Among the problems that the groat
war has created for Cnnmla, the pvob
lem of growing root seod, i, e, seed of
swede and fail turnips, mange's, and
field carrots, may seem rather in-
significant to the average Canadian
citizen, Yet, that problem is to -day
one of the moat vital to the Canadian
farmer, notably the dairy farmer, in,
asmueh as it is directly connected
with the providing of that iedispens
able stock food that is generally refer-
e'ed to as "foots".
In 1915, Canada imported a total of
1,927,318 pounds of turnip seed, end
7.,056,060 rounds of manger Bald beet
seed. In 1910,the import of turnip
seed' dwindled to 150,856 pounds and
the import of' mangel and beet seed
to 635,707 pounds; and for 1917, the
figures stand at 291,379 pounds for
turnip seed and 891,677 pounds for
mange] and beet seed. This means
that Canada imported a total of these
most important farm seeds, in the
years of 1916 and 1917, which falls
short of the import: of 1915 alone of,
roughly, one, millioh pounds. It
should be added that practically every
pouh0' of field red .seed used in this
country is of European origin.
That Canada was running a great
risk of having her supplyiof root seed
from f'urope shut off, partly or wholly,
as a result of the war, was regretfully
Predicted in an Experimental Farms
bulletin entitled "Groviing Field Root,
Vegetable and Flower Seeds in
Canada", issued early in 1915. In
the said bulletin, an appeal was made,
as has also repeatedly been done later
in many issues of "Seasonable Hints"
distributed by the Dominion Experi-
mental. Farms System. to Canadian
farmers and others interested in the
seed supply being kept up, urging that
Canada could not afford to take the
risk or relying on import from Europe
either under prevailing war conditions,
or immediately after the conclusion of
peace. It was emphatically stated
that "Canada should make herself in-
dependent of foreign markets and pro-
duce at home what now has to be
brought from abroad. Canadian
farmers should not only try to meet

ed that there was, according to re-

cidedly, that there are in Canada,
great opportunities, for developing, -a

May it. also be -added that the rais-

crops of the Dominion. This will,
however, be discussed in a special

Reforestation,
The problem of reforesting arena
that are otherwise unproductive
should be considered by agriculturists.
Perhaps next in importance to the dis-
posal of
is-posal.of brush and slash is the effect
of close cutting on hillsides, In malty
instances, the clearing of trees from a
elope has encouraged a washing of
soil that not only ruins the slope but
also buries the productive field at its
foot and greatly increases tate damage
done by brooks at flood conditions.

plant per acre depends upon the
variety: Two to four pecks of the

larger variety has given good results.
In cultivating the beans be careful
not to cultivate too deeply. Bean
'roots are shallow. Do not cut off
these roots or cultivate •the beans

Answer: -1. There is no best variety
of potatoes for all markets. Profes-
sor Zavitz of Ontario Agricultural
College, who has given the subject
careful and long study, reports in his
most recent bulletin the •t for table
quality, Empire'State, Rose's Now In-
vincible, Rural New Yorker No, 2,
White Elephant, and Stray Beauty are
all good potatoes. The first four
rank above, 75, when judged on the
basis of 100 for perfect table pota-
toes. They are also heavy yielders.
For early potatoes, Stray Beauty,
Howe's Premium, and Early Ohio rank
high. 2. As a genera+ rule Grimni

results in the middle west. There are
other hardy strains being introduced

Russia. • 3. Grass seed may be sown
broadcast in front of the disks, or the
conveyers from the grass seed box
may be attaclrgd so that the seed is
sown with the grain seed, falling
through the boot. On a sandy loam
soil, if the grain is not sown too deep-
ly, 'the latter method usually will give
the best results. If the grain is be-
ing sown very deeply, however, it
would be better to ,allow the grass
'seed to drop broadcast in front of the
disks and to rely upon its being thor-
oughly covered by the chain drags

QUESTIONS *TB ANSWERS.
•Catarrh,.and the Nasal Duct,
I have .catarrh of the nose. The
nasal passage is choked, up; causing.
the.eye on the affected side to become
feverish and to feel very enlarged,
Answer—Don't temporize for a mo-
merit. There is at least inflammation
of the lachrymal or tear duct, which
runs from the eye -socket to the nose,
Possibly also extension of the cat-
arrhal inflammation to the orbit, the
eye socket.
Globus Idystericus,
What is the cause of a slight strang-
ling feeling in the throat, a kind of dry-
ness that keeps me from swallowing.
The trouble is at the Adam's apple.
Answer—I could not of course be
sure in the circumstances; but the
trouble is probably globus hystericus
as the doctors call it—a symptom of.
hysteria. Better be examined how-
ever and be 'sure.
Feeding Fall Litters.
Pigs raised by a mature sow get a
better start while young and give
greater profits than the pigs from a
young, immature sow. To increase
the number of brood sows by selec-
tion from last fall's litters, one should
choose the thrifty, broad -chested sows
and leave out the narrow -chested,
pinch -bellied ones to be prepared for
a market for a convenient season.
Pigs sired. by mature boars are
generally larger, and `more thrifty
while young than those sired by im-
mature boars. It is expected that
the fall pigs will be farrowed as early
as October. At that time the soWs
with their pigs should be allowed to
run in the open where there is: an
abundance of green feed, clover, al-
falfa, rape, or rye. If the sows are
fed sloppy feed at that time they will
give a liberal amount of milk.
When the pigs are about three
weeks old they will want to eat more
than the milk they can get from their
mother. A small shallow trough
should be placed where the sow cannot
get:to it. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour in some milk; if the milk
is sweet, all the better. Put into the
feed about a' tablespoonful of
molasses. Drive the little pigs care-
fully over the trough. They' will get
-the odor from the molasses, put their
noses to the feed, lap it, and begin to
eat.
It will not be necessary to drive the
pigs to the trough again. They will
go to the same place the next day.
They should be fed some warm feed
twice each day. If any feed is left
in the trough it may be put where
the sow can clean it up. Always
feed the pigs in a clean trough.
After feeding the pigs in this way
for a week or two, coarser feed can
be used, and sour or butter -milk in
the place of sweet milk. But one
should continue to' scald the grain feed
and feed the pigs while it is warm:
Increase the amount•of the -feed as the
pigs grow.
•Pigs fed in this manner should
weigh 50 pounds at weaning time,
when they are about eight weeks of
age. If the warm feed is continued,
t k
the 1•e will be no check in the growth
by taking the sow away from them.
Always give the pigs a warm, dry
place in which to sleep. Do not al-
low much air space above the nest.
Give an opportunity for an abundance
of exercise and a variety of feed. It
is practicable to push them to popular
market weights by the time they are
seven months of age. The gains are
made more cheaply before that time
than it is possible to make them after
that ags. As'true patriots we must
not miss planning for the -fall litters,
and when they arrive we should make
the most of them.

Keep Windows Open.
Get into the habit of living in a
house with all the windows open, rain
or shine—night and day. . You can't
possibly get too much fresh air. The
very fact that people say their houses
are damp and chilly shows that the
windows have not been open enough,
says a prominent health authority.
Damp houses come from_not hay

ing enough air to dry them out. Even
on the rainy days it were better to
open wide the windows and let the
fresh air in and even a little rain—
than to shut the windows down, stop,

Glad to Hear of Promotion.
Private Smith, after serving three
weeks with the forces had fallen be-
neath the avenging eye of the C.O. for
some petty offense. Thereafter he
sent this touching epistle to his moth-
er: "Dear Mother—I am now. a de-
faulter." His grief was too great
to write more, so he got- a comrade
to mail it for him, and sat him down
to do his punishment in silence. Five
days later he got this: "My Dear son
—I am so glad to hear of your promo-
tion. Be sure to be kind to the men
under you, and never forget that you
were a private once yourself."
Dig bulb beds deep to give good
drainage. Eighteen inches is the very
least depth for good results. Never
use fresh manure, Bone meal and
basic slag are good for bulbs.
Scraps of toilet soap should be sav-
ed and when half a cupful or so is
saved, it is a good plan to make the
scraps into a soap jelly.

The roasting fowl must be young,
full grown, plump and well finished.
It Is ripe for a choice roaster only a
short time. It is well finished when
fat and lean )neat are• well intermix-
ed inoproportions. roportions. An unfinish-
ed
ed fowl lacks flavor, and does not pre-
sent an appetizing appeariince when
prepared for the table. The flesh ap-
pears shrunken and the bones are
prominent: Besides, the meat will he
dry and tough.
Before starting to lay, the pullet
makes an ideal roaster, but after she
has started to lay the flesh becomes
tough. When the spurs of the cock-
erel harden, the flush toughens.
Hog fat is not a desirable condition
for mnrlcet poultry. Close -grained
carea•ases are preferred. Large, rough,
coarse fowls are not in good demand.
There is better eating in a stag than
in a reale that has been mated. As a
rule, a Igen is a better roasting fowl
than a male.
The spring chicken is ono hatched
not earlier than February, nor later
than May, and is ripe foe market when
two or three pounds in weight. Chicks
hatched the last of August, or the first
neck in September, are fit for the
broiler market about the end of
November. .
Do not neglect a cold. Iteep your-
self in good pitysidal condition by
observing the laws of health. Dress
warmly, but not too heavily; get all
the fresh air and sunshine you can;
sleep with your window partly open
at night and peep yourself Weil by
every .other possible moans,
