*___ THE HORSE

There is no animal that responds

more to good cure than the horse. There are probably also no class of animals so universally abused than horses. A common way in which the owner abiiscs his horses, though per- haps uiiinteiitionally, is by working them all day. so that they are stiff, tired, aint steaming at night, and then turning tht.-ni out in the fields for the night. Even in warmest weather this is a bad practice for the horse is very tired and warm and it does not take u very chilly night to make him very uncomfortable. The rapid evapora- atioii of moisture from his coat is alone enough to make him feel chilled and cold, and he cannot get the amount of rcst requisite t`or the hard work he is doing. Many turn their horses out believing them to be more comfortable ooutslde, but this is very doubtful, for the grass is usually dump and could and horses left out- side arc usually stiff anti sore each mornliig. Others t.urii their horses otit for thc grass that they may pick up. A horse is entitled to it nice, clean, well littered stall and a manger of good hay after a hard day's work,and should use thc night for rest rather than hunting food.-Prairie Fatt

and Home.

A COTTAGE CHEESE HINT.

I niiikliig cottage cheese use an

enameled ware colander in which to press ft. Any milk product is very easily affected by its surroundings, and a metal colander may not only give a flavour. bitt is apt olso to

slightly darken the cheese, which should be of snowy whiteness.

HAYMAKING TIME

lf there is any farm work that

must be done at just the right time to obtain the best results, lt is the cut- ting aiid storing of hay. 'taking down the crop too early means not Only a loss of bulk but of quality also. while grass that is allowed to stand too long will make hay that will be refused by live stock on account of its extreme dryness and coarseness.

Alfalfa should be in process of first

cutting now in districts where it does well enough to provide three. or even two good crops in one season. This

dairy cows. and all kinds of stock like it if properly cured, after being cut at the right time. which is just before blossoming. The best of alfalfa is said to be equal pound for pound. to good wheat bran. and at the rate of two tons to the acre, which is only an av- erage for this kind of hay, it should be a much cheaper feed.

Perhaps the most satisfactory hay

for feeding on the farm, to all classes of stock, icludiiig horses, is that which is obtained from a mixture of alsike. red clover and timothy. This kind of hay is very largely' grown and its harvest will be heginniiig by next week in many parts of (‘aiiinla. 'l`o get the greatest feeding value in this mixture the red clover should be al- lowed to show a good share of full blossoms, because when it fthe red clover) is in that condition, the alsike will still be of good quality and in quantity suilicieiit to add considerably to the bulk of t.lie hay; thc timothy in the mixture should at the same time be slightly on the green side and

fit to cure without woodlness.

The time ot' day f`or cutting is

largely a matter of coiiveiiieiice; a great deal depends on what the ten- der is doing. as a tedder or else n side delivery rake should be used on all hay that is heavy enough to he worth cutting. lt’ a field is cut in thc curly morning it will need teddiiig as soon as the dew is off, and on five or six acres the teddcr may start again as soon us it has been over once, If the day is dry and there is ii good well wilted raking into windrows may coiiiiiieiice if the hay is to bo cocked and left over for pitching by liii.nd,but if ii hay loader is used inorc time must be given for drying out bcforo rnking, and a side delivery rake should al- ways be used where a hay loader is to follow. because this iiiachinc leaves the hay in lighter wiiidrows than does the dump rake, and allows of quicker drying and easier loading. The old method of cooking hay is hard to beat if quality is eonsidcrcd first, and it gives the workers ti chance to go on and get a second or even ii third field ready for drawing in if the weather is suitable and settled, but the side rake and loader arc grunt ninrgllillrig for cleaning up with, quickly, in catchy weather, which oftch occurs at

liaying time.

For storing hay the bigger the stack

or mow the better; in the page of a stack there is less waste from expos- ure to_ the weather where one liirge stack is made instead of several sninll_ones. and although small stacks are often made so as to get them fin- ished off for fear of rain there is not a great expense in providing covers which will keep wet from the top of a stack for its long as is iiccessary. Whcn hay is put into a barn. a horse- fork or slings should be used, and wlicre plenty ot' hay goes into one big inow, in a hurry, it seems to come out in better condition than when stored in small quaiitities, however pail", must be taken to keep the outsidcs ol' te inow well up and well trodden; thc dumpiiikg of the forkfuls will en.

sure solidify in the middle,

ldxpericiice is a good teacher when

it comes to judging the fitness of hay t`or mowing, but many farmers who have spent years in the business lose much food value in their hay bv having it too niucli cured. not only is much food value lost but hay is abso- lutely refused by stock if the succu- leiice is entirely absent; besides, in U19 02159 Of Clvver. the leaves are al- ’"°S¢ Glllefely lost when hay dries out too niuch in the field and the leaves 231;” Very illlllortaiit part, ot' clover

SOME STABLE RULES.

1. Treat cows gently and avoid ex-

citcment.

Be regular in time of milking. J. Keep stables clean, well-lighted

and ventilated.

4- Weigh the milk of each cow at

milking tinic.

5. Get your neighbor to share with

.von in owning ii Babcock Milk Tester, and test the product of each cow.

6. Discard the animals which have

fallcd nt the end the the year to pay t`or their keep.

7, Blireed your cows to it pure-bred,

registered dairy bull from a family having large and profitable production of butter fat.

8. ltiiise we-ll the heifer calvm from

cows, which for one or more genera- tions, have made large and profitable prodiictioiis of iiiflk and butter fat.

9. Breed hcifers to drop their first

calves at 24 to 30 months of age. Give cows 6 to 8 weeks' rest between lacta-

tion periods.

10. Joln a diarf cattle breeders' as-

WHY THE SOIL GETS TIRED

There are three ways in which n

soil may become "exhausted;” (ai by removal oi’ organic matter. (bl by the removal of plant-food elements, and fc) by the loss of lime. On some soils like peat, for example, the _re- moval of potassium on phosphorus alone through one or two croppings, makes itunproductive. On most long- cropped upland soils the low yield of two or all oi’ the above causes.

Some of the early 50-bushel wheat

lands are now 15-bushel oat lands. Such soils cannot be renovated in a season by the mere addition of ma- nure, or a little phosphate. These soils work hard; they are lighter in color than they used to be. they bllke and clover fails to grow on them any longer. Such soils need a tonic, they

need "hospital" care; they need more or less feeding, _

ing composed of Prince Edward Islanders entirely, oflicered by Prince Edward Islanders, assures every man in the Bat_tery the best D0SSlble treatment undef

all conditions which are met wi_th. '1_`h1S must 2PP€al fo nine!! °f SEQ* dwe want good men only as to us will be mtrusted the honor of nnce war Is- land; ' The officers and men must be prepared to defend that to the utmost even to the extent of their lives. Many Of the b¢SfY0l1U8_ men °f PUUCC Ed‘ ward Island have already enlisted in _thi_s Battery. It is up t0 you to do so now. Do not make the mistake of believing that the war will shortly end. The end looks farther away now than it did_one year ago. If you do not go with the Heavy Batteiy under the best conditions possible, you will certainty go later under more unfavorable circumstances. Therefore, be advised, COME NOW! One man today will be worth ten ai your from now.

Women Do Your Duty _

The greatest obstacle in recruiting for this Battery has been, not a_want

of volunteers, but the fact that parents and wives of volunteers are continual- ly refusing to do their duty. They little realize that _they are Sfllllfmg their mens’ manhood, as well as, assisting the Germans to win. Women you have not realized the enormity of the crisis. We do not ask you to coax your boys to go, but we do ask you when they wish to go, to remember the Belgium women and let them go.

Ye men of the North l come join in the strife

For country, for freedom, for honor, for life,

The giant grows blind in his fury and spite,

One blow on his torehead will settle the iight!

Flash full in his eye the blue lightning of steel,

And stun him with cannon bolts peal upon peat;

Come Islanders and drive the brute to his lair,

And overwhelm his wolf hordes with death and despair

Women Fighting For You

Do you young men of Prince Edward Island realize that at the very

minute you are reading this ad., there are women of the same flesh and blood as the women of Prince Edward Island who are carrying rifles in the trenches killing and being killed, in order to protect you in your gross carelessness and false security. How long are you going to 'stand for this. Do you know that there are thousands of French, Belgium and English women of exactly the same flesh and blood, with the exact same amount of love for life, love for their people and for their homes, as our Prince Edward Island women h_ave. They are now, as you read this, going into the trenches in Flanders, carrying back the wounded, caring for the dying, under the hail of shrapnel shell and rifle bullets. How long, Oh! how long are you young men of P. E. Island going to stand for this. Eiilist today l .You must go anyway. Do it like a ero. _

Chicken Hearted Siiirkers

Do you, as young able bodied men, realize that every time you pass

along the street or road, there are hundreds of people, men, women and children who know you well, who know you ought to beat the front, who point a finger of scorn at you and call you among other terms a CHICKEN HEARTED SHIRKER. Were all the men of the British Empire to do as you are doing, and they have every bit as much right, then Prince Edward Island would have long before this been treated as Belgium has been treated. Then. where would your comfort be and where your women and children? We want men, stern, strong, unbending men-we want them for the Heavy Artillery Battery, which if it places one single shell in the proper place in the trenches of the enemy, will have with that shell avenged all the deaths which have so far taken place in Prince Edward Island. Won’t you come and help us place

that Shell correctly ?

Whatever has been dealt out to Belgium, France and Poland, will be

our fate ten-fold, if we fail to subdue the Germans.. That we shall be broken, plundered, robbed and enslaved like Belgium will be but the first part of the matter. There are special reasons in the German mind why we should be morally and mentally shamed and dishonored beyond other people-why we _should be degraded till those who survive mayscarcely dare to look each other in the face. Be perfectly sure therefore,that if Germany is victorious every re- finement of outrage which is within the compass of the German imagination will be inflicted on tis in every aspect of our lives, Will Prince Edward Island be asked to suffer as Belgium suffered because YOU stay at home?

ENLIST TODAY

'1 he call for men and ‘yet more men is imperative. Our Canadian

Brothers’ in Arms have worked wonders. In Prince Edward Island we have many more of such men if they would only awake to their responsibilities. The Germans know it, the British know it. the French know it and every P. E. Islander knows it. _Now is the time for you to win your ribbon. It will show that you shared in a struggle that will be talked off to the end of time. Enlist today and take your part in the work at the Front which is for real men

- and them alone. The call is to Youth to Courage and to those who desire to

see the wonderful adventure which twelve nations are' sharing. Your sons at the Front were boys ten months’ ago. Today they are .iron vetemns who have earned fame. Put on your Khaki and your manhood today.
