I,,-I__ ON THE HILLS OF OLD NEW HAMPSHIRE The Abandoned Farms of New England and How They are Reclaimed Mr. George Woods of Port Hope was in town on Saturday and in conversation with a Watchman-Warder representative made some interesting observations about his experience with one of the famous abandoned farms of the New England states. Advocates of better treatment of Can- adlan soil often clte these low American homesteade that were glven up after years of profi able labor as examples of when our farm: will come to if thetr ad} vlce is not heeded; Hence the impres- sion has gone abrmd than these lands in New England were deserted wholly be- cause they were poorly handled end lose their fertill'y. Mr. Woods made lt appear that this was tLe case in only 3 small degree and than the actual canoe l we: a. wholly dnfisrent one. Mr. Woods twee born in Wlecansln, Ln: early in Me came to Canada. Afterward he bought one of the deserted forms of New Hamp- ehire and lived on is for eight years. He then returned to Port Hope where he has been engaged in the sole of form im- plements and the manufeol are of a. dobexv- {rig-y popular honing mdl'. EDWARD BUTTERWORTH, clerk. In conversation Mr. Woods said :‘ ‘v “I had heard of the deserted farms in the New England states. My wife and I took a trip to New Hampshire and while there bought one of them. Is was an 80 acre farm. I psld $1,500 for it. The build- lugs on it: had cost more than Cwlce that sum, The house and heme were well built and in good condition. They had not been used for some time but I had no trouble in putting them in good shape. Now the reason these farms were abandoned was the boom,in the west. By “the west” in those days was meant. say as far west as Illinois. Tne finest farms of that state were for sale at fifty cents per acre. It was prairie land. cov- ered with hazel scrub. I bought land in Michigan at $4.50 an acre that had $60 per acre of walnut on it. "With this inducement it was not much wonder the vouug men left the rougher lands of New Eog'and and sought homes in the west. That is what they did. As a result. the1 old peepie were left alone on the home- steads. The] were not able to work them, for the land was mostly rough and had to be tilled by hand. The crops had to be gathered in the same way. Har- vesting machinery oould not be used, and implements of cultivation to only a limited extent. So the old people had to leave. There were no purchasers and there was nothing for it but to abandon the land. Well, I boughb this place. In was very much like the other forms in the country. Some of it was level and very good. but a good deal of in was cut up by ridges that had been covered with pine. The first year I barely paid eXpeneee. Next year I did very well, and the next I paid a man $400 to work it for me. After that I made money. I kept twelve or fourteen cows and four horses. I worked 20 acres and let the rest of it go to pas- ture and bay. The 20 acres was worked on the intensive system. PUT:ON FERTILIZER. There was a big factory near the farm, and I bought all the wood ashes. I spread it thickly :over the twenty acres. Then I took great care with manure. I built cement floors and a catch-basin, and so saved all the liquid manure. This was mixed with earth and made first-class fertilizer. With the ashes and the man- ure I soon had the lafi'd in fine condition. I got as many potatoes from half an acre as my neighbor idid from eight acres. Ashes make a complete fertilizer. They contain everything the land needs. There was a. splendid market. for all our produce. We made butter on the cream- ery system and sold it at: high prices. From springs on the hill-side I brought water all through the house. After eight: years a man came up from New York looking for a. nice farm. He uflered as $7500 and we sold. Plenty of these farms have been taken up again- There was plenty of money made on them before the boom in the west), and the people who are now working them fiud them very profitable.” Mr. Woods thinks a. great deal of hle native land, but Csueda is the country he likes to live in. He thinks this country especially fine. Years ago he travelled all over it: thh mills, and has made and sold over one thousand of them in Ontario. He is a man of American vivaoiry and ohrewdoeu, combined wuh Canadian thorougheee and lnbegnty, and altogether a pleuann mm to meet. [From the Owen Sound Advertiser] A contest of considerable interest to dairymen was held at Mr. McQuaker's Creamery. An open challenge which had been adVertised for some time in the local press by Mr. Anderson, the Owen Sound agent for the Melotte cream separator, ‘ was accepted by Mr. Lyate, the agent for the Alpha de Laval Separator, who named the time and place of the above test. He also laid down the conditions under which the test was to be held. There was a fair attendance at the trial. The test was advertised to commence at 10 a. m. but owing to disagreement about conditions it was later. The Melotte agent wanted a test of efficiency of separation, power required, time required, means of regulat- ing cream, construction, materials, safety. ease of cleaning, and selling price. The Alpha de Laval agent would not agree to amend these conditions. The Melotte agent finally accepted these terms on condition that an extra test 0180 lbs of milk at 95° should be made. The results must be gratifying to all dairymen as showing how very closely the skimming can be done by the improved methods. The BabeOck tester in the iinal test of the Melotte showed '_only one-hundredth of one per cent: of fat left in the milk. Uniortunatly the first test proved of no eflect owing to the fact that after the Melotte sample had been tested the Alpha. de Laval agent in handling the test tube containing the Alpha de Laval sample dropped and’ broke it, while in the meantime the skim milk had been no mixedso that another sample could not be obtained. The final test showed the Melotte 1-100 of one per cent., Alphade Laval, 1-50 of one per cent. The thanks got the public are one to Mr. McQuaker and those who have been instrumental in bringing the test about, while the victory still remains with the Melotte Separator.

To hatch out a chick and make it grow to the broiler size just when the market de- mands it must all be accomplished through artificial methods. It is going contrary to all of nature’s rules, from the time you put the egg in the incubator until you kill and pluck the bird for market. Conse- quently we must understand not the laws of nature, but the rules that all have learned through long years of experience. ‘ 1 _-A:1,...~ (~an vA-lvv- --â€"_v .. In every lot of young broilers some will grow much faster than others, and it will be necessary to make an early classification of the strong and weak. Otherwise the strong will crowd down the _weak ones, take most of the food, the best of everyâ€" thing, and actually keep them from growing properly through fear and intimidation. Keep the Weak ones together and the strong chicks by themselves, and it may be even a third division will improve matters. The pugnacious chicks might well be kept in a. separate pen, where they can fight it out among themselves and not vent their anger upon the more peaceful ones. The most im- portant disease the young broilers and spring chickens suffer from is bowel trouble, and the food must be given to them very carefully. This is often due to the fact that the young chicks have not taken enough grit in their food to grind it proper- ly. Chick size grit should be given to them regularly, and if they do not ‘ take it mix it with their mash. Grit must be eaten by the birds if their health is tobe maintained, and as they grow older large size grit must be fed to them. Bowel troubles will rarely develop where sufficient grit in one form or another is given to the birds. Growing chicks should never be crowded, and When the days are Warm enough they should be given all the outdoor exercise possible. When they have to work for their food they have good digesâ€" tion, and when they have that few troubles or diseases will bother them. â€"-Annie C. Webster, in American Cul- tivator. of Great Assistance “'hore Heavy and Bulky Articles flavn to Be Lifted. The Wheel and shaft that is found in many farm buildings to aid in raising heavy weights is decidedly cnm'enient'. but. a Wheel is not easy to make. A simple substitute for the Wheel in this hoisting arrangement is shown in 'the cut, where 'the wheel is replaced by four arms that, have guides at their ends, through which a rope will wind and unwind. The method of making is plainly shown in the cut. Such a device is of the greatest assistance where heavy arti- cles are to be lifted for weighing or other purposes. The arms are just as convenient to use as they would be if doubled in number. and a rim put Upon the outer ends, and are much easier to make. The longer the arms the greater the power, of course, but this form of lifting machinery is very powerful in any circumstance, and quite adequate for raising any ordin- ary weight. This Little Pig Came Home. A New Jersey farmer tells this remarkable story to the Evangelist, and vouches for its truth: “I had more pigs than I wanted to keep, so I sold one to a man living in the neighboring village. The little pig had been living in the pen with his brothers and sisters, and had never been outside of it until the man who bought him put him in a basket, THE BROILER BUEIN ESS- tied dOWn the cover, and put it in his wagon to carry to the new home. Late in the afternoon the farmer who sold it saw something coming across the swampy meadow below his home. He watched it struggling through the Wet places, climbing the knolls, until he could see that it was his little pig, all covered with mud and very tired. He went straight to- ward the barn, against which was the only home he recognized. The money was returned to the man who had bought it, and the little pig stayed at, home." Causes of Strenkv Minter. . Dryness at the time of salting and insufficient working immediately thereafter are specific causes of streaky butter. If the butter is dry when salted, worked lightly and left several hours, streaks are almost cer- tuin to result. Use a little more salt than is necessary, work it through the mass carefully and even- ly, then give the contents of the bowl a cold-water bath to remove surplus salt and buttermilk, and there will be no streaks after the finâ€" al working. Utilize this salt rinsing water on the asparagus bed or on cut feed or hay for cattleâ€"Agricultural Epitomist.
