty to sixty per cent higher than it was two years ago, the margin of profit is such as will compare fav- orably with that obtainable elsewhere on the farm, Canada has all the requisites for the production of a quantity far in excess of her own requirements, and with her favorable elimatic conditions can, with proper care and attention, produce quality equal to the best in the world, Only the fringe of pro- duction possibilities has been touched up to the present. Snakes, The Farmer's Friends. Among the best, although least- appreciated friends of the farmer, are the harmless snakes, such as the milk-snake, garter-snake, the - bull-snake, blotched king-snake, the blue-snake, the black-snake, and some others, All of them are the natural enemies of rats, mice, 'weasels and similiar animals that infest farms and village homes, especially where there is poultry or other small live stock. In an article in the Scientific Am- erican, Dr, Robert W. Shufedit of Washington says that it would well repay every farmer in the country to keep half a dozen harmless, ver- min-destroying snakes on every acre of his place. Thousands of harmless snakes are killed every year by boys | ignorant farm-hands and misinform- ed women, although it has been proved that rats, mice and other ro- dents cause enormous losses to cer- eal erops. Although most farmers believe | that the ' common chicken-snake { haunts their outbuildings in order to | feed on their young ducks and chick- jens, the snake does nothing of the | kind; but it does destroy great | pumbers of ybung mice and other | Pests.

One stone was about six [eet square and three feet thick. It was imbeddad in the ground so that only a few in- ches of the top showed above ahe surface. I first dug a trench all around it. No dirt touched it except thai under neath it on which it rested, Two sticks (a pound) of 40 per eent dy- namite were laid on top of the boul- The | have used it on their cattle With simi-| jor and covered with aboit 3 bus- hel of mud which was patted down solidly with my hands. A cap and fuse had been attached to ome of the cartridges. The blast completely shattered the rock so that all the pieces were éasily handled by one man, If I had not removed (he earth from around the sides of the stone before the blast, it would --almost surely have failed to break. 1 blasted another boulder 8 by 23% by 5 feet, and it was imbedded in the ground to a depth of five feet. This work was done in the same way de- scribed above, using tlie same charge, except that I removed the wrappers from the dynamite and patted it down on top of the stone in a com- pact mass before applying (ho mud- cap. This is general considered the better practice. This rock was also well broken up. Special Prize for Bacon Hogs. _ The Wm.
