Plan Two New Bridges at Niagara Niagara Falls, N,Y. — Engineers planned for two new archways link­ ing Canada and the United States in full view of the Niagara Falls, while the famous Falls View Bridge lay, a heap of twisted steel, across the bot­ tom of the ice-choked Niagara Gorge. While International Railway Com­ pany officials announced decision to replace the ruined “Honeymoon Bridge” immediately, Hon. T. B. Mc-> Questen, Ontario Minister of High- ways, said another bridge was plan­ ned by Ontario and New-York State, about 1,000 feet downstream from the Falls View site. jtxe i racie iNegouauons t, & Washington—State Secretary Cor­ dell Hull issued formal notice of the United States to negotiate a new trade agreement with Canada and a long list of articles which may be considered for tariff concessions.

As the weeks roll on, Parliament-will be' busy with a distinctive Canadian flag, Japanese fisherment on the Pacific Coast, the age of eligibility for old- age pensions, whether the Dominion should assume the full cost of direct relief, State medicine, naval reserves, methods of increasing purchasing power and tariff administration.

He may not get as high per­ centage hatch as later on, but even the hatchability of eggs is being con­ trolled by the feed. January chicks will cost more as eggs are higher priced to start with. Then it will take more fuel than with spring brooding. But there is more time for looking after the chicks; there may bd less disease and mortality; broilers will catch a high market, and pullets should be laying early in the fall or even late in summer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all their chicks z in January the higher prices for broilers and eggs would be wiped out, and chicks hatched at some other season would find the best market. Brooder houses unsuited for prolonged zero weather and the higher price of the chicks will limit the number going in for January chicks. Nevertheless there should be good returns for the few who do, and they .can prolong the use of their equipment, as those who have another batch in the spring so as to have pullets coming into pro­ duction at different seasons. January chicks will go on to range early, in the season, or they may be raised in­ doors. until ready for the laying pen. used of field roots as feed participating in four illegal operations late last .summer.

True Bill Against Father, No Bill Against Son London, Ont. — A true bill against the father and a no bill against the son were returned by the Grand Jury at the Winter Assizes in the indict­ ments against Dr. Charles Aylmer Cline, Sr., and his son, Dr. Charles Aylmer Cline, Jr, The 71-ycar-old fa­ ther is charged with the murder of Mary Wilkinson, London public school teacher.

HORSES Turnips and carrots arc the most commonly for horses. There is no question as to the value of field roots as feed for horses, a value which is too little ap­ preciated Roots are rarely sliced or pulped when fed to horses for the reason that the outstanding virtue in root feeding is the beneficial effect on the teeth and gums resulting from the necessary’biting into the whole root. The principle values of roots in the ration for horses are: 1. Increase palatability. 2. Form a succulent addition high­ ly desirable, forming as it does a food in the natural or unchanged form. 3. Assists in -or increases the di­ gestibility of coarse fodders. .4. 5. 6. 7. 100 lbs. of muriate of potash per acre may be considered an average dress­ ing, but frequently 200 pounds may be profitably -used. As a rule it will be found more advantageous to use potash with forms of nitrogen and phosphoric acid than alone and it is always advisable to try out the fer­ tilizer on a small scale before making large purchases. twice a year. The cuttings, which are allowed to remain under the trees, make an excellent mulch, which con- * serves moisture and keeps weeds down. -------- THE MEASUREMENT OF FUEL­ WOOD Fuelwood is sold by the cord or by the wagon box load. A standard cord is a pile of wood 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and S inches in length, giving a total volume of 128 cubic feet. The amount of solid wood in a cord var­ ies considerably. Crooked sticks, small diameter of the sticks, loose piling and prominent knots are com­ mon characteristics that reduce the volume of solid wood in a cord. It is custoniary in many localities to sell wood by .the short, face of run­ ning cord. A short cord of wood is a pile 4 feet high, 8 feet long and 12, 14 or 16 inches in width depending on the market requirements. A standard cord of 4 foot wood is equal to four cords of 12 inch wood or 3 cords of Id-inch wood, although a standard cord will seldom give 4 full cords of 12 inch wood because the shorter sticks pile closer. ALFALFA A VALUABLE CROP Apple growers have found that in order to get sufficient color and ma­ turity for the fruit, it is necessary to keep the orchard in sod, breaking up only at intervals of five or six years. And for this purpose the best crop to use is alfalfa. Alfalfa, being perennial in nature, remains in the ground year after year. Its roots penetrate the soil much deeper than those of the apple tree and, therefore, do not consume much of -the moisture supply available to the tree. Fruthermbre, the roots open up the soil, making it porous, there­ by allowing the air to penetrate the soil, which in turn stimulates bacter­ ial action. This plant is capable of taking nil- logen from the air and storing it in the roots as nitrate fertilizers -early in the spring, to promote rapid growth, and to stimulate blossoming. A crop of alfalfa is an extremely cheap source of nitrate supply.

These are: 1. Sheep that are free from ticks ;and lice grow more and better wool, i 2. A clean flock requires less feed .and ’is more easily kept in good con- (dtioin. .3. The lamb crop is stronger, ewes milk better, and lambs grow more rapidly. 4. Parasites are a source of seri­ ous (discomfort to sheep. The good shepherd should be mindful of the comfort of his flock. or con- THE USE OF POTASH It is the light, sandy and gravelly soils and muck soils that as a rule are markedly deficient in potash, and on which profitable returns may be expected from the application of this element. The rate of application will, of course, depend on a number of factors, chief among which are the character and fertility of the soil, and the nature of the crops to be grown. For most .grain crops an application of potash of 50 to 75 pounds per acre will be found sufficient. For slover and alfalfa these amounts might be doubled with profit.
