Seeds, For the Most Part, Are Planted• Too Deep. In the mind of the beginner, says the National Stockman and Farmer, and of the young farmer there is some- times considerable doubt as to the depth corn should be planted. The same thing applies to wheat and to oats. As a general -criticism the judg- ment and observation of experienced farmers affirm that seeds are for the most part placed too deep. Some farm- ers have done so, but I have never planted corn on any field in which it was wise to allow the planter frame to "float" (take its own depth). I- have never planted corn so shallow that it proved any damage to the resulting st: 1 of corn, yet many a time, espe• chis!•' in the first years, have we plant- ed parts of the field so deep that tbeq never came up at all if wet weather set in after early planting. We have learned that it pays best to plant our corn 'just as shallow as we Our 'Annual Hummer ' Cann• paign tor Non -Fertile New -Laid Cgs Began This Week to smiting the levet' to proper uepttts when necessary. The wan wiio has given careful attention to those things seldom allows his planter to aero tau deep and almost never, leaves a \till uncovered. and if he leaves one au,:at'- ered itis attention to the job ,causes him to see it and corer before passing on. The farmer who is learning to plant corn should take advice in the beginning that uniform depth of plant- ing is under Ills control quite absolute- ly by means of careful attention: to same every minute. Especially .in case of vire sprinfig it often be omnes desirable to give the soil the last-barrowing dir0Vtly in front of the corn pltuiter.

Even if occa- sional: hills be left uncovered I believe that ft is much better to follow up with a hoe and cover the occasional hill by hand than to set the planter un- necessarily deep just to catch the firm spots of ground. The man who bas done much corn planting on fieldsin which the soil varies in texture will have learned to keep constant watch and change his governing lever as the planter moves from one kind of ground to another more firm or less firm. In a field of this kind it is out of the ques- tion to set the planter for a definite depth and maintain it from end to endl• of a row, and row after row. and, at the same time do an accurate job of plac- ing the corn at the right depth. It is impossible to forecast the weather; therefore trying to plant in anticipation of wet or dry weather is out of the question as well. The best way to do is to anticipate a wet spell and plant the corn shallow. We have had such corn lie in the ground for sev- eral days before receiving sufficient moisture to admit of germination, but this corn subsequently came up well and made a usual crop. But planting deep for fear of being left uncovered, for fear of dry weather, simply out of carelessness, 'etc., locates the corn so deepsometimes that in case of wet. Weather it rots badly before it: can get sufficient air to make'germinatlon pos- sible. Much complaint bas often been made of corn rotting in wet spots, whereas it would have germinated well had it not been planted so deep. Better a great deal leave an occasional hill uncovered than to regulate the planter for such an unusual, depth as to render germination of the other hundreds of hills quite doubtful. and I owe her life to that kindly advice The first thing to do is to have the of an old friend, I would advise all mothers to give "Dr. rowleris" a prom- inent place in their medicine chest.

Careful Herding Means Difference Be• tween Profit and Loss. There is a right and wrong way even in the matter of eating grass. On•tbe national forest sheep ranges two bands of lambs of equal weight, breeding and general conditions were • handled as follows One band was herded in the usual way, the herder letting the lambs choose largely where 'they should pasture on the range. The other band was herded on portions of the range where the various grasses and herbage were developed to just the right stage of growth. The latter plan of handling the lambs resulted in a saving of feed from trampling and close cropping where the feed was the most toothsome. The result was that the lambs made to feed when and where the herdel .desired weighed an average of five pounds each more at the end of the season than those allowed to range at will. On a flock of 4,000 or 5,000 lambs • the gain from scientific handling of the lambs would be over $1,000 for the season. A FEW SUGGESTIONS 510W TO GET FIRST CLASS EGGS IN HOT WEE THEIS.- 1.

Hirst, 194 Palmerston Avenue, Toronto, Ont., writes us under date of January 23rd, 1914. The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. Dear Sirs :—"Last summer I had grave anxiety for my little girl, who was just one year old in July last. She had con- stant and severe attacks of summer complaint, and it seemed to drag on her so long despite the many remedies I tried. My neighbors told me she had grown so weak they thought. I would loose her. One night while nursing her an old friend of mine happened to come to see me, and after telling her about my baby's lingering, illness she asked me to, try, Dr. Fowler's: Extract of Wild Straw- berry. I' sent a little girl to our drug store and bought a bottle, and after having given the baby one dose i w,noticed a remarkable change, and after giving her three or four doses she was well again, and began to walk, which she had not been able to do prior to her attack. She is new a fine healthy child, planter working right; if it is out of order, if the marker is so loosely hung that constant watch has to be exer- cised for fear of losing it, etc., no man can give ^tborough,'attention to the necessary details of the machine and Smallf dose. r Smady ll i ,a 1.5 i t1 for Coughs rend o ds; bottle.

When they are first put foto harness young horsesare particularly liable to be galled by the harness because their skin is not accustomed to the pressure and friction caused by the collar, pad, etc., says the American Cultivator. Horses just up from grass are also specially susceptible: to suffer from this trouble because of their soft condition. The fact of a horse's system'being in a heated state or "humors" is another predisposing cause of harness galls and sores, while some horses are en usually prone to them, owing to their skin being specially sensitive and deli- cate. elitate. In all these cases it is a useful plan. in order to harden the skin, to bathe the parts exposed to galling twice or thrice a day with a saturated solution of alum. while a lotion con- sisting of bluestone (copper sulphate)'. dissolved in water at the rate of five grains to an ounce of water, may alas be recommended for use as a toughen- ing oughening agent and to counteract any tende enoy on the part of the sign to be- come chafed. One simple remedy for abrasions and sores caused by the harness is oxide of zinc ointment. Photo by C. M. Barnitz.

Many a woman is gathering information to -day that will ing fluence her selection of a stove two months hence. Many a man is thinking right now about the store he will pat- ronize for his Fall suit and overcoat. ,' Many an October piano purchase is. really determined on the porch of a summer hotel or home in August. Bow unwise, then, to put off the Advertising of these and similar articles until the actual time of their use arrives. One advertisement` seldom makes a sale. It is the repeated' impressions created by Advertising that develops purchases by a discriminating pub- lic—and these impressions are seldom built up in .a day, a week or a month. Yet some manufacturers and merchants still procrastinate until the first nip of frost is felt--- and then besiege the public with belated an- nouncements of Fall clothes, kitchen ranges, home furnishings, winter underwear, and other articles usually purchased in the Fall. Purchased in the Fall -oh, yes—but decided upon in the Summer. Decided in favor of the goods that are continuously advertised. It's the Advertising read in July that bears fruit in September' and October. For to -day's impressions inevitably lead to to -morrow's sales.
