Even taking the limited supply of labor into consid- eration, the farmer is. in tiie best position of anyone to grow a good garden-a garden which will not measure dependent on the nature and supply of the litter used. For the purpose of a litter is not only to act as a bedding material. to keep the animal warm, dry and‘ comfortable, but also to serve as . an absorbent to take up and hold all the liquid excreta-the most valuable part of the manure. Straw is the universal litter and there are ‘few better, but there are seasons in which the supply is short and it may then be advanta- geously supplemented with sawdust indeed, used alone dry sawdust is quite satisfactory. It is clean and easily handled but is particular-ly- valuable for its high absorbent pow er for liquids, which is two or three times that of ordinary straw. it is not rich in plant food constitutents but its subsequent decomposition ln the soil gives rise_to much lia- mus-forming material. It should he used in sufficient quantity to absor completely all the urine. There is a more or less general impression among farmers _that manure from stables and cowhariis in which sawdust has been used as a ‘litter is injurious to the laud. W'iiile we would not say that this suspicion may not have some found atioii. we have never been ablolo discover a Single instance of such ' injury and enquiry has been made ‘both in Canada and the Unitcd States‘ in this matter. Such injury could only occur on very light soils, following very heavy applic- ations. Most satisfactory evidence has been obtained from many farms upon which sawdust has been uscd as a bedding material ifor a 'nuni- bcr of years. and upon which the soil is light and sandy. Naturally it is on heavy soils that this class of manure proves most effective. One word of caution is neces- using sin-dust beats very rapidly. llorse manure from stables only reduce the cost of living, but which will add wonderfully to the variety of the i'ood for the table. There was a time when the farin- er produced his uwn meat, which included not only pork, but a good variety of beef and mutton an well. That port of the beef which could not be consumed at home was sold or exchanged with neighbors. Now and pork to the butcher, and buy it back at nearly double the price in small quantities. There is hardly a farm In the Maritime provinces that will not grow more and’ a better variety of fruit than it does at present. 'l‘his includes, besides apples, the vor- ious berries, currants. and cherries at least some of which will do well on nearly all farms. Even in the case of milk und butter too little of these are used on most daiigvnieirs tables.

By cancelling the winning race records of fast horses that have not beaten them for two years and putting them all in the 2.12 class it gives a time ul- lowaiice oi’ 12 seconds to ‘horses like Miss Morris ‘M. and Single (1., while to horses with records of 2.10 the allmvaiice is only two seconds. and to those with records of 2.12 it is nothing at all.

And to the initiated it looks as if they had done f.t -in hopes of bolstering up the entry lists at the fall fairs. without much regard for any other angle to the situation. A progressive ‘time al- lowance of two seconds the first year and four more the second year, or four the first and eight more the second, for all non-witn- ners alike, would have seemed like ‘the fair action to take. and no one has yet shown that it would not have accomplished all that the “biuikruptcy act" is expected lo do. -———<0>---- PLANTS AND SEEDS in school; where botany or ad- lied subjects are studied it is usu- ully the custom to study wild plants. Such plants possess strik- ing flowers wlt1h clearly defined parts and are well suited to u bot- anical examination. Plants like the oats, on the other hand, are seldom studlled either from a bot- logfcali standpoint. One of t-lie pur- poses of the new pamphlet.

The fact that dlfferenrt oat plants taken from l; field may dil- fer very considerably in practical value, and may mark the starting point of new and superior races or “sltrains" provides an at-fratcllve op- portunity to engage in a most in- teresming and promising line of in- vestigation.

For Legliorus, one cock for every fifteen hens or liulletu will he ani- ple; for larger breeds, one to every ten hens or pullets. Oftentlnies one to every twenty hens will be su-f- ficient where you have a particul- arly vigorous male line. Cock bird's should be retained for mating with the pullets and cock- erels for the yearling hens. Only those cocks which have proved themselves good breeders the prev- ious season should be kept. Then gather up all the others and send them off lo market. The cocks had best not be per- mitted to run with the hens except during the breeding season.
