This eatt be done by coutting out any given ember of Bode, not less than 20 or 25 of each kirrd, and sowing them in sand or sandy soil in a temp- erature of but 60 to 65 degreeF., or a ernall piece of damp cat= ce canton flannel may be spread out on an ordinates dieser plate and the seeds placed 'singly and separately on the flannel or cotton. Over this spread another piece of damp cotton or flan- nel and then place an inverted dinner plate over all. The soil or material used should be kept damp enough to aid germination. Examine the seeds and keep close'tvatch as toeclatettand percentage of germination. 1u select- ing seed fotr testing, select a fair av- erage a la-ege add of small and ii- perfeet seeds as well so that a fair test can be made. Soil—The ,soil used to sow seeds in should be of a sandy nature, not too coarse in texture or too rich in fertil- izers. Old hotbed soil or goad loafny gerden soil with a good preportion of • sand mixed with it; about one part sand to five or six parts of moderately • ric'h loamy soiltis suitable.

The burlap may be use at each watering until growth starts A. light sprinkle of fine, drysand over the surface after the first watering will help to prevent "mycelium" or "damping off" as it is termed. This "damping off" is a fungus disease in- duced mainly by a too close, humid, warm atmosphere, insufficient ventila- tion, or by imperfect drainage or cares lese watering. Giving the plants MOTO air by ventilation, arid a lower teenp- erature, will help to prevent "damping off." A teinperature of from 60 to 65 deg. F. is suitable for starting most kinds of seeds. A night temperature of 50 deg. F. and a day temperature of about po to 65 deg. F. will suit most growing plants also. Give all the air possible on hot, slimly days, avoiding cold chilly draughts of air. • Careful ventilation will help to produce sturdy, hardy plants. Keep the soil moist, not too wet. Water seedlings in the morning before noon; watering them late in the day induces damping off. A good remedy for plants start ing t.o dampen off is to emove the dis eased plants as soon as seen and dust those remaining with dry powdered flowers of sulphur. Shading—Seeds should be shaded from hot sun until germination starts when they should gradually be given more sunlight. Avoid shading plants too densely as it induces a weak spindled growth. ' Transplanting—Seedlings should be transplanted when from four to six leaves have started as soon as the plants can be handled before they get too' crowded or too tall and slender. Soil of a coarser texture and slightly richer in fertilizers may be used for transplanting seedlings in. One part sand to eight or nine parts of fairly rich loamy soil will suit most. seed- lings.

TREES; OR FLOWERSt AND SHRUBS, WHICH? • Many of the front lawns, more par- ticularly in the Older street d of our towns and cities, present a dull un- attractive appearance. Many property owners become discouraged in their efforts to have a fine grassy lawn; _ others who are more persistent, sod their lawns at considerable expense every three or four years. Attractive Rowel's and beautiful shrubs are out of the question on many of the lawns of otherwise beautiful homes. The .overshading of street trees and the ' impoverishment of the soil by their hungry roots is responsible for the dull'appearance of many town streets. The admonition to everyone to plant a tree seems to have established a rule that is not easily broken. A tree once planted, if it lives at all; is with the greatest reluctance removed. The want of imagination and the habit of following others, has led to over -dense planting in 'practically every urban vicinity: It does not seem to be real- ized that a tree must have space for it to become a fine specimen. The re- sult is shown in street trees growing into each other during perhaps the length of an entire block or street, preventing individual development and shutting ,out the sun from the fine decorative plants that most of us like to see. -• If one can not visit a street graced with fine lawns, toltseS beds and shrubs, his imagination should lead him to realize the charm that may be me.remiermeor.* Soil too rich in fertilizers causes abnormal rank growth, and often induces disease. Stout, sturdy growth is better than rank abnormal growth for transplanting purposes. • It is best to, transplant each plant singly into email sized, clay pots or in -"soil banks" about two and one-half inches deep and two and one-half inches in diam- eter. The plants will form balls of roots in these so that they can be easily transferred later on into larger siegd pots, or planted out in the gar- den as required, without disturbing the root system very much, thus pre- venting any check oe set -back to the p1 auto g when transplanting them. Avoid exposing the roots of seedlings (or any plants) when transplanting, to sun and air; it is very injurious, and sometimes the results are fatal - to the plants. Keep the roots covered as much as possible when transplant- ing with a damp cloth or with damp moss and get them into soil again.as quickly as possible. Water seedlings carefully at once as soon as trans- planted and shade tlfe*in from Snn for a few aYs. Water them sparingly the first week or ten days. Keep the soil moist, not too wet, during growth. Seedlings may be transplanted hi shal- low, well -drained boxes (flats), but they do not transplant again as well as from these as they do from 'clay pots or from soil hanks as before men- tioned. In transplanting seedlings the plants should be set a little deeper than when in the seed box so that the roots are well under the soil. Care should be taken with seedlings such as lettuce, celery, primulas, golden pyre- thrum and plants of similar growth, that the crown or centre ef the plant should not be below the surface of the soil. Plants having a well-defined main . stem such as cabbage, cauli- flower, " tomato and similar pints should be set rather deeply in the soil so that the roots and about half the length of the stein is inserted hi the soil. The roots should hang perpen- dicularly in the soil, the tips of the roots on no account to be pointing up- ward, and all the roots should be atl least one-quarter of an inch or more belovv the surface. Press the soil firmly around each plant se as to set it hi position firmly. Water the plants carefelly, at _once, and shade from sun for A few days. • Water, the plants rather sparingly after the fiest water- ing for a week Or Sp until growth etarts, when more liberal wateeings may be given. Cultivate on seeface, stir the soil around the plants about once a week. This should be done when the surface soil is fairly4dry. Surface stirring the soil will keep down weeds; promote growth, and help to conserve the moisture. Altheugh many apparently try, it dannot be 'lone—this forcing vs to drink ice water with the expectation that they vvill produce ice cream. japan has now adopted the metric, system of ealculating weights and meastiree, secured by giving these finer horticul- teral things a chance. The holding sacred of even fine specimens of trees is not justified when lawn decoration is prevented by their presence, Horticultural societies have a fine opportunity to exercise their influence about the saner system of street tree planting and control, with a view to improvernerg of the homes through the more generous use of flowering shrubs and beds of flowers. • A canvas of policies with regard to street trees in the larger ities of this continent, where the work is handled by thoroughly qualified men, Isas shown that much greater space is noW being allowed between trees than heretofore. The elm is permitted only on very wide streets and parks and seldom nearer than eighty feet The maple, which represents the smaller type of street tree, is seldom placed nearer than forty feet. In some of the cities fifty feet is the limit between individual frees. One seldom has an opportunity of viewing a row of really fine street trees. These are never seen on the ordinary city street where the plant- ing is usually froni fifteen to thirty feet apart. The opinion is growing that the finer residential streets will have fewer trees and more of the smaller and ornamentals that we have become accustomed to see and un- fortunately to be satisfied without. _Canadian Hortiaultural Council. That hens show a decided prefer ence for nests in certain locations ca hardly be questioned by those wh have watched them closely. • Factor that influence a hen's choice 'of a nes with respect to its location are it height above, the floor, its relative se - elusion and the ease- with which i can be reached. The latter point is of special signifi cance when one is keeping fowls of th general purpose type. , In one cas which came to the writer's attentio a flock of Plymouth Rocks was foun to be laying practically all eggs 1 the top and bottorn tiers of nests leaving the intervening rows unused.

All rests were open, but no tier was pro- vided with an alighting board for he convenience ef the hens. Hence they could not make nse of the middle rows.

What should be the spirit governing all our dealings with our fellow -men? St. Paul speaks of this generally in Chap. 12, in words which recall our Saviour's teachie the Sermon on the Mount, In ap. 13, which forras our lesson today, the apostle turns to the duties of the Christian as a citizen, or member of the body politic. What is to be his duty to the civil government and to the law of the State? Here again we find the apostle followmg out the pre- cepts and commandments of Jesus and requiring Of every Christian a per- sonalerespect for law and its enforce- ment in all matters, ineluding taxa- tion, and advocating a just sub,xnission to the, civil authority in everything that is right and good. The Jews had once asked Jesus whe- ther it wes right to pay tribute to Caesar, They imagined that there was sorne incompatibility between this recognition of the Roman power and the duty which they owed to God as their true king. Jesus answered that there eves no incompatibility in mat- blowing where it listeth, is the power ters such as tribute; "Render to Cae- of the Spirit "There is no power but sar" he said, "the things which are of God."

St. Paul shows that on the coetrary the civil newer is ordained by God, and is entitled not only to the respect, but to the sympathy and co-operation of all right-minded men., especially in its task of enforcing just laws.

Political submission to the con- stituted authority is required of "every soul," This means that Chris- tians will render it not less than pa- gans. Indeed, just because civil authority is Tart of God's ordinance for the well-being of soeiety, the Chris- tian will show a greater alacrity than others to respond to every ' just re- quirement.

NECESSITY Or SHOWING LOVE TO ALL mANKIND, 8-10. V. 8. St. Paul now takes a step higher. He passes on to a still broad- er ground fox inculcating Christian citizenship. The Christian will not be content merely to meet his obligations, or to pay his debts. He will, and must, act on the positive principle of loving, seeking the good of all mankind. ' V. 9. For example, take the Deca- kgue—St. Paul here recalls to his eX7-‘.eta L -.447eog 4.rt N.12,/ Sheep should alevaye have plenty, of pure well water to, drink.

During the season of 1924, the work conducted by the Chemist* Dept. of the Ontario Agricultural College in "soil suevey has been carried Oa' in-titei Niagara Fruit Belt. A detailed soil map constructed on a scale of one inch to one mile has been completed.. • It includes the land lying between. the Niagara Escarpment and Lake On- tario from the Niagara River to Ham- ilton. The soils of this area vary greatly in their characteristics and crop adap- tations; they range in texture from fine sandy loam to the heaviest clays. A. feature of the survey that is espe- cially interesting; is that distinct cola- reletions between soil type and crop adaptation can be made. Profitable peach growing is limited to a very few distinct types of soil, and the percent- age of land in the 'surveyed area that is well adapted to peach orchards, is small indeed. One hundred and forty soil samples representative of the soils mapped en survey, have been taken for labor- atorY examination. As soon as these analyses have been made a complete report of the fi d work prepared, a bulletin will be published on this area, A "COUGII-COLD". IS DANGEROUS It May Turn To • Consumption R.
