Mil- HOW TO PREVENT. WASTE OF | ler. 4 SILAGE CATTLE Unless one commences to feed the cut corn within a few days from the time it is put into the silo. there is sure to be more or less Waste ontop gaused by fermentation and decay through it being exposed to the at- mosphere. Often there will be a loss of from 18 inghes or two feet or more by the time the ensilage is wanted in late fall or early winter. The loss depends largely pn the size into which the corn has been cut and up- ou the oare.in the 'way of tramping. watering and so forth. that the top ef the silo has 'been given. There are many means used by dif- ferent ones for preserving the silage at the top of (the silo. We have used several including covering the sur- face with bar paper and a layer of chaff and moistening the whole. sow- ing grain on top of 'tha corn. also on tov of the cover of chaff. We have alsa left ithe top of the silo absolutely exposed just as it was after' the silo fillers had left it. This latter we shall mever practise again since there was an undue loss from the spoiled ailage. The best method that we have ever tried has been to moisten the top layer of the silage with @barrel of water in which has' been dissolved a good big bop full of land salt. The brine should be made as strong with salt as the water can carry in golu- tion. After giving the surface of the eut corn this treatment. it might be well to place on a few inches of chaff pf some kind and then moisten and seed it with some grain. THROW IT AWAY Stand up Jittle kid, with your cig- arette burned alean up to your pro- fane lips. Do you know that the poison you are so eager to infuse into every inch of your youthful hide may. before a hundred weeks have rolled over 'your head. make you not omly color blind, but blind as a bat as well. "Naw." you didn't. Well that is the mext affliction we are threatened with, The Scientific Am- etican says #o, and we have grown in the habit of relying on that staunch sheet. In London, tobacco blindness has grown quite prevalent and in- stances are cropping out on our own side of the pond, too. Throw away your cigar and wait until you have at least one and eighty pounds of sound avoirdupois to carry round be-, gin to stuff your skin with nicotine poison. 'Then maybe it will take you the rest of your matural lifetime to get enough of the weed to put out your eyes nnd plant a malignant can- eet on the root of your saucy tongue. "Your grandfather smoked till he was eighty and chewed. too." Yes. and that is the reason you should let it alone, at least until you are twen- ty-five. You were born with enough 'poison in your blood without begin- ning to stuff more down your throat before you 'are out of the nursery.

All previous records in attendance} were smashed to atoms 'being $41) gate was $562 while the membership stands at about 430. The horse show was the biggest and finest ever held here. The cattle show was also larger! than that of former years. Sheep and. swine were well represented, The) poultry exhibit wwas very large but a; good deal of dissatisfaction was ex-| pressed with the judgment. The exhibition of roots was exceed- ingly fine while dairy products were much in evidence. The fruit display. however, was mot up to that of for- men years which may be due to the fact that four fairs were held on the game day. \ The Milverton band discoursed sweetly Wuring .the afternoon 1n front of the grandstand, A feature worthy of special mention was the Highland dancing of the McLennan children who created such an attrac- tian that it was with great difficulty that the 'police kept the crowds from ednigregating on the track in their effort to see them. The speeding events were keenly ecmtested and afforded intense satis- faction to the spectators. Mr. Ew; Davey acted as starter. The results were as follows; 2.21 Pace or Trot.-- 1. Chas. Bailey. 2.

Nation or Empire.". The second of Dr. Leacock"s is entitled "Men who Have Shaved Me." . Through such journals as Toronto Saturday Night Canadian writers on Canadian subjects are finding a home market for their work, and are no longer obliged from necessity to pat- ronize 'British and American publish- -- ers. The newspupers of the United Stat- es have been doing a great deat of talking--which 'means a great deal of boasting--about the population of the republic on a guess-census. the neal census figures having not been published in full yet. But all Ameri- cam papens do nat talk in the same Btrain on this subject. The New York Mail has this to say..and the advice is waluable in Canada. ag well as across the border. "Now they ware guessing the entire population of \the country up to 96.- 000,000--am overestimate. pf course -- and the various and generally flat- tering increases of the cities are be- ing commented upon and rejaiced in. The figures are hopeful in their tales of consistent growth, and the mood gratulation 'they inspire is warrant e THE 'OLD FASHIONED QUILT. 'These are the days of wonderful ex- hibitions, and ithe most impressive displays of \art, meedle work and de- corated china. We appreciate the ad- vanecement we are making and re- gard the cruder efforts of long ago ag a mere beginning. Yet. in spite of -- the wonders of the Twentieth Cen- ~ tury "fair" ome looks back with af- fection to the huge pumpkins and radiant quilts which made the coun try fair glorious, The old-fashioned quilt had an in- terest which the elegant eider down ~ "comforter" of these days seems to had, Perhaps it (may "be only the -- magic which they held in childish ¢ wyes--but it seems to me that a ris- -- ing. sun "eneation." and a log-cabin , "effect" which are associated with bh certain old farm house, were well" worth all the care which had been lavished upon them. There were such entertaining stories about the old-fashioned quilt--such bits of in- > farmation concerning each bright . patoh as furnished an afternoon of ald tales. ' It was almostas delightful as look- ing through the old scrap-book -- to hear about the piece of white silk. with a pink flower which Aunt Ly- dia wore as a bridesmaid. or of the © serap of blue velvet which Uncle Charlie had in a waistooat ever %: long ago. There Was a square of" blue satin which was fingere : ingly for it had lined a hood for "little Elizabeth" who had been car- ried from the old farmhouse to the phurehyard hill whem she was but a- sunmy-haired small girl, It was aio ~ whole family weeord, that old-fash- ~) -- ioned quilt with its odd pieces of ealico or silk with a "local calor? -- which the moderm marrator might © well envy.

We could Mish there were some way of taking stock of the mental and moral estate of the American oit- izen at (the same time that the de- eennial censuses were reporting on the imereases of his family. There is a sense in which other things, re- maining unchanged. an enlarging population makes against social im- provement. It reflects the drift to the cities. the building up of foreign quarters, where 'the inferests of the wation require that the alien. new- comer should go upom the land, and the rise in the cost of farm products through imcreased consumption. _ While there is cause for the rejoic- ing of the cities in the declared facts of their population increase and for the rivalries based thereom. yet as a sort of Kipling recessional. it must be reiterated that there are other things more important, That city has not progressed--it has gone backward-- whose population has been swelled by the creation of new slums and thein accompaniment of further prob- lems. in corrupt politics, That city has most reason for pride even though it has dost in the census. which ad- minsters its services honestly, which takes good care of its poor, which has clean politics, and a self-respecting public opinion, sd ey CANADIAN WRITERS AND WRIT- ERS ON CANADIAN SUBJECTS. 'The amnouncement made recently by Wononto Saturday Night that that journal iad arranged for the pub- lication of a series of articles *by Dr. Stephen Leacock 'and Dr. Andrew Macphail. once more serves to remind us ithat Canadian writers are receiv- ing deserved recognition at home as well as abroad. Dr. Macphail's pub- lished volumes, such as "Essays in Fallacy." and "Essays in Puritanism" to mame only. two of tthe many, have now a cirele of readers both in Can- ada and in England which 'the most optimistio would bardly have predict- ed iat the time of publication. The work of Dr. Leacock who is the auth- or of "Literary Lapses", a volume which has set the world smiling. is of a less serious character than that of Dr. Macphail. His optimistic humor sounds ithe note, and ithe reader laughs in spite of himself. 'The articles as arranged for by Toronto Saturday Night. are twelve in number, and will alternate from week ito week. For instance on Aug. 6th. appeared an article 'by Dr. Mac- phail. entitled. "Canada's Loyalty." YANKEES NOT GOING BACK An official denial of the report that 15,000 Amerioan settlers had left the | Canadian west this season, which was wKpread 'broadeast by the anti-Cana- dian propaganda in the Western Stat- es, is given by ,Will J. White, the superintendent of Canadian agencies neross the 'line. Mr. White says the number of Americans who have _ re- | onossed the border will mot exceed 400 -- and the majority of these have gone, back' to bring their families to Can- -- nda. Mr. White still stioks to his es- timate made earlier in the season of a onop of 100,000,000 bushels from the west this fall. Herbert Burbidge, of London, Eng- --_. says he ae to tke Harrods -- stores as a model for Hudson Bay and on the following week Dr. Lea-| shops and forsees 1a great fturue in - cock's first humorous sketch "How to} Qanada 'for ithe 1s ost make ja Million Dollars.' appeared.' @ystem. rae mg . xt
