So if children escape any child's disease they are the gainers in general health by just that much. It may be that years are added to their lives or chronic invalidism avoided. Then there is; the enormous risk which every child runs who has measles, whooping co.1.7gh, scarlet kAlyex diseases. • Perhaps this does not agree with your idea of letting your children have these ailments when young, with the belief that they must have them some time. This old idea has cost many thousands of lives. It is time to forget it, and to put forth an effort to jtave the children from these. ailments. All these children's diseases are known as germ diseases, and germs are harmless to a body strong enough to fight them. Rich blood is the greatest -of germicides. Therefore, seek–to keep your children's blood rich and pure by giving them whole- some, nourishing food, and by allowing thenilto exeretse freely in the open air. If they grow pale and weak and languid --if they faitto derive proper nourishment from the foqd they eat—if their nervous systems get run down from the tax of .school work—use Dr. Chase's Nellie Food as the best means -which medical science affords to enrich the blood and build up the exhausted system. ChgAivezt whose blood becomes thin and watery are helpless before an attack of measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, or other contagious disease.. •_They seem to "catch" everything that is gOing.. They are always "catching" cold. Their resist- ing force is nil. But their young bodies soon respond to the nourishing, invigorating influence of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, . 'As their blood is enriched they become healthy, robust and rollicking --they enjoy their food— their play—their work at school, and grow into strong, 1psaigly wan kid women.

Dr. Macklin, of Goderich, has been appointed medical representative for the Dept. of Soldiers' Civil Re-estab- lishinent for the town of thxlerich. As Bert Vodden was driving three loose hore,es through Ethel recently, one, which was blind, ran against the end of a wagon tongue opposite P.O., the team being driven by Cecil Bate- man. The tongue severed the jugular vein, and the blood flowed so rapidly that death wee tihnost instantaneous. Mr. Vodden valued the animal at. $150. Mr. D. Cantelon, of Clinton, during the month of April bought 534 hogs, for which he paid over $:23,000: The largest .one was, delivered by Mr. A. Neal. It wt ighed 600 pounds and brought its owner $111.

WARNING TO FARMERS Mengel seed samples, containing seeds of Field Bindweed or Wild Morning Glory in considerable numbers, have recently been received at the Ottawa Seed Laboratory. Field Bindweed is probably the most persistent and ob- jectionable of the seeds classed as nox ions tinder the Seed, Centro! Act. Fuz tunately it is not widespread in Canada, but once established it is most difficult Lo eradicate and very destructive to crops. Field Bindweed seeds are seldom preseut in Canadian grown commercial seed, but they are occasionally- found in imported seed, particularly in beet and mange'. All stocks of these seeds should be very carefully examined before sowing, and every Field Bindweed seed present removed by screening or handpicking. The seed closely resembles that of ordi- nary Morning Glory. They are liable to appear either as separate seeds or a few together in a seed ball. Farmers cannot be ton careful in guarding against this menace. Seed Branch. Ottawa. Ex -warden Alex McCannell, of Saugeen, is being spoken of as the U.

(Contributed by Ontarlo Department of Agriculture. ,Teriantos) 0 FFICIALS of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture in- epected 313 seed npotato tields in Northern „Ontario last year of 278 acres, and 119 fields qualified for certified seed. It is esti- mated that there were 16,000 bushels of certified seed secured froin.North- ern Ontario. All of this is 'being s(har hii:p4p;edlie Old Ontario to be planted- . The survey , which .was made laid ysar by inspectors ro deteCt diseases in the pctatees was spread over 32 essunties, although the reports frtITY1 tour of that number are not included in the statistics because of irregulari- ties in the work. The territory cover- ed was from Northumberland and Peterborough .counties west to Essex not including Simcoe and Victoria. It was found f n this survey that an average of 15 per ewe. of the pota- toes had the most serious disease of Leaf Roll, and that 7 per cent. were affected with Mosaic, a total of 22 Per cent affected by disease. An in- . teresting fact revealed bysthe survey is that the diseases are most common along the shores of Lake Ontario, through Dufferin and Wellington counties, and along the shoSe of Lake Erie through to, Essex county. Far- ther. north the 'percentage of disease is ninth smaller. While, the average for the two diseases is 22 per cent., some of the counties showed a much higher rate, as Haldimand 29, Wel- land 61.7, Lincoln 33.5, Wentworth 26.6, Brant 44.8, Halton 32.1, Peel 51.9 and York 25.4. The standard in tilis province permits of two per cent. Leaf R011 in No. 1 seed and 5 per cent. in - No. 2. ln severe Mosaic the percentage is the seine, although in slight Mosaic the figures are doubled. . The cause of these diseases is not known. Whether there IS some or- ganism, or whether the climate has something to do with them, is a matter of doubt: Prof. P. A. Murphy, of Charlottetown, who is the Chief, Pathologist for potatoes for the Dom- inion, and who is attached to the Central- Experimental Farm, is at work on this probletn, and it is hoped that before many months the cause will be known. At any rate, it is known that the diseases are more common in potatoes in the Southern States. That is why it is expected Ontario seed potatoes will be in de- mand there -in -a lew years. Leading Varieties of Spring Grain. The old Six -rowed barley gave way to the Mandscheurl, and that in turn has given place to the O.A.C. No. 21, which is now grown throughout On- tario to the exclusion of practically all other varieties. The Egyptian and the Black Tartarian varieties of oats which were .popular at one lintel have been largely displaced by the Banner and more recently by the 0.A.C. No. 72 and the O.A.C. No. 3 varieties. The O.A.C. No. 72 variety has a com- paratively strong vigorous straw, spreading head, and white grain of good quality, the hull being quite thin. In experiments at the Ontario Agricultural College it his surpatsed the Banner in yield per acre in each of nine out of ten years. It has made a phenomenal record in connection with the Ontario Standing Field Crop Competitions, taking more first prizes than all other varieties of oats com- bined. The O.A.C. Nos 3 variety is ten days earlier than the Banner or the 0.A.C. No. 72, anti is an excellent variety for mixing with barley when it is desirable to grow the two in combination. Of the spring wheats the Red Fife, the Marquis and the Wild Goose are the principal varie- deal. At the present time, however, when the demand.for wheat for bread production is so urgent the Marquis and the Red Fife, and Specially the former, should be grown as eaten-. sively as pcissible-in Ontario. Spring rye does not yield equal to Winter rye but its cultivation will perhaps be increased somewhat during the present year. The 0.A.C. No. 61 variety has given the best results, surpassing all other kinds in yield of grain per acre.—Dr. C. A. Zavits, 0. A. College, Guelph. Prepare for spring Spraying. Efficient and economic spraying is hard to attain with the use of poor machinery. The power sprayer. is an expensive piece of machinery, but it is effective when properly handled. Its usefulness can be greatly impair- ed by improper care. To secure the highest degree of efficiency In spray- ing the maintenance of high pressure is necessary. Probably high pressure is pot needed in all cases; it is, how- ever, true that by means' of it more thorough and, consequently, more ef- fective work can be done In a much shorter time and with much less effort. The agitation of the liquid In the tank is another important matter -In the case of most sprays, the individ- ual particles that make up the in- secticide are suspeaded in the water. Unless the sprayer is equipped with a good agitator, these particles will settle to the bottoni, rendering the mixture in the top of the tank weak- er than it should be, and that in the bottom stronger, and possibly in some cases too strong for safe appli- eation. it ie-iseed-tess t -o say of apritirnig machinery should never be neglected. Indeed, the spraying outfit should never be put away af- ter using until the niixture is thor- oughly cleared out from all parts of the -pump, rod, piping, hose and noz- zles by running dear water through them. The water should be drained from the engine, and all parts clean- ed and *Had. —Pref. Jno.Evaas, 9. 4, Collage.
