Over -ripe hay loees a large percen- tage Of leaf, and is of inferior feed ! value. In general the principles of hay I making are the same for all. hay crops. The crap must be cut at a ; stage of maturity that will give the I highest yield of palatable hay. Above! all ,the crop must not be permittea j to ripen too far or the resultant feed will be woody, with a high per- ! centage of wastage when fed. In the making of clover hay the ! best quality is obtained where the , crop is cut when in full bloom, or ! when the heads are just beginning to turn brown. It should be cut in the morning as soon ae, free from dew. It may be tedded or turned by hand, and then coiled in rather small but carefully made coils, or cocks, in the evening:. Hay of this type cures best under conditions which prevent very rapid drying of the leaves. If favorable weather ob-; tains the hay may be taken in after ; aeleeral days, directly from the coil, , although if help is available very fine ' hay results if the coils are shaken , out several hours previous to haul- ing. 'When a heavy ram hae filial' on clover after it has 11,011 &III, the op. eration of curing becemes difficult If very wet, and left in 1:g coil. it will mildew; if eprend out in the hot sun, the leavee blacken and • break off readily, leaving a steramv hay, If the weather is fine fare; ing the rain, a fairly eatisfactory method is to leave the coils undis• turbed .durine the dae. The hay may then he fit for drawing in the following day, or it may be TICCIT•S- rttry to roil for further curing. Haul and store wlam the hay rue- tles nicely. The addition of one or two pound:, of common salt per ton of hay as it is being- etored usually adds to the keeping quality and pal- atability.

(Contributed by Lamar:meat ot Agrieuiture, Toront(.) This parasite is probably respons- ible Inc the greatest loss to sheep breeders. Many dock owners do not know that their sheep are euffering from the invasion of this paraelte, but take it Inc granted the% the scrubby Iambs, small unthrifty sheep are the result of other influences. The stomach worm larvae are present on the blades of green grass awaiting the coming of the sheep or lambs. The sheep nibtil.s off the grails and takes in the larval form at the same time. On reachinr the sheep's stomach it attaches itself to the mucosa and develops to maturity. A few cause no particular harm, but when present in thousands they make their presentee apparent by causing digestive disturbance and a general unthrifty condition. Preparation of Drench. Copper sulphate crystals four ounces, dissolved in a quart of hot water and then add to three gallons of water. TMs is sufficient to dose 100 sheep. Drenebing is beat done, witn the aid of a three-eigleth inch rubber tube, 3 or 4 teat long, one end to go in the sheep's mouth and one end connected to a funnel in which the liquid dose may be poured. The dose Inc a sheep over 80 pounds in weight is 4 ounces of the solution, lambs weighing 60 pounds takes a ounces. The sheep should be treated every four weeks during the pasture seasote until such time as the peat bas been eliminated from the premisee The work well done Inc two seasons is sufficient to elean up the pastures. Remember the young worm spends part of its life on the grass and part of the time in thesheep's stomach. In drenching be careful, there is • clanger of the solution finding its way to the lungs. Two men are need- ed, one to handle the sheep and the other to do the drenching. Hold the sheep's head horizontal, not up, and give the animal a chance to swallow in as natural a way as possible. Don't hurry and be sure and keep the lips levet just so the liquid will not run out of the mouth. Lambs are not drenched until they are weaned. Temporary pastures as clovers, rape, rye, oats, peas, and turnips, are an aid in keeping the stomach worm un- der control.—L. .Stevenson, Dept. of Extension, 0. .A. College. JOINT ILL OF FOALS. An Acute Infections Disease of Yonne Aninuils. A heavy toll is taken each spring from the recently -born foals by this disease which is as widespread as the horse industry. "Seine ill" is recognized as an acute infectious disease •of young animals, and it is characterized by thilionina- Hon and abseesa formation, affecting the joints and limbs. The disease may develop as a result of infection either before or after birth, Symptoms. In most cases infection takes place shortly after birth and symtoins de- velop during the first three weeks. et the foetal life. First there is rever, and breathing is rapid, and the appe- tite is lessened. The colt appears dull, is lame, close examination will show one or more joints to be swol- len. This may be mistaken for in - JIM'. Soon, however, some other joints become swollen, initially the hocks and knees, stifle, fetlock and elbow may be also affected in severe cases. The colt shows general con- stitutional disturbance, by pain, rapid loud beat of the heart, panting, elevated temperature, and thirst. In severe eases the systentatie dieturh- ances are always serious, in that the swellings become very tense and puin- ful involving the eurrounding Parts. Frequently the affected joints, sup- purate, abeceeses form, Joints break out in running soles, and enrolls col- ored fluid exudes from the Ain, The. hair falls out from armind the joints and the skin becomes hart! and shiny. In many cases a ..wif‘l'o diarrhoea de- velops and there is marked loss or flesh and the wilt becomee too weak to stand. If the navel ie examined it will he hot, painful, swollen, unhealed and dribbling pus. As the disease progresses the colt gets weaker, com- plications as pnetimonie, periearditis or a general septa- rendition Muttons its end. Severe eases pass out in two or three days, average VitsvF4 lait about two weeks. Any eolts teat re- cover are left with large badly -form- ed joints. Curative treatment is not alwitys eatisfactory and is best undertaken by tho trained veterinarian. Prevention. The disease tan be iargely pre- vented' by a system calling for the best use of hygienic, and preventative medic:lee. The first consideration 15 an absolutely clean maternity stall for the mare, and proper attention to all details of disinfection Inc both tbe mother and foal.

Bertha had enough money saved tt omble her to cross the ocean, and it was decided tbat she should come over in advance of her lover, wbo was serv- ing his time at railitary service, which would not expire for several months. Bertha was to look into the new coun- try teed, if possible, make an engage- ment for him with an orchestra. In this way they might be self support- ing at once on Gustav's arrival. Bertha arrived in New York, found friends who had mile over years be- fore and as soon as she had settled herself went out to look for an engage- ment for Gustay. She met the leader of an orchestra, who promised her that as soon as her lover arrived he would gave him a trial. MI was arranged, and tbe girl .sytte expecting her lover to sail for New York when news came that Germany had declared war upon Russia, and the rush of German troops into Belgiutel commenced. From that day forward the fraulein heard nothing of ber lover. Sim knew that, since war had been declared, he would not be permitted to come away even if he had chosen to come: Then came news of the lighting in 13elgium, followed by more than a year or war- fare. Bertha heard nothing from Gus- tav nor from any of her relatives. She had no great expectation of hearing from her lover, but thought she should henr from her mother and sisters. That she did not was probably because the censorship had caused the destruc- tion of letters that might have been mailed to her. At last, after waiting a year, a letter came stating that Gustav heel been reported among the missing several months before, and since nothing later had been heard from bim he was un- doubtedly dead. Bertha monrned for him as lost True, if he were dead his identifica- tion badge should halve been found. But If a man is -buried under tons of earth caused by explosion or blown into numerous fragments what good is au identification badge? Neverthe- less the poor girl had a ray of hope that Gustav lived and that they !would one day be reunited. Bertha was very handy with her brush and had the faculty of designing cards and other things needed at so- cial fuuctions. In this way she made , quite a sutm sum or money and, being frugal, had held 00 to nearly all or it. She met a countryman of hers, an artist much older than herself, who paid her a great deal of ettention and ended by proposing marriage, But 13erthies heart was with her lover, be he alive or dead, and she would not listen to nny other man.

Nana Sahib, who was a foster son of . one of the Mahratta kings, had enjoyed the trust and confidence ef the British Government, but on the: first signs of clissatisfaction among the natives at Cawnpore he threw off bis mask of friendship and assum- ed the leadership of the mutineers. The White population of the city numbered just over 1,000, of whiele 465 were men, mostly soldiers and Government officials, about 286 wom- en and the same number of children. They all escaped from Cawnpore on the 6th June, and fortified them- selves within the frail walls of a hos- pital barracks on the outskirts of the city, where they succeeded in keeping their savage foes at bay, for 21 days, although the flimsy buildings were speedily destroyed by the guns of the rebels, and for the greater portion of the siege their only pro- tection consisted of some hastily con- structed earthworks, Their entrench- ment was completely surrounded by a force of over 10,000 armed and blood -thirsty men, and 1 lit and day the little garrison was pxposoci to an ineessant storm of ellen from three large mortars and ten cannone. On the morning of the 28th June the survivors in the hopelese fight surrendered, relying on the solemn preinise of Nana Sahib that their lives would be sparedand that ehey would be given an unmoleeted pas- eage down the river to Allahabad. The gallant. little band, who harl 911'. 1.0 up their arms and ammunition, had scarcely reacbed the boats pro- viden for their journey when the treacherous Nana Sahib ordered his men to open fire on them, Less than 200 wore spared, and these, mostly women and children, were reserved for death at a later date. On the 15th July, when General. •Havelock's avenging army was only fifteen Miles from Cawnpare, the last act of the bloody tragedy took place. Nana Sahib sent his men into the small house, where the sur- vivors, 125 women and -children, wore imprisoned, and gave orders that the prisoners were to be cut to pieces. The place was speedily _ankle-deep with the blood of the innocent yie- tims, and the bodies of the dead and the dying were flung Into an adjac- ent well, on the site of which haS been erected a beautiful memorial surmounted by the figure of an angel in white marble. Nana Sahib, who tied before the arrival of the -British troops, was never captured, anti thus escaped the exemplary punishment which was so eelentlesslY• and so deservedly inflict- ed on those of his followers who fell into the hands of the white soldier.. Handling the Strawberry Plants At this season of the year every effort should be put forth to encour- age the growth of the newly set strawberry plantation. Results ob- tained by the Horticultural Division of the Central Experimental Farm, (sot. report Horticultural Division, 1921) show conclusively the ex- treme importance of -having the. young pleats rooted at an early date. Endeavor to get a full stand of plante by the middle of September, - and then keep all new runners cut off. Eaeli litth: plant in 0 matted row should have at least 4 or 5 inches of epeete to avoid overcrowding. The tatrly formation of the run- ners can be encouraged by ale 1'a- ttier:11 of the blossoms, by frequent cultivating and applications of a nit- roceenoue fertilizer if the eoil is at all deficient in this element. , Further work with fertilizers in 11924-1925 has shown the importanee of haying a considerable amount of !nitrogen available in September.
