Ringworm is a contagious dieease
to which alt classes of anirne-133, in"
eluding inan; are su Wed.
Calves and young (male appear to
be mere susceptible to the trouble
than 'other animals, but no age ren-
ders an animal immune. Itis purely
a akin disease, and to due to the
presence of a vegetable parasite,
which is readily capable of being
conveyed from One animal to another
by direct contact; the hands of the
attendant, palls, stable utensils,
clothing, harness, saddles, blan-
ikets, the contact of one animal
with the stalls, etc., of affected
animals, etc.
In like nianner, curry-comb/3,
brushes, rubbing cloths, etc., that are
used on affected animals of any class,
if used on other animals, become
fertile cause of infection.
Symptonis.
While any part of the animal may
be the seat of the disease, the skin
around the eyes and on the face,
and on the nock and back, appears to
be the favorite seat. The first symp-
tom shown is usually an itchiness,
which is followed by a slight form
of eruption, which soon asanmes the
appearance of little yellowish scabs
of a circular shape, the mass scales
forming a circular space; hence the
term "ringworm." A 'variable num-
ber of these circular patches may be
noticed on different parts of the
body. They are of a 'yellowish color
when fresh, but become lighter In
color as they grow older; the hairs
become bristly, some break off, and
some become split. Wben the dis-
ease is not checked the affected
areas become more numerous and
the patient apparently suffers,acute-
ly from itchiness, and sometimes
rubs against solid objects with such
force as to cause bleeding. It a scale
be removed and the under surface
examined by a magnifying glass, the
Parasite can beseen.

The Liberal party goes to the country
on its unchanging tariff policy of down-
ward revision of the tariff, with regard
always to the interetss of the industries
and consumers alike, and the bringing
about, of a tariff designed primarily for
revenue, avagainst the Meighen policy
of a tariff designed primarily -for pro-
tection. The former, Mr. King has
told thousands bf people throughout
Ontario in his recent speeches, comes
as near being a people's tariff as possi-
ble, while the latter is • and always has
been a tariff for the special interests.

In order that the spread of the
disease may be checked, it is necese
sary taat great care be taken to
avoid .the conveyance of the virus
from the diseased to healthy animals.
Where practicable, itl is well to re-
move all non-infectel animals to non-
infected premises. If this cannot be
done, the diseased animals should be
isolated, and the premises in which
they had been kept should be dis-
infected by thoroughly sweeping and
dusting, and then giving a thorough
coat of an insecticide, as a hot 10
per cent. of one of the coal tea anti-
leptics or carbolic acid, or a coat of
hot lime wash with 5 per cent car-
bolic acid. Thia precaution is desir-
able on account of the virus lodging
in stalls, bedding, etc., and infecting
other animals. ,
Local treatment consist in moist-
ening the scalae with warm water
and soap, or sweet oil, removing
them in • order to expose the unpro-
tected surfaces of the affected areas.
It "is good practice to burn these
scales. An insecticide, as tincture of
iodine, or an ointment made of two
drams white hellebore mixed with an
ounce of vaseline, or, in fact, any re-
liable non-irritant insecticide, once
or twice daily until cured. -J. H.

September Notes.
Peonies should be divided and re-
set during September or October.
Do not forget to lift some of the
geraniums, salvia, asters, or other
plants in the yard or garden. They
will bloom in the window this
winter.
A drain tile set over each plant is
a good method of blanching celery.
Celery for winter storage should not
be blanched before putting in the
cellar. '
Plant tulips in the garden or bor-
der the last of September or early
October. Tulips, narcissus, narfodils
and hyacinths planted now in pots or
boxes and put in• a cocil pla,ce will
give good flowers next spring.
Pled° squash on shelves in a dry
room near the furnace or in a warm
attic room. They must not be in a
damp, or frosty place. They. will
stand a great deal Of heat and dry
air, but little moisture. If you want
squash or pumpkins to keep well,
handle them carefully so they are
not bruised.
• Dahlias, cannas, gladioli, etc.,
should be 'dug and stored after the
foliage has been killed by frost: Tho
first, part of October is :meetly the
tithe.
Try to arrange a change of pas-
ture for the ihoem Changing the
pasture as frequently as possible
minimizes losses through paraei-
tic diseases.
Green tomatoes may be put tinder

Onions keep best in an atria dry
place. A moist cellar is not a good
place. They decay quickly.

which will be hardy for any district.
Late and Early Frosts.
The most , serious climatic diffi-
culty in therProvince of Ontario is,
the occurrence of late frost in spring,
and early frost in fall. Other diffi-
culties of a climatic nature can be
largely overcome by the selection of •
suitable varieties, or by careful dis-
crimination with regard to soil, ele-
vation, aspect, etc. It may be point-
ed out, however, that frosts are -
more common and more severe over
large areas of flat country than
where the topography is rolling or •
hilly. Large areas of some of the •
southern counties of Ontario are,
therefore, more or less unsuited to
commercial apple orcharding becauee-
of their flat character. Amore roll-
ing country is much to be preferred,
so that can be made safer
from frost by the better air drainage
ard.
Suitable Soil In Every County.
So far as soils are concerend, it may
be stated that there is an abundance
of land in every country suitable for.
apple growing. Well drained land is
essential for successful oreharding,
and there is plenty of soil of this -

Summing up soil and climate, it
may be said that no province or state -

area so favorable in soil and climate
for apple growing as has the Pro-
vince of Ontario. If this statement:

The Labor Situation.
The labor situation for some years.
has been acute, but has become more -
normal during the present year. For
commercial orchard operations on a
sizable basis, it is necessary to be.
within reach of a temporary supply
of labor for apple picking. Other-
wise, it becomes necessary to build,
dwellings for men and their families
so that a supply of labor may be
-
always available.
The difficulties of the labor situ-
ation at picking time can be lessened'
considerably by the planting of varie-
ties which ripen in succession, ansi.
by taking care to get the right pro-
portion of each. A lade area of one-,
variety ripening at one time is ex-
tremely difficult to handle. - 1. W..

How to Restore Damaged Pastures,..

saved. to some extent by proper care.
Where the acreage of pasture is suf-
ficient and with a little to spare,
many of the bare or thinner spots.
can be top dressed with good barn-
yard manure to advantage. The top

good practice," says Mr.
Doss, "to divide the pasture into two
fields, if possible, and pasture alter-
nate weeks, or for alternate longer
poriods, depending on the quantity of '
grass and the condition it is in. A
Part of the pasture should be allow-
ed to make good growth and be
held in reserve until the hot weather
of July and August comes; on. During .
the fly eeason it is difficult enough
to keep stock in good condition even
whenthey are on good pasture, and
no paths should be oared to have
at least one or two good pasture
fields for this season."
Strawberry runners should be
spaced as evenly as possible to se-
cure an °vett row that will give the
most fruit.
