It was well manured-two years ago, and sowed to wheat; not seeds last year, Plowed lust fall, and bean planted thle spring without fertilizer. Shows a good stand of beans. The soil needs lime. Will you kindly tell me the best way to start the alfalfa, also when and how to lime the soil? • Answer: -When the beans are harvested have the ground plowed deeply. Al soon as the soil is dry 'en ough to work next - spring, apply ,,a dressing of ground limestone at the rate of et least a ton per acre. Work this into the soil l y disking and har- rowing, About two weeks later sow a bushel to a bushel and a half of bar- ley as. a nurse crop at the same time seeding with 20 to 25 pounds of good alfalfa seed per acre. - In order to in. sure n good catch of alfalfa, I would advise the addition of 200 to 300 pounds of fertilizer per acre. This can be drilled in at the same time the seed is sown, if the seed drill has a fertilizer distributing attachment. If not, the fertilizer can be broadcasted the same as was the lime and worked into -the soil by a light harrowing just previous to the time the grain and alfalfa' seed is sown. This fertilizer should carry from 2 to 4% ammonia and from 8 to 12% available phos- phoric acid. It would be well also to have 1 or 2% potash, if it is obtain- able, will get better results than you would otherwise, In order' to still further insure a catch, I would advise drilling in 200 d to 300 :lbs. of fcrtilizep per acre, as beans Question-H.H.:-I have an eight - acre field which I want to sow to oats in the spring. This piece of land is sandy loam and in a fair state of fertility, having been covered with manure in the last two years. It pro- duced a good crop of corn this year. I want to get this field seeded to clov- er, no clover having been grown on it for the last six years. How would you advise sowing the clover to in- sure a catch? Would you inoculate the seed? I have clover chaff from about 25 loads of clover seed. Could this be used to inoculate by spreading on the field after it -•is plowed and worked in the soil with a harrow? Answer; -After the corn -has been harvested, deeply fall ploy; the soil and in the spring apply a ton to a ton and a half of ground limestone per acre. Work this in with a careful disking and harrowing. In sowing a mixture of clover and timothy, you can profitably use 10 lbs. of clover and 4 lbs. of alsike to the acre, as well as 5 or 0 lbe of timothy seed. Make 'sure that you get good vital seed, That is, have your seed purchased by early spring. Count out a couple of hun- dred seed as an average sample. Place these between two damp blot- ters. Keep the blotters medium damp but not soaked. Place them on a plate and keep the seed near some source of warmth. In a week ar ten days the seed should have sprouted sufficiently to ascertain the percent of" good strong seed. If only 75% of tate seed germinates strong, increase your seeding about 25%. I would advise inoculating the seed but not by mixing it with clover chaff. Write to Prof. D. 11. Jones of the Bac- teriological Department of Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, and ob- tain a culture for clover seed from him. This bottle of material con- tains the pure line of bacterial life that lives on the roots of ,he clover seed. Apply this as directed and you in answer to -A, P. - Question-B.II,:-I- have a field that is seeded to clover on the north half, and the south part is in corn this year. 'mash to use the whole field for cow pasture next year. What can I sow on the south part that will make good pasture? - Answer; After the corn has bee harvested, I would advise you to fall plow this part of the field and as soo as the soil will work in the spring, sow the followin mixture1-one bushe each of when�t, rye and barley. For Pasture purposes it will not make any difference whether you -rise fall wheat or spring wheat for spring seeding. With good weather this pasture should come along so that you can use it in six weeks, Avoid pasturing too heavily, and on the other hand avoid allowing any of the grain to some to head. This mixture has given good results on many farms in Ontario and in tests at Ontario Agricultural Col- lege. CET JRID OF HuMRHS .

Could I work it good now and sow' part of it to sweet clover this fall for pasture next summer? It is first class clay loam nice and level and dry. Would you ad- vise me what would be my hest course to take to have good pasture for -next summer? Answer: -I would not advise the growth of sweet clover for pasturage next spring. I have examined this crop as it grows in the Eastern half of this continent and have not been im- pressed with its usefulness as a pas- ture or hay crop. ;. On sandy soils where there is a desire to increase the organic matter rapidly, sweet clover can be grown and plowed under to good effect. IfY ou wish next. summere • •' sP as- ture for temporary purposes only, - that is, for the one summer, -I would advise you to -work the ground as you indicate and to sow a mixture of rye and winter wheat this fall. As soon as the crop has made a fair spring growth, it will be ready for pasturing and will continue to give good pas- turage as long as you prevent the grain from coming' into head. As soon as the snow begins to go off in the spring, I would advise you to sow 10 lbs. per acre of common red clover seed on the rye and wheat ground. The alternating thaws and! frosts will work this seed into the ground and the young clover will come along so as to fill up the bare spaces and to make a substantial bifeking to I the grain pasture. If you wish to seed your ground to a mixture that you want to stand for two or three years, I would advise you • to work it as you recommend this fall, and seed it to a light sowing of win- ter wheat or rye, say one bushel per acre; also sow timothy seed at the rate of 4 or 8 lbs. to the acre. As soon as the winter snows begin to go off, sow a mixture of 6 lbs. of common red clover and 4 lbs. of alsike per acre as recommended above. Cut the wheat as soon as it is ripe so as tot give the grass and clover mixture an opportunity to make a good sub-' stantial growth. Ezra Ducky-Daddle tripped over his red knitted muffler, He felt a dread- ful scratch down his bank, and he was sure that he had lost a lot of feath- ers; but he scrambled up and hurried into the house, where he helped his brothers bolt the door. When Amanda came home she found seven very frightened little Ducky -Daddies. "If you eat a great deal, you will Mon. be 80 big that Towser-Cat will not dare to chase you," she said to her seven frightened children. And at supper they ate all of their bread and mills, and even asked 'for more.. ' A few clays later Amanda' Ducky- Daddle had to go to market to buy a new broom. As it was raining, all oe the little Ducky-Daddles helped her into her rubbers and then put oh their own. One by °one she kissed them geed -bye and said "St 1 1 you see Towson -Cott run in quick and bolt the door." ',Chen she took her umbrella and started for town, • • The little Ducky-Daddles were hunt- ing for worms, when Sammy saw something black behind the goose- berry bush, "Run, run!" he cried. "lt's the Towser-Cat 1" They all started for the hoose, but their -rubbers were so heavy that they could hardly run and Towser-Cat soon caught up with thein, Before the seven young Ducky-Daddles could shut the 0009, his big black paw was inside. They all. pushed the door as herd as they could, but it world not shot, "Hold the door tight and I will pull the gooseberry net over him!" cried Sammy, jumping opt of the window,. "Look out for ]tie claws!" I!lere call. ed excitedly, as Sammy pulled the net over Towser-Cat; wlrart he was all tangled tip the seGett set up a shout; "Bet's push him bite the pond!

They rolled Met 'down the hill, over ay neer t le louse, and if the banking, and splash! into the pond. . "Push him way out to the middle, 1 where it's wettest," said Ezra.. In the excitement all of the seven little Ducky -Daddies fell into the 1 pond, and all of them lost their rub- bers as they tumbled over one anoth- er. '"I've lost my rubbers!" called Sammy , l e "So have II" cried Ezra, s And "So have Il" cried all of the b others, and they swam out into the s pond after their rubbers. ;11 When they returned there was no f Towser-Cat. He had scui'1'ied up the bank anci 1•un a'tvay, - Now you lcnow why Towser-Cat does not like the water. S In the weave lies the secret of a M new Turkish towel that is said to ab- a sere water more tepidly than absorb- a, ent cotton. �e eele 1• curs in consequence of a severe bruise may generally be prevented by firm • i compression immediately after the in - Miley. Itisa custom among German mothers when a child falls, striking its head severely, to apply the convex surface of a bowl of a teaspoon im- mediately on picking it up. The compression can he kept up by means of a pad and bandage as long as desired. When a person has been much jar- red by a considerable fall or more or less bruised all over, a hot full bath or a hot blanket pack will give more relief than any other remedy. If the patient is faint apply cold water first. In ease a person has been bruised about the trunk or body by having a tree fall on him or being run over, the services of a skilled surgeon should be obtained as soon as possible. Hot £omentations may be employed in the meantime, - Bruises upon the head in conse- quence of severe, blows or a fall often give rise to serious symptoms on ac- count of. fracture of the skull and compressign of the brain or from simple concussion p s on or jarring of the brain. If a person is unconscious or partially paralyzed in consequence of an accident in which -the head is injur;, ed, surgical advice should be obtain- ed at once and an X-ray examination should be made. 'As a general rule continuous cold is the best application for injuries resulting from severe blows upon the head. Fomentations may applied at intervals to relieve soreness, but the hot application should be continued not longer than five or ten minutes at a time. WHERE OLD PINS GO Disappear Into Thin Air, Says a Paris Scientist Por many years the world has been baffled by the problem of where the' pins go that are turned out in millions of millions sb the e in factories. Y P But the problem seems to have been solved at last. A Paris scientist has been experi- menting en pins, hairpins and needles by the simple process 'of watching a few. He states that they practically disappear into thin air, changing into ferrous oxide, a brownish rust that soon blows away in dust. An ordinary hairpin took only 152 days to blow away. A steel pin last- ed just under fifteen months, A common pin tools eighteen months to vanish. A polished steel needy,. lee defied the ravages of the atmpsphet'e ongest, taking 234 years to disappear. So the reason why the world is not a foot deep in pins it buys js, it seems, exactly the same which makes an iron urface scale off when exposed for a ong time to the atmosphere without he protection of paint. The robber cow,• the broken -mouth - d ewe with the spoiled udder, the ow with the small litter of runty, pot- ellied, squealing pigs, the impotent tallion, bull or ram, and the light- eeced sheep, have no place on our arms or ranges, and no justification or consuming high-priced feed. A great range of mountains once ex - ended from the eastern enol of Lake uperior south-west to beyond the issouri River, In places they were mile high. Weather and volcanic ction wore them down, the sea cover - d them and to -day. they are prairie. ()Mao' Too many breeders are so anxious to get returns that they breed young sows before they aro developed, The result is that the sow never turns, out to be what she would have had see attained her growth before farrowing. The best cross to produce pigs for bacon is ono between pure-br0d boars and sows of the same breed, To speak plainly, crossing of breeds is rather risky except in the hands of,ono who thoroughly understands -breeding, and snc11 mon d0 not practise ft to any ex- tent. Many newly -born pigs die immedi- ately after delivery just for lack of a ...hehelping palet, If a sow farrows nine lping and loses three, a loss of one- third is expol'ieeeed; but fete loop at the matter in that light. They gen- erall'y consider themselves fortunate that the other two-thirds of the litter pulled through. About three weeks before, farrowing, pregnant Sows may be given a ration consisting of nine parts of rolled bar- ley and one part of tankage, or three pounds of skim-nijlk to one pound 01 the barley. This method of feeding will insure strong, lusty, active new- born pigs. Although yoar choicest young animals fail to wire ribbons at the fairs, the efforts for bottom stock have not been wasted.
