Under ordinary erels of light weight varieties Is un- questionably at the broiler age. All surplus Leghorns and cockerela of similar breeds should be disposed of at this stage, as the quality of 0 flesh rapidly lowers with age, and they are consequently not in demand Ss roaster The most desiradle weight for broilers is from a pound and a halt to two pounds each, and the quicker the ehick be forced to these weights the better the quality of the broiler. In growing broilers the chicks may be fed and handled in the tsual way until they reach the age of aboul-8ix to cight weeks. The eockerels should then be senaraied from the general flocs, kept in confined quartess and forced with ground grains, mash and milk, Just an occasional feed of wheat or cracked corn being supplied to timulate the-appetite Milk lt;is ntial it tho highest quality is to be secured and when fed nour it acts as a stimulant and keeps the appetite Keen, A mixture of sifted ground oats and corn, corn, oats and barley, or buckwheat, oats and barley, makes a good ration, Shis should be mixed to a rather thin batter with sour milk and fed at least three times a day, all the chieks will clean up. They should haye at least two weeks feeding of thls kind before being marketed. When ready they should be starv- ofl for at least twelve hours, bled and neatly dressed, care being taken to avoid tearing the. skin when pluck- ingyas they are very tender and con- equently easily torn at this age, Those who are not experts at dressing, or who live at a distance from market, can make arrangements o ship to a dealer, who will dresa nd deliver at so much per patr.

Farm Problems In Africa, ' The following from the Farmers Journal of Nairobi, British East Afries, shows that agricultural life in that balmy land has problems Very similar to those that harasa Canadian farmers War has put before the farmer as well as the public generally the fact that agriculture is and ust con- tinue to be the most impdttant na- tional industry, and in these duys of surveys and statistical data it would be interesting to know what per- centage of the conversation of the consumers is on the subject of food. We venture to guess that 90 per cent. of the gossip at. social gatherings relates 0 food, and food prices, not as it effects the producer, but as it effects ourselves. Apparently, not only in love, but af all times, The way to a man s heart fs through his stomach. We believe in the ability of the B. F. A. farmer to pound his way through all obstacles, - We have unbounded faith in his resourceful- ness, initiative and intelligence. Yet, without a delinitely outlined course of uction hfs progress will be griev- ously hampered. We know that we are spending the richness of our farms like a prodigal, we are skin- ning our land to produce food at zero prices and 2 owing our manure to rot in our bomas because it doen not pay to cart t out to the land, We have not mastered the methods of farming and marketing that would couserve fertility.

On, the Harrow Tobacco Stwtion; avcording to Supt. BD. D. Digges, it has been found that plant produced from good home-grown seed ripened earlier and more uni- formly than those grown from for- eign-growt seed. In Wew of the facts, und the fact that Inthe the failure of many tobacco beds in Canady could be traced directly back to a lack of strong, viable seed for. sowing, it wonld seem advisable for each grower 6 select a few seed heads and grow his own tobacco seed accordiag to the 10st tmproyed- methods, In sel the whol several with of plant climate ket, wie fing seed plant Wield should be gone over days befare topping, and, fixed idea as 40 the type host suited to his soil sand and most desirable: tor his 1m the grower shonld select about as many plants as he vequires. The Plants selected ehould be typical ot the variety of tobacco grown, early and vigorous, It is also important fo take into consideration the num ber, shape, size and uniformity of the leaves; the time and uniformity Of ripening, the mumber of suckers produced, the color of the leaves at the time of ripening, and, if pos sible, the color of the cured leaves. After the preiiminary selection, the field should be gone over several times, and any plants showing un- desirable characteristics discarded, obacco is naturally a. self-ier tilized plant, and ordinarily does not cross. However, bees and other inseets flying from one flower to an- other will carry the pollen from one plant to another: and it a poor plant dr one of another variety should bloom out near the selected plants there is danger of them being cross- ed, and the benefit of the selection lost, unless the seed head is pro- tected in some way. Just before th frst fowers open, each seed head should be trimmed up until only the five top branches remain This in Sures the grower obtaining the seed from the earliest flowers which form, and the plant food which would be distributed over the whole seed head, were it left untrimmed, is. reserved for the development of the earlier pods. The seed head should then be covered with a fourteen-pound ma- nilla bag, the mduth of whieh is tied loosely around the stalk just below the lowest remaining branches About eyery two weeks these bags should be removed, all suckers and lute pods broken off, and then re- placed. After all of the seed pods haye formed, the bags should be re- nioved, und the pods allowed to ripen in the open. This will cause the seed to vipen earlier, and gite a bel er germination test. When the greater portion of the: pods have turned brown, and before any heavy frost, they should be ha vested and hung in a dry place for about two wionths to finish ripening and (o cure, After this (hey may be Nnited In storing obacca seed, care should bo exercised toqput them in a dry place, and in a container. into whlich the alr canspenctrate.

To sit beneath a swaying birel is Thuch like being in a church; your drowsy yelids lpse, and 16 ihe realms of dreams you un active, loaihsome fly cam upon your nose. How. often have lain awake until I siw the morning break and slumber would not com and I wotld sadly leave the hay to face another toilgome day, all punk and on the bum. My nighis are often things of dread, 1 toss around upon my bed, and find no comfort there; bnt when I sit beneath a tree the sweet restorer comes to me, its coat tails in the air. The trees have Voices sad and sweet, their world- Id music they repeat, a solemn, ylvan choir; the same old song they used to sing when earth was but a half-baked thing and mortals wor- nipped fire.
