R. W. I have a piece of ground I.
wish to let out to plant to corn on
shares. I propose to furnish one-third
of fertilizer (if any is used), and one-
third of the twine to harvest it. In
return I want onedhird of the corn
put in the crib and one-third of the
stalks put in the stack. Now, if that
is not right and fair, what is? What
is customary for corn, wheat or oats
let out on shares?
Answer: I believe the arrangement
you indicate would be fair. You would
probably contemplate an investment
of about $6 an acre in fertilizers.
This would in all probability give you
an increase of 15 bushels to the acre
of corn, which would mean e return of
about $3 per acre for the $2 that you
had invested in fertilizer. In addition
you would have the left -over effect
which would ir.crease your crop for
at least two years following, the corn.
G. R.: Last spring I planted some
soy heines. I drilled them in twenty-
eight inches apart with a grain drill
and cut them for hay, but I found they
grew almost too rank and the stalks
were so large the cows would not eat
them. Would it be ,edvisable to drill
them the same as wheat and oats? If
so, when should they be sown and
how many per acre? What variety
will mature and ripen in Ontario?
Answer: I would not advise drill-
ing soy beans broadcast like wheat
or oats. They do better in rows. The
common variety for use in Ontario

Pruning Bush Fmits.
Raspberries and blackcaps must not
be pruned. until spring just before the
buds begin to seven. If pruned too
early they freeze back. These berries
are borne only upon new wood. Re-
move all the old wood of last year's
fruiting, prune the raspberries back
to about two and one-half feet from
the ground and the blackcaps should
have the side branches cut back 'to
from six .to ten inches long. The pur-
pose of pruning is the same as for
grapes, i.e., to eecure large and super-
ior fruit.
Currants and gooseberries should
never be cut back: About once every
three years, cut out considerable of
the old wood, especially that which is
low clown. The -se fruits are borne on
old eveod so don't prune too severely.

The Litetle iOnide Lady .Who Lived
There was an old lady who lived in,
a wood. She wore a black dress and
a tiny red. hood; an apron of white
with big bows out behind as lovely
appearing as any you will find. But,
oh, she was - selfish! She lived all
alone; no sharing of good things—not
even a bone. No bidding to dinner, no
bidding to tea; she could not afford it,
she said; no, -not she!
One no -on she was cooking a choco-
late cake; there came an old man to
her door. "You can bake,' he told her,
"such wonderful, wonderful cake!
Please give me aviece for humanity's
sake. But mark what I say: I've no
money to pay, but your very first wish
shall be granted this clay."
The old lady pondered how -best she
could bake a cheap little cake, then
a wish straightaway make.
She bustled about with her eggs and_
her flour and made many cakes in the
next busy hour; but all came from the
oven too rich, big or brown to waste,
she complained, on a silly old clown.
And so she kept trying,—one eye
on her caller, --making cake after
cake, each one smaller and smaller;
until at last, fica-rce,as,big, as a black -
headed. pin, one cooky remained, al-

THe Thing That Does It.
You may talc to men about the
duty and the privilege a being better
farmers and -they will laugh you in
the face and keep right on in the old
way. -
But just' put your own preaching ,
into effect right on your _own Larne
working out your theories in actual
practice, so th:at you have the beef
farm in the neighborhood, and you
will accomplish what ycu never can
accomplish by talking.
- The 'thing that does it is doing.
Tell your neighber that if he will
set out an apple tree, some day he will
have fruit to sell and keep, and you "
may 'watch till iou 'are as gray as a,
rat and see no apple tree on his farm,
But set out a tree on your own farm
and bring it to bearing, and you will
teed to .argue no more. The rosy -
checked apples on your tree hit the
nail on the head.
Foundation Walls.
When you build that new chicken
coop, hog house or barn, extend the
concrete fotindation walls a foot or
more above the floor. It is cheaper
than lumber the sills and board ends
will not rot from touching the ground,
and, best of all, the cold breezes can-
not chill the chickens, hogs or cattle.
