-Robert Louis Stevenson.
Making Others Happy.
A dozen pairs of little shoes and
slippers hung down almost to the floor
from that infant class bench, and a
dozen little maids kept them swinging
back and foith all through the lesson
hour. Ada Bryce was so busy gaz-
ing at her own pretty, shiny boots
that she did not notice a pair of very
worn shoes at the other end of the
row.
"Why, what a shabby pair of shoes
to wear to Sunday school!" she
thought to herself when she caught
sight of them; "and what a faded
dress that little girl has. I am glad
she is not sitting by me," and she
smoothed her own dainty frills with
a chubby hand.
The teacher was speaking again,
and her words set Ada thinking.
"Now, girls, you have answered well
to -day, and I want to know who said
promise to remember the lesson dur-
ing the week and try to make someone
happy whenever she can?"
Up went Ada's band with the rest,
and her eyes turned again to the lit-
tle stranger, whose hame, she had dis-
covered, was Janey Burns, 'I don't
believe she is very happy," she
thought; and before she knew it al-
most she had smiled at the little
stranger, whose big, wondering eyes
smiled back into her own.
As the infant class scholars trooped
out for the closing exercises a little
figure in a dainty dress slipped into
the seat beside aaney Burns and a
soft little voice whispered, "I guess
I'll sit by you. You can hold my muff
if you like. It's cosy to put your
hands in,"
As she and Lucy Miller trotted
home from Sunday school together
Ada whispered in Lucy's • ear, "It's
easy to make people happy; and isn't
it funny? It makes you feel as if
someone were making you happy,
too."
Economy is the word now. Even the
weather having a little bit of winter
left over, turned in and used it after
thefi rst of May.

Quest/min-la G. ;-'We have a fifteen
acreaere field of clover 'Bodsmauured
this Winter and spring, The soil is
a good sandy; loam. ,My two sons
wept to rata; a buiriper crop, Now
would you advlse to drill the fertilizer
in with .grain drill or corn planter?
We intend to check it. Als0,. how
much fertilizer should we use to the
acre'? The land is in good slatios.
Answer -In order to get a max-
imum yield of coin on your sandy
loans soil, I Would advise you to put
on 400 minds of fertilizer per side.
I would -broadcast 300 pounds at thie
by drilling it in wall a grain drill be-
fore the land is planted to corn. Seve
the other 100 pouods,per rasa through
the fertilizer attachment of the cora
Planter,. I would advise an analysis
of fertilizer running from 2 to 3%
ammonia and 8 to 10% phosphoric
acid; also 1% potash will help, if it is
obtainable. --
Question-C. 0.:-I have a piece
of rather light land that was in corn
last year, part of it had manure ap.
plied. If the balance of the field is
manure& then disked and harrowed
thoroughly, would it be all right to
sow clover on, providing it is well
limed? Haw much hydrated lime is'
needed per acre? Would it be advis-
able to sow buckwheat and clover?
When ought the seeding to be done?
Answer -If the land is well man-
ured and limed, then disked and har-
rowed thoroughly, it will make a good
seed -bed for clover. If adding hydrat-
ed lime, I would use from 1,000 to
1,500 pounds per acre, I do not be-
lieve that buckwheat would be a good
nurse crop for the clover, The buck-
wheat tends to grow very thick. It is
used to smother out such weeds as
quack grass. I would rather prefer
oats, spring wheat or barley. Per-
haps barley is the best nurse crop,
since it ripens early, is shallow rooted
and is removed more quickly from the
ground, so that the clover 1.as a bet-
ter chance to grow, The small grain
and clover should be sown as soon as
the ground can be prepared in the
spring. In order to help both the
small grain and the clover catch, since
your seeding must necessarily be late,
I would advise applying from 200 to
250 pounds of fertilizer carrying 2 to
8% ammonia and 8 to 10% phosphoric
acid. This will act like whole milk
to the young calf. It will give the
Want grain and clover plants easily

assist both crops.
Question -W. M. :-What is your

make the silage ,a better feed, and
Ivould you plant them the mono time
as the corn? I thought perhaps if the

Make more moisture- in the silage.
Please let me know what time to
paint 'for best desults. 'Aldo my
pasture rims short in latter part of
July or August, 3 have Iwo and
one-half acres that I would like to use
for' this purpose. Would cowpeas
and oats. be a good feed if cut green,
and what time is besteto sow them?
Answer -Id many sections good re-
sults are forthcoming from seeding
soy beans with, corn, Theoretically,
the mixture should greatly benefit the
balancing of the retion, since soy
beans are rich in protein and fat and
corn as Ara in carbo -hydrates. Many
fatmers get excellent results by hog-
ging down the corn and allowing the
pigs to harvest the soy beans. This
balances their ration; as indicated,
The beans may be planted at the
same time as the corn, if you cultivate
the corn only one way, but the com-
mon practice in the middle -western
states is to drill the seed in at the
last cultiv,ation, or to scatter it be-
tween the rows and work it in at the
time of the last cultivation. About
1% bushels of seed per acre is re-
quired. If planted ab described the
beans should he well set and fairly
well ripened by the time the corn is to
be cut for silage."
Regarding the short pasturage, I
am wondering if you are familiar with
the wear on pastures done by Prof.
Zavitz of Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege. He has obtained good results.
from the following mixture:
Oats .......... .. 51 lbs.
Early Amber Sugar cane30 tbs.
Common Red Clover 7 lbs.
Total 88 lts.
He advises sowing this early in
May. The oats and the Early Amber
sugar cane can be drilled through the
grain drill and, the clover seed can be
sown through"the clover seed attach-
ment of the drill. At Guelph they
found this mixture ready for cattle
pasture late in June. It carried more
than one steer to the acre. In 1911
it was successfully used for milk
cows.
If you wish to grow a crop to cut
green, I would advise you to mix peas
and oats, -a bushel of each. This
makes a good rich green hay and gives
satisfactory results. -Bow this just
as 'soon as you can prepare the ground.
• Milk records prove that the cow is
an individual and not merely a me-
chanical contrivance for producing
milk.
A SILO ON EVERY FARM
Pays For Itself in Two Winters With Twenty -Cow Dairy -How
to Get It -Where to Put It.
If there is anything a farmer is
justified in going into debt for it is a
silo. No implement will pay for it-
self so quickly as the silo. The. ques-
tion, Will it pay? is no longer debat-
able. With a dairy of twenty cows
it will pay for itself in two winters'
feeding. The only questions nowa-
days are, How can I get one? What
kind shall I get? Where shall I put
it, and how shall I pay for it? e.
Wideawake fruit farmers have
found that dairying filled a unique and
profitable place in their farming sys-
tem. And modern dairying is not
profitably possible without a silo.
An acre of corn made into good
silage has about forty per cent. great-
er feeding value than when feel as
crib corn and dry fodder.
Cows need succulent feed during
the winter months and silage fuvnishes
it in convenient, economical fOl•Ira
Steers and lambs make faster and
cheaper gains when silage is part of
the ration.
There is a further urgent ]0000n
for erecting a silo this season -the
prices of all feeds are unusually high
and the saving with silage is con-
sequently greater than ever before.
The first silos built were of the
pit typo, dug in the ground. at was
aeon found, that the ensilage in these
pit silos rapidly became moldy and
unsuitable for feed. The silos first
constructed above ground were of
wood, being square in shape or eight
sided; but they wove not a success on
=cunt of the eir pockets in the corn-
ers, which caused the sane to spoil.
It was not until the round stave silos,
with hoop thad cold be tighlouod or
loosened as the silo swelled or shrunk,
were pat oh the market, that silos be-
came a practical success,
The expense of weed silos depends
on the sort of wood used.

There are five kinds of silos on the
market, those made of wood, solid 00-
rtlent, cement blocks, hollow tile and
iron.
The wood silo was the first com-
mercially introduced and has been
greatly improved. In selecting
a woad silo, the writer would go to the
expense 'of having the staves made in
one piece. This costs a little more.
Cement silos, dad silos made of hol-
low cement blocks have been usedaliut

Every silo, however, 710 matter of what
material it is constructed, should have
a solid foundation of masonry or ce-

The shade problem is one -that must
be solved in the near future. The
clays will soon be here when the mid-
day sun can do a lot of damage to
stock exposed to it. Even in June
there are days when a little shade is
needed. This is probably more the
case with chicks than it is with grown
fowls; but, nevertheless, they all need
it. Trees furnish the most cooling
shade. Where trees are not available
canopies should be erected, made by
driving stakes in the ground and cov-
ering the top with burlap.
The chicks need plenty of nourish-
ing food, but care must be taken that
they are not overfed. If overfed they
will lose their appetites and becomes
sthnted.
The hens out on range must be look-
ed after. They are apt to hide their
nests in some out-of-the-way place,
and in consequence many eggs are lost
or never found until they have lost
their value. Beware of the hidden

valuable food. It is especially good
for children who need a great deal of
sugar, because of the fact that the
skin surface, that is, the radiating sur-
face of the child's body, is much larger
in proportion than that of the adult.
This means that children's bodies lose
heat rapidly, and therefore they need
a great deal of sugar which produces
heat and energy. Honey supplies
sugar in its most digestible form, and
enters into the circulation at once.
Honey also contains minerals neces-
sary for the human body, one of these
being iron.
"Lucy"r--1. Spread a thin film of
butter over cheese that is to be put
away and it will not dry or crack, 2.
Lengthen the stitch on your sewing -
machine to its fullest extent, and
stitch the part to be shirred. Adjust
your gathers by pulling the lower
thread, and your gathers will be per-
fectly even. 3. For moths around
excellent exterminator, Dampen the
edge of the carpet and iron with the
hot iron; If -of velvet or Brussels,
hold the iron close to the carpet, but
do not press it down. The hot steam
will kill all moths, and without the
least injury to the carpet. 4. When
sealing jelly, melt paraffin in an old
teapot or tea steeper. It is the most
satisfactory way of pouring the wax
over the jelly when sealing it. No
drops will be spilled upon the table.
"Mary": -To remove stains caused
by handling fresh fruit, before wash-
ing rub the hands with half a lemon.
Or take a stalk of rhubarb, peel and
bruise and rub the hands with it.
