Address Agronomist, care of Wilson Publishing Co., Ltd„ 73 Adelaide' St, W,, Toronto, Aniount,'of Bordeaux Needed for en Acre. titre amount of Bordeaux needed per acre varies with the sire of the potato vines to be sprayed and . the method of applying. Fifty gallons will cover an acro of small plants. Very large plants may need 100 gal- lons, Severity -five gallons per acre on an average for each spraying will be ample. The number of sprayings will be varied according to the wea.tli- er, Three may be enough .during a season of light rainfall Out five is a common number used when conditiolie favor blight development. Some things to keep in mind when making Bordeaux and applying it to potatoes. 1. That Bordeaux is a preventive) and not a erre. To be effective it must, therefore, be applied before the disease gets a start, 2. That the quantity of lime should always be equal to the quantity of cop- per sulphate.An excess of lime will do no harm as long as itis kpot used in sufficient quantity to elog the noz- zles: 3. Use only -wooden or carthern vessels in which to handle the copper sulphate. This material corrodes tin or iron. '4. Have both~the copper sulphate and the lime diluted before they are combined. If they are put' together when too strong, they will not stay in suspension. 6. Strain everything which goes in- to the spray barrel through a copper gauze sieve with forty meshes to the inch, or two or three thicknesses 'of cheesecloth. 6. Do not use Bordeaux which has stood over night after being prepared. Do not use air -slaked lime when mak- ing Bordeaux. 7. Keep the foliage as completely covered as possible after the plants are five or six inches tall until frost or the maturity of the crop. 8. To be most effective Bordeaux should be applied with a pressure of 160 to 120 pounds. This should not, however, discourage growers from using any form of sprayer which may be available, 9. Remember that Bordeaux is1us- ed to prevent blight and other fol- iage troubles. It will not oyerconne the effect of poor seed, poor soil con- ditions nr poor cultural practices. R. T,-Ourmaple shade trees are being mit. beet( every year because of electric wires running alopg,our roads. Will title injure the trees? Answer: --The only danger that would occur to the shade trees, would be by pruning off large limbs. and leaving wounds that would "blood" severely. If any largo limbs have to be pruned or, I would adyise Painting the sear immediately so as to prevent the loss of sap as far as possible, 13, G H.: -I wish to discover the proper fertilizer to Use on my farm. Is it ,necessary to have a chemical analysis 'made of the soil? Answer: -The chemical analysis of the soil tells the total amount of plantfood:-nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in the soil, -but does not distinguish between the available and unavailable supply of, these materials in the AI. A chemical analysis therefore only indicative and is not a sure basis on which to advise fertiliz- ing' practices. To a farmer that un- derstands chemistry, of course, it would be of value, but to the average man, untrained in this science, a chemical analysis would not be of particular jtssistance. Probably the best Reay the practical farmer can get at information as ,to what fertilizer will pay best on his oil is by choos I ing a plantfood suited to make ep for the characteristic weaknesses of the soil and to meet the needs of the crop which is being fEtitilizecl. For instance, clay soils aro fairly well supplied in all three important plant - foods. After they have been farm- ed for sometime the nitrogen and phosphoric acid become deficient. If you are attempting to grow a good crop of grass on this land you will need to add fertilizer high in nitrogen. If it is grain you are fertilizing a medium amount of nitrogen and relatively high amount of phosphoric acid with a little potash would pay best. If these crops are to be grown on sandy soil you must keep in mind that sandy soil is poor in all three of the plantfood constituents, Hence, a larger quantity of all three ingredi- ents will have to be used to give sat- isfactory results. • On' many farms poultry accounts have` been entirely .neglected even• when other accounts have been care- fully recorded. The result has been that the farmer has never known what his hens were doing. In some cases the flock has been a paying pro- position and the hens have received no credit for the work, The raising of poultry has not been increased be- cause the amount of money the hens have added to the farm income has not been known. In other cases the flock has been consistently a losing proposition when the farmer,has con- sidered it as profitable. This has been due to estimating the amount of food used and the return for the eggs. The estimates have been very inaccurate on some farms and the poultry business will be in line for reorganization,_ The time and effort required to keep poultry accounts is very small. When once the habit of entering up sales and feed bilis has been formed it be- comes almost an instinct to place the hand on the record book at the first opportunity after a transaction has been completed, Personally, I feel uncomfortable after a deal until I have had a chance to unload my mind and transfer my rough notes to the columns of the poultry account book. A complicated system of book- keeping is not necessary to determine the profits and losses in the poultry business. The.principal point is to record all sales or bills promptly and then at, the end of each month it is possible to quickly strike a balance and know hots the business stands. Of course, it is not possible to know exactly how a poultry buiness stands each month because of the growing stock which is being fed. Its value is not definitely known. However, if the receipts anti expenditures are carefully recorded, it will be possible to_tell the .profits in the poultry busi- ness at the end of the' year and also make a report on the income that will be accurate and satisfactory. The dairy cow is a most important factor in winning the war. Food, we are told, is as necessary as munitions, and meat is one of the prime articles of food. The beef supply of the near future must come solely from the present stook of cows. Dairymen generally attach not very much value to ordinary calves, but keep cows wholly for milk production, especially those dairymen who sell the whole milk. The stock of calves for the countey's beef supply will depend largely, then, on the price of milk. I1 the beef supply is increased it must be done primarilyby mills command, ing sufficiently high a price as to en- courage its production and the keep - Ing of larger m a t tuber of cows, and then by a prlce for beef that shall insure a profit in raising the calvee. to beef ege. A conelderablo liro- partiou of, the pork, too, comes .frone pigs raised by dairymen Who sell cream or batter and keep the pigs to consume the skinnnillt, It is admit. ted, I think, the t pigs cell be grown more economically in tiffs Way than in any other, So that an increase in jeorle supply is dependent in large tntdltarre on the dairy cone, Save Your Seed. Ontario gardeners who would like to be'sure of a supply of seed in 1919 had best begin to prepare to raise enough this 'summer for their future needs. This peecaution most be tak- en, because the seed upon which the country would normally depend will not be forthcoming in 1919. "The reserve supply if seed usually carried by the seed houses has never ben so low in the history of the busi- ness," a bulletin from the horticul- turists says. "This is attributable to a number of causes, among which may be mentioned the failure of the supply from Europe; the use of many seeds for feed, an increase o1 about fifty per cent. in the demand for planting, and the , adverse weather conditions. "The old-time practice of saving one's own garden seed Gan in this emergency be revived with advantage -remembering that the fundamentt.tl rrincii:le in successful seed saving is selection of seed only from the hest plants. To Mend Drop Stitch How many women have looked with dismay upon a silk or lisle stock- ing that appears almost unmendable, because of a stitch that has run down the length of the stocking, Such a run can be easily mended. Use a fine crochet hook, picic up the dropped stitch and continue crochet- ing all along the raveled Part. Care must be taken to pick up every thread as you work along the length of stocking. Fasten the last stitch securely with a needle and thread. If two or more stitches have been dropped the rip is wider, but continue working each stitch in a straight line. If the work is done carefully the mend will hardly be detected. When Baby Gets Prickly heat. If your baby has prickly heat very badly look to his food, Often times the prickly beat is caused as much from the heat inside as well as from the heat • outside the body. Over- feeding in the hot weather may cause the blood to be overheated. Reduce the food a little. It were better to consult a physician, however, as to how much to reduce it. . Chemin Des Dames.

BRITAIN RAISES RABBITS. hopes Thus to Produce Hundred Thousand Tons of Meat. By their campaign to increase the keeping of tame rabbits the Food Pro- duction Department hope to produce 100,000 tons of meat by the late au- tumn, The special value of this moat will be that it will be produced where it is to be consumed thus rendering unnecessary any call either on railway haulage or shipping.

The Food Production Department will shortly issue a detailed pamphlet dealing with every phase of rabbit keeping, both for breeding and feed- ing purposes, with diagrams of suit- able hutches. This pamphlet draws special attention to the feet that as rabbit flesh contains a relatively small quantity of fat the best course for all who are able to adopt it is to com- bine rabbit with pig keeping, "Rabbit flesh"anti bacon together wj11 supply a meal as rich in food as beef or mutton. For example, 3 lbs. of rabbit and 1 lb. of bacon will pro- vide more nitrogenous and fatty food than is provided by four pounds of beef."

C. -Will you plea:,e write an article on infant teething? It i8` an old story that ttething has b. en held responsible Inc multitudes of ills in babies and ;to,tng children, if no more definite cause could 1,e for, nd, It is only a round -anent way, at •least in many cases, of saying, ' don't know what ails the child." Teething is a most important pro- cess, but is seldom so serious a mat- ter and so likely to produce disease as many.of us have been brought up to believe. There is no fixed rule for the ap- Ipearance of the teeth, the lower ones usually come before the upper, the first set between the seventh and twenty-fourth months, the second be- tween the sixth and twenty-first years. . Six front teeth in either jaw seize the food and cut it to four laterals; it is transferred by the tongue and teeth for partial cutting and grinding, while the finishing grinding and crushing are clone by six back teeth. A full set of second teeth, thus, numbers thirty-two. Teeth have an important relation to one's looks' they aid articulation and they help greatly in determining hard and soft, heat and cold in food. There are practically no third teeth, and in sante cases there are none at any period, just as there are cases without hair. There may be teedh at birth or their eruption may be deferred inde- finitely, especially if a child has rickets, syphilis or tuberculosis, Delayed first teeth often have a bearing on the appearance and con dition of the second. Wisdom teeth are frequently di-' sensed, deformed and of little use. Extra teeth are possible but are us-; ually imperfect .and defective. Teeth may be irregular in various ways from disease or Mechanical) conditions. Pain is an ever possible symptom, before, during, or after the eruption! of the teeth. It is clue to their sensitive struo- I tore and nerve supply, to disease, de- cay and poor nutrition, local or gen- era!, Such pain may be accompanied ? with neuralgia of the head and face, contraction of the muscles which close the jaw and, in infectious cases, with abscess. In infancy, there are certain con- ditions not present in subsequent life which have always tended to magnify the importance of the teething pro- An infant's nervous system is ex- cessively sensitive and easily thrown out of equilibrium, with the produc- t tion of convulsions, by causes which would not disturb an older child; 'he vomits his food at the :.lightest pro- vocation-• his body temperature would be fatalin a,n adult; he reacts to sensations of pain with persistent I crying or screaming. There is no doubt that many in- fants suffer pain when the teeth are trying to break through; hot, reel and swollen lemur indicate this, also the rubbing of the mouth and gums with the fists, the desire to bite hard substances, abundant flow of saliva, ,restlessness. flushed cheeks, vein eruption, diarrhoea, and many other evidences af. disturbance. Neither is there any doubt in these 1 eases that there is irritation of the nervous system; but many of the symptoms may be removed by ration- al' procedure, scarifying the gums in proper crises, a dose of castor oil, ap- plications of cold, change in the food, etc., but seldom -if ever, by pulling out the teeth; the teething process has to go on. In regard to the diseases which teething was supposed to produce, most, if •not all of them, are germ diseases, with their particular and specific cause; and, while teething may act as an irritant, increase the child's susceptibility- and diminish his resisting power, it does not, in the opthion of the best modern observers, cause these diseases,.
