Green vitriol' is copperas, or iron sulphate. Copperas costs about 8 to 5e. per lb, Copper sulphate costs in excess of 15c. per pound at the present time. Copperas cannot be substituted for copper sul- phate, Its power to kill fungus dis- eases is very limited. On account of the cheapness of the salt, at times un- scrupulous dealers are given to ad- ulterating copper sulphate with cop- peras. . There is a simple test which will determine the presence of the iron salt in the copper: It as foliows: Both copper sulphate and iron sul- phate dissolve readily h water. The copper sulphate is blue, ills iron sul- phate is green in color. In order to make the test for the presence of iron - sulphate or green vitriol being found in copper sulphate, dissolve a little of the salt in a glass tumbler, add a crystal of ferrocyanide of ,potassium. This turns the bottom of the liquid to a reddish brown color if the mixture is strong, If it is weak it will not have any particular effect on it. If sulphate of iron is present the mixture will turn a deep blue color and settle to the bottom. Watch your spray ma- terials and see that you use the right thing. Copperas sounds very much like copper sulphate, but it is an en- tirely different substance. Now is the time to spray potatoes and tomatoes to prevent the attacks of Late Blight disease. The spores of this disease, which may be found in the soil and in the garden rubbish, send up their shoots and bear their seeding spores during the warm, damp days of late June and early July. The only method of controlling this dis- ease, which causes rot of both potato and tomato, is by spraying with Bordeaux mixture. Bordeaux mixture is made up of 4 lbs. of copper sul- phate, 4 lbs. of lime and 40 gallons of water. If you have a stnali garden patch, make up the mixture in this proportion. There is no necessity of making up such a large quantity. Dis. solve the copper sulphate, -a pound to a gallon of water and the lime in similar quantity. Do not mix them until you are ready to do the spraying, otherwise chemical action will take place between the lime and copper sul- phate and spoil the mixture. Spray the growing vegetables thoroughly at least three to five times during the growing season, starting when the potatoes and tomatoes are up about 3 to 5 inches, The copper sulphate at. larss"the fungusspores tied them QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R. R.; -What do you consider the best fertilizer for apple and ilium orchards? Answer; -For apple or plum orch- ards I would advise from 6 to 10 lbs. per tree of a fertilizer carrying from 3 to 4 per cent. ammonia, 8 to 10 per cent, phosphorie acid and 1 to 2 per cent. potash. When potash be- comes obtainable hi lamer quantities, it would be well to use as high as 5 per cent. potash. This fertilizer should be worked into the soil at about the distance that the branches spread out. The feeding parts of 'the root are out towards the tips, hence the available plantfood will do more good if worked into the soil in this area rather than close up to the trunk of the tree. Commercial growers are also getting good results from, the use of bonerueal, which, however, does not contain any potash. This fertilizer can be applied in the same quantity as advised above. Farmer: -Will you kindly give full directions for the preparation of soil for fall wheat? I mean to try it for the first time next autumn. Answer: -For fall wheat the soil should be plowed as soon as the spring growing crop is harvested. If it is early oats, the ground should be plow- ed immediately after the crop has been taken off. Some farmers have better success in growing winter wheat on summer-falIowed land. If the piece of land being prepared is sod, it should be plowed as soon as possible and disked and harrowed frequently in order to cut down any weed growth and to make the seedbed as mellow as possible. If you have a supply of stock manure to apply to the wheat field, put it on the plowed ground be- fore the Last two diskings and bar- rowings. 13y disking and harrowing the field, this manure will be thor- oughly worked into the soil. Be sure you get good quality winter wheat seed of a variety that is successfully grown in Ontario. Dawson's Golden Chaff, Imperial Amber, Early Red Clawson, and Abundance, are all good varieties. When seeding the wheat apply 200 to 300 lbs: per acre of ferti- lizer carrying from 2 to 3 per cent. ammonia, and 8 to 10 per cent. avail- able phosphoric acid. Modern wheat drills have a compartment for sowing the fertilizer at the time the wheat is seeded. This works the plantfood into the soil so that it helps the young growing crop. Temperature of the whole milk has a direct effect on the percentage of fat in the cream and the skimmed mills. The temperature of milk be- ing separated should be such that the milk will flow easily, facilitating rapid and thorough separation of the cream and the skimmed milk. It is a wise plan to separate the milk as soon as lsrtsn News- Record CLINTON, ONTARIO.

In that case, the temperature is high enough that a thorough separation is effected. If the milk is allowed to eel after being drawn, the tempera- ture needs to be raised to about 85 degrees to 90 degrees to secure the best results when separated. Many dairymen think that there is an advantage in having the whole milk at„a low temperature, because the cream possesses a higher percentage of fat when the temperature is low. However, in these tests the loss of fat in the skimmed milk was greater. It should be noticed that the weight of fat in the whole milk and in all three pails of cream was approxim- ately the same, but that there was a distinct variation in the weight of the cream, and this is the cash end of the dairy business. The richness of creain, or the per- centage of fat, derived from whole milk bu use of a separator may be regulated by either the cream screw or skimmed millc screw. The poultryman who aims to keep his hens laying their best during the months of June, July' and August, should give careful consideration to what he feeds his flock, avers a poul- try expert. "After a hen has laid heavily dur- ing the winter and spring," he says, "she should be fed a food richer in protein, for if she 'does not receive food containing the elements from which eggs are made, she must draw upon the tissues of her own body to furnish egg -making material. "To make the summer ration five per cent. of -protein should be added to the spring ration. A moist mash should be fed mice a day, the moisture being rubbed into the mash with the hands. Do not stir the moisture in with a stick or spoon. "Plenty -6f succulent feeds should also be fed, such as lettuce and sprout• ed oats It is often worth while to punt a good patch of Swiss chard for summer feeding, for there is no green food during July, August and Septem- bey that can compare with this green for coloring tate yolk and keeping stens healthy, Besides, if the tops of the chard are cut, it will produce second and third crops of leaves, A grain ration far June and July can be made up of two parts of shrunken wheat (unmiliable) and ane, part of cracked corn (by weight), and oneart of soaked oats (by weight).

The best Shoe Stores sell FLEET FOOT In the spring of 1916 I began to keep record of the work done by my horses, says a successful farmer. The record consists of a set of cards 5 x 8 inchesy which are divided into thirty- one spaces, one space for each day in the month. I use one card, a month for each horse. On the left half of each card I enter the cost of feeding, shoeing, medical attention and other expenses, while on the right half I enter the number of hours of work done by that horse, and also credit the value of the manure it produces, the colt, etc. The figures for last year were quite a surprise to me, Before starting my record I estimated that $5.50 per month would be a fair average cost of keeping my horsesbut imagine my surprise when I discovered that each horse was costing me $7.12 per month or $85.44 a year. After adding up the number of hours, I found that my horse labor had cost me $1.35 a day. One reason for this large cost was that the work had been unevenly dis- tributed among the horses, and some were idle when they could have been working. I also found that the pas- ture had not been used as much as tt might have been. These errors I in- tend to remedy during the present year. 13y distributing the work more evenly I can dispense with the extra horses. ' Food Situation in France. 1917.the wheat production in France was 45 per cent. of the normal production or 30.9 per cent of her nor- mal requirements. After deducting seed, 1917 production Left only one- third France's normal needs, France is under a ration of one pound of meat per person per week, including horse -flesh; France is under a ration of one and one-tenth pounds of sugar per person per month. - t Excellent vegetable broths can be made without any meat at all, e Must Save 1918 Harvest. Great Britain in peace. times de- pends upon imports for four-fifths of her food supply. One out of every seven of Scotland's total population is in the army; in England one out of every twelve; in Canada one out of every 17. Britain, despite army demands for men, has increased her farm acreage by help of women, boys and labor di- verted from towns and cities. She has also increased her production of munitions and ships, and her manufac- tured exports, such as cotton, by which she finances herself. But most of her usual sources of food supplies have been cut off by the war and scarcity of ships. Can- ada produces the largest available food surplus in the British Empire. The responsibility for feeding the armies and the Mother Country falls directly upon Canada. The harvest of 1918 must be saved or millions will starve. Train Colts Early. A colt should always be broken to the halter before it is weaned, while one has a good opportunity of ap- proaching it. Indeed, it should be taught to lead and to stand tied when only a week er two old, and there- after it should be handled a great deal so that it evill be gentle, rather than to let it grow up into a wild young thing that will let no one approach it. After weaning, before the close stabling sea- son arrives, it pays to go to the pas- ture field occasionally with a halteh for the purpose of leading the colt up to water. "The art of life, says Trist, is to show yourhand. There is no diplom- acy like candor.

It puzzled ]s Rathbone. 0 Mise R hb She toafish e.had ane . and indifferent and unawakened wo- men, but never before had she met that sulien resentfulness. It sur- prised her to find the girl waiting when the meeting was over. A.s soon as she could she turned to her, "I Wanted to tell you," the girl cried, "that I have set my heart on go- ing to France! I was going with my college unit for reconstruction work. And then the family wouldn't let me," "It was a disappointment, I know," the apeaker said sympathetically, The girl flared,into anger, "Disap. pointment! It was so small --that's what humiliates me. Asif this were a time to think in terns of one's family, or even one's country! It's the whole world we belong to -or should!" "But surely," Miss Rathbone re- sponded, "there is plenty of work -oh, an overwhelming amount of work -'to be done everywhere!" "I suppose," the girl cried a,eornful ly, "you mean knitting! Or perhaps. putting up string beans or tomatoes!" ,Something happened then to Miss Rathbone -something that made her eyes flash and brought a crisp note into her voice that strartied the girl. "Will you tell me your name?" she asked. "Virginia Newbold." "Well, Virginia Newbold, I am go- ing to say something to you straight out. It will probably make you angry, but as you will never see me again that needs make no difference. I am going to tell you the truth about your- self..

Would she see? Controlling Cutworms. Cutworms, which are often preval- ent at this time of the year, can be fairly well controlled by making a poison mash of twenty-five pounds of bran to two pounds of Paris green. The bran anal Paris green should be thoroughly mixed while dry and thea slightly moistened so that the Paris green will adhere to the bran. This should be sprinkled around the plants toward evening so that it will still be moist when the cutworms come out to do their damage. The winding of the plants with paper is -of little use, as the paper gives the worms as good a foothold as the plants. For trees a band of cotton wrapped to an umbrella shape is a barrier to the cutworms in getting to the tope of the trees. The digging of the ground around the plants will often reveal the cut- worms, as they spend their daytimes just under the ground near the plants that they have damaged. They can be destroyed by dipping in kerosene, or by crushing them. The able-bodied man who is out f work this year is indeed a slacker. Potato starch and alcohol are being used in England to make a substitute for rubber. A company in Virginia has been organized to make synthetic (artificial) rubber out of calcium car- bide.

A baby should be fed every three hours from the first to the sixth month of life, omitting food from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. After the sixth month he should be fed only once in four hours. The average quantity for a feeding is three ounces in the first month, four in the second, then increasing one ounce per month until the end of the eighth month. Cows' milk should be diluted with boiled water, two ounce"s of water be- ing added for one ounce of milk dur- ing the first month, and the quantity of water being then gradually reduced until the tenth month when the milk may be given undiluted. A teaspoonful of common sugar or milk sugar or maltose may be added to each feeding if it agrees with the child, and it is often desirable to add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda or of table salt, Instead of using water it is some- times well to dilute the milk evith bar- ley or rice or oatmeal water thorough- ly boiled and strained, a tablespoonful of the cereal being boiled an hour or longer in a pint of water, If the baby's stools contain curds it means the cheese in the milk is not well digested, in which ease the milk may be peptonized or predigested with essence of pepsin, letting it stand at 'ordinary room temperature until it is curdy; it must then be put into the ice box at once to arrest further di- gestion. This is important for if you let it stand until it is bitter the baby will refuse to take it. When the first few teeth have come through, a little clear soup, free from fat may be given and the baby may also have a small piece of toast. You may also give him whey or milk or week gelatine water. If he should have diarrheoea give him half a tea- spoonful or a teaspoonful of castor ail, thoroughly mixed with an equal quantity or twice the quantity of wintergreen, cinnamon, or peppermint water, lessening the number of feed- ings or even stopping them altogether fora Alsoday. yo0 may wash out the rectum carefully with half a pint of warm starch water, following it up with an injection of half e, pint of warm wa- ter containing half a teaspoonful of salt. Be sure and inject very slowly and do not give the baby pain. When a baby's food agrees with him he will increase in weight after the first month and if he weighed seven pounds at birth, he should have gained five Pounds when three months old, three and a half pounds more when six months old, three pounds more at nine months, and two and a half more at twelve months. A well-developed child will there- fore weigh about twenty-one pounds et the end of his first year of life. These are only a few hints, but I , have tried to make them plain and ' free from the contjalications and mat thematics with which many papers oil the subject of infant feeding are ob- scured. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. L. I. B.-1. What is the cause of obstruction of. the bowels? Is it due' to external injury, and if so what are its symptoms ? 2. -Does this occur usually in the aged or may it happen at any pe- riod of life? 3. -Can it be caused by rupture. Answer -1. -It may be caused in a great many different ways, by the formation of adhesions in the abdo. men, drawing the loops in the intes- tines together, by telescoping of one portion of the intestine to another, by constipation and in various other ways. I suppose it may be possible by external injury, but I satinet for the moment, see exactly how this could be done. 2. -It may occur in any period of life, from infancy to old age. 3. -It is not infrequently associat- ed with rupture. *r v" .rrnv' nc Willie planted hollyhocks, There's nothing stra tgb in.thet; Sat when they bloomed, ileo hewers WOO just I,lkit thottt 911.141.1, 0.110t. -, a.rv;..._ hrioeSo t ern Cea t/e• Co,, Limited Controls Water Powers on the St, Francis River capable of over 100,000 H.P. development, and through stock own- orehip controls several Light & Power Companiee, The Company supplies power and light to over 45 mimi- cipalitles in the Province of Quebec, principally in the Mae tern Townships.
