It 'atfectEelneee than ite,main pUrPotio of cutting off the side of the furrow slice so that the shin of the moldboard will not have to ter its way through the round, coneequently permitting the plow_ to do a nide, emooth job and ma- terially lightening the draft. One of the rnarke of a peer Job of plowing is unevenness or where the furrows made the same round can not always be plainly diatinguished. Some-. times this IS because the plow is aot running level. • At other times one bottom is a little too high or low, dee to variation in the shape of the beams. Or -the front furrow wheel is regular- ly run against the furrow bank when it is suppoeed to run at least two inches away from it. But the mot common fault is that the operator for- gets that each bottom turns over the soil that the colter allots it, no more and no less. They cannot be set in a haphazard manner, but exactly the sarne with reepect to each bottom ex- cept for the ono instance which I will mention later. , • Practically all plow instructions eve three-quarters of an inch as the proper, distance rto set the colter away ftorn the shin of the, moldboard. This insures a elean furrow wall and the nunimem friction on, the landside. There is. often- difficulty in deterrnin- ing this dishanee after it ie known to be correct. The following method is commonly used by manufacturers' plow experts when getting a ploW ready -to enter a competitive demon- stration: Take a planed fence board three feet long and Six inches wide. It will be nearly three-quarters of an inch thick. Lay it against the land- , side so that it extends forward be, yond the point of the share and raised juet enough above the point so that it Ilea flat against the landside. Hold in thie position by placing the -right foot againet- it„ -Now edjust the, colter eo that its blade lies flat against the out-, side of the board. Do tine with each bottem in turn and you will have no variation 00 far as the coltere are con- cerned. A, puzzling problem eornetimes comes up in the cage a a three-batom plow following, a standard -type trac- tor which does not run in the furrow. In spite of all that is done, the middle bottom will turn a furroW which is lower than the others. The reason will generally be found in the fact that the middle bottom follows the eight drive wheel and because the dirt loos- ened by the grouters rolls into the furrow, leaving the middle furrow Slice apparently lower than the 'others. The remedy is to set the middle colter a trifle farther out. • In sod plowing the celtere should be set deep enough to cut off most of the roots, but not deep enough to M- terfere with the penetration of the plow. In stubble ploWing there is no necessity of running them more ethan three melee deep, evert in deep plow- ing. In cornstalk ground especially, the stalks and other trash will not be cut satisfactorily,when the colters are set eo deep that they will simply push the trash ahead instead of running over and cutting through it. The colter axle should be directly above or a trifle back of the point of the share, The colter blades must be sharpened from time to time to give best results. It is well to remember that it is cheap- er and better to pay the cost of sharp- ening the shares and colters than to pay for the fuel necessary to pull dull tools through the ground. Ontario s Better Live Stock Train By L. Stevenson, Secretary and Supervising Director, On- tario Dept. of Agriculture. The Ontario Better Live Stock Train of 1923 was organized by the officials of the Live Stock Branch of the Ontario Department of Agrictil- ture, assisted by the officials of the following organizations: Dominion Department of Agriculture, Industrial and Development Council of Meat Packer, Ontario Live Stock Associa- tion, the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the Canadian National Railway. • The train was made up of sixteen cars, eleven of which carried live stock for demonstration and Fiala: A lecture car and staff, maintenance Cars com- • pleted the train. During Meech the train made twenty-one all -day etops (9 am. to 10 pen.) and twelim half-day stops. Due, ing April, twenty-one all -day stops and fotir half -clay stops were made. The total number of actual. farmers visiting the train during the period was 37,600. The number of school children that 'were conducted through the train by officials and teachers was 6,500. Lecturers, _demonstrators and salesmen were continuously en duty in the various cars, and dealt with the varied inquiries of the visitors. EDUCATIONAL FEATURES. The swine cars were specially fitted to make demonstrations in mine grad- ing possible, and give the- farmer throughout the province a clear idea of the type and conformation required for the different grades of hogs under the new grading regulations. Repre- sentative hogs, with the corresponding cured Wiltshire sides, were used.. in this demon_stration. For the conven- ience of farmers desirous of purchas- ing young breeding stock of the bacon producing type, a carload of boars and sows from six to eight months of age was included'in the train. Many sales were made, and good type young breeding stock left the train for new hoines at every stop. The supply of stock was- replenished at various points along the line of travel by pre- vious arrangement. ' POULTRY EDEIDNG. The poultry car was fitted out ta deinonstrate the most appeoved meth- ods of selecting, feeding, housing and peeparing poultry and poultay pro-' ducts for market. In the exhibit were included live birds showing desirable types for egg prodaction and also those for meat production. Culling demon- strations werre given throughout the day, being illustrated 'with Jiving specimens and skeletone. Models of poultry houses and equipment, and of hatching and brooding devices, occu- pied a ptorninerit position in the ex- hibit, Poultry nutretion was illus- trated in an attractive way through the use of colored transparencies, giv- ing rations used in chick rearing, and the results. The Canadian Egg Standard was well illustrated by a, continuous candling and grading de- monstration, killing and plucking, as done by the expert in charge, was a revelation to many, as the loosened feathers were stripped from the bird in the short space of one Minute, nAMYING. The dairy cow ear contained good grade cows, eepreeentiag the Malachi, Seasey, Ayrshiee aed Shorthorn breeds. These animals were selected to show the influence ef pure bred balls, and demonatrate the high de, gree of excellence that may be ob- tallied by careful., breeding: Demon- strations and lectures were given on thoe Owe, with special cenphaeie on type and conforinatiem 00 assbelated with high clao cattle, Ayrshire, /Iola stein, Jersey, and Gurbsey bulls weeel Offeted for sale at cog.

A numbet of yoling bulle Wore eold it the vaeimie stope, A dairy lecture _ - Was given each afternoon in the lee- taimecar, dealing with feeds, herd im- proven-if-11V and the rearing of young' same AND woore. In the sheep and wool car, a very attractive exhibit was presented, pre- pared by the Provincial live stock men, co-operating with the wool grow- ers, the breeders and the woollen mills, Typical fleeces of the 'principal grades -of Canadian wool were shown and used in cleirionstrating the various grades, classes and purposes for which each was used. The preparation of wool for market was •strongly em- phasized. Samples of cloth, knitted goods, blankets and yarn made from Canadian wool from Canadian mille, were shown and described. A num- ber of live sheep were carried and suitably dis-played, emphasizing the best breed types and market classes. Lectures were given on breeds'breed- ing, judging, and the care and man- agement of the flock, Two pens, one showing the progeny of a good type pure bred ram and another showing the progeny of a grade ram, attracted considerable interest through the les- son of superior lambs from the pure bred sire. A full line of shepherd's tools and'eheepfold requirements was shown,- and explanations or demon- strations in the use eof same were given by the officials in charge. , BEEF'CATTLE. The beef cattle exhibit consisted of O display of steers illustrating market grades and type improvement through the use of pure bred sires. The On- tario Agricultural College supplied a number of animals from a breeding experiment that has been, under way during to past two years, so that the farmers of the Province could see for themselves the result of good greeding, coupled with proper care, feeding and management, From the five cars of bulls for sale, niany sales were made.

The Removal and Care of Comb Honey. If the ^honey floor is heavy and, of long cluration,the greater part of the crop can be renioved before the flow is over. It is, better to retrieve the supers of sections as they are finished es this prevents travel stain and propolizinge It is comparatively easy to remeve !supers during the flow as thereis little danger Nom robber bees. A's the' flow declines the comb honey producer, must m'ive extra supers sparingly la order to have as many sections finished' as possible before the flow stops. ley 'fact' it may be neces- sary to reduce the number of eupers. It is not well tO leave a super on at this timeqintil all the sections are fin- ished as they may become travel Btain- ed. It is better to remove the finished sections and concentrate the unfinish- ed sections to as few' supers as pos- sible. At the flow is drawing to a close the unfinished sections should be given to the best finishing colonies. When the sections are finished in the central rows they can be replaced by unfinished ones from the outside. It is well to remove all the sections be- fore the flow ceases altogether. As soon as the supers are removed by means of bee -escapes they should be taken th the honey -house, and care used to prevent robbing. Sections that are only partially filled and capPed can usually be disposed of locally at a profit but those containing only a small amount of IfOney can be piled up near the apiary and the bees al- lowed to empty them. These empty sections can be used as bait eections next year. Comb honey should be stored in a warm dry room th prevent spoiling. If exposed to great variations in temp- erature, moisture may condense on the surfaCe of the cappings, and the honey will abseals or it may granu- late in the comb. If expoeed to freez- ing the combs will crack and the honey leak.' The temperature of the room should not go lower than 70 deg. F., and is better if maintained between 80 and 90 deg. 'F. • Section honey that, Is well refined can be stored in the super a until ready for shipment. The supers should be tiered up in close piles, closed at the top and bottom; it will keep much bete tor and also Maintain its aroma. There is also less danger from wax moths. Some beekeepers find it necessary to fumigate to control this pest. • Comb honey is usually put up in single cartons or in cases holding 24 s".6ctions.. Before placing the sectione in the cartons or cases the wood must be scraped free of propolis' tend stain. Any sectioas that are leaking should not be packed. ' "Kraut or picicle kege and tubs are cleaned: thus," 'Writes a subscriber: "I nee plenty of hoRing water, in which ,bicarbonate 01! soda is dissolved (one- fourth pound of socla to a gallon of water). 'After the kegs have been well scalded, I place themin the sun for several clays, then go over the in- side of the keg or tub with' melted paro-wax or pdraffin. This makes the • keg perfectly sweet inside and keeps it from leaking." POULTRY For several yeare paet, the lead value and medieinal qualitlea of yearit have been. conetently before ue.

"Up to four years ago I lived on a farm where we had a large spring, and to which we attached a hydraulic., ram," says" J. A.' Studt. "This ram -worked year in end year otit without , any. expense. - "When I deft that farm and built O new house we had to use a different kind of water system, for we had no spring on the new faxen, and we final- ly decided to use the compressed air system, which has been very satisfac- tory. In the four years we haye had our eysteln it has cost us about $20, which,I feel is small," Compressed air systems are of vari- ous forms. Some employ 'kirpressure by pumping water into a tank, filling It about two-thirds full of water, which compresses the air to about one- third its volume. This will give a pressure sufficient to force water over sixty feet high. Other systems are built so as th compress air in a tank „which operates a pneumatic pump in the well, cistern or spring. • If electric power ie available any of these water systems can be oPeeat- ed automatically. When the water is drawn out, which reduces the pres- . sure, the electric motor' starts up and gees on until the water is shut off. If electric current is not available, a small gas engine will accompfish the astine results, but without the auto- inatic feature. The gas engine can be started whenever the preesure goes down to a,certain point. The gas en- gine San be made partly automatic by arranging to have a certain presdure in the tank cut off the ignition when the pressure gets up to the required point. -R, B.

Three teaspoonfuls to ,a quart of water is the right strength, and give four ounces of this solution to each mature ewe that weighs 100 pounds or more. For a smaller animal, more or less weak, use not more than three ounces, and for a five -months -old' lamb, use not more than two ounces. . We had a good galvanized tOelve- quart pail that got jammed and the re -enforcing wire around the top was broken on one side, The pail was saved for further use and made to fill a real want on the place by: soldering an ordinary tin funnel over this break. It is used almost every day for water- ing the chickens, filling the radiator, and foa many other purposes. To 'pre- vent undue strain, and additional ser- vice, two tin straps were soldered on, for braces.

Crows are usually unpopular birds, The eharp twinkle of their eYe, their plumage and their estounding intelli- gence, have given them a prcrainent place in tile myths and legends of eyery lead. In ell times and countriee man hae . . regarded crows with Buperstyhous awe. Odin took them for his heralds and counselors, 'but eduld not tenet them, and they blabbed the seesets of Valhalla. They were the ecandal- mongers of Olympus, and to theie evil tonguee poor Connie owed her death. Indra, in wrath at their tale -bearing, hurled them down through all the hun- dred steiges of his heaven. They would have disclosed to his enemies the hid- ing place of Mohanatied, but the dove built her nest and the spider open her web to hide it. It was, satisfacterily eetablishect by the old 'writers that the CYOWS got their blackness in punishment' for their sins. It seems to have been a futile punishment, for there is. no l'ving thing that shows in its de. meanor less evidence of repentant epirit. Instead of being ashamed of their blackness, Crowe, as an Indian writer has said, "swagger in it, and pretend that they chose that exact shade for themeelves.". The color of crovve before they were smitten black is uncertain. It is a strange fact that they areemost closely allied tO the jays and magpies on one hand, and birds of paradise on the other, so the possibilities are infinite. But the classical :legend that they stveile originally white gains some sup- port from the frequency with which albinoa appear among all kinde of crows. The voices of almost every member of the crow farnily have in their very harshness an unbirdlike and partly human quality that could not fail to impress the primitive imagination. Tri spite of the common idea that -crows do nothing but caw, the Old augerers recognized no less than sixty -live in- tonations of the raven's voice, each with its special significance. From the ringing Rahkl rahicl rahla of the hooded crow, the Swedes have borrow- ed their., fierce cheer, the finest battle cry possessed by any people. Nearly all the true crows as well ; as many of their near relatives, will pick up more or less of human speech in 'captivity; and it is sometimes hard to believe that the slyness With which they invest their reinarks, their apt- ness and intonation, are altogether accidental. . Eat Vegetables for Vitamins. • By L. F. Burrower Secretary, Can- adian liortichitueal Council. . . uomparatively recent is the addition of the word "Vitamin" to OUT vocabu- lary, and even though the use of the -word is now common, its meaning is not yet -understood. Physecians have long- recogniied theValue 'Of vege- tables in the ;daily diet and we are no* tad' that this value dies largely in the fact that they contain vitamins, and that, vitamins are necessary to life. Some vegetables contain greater quantities and of different kinds than others. Three distinct kinds of vita - mina have been named "A," "B" and ac.e Vitamin "A" is a rrlysterieus ele- ment in food, without whith children cannot grow, but which grown folks also need. Shortage of vitamin "A" leads to disease of the eye, skin, and kidneys, and may cause bad teeth, diarrhoea, pellagra and other ail- ments. As a rule, seeds of all kinds are rather deficient in vitamin "A.," although green peas contain appreci- able amounts. Leafy plants, on the other hand, are valuable foods in this regard. Spinach and chard are prob- ably the richest of the cominon leafy foods iri this element; lettuce ranks next, with cabbage holding third place. The robts and tubers vary, sweet potatoee and carrots ranking first, while white or Irish potatoes contain but a small amount, and it is doubtful if beets, rutabagas and parsnips con-; thin appreciable amounts. Tomatoes,' however, are very rich in vitamin "A" and Hubbard equash is also a valuable source. Little work has been. done on the fruits, but there is evidence that apples, bananas and oranges contain small amounts of this yitatnin. Vitamin "13" is guardian of good digestion mid proper functioning of the liver and other glands, This vita- min is found in the germ'and •branny portion of cereals. In the milling of wheat, however, this vitamin is so completely rsenoved that the best, grades of flour are entirely lacking.' This does not mean that we should condemn the white breads, starchy i food, white rico, etc.; t merely means that we must choose our foods intelligently and eat more vegetthlea. Potatoes, sweet and white, contain appreciable amounts of vitamin "IV 1 although the turnip and onion are' more valuable in this regard. The beet; root contains a fair amount, although ils derives appear to be 'much richer.1 Thio vitamin ie also found in the to mato, cabbage, spinach, lettuce, para.. i of Appeti ..'lliquoA..pdr take Ilood'e FleigiaPtt4„ That Tired Feeilo 111115 as their tonic medicine for that lewd, uerveae weelcoefea ha. , pare blood, and teetily that, IS aesekee them feel bake', eat and (deep leettee,',*.
