All of trese ex. perimenta and testa however, are only a small part of the proof of the econ- omy of the era. The most important proof is the fact that one-half million silos are now being used by our most progressive farmer% Wealth in Stones By Louis Hurtubise The Federal and Provincial Depart- ments of Agriculture are eontinually urging Canadian farmers to foliew methods calculated to predate larger yields from the arms they already have in crop rather than in increasing the acreage and being unable to till it properly. Crop yields in general are very much below what is possible, in many cases below that which is profitable. Compare, for instance, the achievements of Seeger Wheeler and J. G. Hill with the harvests secured by the average farmer. Dr. Shutt, the chief *hamlet of the Dominion Experfe mental Farm says:—"We have now arrived at that stage where we must change from extensive to intensive farming. It is going to be easier and more profitable to farmers to get six- ty bushels frmn one acre than to get " thirty bushels from two acres," Fertility Depends on Many Factors. It is a poshaate that what comes out of the soli must be pet back if it Is to be maintained with its productive powers unimpaired. One a the prime necessities for soil improvement is lime. Annual replenishing of the soil is necessary because the rainfall eaeh year continually leaches the soil to such an extent that it becomes acid and the yields of nearly all common crops are reduced considerably. Ex- pert agriculturists on both aides of the line are unanimous in the opinion that the cheapest, quickest and most prolific means pf correcting this acid- ity is through the use of lime, and the wonder is that supplies of this product being eaaily procured in almost all farming areas, lime is not in more general use by Canadian farmers, par- ticularly, in the Provinces of Ontario Mad Quebec. Lime occurs ender different forms, burned lime, water -slacked lime and ground limestone. The last is the most important for correction of soil; it is a simple material to handle and apply and under meet conditions, the cheap- est, Within certain limits it may be said that the mote coarselY the lime- stoneris gmund the slower will be its action on the soil. Agronomists have recently and after .elaborate experi- mentation reached the conclusion that the most economical form hi which limestone Ehould be applied to the soil le in the ,size of oreequarfer inch and ince (almost the se of the average waste from cerarn eciel rock crush- ing plants). In tl furne the lime- stone will be a- er: teal- ne finest particles will bceorne almost immedi- ately ave a13 ta the soil; the coarser, particles gradually taking effect, and the coarsest (one-quarter inch) being a reserve supply available after all the finer have been utilized, Such application will meta therefore, only to be made at longer intervals than if all the limestone applied were so fine as to be immediately utilized by the soil, leaving no reserve supply for future seasons, Dr. Shutt's Recommendation. Dr. Shutt, the Dominion Govern- ment Agricultural Chenaist, recom- mends that this crushed, rock be ap- plied from two to ten tons to the acre but generally about four tons to the acre will be required for practical pur- poses, The application offers no dif- ficulties as a spreader may be used or the ground rock be distributed by a shovel from truek or wagon. The spreading may be done at any time of the year, the rock being suited to light loans, heavy clays and soil poor in organic matter. The material should be harrowed in on eropped land but merely spread on the surfaoe of mea- dows or pastures. The coarser lime- stone described above can be applied once in four or five years, the finer ground limestone requiring more fre- quent applications. The Washington Department of Agriculture states "that the applica- tion frequently pays a dividend of 100 per cent. the first year and the profits in agriculture from its con- tinual use are estimated to be from 300 to 500 per cent." The same 'de- partment goes on to say that "if all sources of artificial chemical fertiliz- ers failed, allT total farm output could not only be maintained but, even ii - creased fcir a tirne sirnply hy the ap- plication of lime to acreage that are now 'law in yield or lying fallow be- cause they are too sour to grow pro- fitable crops."

Swan When Froebel was looking for a name suitable for his system of edu- cation, he did not call it "Child School," or "Child House," but "Child Garden," and he intended that the "gardener" of the kindergarten should be the teacher herself. Nearly half of Fro4bers Mother Plays deal with the things of nature. At one time he said, "A little child that freely seeks flowers and cherishes and cares for them in order to wind them into a bouquet for parents or teachers cannot be a bad child, or be- come a bad man. Such a child c.an easily be led to the love, and to a knowledge of his Father—God—who gives him such gifts." Love of nature is the heritage of childhood. It is a tendency in every child of every land, be he black, white or yellow. All nature is akin to childhood; birds, animals, flowers, insects are all beautiful to children, won the "lovely crawly caterpillar," and the "creepy We all know how a dog will allow a child to stumble over him, recogniz- ing the action by only an expression of long-suffering indifference; be will stand all kinds of teasing which he would not tolerate from an adult. There seems to be a ilent but mu- tual understanding among young ani- mals of all kind e whether they have four legs or twe. „ As primitive man opened the early scenes of his life among the wonders of nature, so the child needs the ex- perience of the race in nature wonder and play. AN natural phenomena are matters of persenaI interest to the young child; and towards the moon, stars, sun, wind and rain he feels the inherent interest of the race. It is well to he able to tell the chil- dren the names of the plants and flower e they bring, and to awaken in them a lobging to know more of the wonderful life of the bird, bee and other insects. Children love the stories of animal and plant life; they love nature be- cause they are a part of it. It is a Writers and preachers of other days were fond itif eemparing the Church to a lifeboat seeking to rescue a few people from some great ship whieh was sinking. The great majority, they thought, must be lost; the beet hat the Chereh could do was to save a few. The Church's program to -day e a much mare arnbitieus one. It is pothing less than 'saving the race. 11 good thing for children to collect specimens; how they revel in the THE CHILDREN'S wOods no matter what season it may bel What tan be more joyous than to HOUR gather acorns, flute and berries in the autumn woods/ Will net the children be interested to know that acorns grow only on oak trees, and that they are the seeds of the oak as well as food for squirrels? We may have only a vacant lot near, but if so, we possess a whole plant colony for, "In the mud and scum of things, There always, always something sings." How many different weeds grow there, while others are -unable to do so? One of -our most delightful kinder- gartep excursions was the suggesaion of a child, to see how many different kinds of clovers we could find, and no one seemed bored. We need not be surprised if questions of real scientific value be asked by the childeen—"Why do people call those -white flowers dog- wood?" was, the thoughtful inquiry of one of my kindergarten children. "Row do birds fight snakes?" "What is the grease inside the but- tercup used for?" "Is it true that only female polar bears hibernate?" "Why does the mullein have such a This shows a spirit of real inquiry. • How the child's imagination grows as he pictures the building of the nests, the return of birds and, insect's! Their songs become part af his nature, and give strength and sweetness to his life. To cultivate direct observation, to enlarge the growth of character, to stimulate the ianaginative powers, in other words, to see things, to know things,—does it not seem worth while? Who knows the Inspiration given to an embryo artist, poet or scientist, when we wander with the fairies through the meadows and woods, en- joying with them the concert of insect bird and breeze? Why I Like the Farm. Where we live we expect to work and farm life means pretty much of outdoor work, while city life means mostly ineide week. Out of doors there is always plenty of good fresh air, often scented with sweet blooming flowers, while inside the air cannot be perfectly fresh and is often scented with stale tobacco and coal smoke. On the farm the wonders we see are made by God. In the cities uearly everything is made by man. Although man has made wonderful and beautiful f things they do not compare with the works of nature. The farmer never knows his exact income. There is always little mys- teries being yeee-ked out. One year one crop will do extremely well and an- other will nearly fail. The same way with the stock increase, There is al- ways wonder and expectancy that t keeps one hoping. The city man can ; figure everythieg in plain dollars and s cents, but loses much in anticipation. The farm is the ideal place for dal- $ deen. Here they can run and play t over acres of green fields without be- c ing in danger of lostng their lives by the traffic. They can gather beautiful t flowers by the wayside without fear e of rebuke. Running brooks are free i for their pleasures. They learn many lessons from nature and learn to fear e God. instead re of the p. t Give me the farm life for all around natural existence. —Wayne Church, lag . I have always lived ot a farm and ' will tell: you why I like it. The air is pure and healthful and , void elf disease germs. A great variety I of anuisements can he found on a farm' I like the woodland swiog n ' I horseback riding, and everiding cat - tie --which some folks find .difficult, 1 like the farm because 1 like farm animals. It is a pleasure to gather eggs and hunt nests, feed the stock, milk, and drive cattle to and from the pasture and water. I like to pick berries and work in soil, drive a team and dress as a boy and roam at will all over the farm. I find real fun in picnics in the woocie and a. plunge in the lake on a hot, dry day. The birds make music to wake me in the morning and the hill back of the house furnishes excellent coasting in winter. The lake over the hill furnish- es skating. The farm gives you a broader mind and good judgement. It makes you think clean thoughts and you are not always spending money on movies. I enjoy telling visitors about the arm and explaining about the use of each thing. I find many things to like about a arna but very few to dislike.—Mar- garet McKibben, aged 16. Keep the Lambs Growing. It is an excellent practice to have growing some palatable forage near he regular sheep pasture for the ambs to feed upon while they are ill suckling the ewes. If the forage crop is sown in an adjoining lot, •a mall opening can be made through he fence so that the lambs have ac- ess to the supplemental feed. They vill soon learn the trick of running to he forage feed and in this way will timulate flesh and bone growth. Rape s an excellent forage for this purpose. New clover is splendid. I like the ape because it can be sown at any inc and comes on very rapidly. A regular grain ration materially assists in balancing up the green for- age. A grain ration compo,sed cif equal parts by measure of coarsely cracked cern, oats and wheat bran inake an excellent feed. The lambs may be aupplied math a light ration twice daily before weaning. Place it in a low trough, either in a small pea adjoining the pasture or at the barn. Forest fires destroy your inherit - nee, Help to,,prevent them
