Ontar- io has been slow in dealing with the question of a provincial flower em- blem, •for the Ontario (H'orticul'tural Association 'has cortsikten•tly urged consideration of the subject for the past twenty years ,and the efforts of ibs officers and members have at last been awarded by the legalization of the White trillium which was adapted at ;their suggestion. As a matter of fact, no ;province of Canada has ever shown any great 'haste in the selec- tion of a !flora'] emblem. In Nowa Sco- tia in 1035, the question was -first mooted, but it was not ,until 31901, that the Trailing A'rbu'tus, locally `known as the May Flower, was legally adop- ted. In the following year Manitoba made official selection .of the Wind Flower and latter on Alberta chose the Wild Rose as its floral emblem, 'The Wild Rose is also the floral badge of Iowa, and the Prairie Wild 'Rose represents !North Dakota. It is also 120 years .ago that the On- tario ,Horticultural Association dis- cussed the question of a'fional emblem for the Dominion, and, although the initiative of the Association led to considenation of the sttb'jeet .by hor- ticultural societies, universities and other institutions throughout the Do- minion, no final decision was arrived at. The Maple Leaf has been accept- ed by the people of Canada without legal iostrument or public proclama- tion as their emblem and has thus been accorded a fixed place along with the rose, the thistle, shamrock, and leek of the peoples of the 'Brit- ish Isles. The rose is also the floral entbdent of New York States, .while well=known national emblems appear in the ,Fleur-de-lis of France ,the Linden of Germany; the Amanankh of Sweden; the Lotus of Egypt, and the Chrysanthemtun of Japan. likely to make the mistake of apply- ing unsuitable ,fertilizers. The average farmers may not yet be aware a the importance of the dif- ferent forms of nitrogen in crop pro- duction. Nitrates are more quickly av- ailable in the early spring than other forms of nitrogen and .this commends their use for early spring application. Many fertilizer authorities now re- commend that at .least one ,per cent. of bhe nitrogen in mixed fertilizers should the in the nitrate form, and and some manufacturers are already aoting on this recommendation.

Re -Stocking the Woodlot and Planting on the Farm 'Cite season for !planting trees is near, and plans should be made early as trees planted in early spring stand a much better 'chance of survival than these planted in 'late spring, The For- estry Branch is continuing the policy of supplying' free trees for planting, The trees may be used for planting bare land, re -stocking a woodlot or the establishment of an evergreen wind -break, !Every farm should have a woodlot large enough to supply the farm- house with ,fuel and ,lubber for tninor building and repairs in order that these products may be secured with- out making a cash outlay. Inferior soils such as sand, 'gravel, swamps, shallow and sheep hillsides, should be left in trees, as they will give very small financial returns if cultivated. These are bhe .areas that should be planted, as they will continue to he a liability rather than an asset as long In ae they are destitute of trees. Planting is not necessary on areas that have' large trees as' they will pro- duce seed and. it will be distributed by the wind, squirrels and other ag- ettcies. This natural reproduction can be secured 'by fencing out the stock and it will he composed of 'bhe more valuable species if they are 'left and tate less valuable (weeds) are remov- ed in order tbhat they will not pro- duce seeds. The planting of a few hundred trees of valuable species not growing now in the woodlot will give more variety and will stake quite a -difference fifty years hence, A -few trees well planted in locations where they will be stere to grow well is far better than ,planting thousands poorly where the competition of natural growth will choke bheni out, Event- ually there will be no woodland in a field if provision is not made to have seedlings, saplings and polewood coming along to lake the place of trees that are cut, Every farm should have an ever- green windbreak to- protect the build- ings from 'the cold winds of winter. A farmer can establish a windbreak be staking a cads outlay of V. for ex- press charges on the trees. In 1,0 to 1115 years he will have an effective windbreak that twill increase the val- ue of his farm and reduce the am- ount of fuel necessary to heat the farmhouse. A year's delay in starting a windbreak means that tthe farm will be a year 'longer without an effective windbreak, Application blanks for trees and descriptive literature may be secured by writing the 'Forestry Branch, Par- liament Buildings, Toronto, or calling at the county agricultural office, Permanent Conservation Com- mittee Selected W. •H.

'Fortunately for the farmer who depends upon horses for his farm power, no such general over- hauling of the power plant is neces- sary and worn parts replace themsel- ves. However, even with horses a certain amount of "tuning up" is es- sential and now is a good time to start. The thorough ,fitting of the horse for his work will ensure the production of mare power at less cost. Most idle horses will have been wintered on a good maintenance ra- tion and rightly so, as horses fatten- ed during the winter are inclined to be soft and in poor condition for hard spring 'and summer work. The maintetnatrce ration of rough feeds should now be gradually replaced by a medium grain ration and better quality roughage, preferably timothy hay, increasing the quantity until a full working ration is :being fed at the start of the heavy .spring work. The preparatory grain ration may consist n.lst of From lip' to ,112 poundsof grain daily in three feeds. At heavy work the ration should consist of b to 1 114 pounds of grain and dr pound of hay for every 100' pounds live weight. A 11500=pound horse would thus re- ceive 115 to 1'9 pounds of grain and 1115 pounds of hay per day, A good me - hod of feeding is as -follows: morn - ng, 6 pounds grain. '5 pounds hay; mon, 6 pounds grain, 3 pounds hay: evening, 4 potutds grain, S pounds say, Rolled oats or whole oats with a little bran are ideal grain rations. A little 'barley or corn, rolled may re- place some of the oats for heavy working horses. Cut the grain ration to one-half on idle days and at week ends. A ,bran crash on Saturday night, .made with molasses and an oc- casional Clash of saltpetre, will prove beneficial 'both during the fitting per- iod and while at work. ;All changes in feeds .should he made gradually. Salt, preferably in rook form, should be before the horses at all times. Allow water freely and fre- quently with the larger supply before rather than after feeding. Water as frequently as possible when working. If the hair is long and 'heavy, clip- ping is desirable and thorough groom- ing is energy well spent at all times. Clean and lit collars and harness c refully, Dail' washing of should - errs after the day's work with cold Malt water will cleanse and toughen the skin, especially in young horses. !Particular attention should be paid to the teeth and feet of the horse. If necessary. have the teeth examined and "floated" to provide proper grind- ing surfaces. Trim the feet carefully. keeping the wearing surfaces level. For ‘cork on the land, shoeing is not ale a%s necessary. but where needed frequcney and correctness of shoeing is important. Lice, norms, anti bets take their tool of the horse', energy and should he eliminated early in the rautp;ti u.

Over the north-east of the hill I dropped to die White Water and across rough moor- land—back to my .Cottage in the !bush. A favourite walk in the island is the round of the two glens --(Glenn Rosa and Glen Sannox, With fresh sea -air and a north wind the shore way through Corrie and Sannox was an in- viting prelude. 'Leaves fell to the ground, but in the gardens, hyd- rangeas, fuschias, and roses were blooming—open to the sea. !Oyster- catchers swarmed amongst the rooks and at times a seal bobbed up. By field and covert a ;lane twisted amongst ripe brambles into a wild, bare glen. -Burns tumbled down brown hillsides, indifferent paths plunged: through a tantalizing 'tangle Of brake, heather, bog -myrtle, and 'boulders. A wood'coc'k flew up, at times startled plovers and a curlew, .Higher tip the glen wild deer by the score speckled the slopes and hollows. All was still and as the peaks closed in with a swish df rain there was a feeling of mountain solitude. Yet behind, the bay still showed with its white cot- tages and green plots, So it is extra- vagant to liken Glen Sannox to'Glen. Sligachan. as one writer does. But there is no disputing the grandeur of the glenhead; Cir Mhor, a towering pinnacle of granite slabs, the Saddle, Goat Fell, and the Castles. It was steep scrambling to the Sad - die into'Glen Rosa, ,but the course of the companion :Glen was not nearly so rough and tethered. Still, it was rough enough when dusk fell, leaving me to pick out the track in pants in- distinguishable from the burns, and boulder -choked. Goat 'Felt's screes were moon -shot, the peaks around glowering. dark, Puke velvet. Albdive the noise of the Rosa came the weird roaring of the stags. Contrast indeed to emerge from the wild, smell the pines in the sweet might air, and see lights over Brodick Bay, still as glass. On a rich morning I went 'through the Corriegills to Lamlash—an engag- ing way with the sea on one side and brown hills on the other.
