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. Treetwat 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. --WO-- The National Liberal Committee will plan its campaign at the meeting here next Tuesday, when the whole situation will be discussed by the members from the various Provinces, Representation on the Committee includes prominent Liberal leaders frOm every province of the Dominion, and the policy followed since t919 of calling this committee to- gether whenever there was need of a conference is being followed in open- ing the present campaign.

A good fly spray can be made from 4afi quarts coal tar dip, 414 quarts fish Oil, 3 quarts coal oil, 3 quarts whale oil, and 13‘ Quarts of tar. Dissolve 3 lbs. laundry soap in water, add the ingredients of the spray and bring the whole up to 30 gallons with lukewarm soft water. This spray will keep off the flies; and prevent the coats of the animals from becoming harsh. The cows should be sprayed Mice a day -in the morning after milking and in the afternoon when in the barn for silage of green feed.

Profit considerably farther north than thie. Many people think of commercial apple orcharde as being necessarily confined to the milder. Parts of the province, and to the - lake districts, but the' fact is worth emphasizing that we have varieties. of apples suitable for conaraercial. culture in every county of Old On- tario. The winter hardiness of the• many Varieties grown throughout Ontario is now yery well established, and it is possible to select varieties:: 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 - t yper t to be had in almost every di st Summing up soil and climate, it may be said that no province or state - in North America, has so large an. area so favorable in soil and climate for apple growing as has the Pro- vince of Ontario. If this statement: is true it becomes obvious that the: present distribution of apple orch- oatrhdesr ifilactOornet.ario is dependent one, Most Profitable Near Cities. Transportation is the most import- ant factor having to do with the: - distribution of commercial apple. orchards in Ontario. In'other words, the commercial apple orchards 'are, located within reach of transporta- tion facilities, and the better thes0. facilities have been with relation to - largo cities and to the developing: markets of the prairies the more - rapid has been the development or' commercial orcharding. A location near a large city may be desirable, but if better soil and climate are to be found at a distance, the most,dis- tent location is likely to be preferred, provided transportation facilities are, good. Some districts in Ontario possesa. excellent conditions of soils and cli- mate, but are lacking in transporta- tion facilities, and until facilities are • available little development can take. place in commercial orcharding. 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.. Crow, 0. A. College, Guelph. How to Restore Damaged Pastures,..
