Feer Colds, Catarrh or Influenzd, fl Do you feel weak and unequal to the -work ahead of you? Do you still cough s, little, or does your nose bother you? Are you pale? Is your blood thin and watery? Better put your body into shape. Build strongl An old, reliable blood -maker and herbal tonic made from wild roots and barks, is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This "nature remedy" comes in tablet or liquid form. It will build up your body, cure your cold, and protect you from disease germs which lurk every- where. One of the active ingredients of this temperance alterative and tonic is wild cherry bark with stillingia, which is so good for the lungs and for !coughs; also Oregon grape root, blood root, stone root, Queen's root, — all skilfully ornbinect in the Medical Discovery. These roots have a direct action on the ...stomach, improving digestion and assimi- lation. These herbal extracts in the `Discovery" aid in blood -making, and are best for scrofula. By improving the blood they aid in throwing off an attack of influenza. e Catarrh should be treated, first, as a blend disease, with this alterative.

This is especiaiiv true in the case of weeds When one considers that a single specimen of many kinds of weeds may produce over 10,000 seeds, and that many of such seeds may be blown far and wide by the wind, one begins to realize lust what a source of contamination is a weedy roadside, a fence corner or a waste place. In Ontario it is too common a sighs in the fall of the year to see a farrn- er busy with his fall cultivation, at- tempting to clean his field and pre- paring a good seed bed for next year's crop, At the same time on the roadside near the 0eld or in th• fence corners or some waste pinee near it such weeds as Perennial So A, Thistle.

E. Howitt, Ontario Agricultural College. Conserve the Soil Moisture, Moisture is the uwst important Soil property. Without it a crop is absolutely impossible, no matter hot much fertility may be present, With the proper amount large crops are obtained, while on the other hand if moisture is excessive or deficient the yield is diminished according as the excess or deficiency increases, If all the water necessary for the produc- tion of a full crop could be collected on the surface of the ground at one time, it would be from 18 inches to 24 Inches deep, depending on the crop and the season! During the growing season only 10 or 12 inches of rain falls in Ontario, and this :s only half the amount required by the crops. Hence it becomes necessary to store up in the soil as Bruch of the winter and spring rains as possible, while at the same time guarding against excess. The amount of water a soil tray; contain depends on the pore space in the soil. Sands have least pore space, loams and mucks most, and clay is intermediate. The porosity of a coarse sand is about 35 per cent., of a loam or muck about 50 per cent., and of a heavy clayabout 45 per cent. From these figures it will be seen that a soil may contain near- ly as much water as soil grains, Since the plant roots require air it is not desirable to have all the soil pores tilled with water; some free air space must be left, hence drain- age becomes necessary. There are three ways that water may be lost; first by run-off, second- ly by drainage, and thirdly by eva- poration. Of these three the greatest is evaporation. It may amount to half the total rainfall. As long as the soil is wet in the spring we want all these at work, but as soon as the soil is dry enough for cultivation we want the losses cut off. And cultiv- ation is the only direct means by which this can be done in summer. Cultivation should begin just as early as the soil is dry enough. To delay one week may cause the loss of as much as 1 sig inches of water, and this Is as much as falls in the month of April, a very serious matter when the needs are so great and the supply so limited. In the fall• of the year cultivation should be deep to increase absorption and retention of water;. in the spring shallow, in order to produce a dry layer of soil on the; surface to cut off evaporation.—Prof._ W. H. Day, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege. A Cheap and Efficient Method of Controlling Grasshoppers. • Grasshoppers may be easily and; cheaply controlled by poisoning with the bran, mixture, which is made as follows:. 20 lbs. . bran, 1 Ib. Paris green, % gal. molasses, 2 gals. water,. 2 or 3 lemons. • The bran and Paris green should be mixed thoroughly , together when, dry. This should be done the night before using. In the morning squeeze, the juice of the lemons into the water, run the pulp and rind through a meat chopper and add this and the, molasses to the water. Stir well and then pour the liquid on the poisoned; bran and mix so thoroughly that, every part is moist and will fall like sawdust through the fingers. The: masli should be applied early in the morning between five and seven o'clock, by scattering thinly over the infested field, in the fence corners and on roadsides where the insects have been observed. The above amount will suliice for four or five acres. It will be well to make an inspection three or four days later,. and if there are many survivors to make a secozid application. It is important to attend to • this matter as early in the season as the young grasshoppers are noticed, and not to wait till they grow big and have caused a considerable amount of damage. The same means may be employed foz'•the control of cutworms, making the application wherever the worms are observed: just before dark in .the ' evening. -1... Caesar, B.

Raising Pork Is a Profitable Sideline on, the Dairy Farm — Expert Advises One Brood Sow for Each Ten Cows on Ave!'afre Farm. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture„ foeonto.) LACKLEG of potatoes is a dis- ease that has been, causing heavy losses to potato grow- ers in Many districts during the past few years. As the name of the disease implies, there isa black- ening of the lower parts of stems of the potato plant affected. Accom- panying the discoloration there is a soft rotting condition 'followed by shrinkage and death. The disease is usually fsrst noticed in the young growing .flop when the plants are from four inches to a foot high.. In looking over a field in which the disease is present, it will be seen that the toes of certain plants have lost their brlgt dark green appearance, having faded to a more or less dirty yellowish or brownish color. These tops will be somewhat limp and drooping, and in some cases where the disease is well advanced will have dropped rim over, If a careful examination of the lower stems of these affected plants is made it will be seen that they"are black- ened and soft rotting. This black- ening and soft rotting is more noticeable below the soil than above it. By carefully removing the ;roil front around an affected plant the blackening and soft -rotting can us- ually be traced to the seed tuber. As a rule in such cases the Deed tuber will be found to be la a soft -ratting, slimy condition, the ask immediately beneath it being is s wet, puddled condition due to the ,lteta(eas from the soft -rotted seed tube....
