Mr. and Mrs. Beck have taken between them more prizes for horses and any one else in not only because of the good sum of money recelved for the potatoes, but ' also because of the good the crop does the land. The farmers of the Leth- bridge district supply the local demand, at least, and prevent the necessity of bringing potatoes from Prince Edward Island to the valleys of Washington State, and practically all intermediate localities as Is the case at present. Not only that, but they should aim to supply the enormous demand in the mining and lumbering districts of British Columbia. The market 1s right to hand and a splendid return awaits the man who will undertake to supply It POINTS IN BARN BOOKKEEPING There are still comparatively few farmers who keep all registered =< with definite names e and to these the problem nt keeping track of the nameless cows of a large herd is often no great source of vexation. Recently a dalryman told me his plan, which seems very simple and which he assures me he has used successfully for several years. Each stall in the barn Is given a number and the cow occupying that stall is given the same number. Ag every cow Invartably Is forced 'o oc- cupy the same stall day after day, records of the milk welghts and testa of the Individuals are very easy to keep. And whenever a cow 's rold, {ts stall remains vacant unt!l a new cow has been procured, when that cow is given the number of the stall Another difficulty that comes up - keeping milk records is that the eets, to record the number of wounds of milk each cow gives, be come quite solled under the average barn conditions. To have their per- manent records clean and neat in ap- pearance, many dalrymen make the barn record for each week on rough sheets of paper and take the pains to copy into a book specially prepared for the purpose, the record for eaeh cow month by month.

THE MINSTREL BOY DIES AT A GREEN OLD AGE An aged wandering singer, oe ter and story teller, who was sald to be a descendant of one famed in the days of minstrelsy, died recently in ce hospital in County Meath, Ire- d. He was the last of tho old menoo 1 of su-called poets who 'jved by story telling and verse making at farmhouse firesides. His name Was Thomas Smith, and, according to re- port, one of his ancestors wore cap and bells and served as a jester to a prince. In his boyhood Smith, tt is sald, wore a faded doublet of alter- nating stripes of yellow and flue, which had been handed down to him as a relic of his great-grandfather'a fame as 4 countryside funmaker. His stories for the most part had to do with th presen. the of straightening tangles and cas! the path to happy marriage.
