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, What's in a Name?

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. lSy Agrouoiiiist:.

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. GOOD' HEALTH QUESTION BOX By Andrew F. Currier, M.D. l Dr, Currier will anstwor all signed letters pertaining to Health.

After the the nanteter a rY has been achieved and i'ogsl the in the wry of treatment, 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. '__ Ono Farm 1•i'Wed-Pile. "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 John, ps he busted himself carrying in Wold Ono of our neighbors used 300 Pounds of si teen per cent, acid .»hosphate when sowing wheat and got good rewrite front it, One-half of the field yielded thirty -ono bush- e ls ant acre, the other half, with the am() wheat variety and soil, Yielded Forty-seven 'busheis an sere.

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. Cifrirton News- cord CLINTON, ONTARIO.
