During the last few months it has i :become harder and harder to secure farm mortgages upon which to loan 'money. The farming districts recently have been actually scoured for farm- »ers needing ready money. The situa- tion is such that, with plenty of mon. v .ey available to lend on farms and no . ‘ sheds, in which I put hay and blow l-farmers in need of that money, the lusual rate of 6 per cent is being pared :down to 5% and even as low as 5 per ‘ cent. This at least is the outline of exist- - ing conditions, particularly with ref- erence to Minnesota and the two Da- lkotas, given by Grant Van Sant, who thas been active' in securing mortgages Fin this connection for a farm loan con- icern. iavith himself, he is not asking for .money. He may not. be spending as, E-‘much at the general store; he may not . {be restocking his farm or replacing this machinery, but at any rate he 'scorns proffered loans, even at low rates. It is not thought, however, that is neglecting to improve his plant lor is foregoing the pleasure of elevat- ting his standard of living somewhat. lSuch abnegation would hardly be con- ,sistent in a person with a big balance in the bank and a check book in his ;pocket. The gradual development of this sit- ;uation has been coming on for some 'time. Two or three years ago farmers meeded money occasionally and glad]; ioffered mortgages. Gradually this di- lminished little by. little until now, ex- ‘rt-ept in the case of extraordinary cir- icnmstances, the worker of a farm not only is indififerent to investors, but is :seeking to do a little investing on his l‘own account. I Farm loan institutions, it is said. {first worked through Minnesota offer- ling money. Then came the two Da- g‘kotas. Now agents of these concerns are going through Montana in the un< lpleasant hope of finding some unfor- §tunate possibly who wants “to mort- ivgage the farm.” Their quest has not Ebeen particularly encouraging. As indicative of the paucity of avail- able mortgages a happening in a well L(known farm loan company may be cited. An eastern investor came in and called for $100,000 in farm loans, secured by mortgages, which must be 'delivered Within a year. Simultaneous- 'ly he wrote out a check for $15,000 and asked. for immediate investment. The company was able to place only $4,000 of it and now has gone to the lexpedient of advertising for mort- gages. . ...-. .. -. Cleaning in Well. Before going down into a well test the purity of the air by lowering a lighted candle or lantern. if the light 'lmrns dimly or goes out the poisonous carbonic acid gas “dumps” can be driven out by igniting a quantity of gjiurpentine and sawdust or kerosene tand rags in a kettle and lowering it to ville surface of the water, and then Hater pour several bucketfuls of water unto the well atom the top. Test again with the lantern and note the improve- ‘ment. We want our folks to be on the :safe side-Farm Journal. Rapid Hedge Trimmer. Among the numerous time and labor waving devices for gardeners’ use the {geared hedge trimmer, invented by a ‘iNew York man, is one of the most in- Iterestlng. With it a hedge that for- 'mcrly required five hours to trim can be clipped in one hour, or one man «too do the work of five. This appara- 1us consists of a long rod with a shoul- der piece at one end and a pair on shears at the other. Along this rod is in drive wheel connecting with a rotary minion, which operates the crank conâ€" trolling the shears. The device is held Don's WORK ov‘rxvn against the shoulder by means of a handle in the middle. Then the drive wheel Is turned. and by means of the multiple gearing it opens and closes the shears five times wi each revo- lution, thus making the apparatus a. saver of 80 per cent in either time or ' labor. All the operator has to do is to keep turning 'the wheel and moving the shears along the hedgerow where Itneeds clipping. . . .. ..y Whatever the farmer may be doing I l Quarteran and Feeding. The illustrations show a cattle barn and shed adjoining which 1 have used for five years with satisfactory results in raising and fattening young beef, 1 writes a breeder in the Breeder‘s Ga. zette, Chicago. The main barn is 60 by 56 feet and 22 feet to the eaves, which gives ample loft room over the the center mow full of straw. The box and~ milk cow stalls have the sunlight and are closed but few days in the year. I keep about twenty- five cows for the raising of my calves. DPIN SHED _PIJAN OF BARN AND SHED. D They have fife protection of the open shed, with mangers in which is fed roughage, usually corn fodder, while their calves get through a creep into the shed of the main barn, where they are fed clover hay, oats, bran. a little chopped corn and oilmeal, which they learn to eat long before they are weaned. . As I aim to market my cattle at about twenty months of age, I find early feeding, comfortable quarters and good breeding all in line to pro- duce prime beef at so early an age. The second summer and winter the calves are changed to the opposite shed of the barn, where they have protection from flies in summer and a good place to enjoy their clover hay or shredded corn fodder. Their grain is fed in troughs in an open yard. A large gate between box stall and shed admits of driving the entire length of the barn, which makes hauling out the manure a simple matter. I find the arrangement of the barn, both storage and feeding capacity, Very convenient. -~ .--.. '- CARE OF SHEEP... Some Points on Feeding and Keeping the.FIock Thrifty. Sheep must be fed with great regm ' larity. Slipshod methods are fatal to § succcss. Do not feed corn to the breeding ewes. it is too heating. Give two- thirds oats, one-third wheat bran, with a little oiimeal mixed in. The grain should be selected with care. Lambs should be taught to eat grain .by themselves as early as possible and should be eating well before weaning. On an average they should be fed ten weeks before weaning. If you can do no better by way of : making troughs for the sheep to eat i their grain out of, you can nail two boards together in the shape of a V, with a couple of short pieces across the ends to keep them right side up.‘ This will save much grain, and grain is money this year. Ensilage furnishes a good succulent food for sheep. In the absence of roots it is most valuable. Keep salt in the pens at all times. Night is the favorite time for dogs to make thei; raids, so make it a rule to have the sheep near the barn every night. Dogs are much less apt to trou~ ble them then. Dip the sheep immediately after shearing and again in about three Weeks to destroy eggs and all ticks that may hai’ve escaped at the first dipping. I The lambs should be dipped at the. same time, for when the ewes are shorn the ticks flock on to the lambs. Expert Milklng. A dairyman who generally did his own milking employed a boy. The milk shrank one-third in two weeks. The farmer resumed milking and in two Weeks got the same amount as before. Afterward he set the hired man to milking, and the milk shrank 10 per cent in two weeks and in two weeks more. the farmer milking again, was back at the standard. This man milks quietly and very clean. He closes the forefinger and thumb around the teat high up and makes a down- ward motion. tightening the grip and forcing out the milk. He then lets go his hold, keeping the finger and thumb in circle, carries up the hand and presses it smartly against the udder, closes and pulls down as before. The idea is to give as near as may be the same motion does knocking. ‘ ”‘ sAlsmoTouno BEEF? 596. TABLE LINEN selling at 48c. 456. TABLE LINEN selling at 38c. 351:.

(Correspondence of the Gazette.) The service in the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening was conduct- ed by the Rev. Mr. Lord, of Fenelon Falls, and the Rev. Dr. Burns of Toron- to, both whom are visiting in our burg. Dr. Burns gave a splendid sermon. The suggestions he made certainly were plain and simple and ought to be help- ful to all who heard him. Miss Keiiin of Toronto at the opening of the service rendered a beautiful solo, and Miss Delamcrc of Toronto sang at the closmg Both, these ladies are summering at Roscdalo, and we hope to be favored by having them sing at the church ser- vices again. We understand they are both to sing at the Presbyterian Church at Fenelon Falls Sunday Aug. 15th. Rev. Mr. Lord in closing congratulated the people on good attendance at church and thought it would only be a short time till they would need to enlarge their beautiful little church. He also made an appeal for an increased atten- dance at the Sabbath school, and'said an adult bible class would be organized next Sunday. This should be an oppor- tunity for parents to say “come” to their children, and not, as 1s usually done, say “ go to Sunday school.” Miss Madge Graham of Peterboro, who has been visiting for a few weeks with her friend Miss Jessie Spence, re- turned to her home on Monday. She was accompanied as far as the Falls by Miss Irene Minthorno and Miss Spence. The campers are still coming. Almost every available camping ground is occupied.
