TO DAIKYMEN,

The following letter from Mr. F. G. Bovyer, the well-known siock raiser of Georgetown, is worthy of perusal and con. sideration :

“The most unsatisfactory and displeasing feature of the dairying business has been the necessity of slaughtering, as a useless ineumbrance, all the yearling bull calves. This practice was unavoidable, as it was impossible forthe dairymen to fiod accommodation, feed and attendance for bis milking herd and a large lot of steers which must be kept until three or four years old before being fit for the market. The waste of lite that had cost feed and care was tremeudous.

Lately the ranching and also the grain- growing districts of the Canadian North- west have been found very suitable for deve! opirg and ripening of steers for the British market. But the conditions of @imate there do not appear to be so favorati'e for breeding calves andcarrying them through the first winter. The result ia that a sudden and large demand for eastern-bred yearlings and two year old steers, st gould pricee, has arisen. Agents for the ranchers are thickly seattered over Ontario and Quebec, seeuring every avail- able steer. Atthe present time orders are in the hands of cattle dealers of this province for fabulous numbers of young rteers. But the supply on P. E. Island is so limited tbat it is doubtful if one car load can be seeured this season.

Is this scarcity of young steers to be &

exmisnent characteristic with ue? Surc- 'y not. The buyers are pot exceedingly inquisitive as to the breeding of the ani- mals, although there ere limits to their good nature inthat direction, The dam msy be any of a good useful beast, so long ag the s'cer i» healthy and vigoroue.and builtrivis. Lt for the sire,a Shorti orn, Heretu.., ve Ayrshire bull is preferred. Or, iu ciler words, steers with the character of either of these breeds are favored. But they refuse to buy those showing the characteristics of either the Holstein or Channel Islanders.

‘The fact that Ayrshires are wanted in the Northwest having become known in Quebec and Untario,bas caused quite a boom among the purebred Ayrsbire

HEALTH ON THE FARM.

Farming is generally consfWered to be one of the most healthy oec ipations. People in thecities in search af health usually flock to the country where the pure

believed to be bealth-producing., This is true enough, and many persone who have been without good health in the large cities have fully recovered after spending a comparatively shcrt time in the country. Bat in many cases we believe the improv-

ment has been due more than to any thingelse, However, the condition ot things in the

coustry should be more conductive to healih than conditions ia the city, but very ofien they are nut. IPfthose living in rural districts observed the Jaws govern~ ing Sanitay conditions to the same extent that they are observed in the citiea the

country would be a regular paradixe cf health. In every well ordered city the Jaws governing

Sanitation are very strict and are enforced by competent officers. Of course, auch regulations are more necessary in the city thao in the country but if thoee living . in the country wonld pay more attention to sanitary laws the standard of health would be very much higher than it is at present. People engaged in farm ‘work deceive themselves very often by thinking tbat there is no need of regarding savitary conditions so long as they have the pure air and fresh breezes of the country: and i frequently people are found Jiving in the midst of the most unsanitary conditions who wonder why tbey are not blessed with good sound health. Uneanitary conditions sre condacive to bacterial development, and neariy al! diseases have their origin iu germ life, and consequently sickness results, iu many instanees, where it is least expecied,

One cf the chief sources of disease in the country is to be found in the water. Frequently wells, from which the wate usec for drinking purposes is taken, are pear some polluting source that makes the the water anything but beslihy. Frequently decayed vegetable ur animal matter may be found adjaceat to many farm dwellings, the germs of which are inhaled by those living on the farm. Farmers do not give as much attention to these things as they should. If every detail connected wis the Sanitary arrangementson thé farm were well looked after there would not be as much sickness in the coun‘ry as ig found IL SOme sections at the present time.

A TRAIN ROBBING STORY.

The Drummer From New York Narrates a Romantic Experience.

The drummer had just finished reading a story of a train hold up and let his news- paper fall into bis lap.

‘*T had arather romantic experience once with train robbers,’’ he said, ‘‘which I think I won’t ever forget. I had been laid up sick for a week at a tavern in a Kansas town and my attendant had been a very sweet and gentile girl, who was a relative of the landlord. She was such a nice girl that I was in no hurry to get weil, and while I was putting it off all I could I was as industriously putting on the chains of love. At the end of ten days I was able to take up my sample case again, and when Ileft the town my gentle nurse was on the same train, in my charge, bound for Kansas City, where she was to be met by friends. I had never talked love to her, and I fancy she didn't suspect me of any- thing except a desire to flirt a little, but I

; ’ | had made up my mind to talk seriously to air, fresh breezes, andwholesome foods are |

her before I let her friends tal-e her away from me.

“T fooled along, as most men do under the same circumstances, waiting for a real good chance to come in, but before I reach- ed the proper condition the train came to a sudden stop in a lonely place, and by the time we had asked what the trouble was a half masked train robber stood in the aisle of the car with a revolver covering the contents. The girl turned as white asa sheet and I thought she would faint, but I told her she wouldn't be hurt, and she sut there as if she had turned into stone. As it happened, I kept my wits, and when a shot and a shout rose on the air outside and attracted the robber's attention for a moment, I whipped my reyolver out of my evercoat pocket and would have got him sure, but as I /rought the gun around the girl at my side caught my arm and stop- ped me. I looked at ber in amazement.

“*Don't!' she gasped. ‘It's my father!’ And then she fell in a faint, while the rob- ber hurried out in response to the calls from his partners.

**As for me,’’ concluded the drummer, ‘I thought probably it would be just as well for me not to add to the poor girl’s troubles by trying to get into her family.” — Washington Star

ECONOMICAL LIVING.

Sixteen Cents a Day Will Provide ishment For a Man.

Nour-

Sixteen cents a dny will feed a man at moderate work and 13 cents a day is re- quired for food for a woman, says the St Louis Republic ‘This is the result of ex- periments begun by Dr H. B. Gibson of the state university and continned after his death by Professors Sidney Calvert and David W. May. Many studies of dictaries were made The actual amount of food consumed exch day and the cost thereof have been actually determined. The aver- age cost per man per day at the University Boarding elubis 18'4 cents; of thisamount Mr May said probably 2 cents’ worth is wasted. 'hecost in private families would be smaller, with less waste

In summing up the results of the experi- ments Mr May says: ** When you buy, go to the butcher shop and select what you

want cnt let the butcher select it for you. You will socn learn to know the best. Hound steak is, all things consid-

ered, the cheapest. There aro better cuts, but, as a rule, not worth the difference in price. There is more in the cooking of the teak than there isin the portion of the beef from which it is cut. Make your own bread. It is far cheaper and should be bet- ter. ‘I'wenty-five per cent of water is add- ed to bread in mixing, and water at 5 cents per pound is not cheap. A good vegetable lard is cheaper and healthier than hog lard. Sugar is a cheap food. Give the children plenty of it. Beans and peas are very nutritious and are muscle formers. Tomatoes are of very little nutritive value aud are composed very largely of water. Buy the best butter and take note of the amount of cream that rises on your milk. Buy fresh vegetables when you can get them at a reasonable price.

* Above all, variety is the spice of a good appetite. Let there be anticipation at each meal, and not have the same dishes day after day. Even a Thanksgiving dinner will become monotonous if served alike for a week.’

The Fleet Horse In Poetry.

F. S. Dellenbaugh has an article enti- tled ‘** The Quick Horse’’ in St. Nicholas. It tells of the trained horses that play such a prominent part in the modern fire de- partment. Mr. Dellenbaugh says:

Mankind loves the horse, for the horse has been one of tman’s most valuable aids and companions in a!) countries and in all ages. But there are preferences among horses. Some are prized for their steady working gualities—their ability to draw heavy loads. From time immemorial the quality of speed bas thrilled humanity and found an echoin many a stirring poem. ‘How they Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix’’ makes the blood tingle in one’s finger tips, and we follow brave Ro- land across the dawn kissed Belgian land- scape with swift anxiety. When Browning tells us how ‘‘ Muleykeh’s’’ master, rather than win back his beautiful favorite by defeating her in the pursuit, shouts to the fleeing thief telling him how to call forth her highest speed, our hearts go out to him in sympathy as his pet steed in conse- quence vanishes forever from his fond sight. ‘Sheridan’s Ride’’ wakes us up till the thander of hoofs is mingled with the rattle of musketry and tho cheer of the rallying troops as the gallant commander spurs on to the front. In other ballads we dash with Kit Carson over the crisp, dry prairies with the roaring fire demon in hot pursuit, or we shoot our animal in “ Las- ca,’’ that stirring poem by Frank Desprez, and take refuge from the stampeded cattle beneath his poor body.
