alfalfa? p have tun acres that 1 wish
to put in corn in the tarring and sow to
alfalfa in August. Will put on two
tons of high calciuut hydrated lime
and 200 pounds of complete fertilizers',
say 2-8-2 on the cern ground, and in
August will sow to alfalfa. Ilaw will
I gel' the alfalfa in the ground? Do
you think this is a good way, or can
you suggest a better plan?

Before Stropping After Stropping
Which blade is yours?
You shave with the
first blade—unless you
use an AutoStrop
Safety Razor.
Shaving causes a saw-
like edge to form on the
blade and the edge be-
comes dull. Stropping
re -aligns the edge and
brings the blade bade
to the original keenness,
That's why the
AutoStrop Razor has
such a large sale. Be-
cause men realize that
no razor can do good
work without constant
stroppitlg.

S. lee—When is the best time to put
lime no the soil? Is it a good time
now? What kind of lime would you
advise if you have any preference?
Which is the boat way to spread lime?
Are there devices for doing this?
Answer:—Lime maybe applied any
time with good results, if the weath-
er seems open and severe frosts
are
net threatening, you would do well to
apply lime yet this fall. As to the
kind of lime, it depends upon the type
of your sail end your distance from
market. Actual tests show that two
tons of ground limestone are required
to do the sante work as one ton of
air -slaked burnt lime. This is on ac-
count of the relative purity of the
latter kind of lime. Therefore, if you!
are a long way from your source of
Lime it will pay you to ship the purer;
form of lisle. Moreover, when apply-
ing lime to heavy clay soil, it has been'
'commonly found that air -slaked burnt
lime not only corrects the sourness of.
the heavy clay .soil but actually gath-
ers the soil particles together so that
the crumb of the soil is coarser after
liming than before, This is gr'e'atly
to be desired on heavy clay soil.
The best way to apply lime is to
Lre.adcant it on top of plowed land,
then work it in by disking and har-
rowing. This gives the lime an op-
portunity to e::crt its sweetening in-
fluence throughout the whole upper
surface ref the toil,
Considerable special lime -spreading
machinery is offered on. the market.
Most of the leading machinery manu-
facturers have special types on sale
all of which give eatisfartory appliea-

The colt's first winter is very im-
portant. If the colt goes into the
winter thin and in poor condition it
has less chance to winter well than if
it enters winter quarters in good'
shape.
Colts frequently lase bloom and
flesh at weaning time. To avoid this
is important. They ehould have learn-
ed to eat hay- and grain before wean-
ing time; also to be separated from
their mothers.
A very satisfactory method of
weaning is to let the colts nurse in
the morning and take them away, not
permitting them to see or hear their
mothers until the ordeal is over. If
they have learned to eat hay and
:sin then cin be we'uwd and wain in

Address all correspondence for this department to Mrs. Helen Law, 2V
Woodbine Ave„ Toronto.
Minerva: For a general chronologi-
cal history of the war, Frank H. Sint-
ond's "History of the World War,"
takes first place. Moro picturesque,.
more intimate in the ground which'
they cover, are Philip Gibbs's famous!
books, "The Soul of the War," "The
Battle of the Somme,' "From Bau--;
paume to Passchendaele," and "The'
Way to Victory."'
"The Times History'
of the War" is regarded by several'
authorities as essential. "Belgium!
Under C;erman Occupation," by Brand
Whitlock ,is the best account of Bel-
gium's sufferings and heroism. The
story of the first British troops to take'
the field against Germany ---"the ern-'
temptiblc little army" of which the
Kaiser spoke—is told - in Ian 'lay's 1
"The First Hundred Thousand."
The heroie but ill-fated Gallipoli ex-
pedition has had no abler chronicler
than John Masefield, who tells the
story in "Gallipoli." It was in the!
Gallipoli campaign that the 'Anzac,"
first sited their blood for the Empire.
Canada's story is tolyl in "Canada in
Flanders." To understand the war in
its entirety one must read of the
British campaign in Me.opotamia,
which has nowhere been more inter-
estingly set down than in Eleanor
Franklin. Egan's "The War in the
Cradle of the World,"
"France Facing Germany," by
Georges Clemenceau; "Serbia," by L.
F. Waring; "Italy in the War," by
Sidney Law; "When the Prussians
Came to Poland," by Laura de Gog-
(la'vvee Turczynowicz, a Canadian girl,
are interesting books.
No collection of war 'books would be
complete without an account of the
work of the British Navy set forth
in "The Grand Fleet" by Admiral
Jellicoe, and "The British Navy in
Battle," by Arthur H. Pollen.
Many thousands of wear poems
have been written. One poem
stand's out. It and other verses by
the same soldner-poet have been col-
lected into the book which may well
be included in the war library. It is
"In Flanders Fields," by that gallant
son of Canada, L, out. -Col. John
McCrae.
A most interesting book, just pub-
lished, is written by Col. G. G. Ne-
smith, the noted Canadian physician
who discovered the antidote to poison
gas, Dr. Nesmith sailed on that fam-
ous convoy in 1914, sloshed through
the mud of Salisbury Plain, crossed to
France in February, 1915, and was'
with the 1st Division at Ypres, when
Canada's sons aaved the situation on
that forever memorable St. George's
Day of April, 1915, Col. Nesmith
vividly describes the outbreak of the
tt are a.nd the ineid'onts which led up
to it. He devotes a chapter to Bri-
tain's response to arms and to the
magnificent deeds of French's little
ammy in those early, awful days of the
war, paving generous tribute all
through the book to the gallant men
of the British Isles.
The book bears the title "Canada's
Sons and -Greatt Britain in the War"
and contains thirty-nine chapters, of
which a few tramples are: "The Em-
pire Springs to Arms," "Cauiad'a in
War Time," "Canadians on Salisbury

There is too much wear and -tear upon

who re petted }rim and were surprised
