Last fall this gentleman bought on the market CO head of lean cattle, which he fed during the winter. This spring they came out in fine condition, and a few weeks ago he sold them, realizing a net profit of 81,850 or noarly HO per , head. In counting the cost the value of the provender wan not included, as ,' by feeding it on tho farm tho i>roiluo- .' tive powers of the land wore preserved. This is no doubt an exceptional case, but it shows what the possibilitioM of intelligent farming are. Stock raising ' and cheese and butter making are bringing millions of foreign money in to Ontario and Quebec, and the buni- ness will develop vastly if our farmers get out of the old rut and adapt them selves to the now conditions.
