question, when the answer will be mailed direct.
Questions --TP. A. L.:—W1tat is the
best way for putting fertilizer on for
potatoes and how much fertilizer
would you put on a quarter of an acre?
Should the fertilizer be mixed with
earth before the potatoe, are put in
or would it be all right put in the
hills with the seed? I have just read
it would burn seed.
Answer:—Two hundreds pounds of
fertilizer to the qu,a:tor-acre is a mod-
erate application for potatoes. This
fertilizer should analyze 2% ammonia,
8 to 10% available phosphoric acid and
1 to 2% potash, if obtainable.
In applying this, scatter 100 pounds
over the quarter -acre when the ground
been orplowed. The has 1 ce dug
harrow-
ing or raking of the ground will work
this available plant£ood into the soil.'
When the holes or drills for the pota-
toes are made, scatter the remaining
hundred pounds of fertilizer in a light
dust along the potato furrows, or into
the holes where the potatoes are to be
dropped. Cover this with a light
dusting of soil before dropping the
potato pieces. There is no danger of
fertilizers burning seed if care is tak-
en to mix the soil and fertilizer ad
described. • Wheenthe foregoing has
been done, drop the seed and cover as
usual. It is 'sometimes found highly
advantageous to scatter another light
application of- fertilizers around the
potato hills or along the rows when
the plants aro up two or three inches.
This can be worked into the soil when
the potatoes are cultivated.
Question—W. W. L.:—Please send
me full particulars hew to treat pota-
toes before planting to prevent top
blight.
Answer:—No pre -planting treat-
ment can be given to potatoes to pre-
vent blight. If possible, make sura
that the potatoes being used for seed
were not produced on a field that has
been infected with blight. The blight
winters in the tubers, and sends its
fine threads up through the stalks
where they'•flower on the surface of
the leaves of the plant. When the
disease matures it sends out large
quantities of tiny spores. When these
spores light on other damp potato
plants, they infect the other plants
with late blight disease. To prevent
this the potato grower should spray
his orop with Bordeaux mixture five
to seven times during the growing sea-
son. Begin as soon as potato plants
are up three or four inches and spray
at intervals of 10 days to two weeks.
Bordeaux mixture is composed of 6
lbs. of lime, 6 lbs. of copper sulphate
and 60 gallons of water. Dissolve
the lime and the copper sulphate)
separately, then mix and dilute with
the water.. Apply the Bordeaux mix-
ture immediately, since the mixed ma-
terial will not retain its strength if
allowed to stand any length of time.
The dissolved lime -
and dissolved `co
n cop-
per sulphate may be stored un -mixed,
and just sufficient for the spraying
mixed up at the times desired. The
proper quantities can easily be calcul-
ated from the mixture given above.
To prevent scab and to assist in con-
trol of the spores• of other diseases, it
is beneficial to dip potatoes in a mix-
ture of corrosive sublimate, one part
to a thousand, by weight: Dissolve a
tablet in a quart of water, or an ounce
ii 30 quarte_of water, and soak the
potatoes for two hours. This material
is veey poisonous and must be handled
with great care. Potatoes which
have been treated should never be nsed
for human or animal food.
You can prevent potato scab by
soaking the potatoes in a solution of
one pint of formalin to 30 gallons of
water. They should remain in the
solution about 20 minutes. Formalin
is a gas dissolved in water. It kills
the spores on the surface of the pota-
to but does not injure the food value.
Question—C. D. E,:—Is fertilizer
that has been stored up in a dry shed
for two years as good as fresh fertil-
izer?
Answer:—If the fertilizer has been
stored in a dry place, it will not have
lost plantfood through storage. How-
ever, before you use it, you should
empty it out on a hard floor and
break it up by pounding, after which it
should be shoveled through a sand
screen. This will put it in good con-
dition for drilling. •

Pointers on Marketing.
Most of the market poultry sold
le marketed in about one-sixth of the
year, that is, in the autumn. As a,
result prices suddenly fall when farm-
ers are about ready to sell. The con-
gestion means that part of it must be
put into cold storage, and produce
once stored does not bring so high a
price. as the fresh, quality. This
means lowered prices for the farmer.
The remedy lies with the producer.
Ile should distribute his produce over
more of the twelve months than he
does. To do this requires different
methods of handling his poultry than
he has practised hi the past. For
instance, instead of keeping the spring
thiels all summer,, some of them
might bo marketed throughout the
season as broilers, Broilers bring
two or three tines as much per
pound in May and early June as they
would bring as roaastersnht the fall.
Broilers aro chickens weighing un-
der 2% pounds. The best way to
feed broilers is to give a palatable
mash in a clean yard, mix the mash
with milk if possible, give some green
food and keep everything clean and
the chicles free from lice.

Hens that have completed their
aecond laying winter and have passed
through the breeding season, should
be marketed as soon as the breeding
season is over rather than be kept un-
til the fall.
Hens in June or July bring from 50
to 100 per cent. more than they do in
October because they are then the
only roasters on the market.
Green ducks, that is, ducks that
have just completed their first coat of
feathers, should be marketed early
rather than be kept until fall, The
Experimental Farm at Ottawa re-
ports that 65 young clucks sold at 10%
weeks of age brought on the local
market about 200 per cent. more than
it cost to feed them, or in other words
they cost for feed $20 and at 101
weeks of age they brought $00.

fall did not pay for the cost of feed.

The Educational Value of Music—The Power of Modern Musica
Instruments to Reproduce and Intrepret the Old Masters.
That some knowledge of music is
essential to a well-balanced life is now
an almost established fact. Music,
let it be ngted, is the instinctive im-
pulse of the human being from the
cradle up, and it reverberates the
world over. It is the adorable gift
of God, which instinctively seeks to
express itself in a manner more funda-
mentally natural, perhaps, than speech
itself .
' Who has not been attracted by the
cooing music of the cradle balm long
ere it sought to utter a word. Does it
seem natural to instinctively crave to
express one's every sense of feeling
in speech? The claims of music for
greater educational" recognition are so
manifold that one wonders that it is
not given more prominence and taught
more thoroughly in our public schools.

Inasmuch as it would be of priceless
value to have such recordings at this
time, present-day pupils and teachers
will find, and some have already found
from experience, that the records
made by some of our eminent artists
of to -day afford possibly unequalled
facilities for acquiring certain phases
of musical knowledge. The teacher
of musical, history when reviewing
epochs and events, giving biographical
sketches of composers and classifying
the different schools and forms of
music, will find the player piano and
phonograph, or either one, invaluable
by demonstrating the record suitable
)for the occasion. When studying
tonal effects of the different instru-
ments, the phonograph record would
indeed be very helpful and highly in -
What magnificent opportunities
there are for the pupils of to -day to
enhance their musical education, as
compared with the hard striving times
of the old masters, who had to content
themselves with such .limited instru-
ments as the old harpsichord. Can
you imagine how manifestly grateful
Bach, Handel and other old masters
would have been had they at their dis-
posal such high grade pianos, as
manufactured to -day, capable of re-
sponding to every emotion? It is dif-
ficalt to,conceive how it was possible
for these old masters to give to the
world such beautiful and immortal
works, handicapped, we might say,
with such inferior instruments. Were
they in possession of such perfected -
instruments as we have to -day, who
could conjecture what undiscovered
form of music might have been handed
s down to us.
From the educational• standpoint
how potential wouldbe the influence
to -day if the wonderful mechanical
niusical instruments, with their ap-
pliances, we now have, existed two

The Story of Rumble and Gruttible.
Rumble and Grumble were the sons
of the Stubbletail Beare, who occupied
a comfortable cave' in the Yellowstone
Reservation. Rumble was stronger
on voice than on his legs, and Grumble
was stronger on his legs than on his
voice, but, anyway, they got along
most amicably and loved each other
as only bear brothers can,
One day,,R. unable and Grumble slip-
ped away from their parents, who
were industriously picking berries, and
started off by themselves. "We will
be perfectly safe," said Rumble, "for,

powerful legs, and everything will be
all right. "Quite sol" growled
Grumble. They were rather well-

from their speech, coming in contact

The sun was hot and the trail taken
by the two little bear cubs very rough
and stony. 11 was not long before
Rumble said his legs were going back
on him, which is another way of say-
ing he was tired. Grumble said never
mind, that his voice was still hearty,
and while they were discussing it a
twist in the trail showed them a lit-
tle mountain burro, fest asleep, with
his head and tail drooping down.
"Why should you not ride, as the two -
legged visitors do, dear brother?" sug-
gested Grumble

Rumble swung bashfully to and fro,
then at Grumble's suggestion climbed
into a tree and dropped Plump ippon
the burro's back. Open flew the
donkey's eyes, up tow his oars. The

a blasphemer and "unrighteous"; one
recalls Plato's great demonstration
that if ever an ideally righteous man
appeared he would be counted as per-
fectly unrighteous and martyred as
such. His disappearance from men's
eyes, and enthronement at God's right
hand—evidenced by the resurrection,
and the mighty works of his Spirit in
his disciples, finally "justified" him.

Take an Interest
If parents would keep the confidence
of their children and understand them,
they must take an interest in their
play.` This does does not mean that
it is enough to watch them play. We
must get their viewpoint, understand
what it means to them and, if possible,
play with them sometimes.
At one time there was no place in
crowded city life for children. Now
the community has recognized that
they have some rights and play-
grounds with kindly supervisors are
growing more and more numerous.
In the country there is the beginning
of development along the same lines.
The nation will be richer in years to
come for thus providing for the play
