COUNTER �>'111:LNit and. ISSUER of HA.BUTAGL Lie EN SES. v/` Q Conducted by Professor Henry G. lien. The object of this department Is' to place at the service of our farm readers the advice of an acitnowl- edged authority on all subjects pertaining to soils and crops. Address all questions to Professor Henry 6. Bell, In care of The Wilson Publishing Company, Limited, To. ronto, and answers will appear In this ,column In the order In Which they are received. As space Is limited It is advisable where immediate reply to neceseary that a stamped and addressed envelope be enclosed with the question, when the answer Witt be mailed direct. Question -C. 11,: -What ie your opinion regarding summer -fallowing? On wit hint does success depend? Answer: -Summer -fallowing is an efficient practice of getting rid of troublesome weeds, if the soil is tilled sufficiently often co as to slit off the youngeweeds as they sprout. It also stores up moisture to a consid- erable extent. and if'the soil is fairly full of organ matter, it conserves plantfaod for succeeding crops, Success of summer -fallowing de- pends upon working the surface of the ground sufficiently often to prevent the escape of moisture and to prevent the growth of weeds which a chaustt the moisture and plantfood of the soil. The groundshould be plowed early in spring, disked and harrowed imme- diately after plowing, and harrowed and disked sufficiently often to keep the surface clean and opep. .. Question -L, J.; -Can ono pasture new seeding for a while this summer and theta turn the cattle out and cut a crop of clover seed? The wheat 00 this field was thin last year and while the clover came up evenly: and malle a Splendid growth it was weedy in places and for that reason I do not want to cut it for hay. Answer: -It is possible to pasture new seeding if there is sufficient clov- er growth, granted that the soil is not a heavy clay type. If the soil is heavy clay, pasturing with heavy stock will tend to tramp the soil together, so that the clover setting will be smothered out. I am tffraid you will find the weed seeds among the clover seed a greater detriment than the weeds in the hay. They certainly reduce the value of the seed, Cut- ting' the crop for hay will do a lot to- wards killing out the weeds. When birds drop over as if paralyz- ed, the trouble is heat prostration, caused by pressure on the brain. To prevent this, provide protection from the sun and avoid overcrowdinga keep bird cool and apply cold water to the head. At this time of the year broody hens are in the majority and cause no little trouble to the attendant. While it is advisable for those who do not run incubators and brooders to set every broody during the entire summer, at the came time there will be many broodies that can not be utilized. How to rid them of the hatching fever has been the cause of many experiments by farmers and poultrymen. It is to be regretted that some of these methods are extremely cruel and should not be allowed. In one instance noted recently a hen was tied by the leg with a piece of rope to a post; in -the other instancethe hen was being immersed in a pail of water. In both these cases the hensbecame excited, and the theory is that in this excited state they forget their broodiness. While that may be so to a certain extent, it is equally true that excitement often makes nervous, scary hens; and in the case of fat hens it is not uncom- mon to have them die from fright, or lneett with some severe injury, -- A more humane treatment is to place them in separate coops without nests, or in a flock where they are kept out- door the entire day and permitted to roost in a house only at night. Kindness should be an order that is never violated. Keep the summer chicks growing, Provide shade. Give the youngsters all the range possible. Exercise is the best tonic growing stock can have. This is considered a good month for caponizing. • There is still a good market for young ducklings and soft roasting fowls. • If breeding is finished, the males are best removed from the pens until after the molting season. July is the month in which rats, minks, 'possums and weasels do their most deadly work. Be on the look- out. When their presence is discov- ered dig after them; give them no quarter. Kindness -is a cheap supplement to the ration and produces big gains in milk flow.- ' Keep the calf pails as clean as the milk pails. The cow giving the richest milk does not necessarily bring the biggest cream check. It is the total amount of fat produced that counts. Heavy milkers due to calve during July should be milked once or twice a day for a couple of weeks before calv- ing, if the udder is distended. This attention may prevent the loss of a valuable cow from milk -fever, or in- jury to the udder, which makes a cow almost worthless for milking. When the butter granules do not form after churning a reasonable time, try putting a small amount of table salt in the churn. A little warm wa- ter has the same effect of hastening the granules, Too much warm wa- ter makes soft butter. Memory is rather an uncertain thing to depend on to identify the calves that are taken away from their mothers and raised by hand. When the ques- tion of ownership or parentage is raised, it is much more convincing to have each calf marked with a metal tag fastened to a strap around the calf's neck. Records are half the value of a good herd. "News -Record's New Clubbing Elates For 1917 WEEKLIES.

Why is it that the boy of the house is usually sentenced (I use that.last word deliberately and I believe appro- pritately) to the least desirable, most uninviting room in the house, not in- frequently two of them being packed in together for no reason than to save trouble caring for two rooms instead of one? Not only is the boy's room rather doubtfully located and of shoe box dimensions, but it has a sorry habit of being meagerly furnished or else crowded, being used as a sort of dumping ground for thecast-off furni- ture from the rest of the house, Any- thing seems good enough for Bil1'. o - cause, mother reasons, he hardly knows one piece of furniture from an- other; has no conception of good or bad taste, nor is he appreciative of beauty, Isn't he? Perhaps he couldn't express it in so many words, but -oh, well, let's begin et the beginning. The thing of first importance is that a chap should have a room of his own if possible. The kind of room and the location are secondary matters. Some one has happily described one's own room a( "a home within a home." It is •more -a haven. The house may be seething, our loved ones may for the time misunderstand (and who so often misunderstood as the average boy ?) but with closed door in our very own room we can breathe thankfully, "I've shut my door and I am all alone, Here in my room all fragrant with my better self, * 8 4 8 :N * Outside, the strife and struggle and the strain; In here there's peace and quietude and strength," and come out with itew poise,for the living of life among others. 'And that is what a separate room means to a boy, too, though he would scorn to express it so poetically. " With his own room the boy will have an opportunity to express his in- divideality, Ho should be allowed to hang up posters, pictures of *one heroes, pennants and banners, and the many ether tremendous trifles in which boyhood revere, Nearly every lad has a collection of colored stones, coins, butterflies, or something, This collection he slhould'be allowed to keep in his own room; whore, safe from`tin- sympttthetie fingers, ho may proudly keep it upon display .upon a shelf or table or in a little cabinet. It is his room, rereember, and he should be al- lowed to keep his treasures in it, provided they are sanitary and that he keeps them in reasonable order. Pride in a room is the best incen- tive to orderliness. A boy cannot be expected to take pride 01 a shoddy or shabby room, where the furniture is totally unsuited or is of various woods and finishes and, therefore, unrelated. - Did you ever know a boy who did not love to paint? If it is not possible to have matching furniture for his room, suggest to him that hz first re- move the quarreling finishes from the .variegated articles with some commer- cial paint remover and then paint it all the same color. Pride? That boy will take a tremendous pride in his room. Just think of showing "the fellows" a room full of pretty furni- ture painted by himself! To make order as easy as possible, the room should never be crowded. The essential pieces of furniture are a bed, single or iii couch form if the room is small, a bureat- or chiffonier, two easy chairs for himself and a possible guest, a desk, and a bookcase, if the youngster can be trusted notate get up and read in the middle of the night - as sonic have been known to do. Rather thein an ugly old carpet oe a shoddy rug, place ole or two small 'rugs upon the painted floor. If the room happens to be large he should be I allowed to keep other things in it be- sides those mentioned, but always with ,the stipulation that he keep n reason- able amount of macler. A room sereer is fine foe a fairly large room, as it can Iia made to partition off' a corner for n study or den. It does seem that moat mothers cannot help being annoyed by their sons' tastes in "art."

Bat Blease, oh, please, don't throw those things away or bundle them away out of sight! They tlo mean so much to a boy, et least for a while, Ile will throw them away himself when they are outgrown, It is wise to give him really good pictures that he will like, such as Howa'c!

Any red rust on blackcap or black- berry plants? If so, dig out and burn the diseased canes, roots and all. Too much hot sun causes picked blackberries to turn an undesirable reddish color. Hurry them into the packing -shed. The spring -set strawberry bed needs cultivating regularly and often. Your standing sign should be: "Weeds not allowed here."

From thne to time during the sum- mer go over young trees to guide their growth. If too many limbs are start- ing front a given point, they may be thinned to the required number. If a rank limb tends to fill the center o• cross other limbs, it may be removed.

The Fairy of the Roses. Most people thought the old lady - who lived in the house that stood all by itself was very gqb,eer and very cross; but Alline said she was cross only because she had rheumatism, and that if you could get her to tell a fairy story she would forget all about the pain, and be just as pleasant as anything. "I'm going to her house non," said Alline, "for she promised she would tell me to -day about the fairiea of the roses." "Can you -see that rose tree?" said the old lady, wben Alline was com- fortably seated on a stool beside her. "Well, it is owned by a fairy who, like the old woman who Iived in a shoe, has more ehildren than she knows what to do with. She is so dreadfully afraid of having anything happen to them that sloe has shut each one up tight in a rosebud. There they will stay, until they grow big enough and strong ene,ugh to burst the buds open, and then each one will fly away." "And where will they go?" asked Alline. "That I cannot say," answered the old lady; "there are so many of them, and they choose such different places, They are also very fond of disguises - sometimes one might take them for butterflies, at other times for hum- ming birds. Often, when you can't see them at all, you can find out just about where they are by listening." "Oh," dried Alline, "what do they say?" The old lady shook her head. "Who can tell what they'say? If that were p ssihlo, mortals would perhaps be wiser than they are, You can often hear them either whispering among the leaves -though there are some who will tell you it is only the wind- er singing by the brook a little tinkl- ing song."

"I see a great white rose," she said. "That little humming bird must have bean the fairy. Oh, I'm so glad we both saw it!" If you believe in good roads, pave the way over which the pig must travel to become porn. A.smail pen built close to the sow's pen, with a hole through which the pigs can_passand eat grain by them- selves, will encourage them to eat grain much sooner. Alfalfa is one of the best pastures for growing pigs. Sweet clover is one of the earliest pasture crops on which pigs thrive almost as well as on alfalfa, Rape is a good forage crop which is.ready six weeks after plant- ing. It can be sowed in the corn at the time -of the last cultivation. Dead pigs at farrowing time result from the sows climbing over a piece of two by four in the door of the hog house, The remedy is apparent - take out the cross piece. a A small amount of soft coal for the hogs to eat is a good thing. Too much is constipating. Marketing a sow that can be,or has been bred, is at this time comparable to killing the goose that laid the gold- en egg. The meat supply of the country can be increased more quickly by means of the hog route than by any other. Pork production is cheaper with grain and green forage crops than with grain alone. Some grain is nec- essary for fattening hogs on pasture. Clover and alfalfa rank among the best crops for swine pasture. Lead suitable for the casing of tea is needed at Amoy, China.
