Quality is first consideration at lowest market FUNITURE Colder‘s BlOSk ed to different environments. Only ’fnur breeds of beef cattle, viz :â€" Shorthorns, â€" Herefords, â€" Galloways, and Aberdeenâ€"Angus hbave attained popularity in Canada, and only the first mentioned can be said to be generally distributed. The others may equal the Shorthorns for beef production, and even surpass them under certain conditions, but the superior milking qualities of the Shortâ€" horns, and pariicularly of the grade bave given them an unequalled popularity among our farmers. Where feed is plentiful, and the country not so high or broken, they are likely to prove satisfactory beeters, and in addition will produce a fair amount ot milk. The ease with which good buils of this breed can be procured for grading purposes, is also an arguament in its favor. Breeders oft the other sorts are comparatively few, and the opportunity for choice is small, when une desires to select a bull. In the colder parts of Canada, aud on the bare pastures of the mountainous disâ€" tricts, the Galloways and West Highâ€" landers, should prove serviceable on account of theit hardiness and activity. Among the dairy breeds, the Ayrshires, Holsteins, Jerseys, Guernâ€". seys and French Canadians are all held in considerable esteem. Thei latter haye been almost unknown outside of the province of Quebec: until the last year or two, but they are now _ attracting considerable attention. _ Under adverse cireumâ€" stances, such as scanty passures, lack of proper winter feed and care, &c., they will probably yield a greater percentage of profit that those bréeds which have for generations been accustomed to good food and care. The â€" Guernseys although highly thought of in the U. S.. have never gnined sufficient ftoothold in Canada, to enable our farmers to jadge their suitability for this country. â€" Both they, and their close relatives the Jerseys, are especially adapted for the production of fancy butter or cream fora high priced city trade, and the majority of Canadian herds of these two breeds, are, I ‘think, used for this purpose The Ayrshires and Holsteins seem to be gaining in popularity among the general dairy ftarmers who support the cheese tfactories and creameries, and with the dairy Shorthorns, are likely to divide the greater part of the dairy field beâ€" tween them. The Holsteins are likely to do better on the leyel lands, with flush pastures and plenty of winter food, while the Ayrshires should, I think, find more favor on rolling or hilly lands, because of their igreat activity. 4 He will find it necessary to consider the nature of his farm : the suitability of his buildings and implements : the cost of hired help if such is required : the proximity of a good market for his for his finished products, and many details. The comparative advantages of beetâ€"growing and dairying would probably be the first point considered by a farmer who was just about to make start in cattle raising. Men who have had long experience in either of these lines. are not likely to change to the other line, involving as it does, changes in farm routine, in varietvy and management of crops, in buildings and equipments, without a good deal of deliberation. That beefâ€" production can be carried on with a smaller expenditure for labor and utensils is perphaps true, and it certainly does not require the constant attention to business that dairying entails. Next comes the question of breed, it will, I think, be generally conceded by fair minded men that there is no ‘*best ‘‘ breed. Everything depends on cireumstances. _A breed that proves highly satisfactory in one district, may be found entirely unsuitâ€" The question as to which is the most profitable cow is one that cannot be detided in ‘any arbitrary manner, There are so many cireumstances and contingencies to be taken into considerâ€" ation, that, after all is said and written on the subject, each man must decide the question largely on his own jadgeâ€" ment. But, while certain well defined differences â€" may â€" characterize â€" the various breeds, yet it may be well to remember that there is much greater differences between individual animals of the same breed than between different breeds. _A good cow is a good cow no matter what her breed may be. Theretore let each man select the breed that he considers best suited to his conditions, and stick to it. j sok ThE COW THA PMYS THE BEST. 3y tp se Sb n hy w4 MR It is impossible to accurately comâ€" pare the cost of fertilizers with the cost of seeds for the cover crops and the preparation otf the soil for them. The cost of increasing productivity by exâ€" tra tillage, by the use of tertilizers, by cover crops or by all these means, can only be determined in cach case by the farmer interested. I give below a single illustration of what a cover crop containg, knowing that another cover crop under other conditions, might either be more or less valuable. _ Secâ€" ond growth of clover, furnished in roots and tops per acre the following : â€" Nilrogen 138.86 lbs : phospheric acid 67.35 1bs. potash 109.96 Ibs. _ There is removed by 25 bush. wheat and accom panying straw, Nitrogen, 43 lbs, _Fhos- pheric acid, 20 1bs., and potash 37 lbs. It is believed that mest.of the nitrogen taken up by legumes is secured from the uncombined nitrogen in the atmosâ€" phere. _ The clover did uot add to either the store of phospheric acid or potash. The plant took them from the soil and made them available. F. W. Hodson, Live Stock Commissioner. ‘The Ontario Agricultural and Exâ€" perimental Union is prepared to distriâ€" bute for experimental pur;)oses xood seed of leading varieties of farm crops to an average of sixtyâ€"five farmers in each County and District of Ontario. Each person who wishes to conduct an experiment and is willing to use great care and accuracy in the work and report the results of the test directly after harvest should select the exact experiment desired and apply for the same as soon as possible. The maâ€" terial will be forwarded in the order in which the applications are received until the limited supply is exhausted. Although material tor not more than oune experiment will be sent to each person, it might be well for each applicant to make a second chuice for fear the first could not be supplied.

Prot. I. P. Roberts, of Cornell Uniâ€" versity says:â€" Cover crops may in a measure, take the place of ferlilizers and manures. They are not, however a universal panacea for all soil deficiâ€" encies, neither are they a full substiâ€" tute in all cases for fertilizers. There is always a wide field for the profitable use of one or all ot the concentrated forms of fertilizers named, and in many cases there is also a special place for the use of fertilizers, therefcre the more need of honest goods. _ Commercial fertilizers furnish available plant food but no huraus. The cover crop furnishes both, but it is only fair to say that the plant foods in the former are more available than in the latter. Cover crops improve the physical conâ€" dition of the soil, lesseniag the cust of tillage â€" Physically, tertilizers benefit the soil little or none. The humus furnished by the cover crops in treases the availability of the plant food alâ€" ready in the soil : fertilizers do not.

The practice tollowed by some farmers of using bulls first of one breed and then of another, is fatal to all plans of building up a handsome uniform and profitable hera of grade cows, and that is just what most farmers require. The average man does not need pure bred females : in fact wiil do better with good grades. The breeders of pure bred stcck, are, like the poet, born, not made. He must inherit a love for animals and an aptitude for handling them, otherwise his investment will provye unprofitable, arnd all his efforts a disappointment.

The farmers haye been holding back their cattle on account of the poor demand during the Lenten season, and as a result their were not enough today to go aronnd. There was also quite a fair demand today for this class of cattle because of the short run of yesteroay. These circumstances combined to place the market in the hands ot the sellers, and as a result the prices went up to a figure which has not been equalled since the spring of 1880. At that time, butchers‘ cattle sold at $7.50 per cwt, Today they were selling at $5.50 per cwt tor the chorcest grades. This was an advance of from Soc to $1 per ewt on the priees of vesterday. _ Export cattle were also stronger today, showing an advance of about 15¢ per ewt. ‘The market receipts were 40 loads, which included 490 eattle 251 sheep and lambs, 941 hoys and 40 calves. There have been 24 hurses received at the market this week. Export Catileâ€"Were stronger today on account both of the good demand ana the shortege in bntchers‘ cattle, which had an effect upon the demand for the exporters. â€" Choice exporters so!d at $4.8» to $5.65 per cwt. and medium ones at §$8.50 to $4,8o per ewt.

That " one touch of nature makes the whole world kin" is being shown by the many sympathetic and practically helpâ€" ful letters that are being received in reâ€" sponse to the appeal to furnish quickly the new Free Consumptive Hospital, the first Free Consumptive Hospital in Amâ€" erica. A few days since, Sir William R. Meredith, who has kindly consented to receive subscriptions for the hospital, found in his mail a letter from a mother in Hamilton, which reads:â€"*The enâ€" closed threo dollars is a contribution to the Free Consumptive Hospital, being one dollar for each of tho three children I have lost by that dread disease." All over tho Dominion families are being broken ap by this terrible white plague. Need we wonder that thoso who have lost loved ones shoulid contribute of their meansâ€"much or littleâ€"to bring hope and health to others who are sufferâ€" ing in this way, and whose case may become hopeless if help does not come quickly ? Amothor, «igning herself "Let not your loft hand know what the right hand doeth," writes Mr. W. J. Gage :â€"* Enâ€" closed find $1.00 for the Free Hospital for Consumptives. I would like, and if I were able, would give you $100, or make one of ten to give $1,009 each, but I am pour. . Though very poor, however, I cannot resi<t your special apreal, and earnestly desire that you will soon uave all the cash you require." The noew bu‘ldings are completed, and the trustees aro anxious that they should be furnished with the least possible delay, It does not nceed the suggestion that this is the most pressing of all charities at this time, for the public are fully awakened to the widespread character of consumption, and also to the fact, as deâ€" monstrated by the best moedical authoriâ€" ties, that when this discase is taken hold of in its early stages it, as much :s any other disease, is curable. The new hospiâ€" tal, just so soon as the money is raised to complete the furnishings, will be ready to receive fifty patierts, free of chargeâ€" even their railway fare will not be a tax upon them. l i Chief Justice Sir Wim. R. Meredith, 4 Lamport Ave., Toronto, has kindly conâ€" sented to receiva contributions for the Free Consumptive Hospital; or they can be sent to Mr. W. J. Gage, 54 Front St. West, Toronto ; or to tha National Trust Co., f‘imiud, 22 King St. East, Toronto. It is for such cases as thisâ€"and there is hardly a clergyman in any city who is not constantly meeting such appealsâ€" that the new {m Consumptive Hospital, under the auspices of the National Saniâ€" tarium Association, is being built. ‘The people of Canada as a whole must feel grateful to Mr. W. J. Gage and the executors of the late Hart A. Massey, who out of their own funds have erected this building. But before it can be occupied it must be furnished with beds and othcr proper furnishizgs and @&ppointments. The National Sanitarium Association, already carrying a heavy debt, are not able to furnish the new building so geneâ€" rously placed at their disposal, and are apâ€" pealing to citizens generally the Dominion over for $10,000 for this purpose. so that response be made to the daily ard pressing appeals that are coming to them for admittance. Contributions may be sent to Sir Wm. . Meredith, Chief Justice, 4 Lamport Ave., Toronto; W.J. Four of One Family Pass Awayâ€"Last Daughter Now 1. A Toronto clergyman tells of a family in his congregation, which consisted of the mother and five childrenâ€"the father being deadâ€"four of whom in a few years have fallen victims to consumption and died. And now the fifth, a daughter, who is employed in the office of a wholeâ€" saler, and who has been the one source of support to the mother, is obliged to leave her work, realizing that she alsoâ€"mainly, it is believed, as a result of nursing her brothers and sistersâ€"hay contracted this dread diséase. Kind friends are interestâ€" ing themselves in the case, but the diffiâ€" culty met with is to send her to a place where the proper care and treatment will be given. 1 Gage, Esq., 54 Front St. West, Toronto ; or to The National Trust Co., Limited, Treasurer, 22 King St. East, Toronto.
