• Cultivation of Grovving Crops. the potaimeg being, epaeotl twelve
The cultivation a ereas require6
reasonable care, There le seldom
gain from deep cultivation after the
oroP has beee planted. Such, cultiva-
Wm is neeesseey in preparing. the soil
for oll hoed crops, but if not done
then, later cultivation will riot make
Up far the aeglect. Summer cultiva-
tion should be shallow: sufficient to
destroy weeds and produce a fine sur-
face twitch one to two inches deal).
It may be possible and is' then ad-
visable to narrowthe cultivator and
cultivate deeply the space between the
tows not oecOpied by growing roots,
It should be remembered, however,
that these roots penetrate the soil
towards ethe centre of the row very'
rapidly and frequentobservations are
necessary to determine whether the
feeding roots are being disturbed err
destroyed by cultivation, as so very
often happens. The moist soil below
the loose surface soil • covering is
Where soil bacteria are most active,
and consequently where the inopt plant
food is being liberated, as a result of
which roots will be found in this soil
area in greater abundance than auk -
where else.
Although there seems to be no good
reason for using care in selection of
seed preparation of the soil and fer-
tilizeng to grow a good plant -only to
destroy the roots as soon as they have
grown -yet this is what is very often
done. Root pruning has go far never
been shown to be desirable and, as the
root develo.pment is a big factor In
crop yields, the better chance they
have for development without being
disturbed the better use they can make
of the plant food the eel! contains.
The object et this time is to point out
the desirability of surface tillege by
shellow surface cultivation and wane
against deep culture in the area oc-
eupied by the growing plant. •
Another reason why roots should
not be disturbed more than possible
is because injured roots may not be
able to take up the full moisture re-
quired and wilting may result, bring-
ing about premature maturity; par-
ticularly is this the ease if the wea-
ther is hot and accompanied by drying
winds: •
A depth guide should be used on
the cultivator to avoid too deep cul-
tivation and as the plants grow to-
ward the centre between the rows the
cultivator should be narrowed. The
advent of thehorse hoe or hiller has
marked the gre,atest advanoe in'econ-
omic potato culture of any implement
on the farth. This implement has
made it poeeible to distribute around
the potato, hill a fine earth mulch.slaf-
ficient to kill the weeds, if done when
the weeds are young, and not in any
way disturb the growing roots in the
hill. The tooth cultivator should fol-
low the horse hoe, setting it as clase
as possible, to loosen the hard centre
between the rows in order to protect
the land from drying out, form a loose
sail to quickly absorb rains that may
fall and give fine. soil for subsequent
billing. -
In potato culture the point 'above
mentioned inclicetes the necessity for
reasonable distance between the rows
in order to grew this crop with the
leaet amount of hand hoeing for) if
the rows .are narrow, there is not the
space from which to draw the soil
for billing purposes and the row can-
not be cultivated without doing dam-
age to the feeding roots as there is
not space enough for the cultivator
to work without doing such damage.
Thirty-three inches apart seams to be
the distance most suitable. Tests made
at Kentville tovering a period of' five
years, theluding 16 tests, show that
rows thirty inches apart yielded an
average of 265.6 bushels and those
enobee apart in the row, Ile eystem

Care of the Chicks on }lenge.
The care of the chicks while in the
brooder stage is most important, foe
at that time the largest mortality o0 -
cure, yet the subsequent, oath of the
chicks that have lived through the
broodM tage hos very , much to do
with the someiss or failure of 'the birds
later.
Plenty of heat -Do not gut down the
heat too soon until the chicks are well
feathered, and even after that if the
weather is cold and chatigeoble, they
ill TOgliiT0 'a certain amount of heat,
whether they are raised naturally or
artificially.
Naturally , raisedchicks-The hen
will probably leave the chicks to them-
selves by the time they are feathered,
sometimes even before, and it is well
to have the ehicks 'housed in a fairly
comfortable coop or colony house, so
that when the hen leaves them they
will be quite comfortable and Cah get
along without her.
Artificially raised chicksThe seine
dare as to heat and comfortable rear,
lng quarters should be given to the
chicks that are hatched and reared
artificially, and sometimes even more
care is necess,ary. The tie/novel of the
heat, when nights are still cold, often
results in the chicks becoming chilled,
crowding into a comer and a number
of them being smothered. Those that
survive are mare or less stunted be-
cause of the Mill.
Give them fresh land -It is never
edvisable to rear chiekens in the same
yard or upon the same soil that the
old hens have used. Give them new
soil that is sweet and free from dis-
ease germ% Such a place as a culti-
vated orchard, potato patch, root or
corn field, or in fact any place where
there is a growing crop of such a
nature that they cannot destroy it,
will be an ideal spot for the chicks.
Plenty of shade -During the warm-
er months shade is very important.
This can he provided by the growing
crop, orchard, drubs or even the rais-
ing of the house and in some eases,
along with this, artificial shade made
from boughs or cotton screens is an
advantage.
Feeding -The feeding of a flock of
chicks during the growing season
should not be laborious. Though plenty
of feed is required it may be given
in such a way that the minimum am-
ount of labor is entailed. For this
purpose, hopper feeding is very much
th b
e l•
ecommended. A home-made
hopper in which mbied grains and
mash can be placed and to which the
chicks can have access at all times
insures plenty of teed for the chic,ks
with very little labor on the part of
the attendant. If the chicks are late
and it is necessary to hurry them in
order to get their ,growth in plenty
of time for the fall, a meist mash fed
once 4 day will help them, grid milk
before them at all times is it decided
advantage.
In feeding and caring for the grow-
ing ehicks it should be borne in mind
that the chief aim is to have matured
pullets so that they will commence to
lay before the winter season (tomes, on.
The feeder should keep this in mind
and feed the birds accordingly. Early
hicks may be fed so that they will
-mature too early for hest all-round
production, and though thi4 is an ex-
ception, still it is well to keep in mind
that the pullet. that &tubs laying the
hotter pert of October orthe fleet
of November is usually the pullet that
gives the best yearly production and
cerbainly yields a better revenue than
the pullet that doe's not start laying
until after the season of high prime
thirty-six inches apart 208.1 bushels, for Oggs is over.
The use of dry Mash is becoming
more generally used to clevelep rapid
growth ie chicks. The mash may seem
costly but the amount of (ley stretch
geam can be greatly reduced, Some
of the eomanercial growing mashes are
very desirable in promoting quick -
growing broilers. Of course, the cheap-
est rations eTO produced, at home, but
if home feeds are lacking the poultry-
men can often use it few sacks of
commercial mash to great advantage
in growing a large per cent, of the
chicks into vigoteu,s birds.
Hens that are laying eggs for hatch-
ing should not be ferced for a large
nuniber of eggs. It is better to have
a few less eggs and have them strong-
ly fertile and able to produce many
vigorous hicks. When hens have been
heavily fed to obtain many hatching
eggs the owners have often defeated
their own purpose. They have fewer
good hatching. eggo than as if nature
had not been overworked.
Exercise is a factor in keeping the
breeding birds healthy. That is why
free range flocks often show a higher
per cent. of fertility than special
breeding pens confined on it limited
area. When the birds are confined it
is necessary to make them s,cralich for
their grhin in the summer as well as
winter. A vigorous hen with a largo
range will do a lot of traveling in
a day and it lot of. seratchlog. She
pi:educes a profit with the least worry.
The lazy, poor producers are apt to
be last off the nest in the morning
and first to bed at night. Poseibly

Filtered Rain Water at
Country Schools.
There are countles,s district schools
where no 'provision is made for drink-
ing water, save as it is carried by the
children to the schoolhouse from some
farm -home. Undoubtedly the cost of
drilling a well is 'responsible in -most
instances for this condition.
The trustees of one rural school
have solved this problem in a safe
and comparatively inexpensive man-
ner by using the rain which falls upon
the roof of the.schoolhouse. The water
from both slopes is carried directly
to it large filter, filled with layers of
charcoal, sand andsmall pebbles.
From the filtere the water makee its
way to a un.dergrouncl cistern which
is provided with a tight curb. In -ease
the cistern becomes filled, a damper
in the pipe above the filter permits the
roof veater to be dietheeged through
another pipe.
Watev from this eistern was used
for tvvo days in midsummer by the
writer of this article who used the
School yard for a temporary camping
spot. Though echoed had not been in
session for several weeks, he found
the water sweet and pelatable. It was
melte dark in' color but bore no evi-
dence of staleness. Neither sediment

Comforts on the Rented Farm
Last sumener it was ' my good fox -
tune to visit a college friend who had
lived on a fart•m'all her life, had taken
a college course in home economics,
married a man who had graduated
from the college- of agriculture and
gone to live Do a rented farm. Know-
ing the good modern house in 'vvhieh
she lead lived on her father's farm, I
wandered how she would enjoY a rent-
ed Amin. She had two children end the
usual number of hands to bowel with
the unial lack of help in the house.
I asked her how she managed to keep
house so well and have so much time
for reading and enjoying her children.
She answered, "Do you knew, I be-
lieve the reason more women arre not
able to., make their work easier is
because they do not study it'enough?"
I asked her how she had gone about
improving the place in which she had
to work.
"The first thing I did," she answer-
ed, "was to work ius best I could with
the things T had and ,arnanged just
as they were when I moved in. The
next thing I dui was to ,sit down and
Whilo thinking, she made it list of
such improvements as seemed urgent.
"Wo are poor folk, you know," she
said, "and we had to make the money
go as fee as it would. So I made my
plane Cawedully in ead.er not to have
to spend ,an undue amount."
The first thing changed was the
sink in the kitchen. It was in a
corner and the men using it had to
cros,s the working space whieh she
was using in preparing her meals. At
least three times, a day her :husband
and his helpers interfered mere or less
with preparation of meals, The siok
was too low and mode her back ache.
She had it moved and raised and than
had evhat the called, "the food end DI

The towels hung in a hallway near

ed the men out of the kitchen to little

was oneastees which m,ade it easy to
move about the kitchen.
Equipping the Kitchen.
I was interested to see her various
pieces of inexpensive equipment to
save week. She also had to fireles,a
oo:oker, a dish -drainer arid a high
stool. 1 asked her if elle had ri'vor
bought equipment that she did not
find useful and at this point her hus-
band bad great fn felling mo of one
diol -drainer that emphatically did not
do What lied ben claimed for it so she
bought another. That was the only
piece of equiprent she had purchased
which was het satisifactoty, btl she
had thought very carefully and in -
&tined herself well about each article
before purehesing it. Although this
was a tenant house, I have never
seen a more convenient kitchen con-
sidering the -feet th,at miming water
was not .available,

A Home-lViade Refrigerator.
The problem of keeping perishable
food in summer was geecut until this
ingenious woman weeked out this de-
vice: For a wedding present somebody
had given them to .bread -box mu.c.h too
large for their family nee. They put
a wooden frame around this non-rost-
able metal box ,and hung it inthe well.
Her huthand ,eonstructed a frame with
to pulley over the well. A pail fined
with stones was faetened to the end
of the rope wloich almost balanced the
W.enght irn the box and made ,it pos-
mbee to raise the box with
dreet. When elm took food out of
the box she put a stone in to make
the box sink into the well. There was
• shelf in the box se she could keep
,considenieble food in this cool place.
A heavy snap had been attached to
the wires running arose -wise under

The Welfare of the Home
Building the New Dwelling.
A story is told of a poor women
who suddenly acquired, wealth and at
once decided to build a new home.
Having spent most of her ,waking
hones in the kitchen, she ordered her
erehitect to fernish her a house which
had n,e.such room. Later, finding that
even people of wealth must have some
place to prepare meals she was
forced to build the kitchen on, and
connect it to the rest of the mansion
by means of a hall.
In inspecting a large per cent. of
the houses in Oenado, one is forced
,believe that et least as lite
thought was given to sane planning
as the woman in the stoey gave te he
home. Certainly the average home
could be improved upon when it comes
to convenience of arrangement end
ease of doing work. In the old-
fashioned houses, especially those
built in the days when lumber was
cheap, doesn't it seem as if the one
idea was to site how many rooms of
immense size one could get, without
any regard to the steps women would
have to take in, keeping the house up ?
Don't you all know pantries large
enough to be modern kitchens?
In planning your new home or re-
modeling your old one, bear in mind
the fact that the fewer the steps, the
sooner you'll be through work. Get
your working arca all together in as
compact a form as possible.
The model fat= home should have
living -room, dining -room, office, kit-
chen, pantry, laundry and wash -Tamil
on the first floor, bedroom's, bath and
sawing -room on the second, and the
berlroonee foe help should be separate
from thoee for the family. If you can-
not afford a home of this size, how-
ever, combine living -room, office and
seeiing-room in one, but keep the
dining -rosin.' Many a. woman has sot
listlessly through a meel in the kit-
chen because the sight of the spot
where she hadprepared the meal rob-
bed her of appetite. Plon your home
so as to get out of the kitchen at
m eal times.
And do not, unlees you are blessed
with help or the children are grown,
plan for a sewin.ge-room on the second

step into it while the bread bakes and
you'll accomplish twice as much in
the way of sewing or mending, In

Of course, you will have running
ureter. This need not of necessity cost
a great deal naf money. A small pump,
a few feet of pipe, a sink and a little
labor are all that is required. The
department of farm mechanics of the
agricultural college will give advice
anti help as to installing any water
oe power system you may select.
The method of heating the new
home is a matter of pocketbook end
personal choice. Every type of fur -
e nem, hot air, steam and het water,
, has its -admirees. Much depends noon
r installation, so be sure that only a
competent workman installs your
furnace for you. Hot air costs less
in the beginning that either steam or
hot water. Such furnaces are easy
to operate, and if properly installed
with an outside cold air intake, they
give satisfactory heat and insure
fresh air at the same time. On windy
clays, however, there is almost in-
variably one room in the house which
is is impossible to heat, the room, of
course, being on the windy side of the
house. If you cleo.os.,e hot air, see
that the registers are set in the wall.

to give off heat with a lower fire than

For your woodwork end deers, of
'course, you would like oak. But of
late oak prices have been so high as
to make them almost prohibitive.
There are many other WOOtia Whia

finish quite so eatiefactorily as oak,
owing to its beautiful grain, may be

For floors maple is very durable.

Floors and woodwork may be either
varnished or waxed. Wax is more
satisfactory in many ways as it does

beauty grows with its age. It is
