MANURING LAND FOR ROOTS. The labor involved In growing roots for live stock stands in the way of a big acreage on TOost farms. As the crop is a heavy feeder it pays weU to supply a generous amount of fertil- izer. With rich land a heavy tonnsgs may be harvested from a compar- atively small area. Fortunately heavy manuring for this crop Is not all taken up by It but considerable Is left in the ground for the use of succeeding By Automobiie For the Movies Adventures of Party of Camerar Men in Big Game Quest GOOD FORTUNE Four Hours Within 70 Feet of King of the Forest Taking moving pictures of lions from an automobile Is an ezcttlng pas- tlms, graphically described by Hon. 4 $ ..,.,... m If 1 v»^,-*:vv'> m§ 'M w ']^f. - ' "•â-  t;.' ^^^^il' ;,'* '- Czar's Crown Jswels Perhaps the baubles of this bejawel led crown of the Ill-fated Romanoffs ^J*** »•' •»« '^« reason for this, luch orop» And not only that, but the soil , Denys Finch Hatton.

The "Sugar Jack" pi-ocisss i.i a me- thod recently put on the rnarl;et for the utilization of dry, coarse and un- palatable forage. It is an ensiling P'ocesc in which a Bo-called "con- verter," the .Sugar Jack Converter is used to noi.sten the dry forage be- fore it is plaied in thu pres-s or small silo. An experimental Investigation of this pioress has been mude liy the Animal Ilnxliandiy Division at the Cepl'ul K^rpfiniontal Farm and the re-iiilt* pul lished in a r»w bulletin entitletl "The Conversion of Dry RoughK>;e into n Siicrulont Feed."

MARKING HOGS FOR GRADING Hog raisers located far from mar- keting centres have not received the bemeflts of hog grading to nearly the same extent as those living ck«e to the stock .yards.
