not grains, but crumba-composites
consisting of tens, hundreds and oven
thousands of individual or Eimple
grains, held together partly by cement-
ing materials in the 'soils and partly

- Theorganic„ matter in a Soil, teld
medially the huraus, acts as a sponge
would act. Its relative capacity for
holding water is considerably greater
than that of the mineral matter, as
may have been observed, Hence the
importance of returning to our soils,
especially to our 'teams, clays and
sandy soils as inueh of tlie roughage
of the farm as possible, and hence,
also, the importance of following a
careful rotation which shall result in
part in an abundance of root material
In the sub -soil,
Good applications of barnyard man-
ure increase the water -holding rower
of soils.
In a mellow earth each crumb be-
coznes a reservoir filled with food -
laden moisture, and through tho open-
ings or archways %separating these
crumb masses from each other tbe
roots of plants may readily travel, thus
finding ready access to the moisture
and food stored in the crumbs.
The really productive soils are those
Possessing the mellowness found in
our virgin solis, and they possess it
.because, proper methods are employed
in their tillege These include a proper
rotation of crops, the incorporating of
an abundance of organic matter in the
soli, and the wise use of tools.
Nature, left to herself, provides a
crop, and usually a rotation, for the
soil, in which:
1. The soil is filled with roots --often
perennial roots which, with frost ac-
tion, develop the crumbed and mellow
or arched structure.
2, The bulk of the growth is return-
ed to build up and enrich the ion. Bees
may remove the eiectares, birds zaay
remove the seeds, and grazing animals
may crop off the grasses, but after
all the roughage with much the
fertilizing material iS returned to the
soil The wise fernier protits by the
object leszon
Nature, however, has need of no
other tools than the roots and the
frosts and the multitude of animal
forms winch burrow in the soil -earth
worme, ants, etc. The farmer must use
the plow, harrow, roller and other
tools With the proper moisture con-
ditions these tools may be made to
help develop the mellow condition
sought. Every farmer should learn to
recognize this proper moisture ("midi -
tion and, to appreciate its importance.
If the soil be too wet the use of these
tools may prove injurious rather than
helpful. If a cultivated, soil be allowed
to become over dry, the drying often
produces a degree of compacting
that the use of these tools cannot over:
come.

Following are some useful remedies
for sick animals, .recommended by a
high authority: •
Alcohol, whisky, brandy. -Doses
from 1 to 4 ounces, depending on size
and age. Should be largely diluted
with water. Good for chillsa depres-
.slon and collapse, or when the animal
1s very weak.
Alum -Horses, 1 dram; cattle, 3
Okras; sheep, half dram* pigs, tiler -
ter dram. 'Used for diarrlima. In'sot-
ution used for sore mouth.
• Bor40. Acid.-Nonspoieonous antisep-
tic. Used for sore mouth, sere, eyes;
reap and to inject into udder. :Used
In solution, 20 grains to 1 Ounce of
water. ,
Calomel. -Horses, half to one dram;
cattle,one to two drams; sheep and
pigs, 5 te 20 grains. General purga-
tive, and used to expel worms. Ex-
ternally dusted in old sores to dry up
and heal them..
Cearbolic Acid. -Use as an antiseptic
to hasten beating of wounds or sores;
also as a disinfeetant. Diesolve one
part of Field in thirty parts of water.

Calves are usually fed whole milk

of olaanging begin to feed a little

necessary to use oil meal or any other
high-priced feed, high in protein, or

SlTEEZING.
Nature's Attempt to Ificl You of
a Cold.
•
: Sneezing is not a eomphtint, but an
effort on the part of nature to get rid
of a, complaint. It may be due to any
one of a -number' of causes. Dust, the
Pollen 01 plants, a draught of cold air
on a too -warm exposed eurfaee of the
body will :excite the sternutatory
spasm. Bright ligha will cause many
persons to sneeze; while gazing at the
Clear, blue sky Wifl cause the nasal
convulsions in many cases.
When you begin to contract one of
the varieus conditims . commonly
bunched under the general name of "a
cold," the sneezing is dee to an at-
tempt of . nature to cum you. The
sneeze may expel the dust or the
pollen which is causing the irritation.
But it does more than that. Nature
is making you sneeze for the same
purpose that she Ina -ices you shudder -
sheds attempting to generate heat for
raising the temperature of the body
and preventing you from taking cold.
Xou do not sneeze with the nose alone,
but with the entire body. During the
act about every inuecle in the body
glees a little jump, and the, combined
effect of all this energy of motion is
to warm the entire system. A shiver
does the sante thing -it spasmedically
contracts all the muscles and so raises
the temperature.
But sneezing Is net always effiea-
cloue in curing one. It is worth while
to know that one can 'help nature
aloiletvhen she gives one this warning,
and also stop the spasm or sneezing by
a few deep breathinr, exercises. Try it
the next time. Step' tale:fill your

haps avoid a mica -Cleveland Vain.

Ottawa, Dec, 30. -His Excellency
the tioveinor-General as president of
the Canadian Patriotic Fund has is-
sued the following Ncsv Year's Appeal
on behalf of the Fund:
Twice His Royal Higanfess the Duke
of Connaught appealed to the people
of Canada. in support of the 'Canadian
Petriotic Fund. The prompt and gen-
erous•reeponse on each oceasIon proves
how truly Canada appreciates the debt
which she owes to her sons who are
fighting for the Empire. Heavy as the
sacrifices have already been, the Dom-
inion is as determined as ever to carry
the war to a successtul conclusion and,
however onerous the burden may be,
she is equally determined W help the
families o'f those who are serving in
the army and in the navy. The ad-
ministratioa et the fund has been
most successfel and economic and sub-
ecribers can be fully assured that their
contributions are being expended to
the best advantage.
Fifty-fivethousand families, compri-
sing one hundred and fatty thoueand
individuals,' are today dependent up-
on the fund and it is estimated, that
twelve million five hundred thousand
dollars will be required to meet the
requirements of the next twelve
months.
The slim is a large one but when the
circumstances are fully realized I ani
confident that the people of' Caned
will 'willingly Contribute, the amount
necessary for the fund to.dentiaue its
Patriotic and ben.eficont work.
