It has always; raised large amps until the last four' or five years. About all it will grow now is sorrel and a small fuzzy grass , and smart weed. PlowedIL lab' isummer after cutting hay and kept it worked,all.fall. I plowed it again this spring and planted it to corn about the first of June, but the corn is net doing anything. What is the ,trouble? Answer:—I cannot tell exactly what is the matter that you do net geta better growth on rear swamp soil, but would suggest that it may be for •one OT a combination of the following reasons:— , (1) Your swamp may not be suf- ficiently drained, hence the water standing in the soil will prevent deep rooting such as is natueal to corn. (2) Your swampsoil may be very sur, hence impossible, to corn. J sus- pect this is partially the cause of your trouble since sorrel thrives on your. soil. It usually does well on sour soils. To test out your soil for sourness, get a few sheets of blue, litmaus paper from yotir druggist, and hery this paper 4 to 6 inches in the soil at different paints. When yeti dig it up in about 20 minutes if tie, paper has turned pink it indicates seiixness, OT the need of lime If it is the :ase apply lime at about 1,000 to 2,000 lbs per acre, putting it on any - tine this fall or early spring. (3) Your swamp soil is strong in nitrogen, weak in phosphoric acid, and very weak in p.otash. Now corn requires a large amount of potash and considerable phosphoric acid and potash. I-lene it will be necessary for you to apiety 300 to 500 lbs. Pei acre of a fertilizer carrymg 10 to 12 per cent. phosphoric acid and 6 to 8 per cent. potash befere you can ex- pect good crape of corn or potatoes. My Advice to you would be to seed year swamp land to red top grass and alsike clover, and use higher ground for general crops, R. F.—Please give sorne advice for destroying cabbage worma. We have triad ashes and this doubled the amount of worms. • Answer.—Spray your cabbage with Paris green or lead arsenate, 1 lb, of Paris green to 150 gallons of water or double the amount of lead arsenate. There is no danger of human poison- ing because the cabbage grows from the centre out, and the outer leaves are always removed in preparing the vegetable for cooking. E. A.—Can you give me the right dates for sowing wheat in various Parts of Ontario, to avoid the Hes- sian fly? Answer.—It is advisable to wait as' late as possible in sowing fall wheat, so as to avoid the late brood of Hes- sian fly. 'Usually the middle of Sep- tember will accomplish this. It is necessary to fertilize the' wheat liber- ally to get sufficient head -growth t meet winter. Use at least 200 to 30 lbs. per acre of a 240-2. • T. H.—I have a 10 -acre field to sow to fall wheat. It is a heavy clay -soil and was in oats this season. What is the best fertilizer to use as I have only a small amount of manure. Answer.—On your soil, for fall wheat I would advise a 2-10-2 or a 2-12-2 at 250 lbs. per acre. Fertilization of Field Crops. .A careful study of bulletin -No: 8, tiff the Dominion Department of Agriculture, should prove well worth while to' every fel:mete It treats of fertilizers for field -crops, describes their nature, functions and methods of application, and gives results -obtain- ed at the various Dominion Experi- atental Farms and Stations which . -elude about all the soils and, climatic conditions el the country. The first three chapters deal with the influence that those three necessary ingredients, nitrogen, phosphoric- acid and potash have upon the soil and on particular crops in different localities. Chapter four treats of mineral and organic fertilizer materials; chapter five of mature with fertilizers and 'lime; chapter six of farm yard manure and green manuring, and chapter seven treats of the nature origin and uses ta of fertilizer materials, Chapter eight explains the value and proper uses of lime in its various form. Chapter, nine supplies formulae for fertilizers and home mixing mixing, and chap- ter ten describes the fertilizing needs of grain crops, potatoes, turnips, mon- gols beets corn timothy, clover, alfa- lfa, flax, tobacco, vegetables, fruit, etc. Every chapter is of obvious value to tillers of the soil, but thei last three contain information of an especial nature avhicdi no farmer can, afford to be without. Of particular1 impartanee is the plain and straight- forward language of the entire bulle- tin, which can be had simply by apply- ing to the Publications Branch, Ot- tawa. Protect ZOitOni of Bee Hives. Bee keepers have learned that the loss of heat through the -.bottoms of bee hives during the win:ter time, is very rapid. This is contrary to the usual belief. The practice has been to insulate the top and sides of the hives but not the bottoms.' Tests were recently made by government experts and from these tests it was made clear that leaving any part of the hive with- out insulation makes the escape of heat at that point easy. While dead air spaces form the usual method of in- sulation, it is the obinion of the gov- ernment experts that the bee keeper had better increase ,the SiLe Of these Spaees to four or even six inches iri width and then fill with sante cheap insulating material like sawdast. Live Stock in Canada. Stetietics furnished hy the Domin- on Department of Agriculture show that there were over 500,000 more milk cows in Canada in 1921 than in 1920, 400,000 more other cattle, 45,- 000 fewer sheep, nearly 400,000 nore vine, and 6,600,000' more poultry. Average values were much less last year than in the year before, dairy cows being placed at $51 'against $80, other cattle at $28 against $47, sheep 86 against $10, savine $14 against $23, and poultry, $1.02 against $Le1, -Upon the permanence of Canadian Agriculture depends the permanence of Gamete.

The news letter of August 10th is- sued by the Dominion Dairy and Cold Storage Branch states that, during the month of June, 2, 898 dairy herds were tested and that a: total of 28,831 tests were made of individual cows. This was an increase of 17,018 tests over the number made in the month of May.' An interesting part of the work is the attention given to cows owned by members of the boys' and girls' clubs. Farmers are showing more and more ineerest in herd testing and increased appreciation of a sys- tem which not only means healthy cows but also healthly people insofar as it guarantees th a large extent a supply of good milk. There is one way in which they can pre-emmently assist in the excellent work which both the Dairy Branch and the Health of Animals Branch of the Dominicn Department of Agriculture are try- ing to do, and that is by making clean- liness their watchword.

Gardiner Children with life all before them require food that is selected with a mind open to their specifie need. They are not miniature mete "The child is different from the adult/" says Terman, "in every Citric, every blood cell, every bone cell, and in the rela- tive proportion of all his parte. His resistance to disease, his powers of recuperation, his food and sleep re- quirements are all unlike those of the adult," The child is incomplete in bone, nerves and muscles. Many glands either do not function in in- fancy or have a very low efficieecy, His food need is great because growth is exceedingly 'rapid in the earliest years. Until he reaohes the age of twenty-one his body is in process of build inc. Good teeth, strong straight limb bones, well shaped bones protecting the brain and organs of the trunk, a strong thitec heart muscle, eteady ner- ves and efficient brain, are all formed from foods Which are simple, easily digested and adequate in values, The first critical period of a child's development is that known as the pre- ' school period. During that time he is I becoming somewhat independent and bocafuse he can vaalls alone, go from roam to room on his own initiative, and even out of doors if he so desires, parents and guardians are very' apt to forget that his need for care is quite as great as when he was 'still confined to his crib or the perambula- tor. Give Child a Good Start. This child is able to help himself of food within sight and within reach and he does so. He takes raw pota- toes and enjoys them. He notices that mother drinks coffee so he demands it, and hie demand is too often granted. A noted authority in pediatrics has stated that in spite of the best hered- ity the adult falls physically short it management during the pre-school years is neglected. Authorities agree that nutrition plays the mostimport- ant part in the manufacture of men and women and that both a strong mind and a strong body depend upon the elimination of era -ors in feeding. It is of primary importance that the child's meals be served regularly. This trains the appetite and fosters a habit of complete digestion. The child that eats between meals, and eats orals Which are eesential foe fborie end teats, building and Tor retaliation. They need such aetivity foods as butter, cream or bacon. They need a very lit- tle sugar, not, over one level table- spocinful per day; and they need rice, oatmeal and tapioca puddings. They do not need ,.stimulants, such aa tea or coffee, which are injurious to many adults, and, serious in their effect upon children. "Waiter, bring rite an order of bread and butter sandwiches, and a bottle of milk; also an order of mince pie and a cup of coffee." This, 'late at 'night in a reseaurant, was the order of a man seated at a teble with his five-year-eld son. The waiter brought the ordeals, and 'unhesitatingly placed the pie and coffee before the father and the bread and milk before the set. "I'd die before morning if I ate that dope," said the father, and he pushed the pie and coffee over to his little sen and took for himself the easily digested bread and milk. Such parents do not realize the harm they are doing nor the criticism sure to come from the Child later. Waste in Cooking. Foods served to children should be carefully Cooked/ so es to preserve in- tact all the nutrients, Potatoes are rich in iron ad it is practically all extracted by the water during the first"fifteen minutes of cooking. This is true also of such vegetables as spinach, beans, carrots and cauliflower. Cabbage is a valuable anti -scurvy ve- getable but this property is lost when the vegetable is cooked for half an hour or more. Investigators found that it cured scurvy in animals if shredded and cooked in boiling water only twenty minutes, The selection, combination and peeparation of foods are of equal importance, whether the foods be for adults or for children. When children first enter school, the regular gain in both height and weight slows down somewhat. This is prob- ably due to the fact that the mouth is preparing for permanent teeth, that the children are more closely 'confined and ,are obliged to accustom themsel- ves to a definite routine, for we find the pendulum of growth swings out again in the seventh and eighth grade when these conditions have become settled...It is -a singular fact, however, that physical defects, hitherto unsus- everything that takes his fanny, loses pected, become apparent, probably be - the keen appetite for plain building cause there are a greater number of foods furnished 'at meal time -' he be- children form comparison. Many of comes finicky. , The capacity of' a these defects are due to errors in early child's stomach is small and if it is feeding, for the habit of eating re- found to be impossible for him to gula:rly and of eating the correct take food in sufficient quantity at the regulae meal hour his "piece" should be plain bread and butter, or a peanut butter sandwich, or bread and mills.— midway between two regular meale and always at the same time. If this destroys the edge of his appetite for the meal, train him to wait and then to eat more heartily at meal time. The child's meals should be simple, He has not yet learned to like all iihe kinds of foods which he needs and if those of intense flavor as candy, cake, bred with sugar him, he yaill .scelect there and anpourice, /ed. foods for development of mind and body, must have been fixed before the child is of school age. Many children are discovered to be underweight When they enter school. While this is not in itself a serious handicap, it signifies that the power of disease resistance is below par, and an underweight child is more subject to infection from the contact with numbers of children, in an atmo- sphere where, too ,often, the tempera- ture varios greatly and where fatig-ue gar dr jelly, be ,given is not always recognized, and control- , that he does not "like" plain oatmeal - with Milk: He yall not drink milk if School Lunches. .e he given coffee or .some other be- It is essential that the food habit eerag.e 9f 14k nvnn,11vrn. of Children just entering school be Coffee Has No Food Value. studied carefully and the mother can Yet coffee contains nothing to really ,feed him. -It 'stimulates and satisfies his longing for food io that he is pre- vented from taking foods of the right .quality and also from ta,king,enough. When his mother urges him to eat; he thinks it'a game, and becomes con- trary in 'order to receive much atten- tion. Highly Seasoned foods and com- plex mixtures also prevent him 'from desiring the essential foods. Thus begins one of the most serious, per- plexing, problems the mother has to The foods which a child needs should be easily digested as it is from the digested foods he es built. Milk is more easily digested by many children when it is taken with bread. Foods rich in fat digest slowly and author- ities are agreed thati ndigestion in hies are agreed that indigestion in little children is most often caused by Ibis reason are introduced gradually into a child's dietary and not at all until the twenty-first month—in the new scientific feeding. Fat meats, pastries, rich sauces and gravies are all apt to cause trouble. The hulls of baked beans render them difficult of digestion; raw vegetables such as potatoes and 'carrots pass through the child exactly as swallowed, so do sweet corn and other foods that resist thor- ough Ch ' ' Watch the stools of the child dur- ing the,period that he is learning to take new foods and prevent him from taking those which are seen to, be e.bsolutely indigeetible. Unripe fruits cause diarrhea, which is a serious ail- ment and affects growth immediately'y., An attack of indigestion lasting less than a week is often responsible for a set back in growth that has lowered- a child's vitality for years. The child's food should satisfy the hungee as well as the appetite. Less that one-third of the children of large cities, over one year of age, are ot portal development, Children need the growth foods, especially milk which is more potent than any other. They need bread ancl other vegetables as epinacli, helmets, peas, cauliflower, string beans, potatoes, and euch fruits as oranges, cooked prunes, apples and do this most easily, and with the greatest return for the thne spent. It is essential that the children have a good breakfast, one that will supply all the elements needed for growth and for play. Many ehildren who have been considered stupid, who have been held back in their grades, were chil- dren wboso stomaChs were enipty when they reach school or very -soon after and the consequent contracting of the stomach made good lessons im- possible. Children coming in the bus to a certain consolidated school did poor work. Some of the homes were fully six miles from school, and the chil- dren had an early breakfast and fre- quently a hurried ane. The principal decided, los the benefit tif the district, to find out whether food antfl a,cholar- ship went together so a hot cereal was prepared every morning; the children brought milk and promptly at eight forty-five the schoel breakfast was served. These children have all im- proved in school work, nearly every child made the grades and was pro - Meted, and the school breakfast Is per- manently fixed in that district. In a kindergarten of one of our large cities was a group of five -year-olds who appeared most stolid. They did not respond quickly when called, they • , 'remember even the simplest one long s enough to tell it.

'The quality of foods is important. So too is the quantity.

A Crime Against Children. A girl writes us that she was al- lowed to grow to womanhood with- out an education, because her father, though he could afford to keep her at school, thought it a better bargain to keep her at work. Now she says she iniast pass through life constattly humiliated by her ignorance, because she does not have the education that other girls about her have. ' There is no greater wrong parents can do their children than to deprive them of a good education, of a good start in life, Every child has a right to be well born and well started in life; so started that he wIll -have a fair chance in the great competitive game, and not be perpetually handi- capped by the lack of education, poor health, an underdeveloped body, or some other preventible mental or physical defect which seriously jeopardizes his success in life. To rob a child of the advantages his Creator has designed for him is a double crime—a crime against God and against the child. -0 S. Marden. sts. Our Dairy Products to Britain.

Recently he 're- -peated that canviction. "Qiieruleus adherents. of Jehovah . tempted to despair in their service cf God," are recalled to faith and devotion.
