Fur- thermore, humue constitutes the chief natural source of the soil's nitrogen supply. Applications of barnyard manure may be considered the chief means:em- pioyed in the maintenance. of humus in the soil. Supplementary means are the growing and ploughing in of a. green cover -crop such as rye, buck- wheat, rape, vetches or clover. Of these, clover—where conditions are conducive to its satisfactory growth— is to be generally preferred. By means of. its deeply ramifying roots, clover disintegrates and aerates the lower soil layers and brings up therefrom plant food supplies unattainable by other more shallow rooted crops. An additional advantage which clo- ver, in common with all members of the legume family, possesses is that of its ability to assimilate the free• nitro- gen of the soil atmosphere by means of minute bacterial organisms living and operating in small nodules on its roots. Thus clover gathers the great- er part of its nitrogen from the air, and its phosphoric acid, potash and lime largely from soil depths beyond the reach of the roots of ordinary crops, consequently enriching the sur- face soil with these constituents for the benefit of succeeding crops. How does clover compare with ma- nure as a fertilizer? Barnyard ma- nure of good average quality contains approximately 10 pound's nitrogen, 5 pounds phosphoric aced and 10 pounds potash per ton. Therefore 10 tons of barnyard manure would furnish about 100 pounds nitrogen, 50 pounds p5hosphoric acid and 100 pounds pot- ash. Experiments conducted, at the Central Experimental Perin, Ottawa, have .ah9wn thlut a vigorous crop of clover will contain, at a moderato esti- mate, in its foliage and moots, from 100 to 150 pounds nitrogen, 30 to 45 pounds p'hosphotric acid and 85 to 115 pounds potash per acre. A. good crop of clover from ono acre if it were 'turned under may, there- fore, be . deemed equal, in fertilizing value, to an application of ten tons of barnyard manure. In the experiments referred to, 10 pounds per acre of'common red clover was seeded down with various grain crops, while adjoining plots were seed- ed eeded with grain alone. In no instance did the growth of clover depress the yield of grain with which it was seed- er . eed-ed. In the following year, fodder corn (Learning) produced 8 ton's, 480 pounds more after wheat with clover than after wheat without clover. After barley and oats, increases of 11 tons, 1280 pounds and 5 tons, 1440 pounds respectively, of corn, per acre, were obtained on the clover plots. With potatoes the results were . equally striking. After wheat, bar- ley and oats with clover the increases were, respectively, 43 bushels, 20 pounds; 29 bushels 40 pounds and 24 bushels of potatoes, per acre, as com- pared with the yields from adjoining plots without clover. The fullbenefits from clover will as a rule be noticeably persistent for sev- eral years. On soils which are deficient in lime a satisfactory growth of clover will be encouraged by an application of, say, two tons of ground iimestone per acre. As phosphatic fertilizer, designed to benefit both the grain and the drover 300 pounds of superphosphate or 600 pounds of basic slag, per acre, may be recommended. Unleached wood ashes contain, on en average, from 4 to 6 per cent. of potash, about 2 per cent, of phos- phoric acid and from 20 to 30 per cent. of lime. They are eminently suitable as a fertilizer for clover and, when procurable at a. reasonable price, should be 'app'iled at the rate of from 25 to 40 bushels (1000 to 1600 pounds) per acre. OffeciaJ A year's effort may be lost by neg- lecting brood mares at foaling time. In view of the time it takes to produce a foal, nobody can afford to neglect the mare and foal, even if it mean's stay- ing up for a few. nights. In -foal mares should be provided with clean, disinfected box stalls, if possible, sometime before they foal. As soon after birth as possible the foal's •navel should be tied and disin- fected with iodine or some other good disinfectant. See that the foal's di- gestive apparatus' and kidneys are in working order within twenty-four hours after birth. Mares, after fowling, should be given water, not too cold and not in too large quantity. The ration fpr two or three days should be compara- tively light, and similar in nature to that fed before foaling. A sound, pure-bred stallion should he used if the best results are to be obtained with next year's colt. A. low service fee is too often the deciding factor with many mare owners in the selection of a sire. A low fee is usually a sign of an inferior stallion. Colts from inferior or scrub sires will sell for much less than those sir- ed by the sound, pure-bred stallion, A Wisconsin farmer for several years bred his mares to a grade stallion, He finally decided to patronize a pure- bred. Some time after he held an auction sale. Yearlings, two -year- olds and three -year-olds, all by grade sire, sold for $37, $66 and $70 a head respectively, while weanlinga from the same mares, sired by a purebred staI-. lion, averaged $101 each, Several Wisconsin farmers purchased a pure- bred stallion and placed the service fee at $25-$10 more than any com- petitor. A three-year-old gelding sired by him was sold to a dealer for $62E, and not one went for less than $226, Why Orchards Must Be Sprayed "What's all this iiew-fangled talk about spraying$" says the oldest in- habitant, "When I was a boy—." That is the difference. Grandfather did not have to contend with the swarms of pestiferous insects, that make or- charding so difficult for his grandson. Spraying was not necessary in those days because apple orchards were more widely scattered and as a result insects were not so numerous. With the increase of orchards, insects be- came more numerous, not only from multiplication but by ' hnportation from infested territory and from for- eign lands, For many years insects were permitted to multiply unham- pered and as a result they made nr- charding unprofitable. They are so numerous and destructive now that spraying, pruning, and the best cul- tural methods must be practised to make the orchard pay.

"We feed a cow weighing 1,300 pounds or 1,400 pounds, about forty pounds of man - gels daily; larger cows get fifty pounds daily. We always plant about five acres of the long red variety, be- cause we receive the greatest tonnage from those and they are the sweet- est." A deep, well manured, thoroughly prepared seed -bed is used. The ground is always fall plowed, as it makes it much easier to control the weeds while the plants are getting a start. The seeds are drilled with a garden drill in rows three feet apart, as soon in spring' as the seeds can be put in the ground. As soon as pos- sible the mangers are cultivated with a specially constructed hand cultiv- ator. The first cultivation is the all-important thing with mangels. If you give them a fair start they will keep down the weeds themselves. The mangels are constantly kept thinned out and are picked up in the fall before the frost if possible. They do not have to be dug like beets, as they are always at least three-fourths above ground when mature. Some years they shave. Stade from fifty- seven to fifty-eight tons to the acre. Roots were used in making nine of the ten 'highest records in the Guern- sey breed. "Our business in life' is not to get ahead of other people, but to get, ahead of ourselves." Peas and onions «an be followed by tomatoes; onions, cabbage and lettuce can be followed by snap beans; beets and corn can be followed by turnips; corn and beans by cabbages, and in this way the garden can be kept busy throughout the growing season, .11 0t is THE KIDNEYS between 30 and 40 Whatever else you da, keep your B 05idneyaregular and active, Their ware 3s et vast importance to your health and at the first evi- dence of trouble, often occurring from the thirtieth to the fortieth year, take a treatment with hit)ilh FOR THE taliaraEar.,,5 A The 'Kidneys, work is to fitter mpuri. ties from the blood l;videece of swee- ps thing wroug with he Kidneys luny be recognized quite easily—pails is the M sides Sud hack, Rheumatic twinges, consta at headaches, swollen joints, Win sleep and urinary troubles, Gin Pills are the quickest Sud most ,.a etfectt ,, remedy you eau tat -•e.

Unless many kinds of both useful and ornamental plants are protected from injurious insects and fungous diseases by spraying, the loss in fruit and vegetable crops may be very great, and, in the ease of ornamental plants which would otherwise have at- tractive foliage and bloom, they may be rendered very unsightly. The spraying of fruit trees should bo begun just -after the buds have broken in the spring and repeated at the tunes recommended in the spray calendars and pamphlets which are is- sued by both Federal and Provincial Government's and in which is given in- formation in regard to the treatment of the different kinds of insects and diseases most likely to cause damage. The apple scab causes, perhaps, more lass than any other plant dis- ease in Canada; yet this can be con- trolled and clean fruit obtained, by thorough spraying with either Bor- deaux mixture or lime sulphur. Oth- er diseases and insects can be kept well under control also by the spray which has been found best for each. Spraying is a rather expensive op- eration and it should be done in an in- telligent manner, otherwise it may be wasted money. For instance, if the spray to kill the codling moth, which affects the apple, is not applied with in a very few days after the flowers fall, the sepals or lobes of the calyx will have closed over the opening or "calyx cup" in the end of the apple into which it is important to spray the poison. As it its in the "calyx cup" where most of the insects begin work, they are not likely to be poisoned if spraying is delayed and the apples will be wormy. A spray mixture or solu- tion which will control one insect or disease may be of little or no use in controlling another. Arsenical poi- sons are the best fol' biting insects, while soap or tobacco sprays are best for, those which suck their food and which have to be killed' by contact, and certain sprays intended to kill insects will not control fungous diseases. Get the spray pamphlets and study them carefully before spraying, but spray and spray thoroughly! 1' Itlake Money by Boarding Pets. A country boy or girl, if be or she loves to care for animals, may com- bine profit and pleasure by keeping some city child's pets during the far- ily's summer vacation or while away on a trip. City people will pay well for good care given to prized pets during their absence. A Shetland pony, a canary, Angora cat oi' a fine blooded dog will prove a pleasant companion for the boy or girl on the farm, and requires little outlay for food. If the animals are in first-class con- dition when the owner comes to claim them, he will recommend the keeper to his city friends, and in this way a good paying business can soon be worked tip, mitaortint[ro ...omen* V' WO ttP CUT 'OUT AND FOLD ON DOTTED ,LINES L�"�'�-`�• Folp FOLK 1 O,jr,t FpnWA �1 "Your work's disgtnceful," teacher said, • "You really can't be bright."

What duty could more positively be paramount? No observant farm- er needs to be told that his stock will .bear better offspring if they are well cared for when pregnant, than if they are neglected or abused. Why should there be a different re- sult when the pregnant female is a woman? From the moment a woman enters the 'pregnant 'state, she enters a new condition of being, physiological, it is true, but as liable to mishaps and de- rangement as the performance of any other function—digestion or assimila- tion, for instance. The mother shares her blood current with her unborn child, and whatever it contains is contributed to the child's life. An unhealthy mother in body, mind, London Sausage Sold Out.
