BEST TIME TO .sOW ALFALFA, Despite some adverse criticism and the growing popularity of sweet .clov- er, alfalfa has a distinct place in Can- aeian agriculture. We have heard many complaints about not being able to get a catch, or if n catch was se- cured that after the first year or two the crop allied out, but when, these cases have' been investigated, it was found that the fault, lay not really with alfalfa, but with the man who was attempting to grow it. It is little .use trying to grow al- falfa that is not hardy. There are a great many varieties that give excel- lent results in the States that 'are not suitable for growing in 'Canada, Grimm's or the Ontario Variegated are the safest varieties to use. Even If the proper variety has been sown a good stand comet be expected if the soil is acid. Alfalfa like all other le- gumes •cannot stand sour soil. It the son is acid therefore it is useless sow- ing alfalfa until this conditioa has been corrected by the use of lime. The time of sowing is very important. Alfalfa may be sown on winter wheat In the early spring on the old snow. No harrowieg or cultivating is neces- sary, It may also be sown with a eurse crop. 'pelting may be reenlated by an ad - useable euntrol-board or gate.

How to Use Feeder, Place the feeder on n platform or neer that will remain clean during wet weather and prove accessible to the pigs at all times. !Provide shade at some sort, either trees or a rough tiled. While this system et feeding will prove relatively economical in dry lot feeding where green food, skim milk or water are supplied daily, he maximum efficiency will be reaeh- ed where the feeders are placed in a good clover or alfalfa pasture, In any case, dry lot or pasture, with or without milk products, fresh water hould always be supplied, preferably running, or from some self -watering device, regularly and frequently filled Young pigs from ten weeks of age onward may be safely and economica1. ly fed by this method. 'Until this age Is reached it is .generally wise to feed by band, although experiments have proved that even sacking !pigs may be benefited by' the feeder. Shoats of all ages, and in fact all classes of pigs to be finished quickly for market may be most. profitably "self -fed," Young breeding stock, similarly, is benefited provided the ration is one of bone and muscle -forming nature. In general, avoid self-feeding with aged sows, particularly as farrowing time approaches. The best time to sow alfalfa is about the middle of July, after the seed bed has been thoroughly prepar- ed by diseing and frequent oultiva- Bons.

Meals to Use in the Self -feeder. , From a mechanical standpoint prac- tinily any mixture ot Whole of ground grains or other mill -feeds may be successfully fed, Corn, for ex- ample, is frequently fed along with clover ov alfalfa pasture, for short finishing periods. For young pigs or shoats any of the following trations will be found suitable provided all hung are fairly finely ground: 1. Shorts, fine -ground, oats, fine ground barley or corn, equal parts, 2. Shorts 4 parts, any of the above grairis 4 parts, ground peas two parts. 3. Shorts or wheal 2 parts, barley 2 parts, peas 1 part. With any of the above rations fed to young pigs skim milk may be most profitably fed. 'Where such cannot an obtained the addition of tankage, Moat or blood meal is recommended, WORK Ole CANADIANS.

The self -feeder for pigs RAPE FOR THE FLOCK. . .As we -must look ahead in our farm- ing business in order to be able to cope with the many problems that the farmer is up against, it is necessary that we make preparation now for fall feeds for our stock. Tothis end our sheep, lambs and young- cattle stock deserve consideration so that their re- quirements for the fall months may be met. In order that they may be made ready for the market or fitted to go into winter quarters in good form, possibly there is nothing that can be sown that will give better re- sults than rape.

Wickedness of Abaz (vs. 14). 1. Ahaz-The twelith ruler of the kingdom of Judah. He succeeded bis father, *lethal% On the throne. Being twenty YearS Old. wlien he began to reign, he Was old enough to have observed the character or his father's administration, and to have Profited by it, but evidently he Paid UG heed to It. He Old not that which was right In the eight of the Lord - Ahaz was the most wicked king Judah had up to this time, He seems to have searched out ways in which he might sin against God. Li e vi / -David is referred to as an example of faithfulness and integrity. A - though be at one time tellinto griev- ous sins he heartily and deeply re- pented and was restored to the divine favor. 2. The ways of the kings ot Israel -The character and doings 02 Ahaz were like those of the kings ot Israel, who followed the evil example of Jeroboam "fo his record the author of Kings devotes one chapter (16), and the author of Chronicleseene (28), each containing some new Nea- ter, and also some matter common, to both. Both of his historians give hie history in the philosophical order; first, his great sins, and then their le- gitimate vaults; deteat, disaster, the destruction of his immense armies, the exhaustioo of his treasury by foreign exactions; the bringiag of Judah low to be decided, There can be little doubt, however, in a right environ- ment and under right conditions, many children, having a predisposition to- wards certain diseases, would escape them. A happy and healthy environ- ment will do much to increase a child's general well-being. Children are so often treated like little nuis- ances, always in the Way; or they are nagged at, or worried, or taught; or else pampered and coddled and waited on. All this tends, especially in sensitive children, to produce mor- bidness, nervousness and hyper -sensi- tiveness. Nervous strain is never with- out its effect on the whole system. I hus we find that over -sensitive and highly -strung children are quicker to contract minor ailments than the more normal type; and in the case of more serious disorders they are less likely to have any resisting power. No mat - should be the aim to give a, child the best chance of being normal. His genius, if he is to develop it, can have no sounder basis. It is an excellent plan, in arranging a child's nursery to have the largest room available, and having nothing within his reach that he may not be allowed to use and touch. Thus a great amount of "telling" and so-call- ed "naughtiness" is avoided. The only thing to be made clear to him is that he must alwaye discriminate be- tween his own and other people's rooms, Very soon after the ege of two he should be encouraged to do as much for himself • as possible. To carry plates and cups without upset- ting the contents; to climb up to his own chair, and not to expect to be lifted; to get what he wants instead of baying it brought to him; t� do lIP his own buttons and to put his own toys away. Ali this should be taught most gradually and playfully, and with no impatience at his mistakes; and his successes should for the most part be batten for granted. The concentra- tier necessary to the performance of these acts, and his interest in them, sow the seeds of a future which even In childhood will be fall of healthy in- terests and free from Inactivity and misebeevousness. The matter of clothing is one which does not receiVe nearly the attention that it should. All tight or heavy clothing is bad for children. eelurinner and winter, garments should be the fewest possible; light, warm, woolly combinations next the skin, and a blouse and knickers for boys -the knickers preferably !buttoned onto the blouse. And for girls a similar coni- bination under -garment, with knick- ers buttoned onto a little bodice, and a simple frock worn over them. .All sorts et variants in style and trim- ming can be adopted, but they should be on this principle. For extra warmth In very cold weather both boys and girls might wear noroolen jersey under the outer -garment. Children can be dressed in this fashion from the age oi two to eight. and with very little alter- ation up to twelve or thirteen. Children should always sleep with their window wide open. See that they keep covered warmly at night; some children have a habit of kicking off the bedelothes. Give them plenty of blankets and have the windows open summer and winter. Discourage Sleep- ing with the face covered. Snoring is a sign of faulty reepiration and pointto adenoide. Adenoids should never be neglected, as they are often the origin of bad health in thildren. Teeth should be carefully attended to, ana no decayed teeth be allowed to re- main in a child'e mouth. Food should be light, varied, flout- lehment,- not indigestible. It shoed al- so be taken at regular times. Children should not be encOuraged in fads and dadatinese, but, if a child shows gen- uthe entipatby to any form of food there is no reasoti why it should be forced on him; there is nearly always some subetitute. Milk is an eacellent food; most children take it as teeter - ally as water.

He system- atically framed mischief through, sac- rilege and idolatry. He could hardly have gone farther in defying the Lord God of his fathers in his outrageous, fanatical, unreasonable idolatry. He adopted a Measure that was full of iniquity, beyond all his predecessors. He renounced the true religion of Je- hovnh. He adopted the false worship Baal. He utilized all the idol sanc- tuaries of the land. He introduced the worship of Moloch. He sacreeleed to the gods of Daraascus.

He piesented promises which might have kindled hope and courage in the most despairing. Ahaz disregarded warn- ings written and proclaimed, warnings of conscience, and pyovidences of mercy. Ahaz was literally devoid of true religion. Not one redeeming fea- ture is found that can be placed to his credit. While Ahaz was a very great transgressor, he was also a very great aufferer. He received repeated caas- tisement front the hand of the Lord. II. Enslaved the people of God. The lengths to which Ahaz went wit'fiout Public opposition sbowed how far the nation had departed from God. They were pleased with changes adapted to their corrupt tastes. Since the divi- sion of the kingdom, Judah had been unfaithful to Jehovah in various re- spects. More than two centuries had elapsed since Judah began "to do evil in the sight of the Lord." With the introduction of Baal -worship luxury and effeminacy had crept in. Injustice and oppression had become rife. Dur- ing all that time Judah had maintain- ed her independence and had fallen., under no crushing affliction. There had even been seasons of prosperity. God's long-sufferiag mercy was ex- tended to them. The prosperity which the country had enjoyed under Uzziale continued and increased under the righteous reign of his son jotham. Be- fore Ahaz died all was changed. Ene- mies invaded the country until the land became desolate. Ahaz entered niore and more into alliance -with heathen powers. With him religion was a matter of diplomacy. He was ready to worship anything that was called a god except Jehovah. He had not been in sympathy with the wor- ship of Cod frem his earliest days - The great brazen altar, upon which the nation had offered sacrifices tor eenturies, was removed and another of its own malting was put in its place. He Improvised new sacrificial errangements. Ahaz directed first of 111 that his own offerings should be Made upon the new altar. His snort - Gees only added to the magnitude of his hypocrisy. Having erected a hea- then altar in the sanctuary of the Lord God of larael, other things nat- urally fqllowed. Por the wickedness of himself and people they were weakened in the power and humbled el spirit by foreign foes. Clod's people passed formally under the yoke ot Gentile conqueror. Ahaz committed robbery and sacrilege in orderto se- cure the help of a man who deceived and defrauded him. rnstead of helping Ahaz to become an independent sover- eign, Tiglath-pilaser made him a tributary to the Assyrian crown. Ahaz found that he had only exchanged one oppressor for another. Being weak- ened by his own questionable ways and not supported by the power of Clod. Ahea fell into the hands of the roreigner. Through his dark career 3f sin God had often sent warning, reproot and trouble, yet Ahaz pushed att in the face of many barriers to his own ruin and that of the nation.

RAISE A FALL LITTER OF PIGS? The present high prices for pigs should be an inducement to farmers .o raise two litters of pigs this year. Many farmers, we know, claim that they cannot profitably raise two lit, ters of p:gs a year; that the fall litter .is more trouble than it is worth, and that 12 18 a heavy drain upon the sow. Be this as it may, the fact remains that if pipe are given reasonable care and attention at farrowing time and well cared for during tlee first few weeks of their existence, they ean,„ be rr ised successfully With little loss and with profit to their owners. The pigs should come early in the tall -Sep- tember of October -so that they may be weaned and have attained a fair growth before the cold. weather sets :n. The earlier the pigs come in the :all they can run out On pasture for 3. lime and they will be stronger to teeal-stand the winter. The period of gestation for 'a sow is approximately 112 days, so that a sow bred some- where about the first week- in June would farrow about the end of Sep- tember. While in normal years most hog raisers do not tare to breed their sows before they are eight nonths old, this year with the pros- pects of high prices -and especially on account of food shortage -We think it good policy to breed young sows earlier than this, but the sows must be given good eare. There are thous- ands of young gilts farrowed last fall which might well be bred in June. By breeding them early this summer, the feed given will be more complete - :y utilized than it they.are not bred until they had become more fully ma- tured. Breeding young gilts should aave no bad efects, providing they are fed properly. Experiments have shown that the young pregnant sow contin- ues to grow under proper feeding and that the size of the litter 1s not ap- preciably reduced. Suoklieg the pigs retards the growth of the young saw but this permanent reterdation of growth Is small and of minor import- ance when the sow will produce a good litter of pigs. Large litters can usually be obtained by flushing the sows before breeding. This is done by feeding in such a way as to have sows putting on we:ght at the nine they are bred. The suckling sow should have her Nigs weaned- before being bred. tier udder should be completely dried t. p by a systematic reduction of feed. She should then be flushed and in a short time is ready to be bred. After breeding -the sow shOuld be watched to be sure she has caught. It she has not twenty-one days latet she win again show indications of heat and catt again be bred.

The manure from twenty-four steers averaging in weight close to 1,000 pounds each and running locse in two box stalls at the Experimental Sta- tion, Kentville, N. S., covering a per- iod of 120 days, or four months, weigh- ed 112 tons, 640 ponds. The average for each day was 1,872 pounds, or 78 pounds tor etteh steer. Straw bedding amounting to 10 pounds per steer per day was used and all liquids as well as the sonds were saved. Chemists tell us that this fres!' manure from fairly well-fed steers contains in eaoh. ton 7 3 4 pounds ni- trogen, 3,ee pounds of phosphoric acid and 9 pounds of potash. When buying commercial fertilizer we pay 26 cents per pound for nitrogen and 7 to 8 0, las for phosphoric acid, Potash can. ot be bought at any price, but in or- der to get at a fair•valuation for the the manure we should allow at least 5 tents per pound, the price of pOtash before the war. A ton of the above manure at these prices would, therefore, have a value of $2.63. At the valuation of $2.63 per ton, 112 tons, 140 pounds would be worth $295.40, or $12.31 per steer, a. little over $3.00 per steer per month. Con- sidering that potash will each year beeame a greater factor in economical agricultural production, the value is even greater than that given above. Nothing has been allowed in the above calculation for the value of the nutaus. :It Is estimated that humus value of manures is 50 to 100 Percent. ot the value of the chemical ingredi- ents, depending ippon the soil on v hick the manure is used and the tnenner of application. . It is a well known fact that half the total value of the excrement from live stock is in the urine. If the liquid is allowed to drain easy though holes in the stable floor, or otherwise, over one ealt of the value of the man- ure a :0 therefore -y et fort Should te made to conserve all the excrement voided ity animals. The water retained atter twenty- • four heets by 100 pounds of material used for stsorbents in the stable is estimated to be as follows: Wheat etraw, 220 pounds; Oat straw 286 pounds; well dried peat, 600 pounds; city sawdust. 435 pounds; erieri leavrs. 162 pounds. -The Canadian Countryman.
