Address Agronomist, care of Wilson Publishing CULTIVATING THE Co., L,td•, 73 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, RUIN, Nothing, will take the place of cul- tivation for growing crops. If you cannot give what is needed to your garden, better not expect, good re- sults, as you will not get them, There are three particular things we aim to accomplish when we give cultivation to growing crops, and)/ by "cultivation" is meant both that g ,'yen machinery..by hand and by tools or machinery. The effect is the same; the difference is merely the means used to'aecont- ,plish it, First. The keeping down of Weeds, which, if not kept in check, will crowd out and smother . the growing crops, and deprive them of needed moisture and plant food. This is a serious reason for cultivation, Your garden cannot support, at one and the same time, crops of vegetables and weeds. Of course, you prefer the vegetables; hence the necessity of keeping out the weeds. When To Begin Hoeing Hoeing should begin as soon as the crops ;•are planted, if the rows or drills have been outlined. Or, if the rows have been marked by quick - growing plants, such as the radish or lettuce, as soon as they appear. This is a great advantage in a dry spring season, as the soil moisture can be conserved from the beginning. Deep hoeing is a mistake, except iu a very few rare cases, which need not be considered here, Iioeing is not as easily done as would seem. Beginners as a rule take too large a "slice" or bite with the blade at one time. This merely chops the soil into large clods, es- pecially when deep hoeing is done. The proper way is to give the hoe a good slant, and, when hoeing for weeds, just skim off the surface. Any perennial weeds, such as the docks, plantains, dandelion, etc„ should 'ire dug out, root and all, and destroyed. However, there are exceptions to the above, in the cases of those plants which are hilted -up. When working with these we draw the soil up'around the plants, a little each time, rather than all at once, as this enables one to work the soil close to the plants as well as around them, while at the same ,time raising the soil around them in time to the desired height. Much of the discomfort of hoeing is due to dull blades, A. hoe should be kept sharp as regularly as an axe— for the same reason—to make it out well. When filing make the bevel on the outer side of the blade. A clean blade also adds much to its effectiveness and lessens the labor of hoeing. The hoe shout$ be kept polished so that it will come out of the soil free from adhering particles. Any tendency to rust can be prevent- ed, or cured by the application of a Ripe oi; soft brick and a little nra- chino. oil to the effected places, Value of Dust -Mulch The second reason for cultivation, so far as the garden Is euncerned, is to keep. on the soil about and between the plants what is known, as a "dust - mulch," A mulch is a covering put on the soil for a particular purpose. We mulch about shrubs and herbace ous plants in the fall to protect them over winter by keeping the frost from the ,Soil. In the same way we pre- vent evaporation by covering the ground with a mulch of dust during the hot, dry days of midsummer:' It does net require a heavy dust mulch• to do the work perfectly, -Hoe- ing for this purpose should not bo done deeper than two inches -less, if you are skilled with the hoe, as it does not require a deep mulch to cut off the movement of the moisture from the bottom up. Keep in mind the fact that the dust mulch, once made, does not last for- ever—or for the season, for that mat- ter. Every time it rains it is spoil- ed, and the capillary action of the soil from top to bottom renewed, and for this reason the soil should be worked, after. all rains to break up the crust Which forms on all but very light /sandy ones after every rain. This soil -crust is one of the worst things for a garden, and many other- wise good ones are spoiled for the best results by ignorance of this fact, Keep it broken up all season. - For the larger garden there are the hand -wheel tools, both for planting and cultivating purposes. These 'will take away a very large percentage of the drudgery of the garden if used where the area is sufficient to war- rant it. These combination tools can be had for a number of purposes. Cultivating After Rain When using the wheel -hoe, set the teeth so that the cultivating•will be shallow—not'` over two inches deep, and teach yourself to run close to the plants without touching then, This will obviate much back -breaking work in the following up with the hand - weeder always needed after the wheel -hoe has gone over the garden, to finish off the few weeds which can- not be caught by the wheel -hoe. It should be understood that while cultivation is required after every hard rain, yet you must use judgment not to do this before the soil is dry enough, to have it done without mak- ing it harsh. A good test is to take a ]handful of 'soil and squeeze it tight- ly. If, when the hand is opened, the mass of soil breaks apart or re- acts, it is all right to be worked; but if it stays in a tight mass, like putty, let it alone until it gets in proper condition, -PLANNING THE FARM ORCHARD By L. H. Cobb. This is the question that conies to everyone who intends to set an or- chard, or even replace dying trees in the orchard they now have. It is not an easy matter to select the var- ieties for an orchard, and too often it is practically left to the fruit tree agent who takes the order. This is a serious mistake in most eases, for the best sorts are often the cheaper trees, and the agent is'dt{:ectiy interested in selling the most expensive. He wants to sell the specialties his house is in- troducing if he can, and he will -extoll theta at the expense of the standard varieties that you should buy instead, Use Recommended Varieties Very often it will be a good plan to get in touch with the Provincial Ex- perimental Farm and find out which varieties they will recommend, for they will knew which sorts will do the best in the district, and can give advice asto the selection for the special kind...pf soil and location you have. Another good plan is to find out the names of the most popular varieties growing in your neighborhood, and see how you like them by sampling the fruit and examining the trees. Your soil may bo such that a variety that is a gen- eral favorite will not be thrifty with you; the condition of the trees of this variety in your vicinity will toll the story. It wouldn't be wise toP lant a varier that t i s dying' out right along for your neighbors, provided another variety can be had with sin4lar qual- ities. -For the Season's Supply The orchard should be carefully planned to meet the needs of the fam- ily during as long a season .as pos- sible. There is no creed for a dearth of fruit at any season.if this is done, From the time the Early Richmond cherry starts you off in the spring un- til the last Northern Spy apple is con- sumed there should be no let in the supply of fruit in a condition to use. In spite of the fart that this is not only possible' but easily ntanag- cd, there are seasons when it, is al- most impossible to Iy uy any/kind of free]) fruit ]oca11 ' ;produced and scarcely a Esau will have a regu- lar supply, Cherries, plums, apples, and peaches terve good varieties ripening in order front the tinge the first is ready until the latest: variety neons, while apples alone can, 1>e 80 planted as to ripen as wanted. ' Vtirioiies .Car the Home Orchard Fruit for ston'ing'and butting up in various ways for future use must re- ceive due consideration, but too often the whole orchard is run to varieties best suited to this purpose. The Morello cherries, Elberta peaches, wild goose plums, and winter apples get most of the orchard. There is plenty of fruit for winter hilt rt short- age during the summer season except when these special sorts are in con- dition, Many like the Etuly.Rich- mond cherries better than the Mor- ello, and the Montmorency comes be- tween these and is superior to either for any purpose, to my mind, The Wild Goose is the poorest plum grown when it cones to quality, and it is a mystery to me why it is so generally planted when there are so many real- ly good sorts.,The Japanese aro the best plums by Mll odds. The Elberta is a splendid peach, but there are oth- ers. There is no need to be with- out peaches, the big white late clings are gone with the coating of frost. The pear season is shorter, but there are some of the early fall pears that can be used quite well before the 01010 varieties ripen. Keiffor is planted exclusively and is a good, general crop sort and very reliable, yet I would not want' to do without a few trees of Tyson, Sokol, Duchess, and others that are newer and as good or better.

I went in to see a friend of mine, who has a large farm. 1 walk- ed out to the barn where he was ;lust finishing his "chores." I was sur- prised to seethe change that had tak- en place in his tie-up. "Good morning," I sold to him, "this is certainly a surprise! The last time that 1 heard from you, I unflerstood that you 3vere going out of the dairy business. Now here you have your tie-up all made over; what does it mean?" "Well, I've found out a thing or two, since I saw you," he replied. "Yes, I was pretty well discouraged then. You remember I had been hav- ing more or less trouble with the creamery. They were 'kicking' about my cream all the time; they said it had 'off' tastes and would not keep. I could not seem to tell what the mat- ter was; I thought perhaps that they were prejudiced. I was ready to sell my cows. "One morning as I was mincing my cows, a neighbor, who is a successful dairyman, came in. We got to talk- ing about things and he advised me not to give up. 'I think you can. make things all right,' he said, He called my attention to the condition of my cows. They were all covered behind, on their flanks and tails, with dirt and manure. Even their udders were none too clean. But I did brush those off when I milked. But with the cows that way I was unable to keep the milk clean when I milked, pieces of dirt and dust would get into the pail. You see, I got careless and did not clean them off regularly. Nor did I give them much bedding and they would lie down in the droppings and get all dirty. "You notice that I now have swing stanchions hung on chains? If you remember, I used to have them tied with chains around their necks at- tached to a pole. With that arrange- ment they had too much freedom so that gave them a chance to get dirty. But these stanchions give then en- ough liberty and at the same .time keep the it from getting too dirty. "I began to keep them cleaned off and I was very careful not to allow any dirt to get into the milk. You see, I always supposed that the sepa. rater tools out all the impurities! I know now after lie explained to me, that it might do so with the large particles • but by letting the large pieces get in, there was more or less i of the dirt that got dissolved and went through the separator into the cream. I know of farmers that have that name idea; they think that the sepa- rator can purify the milk. That is not so. "Well, since I made..those changes in the tie-up, and also have been care- ful to keep' everything clean when milking and separating, I have had ne more complaints from the ercam- ery."

Boils. A boil or furuncle is a painful in- flammation of . the •skin forming, around a hair follicle. One or several may develop in the same area • at. about the same ,time, or there may be soccessivo crops of them, While 10 la the rule that 'dile hair follicle be involved, it is possible for the inflammation to include • as many follicles as there ate openings in 'the boil when it gets" ripe and discharges. This kind of eruption seems to have a particular predilection for Young adults, though the exclusive 'privilege belongs to no age "or aex. ]3oils often come at the end of whiter or in the early spring, when so many people feel run-down and seem to think they require medicine for spring cleaning. Boils are caused liy germs which produce suppuration and which may. generally be found on the skin of most people, unless they have formed the habit of scrubbiaig and cleaning it with powerful antisep. tics. They may be perfectly harmless, but if theindividual, and particu- larly his skin, offers slight resist- ance, and the individual is debili- tated and run down, the germs will .improve the opportunity to develop and cause boils. Their development' is encouraked when the diet of the individual is a faulty one and when he indulges frebly in greasy food, half baked bread, pies, pastries and gravies. Nervous irritationoverwork, con- stipation, and local irritation or fric- tion of the skin, also favor their de- velopment. Almost everybody has had them and knows how they act, look, and feel The tendency to these unpleasant visitors may be overeomo by a care- ful .attention to diet, abnndanee of sleep, out -door- eaerciee and perhaps a good vegetable or mineral tonic, The development' of a boil should be arrested if possible, and ,1 am sure it is often possible. Sometimes this can be done by the ogreful• application of pure carbolic acid,- or some other mineral acid or eaustie, The injection of suitable vaccines ]s fashionable at the present time. Heat applied to the boil will has- ten its development, and a :Gree in- cision will lessen tension, relieve pain, favor drainage and facilitate the re- moval of the core or slough. The cleaner the wound is kept with antiseptic applications and dressings, the less the possibility that the infec- tion will extend, and the sooner the patient will get well. gTIESTIONS AND ANSWERS. L. H.-1, What causes mitral insuf- ficiency? 2, Is it curable? 3. What causes high •blood pres- sure? Could it be due to the heart trouble? Answer: 1. It is due to a lack of proportion between the mitral valve and its opening; in other words, the valve does not fit tigly;ly into its opening—thus, causing the blood to bac]; up when the heart contracts. 2. It is curable, though it may undergo compensations. 8. Changes in the walls of the arteries, due to increased tissue for- mation, which comes naturally with advanced years, or as ti result of certain diseases. It is possible that the condition of the heart might have a bearing upon this conditions of the arteries. A Careful Maid. Her grandfather gave to Elizabeth Ella . rl The Value of the Trapnest. Perhaps there is no single factor which has played so important a part in the past few years in stimulating the production of better poultry than the trapnest. By the use of this de- vice hundreds of farms have been able to reduce their expenses by one- half and at the same time -.have kept up their egg production. This has been made possible by careful selec- tion of the layers and the drones, re- sulting in the elimination of the lat- ter from the poultryman's flock. For- merly it was necessary to feed 1,000 hens composed of an equal number of heavy laying, profitable birds and worthless, non -laying hens. Now that the trapnest shows exactly what every hen lay's in the course of the year, the flock of 1,000 hens may safely he reduced to 500 or 600 without any appreciable decrease in egg procluc- tion . 'the saving in feed: ;lone by this method of selection is a great iteni and this, together with the saving in labor, makes it an economic duty with the poiltryman to trapnest his flock, or, if unable to devote the tisne to this work, it is important that he raises nothing but trapnested stock. There are a number of well known breeders who have followed the trapnest system of breeding for a number of years. Their equipment has enabled them to offer the back- j yard poultryman a strain of fowls that he would be unable .00 develop •in years. Every bird raised from this superior ancestry will inherit the heavy laying qualities which ai'e so essential to -day. Do your bit Mr. Poultryman! See that your 1918 hens are the trapnest- ed kind. Natives of some protions of South America preserve potatoes for months and sometimes for years by alternate - 1y freezing and thawing thein until all their .moisture is removed. As soon as the snow goes and the frost; is out o1 the ground, and a few dry days take off the excess mois- ture, clear the lawns of litter •or manure applied last autumn by the use of the rake, Roll, to smooth out the roughness. The Size of the Orchard The size of tlie' orchard must gov- ern the selection to an extent, as will the purpose for which it is planted. If it is intended to sell sortie fruit on the local market the home orchard camp be relatively increased all along the line and give the best chance for a steady profitable markt, If 11. larger acreage is contemplated with a ; view to selling on the general market then some standard variety will be selected far the larger portion of the orchard s0 the,packieg andgrading on be done at the least expense, •ler itis just as easy to sell the whoa/ crap of one kind as it would be to, have it divided up among ovoid, For the ordinary, ;flamer, though, the local market with the smaller supply of thti many varieties corning 10 reg'ular'ly would; give the bolt chance ' to get good prices, • It is ,not what we get hot what vvr.' give, Not what we play but as we Jive; These are the things .that make for Peace, a Both now and after time has ceased.
