WHEAT AND NEXT YEA TS FOOD Careful Directions For the Culture of Winter Wheat -A Very Necessary Crop in View ofthe Present Food Shortage. By Henry G. Bell, Agronomist.

The time for reseeding winter wheat is but three months distant. Every thing possible should be done to in- sure a good successful seeding next autumn. High Points of Wheat Culture.'` Wheat thrives best when fed "to the limit"., The plantfood of good sub- stantia'! soil should be supplemented. Well rotted manure worked into the seed bed supplies considerable food. Big results are being obtained by chill- ing in 200 to 300 pounds per acre of fertilizer, at the time the wheat isf seeded. For an average wheat soil this plantfood should carry from 2 to 3% ammonia, 'about 8% available phosphoric acid and 1 to 2% potash. bed follow the frisking with a rolling and then with a light harrowing. If youhave not a sufficient Supply of seed write your experiment station at the earliest opportunity and inquire where yeti can locate the seed you wish. Do not leave this until late in the season, but :et your inquiry.- be in the hands of the experiment station by the time the crop is harvested. It may be necessary to delay wheat seeding a week or ten days to escape the attack of the first brood of ,the Hessian Fly. If so, be sure to use at least the maximum amount of .fertiliz- er advised in order to give the young wheat the additional vigor that will enable it to recover from the effects of late planting. In order to combat wheat smut, spread the seed on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it The ammonia gives the young plants with a solution of one pound of a quick start.

An officer in the Canadian forces, Maj. Edgar, now serving in Flandera, tells the following affecting story of a dog's love and fidelity. The dog was an Irish terrier, wiles° home with a French family was destroyed when the German came. IIe fled from the ruined house and the dead bodies of the people he had loved, and sought refuge with one of the British regi- nionts. Here ono of the kindly Tom- mies adopted him and named him Army. The kindly Tohnmy was killed subsequently, and the clog stationed himself, a lonely watcher, at his grave. Other soldiers • who came tbct'e :found and eared for him; incl when they were killed or had retired, still others became his gnarclians, He lov- ed them all, but iie never forgot his first soldier friend and nhaste }•, or Coiled to watch by his grave, 1-te re- inail1ed on guard all through the win- ter, and 'one, morning he wets formol frozen to death there. After- Army httd died, the :esthete ties gave permission for him to be buried beside the master to whom he had been so faithful, and there in Flanders is the big grave with the lit- tle one beside it; and the dog's name as well as that of his master is in- scribed upon the cross that marks their last earthly resting place, Thousands of persons every year are crippled or killed because they l fail to place a value upon their own safety. , r' • Market Calendar. The culling of non -layers from the flock should be continued throughout July. The season of high production is over and at the high price of feed, it does not pay to keep hens as board- ers throughout the summer. Sell in July old hens, broilers, green ducks and old ducks. Heat is the great enemy' of eggs, both fertile and infertile. Follow these simple rules, which cost nothing but time and thought, and you will add dollars to the poultry yard re- turns: Keep the nests' Olean; provide one -ye nest for every four hens. :Gather the eggs twice daily. Keep the eggs in a c; ,d, dry room or cellar. Market the eggs at least twice a week. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching is over. With poultry costs so high, why not ]seep an accurate account of the re- ceipts and expenditures? A 'simple way to keep track of the grain used is to build a supply bin in the poultry house. The grain can be easily weighed and the amount recorded each time the bin is filled. A tabulated sheet tacked upon the side of the bin may also be used for recording the egg yield and receipts. The poultry house should be placed away from other farm buildings where the drainage is good. Dampness is very dangerous and the floor of the poultry house must be higher than the outside soil. A house should never be less than fourteen feet deep and four square feet of floor space should be allowed to each bird. When a cement floor is used in the house it should be made in creases to prevent the hens from slipping. Don't build the houses too high or it will be difficult to keep the birds warm. By using one-fourth inch mesh wire on the windows the v.•ire will break the wind and keep out sparrows. A smail"boy was stung b, a nettle.
