That element is the small yield cow, and the she- steer that costs $40 or $50 a year for keep and returns her owner $25 to $35 for milk. Many a milk pro- ducer, with a. herd of thirty such cows, representing an investment of $1,000 or $1,200, is losing money re- gularly, and must lose as long as he insists on operating with such cows. He can invest his $1,200, in, say, twelve cows that cost $100 apiece, and these cows will give more milk than his 30 scrubs give him. He would save the feed of eighteen cows,`with all the hard labor and other costs of their keep, and he Dairi` ing in the United States, says` `would be in the way to make money. There is in sight no change in farm and market conditions that promises ever to put a prot into dairying carried on with cows that average 1,000 to 1,500 quarts of milk a head per annum, and producers` may as well open their eyes to this truth. The proposition to make milk with such cows is an absurdity, because it is proved beyond all possibility of doubt that they put more money in- to their milk than they can hope ever to get out of it when it is sold in the market. The student of milk production is surprised every day to observe what a large numberof herds he will nd that average less than 1,00 quarts of milk a head per annum. The owners of these herds say that they cannot aord better cows. The truth is that they can- not aord these cows. One cor- respondent says that last summer, in a tour of over 300 so-called dairy farms, he found less than twenty herds whose average yield was large enough to bring the cost of produc- tion inside of the net returns from their milk sold at the average price of the year. The twenty who own- ed these herds were making money. The other 280 owners_ were losing money on their small-yield herds. The lesson is plain, The conclusion is in- Inevitable. Several authorities on poultry matters have stated that women are the best chicken and egg raisers, simply because of the great care they -exercise. A farmer often fails to make his hens pay, but his wife is able to do so, and it is a fact that a large majority of successful pouI-- Htry keepers are women. The money which any woman may obtain from poultry and eggs will afford a sure incon_1e,`and buy many little extras for herself and -children, or will lay the foundations for a nice savings bank oaccount.

'iMr. Baldwin replied that he had seen a recent statement to the effect that one of the rs-published egg records, was of a Light Braham` hen that laid 214 eggs in. one year. 'He did not mean to 5:: that all breeds were equally goo layers; he had hisrown personal preference, but the most; important factor was. not the breed, but strain- e _ ~' ...,u-an, suuu laycfs; I personal preference, importatgt was. but stram. - Having secured" good birds and housed them well, the next essential is feed. `While liberal. feeding of layers is necessary, yet, when mov- ing into winter quarters, or especial- ly if changing their quarters, the fowls will sometimes go `off their feed, and, to guard against this, it is well to feed rather sparingly at that; stage. The ration should afterwards: be increased, and, as laying time ap-I gproaches, "give meat. Give also' green feed. such as mangels, cab- bages, beets, etc. He likes mangels best. He used to feed cabbages, but` thinks they sometimes upset the bowels, causing diarrho'ea.n As forl lsugar beets, the hens didn t like them so well as the mangels, the rea- son being that they are harder to pick. `Supplement the green food with clover chaff, from which they may pick the leaves- He uses a good deal of meat and cut bone, and likes the mash as a medium for giv- ing meat food.` His system of feed- ing is as follows: A feed of grain rst thing in t he,'morning-, then a mash about Io.o clock (containing a good dealof meat, as a rule)`: in the.middle of the day a handful of grain is thrown in the litter to keep . them busy, and at 4.30 agood heavy ` feed of grain is given. The above old and muchworn, but yet seasonable and perennially interesting, subject was discussed at the Ontario Winter Fair by L. H. Baldwin, of Deer Park, Toronto, Ont. His rst point was housing. Build your poultry house, early in the season, and have the roof on in July. He had yet to see a henhouse built in the fall of the year in which there was not a dampness, arising, `prc- sumably, from the ground.-;;,.In the autumn, when rst bringing 5the fowl into winter quarters, keep t `e wind- ows open and give plenty fresh air, in order to ward off fffiuenza. Thus accustomed to airy uarters, `they will be provided by nature with a good protecting coat of feathers, the same as in the case of a horse or `cow not too closely stabled in the ..n ` I For a general purpbse fowl there` are none better than those found "in the American and Asiatic classes, and, for preference, Light Brahmas, White Wyandottes, and Barred Rocks, as these birds include choice 'eating and protable winter laying birds. ~ BK! VV fall. ` Regarding care and feeding, he `urged the selection of a liberal num- ,ber of layers, so as to admit of the 1subsequent culling out of birds iwhich show lack of development, iconstitutional weakness or other de- fects. Aim to get well-developed birds with vigorous constitutions. "There are always plenty of peo- ple ready to laugh at poultry schem- es, and to tell you of -failures which they or their friends have experienc- ed. It will ever be so. Do not, how- ever, all w the whims and advice of such pe ple to hurt your feelings. Keep your own counsel, and work out your own affairs, but don t go in for boasting. Don t get into the "way of thinking that you know all about poultry, and do not be above looking in a poultry book or your paper for advice- Don't be led into the idea that poultry farming re-` quires no brains; it wants a lot, and? the pmore you have the better.

It has been a determined pull. All the way up Hanlan has passed every signal buoy first, but Courtney has been ahead midway between these buoys. Is it possil:Le that Hanlan is simply feeling his man and endea- voring to make him lose his streng- th? If so he is mistaken, for, im- mediately after the turn the men are even again. The press boat has followed them to near `Dorval, and on the return they pass it like a flash. It is again evident that both men are going at a winning speed. Hanlan would win at this rate if pitted against any man but Court- ney; Courtney against any man but Hanlan. Both are doing their ut- most; both are cool and in dead `earnest. There is no sign'of give out in either man. This race is to be run to the bitter end. Just oppo- site the press boat the nose of Court- ney s shell is a few inches ahead of his rival s. Mrs. Hanlan is terribly excited, but waves her handkerchief to her husband, who she knows will win. He sees her and puts a little more vigor into his stroke, although keeping it at the same speed, and draws ahead of Courtney as if the race were entirely in his own hands, and he wanted to show it. . . .At the three-and-a-half-mile buoy Courtney was pulling 31 and Hanlan 30. Both men watch each other closely. At the four miles both men quicken their rowing. Courtney with a stroke of 34, and Hanlan one of 31, with the current in their favor, the speed was grand. As they dart along those on the shore cheer and cheer. As the boats passed Courtney s quarters he receives a tremendous cheer, but seems too much intent on his work to notice it. For a time the men row stroke and stroke. But it is {not for long. They are on the last mile now and Courtney is rowing 35. Hanlan, for the first time, does not seem to be doing so well, and ap- pears to pull with much less streng- th than before. `But at the four and a half mile he is still ahead, and lseems fresh again, and pulls as beautifully as can be conceived. The men are within three hundred yards of home and Hanlan quickens his` stroke to 32; Courtney is pulling 34 still. The steering has been beauti- fulpall the way, but now Courtney is crowding in on his rival. Their oars nearly lock. They are almost on the judges -barge, and from be- hind it is difficult to say which is leading, and it seems possible that it will be a dead heat. But the Can- adian is seen to turn his boat, and it shoots in front of the American s hovv, and it is evident tlnt he has won by a length, coming in to the tune. of 32, while Courtney is 1'.-wing 33.
