The °elect of this department is to place at the
Cervico of our farm readers the advice, of an acknowl•
*deed euthority on all subiects pertaining to soils and
*rope,
Address all queetiona to Professor Henry G. Bell,10
care of The Wllpon' Publishing. Company, Limited,' o-
ronto, and answers will appear In this column In the.
order In whlch they. are
Immediareceivedte r, . Asla spac6ece laeeaarlimited
It Is. adWsal,le where eply y that
s stamped anal addressed envelope be enolosod with the
Yuestion, wham the answer will be mailed direct.
Question -=G -11,; -if I plow in a full
crop of clover, would I have to do this
ixt'the summer to get the full benefit, of
it, or would it he as•, good if I letit
grow on till the fall? Or, on the
other hand, would it be as, good if I
took a crop and plowed in the after-
math? I have no stock except fowls
and two horses, therefore little stable
manure, However, I intend' to use
a lot of- phosphate.
Answer; --At the, present price of
food and its universal scarcity in most
sections, I.would advise G. II. to feed
the firstcrop. of: clover and plow in the
aftermath. 'If he does not have en-
ough stock to consume tliJ clover it
will pay him to make the hay and sell
it, and to buy feed and plantfood in
the form of fertilizers. Since he has.
little manure 'I would advise him to
use a fertilizer containing. 2 to 4%
ammonia, 8 to12%phosphoric acid,and
if he intends to plant potatoes, truck
or root crops, from 1 to 8% potash.
This will supplement the plantfood in
the soil and that turned under in his
clover, It is Very questionable, and
especially at the present price of
practically all farm feed and produce,
if anyone can plow under a full crop of
clover or any other cover crop, for that
matter. Apply the fertilizer at the
rate of 200 to 400 lbs. per acre.
Question -H. B.: -What distance
apart should the rows of Indian corn
be planted and what distance in the
rows? 'How many kernels should be
put in a hill? I wish to get as much
ripened corn as possible.
Answer: -The farther south we go
the farther apart the rows of corn
and the greater the distance between
the,hill , .Fox, instance, in the South-
ern part of the United States the
rows are frequexitly five feet, apart
and fourfeet between the hills. A5
we Como North this is reduced to at
least 36 inches and: some 'men even
plait ;clos•er, . ,•
•
The number of, kernels to the hill
and the distance apiirt depends very
largely on the type.ef cern and the
fertility .of the soil; ordinarily the
richer the soil the closer the corn can
be planted.
H. B. says he wishes to get as much
ripened corn as. possible. If he does
not care for the' size of ears he can
plant much 'closer than if it is'lerge
ears that he desires. The Nebraska
Experiment Station, U. S. A., found
that 8, 4 or 6 stalks, to a hill gave
practically the same yield but the
weight of ears was less with four
than with three and still less with five
than with four. One ;dant to the hill
gave but two-thirds as mach corn as
did three plants. Two plants gave
10 bushels less to the acre them did
3, 4 or 5. The corn was planted in
hills three feet: eight ipches apart each
'.vay.
I would recommend that H. B. plant
his corn 36 inches apart each way, un-
less the soil is extremely fertile when
he mightplant a little closer, and
Plant three to four kernels to the hill,
If he wishes to drill it, the stalks
should be ten to twelve inches apart in
the row, unless the soil is exceptional-
ly fertile, when this distance may be
reduced to 8 to 10 inches.

A. M, S.:-1. In the vacant spots in
your flower border plant perennial
phlox in white, pink and yellow. They
like the sun. It is always wisest to
buy 'large plants. 2. Spraying is the
best way to water plants. This not
only keeps them clean, but, as you
know, plants absorb moisture through
the pores of their leaves, and they are
therefore much benefitted by spraying.
8. Dahlia roots should notelee put into
the ground'until the weather is settled
and the ground warm. They are very
liable to rot in wet and cold ground. 4.
Did you ever try canvas for the large
bed irethe centre of your lawn? Can-
nes being Large plants need space to
show up to the best advantage, and
require very rich loamy soil and heat.
The flowers are very showy, but are
not suitable for cutting as they are so
tender and easily bruised. If the bed
is eight or ten feet in diameter, place
a ricinus (castor oil plant) in the
centre, surround with two circles of
cannas, say, the inner circle King
Humbert, outer Alphonse Bouvier; and
eraniums for the baso or • outside
circle, As the canna is a tender
plant it cannot be transferred to the
permanent bed before June 1st. It
flowers during July, August and Sep-
tember. Be careful to cut out all
driest blooms and seed pods. It en-
courages freer blooming.
I{. McL.:-1. Here is a remedy for

The amount of water required by the

much upon the temperature of the air

and the amount of work done. Part
of this water is derived from the food.
4. A good. ointment for dry skin is
made of lanolin, two ounces; boro-
glyceride, one ounce; cold cream, six
ounces, 6. Whether one, should drink
hot or cold water before breakfast de-
pends upon whether the gastric juice
is too acid or not sufficiently acid. If
one's stomach does not make enough
hydrochloric acid, she should drink a
little cold water half an hour before
meals, because this will stimulate the
gastric glands. If one has too much
acid she• should take a glassful of hot
water half an hour before eating.
H. M.: -If your little girl's school
reports are.not so good as you would
like, the reason may lie in her physical
condition. It is not at all likely that
she is wilfully lazy and inattentive.
Tho first step would be to have the
family physician rx.ake an examination
for eye defects, adenoid growths, den-
tal diseases, and things of that kind.
If she is free from these, it will be
necessary to look elsewhere for the
cause of her failure to do well at her
studies. In the first place, is she pro-
perly nourished? Does she take just
the right quantity of food at meals and
of the kind suited to her age? She
should not be permitted to nibble be-
tween meals. or to have too much
candy. Too much food causes poison-
ing of the brain, while too little or of
unsuitable variety causes the brain to
function freely owing to lack of
nourishment.... In the second place.
are yaw allowing her to have too much'
"fun" out of school? If die remain:.
up late at night, and does not get suf-
ficient sleep in a well -ventilated room,
she will be unlit for school work be-
cause of physical"exhaustion. As
to automobile rides, it is true that they
furnish plenty of fresh air which is
good, of course, but long and frequent
rides keep the child in a ,state of
nervous tension and excitement, which
is the reverse of good. In short, the
manner in which you are bringing up
the child must be scrutinized to dis-
cover the cause of her backwardness
at school.

Thal% some source .of sediment -.in
nmillc does obtain even under the most
rigid conditions possible in a cow.
stable is eyident froth an maul:dila'tion
of 'any sediment disk through which
the average. milk has been passed,
and there is no doubt that thorough
straining will add to the cleanliness
of the product even after all possible
precautions have been taken, The
presence .of slime in the separator
bowl after skimming is another sign
that some dirt has found its way into
the milk . between the time of its se-
cretion and its arrival in the machine,
provided the receiving or supply can
has been clean up to the time when
separating started.
--The separator no doubt removes a
great deal of the foreign matter that
occurs, but is incapable of throwing
out much of the undesirable bacteria
that accompanies the dirt which en-
ters the milk at milking time, so the
/importance of cleanliness in caring
forethe cow and for the milking uten-
sils hi very great indeed.
The assurance that milk delivered
at the dairy, where pasturization takes
place, is free, or reasonably free, of
sediment, should be worthy of con-
sideration by the wholesale purchaser
who, in his turn, should reap a bene-
fit from the ultimate consumer to
whom he can guarantee this milk as
hiving been clean, and thus safe from
the time it leaves the cow's udder un-
til it arrives at the consumer's resid-
ence.
The farmer's part of the undertak-
ing to supply ,pure, wholesome milk'
must start with the taking of pre-
cautions previous, even to the secre-
tion, of the milk. He should satisfy
himself fully that his cows are entire-
ly healthly; and in order that the
small amount of dust that will in-
evitably get into the milk pail may
be as harmless as possible, he must
provide for a plentiful supply of sun-
lieeet in his stables. Then if the
cattle are always kept as clean (or a
little cleaner) all the year round, as
they would keep themselves : on a
good, well=drained pasture field, and
the milkers obliged to wear well -
washed clothes, and take 'a bath fre-
quer.tly, the chances of the milk being
satisfactory are pretty good. Of
course,.aer'ation of the milk and thor-
ough cooling must also be attended to.
Po. _hi)
Sell off all hens in their third year,
as 'soon as the rush of laying is over.
The last call for hatching is now
on. Chicks hatched after the first
week in May cannot be expected to
prove good winter layers.,
Brood chicks that are closely house -
ed and fed too heavily are very likely
to develop weight too fast in propor-
tion to their strength.
• It will cost the :farmer no more
money to raise pure-bred poultry than
it will to grow stubs.
Turkeys do best when kept separ-
ate from chicicens. If the two are
kept together the turkeys are likely
to take chicken diseases..
Dampness, lice' and filth are deadly
foes to poultry of any kind.
Since hens on range produce more
eggs at lower cost e,nd, fewer young
hens die than do those kept in con-
finement, poultrymen are urged to pro-
vide outside yards with plenty of
green feed for laying hens, Hens on
range produce 15 to 44 per cent. more
eggs at a feed cost of 15 to 86 per
cent. less per dozen' than hens•kept in
confinement.
In Spring fowls require more care -
'al attention than at any time in the
car. All the accumulated debris of
vinter lies on the surface. Then
comes a warm spell, and the surface
f the ground gets muddy, while the
filth of winter sticks to everything
that touches it. This is the time to
keep the hens dry and to give them
straw to stand on and to work in dur-
ing the day.

econonly was pr:tftised by substitut-
ing bay for part of the corn and tanlc-
age or other millfoed which it was

It is essential that the brood saw be
fed a well balanced, succulent, nutri-
tious, milk -producing ration while
suckling the litter. Daily by-pro-
ducts, s>ich as skim -0111k, buttermilk
or whey together with meals such as
shorts, ground oats, 'barley, oil cairn
and the like, are , all highly suitable
for the feeding of the sow at this sea-
son.'. These are also splendid feeds
for the litter at weaning time, If
dairy by-products are not available,
digester tankage may to some extent
supplement these feeds.
Kitchen slops, groundbarley and
shorts formed the greater partof the
ration of a pig which took first prize
at a recent show. The pig had the
run of an alfalfa pasture, with a
stream at the foot of the "hill in the.
same lot.

On the road to Ypres the trees had
stood, an unbroken old guard lining
the road, with hardly a gap in their
ranks. But here! With every limb
shot to bits, beheaded, halved, cut
off at the shins, torn out of the
earth and flung prostrate, these
woods seemed to scud with bare
poles or broken jurymasts before the
wind as our car passed, all their rig-
ging blown and shot away. At' to the
ground, you cannot find enough flat
earth in a square mile to play marbles

He Helped.
On the new br'akeman's first run
there was a very steep grade. The
engineer always . had more or less
trouble to get up this grade, but this
time he came near sticking altogether.
Eventually, however, he reached the
top.
Looking ojij of cab, the engineer
saw the new brakeman and said, with
a sigh of relief:
"We had a hard job getting up,
didn't we?"
"We sure did," assented the new
brakeman, "and if I hadn't put on the
brake we'd have slipped back."

There are two forms of strangles or
distemper, viz., regular and irregular
strangles . The symptoms of regular
form are: cough, unthriftlness, fever,
difficulty in swallowing, nasal dis-
charge, swellings between jaws or
about throat, which form into absces-
ses. In irregular feria the same
symptoms occur, with less difficult
breathing, and the abscesses may
form any place, externally or intern-
ally.
Attend to comfort,apply poultices of
antiphlogistine to throat, lance ab-
scesses as soon as ready, give 2 or 3
drams Ityposulphitc of soda out of a
spoon 3 times daily, do not drench.
If breathing becomes 'very difficult
send for veterinarian.
Go easy with the horses at the start
and see that collars fit,
Mares in foal should be given regu-
lar work but not overwork.
Farm horses usually could haul
larger loads on the country roads if
waggon tires were wider, and lees
damage is done to roads by wide tires.
Different horses require different
kinds of foods, the same as different
people; study each horse and see what
kinds of food he does best on.
It is a lot better and cheaper to feed
and care for stock so that they will be
in good health, than to pay - doctor to
get them back to the standard, after
they once get down.

SWEET CHERRIES: SOILS AND VARIETIES
G. A. Robertson, St. Catharines.
Sweet cherries are yearly increasing
in popular favor; and this popular
feline will increase or diminish only as
the product put on the market is good;
thereby increasing the demand; or
poor, thereby decreasing the consump-
tion. Not many years ago the sweet
and so-called sour varieties were mar-
keted at practically the same price per
basket; the sweets are much more dif-
ficult to produce and to market than the
common or -sour varieties; and an im-
petus was given to planting the sour
cherry at the expense of the sweot;
since then the sour cherries have de-
creased steadily in price and the sweet
have increased until now a sweet
cherry orchard i:1 full bearing is a de-
cided asset to any farm.
Location: Sweet cherries should be
planted on a deep, dry, well drained
soil. No other tree fruit will re-
spond any better to good treatment,
but planting on an unsuitable soil is
disastrous, and a wet subsoil will
prove fatal. Therefore, when choos-
ing a location, a high, dry, sandy, or
gravelly knoll is best, and a proper
system of underdrainage will prove
beneficial. Close proximity to a town
where a requisite number of good pick-
ers may he hacl, and frequent and
rapid shipping facilities is desirable.
Sweet cherries bloom very early,
varying in the last few years from say
as early as the 23ed of April, and
sometimes as late as the 10th of May.
Most of our popular val ieties bloom
heavily and set freely; when in full
bloom a few hours of hot sunshine as-
sisted by the presence of myriads of
bees will set a fair crop. This may
be followed by a week or ten days of
cold wet weather, with perhaps a few
degrees of frost, but if properly set
the calyx of the blossom forms a lit-
tle blanket to protect the tender fruit,
and this drops only as the cherry
swells or as the stem of the improper-
ly fertilized fruit shrivels and drops;
hence planting an orchard near a body
of water which will modify the tem-
perature, will often insure a crop
when a few miles inland the few de-
grees difference in temperature may
shorten it materially, if not destroy-
ing it entirely for the season,
Varieties: In choosing the varieties
from a commercial standpoint, annual
bearing is, the most desirable, and
coupled with this a fruit that is geQd
size, color and flavor and also good in
shipping quality. The tree should be
a rapid grower, strong and hardy. The
varieties that so far I have tried that
conform to this standard named in the
order of ripening are: Black Tartarian,
Napoleon Bigarreau (white), Elkhorn
and Windsor. I have also fruited
Lambert which ripens after the Wind-
sor, and is promising, being of good
size and flavor, and I may also add
Sing, both of these being grown in the
west, the latter ripening about the
same time as Elkhorn, and is an excel-
lently flavored cheery.
