JOHN KENNEDY. On Tuesday morning Mr. John Kennedy died at his home in Dunsford. at the age of 62. Mr. Kennedy, who was known to his friends as Captain Kennedy, was born in the township of Emily. When a. young man he went farming for himself on lot 18, can. 3, of Verulam, where he lived for 21 years, until he retired and took up his residence in Dnniford, some eight years ago. He had been in feeble heaith for two years, and his death was not unexpected. His widow, who survives him. is a. daugh- ter of Alex. Bell. Of their family seven survive. These are: Mr. ‘.V. B., on the homestead; Mrs. McCullum, New Toronto; Alex. of Lindsayfllames and Mrs. Cherry of King: township; Mrs. S. Thurston of Dunsford’: and J. W . of Neepawa. Norman died two years ago. Mr. Thurston was a member of the Independent Oddfellows years ago. and a warden of the English church at the time of his death. His funeral took place on \Vedne:dav after- noon to 8;.

Take a narrow strip of board, and nail two strips along the sides, so that the tile will just fit in be. tween them. Successive strips of boards treated in his vfey will gives row of tiles that; lie perfectly even from one end to the other. This condition is one of the necessities in successful tile-laying, for This work nus: ”Be Done Carefully nun Scientifically. any unzvenness in successive lengths of tile is quite sure to cause a. deposit of sediment and a. consequent clogging of the drain. Where so much expense is undergone in opening a. trench for the laying of tile, says The New York Tri- bune, to say nothmg of the title itself. it seems a great pity to have a small mistake made in laying the tile which may soon destroy its usefulness alto- gether.

Obituary 1!“ On our first use of the trap we were surprised to find many got out by forc. ing themselves through the screen. We then covered it with light cheesecloth and have lost none since. Usually we lead or drive the cow into the first room, closing the door behind it. As it passes on into the dark room the brush and curtains sweep off the flies, and they follow the light into the trap. Give a few minutes then with both doors closed to secure all of the flies. but we have passed through several, one at the heels of the other, with good results. After the first time it is little trouble to get a sensible cow to go through. They seem to realize it is do- ing them good HORK FLY TRAP. mal passes through. There are also side curtains and a. short middle one, sweep- ing back and sides to keep the flies from following through when the door is opened to let the cdw out. This 18 the most difiicult part of the performance, the flies being very loath to leave their bed and board, as any one can find out by trying to drive them off a cow when out of doors. This screen makes two rooms, each ten' feet in length, one very dark and the other lighted from above through the trap. We used two cast off screen doors to make sides and ends of trap and covered with wire screen, and it is probably larger than necessary, but have found that no objection. It is 5 feet long, 3 feet wide and 3 feet high, and an opening three feet long and a foot wide lets the light down and the flies up into the trap. Once in the trap they rarely try to go back. but spend their time trying to get out through the top and in from one to two days are starved to death Care of Cow Stables. At least twice a year we like to thor- oughly overhaul the stable and all its furniture, a general house cleaning as it were, writes L. W. Lighty in The National Stockman. We prefer rather a windy day and open up all windows and doors and completely sweep and brush out all nooks and corners. Re- move everything that is movable. Clean out manure, straw. hayseed, etc., and flush the gutters completely. Now dis- infect the stable thoroughly. Sulphate of copper or chloride of lime is what we generally use. though some of the com- mercial disinfectants are sometimes preferable. Common Whitewash or quicklime is very good to use for some parts of the stable. If there is any sus- picion that any disease is lurking in the stable, such as abortion or any other, this disinfection should be particularly thorough. Close the stable quite tight and burn sulphur or. still better. gen- erate chlorine gas by pouring hydro- chlori‘c acid or some chloride of lime. This forms a deadly gas, and you want to use it with caution, but it will do thorough work. All the mangers or troughs should be secured with boiling water. By this semiannual cleaning up we have thus far escaped all the trou- bles that often cause serious loss to many dairymen, such as calf scours, abortion, etc.. and at the same time it helps to produce the best and cleanest milk from which to make first class butter. Benefits of Dairying. Mr. R. G. Welford in an address be- fore the Illinois Dairymen’s association made the following observation upon the beneficial effects of dairying on any community in which it exists. He said “In my experience of 30 years in Illi- nois. Wisconsin. Iowa and Missouri I have noticed that wherever the dairy cow is there is prosperity. whether the climate be good or bad Dairying has also greatly increased the sociability and contact of farmers with one an- other. for they meet when they come to the creamerv or factory. While they are waiting they discuss how to get and keep good cows This has done won- ders for such farmers. It has also called out more intelligent farming, and we find that the papers that cater to their ideals are sought for and eagerly read. ”_ The size and proportions are a. guess on our part and can be altered to suit. This one is 20 feet long, 6 feet high and 4 feet Wide, made of inch oak boards. It has a door at each end nearly full size and is lined inside With tar paper, which is put outside on the top to keep out the rain. Every ray of light is ex- cluded except What comes down through the trap, and, of course, it is fly tight. Midway a six inch board is set on edge across the bottom, and to it the sides and top are tacked bunches of evergreen foliage to brush off the flies as the ani- A Device to Starve the Pests to Death. Horn flies came early and in force this season and so tormented our cows and bulls that humanity as well as a. due regard for pocket interest demand- ed that something should be dcne, says P. S. Lewis 8.: Son in The Breeder’s Gazette. Having previously tried with poor results to keep off the flies by put- ting nasty stufi on the cows and not having forgotten the trap, we concluded to try to build one. HORN FLY TRAP. Shrub West Indian Cattle. Some of the stockmcn who have re- cently visited Cuba and Porto Rico have expressed their surprise at the large size of the native cattle, there naving been no attempt made to im- prove them by the use of bulls of the oeef breeds. It must be remembered, however, that the abundant supply of highly nutritious pasturage throughout the year and the mild winters of the West Indies permit the calf to grow to maturity without any check. This alone is enough to account for the large size attained by range cattle on those Islands. The native stocks in Texas have degenerated from taxing the ranges too heavily and from the stunting effect 'of winter on young stock. With the food and climate which the Porto Rico cattle enjoy they ought to be largeâ€"Live Stock. a faculty for turning their heads so that their large, fall faces are aimed always at the sun. The plant is a big, oily, gold producing article of co’m‘ memo and has its own peculiar points of growth and management. It has just been learned in England that sun‘ flower seed is the most fattening of all foods for cattle. Several farmers there are coining money by raising the plant wholesale for market. Within a mile of the principal farm in the southern counties there are more sunflowers probably than in all other parts of the world. The farms look like great yellow mists when viewed from Edge- ton hill, 20 miles away. The fields have to be watched close 15’ while the flowers are ripening. Blackbirds, starlings and especially sparrows know the fattening qualities of the seed and immense flocks of the birds come from all points of the com- pass to feast upon the growing crop. Boys are posted around the edges of the plantations during that period to scare the feathered thieves away. There are 500 acres of sunflowers al- together, and when the ripe heads are cut in the fall the crop will yield about 300 wagon loads of seed. The market value of the seed is $50 a loadâ€"a total income of $15,000 for the crop. The seed is crushed and pressed into cattle cakes. To raise these great sunflow- er crops the fields must first be fer- tilized with calf bone dust. That is an expensive feature. Twenty men are employed in the bone grinding mill. Sunflower Seed For Cattle Food. Sunflowers are no longer to be re« garded as more garden ornaments with Grasses and clovers can usually be sown along wth these grains, with a good “catch” as the result. I think that experience will show that even when the barley or oats are pastured ofl the grasses and clovers will still hold, and thus one can get a pasture crop and a catch of grass the same season. More experience is needed on these points, but the subject is an in- teresting one for those who are study- ing to increase the capacity of each field of his farm until all are made to produce to the utmost. ank of Forage. The Denver Field and Farm says: “In some instances the present lack of forage is due as much to the slowness of the farmers and stockmeu to adapt themselves to the existing conditions as it is to the want of suitable crops for cultivation. it is difficult to get out of the old siipsliod range ways, even though it is known that a little well directed effort will make a given amount of land yield several times as much forage as it did formerly. Care- ful attention to the development of na- tive meadows and pastures and a more general cultivation of miscellaneous forage crops that can be grown with at least a fair degree of success in nearly all localities will do much to- .Ward solving the forage problem.”- Few farmers realize how advanta- geously some of the cereal grains may prove for pasture purposes. They are apt to think of them only as grain producers, when in truth Wheat, rye, oats and barley are all grass plants as much as timothy and blue grass, though they do not form quite as dense sod. It is well to bear’ in mind the secondary value “hich these plants possess and use them whenever neces- sity or oppoxtunity rcquhes. Barley is a wonderful plant in many particulars. Next to rye, it grows near- est to the north pole or any cereal in Europe, and still it flourishes in Arabia and other hot countries. Sown in mid- summer, young barley plants will in a short time reach a height where they can be pastured off, and a barley pas- ture will hold good until late in the fall. On several occasions the writer of this has seen barley which was sown in July head out in the fall, and last season a sample of mature barley grains was sent to us grown from the second crop. This, of course, is unuâ€" sual, but it shows what may happen. The first freezes of fall do far less harm to young barley plants than to wheat or oats, and this is an additional advantage. $31018 condition. On this well made seed bed sow oats, wheat, rye or barley, the last named being far preferable. Where one wishes to gain b' *8 fall and spring pasture, rye will be found satis- factory. Where fall pasture only is desired, by all means let barley be sown. When sown in midsummer, rye and wheat plants are apt to show red rust in the hot weather, and this is a serious drawback in many cases. ldvnntag'ea of Some of the Cereal Grains. The present is a.‘ good time to con- sider the methods of supplying ample pasture for stock this fall, says Pro- fessor W. ‘A. Henry. If there is any possibility of scant pastures from the Jieans already available, let one of the present grainfields be devoted to that purpose. , As soon as the grain crop is harvested let the land he prepared by plowing and reducing to the finest pos- FALL PASTU RES.
