A Valuable Fertilizing Material That le Often Neglected. [Prepared by the United States depart- ment of agriculture.] It probably occurs to few farmers that it would be, worth their while to save their wood ashes and return to the land a considerable amount of val- uable fertilizing material, yet there Is no reason why this cannot be done with a very small expenditure of care and labor. It is not, of course, to be expected that the average farm household will accumulate enough ashes to take the place of the imported potash which has hitherto played such an important part in fertilizing American land and the supply of which has now been prac- tically cut off by the European war. Nevertheless it is quite certain that a bushel of wood ashes has suiiicient fertiliaing value to make its preserva- 'EEE SPROUTS SIX YEARS OLD KDCT DOWN BY OA2 LE. tion well worth while. The ashes may be applied as a top dressing to grass land and to pastures, where they fos• ter the growth of cloverand desirable grasses, aiding them tocrowd out in- ferior kinds and weeds. For corn and roots ashes are also helpful, but be- cause of their' lime content they are not so good for potatoes. It is essential, however, that the farmer do not permit bis ashes to leach. In many households,it has been customary in the past for housewives to save the ashes and leach out the potash for use in making .cap. Obvi- ously if the potash is leached out the ashes have lost their chief usefulness to the land. For agricultural purposes the ashes from different species of trees vary considerably in value, Thus the ashes from such soft woods as pine contain less phosphorus and potash than those from the harder woods, like oak, elm, maple and hickory. The ashes of twigs and small branches are also worth more than the yield from heart- wood taken from the middle of an old tree. In general it may be said that the smaller and younger the wood that is burned the better the ashes. This means that by bestowing a lit tle care upon his wood lot the farmer. can obtain for himself the fuel that will be most usefulto him, 'while at the same time its removal benefits in- stead of injuring his woods. It is of- ten the case that very little, if any, discrimination is used when cutting down the trees for fuel. More judg- ment in this respect would actually benefit the timber that is left standing, while supplying tbe household with all the wood that it needs. Again, it is sheer extravagance to allow stock to pasture in woods. They destroy and retard.youug growth, .pack down the soil and expose the roots of the trees. ]3y taking care of his trees as he would of any other crop tbe farmer in the end will gain much more than by allowing cattle and other stock to feed upon it at will. Mature Corn For Ensilage. it is an irreparable blunder to fill the silo with immature corn. in times past the use of ensilage of this sort eels rn. many amen ut$gu. eu [Lieu with the whole silo proposition. in the first place, such ensilage does not have as great feeding value as that made from mature corn, and in the second place it is apt to throw stock completely out or condition. Corn contains the highest percentage of nutrients when it reaches a point where it can be said to be mature. This does not mean that it is ready for cribbing, but it does tneau that the grain must, be firm, and in all probability the lower leaves will be turning yellow. If the fodder is a1- lowed to get too, dry the ensilage will not be sufficiently heavy to pack well, and that is why the crop should be, cut after grain has becomewell dent- ed. but before the upper and middle leaves are wilted. Rather than to make the mistake of putting up corn that is immature one had better use water while filling the, silo with fod- der that has become somewhat dried We caption those who are putting up "ensilage for the first time especiai- ly to guard against the storing of the erop while it is in a condition to•cle- velop too large a percentage of organ- lc rganlcacids.-Iowa Homestead. War News Affected Her. Many people who have been reading the terrible war news from day to day, especially those who have relatives at the seat of war, have become so nervous that it is impossible for them to sleep. 'The nerves have become unstrung and the heart perhaps affected. Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills will build up the unstrung nervous system and strengthen the weak heart. Miss Hildia Dicaire, Martintown, Ont., writes; . "In August, 1914, I was out of school for my health. I was visit- ing friends in London, and heard of the war. It made, me so nervous that I could not sleep, but after using Mil - burn's Heart and Nerve Pills I improved greatly, and could take my school again. I have recommended them to many of my friends."

(Prepared by United States department of agriculture.) The best breeds of draft horses are now so well established in the United States that experts of the United States department of agriculture be- lieve that the European war, winch •has interfered seriously with importa- tions, will not injure breeding in this country. It is, in fact, asserted that the American people will now have an opportunity to see for themselves that as good stock can be raised in this country as any that can be imported. The leading characteristic of good draft horses is massiveness, for their chief usefulness is the hauling of heavy loads. In consequence power, not speed, is desired. To possess this power a horse should be compact, low set, or short legged, and be able to throw a great deal of weight into his collar without losing a secure footing. A. draft horse of the best type should therefore weigh at least 1,800 pounds, and in localities where the heaviest breeds are common any animal under this is classed as a light drafter. In good drafters the chest is deep and AMERICAN BRED PERCH:CRON MA= broad, the girth large and the body lamed, deep and comparatively short,, With well sprung ribs. The muscles of the hind quarters and thighs must be well developed, for it is these that futeish the chief drawing power, the front legs acting largely as weight car- riers. ,Good legs and feet, with clean, heavy bone, are very essential. In ac. tion the' than horse should walk with a rapid etelde of good length, the feet being carried straight forward. This kind of actioncovers considerable ground in a short time. 'The ability to tint well is also desirable, but the wall; is the draft horse's gait, Today the Percheron probably out- numbers hi this coo.ttry all other breeds combined. In f It condition a couture stallion will weigh from 1,800 to 2,000 pounds, though many exceed this.

Inc'revel% fon stailion has proved very popular for crossing with ordinary mares, and grade Percherons are great favorites In our markets. Loss of Barnyard Manure. Pile up the manure of the barnyard with no protection from leaching and other detrimental actions • of nature. and more than 20 per cent of the fer- tilizing strength of g t the manure is lost. Put down a bed of earth and on this pile the manure, spreading a thin coat of earth occasionally, and finally when the heap is completed, cover It with a thick coat of earth. The result has been that only about 2 per cent of the fertilizing strength of the manure has been lost. Tested in the field, earth preserved manure has been found to yield on a potato crop three times as much as the carelessly kept and unpro- tected manure. Soon the cattle will be in the stalls foe winter feeding and the timefor mai ing the manure heaps will begin. ;Phis is a year when conserving every- thing that is useful that has been going, to waste should command the atten- tion of the farmer. -Home and Farm- stead. SOMETHING ABOUT CATTLE No farmer who has not tried It should engage in the cattle feeding business on a large scale at the start. He will find, and generally at pretty high cost, that experience and good judgment are needed as much as corn to lay the fat on a bunch of steers at a profit. The power of production 1n a cow is Inherited. If the cow is a good dairy animal by inheritance and is given good care and feed she will become more productive as she increases in age. The quantity rather than the duality of her milk is influenced by feed. It costs just so much to put a pound of meat on an animal, and if It is lost during the winter, from low feeding or exposure, it is just that much extract- ed from the owner's pocket. It is much more profitable and sensible to retain every pound of flesh gained and also if possible to keep encb animal improving all through the winter. Pure bred dairy cattle will often be the keynote to great profit from the farm. what is the use of keeping au indifferent. nonproducing animal of any description when one that will make a bantlsome profit will mire no more room, no more care and no more feed? THE WEAK SPOT IN THE BACK. When the kidneys get ill the back gives out. But the back is not to blame. The ache comes from the kidneys, which lie under the small of the back. Therefore, dull pain in the back, or sharp, quick twieges, are warnings of sick kidneys -warnings of kidney trouble. Plasters and liniments will not cure a bad back, for they cannot reach the kidneys which cause it. Doan's Kidney Pills reach the kidneys themselves. They are a special kidney and bladder medicine. They heal the diseased surface of kidneys and bladder, and help them to act freely and naturally. Mrs. Chester Romain, Fort Coulonge, Que., writes: "I had been troubled with sere back for over four years, and could get nothing to do ins any good until I heard of your Doan's Kidney Pills. I got three boxes, and took them and now I am completely cured." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50c a box, 3 boxes for 51..25, at all dealers or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T. hill - burn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

And there are several authentic cases of people over eighty years of age who have suffered for years from rheumatism being completely cured by this novel remedy. The explanation lies In the fact that the bee, when it stings, injects a large quantity of formic acid into the body. This acid as has been shown by ex. perience with hundreds of cases, is the best antidote for the poisons in the, system which stiffen the muscles and joints with rheumatism. It is affirmed, too, by physicians that inebriety as well es rheumatism may be cured by bee -sting. This dis- covery was made quite by accident in a London hospital. Five men were being treated for chronic rheumatism. Four of them had been hard drinkers for years, and one was a confirmed drunkard. Bee -stings were applied to them, and the rheumatic condition promptly subsided. When they were finally discharged they found that the treatment had done more than cure the rheumatism -it had destroyed their taste for alcohol. Riven the sight of drink nauseated them, and since leav- ing the hospital several months ago not one of then' has touched liquor. The hospital pliysicians, who were as greatly astonished at this unex- pected result as their patients, set on foot a widespread inveetigation into the effects of bee -stings on drunkards to see whether they are an infallible cure for inebriety. Facts already brought to light show that an 1n- toxicated person is quickly sobered by a bee -sting, and that drinking men who take up work among bees, where they are frequently stung, soon lose their old craving for alcohol. IT APPLIES IN OTHER PLACES. The Kincardine Reporter takes to task 'the church goers in that burg. -Last Sunday morning was a 'fine morning, but it did not induce the church going puble to patron- ize the four 'churches in town. It is estimated that the 'total attend- ance•iut the 'four churches would not reach 500 people. What is the Matter with the good people of Kincardine* Are they affected by Harry Lauder's. song, "it nice to get up in the morning, but its nicer to lie in, bed."
