BUSINESS BITS. 
Enlarging the Erie Canal. 
I am a farmer living on the canal 60 
miles from Buffalo, having nearly 200 
acres with 40 acres of fruit, and I say 
local farmers will be benefited by canal 
improvement. Here are some of my rea¬ 
sons: If the canal Is changed into a ship 
canal Buffalo, combined with the other 
cities near, will make the largest manu¬ 
facturing city in the world, and will make 
a market for everything the farmer raises. 
We are changing from grain to garden 
crops by the wholesale all over western 
New York, combining them with dairying, 
poultry and egg raising. More cabbage is 
being grown here now than any other 
crop, and tomatoes, potatoes and onions 
are crowding out such crops as the West 
is pushing us out of. Our land has grown 
more productive, and seems to be profit¬ 
able, as it is nearly double in price per 
acre what it was when we raised wheat, 
steers, etc. All such crops have to have 
a ready market to make them profitable, 
and we can’t have it at the rate we are 
increasing the amount raised if we do not 
make a city filled with laboring men right 
at our door. The only way we can do 
this is to build a cheap waterway across 
the center of our State, so the manufac¬ 
turers can ship their goods to the mar¬ 
kets of the world. They in turn will em¬ 
ploy help that will eat our cabbage, ap¬ 
ples, etc., and be able to pay us living 
prices. s. allis.

Reports from South Africa state that 
considerable progress is being made toward 
remedying the upset condition in which the 
agricultural interests of the country were 
left by the war. It is said that 9,000 Boer 
families have been re-settled on their 
farms, and are being helped to make a 
start. The greatest difficulty is in securing 
enough cattle and horses. Transvaal im¬ 
ports during the first four months of this 
year included machinery, $3,350,000; wear¬ 
ing apparel, $1,900,000; grain and flour, $750,- 
000; dairy products, $560,000; other provi¬ 
sions, $1,800,000; manufactured leather, $625,-

The cutter head used exclusively in the 
Gale-Baldwin silage and feed cutters is 
said to have special merit and requires 
comparatively little power. This imple¬ 
ment is a product of the well-known Bel¬ 
cher & Taylor Agricultural Tool Co., Chic¬ 
opee Falls, Mass. Those of our readers 
who are interested in this line of farm ma¬ 
chinery should write for catalogues which 
will give full information. 
One of the greatest helps In the inex¬ 
pensive construction of poultry houses is 
found in the modern felt papers, which are 
so widely used for roofing and siding. An 
article of this kind which deserves more 
than passing mention is Swan’s extra 
heavy felt for roofing, lining, covering, etc. 
By using this material’ the structural work 
of a poultry house may consist of the 
cheapest material, and yet be substantial 
and comfortable when entirely covered 
with Swan’s felt. It is equally valuable 
and effective in such buildings as sheep 
sheds, milking sheds, hothouses, tobacco 
sheds, etc. Let all who are interested in 
articles of this kind, write the A. F. Swan 
Co.. 110-116 Nassau St., New York, for a 
copy of their free booklet on construction 
of poultry houses. 
Can Be Applied During the Hottest Weather, 
NOTE OUR CLAIM :—“ IT IS INFALLIBLE.” 
Let there be no mistake or misunderstanding as to 
this point. It makes no difference how long stand¬ 
ing, wnat the condition, or if all other known treat¬ 
ment has failed, this remedy will positively effect a 
cure. This statement will appear absurd to the 
sceptic, but It Is absolute and inviolable truth, and 
we put It in no stronger words than facts, actual ex- 
pa rie nee—results—confirm It contains the great es¬ 
sential principle to promote the complex process of 
absorption. It will raise a scurf or mild blister, but 
it Is not by blistering a cure is effected. The great 
potency of * Save-tUe-Horse” lies in its concen¬ 
trated penetrating absorptive power. It penetrates 
to the seat of tue injury or disease, produces a 
physiological change, absorbing all Inflammatory 
exudate or deposit, stimulating and diffusing vital¬ 
ity and strength to the tissues and ligaments, pro¬ 
ducing a healthy, normal condition of the part. Can 
be applied during the hottest weather.
