Man times sick people or even well people are unable to sleep because the air is too dry. This may be so in modern houses, even though the win- dows are left open. A large bowl of water placed as near as possible to the head will induce sleep. If placed under the edge of the bed there is no danger of its being tipped over, Added to this a cloth saturated with cold water and placed across the eyes and around the temples will act as a soporific. In some cases better results are obtained by soaking a cloth in hot salty water, renewing as soon as it cools, until sleep is secured. The hot water is probably the better if the patient is very nervous.' However, a general lack of moisture in the air or by some of the glands about the head will cause wakefulness in a perfectly healthy person. Under no circumstances should one resort to drugs and dosing to secure sleep. If the wakefulness is persist - eat, even after using the water, a glass or two of hot milk sipped slowly generally finishes the treatment.

It also indicates greater shortage in Europe of all kinds of foodstuffs, grain,, vegetables and of horses. This depletion will have to be made up from countries that are en- joying the blessings of peace. One cf these is Canada. It is our bonded duty to see that Britain shall not, as far as preventable suffer from a lack of food- stuffs or of such other useful material as this country can produce. In other words, both men and women are called upon to put forth their best efforts so that when the time arrives any defici- ency can readily be met. The accom- plishment of this does not necessarily imply extra labour, but it does parti- cularly suggest more care in prepara- tion to the breeding and rearing of live stock. Towards this end tine confer- ences promoted in connection with the Patriotism and Production campaign and the bulletins, pamphlets, .records and reports that are to be had on ap- plication to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, will greatly help.

In describing a voyage from Hong- kong to Shangbal some years ago Ad- miral Fitzgerald relates in his book, "Memories of the Sea," a peculiar ex- perience: "One afternoon when we were lying at anchor out of sight of land, the weather being very close and sultry, we saw a great cloud approaching the ship from the direction of the shore. which was about fifty miles off. The cloud came slowly nearer. and nearer. It did not look like rain, and presently, as it enveloped the ship. we found it was composed of dragon flies, and very big ones. They evidently macre for the ship to get a resting place, but many ! missed and fell exhausted in the calm sea. "The masts, the yards, • the rigging and all the ropes in the ship were in- crusted with them. It was a very sultry evening, and about 6 o'clock we all bathed. I remember the strange experience of diving into a sea of dragon tiles, which stuck to our arms and shoulders, got into our hair and quite spoiled our swim. A light air then came off from the land, so we weighed anchor and made sail to the southward, and at midnight, just as the watch was changing, we were struck by a terrine squall, which laid Abe old ship nearly on her beam ends. "We wondered whether the. visita- tion of dragon flies was connected in any way with the squall. But if they were blown fifty miles off the land, where they certainly did not want to go, why did we- not get the wind for six hours afterward?" TREATMENT OF SMUT Commissioner Clark writing in the Agricultural War Book on "Treatment for Smut Prevention," says that in Eastern Canada there is .considerable smut in the grain crop each year, taut that it has not been sufficiently preval- ent to make treatment for its preven- tion general. The losses, however, are much greater than is commonly realiz- ed, and the value of the crop could be considerably increased if treatment for smut prevention were more generally practiced. Over half the samples of fall wheat collected iii Ontario contain smut, and it is also very common in the spring crops, especially oats. Re- ports on the samples treated indicate that formalin, one pound in forty gal- lons of water, is much more popular than bluestone as a preventative.

Thus the sport of hawking gave us the "falcon" and "falconette," which were respectively six pound and three pound guns, the figures refer- ring to the weight of the shot. The "culverin" and "demiculverin" cannon were so called because the handle of the gun was shaped like a serpent. "culverin" being derived from the French "couleuvre," a snake. Musket was derived from the old French "mousquet," which meant a male sparrow hawk. -Liverpool Mer- cury. Sock and Buskin. The expression "sock and buskin" (comedy and tragedy) had its origin in the soccus, the Latin name of the low shoe worn by the ancient comic actors; and the buskin, a contraction of the French word brossequ]n, remotely de- rived from the Greek bursa, a hide, or high soled shoe, worn hat the ancient tragedians to increase their height. The soccus reached only to the ankle, the buskin to the knee. Belated Discovery. "So you finally proposed?" said his chum.

"After suffering for a long time with Dyspepsia, I have been cured by "F ruit-a-Lives". I suffered so much that I would not dare eat for I was afraid of dying. Five years ago, I received samples of "Fruit-a-tives" I did not wish to try them for I had little confidence in them but, secimg my husband's anxiety, I decided to do so and at once I felt relief, Then I sent for three boxes and I kept improv- ing until I was cured. While sick, I lost several pounds, but after taking "Fruit-a-tives", I quickly regained what I had lost. Now I eat, sleep and digestwell-in aword,I am completely cured, thanks to "Fruit-a-tives".

Whether It Be Profitable Depends Upon Their Present Condition. Whether it is likely to be profitable to cut bitch trees and form heads de- pends entirely upon their condition. It the trees are is good distance apart. say thirty-eight to forty feet, and are in a favorable location for cultivation and spraying and are fairly vigorous a thorough rutting back and pruning would be likely to be successful and profitable. On the other hand, if the trees are close together, say thirty feet, and have lost all of the lower branches because of overcrowding, with many dead and blighted branches, there is considerable doubt whether the cutting hack and the forming or a new head would bring the desired results. "A tree that is In good condition for im- provement should have space enough in which to develop and should have a few live branches within eight or ten feet of the ground. It the trees have a trunk bare or branches to a height of fifteen to eighteen feet it is difficult to develop good low beads upon the trees. If these trees bave some fairly vigorous branches within a reasonable distance tram the ground the following suggestions for pruning can be made: Remove all dead and diseased branches. Prune out any upright Co -Operative Experiments in Weed Exadication. During the past three years (1912-13- 14) the Department of Botany of the Ontario Agricultural College, in con. nection with the work of the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union, carried on Co-operative Experiments in the eradication of weeds. Some forty- five farmers co-operated in this work. The weeds experimented with were Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion, Wild Mustard and Ox -eye Daisy. Some very interesting and valuable results were obtained. Those who took part in these experi- ments profited by the experience. In nearly every instance they cleaned the field experimented with, and demonstrated to their own satisfaction the effectiveness of the methods tried, and at the same time the results furn- ish practical information to others. 1. That good cultivation, followed by rape sown in drills, provides a means of eradicating both Perennial Sow Thistle and Twitch Grass. 2. That rape is a more satisfactory crop to use in the destruction of Twitch Grass than buckwheat. 3. That rape gives much better re- sults in the eradication of Twitch Grass and Perennial Sow Thistle when sown in drills and cultivated, than it does when sown broadcast. 4. That thorough, deep cultivation in fall and spring, followed by a well cared for hoed crop, will destroy Blad- der Campion. 5. That mustard may be prevented from seeding in oats, wheat and barley by spraying with a twenty per cent. solution of iron sulphate. These co-operative weed experiments will be continued this year. The weeds to be experimented with are Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion or Cow Bell, Wild Mustard and Ox -eye Daisy, All who have any of these weeds on their farms are in- vited to write to the Director of Co- operative Experiments in Weed Erad- ication, 0. A. C., Guelph, Ontario, who will gladly furnish information concern- ing this experimental work. a.N AN OLD APPLE ORCHARD. growing branches in the center of the tree that exceed a height of twenty feet, or, in other words, cut hack the top to side branches so that the tree can he sprayed readily from the tower of a sprayer. In some cases where the trees have been much weakened there may be water spouts- growing upward from the old branches. In cutting back the trees some of these should be saved and allowed to till the space left va- cant by the pruning out of the dead and weakened brunettes. The tower side branches that may be left upon the trees should he pruned sufficiently to enable one to cultivate and spiny the trees well. If these toner hrmuch- es are very thick they should be thin ned out somewhat to permit light to enter, and if they extend to a con- siderable distance beyond the trunk of the tree sane slight cutting back may be required. in a general way the object is to secure a shortened hitt well balanced framework and to retain es many of the small spurs and side branches as possible. Where a large apple tree is cut hack to mere stubs of branches ten to twelve inches in diameter and without any small side branches it is almost impossible to form a strong. satisfactory new tog' upon the tree. The pruning should he done during the winter and early spring before any growth takes place. Whether any fruit will be borne the season fol- lowing the pruning will depend upon condition of the trees. If the tower branches are vigorous enough to carry fruit buds there should be some fruit to mature. If the lower branches that are left after pruning are very weak little fruit is likely to be secured the first season. -M. A. Blake, New Jersey Experiment Station. YOUR SETTING HEN. A good plan is to set several hens at the same time, so when infertiles are tested out, the fertile eggs can be doubled up, given to fewer' hens and more eggs set. Watch the lice, don't let them get a start on you, Set your hens after dark. This gives them time to settle down before morn- ing. Bette have them sit a day or so on china eggs before placing the gocd ones tinder the hen. Don't be alarmed if the hen is off the eggs for a few hours, It's surprising s how much eggswillan istand while under incubation.

In describing a voyage from Hong- kong to Shangbal some years ago Ad- miral Fitzgerald relates in his book, "Memories of the Sea," a peculiar ex- perience: "One afternoon when we were lying at anchor out of sight of land, the weather being very close and sultry, we saw a great cloud approaching the ship from the direction of the shore. which was about fifty miles off. The cloud came slowly nearer. and nearer. It did not look like rain, and presently, as it enveloped the ship. we found it was composed of dragon flies, and very big ones. They evidently macre for the ship to get a resting place, but many ! missed and fell exhausted in the calm sea. "The masts, the yards, • the rigging and all the ropes in the ship were in- crusted with them. It was a very sultry evening, and about 6 o'clock we all bathed. I remember the strange experience of diving into a sea of dragon tiles, which stuck to our arms and shoulders, got into our hair and quite spoiled our swim. A light air then came off from the land, so we weighed anchor and made sail to the southward, and at midnight, just as the watch was changing, we were struck by a terrine squall, which laid Abe old ship nearly on her beam ends. "We wondered whether the. visita- tion of dragon flies was connected in any way with the squall. But if they were blown fifty miles off the land, where they certainly did not want to go, why did we- not get the wind for six hours afterward?" TREATMENT OF SMUT Commissioner Clark writing in the Agricultural War Book on "Treatment for Smut Prevention," says that in Eastern Canada there is .considerable smut in the grain crop each year, taut that it has not been sufficiently preval- ent to make treatment for its preven- tion general. The losses, however, are much greater than is commonly realiz- ed, and the value of the crop could be considerably increased if treatment for smut prevention were more generally practiced. Over half the samples of fall wheat collected iii Ontario contain smut, and it is also very common in the spring crops, especially oats. Re- ports on the samples treated indicate that formalin, one pound in forty gal- lons of water, is much more popular than bluestone as a preventative.

Thus the sport of hawking gave us the "falcon" and "falconette," which were respectively six pound and three pound guns, the figures refer- ring to the weight of the shot. The "culverin" and "demiculverin" cannon were so called because the handle of the gun was shaped like a serpent. "culverin" being derived from the French "couleuvre," a snake. Musket was derived from the old French "mousquet," which meant a male sparrow hawk. -Liverpool Mer- cury. Sock and Buskin. The expression "sock and buskin" (comedy and tragedy) had its origin in the soccus, the Latin name of the low shoe worn by the ancient comic actors; and the buskin, a contraction of the French word brossequ]n, remotely de- rived from the Greek bursa, a hide, or high soled shoe, worn hat the ancient tragedians to increase their height. The soccus reached only to the ankle, the buskin to the knee. Belated Discovery. "So you finally proposed?" said his chum.

"After suffering for a long time with Dyspepsia, I have been cured by "F ruit-a-Lives". I suffered so much that I would not dare eat for I was afraid of dying. Five years ago, I received samples of "Fruit-a-tives" I did not wish to try them for I had little confidence in them but, secimg my husband's anxiety, I decided to do so and at once I felt relief, Then I sent for three boxes and I kept improv- ing until I was cured. While sick, I lost several pounds, but after taking "Fruit-a-tives", I quickly regained what I had lost. Now I eat, sleep and digestwell-in aword,I am completely cured, thanks to "Fruit-a-tives".

Whether It Be Profitable Depends Upon Their Present Condition. Whether it is likely to be profitable to cut bitch trees and form heads de- pends entirely upon their condition. It the trees are is good distance apart. say thirty-eight to forty feet, and are in a favorable location for cultivation and spraying and are fairly vigorous a thorough rutting back and pruning would be likely to be successful and profitable. On the other hand, if the trees are close together, say thirty feet, and have lost all of the lower branches because of overcrowding, with many dead and blighted branches, there is considerable doubt whether the cutting hack and the forming or a new head would bring the desired results. "A tree that is In good condition for im- provement should have space enough in which to develop and should have a few live branches within eight or ten feet of the ground. It the trees have a trunk bare or branches to a height of fifteen to eighteen feet it is difficult to develop good low beads upon the trees. If these trees bave some fairly vigorous branches within a reasonable distance tram the ground the following suggestions for pruning can be made: Remove all dead and diseased branches. Prune out any upright Co -Operative Experiments in Weed Exadication. During the past three years (1912-13- 14) the Department of Botany of the Ontario Agricultural College, in con. nection with the work of the Ontario Agricultural and Experimental Union, carried on Co-operative Experiments in the eradication of weeds. Some forty- five farmers co-operated in this work. The weeds experimented with were Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion, Wild Mustard and Ox -eye Daisy. Some very interesting and valuable results were obtained. Those who took part in these experi- ments profited by the experience. In nearly every instance they cleaned the field experimented with, and demonstrated to their own satisfaction the effectiveness of the methods tried, and at the same time the results furn- ish practical information to others. 1. That good cultivation, followed by rape sown in drills, provides a means of eradicating both Perennial Sow Thistle and Twitch Grass. 2. That rape is a more satisfactory crop to use in the destruction of Twitch Grass than buckwheat. 3. That rape gives much better re- sults in the eradication of Twitch Grass and Perennial Sow Thistle when sown in drills and cultivated, than it does when sown broadcast. 4. That thorough, deep cultivation in fall and spring, followed by a well cared for hoed crop, will destroy Blad- der Campion. 5. That mustard may be prevented from seeding in oats, wheat and barley by spraying with a twenty per cent. solution of iron sulphate. These co-operative weed experiments will be continued this year. The weeds to be experimented with are Perennial Sow Thistle, Twitch Grass, Bladder Campion or Cow Bell, Wild Mustard and Ox -eye Daisy, All who have any of these weeds on their farms are in- vited to write to the Director of Co- operative Experiments in Weed Erad- ication, 0. A. C., Guelph, Ontario, who will gladly furnish information concern- ing this experimental work. a.N AN OLD APPLE ORCHARD. growing branches in the center of the tree that exceed a height of twenty feet, or, in other words, cut hack the top to side branches so that the tree can he sprayed readily from the tower of a sprayer. In some cases where the trees have been much weakened there may be water spouts- growing upward from the old branches. In cutting back the trees some of these should be saved and allowed to till the space left va- cant by the pruning out of the dead and weakened brunettes. The tower side branches that may be left upon the trees should he pruned sufficiently to enable one to cultivate and spiny the trees well. If these toner hrmuch- es are very thick they should be thin ned out somewhat to permit light to enter, and if they extend to a con- siderable distance beyond the trunk of the tree sane slight cutting back may be required. in a general way the object is to secure a shortened hitt well balanced framework and to retain es many of the small spurs and side branches as possible. Where a large apple tree is cut hack to mere stubs of branches ten to twelve inches in diameter and without any small side branches it is almost impossible to form a strong. satisfactory new tog' upon the tree. The pruning should he done during the winter and early spring before any growth takes place. Whether any fruit will be borne the season fol- lowing the pruning will depend upon condition of the trees. If the tower branches are vigorous enough to carry fruit buds there should be some fruit to mature. If the lower branches that are left after pruning are very weak little fruit is likely to be secured the first season. -M. A. Blake, New Jersey Experiment Station. YOUR SETTING HEN. A good plan is to set several hens at the same time, so when infertiles are tested out, the fertile eggs can be doubled up, given to fewer' hens and more eggs set. Watch the lice, don't let them get a start on you, Set your hens after dark. This gives them time to settle down before morn- ing.
