One of the advantages is that the land can be placed.. in first -claps condition early in spring with much lees labor than otherwise. It may be safely said that in nine years out of ten, crops planted early produce the most satis- factory yields. When plowing ie de- layed until SPring there is very often difficulty in preparing a proper seed bed, and instead of being busy fitting hie land for planting, the farmer is still plowing. Soils that are turned up and ex- posed to the frosts of whiter penetrate to a coosiderable depth; unplowed soils are not penetrated beyond half the distance by the frost as are those recently plowed. Especially in elay soil, it is import- ant to loosen the earth below the depth to Which the plow gem With grouad plowed thoroughly before frost, the soil will, after the arrival of freezing weather, be found frozen often to the depth of 20 inches. This Means that every particle to that depth is moved to a small extent. The expansion of the particlen of Moist- ure pushes apart and breaks up the most retentive soil. It has been demonstrated that when clay soil has been well drained it is inade friable to a considerable depth, and upon the arrival of spring the frost leaves the ground, and in 'consequence the soil becomes eo looee that air can penetrate to a great depth, and chemical action be prepar- ed for. Another important consideration is the destruction of insects. Land that (is plowed in the fall will be free of Cutworms and other ineecte which are injurious to young and tender plants ra the spring. •Some of the insects strive to reach la point below the frost line. Fall plow - ring turns up these insects, and, though ;they still are over by the soil, the 'ground is so locee about them that they freeze several times beforespring and are thus killed. This, however, will not entirely deetroy all the cut - Worms, but it will jessen their num- ber, and consequently lessen the dam- age done to plants. In the case of certain ineects which pase the immature stages in the ,ground, the larvae may be so deeply buried by plowing that they are un- able to reach the surface. In order that there may be a free drainage the furrows should run dir- ectly up and down hill by the short- est slope; if plowed across, the fur - wows will become filled and the land coaled with water. It May be well to nhovel the loose earth out of the dead Surrows forthe same purpose. If the 'ground is wet or undrained, plow nar- row lands. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. After weeks of severe drought and intense heat, pastures are so dry that they will furnish no pasturage until late In the fall, even with the aid of the usual late summer and early fall rains. The man who has much live stock on hand will find it necessary to provide temporary fall and whiter pasture. For this purpose there is no better erop than rye. Rye may be seeded any time during September or October on stubble land, or after corn has been cut for silage or fodder. A 'bushel and a half is enough for early 'sowing, but two bushels should be used later. Small fields of such cover crops furnish a great deal of pasture at little expense, and leave the soil in better condition than if they had not been grown. Vetch is • a legume which adds nitrogen, and the fine roots of rye protect the soil against washing, which is niore serious be tween growing seasons than most peo. ple realize. But vetch should not be sown early in September for good re- sults. Next spring the rye may be turned under as a grain -manuring crop before corn planting time. As a succulent feed for dairy cows, young steels and hogs, a 20 -ton crop of rutabagas is equivalent to a 124on crop of corn. With clover hay and oats they make a balanced ration. Twenty pounds of clover, fifty pounds of ruta- bagas and eix pounds of oats make an ample dairy ration for a cow giving 30 pounds of milk containing 4 per cent. of ).utter fat. From 16 to 20 tons of roots an acre is the average yield, on raanured land, So an acre yield on the se erage will provide 60 pounds eaily to each of three cows for seven or eight months. The roots may be stored in a cellar or root house, whieh saves the - expense of a silo. Dean Alfred Viviau, of the College of Agriculture, Ohio State University, Colbmbus, points out that a manure shed on every farm would prevent the manure losses to,a great extent. Sucb. a structure neea only have a. concrete floor and a covering which will pre- vent rains from reaching the manure as it does in the barnyard. It should be connected with the stables by a litter carrier. When the immure can- not be hauled directly to the fields its value will remain the same by storing. Manure handled in this manner has returned .as high at ;5 per ton in in- creased crop yields. Neither manure nor any combination of fertilizers has been able to produce a full yield of wheat -without the help of lime, said Director C. E, Thorne regarding the value of lime on soil similar to that of the Ohio Experiment Station. This year manured land yielded 21 to 26 per exhit. more wheat where lime was applied. Another plot fertilized with nitrate of soda. acid Phosphate and muriate of potash gave 21 per cent, more wheat whore limed than on unlimed soil einalarly fer- tilized. The yield on a plot receiving complete feetilizer with nitrogen in sulphate of ammonia gave 115 .per cent. increase in crop by application of lime: It is an opportune time to think about putting away well-seleeted seed DRS.

Such a practice will lead to the improvement of potato strains, and will largely prevent the "running out" of varieties, Whatever attention is given to hill selection of seed potatoes must obvibusly be given at the time of digging.. If this selec- tion is not resorted to, it will be found to be profitable at least to put aside a sufficient quantity of the best -typed, siteable tubers for seed. The selection of such tubers, even from the Link seed, will insure a harvest of better yield and typo than if Culls are planted. In preparing to fill the silo or build a silo, one should remember that an air -tight condition is necessary, and unless the hoops are kept tight and coat of paint applied, considerable silage will be spoiled. A cubic foot of silage weighs about 40 pounds. A 1,000 -pound steer will eat about a cubic foot per day, This is a gelid basis on which to caleulate the size of silo to build.

So far as the products of eiectro-ehent- !suer are concerned, It is found that the surgeon .and the doctor tools to electric Plants for chorloform and disinfeetants the cotton and the paper manufacturer need the bleaches produced by electricity; the user Of soap, Patronizes the electro- chemical establishment, as doe every user of matches. Goid and silver mining of the west requires electric products to assure a profit, and 11 18 only lately that the United States, out off from Re stiOPIY of German dyes, has found itself de- pendent upon electric products to supply the deficiency, in part at any rate. These are but a few of the industries dependent upon cheap electric power. Tho further .development in either Can- ada or the 'United States, or the inaugu- ration of such processes In Canada, is very la VIely, if not altogether dependent upon cheap available, dependable -power. The source of such power is admitted- ly, for a very large portion of our coun- try, water -power. The development of water -power in making available a sup- ply of cheap hydro-electrlo energy In various perts of the Dominion, would probably result in the reduction of the cost to the consumers of countless ar- ticles of every -day ,use, which, to the man on the street, are in no way as- sociated with hydro -electric development.

In the absence of chromium. tungsten, vanadium and molybdenum, all alloys made by electrical processes, the build- ers of American battleships and other weapons of national defence, and a large portion of our Canadian steel and metal- working industries and other industries, would be in the condition of twenty years ago. The electrical industry it- self is largely dependent upon silicon steel, a product that does not age and does not wear. The development of aeroplanes also calls for aluminum, and only with the abundant production of Cheap electric energy from water -power will the Mice of aluminum kitchen utensils come withon the reach of every housewife. At the outbreak of the war, we were cut off from the supply of Greek and Turkish emery. To -day the metal -work- ing industries of. this , country aee de- pendent almost entirely upon clectrie furnace abrasives, carborundum and alunclum. The manufacturer of agricul- tural machinery, locomotive, firearms, railing 'machinery, automobiles, and -eountless other metal products must have these abrasives, o,nd they can now be made only where waterpower is de- veloped cheaply. The electric turnace also turns out cal- cium carbide, the only source of acety- lene, which is being so extremely used In Canada. The oxy-acetylene flame has become of intense value in the welding of metals and the cuttin,g of steel, The same calcium carbide is the important factor in the fixtation of atmospheric nitrogen, and ie the source of supply upon which we may have to rely for nitric acid and nitrates employed in mak- ing munitions of war and fertilizers. All the artificial graphite used in the world to -day is produced at Nitkara Falls, by cheap waterpower. Its uses are manifold. Practically the whole supply of abrasives on this cootinent is from Niagara. Considering the products of electro- chemistry alone, chlorine stands out as of first importance. The sterilization of water suppli•ed of countless cities has been made possible by the use of bleach- ing powder or hypochlorite, and in com- munities where this is used extensively, typhoid has been largely eliminated. The armies of Europe use chlorine to avert I typhoid and other chlorine products, In - eluding chloroform, are used surgically,•I both as anesthetics and antiseptics. This same chlorine or bleach, makes pos. sible the manufacture of white cotton goods and white writing paper. Other products of chlorine, produced electrical- ly, entered into manufacture of soaps. Even. Into fire eXtinquishers goes this products of cheap electricity. To meet the shortage in coal -tar dyes, by the combination of chlorine with coal. tar benzon and tuluol, there is now be- ginning to be produced quantities or those necessary intermediates formerly made and exported from Germany. Metallic sodium, also a product of elec., tricity, is the basis for sodium peroxide which is used in igenerating oxygen for hospitals, for laboratoris, and for sub- marines and mine -rescue.. apparatus. It also enters Int° the manufacture of hydrogen peroxide. Without sodluin cyanide, many gold and silver mines could not possibly operate at .a profit. There are but a few of the products of every day time 'which will largely depend upon water -power. Many of these, a few ago, had no known value. What oth- er products remain to be developed with the grOWth of electricity, no oho can pre- dieth 'There can be no question regarding the fundamental and essential relation of water -power to the economic and In- dustrial situation in Canada.. 4'.
