The nature of the climite and the inequalities o: the rainfall make irrigation neces- sary. Much of the work is under the direct control of the government and vast sums of money are required in keeping the reservoirs and canals in best condition. The storage of water in tanks for irrigation purpOses is very common in southern India, while canal irrigation, in which the water is drawn directly from the river, has been practised on a larger scale and most successfully in the northwest provinces, the Punjab, etc. In Madras presidency alone there are 60,000 storage tanks, varying from the small works formed by earthen em- bankmenta, to costly reservoirs con- structed by government and havrng a surface area of 6,000 to 8,000 acres. Canal irrigation takes water from rivers arising in lofty mountains which can be depended upon for unâ€" failing supplies. In tank irrigation, on the other hand, the supply of water is more or less dependent on local rainfall, either directly or through the medium of the smaller rivers which dry up in hot seasons. In addition to these two systems there remains the method of irri :ition more extensively used in India t an any other, VIZ, that by wells, and these do not come directâ€" ly within the scope of the operations of the public works department. A recent official report shows a total of 41,000 miles of main canals and distr'ibutaries. The crops to which irrigation is most extensively applied are wheat and rice. In a recent year 800,000 acres of rice crops were savod from entire destruction in Bengal by them canals, and the absolute neces- sity of irrigation is not less prominent in other parts of India. A I .M COST OF PRODUCTION. In a well-regulated shop or factory the exact cost of each article produced is known, and the ruling prices at which such products are sold, are also known; consequently the profit or loss on each article is computed and the manufacture of different articles is captinued acoordinly, says a writer. How many farmers know the exact amount each pound of pork, beef or mutton costs when ready for market? {a a herd of ndozen cows, who knows how many, if any are kept a_t a profit? Nearly every farmer raises more or less poultry, yet how few have any exact knowledge of the costs or re- ceipts from this branch of their busi- ness. ' It is not extravagant to say that no other business in the whole range of human occupation is conducted with such utter disregard of true business methods as farming. Therefore, 1 com. tend ih rt a thorough business education is one of the indispensable requisites for the successful farmer. \Vhile it is of the utmost importance that a farmer should have a thorough all round education, that he should be an intelligent man of affairs, and that 11.- should be a thorough business man, applying to his occupation all the ac- curacy and good judgment required in any other calling. yet the third phase of his education which l may call pro- fessiontl or technical training, is not 1933 important. FRENCH AND ENGLISH DRESSED DO U LT RY . Some English dressed poultry, lur- key. ducks, etc., at the cattle club show, Sniithfield, ling., is well brought out in the illustration. This with our frontisplece affords a contrast in man- i 9d hydrogen, PH3_ Al- l glass tube containing boiling water is nor of preparation and staging. though the English birds were a fine display, many of the English poulterâ€" era are willing to admit that they have something to learn from their French r'ivals as to style and quality of dressed product, The lii'iti<ll suiner, however, sticks loyally to his dwirnd for homo grown poultry, and the result is that thousands of French, Italian, t‘anidian and Ami-ricau fouls arc. regularly pultned off as best ling~ lish. A story is related of a man u ho went to a prominent English market to buy :1 Norfolk turkey, and he was offered an Italian bird, one of a con- signment, which. in the course of his official duties, pissed under his notice many hours before when judging lllt‘ exhibits at a poultry show. ‘ The chief peculiarities of the ling- linh methods are: Killing by wringâ€" int.r 1h) neck, not by chopping or stick ink: feathers are lcfr on the neck for a few inch-as from the head, also a few feathers on tail anl tips of wings: lltc breastbonc is wruii-tiirres bulk.“ down by pressing it to one side wirh the thumbs, and the wings aize twisted to the bile of the bird. 'l'hesi points should be observed in preparing pnul- try for export. Cl'IIl‘IVA'l‘ION FQ‘t PEAR ORi'Ii .\RD 7»; The system cumin-nly practiced some years ago was that which was applied to the apple, but on account of the deâ€" struciion Clum'd by the “my might. and owing to lbs fat: that the pear bligh: flourished most in varieties ‘which mailed \igorous rank growth and produced a large quantity of (3011' ' i not well suited. Pears with a fll‘t'.‘ .ieter'minate growth are less affected .hin those of luxuriant growth. A study of these facts has brought about a revolution in methods of cultivation. “he most successful and profitabl: gear orchards in Ontario at the preâ€" ..:~ni time are those which are cultrvat~ ed by sowing clover under the trees. The. clover [snot removed from the ground at any time of the year. It is :ut and allowed to lie and decay upon be ground, and in this way to act as r. fertilizer. \Vhen an orchard is be- ng cultivated the practice is to sow .he cover; in July. By early autumn it has grown 10 or 12 inches, and af- Iords a covering for the ground dur- ing the winter. It is cut at blossom- ‘ng time the following year. It re- .urns to the soil a sufficient amount of nitrogen, which is so material to be healthy growth of the tree. Potash must also be applied in Some form of :ommerctal fertilizer, or in wood ash- es. The orchard is kept in a clover sod so long as the trees are growing satisfactorily. A SAFE ESTIMATE. A year has 365 days, and a hen or laying pullet utilizes 100 days in moulting, ctc., leaving 265 days. Some breeds also hitch and raise chicks. Like famous cows with Iii-lb butter reâ€" cords, ihzre are some very prolific pul- lets, but they are exceptions as lndl\‘l- duals, and do not comprise the breed. One would be fortuntte if 100 hens laid 103 eggs per hen during a year, as everything depends on management. There will be sick hens, overâ€"fat hens and very inferior hens. It is a good hen that will lay 4 leggs a week for 2265 days, about 38 weeks, or 152 eggs, and where one hen may do this many oth- ers will not. An average of 120 eggs 2). year for a large flock is a good one. RICE GROWING IN RUSSIA. Under a steady increase in the pro- duction in recent years there are now five rice cleaning steam factories in operation in Russia with an annual production of 48,000 tons. An ad- ditional factory is now in the course of construction, which will be supplied with the most improved machinery. The Russians commenced cultivating rice in the early '80s; it was almost unknown in the interior up to ’86, the supply being imported from India and subjected to a high duty which confin- ed its use to the wealthy classes. PROTEIN FEEDS FOR HOGS. In some German tests with pigs to determine the advisability of feeding large quantities of nitrogenous mater~ ial, a ration of peas, beans, barley, wheat bran, lupines, peanuts, with~a little milk and buttermilk, produced gain at a cost of 9 1-20 per lb. These results abundantly demonstrate that: Ifeeding hogs almost exclusively on ~niirogenous foods is unprofitable. SLOP FOR GROIVING PIGS. To a quart of shorts and a spoonful of oil meal scolded with a gallon of boiling water and stirred until thor- oughly cooked, add milk. This makes a fine slop for growing pigs.
