The careless thresher leaves live coals around his engine when closing down for the night. In the morning he finds that a high wind sprang up during the night, his threshing outfit has gone up in smoke and a disastrous prairie fire is raging. The direct result of carelessness is that hundreds of set- tlers are deprived of their homes and crops, while some are penniless and dependent upon the community for: assistance to tide them through the winter. “The person who starts a prairie fire through carelessness or neglect should be severely punished. Such a measure surely would educate people to be more careful.” E Fire Commissioner J. K. Wilson, I l Saskatchewan Official less Travellers From Ontario comes the report that Americans are buying mares quite heavily. In that province, out of a shipment of 65 horses made from Toronto to New York recently, 52 per cent were females suitable for breed- ing. The American market is short of brood mares, and has been and wil‘ continue to buy quite freely in Canada. It is up to the Canadian farmers to see that this depletion of breeding stock is not carried to excess. In the west there is an abundance of feed and there is no reasonable excuse for all available mares not being bred. Canadian farmers do not appear to have fully grasped the situation with regard to horse breeding. The Can- adian west, particularly Saskatchewan and Alberta, have had to import horses from eastern Canada quite heavily, and this is an expensive pro- cess, because eastern horses require a very considerable amount of accli- matizing in the west. The wastage of horses in the war, While it is not so great as when there are heavy cavalry charges, is very serious, and these horses will have to be replaced. Goon heavy horses cannot be produced in a day or a year. Some Timeiy Advice on the Need of Brood Mares 4-inch material, 12 feet long.

The far- mer could be encouraged by the mer- chant along these lines. Too many candy pails are used for butter pack- ing, even soap boxes are sometimes seen. The merchant can study the butter situation in his district and show the farmer where his product can be improved.

Communica- tions read as follows: we believe that it will be a very wise practice to raise as many chick- ens as it is possible or practicable to handle. Early hatched chicks make good winter layers. Rough grains will be produced in abundance in Canada and the feeding of poultry at a profit should be materially as- sisted from this source. Eggs at winter prices are a paying proposition In any event. Poultry, alive or dres- sed, under present and prospective market conditions, can unquestionably be reared and finished at a decided profit. A good flock of poultry, if :arefully handled, will serve to prevent waste on the farm and promote econ- omy in living expenses, such as is particularly necessary when all farm products are becoming so marketable and so dearâ€"John Bright, Live Stock Commissioner. â€" v-v-v "In.“ establishing our export business upon a firm basis.

Whether view- ed from the standpoint of the farmer or of the produce trade, it is now one of the best organized and most pro- gressive of any of our live stock in- dustries.

The re-organization of methods'ot‘ the trade is providing against loss in handling-is assuring to the consumer a better article and An Industry Which Offers Much couragement One of the healthiest signs of pro- gress in Alberta is the continual for- mation of new school districts and building of new schools. All over the Province are these sign posts of civili- zation to be seen. But neat buildings furnished with an up-to-date equip- ment are wasted money without the real spirit of education. For many years memory was the only faculty cultivated in a child. Prizes were al- ways awarded for learning by heart long lists of names and facts. The names of the kings of Israel and Jud- ah, the height of Mt. Everest, or a Bible chapter repeated backwards were considered signs of great intel- ligence in the poor little learner. But children have come to their own and a glance at the course of studies for our rural schools will show the strides made in the right direction. Nature study plays an important part, and our children are taught by observation the great lessons of natureâ€"the mighty mother of all real Wisdom.â€" the 'Vardar River, Here is one of the massive g uns which the Allies are using in Bulgars and Teutons i_n the Balkan theatre of War.
