An examination of the eyes reveals serione defects; these are corrected by prcprr glasses, and the effect is most marked. The child appears happier, makes good progress in his studies, and takes his rightful plate in the school community. Glasaes or no glasses, there are some things that cannot be done with the eyes except etgrave peril. Too little light strains the eyes, and so does too much. A direct glare right in the face is quite as bad as a room that ie too dim to see properly, For reading, sewing, or other work Which regnirea close and accurate viston the light should be clear and steady and should come from above and behind. e c Earache is a common and distressing trouble in young children. It often access in connection with winter colds and in the course of measles and starlet fever; it due to an infection of the middle ear, the EARACHE poisonous germs being carried from the throat up the little passage called the Eustachian tube to the middle portion of the ear just inside the ear -drum. In other eases it occurs in children who have adenoids and large tonsils. In cases of earache which are severe and which may easily be neglected because the mother may not know the dan- ger, the eardrum may burst from the pressure of muco -pus inside it and the and is left with a running ear, This is often difficult, to cure. In other Cases the infection may spread to the cella or honeycomb of bone in the mastoid bone behind the ear and necessitate an operation. These bad. results may frequently be prevented by a timely puncture of the drum, which at once gives relief and soon clears up the case. In an earache of any severity or where the pain bests over a day or so, always Call in a corns petent pbysiciao or an ear specialist, aud give your oh Id the best chance possible. Its mild cases relief may be given by putting a few drops of warm olive oil in the ear and a hot water bottle outside, a e A 2.—Itespon.elbility for Disinfection. J.D., Smith's bane.

TOMATOES ALSO A (IOOD LI$E But All Danger of )Fronts Should lie Passed Before Tender Crops Are Put in the Ground. (By S, C. JOHNSTON. Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department or Agriculture, 'Toronto.) Some of our vegetables are very tender and should not be planted until after all denser of frost is over, It must be remembered that because the soil is ready to receive the plants it is not absolutely necessary that the `rower should set the plants out. Potatoes planted out between 24th 5.fay and even the first of June will give excellent results. Tomatos may be set out after the 6th of ,tune and good returns expected, as some sea- sons a severe frost destroys many tomato plants as late as June eth. Vine trope such as cucumber and squash may be planted after all dan- ger of frost is over. POTATOES. Potatoes are one eros wbieh may be planted on land which is considered to be in a very rough condition, Possibly there is no better crop to be planted on land which has been in sod for a number of years. Medium-sized tubers of good quality should be securedand they should be cut so that there are at least two eyes in each piece or set. It is a good plan in a small garden to have the soil prepared fairly well, then cut the seed and commence planting. Furrows may be made with the hoe about six inches deep and two feet apart. The sets may be placed twelva inches apart in the bottom of the furrow and should be covered with two inches of soil. This will leave the young plant more or less in a trench. As the plants grow the soil will be gradually drag - ed up and the trench will be filled, It will be necessary to cultivate the soil between the rows so as to keep down weeds, and al the same time soil should be gradually drawn up to the tops in sufficient quantities so that the growing roots will not be exposed to the sunlight, which will 'cause them to 'urn green and be of inferior quality. If an early varlets has boon plan e1 and a vigorous growth has r, suited 11 Is possoble that some may 1,e tit to dig in August. By removing some of the soil from around a hill with the hand one can tell whether they are fit to dig. If the potatoes are grown for winter use they do not need to be dug until quite late' in the tall. The tops will die down at the first frost, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be dug immediately. They should, how- ever, be dug before there is any severe frost. TOMATOES. The tomato is one of the most popular vegetables either fresh or lu a preserved con- dition. It may be grown quite easily In the backyard. The better practice with tomatoes is to purchase the plants ready for transplanting rather than attempting to grow these plants If one has not bad experience in handling a hot -bed. Plants having a large root system are best, and the stock in any case should at least be the size of a lead pencil. The soil should be thoroughly prepared be- fore planting time, possibly a crop of lettuce or radish may be taken from the same, but it is always advisable to have plenty of manure incorpor- ated in the soil. A shallow hole may be made with the common hoe to in- sert the roots of the tomato plant. These roots should be thoroughly watered so that the soil will cling close to the roots when they are set out in the garden. The plant sbould be set fairly deep and the earth should he firmed around the roots. If the season is dry and hot, water may be poured .wound the plant in order to facilitate growth. These plants may be set two feet apart if they are to be trained on stakes and kept from coverlie: tt large space in the garden, Theo : stakes should be preferably six feet long, two inches wide, and one inch thick. They may be driven into the soil a few days after the plant has been set out and theick with tied nnstick louts tie t to the 1 a piece of twine or cotton in such a manner that the tie will be directly under the leaf. As the plant de- veloper in size in front of each leaf a slender growth called a side shoot will appear, These: must be removed by pressing them out with the thumb when very small. Four or Ane ties will be necessary to support the plant. As a result of the staking fruits of a superior quality will ripen earlier than those grown on the ground. Callane.Y Celery may be grown in many garden soils if they have been heavily dressed with manure. For the backyard gardener it will be much better if the plants are se- cured ready for setting out about the 24th of May, All the plants should be set on the level from six to eight inches apart in the row and from two feet to thirty laches be- tween the rows. It will be found necessary to water celery more than any other crop in the garden, and the soil between the rows should be stirred constantly. In the fall when the celery has reached eumeient height it will be found necessary to blanch it. Possibly the beat me- thod being to stand twelve inch boards against the rows of plants, holding them in position with atakes at each end. In from ten days 10 two weeks the celery plants will have grown considerably, and owing to the exclusion of the light will have become fairly well whitened, which Improves the quality. The celery plants should be used as soon as pos- sible alter bleaching. Other methods of bleaching celery are the drawing of earth up around the plant grad- eaolly, eommeneing when the head of °lents are about four inches thn ground.
