production Is safer and more profitable on a © large place.: * Hogpens may be of the most inexpensive kind, but they must he keépt clean.They need to be proof against drafts and storms.Clann premises also are essential in Two or three acres of rape and an acre of artichokes will provide practically all the fodder required by twenty-five pigs from weaning till fattening time.If a supply of skimmilk or whey is available it will pay to use it, and a light ration of corn or peas once a day will be a belp, The rape and art chokes may be depended on to bring the animals on at a fair rate of growth all summer.Liberal feeding of corn for three or four weeks before marketing will assist weight and quality of flesh.Any amateur can grow the crops named and manage a drove of pigs.There is a distinct public demand for the meat of lightweight hogs ranging from 200 to 300 pounds, The most profitable pork Is that grown in eight to ten months, or from April to De cember, so that there is little winter feeding, and most of the growth is obtained from field forage.Perbaps as good a plan as any Is to market twenty out of twenty-five hogs late in the fall and carry over the remaining five until they are sifteen to eighteen months old.The bacon market calls for the larger animal, and prices are apt to be higher in the late winter months than in the fall.All the breeds of hogs have thelr advocates.For general purposes nothing is better than to use dams of Chester White, Tamworth or Duroc type, crossed with males of the Poland- China or Berkshire variety.This kind of breeding will give large litters and good sized animals.In this country the most popular breed has been the Poland-China.Thuis breed has many good characteristics.It is a rapid grower, makes good use of food supplied and can be kept ready for market at any time, either as a sucker, porker or bacoper.The litters are rather small, however, and for this reason, as well as to get a more rangy animal for general purposes, farmers are disposed to cross the breeds.The selection of the male Is of great importance, as be directly influences every pig one may have to fatten, and it depends on his breeding very largely whether or not the pigs can make profitable use of the food given them.As In the case of all sires, the male should be pure bred, of approved strain, both with regard to capacity to put on flesh\u2019 rapidly and to influence the sow in the production of large Îit- ters, The dam need not necessarily be pure bred, provided she is of a good type.She should be selected from a prolific mother, as fecundity is hereditary.The teats should number at least twelve, fully developed, set well apart, even In size, and the front teats well forward on the body.The num ber of teats does not indicate always the pumber of pigs she ls likely tc have.Sometimes sows with ten or eleven teats wlll have large litters.Whether on range or In pen, hogs should have a medicinal ration made up as follows: One pound each of wood charcoal, sulphur, salt, baking soda and sulphide of antimony.Pul verize and mix thoroughly.Use a tablespoonful dally for each pig from the time they are old enough to run in \u2018the field.Add a tablespoonful of bone meal for each animal and mix the whole lot with enough moistened meal or brap to make a palatable mess.Clean water and shad are essentials, Dipping also is ndvisdble.in cases of sickness keep those affected away from the sound ones and take prompt action to prevent the spread of disease.Whitewash.The following formula for whitewash bas been recommended by the United States department of agriculture: Take half a bushel of unslaked lime, slake it with boiling water and cover during the process to keep in steam.Strain the lguid through a fine sieve or strainer and add to it a peck of salt previously dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a tbin paste and stirred in while bot, half a pound of Spanish whiting and one pound of clean glue previously dissolved by soaking ln cold water and then hanging over a slow fire in a small pot bung In a larger one filled with water.Add five gallons of bot water to the mixture, stir well and let it stand n few days covered from dirt.{t should be applied bot, for which purpose it can be kept in a kettle or a portable furnace.Coloring matter may be ndded as desired.Where a less durable whitewash will answer the above may be inudified by leaving out the whiting and glue, \u2014 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 .Improving

at Toronto, \u2018which was attended by mary leading men from all parts of Canada, Is one of the most eminent of tha practical geologists of Cancda.He has been prominent in exploraticn work in ihe coal mines of th- Canadian Atlantic coast, the silver mines of Ontario, and the gold mines of the Britist Columbia Koote- nay.Mr.Miller graduated from Toronto University and accepted a posi- tiou ns assistant in field geology in the Canadian geological survey, and later accepted a position as lecturer in geology and petrograpby, at Queen\u2019s University.Later * « was promoted to a professorship and, eleven years ago, was appo.nted provincial glologist and inspector of mines fo: Ontarlo.He had already, while at Queen's, done usefyl geologica work for the provincial geological department, im charge of Eastern Ontario field work for tie Bureau of Minea.Mr.Miller's success has beeu due to his efforts to make his geological Investigations of practical value to prospectors and miners, Lolding that the geologist Is merely the scientific explorer and guide for the prospector and miner.He was born in the Township of North Walsingham, County of Norfolk, and educated at Port Rowan High School, before going to Toronto University, where he took his B.A.with first class honors \u2018fn natural science, and later his M.A, Subsequently he studied at the Universities of Chicago, Harvard and Heidelberg, Queen\u2019s University, Kingston conferred upon him the honorary degree of LL.D.He is algo an F.R.S.G.and an honorary member of the Institute of Mining and Metal- turgy.He was president of the Cana- dlan Mining Institute for two years and a delegate to the International Geological Congress at Mexico.He is the author of Minerals and How They Occur,\u201d and of papers on geological and mining subjects in several perlo- dlcals and in the annual reports of the Bureau of Mines, He was ap- painted a governor of Kingston School of Mining three years ago.Chesterfield in Montreal Star.Canadian Peaches.Large consignments of Ontario pcaches have again been made to the British markets t\u201cis year.The favorable reception accorred to Ontario's fruit bas created considerable Interest among the peach-growers In the province, and the export trade bears every sign of reaching large proportions.Maturing as it does about Ce- tober, the Ontario crop reaches to .Great Britain In between the South African, English and French peach seasgns.So far us Ontario.is concerned\u2019 this export trade ls an cx- extremely important factor.In the early days, when there was only the local market to supply, the area get to peaches was restricted.Later, lyf when tbe markets of the west were Hey d, tho supply was f und insuff- 4 ent, with the résul* hat further > l£nds were put under crop.At one time it wes commenly supposed that the lands on which peaches could be profitably raised were confineu to the Niagara district, and th) land bordering the lakes, When a few years ! ago the first shipments were made to Great Britain, the growers found they could make far larger profits, and each successive years there has heen t rush to join this profitable business.| The experimenters gor fo work, and found out that many areas which , were not consider d guitable for the i ¢ itivations of peaches have turnod | out to be satisfactory In every re- ' gpect.There I8 every prospect that the reach area will be very much widaned in the fu.ure.West's First Flax Factory.| The appalling waste of valuable flax fibre each year is emphasized in the statemeut that, in 1913, the flax fields of the West bave produced over two million tons of flax straw, representing four bundred thousand tons of fibre, and that all of this wealth of raw matcrial 1s now In ashes and scattered to the four corners of those broad western plaips.i There i8, however, one little spot on the plaipe w*ere flax straw i8 not regarded as rubbish, to be burned and got rid of as soon as tbe harvest is over.Away southwest of Saskatoon, on the Gocse Lake branch of the Canadian Northern, ut the bright lt- tle town\u2018 of Rosetown, flax straw is being used for purposes of manufacture in the first flax factory to be established anywhere in Western Canada.\u2014Norman Lambert in industrial Canada.The Freshman*s Error.Alexander Grant Brown, B.A., M.A.(Oxon), is a lecturer in Anclent and Modern History in
