The firemen were soon on the scone agitin, however,. and the blaze was quickly extin- guished. The less was dully covered by insurance, Hiss Freda \'anStone Telt last week" for a visit with her sister, Potato Production The average yield of potatoes .per acre in Ontario in 1016 was 53 bushels, The next lowest yield in the last thirty-five years eas X76 and the average annual yield for the whole period, 114 bushels per acre. Considering both yields and prices of seventeen different farm crops, those which gave the greatest returns l.er acre in Ontario hi 1910 were gs fol- lows : Potatoes, $78 ; turnips and other field roots, $76 ; beans, $63 ; husking corn, $89, and fall wheat, M. It- will be seen that the hi3hest returns were obtivined from the cul- tivated crops. According to present prices, the food value of rice pur- chased for one dollar is equal to that of potatoes costing two dol- lars. Rice can be used as a ve;et- able to take the place of potatoes. Seed potatoes are exeeedinglp scarce and people throughout the province are eating potatoes which should be retained for planting. Those farmers are wise who retained their potato crop forseed purposes even' though they, were critized for not bringing them to market. T would suggest that those having seed pota- toes for sale, beyond local require- ments, advertise in looal, agricultur- al or daily. papers, In normal years, it is economy to cut good sized potatoes in sets varying from oire ounce to two ounces each. In the average of ten tests conducted at Guelph in five years the following average annual yields per acre were obtained from good sized potatoes out into pieces of different weights as heree indicated : Two ounces, 150 bushels; one ounce, 130 bushels,; one-half 00000, 100 bushels ; one- quarter ounce, 98 bushels ; one-eighth ounce, •79 bushels, and one -sixteenth ounce, 37 bushels. Small potatoes are frequently produced from s_rebs or from diseased tubers. The pots-._ toes produced in Ontario in 1616, however, were exceptionally free from rot and were unusually small owing to the growth being arrested by unfavourable weather . conditions. Potatoes did not thoroughly mature last, autumn and immature potatoes acre inferior for table use but make excellent seed. At this particular time, therefore, potatoes, the size of hens' eggs or even smaller, might be used ,for seed to good advantage. These could be cut into pieces even as mill as one-quarter ounce each and could he planted in rows tuveu- ty-eight inches apart with the ,pieces twelve to fifteen tuehrs Newt in the rows, They should be planted the same day that they are cut. Where good seed is unobtainable whole potatoes not more than one-quarter to one -Half ounce In size rnigilt be planted with the prospect Of. receiv- ing moderate returns. It would be an advantage to spread opt the small potatoes in a warn' light tooni for two ea three weeks to al- low then' to sprout before planting. The usual time for planting patatOeS for best results is from the 1511 to the 25t1i. of 'May. Potatoes do well on sod land. If it is Impossible :.to get the land ready before the 1free. mentioned, the sod might be plowed to a depth of about four incises and the. potatoes planted in every third furrow ; after which the land could bo rolled inunediately and then har- rowed to press the soil arotmd the potatoes and to conserve moisture. According to present indiclitious, the aoreage of potatoes will ,he less tihan usual this year, Wi tlr the possibility of a fainirro in food materials.greet care should leo exercised by both the farmers and the City .gardeners 'in growing the crops Of Higbee, value, in using the best seed Ob- tainable and in 'eeenoiliiying labour. 0. 1.

CABBAGE AND OTHER THINGS Good food Products Can Be Secured by the Amateur by a Little ,Labor glad a Small Expenditure, (133' 8, C. JONNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto,) Besides growing many vegetables for immediate use the backyard garden should produce some veget- ables whieh can hestored for con- sumption during winter months, Some,.. of course, do not need to be planted as early as the plants wleieh were described last week. . Possibly a week should elapse from the time the lettuce Is planted before these should be sown. BEwrs; CARROTS, PARSNIPS, AND SALSIFY.. These include the most important members of the root vegetables. They are usually grown tor winteroses ur though D p g beets and carrots are many by relished y in a a Y their earlier stages of growth. All these demand practically the sant° attention, The seeds should be sown in straight rows at a depth of about. three-quarters of an inch. When the plants have reached a height of two taches they should be carefully thin- ned out so that they stand, beets and parsnips three to four inches apart, carrots and salsify two or three inches apart. It will be found that the parsnips are very slow grow- ers, and for this reason it is some- times advisable to plant a few seeds of lettuce with the parsnip seeds so that they will serve as a marker. The young beet plants may be used as spring greens. It is necessary that the soil be cultivated " at intervals during the summer months so that the crops may grow. They do not as a general rule require as heavy wa- tering as same of the other vegetable crops. In the fall_ the beets should be pulled up and the tops twisted off Mose to the head, not out off with a knife as in the ease of carrots, pars- nips, or salsify, -which should have the tops cut about one-half inch from the roots preparatory to storing for winter use... C01EN. In planting corn holes about two or three ,inches deep should be made with ,a hoe. Five or six kernels of corn should be drop- ped in this and covered with soil, which should be gently armed by tramping on it. When the shoots are about three inches high all ex- cepting the three sturdiest sbould be pulled out. The soil should be drawn up around the stalks as they grow, to give them support. When the kernels on the cob appear full of milk they are ready to use. It is also a good practice to cultivate the soil often around the corn, for ex- pert growers claim that the crops corn and cabbage faster and better when plenty of cultivation is given. CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the most widely grown vegetables. -The cabbage plant requires a' supply of moisture, and yet if the cab- bage soil is too wet the plant will be injured. Cabbage does particu- larly well on new land, and some growers claim that the cabbage grows without an abundant supply of manure in the soil better than many other vegetables. It is considered a good practice for backyard garden- ers to purchase plants which have been grown in hot -beds or hot -houses and transplant them directly into the permanent bed. This saves consid- erable trouble. It is necessary when setting cabbage plants to set them fairly deep so that they will not be whipped about by the wind. They may .be set eighteen inches 0apart, and there should be quite a good, deal of soil around the roots. When they are ready to be set out a hole may be made with a dubber or a sharpen- ed stick. The roots may be watered after they have been set. One of the most important features of growing cabbage consists in the attention given to cultivation of the soil. There may be some occasions when the head will split, this may be stopped or prevented if the head is taken in the hands and turned forcibly' from one side to another. CAULIFLOWER. The cauliflower is treated in much the same way as cabbage, the plants being grown and set out in the same manner outside. They are treated practically the same as cabbage until it is noticed that a little white Sower has commenced to grow. The dry leaves of the plant should be brought together at the top and tied with a piece of string so that these little white Sowers are pro- tected from the rays of the sun and the rain. All cauliflower heads should be treated in this manner when they are about two inches in diameter. BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Brussels sprouts are perhaps the most hardy of the cabbage family. If it is im- possible to secure brussels sprouts plaits a few seeds may be planted about lday 16 at a depth of about ono inch. These should be transplanted to the permanent bed about the 15th of June. They should beset eighteen inches in the row aid two feet be- tween the rows. It iswell to keep the patch clean, and the surface soil should be stirred frequently. It is unneoossary'to trim off the leaves as the plants grow .n the garden. SWISS CHARD. Syrtiss chard can be 'grown easily from seed, in rows twelve incluse apart, the young plants being thinned to six or eight inches apart, The advantage of this plant is that the leaves may. be pulled off close to the root and new leaves Shoot up, wblch may be consumed during the season. The roots are used for greens and the stem of the leaf as asparagus.- A few plants should be sufficient for a small lam- Ike..

These birds were fed for a •'period of four- teen clays and made an average gain of two pounds per bird. The meal mixture used was sixty per cent wheat middlings and forty per cent. coru.moal. '1,0 this meal mixture was added three ounces ,of salt for each 100 • pounds used. The birds were starved for twenty-four hours and given a mild dose of Epson salts beforefeeding commenced. They were fed sparingly the fir st day and the quantity of meal for each feed was mixed with soup Skim milk to the consistency of porridge, Three feeds were given each day at intervals of six 'hours.
