The object of this department Is to place at the service of our farm readers the advice of an acknowl- edged authority on all subjects.partaining to soils and crops. Address all questions to Professor Henry G. Bell, In care of The Wilson Publishing Company, Limited, To. roato, and answers will appeer In this column in the order In which they are received. As space is limited it Is Advisable where Immediate reply Is necessary that a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with the question, when the answer will be mailed direct, Question—C. H. :.,—,I have n piece of red clay land and for years I have tried either corn or oats or something and it always fails to catch, then turn the stock in the remainder of the sea- son. What is the best way to get it seeded? Which kind of clover should I sow? The land is high and dry, and most always is so hard one cannot cul- tivate it. It has lots of Canadian thiptle on it. • Answer:—Evidently you have been unfortunate iu working your clay land at the wrong -lime. Clay must not be worked while it is too wet else it will break down and puddle, preventing circulation of both air and water in the oil When you can roll a ball of clay in your hand, and on striking it with your finger, it breaks into several parts, the land is ready to plow. If, however, it is sticky like putty, do not work it. If left until it is too dry, it will break into hard clumps like bricks, which means a tad seed -bed. Some farmers, after plowing clay soil, leave the furrows to dry out for a day or , two. This is exceedingly bad practice. If the clay soil is in right condition, just enough should be plow- ed so that it can be disked or harrowed the same day. It will help your soil to apply about 1,000 pounds per acre of air -slaked burnt lime. Scatter this on the soil and harrow it in carefully. The lime will correct the sourness of the soil and will make the texture of the seed -bed better. Any kind of clover should do well on this soil. When you have produced a good seed- bed, I would advise drilling in barley or oats at the rate or about a binhel and a half per acre and at the same time seeding the ground to a mixture of clovers, making sure, however, that you have used good grass and clover seed Xis order to lasure n goocl catch of grass, put on 200 pounds of fertilizer at the time of seeding. It will be well to apply' the lime at least two weeks previous to sowing the grain and grass seed. The fertilizer should analyze about 2% ammonia, 8 to 10% phosphoric acid and possibly 1% pot- ash. It is available plantfood and will give strength to the young oats and clover the same as whole milk helps the growing cattle. Question—J. S.:—We have a nine - acre field that had sod plowed under three years ago; it was cropped twice with corn and once with oats. This spring I put it into ensilage corn, and want to seed it next spring. As this field was never matured much I won- dered if there was anything I could sow to get a good catch of clover the last time cultivating, to plow under as green manure this fall. This field is partly low, black soil. Answer:—I would adnise you to ap- ply 200 to 250 pounds- of fertilizer analyzing 1 to 2% ammonia. and 8 to 10% phosphoric acid. This will, ma- terially help your corn and at the same time will supply available plantfood to start off your clover vigorously. If the soil is at all Boum—that is, if you can see moss or sheep sorrel growing in the field—I would advise you to scatter ground limestone over the field at once at the rate of a ton per acre. This should be worked into the soil as you cultivate the corn and will sweeten it so that conditions will be proper for the growth of clover. The ground limestone will nolonaterially help the corn, but will safeeten the soil. Market Calendar. The culling of non -layers from the flock should be continued throughout July. The season of high production is over and at the high price of feed, it does not pay to keep hens as board- ers throughout the summer. Sell in July old hens, broilers, green ducks and old ducks. Heat is the great enemy of eggs, both fertile and infertile. Follow these simple rules, which cost nothing but time and thought, and you will add dollars to the poultry yard re- turns: Keep the nests clean; provide tine nest for every four hens. Gather the eggs twice daily. Keep the eggs in a cool, dry room or cellar. Market the eggs at least twice a week. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching Ts over, With poultry costs so high, why not keep an accurate account of the it- ceipts and expenditures ? A simple way to keep track of the grain used is &dike &Oil& Ji to build a supply bin in the poultry house. The grain can be easily weighed and the amount recorded each time the bin is filled. A tabulated sheet tacked upon the side of the bin may also be used for recording the egg yield and receipts. The poultry house should be placed away from other farm buildings where the drainage is good. Dampness is very dangerous and the floor of the poultry house must be higher than the outside soil. A house should never be less than fourteen feet deep and four square feet of floor space should be allowed to each bird. When a cement floor is used in the house it should be made in creases to prevent the hens from slipping. Don't build the houses too high or it will be difficult to keep the birds warm. By using one-fourth -inch mesh wire on the windows the wire will break the wind and keep out sparrows. Little pigs that are given plenty of exercise will not over- eat. Feed all they will eat up clean of a well-balanced growing ration; if they will eat what is put before them they are not being overfed. A Woodland Quarrel. Reddy Squirrel was having an after- noon nap in his cosy home, deep in the heart of an old chestnut tree. Mrs. Squirrel was out for a little airing, and had left Reddy to mind the babies while she was gone. The little fel- lows were sleeping so quietly that there seemed no good reason why Reddy should. not have a nap, too. His sleep had been badly broken of late by one of the babies that was having trouble with its teeth. So he curled up in a fat red ball and in seven winks was sound asleep. Ra tete t-ta t-tr-r-es-r-rt ! That was the noise that made Reddy Squirrel wake up with a sudden start. He raised his head and listened hard. What could it have been? A moment later he heard it again. Rat-tatetat-tr-r-r-ii-rt! Then Reddy Squirrel knew very well what the noise was. He had heard it many times in the forest, It Was Downy Woodpecker drilling a hole in the bark of the old chestnut. Reddy Squirrel was very cross when he jthap- ed out of bed and ran to the door of his house. "Go away from here!" he Chattered, as he pushed his head outside. "What do you mean by such noises on the hank of my tree?" Rat-taintatetr-r-r-r-rt! answered Downy Woodpecker, as ho pushed his long, barber tongue into a hole in the, bark and Milled out a choice morsel, "Go away, I say!" chattered Reddy Squirrel, louder than before. "You will wake up the babial" "You seem to be the only one to Ivaco up so earl" retorted Downy of the wood folk will punish him for Woodpalca v, iosd his tones, Were just., as unfriendly as those of Reddy Squir- rel. "And don't bother me, for I'm busy getting dinner." "Well, aren't there trees enough for you without trying to knocI mine to pieces?" asked Reddy Squirrel. "This is not your tree," replied Downy Woodpecker. "One of my cousins used to have a home here long before you came along. Moreover, you come to my tree for nuts when you feel like it, and only the other day you frightened my family almost out of their wits when you were climbing round there." So they scolded and argued, but they got nowhere at all. And meanwhile the baby squirrels woke op and cried, and Downy Woodpecker made no fur- ther progress toward getting his din- ner, It was Reddy Squirrel who finally put an end to the quarrel. "I'll tell you what l'Irdo," he said at last. "If you will not come to my tree to drill for your dinner, I will not go to your tree for nuts or to harm your family. In that way things will be much more pleasant all round:" "Agreed!" said Downy Woodpecker. "That is a sensible arrangement. Why not go father than that? Why not get all the squirrels and woodpeckers in the forest to live up to the same ar- rangement? There are trees enough for all of us," "Very well," agreed Reddy Squir- rel. 'I will see all my cousins at once, and you Must explein the plan to all the woodpeckers. Mys. it will lie flue to gap in peace hereaftal" That is the way the quarrel between the squirrels and the Woodpeckers, a quarrel of very long stariding, came to an ehd in the big :forest.

By Henry G. With maximum spring wheat yields both in this metiy and in the ;United Statee, the total production for 1917 will total about 1,132,7611,000 bushels. Estimating OSS bushels of wheat per capita for home consumption there is a remainder for shipment abroad from both countries of only about 339,000,- 000 bushels. The figures for spring wheat of aura are entirely prob- lematic. Full reports have not been published as to the probable area seed- ed to spring wheat in North America and weather conditions in some parts of the continent are none too favor- able. There will be a demand for every bushel of wheat that this contin- ent can produce. There is consider- able talk of price guarantee at 0-50 a bushel or over. Wheat at a dollar a bushel is profitable; what the farmer gets more than this makes wheat growing all the more profitable. The time for reseeding winter wheat is but three months distant. Every- thing possible should be done to in- sure a good successful seeding next autumn, High Points of Wheat Culture. Wheat thrives best when fed "to the limit". The plantfood of good sub- stantial soil should be supplemented. Well rotted manure worl:ed into the seed bed supplies considerable food. Big results are being obtained by drill- ing in 200 to 300 pounds per acre of fertilizer at the time the wheat is seeded. For an average wheat soil this plantfood should carry from 2 to 3% ammonia, about 8% available Phosphoric acid and 1 to 2% potash. The ammonia gives the young plants a quick start. Phosphoric acid as- sists the root growth of the young crop while the potash gives the plant disease -resistance and general vigor. All three do for the young wheat crop what whole milk does for the young calf. Wheat does best on a well-prepared, I rnedbam loam soil. The big thing that the crop needs first is moisture. No plantfood can enter the wheat crop unless it is dissolved in the soil water and root juices. Possibly you are planningssto summer -fallow land in preparation for wheat. If this is the case, be sure to keep the surface of the summer-fallowed land tilled suf- ficiently often to kill all the weeds and Bell, Agronomist. Your winter wheat will probably folloW early oats. If such are your plans, be sure to plow the oat stubble as early es possible after the oats are harvested. The growing oats shaded the surface of the soil from direct sunlight and to that extent pre- vented the escape of soil moisture by evaporation. As soon as the oats crop is harvested this shade is remov- ed and enormous quantities of water escape that should supply the crops that follow. For this reason get plows and disks into the oat field as soon as possible after the oats are cut. If the ground is fairly mellow do not plow too deeply. Three to five inches should be sufficient. As soon as the soil is plowed have it disked and if it has not worked into a smooth seed bed follow the disking with a rolling and then with a light harrowing. If you have not a sufficient supply of seed write your experiment station at the earliest opportunity and inquire where you can locate the seed you wish. Do not leave this until late in the season, but let your inquiry be in the hands of the experiment station by the time the crop is harvested. It may be necessary to delay wheat seeding a week or ten days to escape the attack of the first Mend of the Hessian Fly. If so, be sure to use at least the maximum amount of fertiliz- er advised in order to give the young wheat the additional vigor that will enable it to recover from the effects of late planting. In order to combat wheat smut spread the seed on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with a solution of one ponncl of formalin to forty gallons of water. Shovel the grain while sit, is being sprinkled and when it is completely dampened cover it with a pile of sacks, so as to keep the gas in, among the seed as long as possible: Profits in Wheat Growing. If wheat maintains anything near present prices, (and there is good rea- son to believe that it will do so) it is surely going to pay the Canadianfarm- erto give more attention to this import- ' ant crop. A bushel and a half of good ' seed is sufficient for an acre. The preparation of the seed -bed requires the major amount of labor given to this crop. Once the wheat is started it needs no further care until harvest time. Harvesting labor may be short, but remember that the crop which yields the heaviest makes inost effici- ent use of farm labor. Furthermore, remember that the leading experiment stations of North America have de- monstrated beyond a doubt the profits of abundantly feeding the young 1wheat crop with suitable fertilizers. preserve a surface dust mulch. If you allow the soil to pack and harden, as it doee after a heavy rain, enorm- ous quantities of water will escape by evaporation and your soil will be shorter of water when wheat seeding comes than it would have been if it had grown a large crop this summer. The point is—keep the surface of the summer followed soil stirred. Put a pair of old cultivator wheels on the front end of the hog chute and it can be moved from one pen to an- other in half the time and with less work.

Meat, milk, butterfat and wool con- stitute a great reserve force in our preparedness campaign. Less crossing of breeds is respon- sible for fewer spottedswine than were common several years ago. One breed to a farm and one standard—the best —are pushing the swine industry ahead. Drying Fruits and Vegetables Man's primitive effort to avail himself of nature's gift in conserving and storing of foods for winter use was by sen -drying. In many parts of Europe this method alone is used in caring for the abundant harvests. To success- fully dry fruits and vegetables a drier is essential. A small one may be, constructed at home, This will enable the housewife to bring it indoorelii case of sudden storm. By the drying process the housekeeper can take care of all surplus foods for which she cannot find cans or jars. Small quantities can be dried daily, these may be ground with meal or flour and made into palatable bread, entailing little work. Peas, beans and corn may be dried, and, if the necessity should arise, How To Dry Peas. Shell peas, spread on tray of the drier, place in the sun or a place where a strong current of air will strike the drier. At first have a single layer of peas. After the drying has commenced several trays may be thrown together. Peas should be dried ontil, when one is dropped upon a plate or table, it gives off a hollow sound. This usually will be accomplished in three to five days. It is possible to dry vegetables and fruits arid even beef in this way. After the peas are thoroughly dried they must be cared for in a manner that will insure their keeping qualities. It is necessary to make bags of cheeseclotb. Place the dried peas in these bags, wrap in newspaper, then again in a piece of cheesecloth. Now give the bag' a coat of whitewash, taking.care to apply it thoroughly about the string -end of the bag. Hang by strung from ceiling in dry, cool store- room or cellar, or they may be packed in an old washboiler. . Clean old pillow slips or other pieces of muslin may be used in place of the cheese- cloth. A good size to make bags is..8 by 12 inches. Beans may be dried by the same method.

A woman should rise to greet a man if she is the hostess or when a man much older than herself is presented to her, espec- ially if he is distinguished in any way or is a elergyman. Under ordinary circumstances a woman need not rise when a man is introduced to her, but it is gracious and courteous for her to rise to greet an old acquaintance, whether man or woman.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON JULY 1. [1 GENEROSITY] TRAIN THEIN CHILDREN . . , ,,. "1 am worried," said Another re- eently to the writer, "becauee my lit- tle sop is so selfish, Ho'w can I teach him to be generbus ?" Well, selfishness is a problem, I'll admit, but happily it is not unsolvable. That selfish little boy of a worried mother can be made generous to a fault (if such a thing is possible),if she will, for a time, labor unceaeingly, with faith, patience and tact. There are, of course, some children who are what we call "naturally" eel - fish, while others are naturally the op- posite; but I think intelligent mothers will agree with me that the average child is orgirially neither one nor the other, and that his early training de- terminies his standing. However, even the 'inaturally selfish" child is far from being hopelessly selfish. All he needs is help to a different attitude of mind if he has ever had any serious thoughts about the subject at all— which he probably hasn't. The youngster of tender years, say from the first cry to five years, does not readily comprehend that others be- sides himself may desire things in- tensely. Yet I have seen a year -and - a -half -old child give up a toy smiling- ly, not once, but several times in suc- cession to his various relatives, who delighted in putting him through the generosity test. This dear little smile was the result of his young mother's Patient training and constant. watch- fulness for "psychological moments," as it were, for the teaching of unsel- . Do not force a child to be generous —that is, to give up its possessions un- wi ing y. Such a e . a great mistake, for it makes the child resent- ful, besides giving him an unbeautiful, idea of a beautiful virtue. Forced giv- ing is likely to be felt as an unmitigat- ed and unjust deprivation. The bet- ter way is to educate little folk up to the point where they find happiness in giving, in Making others happy. Do not fail to call attention to this hap- piness when the child has performed a generous action, thus impressing it on the young mind and heart. Stories of generesity are ahvays helpful both in training young people to be generous or in that greater prob- lem—the one overcoming any selfish- ness that may have been allowed to develop. Is there anything finer than the spirit with n ic 1 LouisaAlcott's dear "Little Women" give away their Very delicious breakfasts to a nearby poor family? This charitable incid- ent is especially appreciated when one knows that it really happened iri young Louisa's own life. Other stories. especially good for instilling generos- ity are "The Three Cakes and "The King of the Golden River." The life of Peter Cooper will be enjoyed by . the older children. The poor little only child is always in danger of becoming selfish from the sheer lack of opportunities to share toys and goodies with other children. Consequently it is wise to encourage the sisterless, braherless ones to seek companionship among other chil- 1 dren and to invite those companions into your house or garden Where mo- ther -eyes may be upon them. It is lamentable, but true, that some mothers deliberately make children selfish. What do you think of the wo- man who gives her little girl two cakes after school accompanied by the re- ! mark, "Now do keep them for your- self and don't feed the whole neigh- borhxooto dl'' only should children be taught to give; they should be taught to give graciously. Many a shining gift has lost its radiance because of the man- ner with which it was presented. The "gifting spirit" is a lovely thing which glorifies even the passing on of an which may be seen everywhere in na- ad garment.
