Money spent now in properly drain- ing wet farm lands will serve the best interest of our country, and will pay a high rate of interest, often as high as 100 per cent. There is scarcely a farm in Canada where some drainage is not needed to make the soil pro- duce the maximum crops possible with ordinary tillage. There are millions of acres where good drainage would double the annual food production. There are other mil- lions of acres which lie wholly useless for the want of proper drainage. In many sections the early Autumn frosts last year ruined the cern crop on poorly drained fields, but only slightly damaged that on properly drained fields. There are thousandof miles of ditches that need to be made now by dredging machines, Laterals should spread out from these further to carry off the excess water, In many sections ditches are blast- ed out by the use of dynamite alone, Ditches from 3 to 1 feet wide are quickly loaded and fired under favor- able conditions.

Hemorrhagic Septicemia. Hemorrhagic septicemia (blood poieoning), anthrax and blackleg ase terrible ecourges and used 1.0, kill live stock without man being able in any way to stay their ravages. Now they are well understood by trained veter- inariaos, and fairly successful meth- ods of control have been discovered and put into practice; but no remedy has been discovered. Within the past ten or twelve years hemorrhagic septicemia of cattle has been rightly recognized and properly attributed to its actual cause. Swine and sheep have been found to suffer from the same disease caused by the similar baccillus of each of those ani- mals, while a like disease has been found to kill poultry. Swine plague lute been the popular term for hemor- rhagic septicemia of hogs, and ehichen cholera is the name of the like disease of poultry. Ram] advance is being made in the improvement of preventive agents for each fulling], and that for cattle now is being widely and usefully applied by veterinarians. "Pastourella vac - eine," serum, and a bacterin are be- ing successfully employed in staying the ravages of the hemorrhagic sep- tieemia of cattle and our readers should understand that such treatment instantly should be given by the at- tending veterinarian if the disease suddenly appears in a district, Let us see, then, by what symptoms the disease is charactenized, Hemorrhagic septicemia of cattle tnkee several forms and is much eimilar to anthrax and also to Mach - lug.

The mistakes and successes of the 1910 season are fresh in one's1 mind and plans may be made accord -I ingly. Peonies, a June flowering perennial, are beloved by every one, easily grown, very hardy and have large showy flowers which are fine for cutting. There is a great variety of colors from which to choose. It has practically no insect enemies. The flowers will not be as perfect the first two years but by the third year the finest kind of blooms should be. pro- duced. The most popular white peony is !without doubt, Festiva Maxima, fol- lowed in popularity by Duchess de Nemours and Marie Lemoine as mid- seaeon bloomers, followed again by Gloria Mundi, a late bloomer, Of the pink varieties, La Tulipe and Eugene Verdier are early light plink beauties. Monsieur Jules Elie and Madam Coate are excellent and -season bloomers. For those who like 0011, the follow- ing peonies are good, Adolphe ]los_ 500U, one of the darkest, is the early blooming variety; Felix Crousse, a rich shade of red; Berloiz, currant red, which bloom next; Rubra Superba, deep red, as known no the best late - blooming crimson peony.

Edith first saw him one Sunday when he hobbled up the church eteps and sat in the last pew to see the flowers and the children on Children's Day. Then she saw him when father hired him to mow the grass in front of her home. Micheal loved Rowers and trees and grass. Once he had taken care of the flowers in a rich man's garden. But that was long ago; now the rich man was dead, the garden was gone, and Michael was old and poor. He told Edith many stories about his happy days of long ago. "Miss Edith, I wish I could see nly daffodils oncemore. They looked like a river of god," and Michael rubbed his old coat sleeve over his eyes. When winter came, there was no more grass to inow. Michael's ,place in the church was empty; he was ill. How sorry Edith was! But just be- ing sorry wasn't enough to give to Michael; Edith knew that. She said to hers.elf: "I'll tell other people, and they'll be sorry, too, Pm going to shpke all the money nut of my bank." Some other people shook money out of their banks also, when Edith told Michael's story. The grown-up people opened their pocketbooks. When Edith counted her own bank money and the gifts that others had given, her face shone 'with surprise and gladness. Then a happy thought came to her, because happy thoughts are apt to eoene to then who Inc busy about, doing good things, , "Mother, may I buy a pot of flow- ers? And father, may I change the money into two gold pieces and hide them in the leaves?" Mother and father helped, for it was such a splendid plan. The flow- ers 1.0810 100(19101. at the florist's, and the 111011531 was C111111g0t3 at the bank. The florist heard the story, and gave the prettiest blossoms in his store. The _ . . . banker heard the story. and gave the brightest gold coins he could find. Color Scheme. In every good landscape the artist uses all the colors there are. You do not quite believe that, Then notice next time you see a fine view or a really natural painting. The landscape, even though it seems at tho first glaffce all one green. will show tones of yellow and red, all fitted into a harmony of complement- •ing colon in the light that envelope the whole.' A good painting of out- doors has its mixtures of red, yellow and blue, the three primary colors, no "matter what amount of light may determine tho color values. That bit of color theory does not sound as if it had much to do with doing over the living )100111. But it has. As a matter of fact, the nearer 0110 approaches to a natural outdoor arrangement of collies in decorating a room the better the effect, le is one step in the right direction to use a single or two harmonizing colors— a blue bedroom, a green living room, and 50 forth. The next step toward a perfect room is to adjust several colo values so that people will say: "Why, anything looks right in that room!" New tins should be set over the fire with boiling water in them, before food is put into them, To keep drawstrings from pulling out of garments sew a small brasa embroidery ring to each encl and but- tonhole it. Flour 'must be kept in a perfectly dry place, If it is allowed to become damp, heavy cakes and bread are the result. CiirkuN Crevii:ireA :11(11 SI C 11) I (»LI f oaki 101,10 to lwently inarvict. . .
