FUNITURE . 30, 1902 Calder‘s Blotl Jewelle each each â€"OX 15¢ 25¢ 2C Keeping Unneccessary Stock. ‘Thts is another frequent cause of loss. If a farmer has more horses than are reâ€" quired to carry on the work of the farm, he should sell those he does not need, if a figure at all reasonable can be obâ€" tained. The cow which does not yield enough milk or butter to pay a good profit on her keep should be disposed of, and her place filled by another, â€"a few weeks‘ use of the scailes and Babâ€" cock tester will usually furnish some surprising results in this direction. Improper feeding of Stock. To secure maxium profits it is necâ€" essary that stock should be fed intelâ€" ligently ftor the object in view. Raâ€" tions should be caretully compounded in order to secure a proper proportion of albuminoids, and carbohydrater or as it is called, a proper nutritive ratio. Animals should be selected for early maturity and fed so as to be ready for market at an early age. The nearer maturity an animal comes, the greater becomes the cost of growth. Again money is lost by failing to provide green crops for feeding dnring the sumâ€" mer droughts incident to this country. Horses in many cases are given all the hay they care to eat,â€"a practice not only wasteful,but injurions to the anâ€" imals as well. 1 El M ie zit( . dudulst to all the inclemencies of the weather, which are more destructive than actual use. Small tools are frequently lost, and larger implements rust or rot. There should be a place on every farm where implements may be kept under cover, and none should be left out side when not in use. A workâ€" shop should also be provided in conâ€" nection with the toolâ€"house, so that durâ€" ing rainy days or other slack periods, implements may be painted and necâ€" essary repairs made. Much time is lost by farmers, during busy seasons such as seeaing, haying and harvest, because a bolt or some othersmall part has been lost.and a trip to blacksmith shop or foundry is necessary to replace it. This waste of valuable time might be prevented by a little torethought or examination of the implement be fore it was required for use. ln many cases 1r.plements are purchased, which the flarmer coald well do without. Waste of Manure. In the older settled portions of Canada the restoration or maintenance of soil fertility is already an important quesâ€" tion. How desirable is it then that all the manure made on the farm should be saved, and used in the best possible condition, without loss from leaching, firefanging, &c.? . Care of Implements. A very comâ€" mon source of loss is found in the negâ€" lect of expensive farm implements and tools. _ These are left lying in the fields where they have been used, subject Interior Seed. In many cases a partial or total faiâ€" lure of a certain crop is due to the purâ€" chase of a cheap or inferior grade of seed. Such seed is usually badly mixed with foreign seeds, so that the farm becomes overâ€"run with weeds which not only replace uscful crops, but entail a vast amount of la bor to get rid of, The division of a farm into small or irregular fields otften provides numerous breeding places for weeds in the fence corners,and other unculâ€" tivated spots. Neglect of Fences and Building. Another leak which takes money out of the farmer‘s pocket is neglect in keeping fences and buildings in roper repair. Inferior fences allow gis own and his neighbor‘s stock to Use of Time Tables. All men emâ€" ployed on the larm should have well defined dusies to perform so that thiir time may be used to the best advanâ€" tage. A good system provides for the feeding of stock at regular hours each day. When stock are fed and waterâ€" ed at regular hours they become accusâ€" tomed to the regularity of feeding and thrive much better than if fed at difâ€" ferent hours on each succeeding day. vbe necessary to make changes in the routine, but no change shuuld be made without due deliberation. All work should be carefually planned in ad vance and all tools and implements gotten ready so that there may be no delay when operations actually begin. EZC i tadract d tutat bus s ts ® io d are here given which will readily suggest others. Lack ot System. One of the chief leaks on many farms is the losg of time and energy because the management is not carried out on any definite sysâ€" tem. _A suudy of any old and successâ€" ful business will show that success has been largely due so a methodical and systematic way of doing things. Sysâ€" tem may be carried too far so as to beâ€" come merely mechanical, but as a genâ€" eral proposition it may be said that afâ€" ter a well defined plan of action has been determined on it should be rigidâ€" ly carried out. As more knowledge is ‘ gained, or new ideas acquired, it will be necessary to make changes in the { In order to pay, farming should be conducted in the same way as other business enterprises. A suitable return should be received, not onlyv for the money invested in the land, stock and implements, but also for the labor and cares of management. Every farmer should, by n simple system of bookâ€" keeping, keep a careful check on his receipts and expenditures, :o as to know exactly which of his farming operations are yielding him a profit, which are conducted at a loss, and which are causinzx him mere to ‘‘matrk time ". A litle figuring of this sort may reveal to him a number of little leaks which almost inpercepâ€" tibly draim away the profits that should reward his labour. In these days of fierce competition it is onl y by kecping down the cost of production and preâ€" venting all waste that farming can be madeL successful. Some sources of loss eady W STOP THE LEAKS. VR ‘ Too much cannot be said in praise of the unswerving loyalty by the disâ€" play of which Sir Oliver Mowat, Mr. Fielding, Mr. Blair and Mr. Sifton, in common with their other colleagues, acknowledgad the confidence placed in them. It was not long, however, beâ€" fore, even in a cabinet of the talents, the preâ€"eminence of the Prime Minister was made manifest. It was he who reâ€" moved the schools question from the political arena. 1t was he who, in his own person,captured the heart of Engâ€" land, secured the denunciation of the German and Belgian treaties,and causâ€" ed the British preferenceâ€"a most darâ€" ing stroke of polNcyâ€"to find lasting favor with the people. It was he who conducted the negotiazions with the United States in such a way as to comâ€" mand the universal respect of the Canâ€" adian people, without in the least giv. ing our neighbors to the south occasion for complaint. It was he who, bore upâ€" on by opposing wa ves of passion atthe outbreak of war in South Africa, brought his party and his country safeâ€" ly through. It was he who, called to London upon an errand big with ditâ€" ticulties, apparently succeeded in bendâ€" ing all to his will. And now he has come home, to find his strength doubtâ€" ed, a colleague in revolt, the people wondering it, so strong in all else, he " Sir Louis Davies has been credited with the remark, made in the early days of administration, that the more difficult the task committed to Sir Wilâ€" frid Laurier, the more successful the Prime Minister seemed to be in satisfyâ€" ing his colleagues and the public by the way he handled it Since the reâ€" mark was made Sir Wilfrid has had to submit to several pretty severe tests of his ability as a statesman, and he has in every case justified the enconium passed upon him by his friend and forâ€" mer colleagues. After the episode of Monday, Sir Wilfrid Laurier occupies a station of preeminence in Canada such as has been held by none other except Sir John Macdonald. His prestfge with the country is as great as Sir John‘s ever was. is too weak to be master in his own house. The answer was not long deâ€" layed. Once seized of the tacts, hedeâ€" manded his colleague‘s resignation. The crisis was over while vet a doubtâ€" ing people were waiting for it to deâ€" velop. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has asâ€" serted himself more vigorously than Sir John Macdonald ever did. And an hbhour after the fact bhad becoume known all Canada knew that time and cireumstances had conspired together to give us, what in our brief history Sir John Macdonald alone had been, a man who, in his time, is without peer and without rival, Firet of Canadian people. This is what the present week has given us. It will be many years before the like shall happen." The article then proceeds to discuss Laurier‘s entry in politics, the growth of the idea ot his fitness for leadership, & and closes with: The police all over the country haye receiyed word to be on the lookout for a couple of swindlers who have been opernt,inq among the farmers around St. Mary‘s and in case the rascals should come this way the news is published in these columns to put the farmers of South Grey on their guard. Chief Young, of St. Mary‘s. ask for the arrest of two mon driving a grey horse, with top buggy. The descripâ€" tion of one of these men indicate him to be very stout, about 35 or 40 years of e, smooth face and dark complexion. ?fe wore a light overcoat, black soft hat. red striped necktie, and was rather good looking. * The two men claimed to be bu ing chickens. At each farm house wiere they made a purchase they paid $1 down. For this they received a receipt from the farmer. The alleged receipt, however, turned ou: to be a note on a bank, and it 1s alle%ed that as much as ggoo has been collected around St. Under the above heading the Monâ€" treal Herald last week gave a sketch of the Prime Minister‘s career from which we take the following pithy extract: to a paper devoted to tarming; these men are Certainly losing ‘monev by false economy. In this age of progress it is ideas that count; a simple idea gained from a paper, will often, when put into practice, represent » gain of many times the subscriptin price. The lncal paper should als, always be supported, and each farmer should do all he can to assist the editor of the agricultural paper and the local paper to produce as good a sheet as possible, and to extend the circulation of each. I". W. Hopsox, Live Stock Commissoner. Lack of Knowledge. Nenrly all the leaks previously men tioned may be set down to carelessness, but farmers also lose because some ct them think that nothing can be learned trom others and that a new idea is necâ€" essarily n onsense. No matter how good a tarmer a inan may be, he can still gain ideas from others that will p. uve of value to him. The experience of the Experiment Stations and of sacâ€" cessful farmers should be ecarecfully scanred for " pointers . How many tarmers there are who do not subscribe for lumber or nails wiil often result in a large saving of feed and increased comfort to the stock during the winter months. Neglect of a ieaky root is often responsible for heavy losses of grain or :og@der and in the timbers of the baildings; many a good frame has been ruined by a leaky roof. injure his crops, and are a source of constant worry and loss of time. The old proverb, " For the want of a nail the horse waslost"‘, is very appropriate jn s‘uch_a case. A dol_lar or two spent Sign Nothing to Strangers. $s e ie SIR WILFRID LAURIER. THE UuURKAMâ€" REVIEW â€"The Department of Education is preparingy catalogues of books suitable for public school libraries. Copies of these lists will be sent to the teachers and the trustees of each school section. The department is endeavoring to in every way encourage the establishâ€" ment of school libraries, and is hopeful that in time every school seciion will possess one. The lists now being preâ€" pared will embrace standard works on natural history, of travel, tairy tales, etc. â€"Section 26 of the Dominion Railway Act provides that at every railway station in Canada at which there is a telegraph office there shall be a blackâ€" board put up in a conspicuous place outâ€"side the station house and when any passenger train is half an bour late the agent or other person in charge, is required to write un the blackboard with chalk a notice stating when such a train is expected to reach the station. Every station master who refuses or neglects to obey the provisions of this section is lia ble to a fine of $5 and costs for each omission, Brantford Expositor: * Would be sorry to see a return to the old N. P., but would be equally sorry to see the government take a stern and inalterâ€" able stand on certain economie prinâ€" ciples without due regard being had to present and future industrial conâ€" ditions. " The necessities of Sir Wiifrid Lauriers position in England displayed his strength and hid his weakness. Te elâ€" oquence and impressive personality ot Sir Wilfrid Laurier were brilliantly useful to Canada. Noother man in the public life ot the country eould have done better, and it is a question if Canâ€" ada has an.ther politican in her service who could have done as well. " The return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a good cause for rejoicing in the ranks of the party which owes so much to his talents and good fortune and also in the country which has been well served by the Premier of England. Receipts at the western cattle market toâ€"day were light; ouly 45 carloads came in, comprising only 400 cattle, 1000 sheep and lambs, 1,l1o0o hogs, 80 calves, and a few milch cows. But for the light run of cattle bere we should bhave had a worse slump in prices than bas occurred for a long time; as it was prices were just about maintained; the quality was poor and trade slow. On poor cable advices from England and lack of space ou the boats, the export trade is dull; none of the stuff is over good in qualisy, and prices are unâ€" changed at from 4 to 4%¢c per pound, with 5e only occasionally paid for a few prime lots. ‘Twere were practically nothing doing in butcher cattle; good to chorce cattle sold at from 34 to 440 per Ib; but of the small supply the large portion conâ€" sisted of poor rough stuff, which sold at from 2 to 24c per lb. Good feeders are wanted, but few of the right sort are here toâ€"day. Other kinds of cattle are unâ€" changed. (Good milch cows are wanted. The quotations for ewes are from $8.25 to $3.40 per cwt. Lambs are worth from $3.50 to $3.75 per cwt. Culled sheep are gelling at from $2 to $3 each. Bucks are selling at from $2.50 to $2.75 per ewt. Calves are worth from $2 to $1lo each. Good : calves are wanted. Hogse were again weaker. The top price for choice hogs is $6 per ewt., and light and fat hogs are quoted at $5.75 per cwt. *‘*Canadians differ among themselves as to the exact national value of Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s lite, but they are unanimous in their desire that his life should be prolonged. â€"Among the many kind words of welcome to Sir Wilfrid on his return, few are more graceful than those of the ‘Toronto Telegram (Conservativye" . It says: Farmers in this section should keep a sharp lookout for such customers, and give the police information if they should turn up here.
