Tt will require a building of herolo

and records of the Canadian army in
the great war, says an Ottawa des-
patch, Dr. A. G. Doughty, public
archivist, bas just returned from
Europe after' Iooliing over the material
now held iu England and France.
1)r, Doughty says there is a vast
collection of trophies, records, pic-
tures, photographs and 11letorical.
papers awaiting shipment to Canada.
Apar(, from any question of shipping
facilities, these trophies cannot be
transported yet, because of the lack
or accommodation in Ottawa for such
a collection. The Canadian repos
and records will be among the lamest
and most complete of any of, the fight-
ing nations,

RURAL 'ggMETERY
flow forte tt and •dreary they look
some of those rural Cemeteries
whle'la hold our dead! Npw anti then
ono epos a rural graveyard receiving
as good care as city .eemeteriee get,
where care is provided fpr every lot
that is sold; but for the most part
the' countrycemetery is a sad com-
mentary on the regard with which,.
we held Or dead,
There is, of course, a reason for
this lack of attention, and the reason
is one which mattes the solution • of
the problem all the more difficult.
The relatives 'cif those buried in these
isolated spots die or remove to other
localitiee. There in no fund p.ovlided
for the taking care of the cemetery.
No one has the time or inclination to
do work of this: kind, especially if
there is little or no pay • in. sight.
Consequently the weeds creep in, the
briers thieve said the stones in time
topple over from sheer neglect.
This problem has in come cases
been solved by establishing a' fund;
for keeping the cemetery in good'
condition. There are always well-to-
do relatives of those buried in such a
place. Ie the relatives aro approach-,
ed, they will, gladly make e contribta-I
tion to such a fund er will agree to
give a few dollars a year, not espec-
ially because of the graves .they are
interested in, but• to keep the entire
place in more presentable condition.
Shnply keeping the grass and weeds
out, and preventing brambles and
briers from getting a. foothold, mak
a cemetery look better and remove
much of the appdarance of neglect.
It is also necessaeyy to keep sunken
places filled and grassed over.
To this end some one lust learn
the whereabouts of relatives of those
buried in the cemetery. That means'(
%lite a bit of correspondence. It has
been found that an appeal for aid has
little weight with any but near rela-
tives.
Parents will contribute if. their.
children ere buried there; children
will give if father or mother sleeps
there under the sod. Brothers and
sisters will usually do what circum-
stances will permit. Aside from these
the call is not likely to meet with.
much response. However, there are
usually enough near relatives with
which to make a start, and there are
many among the living who expect
to find a resting place in the ceme-
tery, who are glad to help put the
grounds in better shape. The chief
thing is to find an interested. person
who will undertake to find the rela-
tives living in other localities. The
work can be organized and carried on
under the direction of township offi-
cers. This plan has been found to
work well in many 'localities.
If you can't buy. a herd buy a
heifer.
If you are invited out to dinner and
take a small child with you, be sure
to spread a paper on the floor under
the child's chair. This will catch
the particles of food which the aver -
ago child is sure to drop, Aid your
hostess will appreciate your thought-
fulness.

The size of each plot' is to be two rods long by one rod wide.
Any person in Ontario may choose any ONE of the experiments for
1919.and apply for the same. The material will be furnished in the order
in which the applications are received, while the supply lasts. Each appli-
cah should make a,second choice, as the material for the experiment selected
as first choice night be exhausted before his application is received. All
material will be furnish -d free of charge to each applicant, and the produce
will, of course, become the property of the person who conducts the experi-
ment, Each person applying for an experiment should write his name and
address very carefully, and should give the naive of the County in which
he lives.

Use the Fanning -Mill: -
In many parts of the country
there has been a tendency to let the
fanning -mill rest and rust and ga-
ther dust, and to pay for cleaning the
grain and sell the uncleaned wheat,
oats or barley for a low price.
The present high price of grain
should bring many a neglected fan-
ning -mill into profitable use. Inci-
dentally, farmers will have profitable
work for stormy days, and much
cheap feed for chickens, pigs and
other animals. Several people can
profitably buy a fanning -mill to clean
seed grain. Clean seed means big-
ger, cleaner yields.

Wood Ashes to Fertilizer.
For two or three years hundreds
of 'thousands of .people who have
hitherto used coal for all fuel pur-
poses will, in part at least, use wood.
Many factories will make it their
chief dependence, and a considerable
number of shops that get their pow-
er from waterfalls will use wood for
heating. The situation is not with-
out its advantages, for, unlike coal,
wood as fuel furnishes a valuable by-
product for the fea•mer, On account
of the difficulty of getting potash,
fertilizers are at present extremely
high in price... But wood ashes con-
tain a large amount of potash, and,
except that they lack ,nitrogen, they
furnish a complete fertilizer. • The
lime in them sweetens, the soil so
that nitrogen -storing plants, such as
beans, peas and clover, can grow on
their roots the nitrogen -fixing bac-
teria that cannot live in sour soil.
Thus, in a secondary way,
ondar
wood ash-
es, are a complete fertillizer fax such
plants.
They also increase the
growth of cabbages, carrots and corn,
But it is not advisable to mix theist
with barnyard 'manure.
The advice has often been given
not to use wood ashes on potato
land. The reason is that such use of
them is likely to cause scab, The
advice is good if the crop is intended
for the market; but' if the potatoes
are to be raised for hone use, a lib-
eral application of wood ashes will
increase the crop without doing any
harm, for scab is only skin-deep, and
does not affect the flavor. Besides,
rolling the soad potatoes in sulphur
virtually eliminates the likelihood of
scab. Putting the ashes- en the soil
the year before or scattering them on
the snow in winter is another way of
reducing the likelihood that they will
cause scab. With ashes at twenty-
five dollars to thirty dollars a ton
for fertilizer, the man who burns
wood has a possible rebate on his
firewood bill that is not to be de-
spised. '__

"Say, mother, I'll be glad when 1
get that wood -pile into thewood-
shed, Then I'll be all through with
it, won't 2, mother?"
"No, John, You know I shall want
you ere carry out the ashes alter the
wood is 'burned up," cheerfully re-
plied another.
"But then I'll be through with it,
mother?"
"Olt, no, I believe not, for you will
then scatter the ashes on the corn-
field, and father will plow them under
in the spring. Then you will help him
plant the corn, you now. The corn
will grow,eatingthe ashes and earth
about ,it, and by and by you will also
eat sweet corn."
"Oh, we'll sort of eat the wood
ourselves, and that will surely be the
end of this old wood -pile."
"Not quite,' said mother. "You
knew their, will be cobs left, and
stalks of corn, We may feel them
to the ]figs, or to the cows, and that
will give us meat or milk,"
"Well, I never knew there was so
much to a wood -pile before," said

April is an ideal month for hatch-
ing goose eggs, Duck raisers take
advantage of this month to get out
their future breeding stock. April
ducks gain better development, and
start to lay earlier than those hatch-
ed later.
The nights are cool, but the days
are glorious with sunshine, and are
so invigorating. •It is just the kind
of weather that stimulates the at-
tendant, filling him full of ontit.usi-
asan, especially as he sees 'that new
life has been put in his stock: Every-
body seems happy. April is not only
an excellent hatchirg month, but it
is an ideal growing month. One can
just see the little ones growing; and
this exl.iliarating weather will be
with us for two more months -April
and May.
More real progress can be made
through selection and breeding than
through feeding. The best of food
a.nd care will not makea good iayer
out of a birch with big thick pelvic
bones, any more than heavy feeding
will make a draft horse out of a
racer.
Select birds with thin pelvic bones
and with plenty of space between the
rear of the breastbone and the two
pelvic bones. Male birds should be
selected the same way, ahvays being
careful that only the most vigorous
and healthy specimens are used en
the breeding yards.
It takes the labor of 200.000 men
yearly to supply the needs of rats.
The rat eats and drinks everything
a man does, lciels poultry, destroys
clothing, undermines buildings,
causes many fires, and carries conta-
gious diseases. Inn fact, the rat fol-
lows and h.arrasses man from. the
Cradle to the grave. All together,
swat the rat!
We live not by what we eat, but
by what we digest, and what one
man digests another would die in at-
tempting. Rules on this subject are
almost useless. Each man can soon
learn the powers of his stomach, in
health or disease. IIe has no more
business to bring on indigestion than.
he bias to get intoxicated or fall into
debt. He who offends on these points
deserves to forfeit stomach, head and
his electoral franchise. Generally
speaking, fat and spices resist the
digestive power, and too much nu-
tritious food is next evil to too tittle.
Good cookery, by developing flavor,
increases the nutritiousness of food
which bad cookery would perhaps
render indigestible. Hence a good
cook rises to the dignity of "artist,"
and may rank with the chemist, if
not with the physician.
