The beet possible treatment imme- diately after gathering is to string the ears and hong them in anopen shed or loft.

After hanging in the shed or lying on the racks for two months, the seed - ears should be dry. They can remain where they dried or be stored in mouse -proof barrels, boxes, or crates during the winter. But in either case they must not be exposed to a damp atmoepbere, for they will absorb mois- ture and be injured. To keep weevils and grain moths from injuring stored grain, the thor- oughly dried seed -ears should be stor- ed in very tight mouse -proof recep- tacles with one pound of moth balls or naphthalene inclosed for each bushel of corn. mien 73 Adelpide St. Went, Toronto of the brood Comb erom the centre of the hate to be transforrea, expatiate 'it carefully for diseese and- if any disenee iss fond tide colony Mona be transfotrea by this Method.

' - Transfewing of -bees from one hive to another .should be done any time from the beginning of fruit bloom to the end of the clover honey flow. It is not advisable to attempt to transfer bees during the late summer or fall. There are several methods of trans- ferrines, each of which will- very briefly describe, By the direct method thescomhs are cut out from the box hive or gum and the bees lerushed from these combs into a modern hive which is placed in; the exact location of the old hive.; After the bees have all been trans-; feered a queen excluding zinc should, be placed over the entrance so that the queen cannot get out. This pre- caution will often prevent colonies from leaving the new hive. It is sup -1 posed that all of • the frames in the' new hive are fitted with full sheets! of comb 'foundation. It is sometimes: advisable to fill one of the frames. with brood and honey token from the old hive. This will prov•ide :food for. a day or se and will usually prevent themolonies from leaving. This comb should later be removed. If the col-r,- ony which is being- transferred has any. disease, then none of the comb: shoould be taken to the new hie. Care, musrbe used in this method, to see that at no time after the transferring the colony runs out of food. The slow methodis very popular with many beekeepers becaese o its : - simplicity.

Some wills bp early hatched stools of.good development and vigor. Others will be late hatched and of testi value. Often the exact number of birds of all ages is not known. and this makes the plans for fall and welter very uncertain. It pays to cheek up all the birds at night and knove exactly how many of each sex and age are on the farm. This not only helps to controlpoultry stealing from thieves and other pests but gives the farmer a definite idea of has poultry business for the coming year. The early -hatched pellets can be marked. Only save enough of them to fill the farm poultry house, allow. Ing four square feet of floor space to each bird. Overcrowding is a sure method of reducing poultry profits. After culling the old hens and decid- ing which are to be saved for breed- ing stock, enough of the best pullets can be marked to fill the house. Check over the cockerels and if none are to be oved to sell as breed- ers, save the best for home use and market the remainder as soon as they reach the broiler age. This will save feed and give the pullets a better op- portunity to develop if both sexes are using the same range. If enough early hatched birds have been pro- duced it does not pay to save the late hatched stock . and more annual income from poultry can be made by selling both the pullets and the cock- erels from the late -hatched stock. In saving the cockerels for home use it pays to allow several extra birds to remain, as some may not turn out as well as expected and occasional acci- dent may injuresome birds. The cvstom of saving all of the pullets causes poultry losses. Young pullets are always, in demand by breeders who have not raised enough for their own use. Nothing is gained by keepieg- too many pullets for the housing capacity when some of them can be turned into cash while giving the remaining birds a chance to earn more mei]. The inventory tells the farmer just what he hes for sale. On some farms raising large flocks of poultry the owners cannot guess within a hundred birds of the number on the range. If rats or *easels take birds the fact omit be determined. If a poultry thief robs a colony house, the owner is not sure how many birds have been lost and the necessary protection will not be given to the flocks et night. More profit will come from farm poultry raising when the flocks are culled early in the season.' The birds to be staved can be banded and then thmremainder can be sold as soon es they reach a marketable age, either for broiler meat or breeding stock. It is not the number of birds in theflock but the quality of the stock that de- tomines the returns. Of course, a large flock of good birds will bring more money than A small floth but often a large flock of all ages running together eats up the profit from the geed birds. The inventory enables the poultryman to save what he needs and give the remainder of the birds the prompt culling which brings in money and cuts feed bills. Market poultry requiring fattening must be fattened in coops or pens where they will receive little exercise. dreen food it not of value in a fat- tening ration. In fact, it will only take up room in their crops which is needed for fattproducing foods. Foyle will increase in weight on a diet of corn meal and sour milk math. The meal it better than whole corn. The high-produeing hen has a full, bright, waxy comb and wattlee. The face is thin and the beak, eye tinge, ear lobes and face are pale. The good hen hes a fuul ear lobe and a bright round eye. The hen that should be culled out of the flock will have small hard dried corth and wattles. The fa,ce will be fat and the 'beak, eye rings, ear lobes and dace will be yel- low. The ear lobes will be wrinkled and the eyes dull and snaky. Clean, spray, and sun the nests.

' Spotting the Layers. The average person should not try the impossible, and it is impossible for the ordinary farmer, as well as the moat skillful poultryman, to succeed with hens which lack the capacity or ability for egg production. Slacker hens fed the most practiolly prepared feeds, housed in the best quarters and given queenly care, have not the re- motest idea of gratitude forethey sini- ply will not produce eggs under the most persistent urging. Laying birds are jest as necessary to the success- ful poultry venture ae are good seede to -the enterprising gardener. Having the producing kind, then, the actual effietancy in egg production rests with the person operating the machinery. The man Or WOMet1 who looks to the poultry deportment of the farm for its proportionate contribution to the farm income naterally asks, "Can the layers be separated frem the slack- ers?" The economy of ouch a prac- tice goes unchallenged but the aver- age farmer is concerned about the practieal phases involved.

An expert makes the following sag- gestione in regard to ventilators for cribs: "Build an A -shaped frame theough the entire e,entre of the crib, making it from fifteen to eighteen inches wide at the bottom, .six inches wide at the top, and from five to eight feet high, depending on the height of the ca. *bout every four feet through the length of the crib build an air -shaft opening into this A -shaped tunnel at the bottom and =ming to the top of the crib, These shafts should be open at the corners, so as to allow plenty of opportunity for circulation of air through the corn." Another type of ventilator which is just as effective, though more expen- sive but much more easily built, is made as follows.: Build a double wall, with the boards two inches apart, through the middle of the crib from end to end and from bottom to top. This can be made by using 2x4's for studding and rough 1x4's or Lee's spaced two inches apart for walls. The axe studding should be in pairs held apart by blocks, so that there will be a three or Sour -inch space between the studding. This will really divide each crib into two nar- row .cribs, three and one-half feet wide. Plant bulbs for outdoor axing blooming. . , .

So the lad went a in his fun - making, and hie companion could find no very satiefadthey answers. That night when they were at their study, he remembered the e,onversation of the afternoon and, looking in hie dic- tionary, found the definitiob of a window to be an opening in the well of a building. Turning to his friend, he said, "I guess you were right this afternoon about the window. It seems that it was not a real wondow that we saw, but it was seamething that could be made to be a window with some work. It will be a 'window when Mr. George gets it built into his garage." The question of the old window frame was settled. But, if the toys had only known it, they did more than settle the question of the • window frame. They laid down a principle that Will have an unmeasured influ- ence in the lives of all human beings who will etucly and applyeit. There is a place and a reat need for true men. • and there is One who is able to construct true manhood; but it is not possible to be a true man outside of Jesus Christ. God has made us, every one. He has made us, not to stand by ourselves, but to live in Christ Jesus. That was the pur- pose, the plan, of God. He is con- structing a building, fitly framed to- gether, and He has a place in that building for every one of us. We can be wb,at He meant us to be only by filling the place that He means for us to fill.

By JESSIE LEITCH. bandages are used more often tor ' rheumatic cases. After applying a Inement and friction to the kan, a flannel bandage insures uniform warmth of tho. affected part and is more comfortable than at cotton band- age would be. Bandages thould be rendeyed sterile. To render sterile is to destroy germs by boiling, by live , steam, by steam under pressure, or by hot air. Thos we group the methods of des- trbying bacteria (germs) into two classes—physical and chemical. - The physical agente at our coms mono for destroying the genes are light and heat. Dimpt sunlight destroys bacteria but the process of exposure is neces- sarily so long as to render sunlight; impractical, particularly in the home. Through the medium of heat, we have sterilisation by (a) boiling; ('n) live steam; (c) steam under pros -Sire; (d) hot air or dry sterilization. A doctor, when prePaying instru- ments for use in a home, inventably boils them for a time. It is improb- able that the mother will have occa- sion to sterilize by boiling; the better manner to sterilize towels, bandages or surgical dreseingt• such as one .might need to prepare in the home is by the tun of steam and dry heat. After prepaning 'articles for sterilize - tion wrap them in a thick cotton cov- ering and pin them into bundles. An ordinary colander is a good thing in whith to eternize. Steam for tevta hours then remove bumile.s. Spread them out on a cleat pan and put in the oven until thoroughly dry. Put away in a clean pillow slip ita future use. An article subjected to a little dry heat without previous steaming is not sterilized. Steam is so meth more penetrating than air that it accom- plishes mere in twenty minutee than dry hoot can in an hour. It will not be possible to use steani! under possiere in a home, as this is done in hospitals by specially con- stamethd sterilizers. . • Alcohol and carbolie odd ere peels - ably the best disinfoctants one can Me in tho hoesehold. • If you spill carbolic acid upon your hands or skin; alcohol should he applied immediately, Alcohol I:outran-zee the hurtful aetion of embolic acid.

In itself indigestion is no Mere a disethe of the digmitive organs than a cough is a disease of the lungs. It Is only a ,sign that the',stomath or in- testines inc unable to deal effectively with "the food presented th them. Now the vast majonity of persons who are at present suffering from all the miseries attendant upon imper- fect or perverted digestion of theie daily ration were ,born into this world with perfectly sound and enfieient di- gestive organs. Food and fresh air are the very springs of life. Air ds taken in, and duly filtered and tested in the taking, by every human 'being, automatically. On the other hand, the business of eating and drinking is 'voluntary, the result of the exercise of the will. And that is where the trouble begins. The stomach, as well as those other important organs associated with it in the vital business.of digestion, is ab- solutely at the mercy of its owner. He era put into it any mortal thing, solid, fluid or gaseous, that he pleases; and in almost any quantity, any variety, at any time and as often as he fancies. These internal organs are extremely accommodating (in all senses of the word) and, as we so .often observe, only too readily "expand their pram- eses th cope with inoreasing business," to use a commercial phrase. To the healthy, the business of eat- ing, is, _as it should be, a pleasure. They enjoy their feed, They are tempted to increase their pleasure by the simple device of Making their Meals bigger or more frequent. The result is inevitable disaster. No stomach was ever constructed to do sixteen or twenty-four hours' work per day; and no digestive ap- paratus has yet been devised by Na- ture, or adapted. by art, to deal. effi- ciently for Meg with the Weirdly and wonderfully seasoned dishee, Pitilattat seines, pungent condimente, highly - colored boranic pastes, salt-satufated meats, pickled, potted and peculiar "delicacies" and so on, with which multituaes tlf eandidetes for dyspep- sia begin the downward path. 12 ynu wish to keep 'the healthy di- geetiofi You 31aNI, have, be careful to proportion your intake of fogd to yeur output of mender and nervous energy.

The mer- chant gave me no itemized statement. This I compared with my cancelled cheques. I found every iteen correct but one charge of $10 that had clearly been paid by cheque. I showed •the item to the merchant. He Ictcatea the . purchase easily and called my atten- tion to the fact that it had been marks ed "Charged." However, my cheque bearing his indorsement was indisput- able evidence that he had received the money. He credited me with an additional $10. I have found it a wise' precaution to retain my cancelled chequee for sev- eral years. Nobody can tell in ad- vance just -when a cheque may be re- quired as evidence. It is the safest means of guarding against paying an account the second time. My wifeis as careful as I am in keeping her cheques. Recently she escaped the second paying of an interest charge because she had the enamelled cheque to show. Always date your cheques ateuerite- ly. Without the date the cheque as at receipt is only half good, It is a good plan to note somewhere upon the cheque the purpose for which it was given. Compost for Garden. Make a compost heap near or in your garden by piling a layer of soil on top of a layer of manure; then a layer of leaves or am/. organic matter; another layer of soil and some more organic matter, such as straw, stable manure, leaves, grass clippings, plant and meat wastes, ground bones, tree and shrubbery clippings, all piled and mixed and allowed to decompose dur- ing winter. This heap should be turn- ed over tyke during the winter months and applied to the garden in the early spring. Compost is one of the lest lawn fertilizers,- and helps vegetable growth when scattered over the ground around young plants, The world's consumption of sufror is esiOmated at between 14,000,000 and 15,000,000 tons a year. Will- They Say It of You? A good farm is only the lengthen- ing shadow of a goad man. Do you .own a good farm? Do folks say of your place, as they pass by, "There Is the finest farm in this township"? Then you no doubt are proud, and have a right to be. • But stop a minute and ask this question: "How 13 .it that My farm is such a good one? havo not lived on it very long myself. The work I have done would not in Knit have placed Me when I am in the estimas lite of my • neighbors. I foaled the farm quite tie it is now. It pleased tne and I bought it" Yes; some one else sowed, you realm(' the harvest.
