Summer Pasture ,/, R,—My pastures played out just when milk was oiling best last aummer, Can you suggest any way of keeping up summer pasture? Answer would advise your try., ing the O.A.C. temporary pasture mix- ture. It he:— afOats ibs. Early Amber SUgar Cane 80 lbs. Common Red Claver 7 lbs. 98 lbs. per Acre. Prof. Zavitz says to soarethis early in May. Tho oath and Early Amber Sugar Cane seed can be chilled in through the regular grain drill and the clover seed through the grass and clover seed division of the drill. At Guelph they found this peewee ready for cattle pasturage late in June. Thiii pasture carried more thntt one steer to acre, and in 1911 was, successfully used for milk eowe. Potato Yields Low on Account of Blight G. B.—My potatoes were a failure last year. So were those of my neighbors, to a large extent. They were planted about the middle of May and seemed to come along well till early July when they seemed to die down. Some bent up single stalks which were short and weak. I scarce- ly got back seed. What was the mat- ter, and how can I get better aims next year? Answer:—Without seeing the field or sample of the crop, it is impossible to say with exactness, what the trou- ble WAS. Froin your description I am assuming that it was the deadly Late Blight disense of potatoes, This disease sometimes 'sweeps clown upon what looks to be a healthy field and destroy e great meas in a short time. Moist weather is -best for the spread of Late Blight. It is usually indicat- ed by the development of, indistinct, dark, watery ;mots on the ceaves. As the disease develops the !core turn a sickly brown color and the disease may extend to the branches of the plant. The rotting potato tops give off a•charseteristie disagreeable odor, Late Blight is a fungus disease which winters in the stored. potatoes. It sends its threads up through the in- side of the potato plant and blossoms on the surface of the potato leaves, giving off millionof spores or seeds. These are easily blown about by the wield add in damp weather they- stick to moist potato vines and :eaves and attack new plants. The cure or preventive Is to spray the potato crop with Bordeaux mixture or some commercial fungicide just as 50011 as the first leaves are well spread out and continue spraying till the crop begins, to ripen, giving in all 5 to 7 sprayings:" Bordeaux mixture is made of 5 lbs. of copper sulphate, 5 lbs. of quick -Mine and 60 gallons of water. The 5 lbs. of copper sulphate should be dissolved i E gallons of water and the 5 ibe. of lime should bo dissolved in another 6efear..ons. of water, theirthe two should be lumped into a clean water -tight barrel and 40 gallons of water should be added. -- The solution of sulphate of copper end lime is deadly to the scores or seeds of the Late Blight disease. If there is a small infection any- where near your farm, it will spread very quickly during damp, warm weather. Late Bile:: stops growth and causes dry rot in the stock that is dug. The biggest and best potato. growers on this continent always spray their potatoes to control this disease. His Accident Policy.

A despateh from Berne, Switzerland, Says; Persona arriving from Germany continue to give accounts of the in,. owing internal difficulties and dise may created by the preseat crisis. At the seine time the people are all taught to believe that it is only flee eessery to hold out three or four months before Greet Britain is tee dated to starvation. This appears to lj be the Onivexced artiele ef faith, Via • only possibility of saving England they profess to believe is the imniee diate declaration of Wen by the United Statert, Ana tho loading a grain ships, using the whole American fleet to eon, voy them across the Atlantic. They woken that internal discusaions will yetard American intervention until too late, BRIflSJI DESTROYER HITS MINE AND SINKS IN ENGLISH CHANNEL All of the Officers and All of the Crew Except rive Went Down With the Vessel. A despatch from London says: A British torpedo-boat destroyer of an older type, the British Admiralty an- nouneedeon Friday night, strucle, a mine in the English Channel Thurs- day night and sank. All the officers and all of the crew, except live, were lost. The official statement follows: "A torpedo-boat destroyer of an older type, employed in patrol duty in the English Channel, struck a mine on Friday night and sank: All the of- ficers were lost. There were five sur- vivors among the crew." ar.rA* Cold floors can not be coverfaa deap enough with straw to make the hog comfortable. Ho is a great rooter and will get clear down to the bottom of his straw bed. So cement or stone floors aro not so good as plank. Old-fashioned hog -pens had alto,. getbar too much light on one side, be- ing all open to the weather. Then they went to the other extreme and were shut up, close and dark. Win- dows are just as good for the hog's health and comfort as they are for yours and mine. -Money spent for window -glass for hog houses is money well invested. Just watch the -pork- ers as they he where the sunshine comes in good and warm. Then is when they are putting on fat. Salt and sulphur and charcoal should be kept in every pig -pen and pig yard so the pigs can hplp themselves. This is a corrective and a preventive of worms. . Do not confine the brood sows in a small dark pen. Give them plenty of room, and a yard to go out to every fine day. Brood sows must have ex- ercise to insure strong healthy litters of pigs. Whatever makes the feed taste bet- ' ter increases its value as growth ra- tion for pigs. Mrs, G. II. :—May I ask three queS- tons ? 1. How can I open a fruit sealer that refuses to tinsel:eat? What will prevent mustard from dry- ing up? 3, Is it possible to make a fireless cooker at home? 1. get the jar upside down in suf- ficient hot water to cover the metal rim and in a minute or two it will un- screw with ease 2. Mix with Vine- gar, add a little salt, and it will keep fresh for several days. 3. Take a packing -box with well -fitted cover on hinges. Pill ' box with hay well packed down, leaving hole in the centre for saucepan, fill a sack with hay and place an top of saucepan, and close lid. A granite pail with a close -fit- ting lid and a handle is the best cooking pave is not to hoard, which is ne of 1.

BRITISH ACTIVE AROUND YPRES-- Dugouts Were Destroyed and Prisoners Taken in Successful Raids. A despatch. from London says General Haig's troops, continuing their policy of giving the enemy no rest, have carried out a number of successful raids east of Vermeddes and south-east of Ypres. Numerous dug- outs were destroyed and about fifty pia:tonere taken, two of them officers. Friday's report from headquarters reads: "We carried out successful raids this morning and last night east of Vermelles and south-east of Ypres. A large number of the enemy's dugouts were destroyed and several prisoners were taken. A hostile attempt to ap- proach our lines south of Armentiere's during the night, after a heavy pre- liminary bombardment of our trenches, was caught by our barrage in `No Mama} Land' and easily repuls- ed. Thirty-seven prisoners, include ing two officers, were taken by us in the last 24 hours at different points along the front. "Our artillery performed much suc- cessful counter -battery work , and caused two explosions in the enemy's., lines.
