Ttitenodern method of making hay es far different from that of the old d'ays, when grass was cut with scythes, turned with pitchforks if there was time, raked by hand into "cocks," loaded by hand with pitch- forks, and unloacled by hand again into dark mows or stacked in most any kind of shape out of doors. Artists complain that the modern way pi hay -snaking has taken all the romance and poetry out of this old art.

So, although the poetry and rom- ance has disappeared, the flarmabeys ef to -day are thankful that the ilntro-, duction of Modern hay -making meth: ode has taken the backache and the armache 'out of the job. And, besides making the work much easier, it has improved the quaaity of the hay and has enabled the farmer M inerease his acreage many fold.

There are several important insects which do severe damage to strawberry plants and greatly reduce the crop. every year. In Bulletin No. 92 "The Strawberry and Its Cultivation in Canada," prepared by W. T. Macoun, Dominion Horticulturist of the Do- minion Experimental Farm, and 'ob- tainable from the Publications Branch, Department oe Agricultere; Ottawa, information op these insects is given, along with methods for their control. Common strawberry diseases and remedial. measures as weal as general instructions for the gardener who is interested in growing this fruit are also ineluded in this bulletin. _Oc- casionally the yield of fruit is seveiely reduced by the strawberry weevil. This is a small dark snout beetle Which cuts off the. blossom buds, Early 'varieties fee strawberries appear most subject to serious injury. In addition to clean cultivation, protec- tion may be obtained by emitting the plants with a dust composed of one pert (by weight) 'arsenate of lead and five parts finely ground sulphur. Aes soon as rambler roses are through flowering cut out all the old wood, the, branches that bore flowers, and throw the whole support of the plant Anto the new wood of this year's growth that will flower next year.

' The first thing eor a farmer with a brook at hand to consider is /thee much power he requires -the unit of elec- trical power 'being the "watt." One borsepower is the equivalent ref 746. watts.
