' Profitable 'Windbreak.
By T, S. Hurd,
A windbreak la desirablee wherever
art orchard is exposed to strong winds,
,Ping trees and Chinese, arbor vitae
planted years ago now constitute the
best windbreaks, Objections are
often made to the red cedar on ae-
count ot# the fungus, bee -stage of
Which spreads to apple trees, The
damage from this source is probably
overestimated.
Tho real objections to evergreens is
that they are .slow in growth, averag-
ing 11/2 feet a year. They afford,
however, the maximum resistance to
wind all the time, The roots of
evergreens do not spread wifAely, and
the orchard trees can be planted with -
m a short distance of the windbreak.
If aperson does not like pines ho
should plant hard wood trees, such as
walnuts, pecans, or oaks. In thirty-
five to forty years these trees' will
matte a good windbreak. It is really
a case of planting for your grand-
children. With hard woods the lum-
ber investment always, pays .
Cottonwoods, hedge, and mulberry
trees are much in favor. They are
rapid growers, and 'consequently the
orchard trees must be planted several
rods away. The rate of growth more
than compensates the man who must
protect his orchard in a short time for
their greed in the use of the soil. The
growth of cotton woods will pay rent.
Windbreaks protect trees from both,
summer and winter evaporation, and
from cold. Snow lies more evenly in
the protectetl orchard and melts less,
rapidly. The blossoms are protected
from severe winds anis the number of
windfalls is lessened. Trees will!
grow more erect and in better form.
Windbreaks are, however, not with -1
out their drawbacks. Sometimes
frost is more severe next to the wind-
break, where the air does not circulate;
so freely. Injuries from insects -and!
fungous diseases are more apt to oc-j
cur near a windbreak, but these cap be,
averted by spraying.
Sulphur My Cure -All,
While the subjeet.is fresh in mind,
after another season's experience in
using sulphur as.a euro -all, I went to
urge our readers to be prepared to
give this remedy a trial next spring
for I feel that were the benefits of
a'ulphur better known much loss would
be prevented, says a successful farm
woman. Flowers of sulphur is an
excellent insecticide for small opere-
titons. It is perfectly harmless, and
has valuable germicidal qualities. "‘.-
I bade saved fine fruit trees from
the ravages of ground mice and root-
injuring insects by sprinkling flowers
ef sulphur on the ground around the
roots of the trees. I put a little sul-
phur in the hill when I set cabbage
plants, and•the cutworms never molest
them. I also mix,sulphur with limo
andisprinkle the growing cabbage to
keep off the green worms. '
A teaspoonful of sulphur• mixed with
the soil in flower pots will kill the
worms that prey upon the roots of the
flowers.
I also sprinkle it on the rosebushes
while the dew is on, to prevent mildew.
When ,I set hens I put a spoonful of
sulphur under the nest material, and
no mites will come near the sitting
hens. I also sprinkle it freely over
the henhouse floor, mixed with salt,
and no mites ever bother.
Sulphur mixed with lard and applied
to fresh cuts or old wounds, I find
will keep off flies and heal sores on all
kinds of animals.

fruit garden the smooth gooseberries

flow To Plant
It is exceedingly irksome to observe
some people planting their brambles.
Many believe that they should dig a
hole a foot deep, fill it with manure
and then put the bush into this hole.
Some even go so far as to carry water
to the plants. Whether to plant in
the spring or in the fall is a matter
that cannot always be definitely decid-
ed. I like the fall planting because it
allows the plant to get firmly estab-
lished before winter. The soil about
the roots is thoroughly compacted by
the heaving and thawing and the plant
is ready to bear fruit the next season.
It should be remembered that most of
these brambles should be planted not
more than three inches deep and it is
a good.seheme to do the planting after
a rain. Where the plant is to be plac-
ed; stick a spade down into the earth
and bend it forward, put the plant
into the hole thus made and compact
the soil thoroughly by pushing the
earth that was moved by the spade
back about the plant. This compact-
ing of the soil about the roots of the
newly set plant is one of the most im-
portant features in transplanting,
After the plants have been set out,
thorough cultivation now and then
keeps down the weeds and keeps a
crust from forming; both these are of
considerable benefit to the plants.
None of the brambles are very par-
ticular as to soil requiremenfts; neith-
er do they require careful cultivation
after they have become established.
They return a large amount of food
for the area upon which they grow
and for these reasons steps sihould be
taken immediately to enable every
farm fancily to store in its larder a
sufficient supply of these small fruits
to allow the members of the family all
they desire throughout the year.

THE STAGES 01
After the incubation comes the
pronounced disease, in three stages:
two weeks of catarrh, two weeks of
spasm ,(the paroxysmal stage), two
weeks—or more—of convalescence.
It is in the spasmodic stage that per-
tussis is most catching. The
catarrhal stage simulates an ordinary
cold. There is a cough like that of
bronchitis; but it does not respond to
the medication appropriate to that dis-
ease, becomes indeed 'more persistent
day by day, not however taking on the
paroxysmal character until toward the
end of the catarrhal stage. Now
comes the spasmodic stage; character-
ized by the peculiar violent cough, a
series of rapidly succeeding expira-
tory explosions, followed by a deep in-
spiration through partly closed vocal
cords, causing thus the whoop or the
kink. There is by way of premoni-
tion a tickling or a sense of irritation
around Adam's apple, producing pre-
sently an uncontrollable desire to
cough. As t4e laryngeal spasm oc-
curs there is a sometimes appalling
(especially in adults) sense of impend-
ing suffocation, "as if one's last sec-
and had come." All this is now re-
peated perhaps several times, until
finally a plug of mucus is expelled,
with perhaps vomiting, t This termin-
ates the paroxysm for the time being.
There are like to be from a dozen
to eighty or a hundred such spasms
in the twenty-four hours: During the
paroxysm the child's head and face be-
come red and duslcy, the eyelids are
congested, and there may he ruptured
blood vessels in the "whites of the
eyes." The eyes water and appear to
bulge from their sockets. Tine nose
"runs." The whole body is in a state
of spasm and becomes covered with
sweat. The pulse is very rapid. With
Forty Cows on Forty Acres.
This is the experience of a farmer
who maintains forty head of dairy cat-
tle on forty acres of land. "Forty
'cows on forty acres" is his slogan, and
it has led him to much more than aver-
age success as a dairyman. Of the
forty head of Jerseys, seven are
grades and the others are, pure-bred
animals.
For several years without a break
this ntan has had one of the highest
scores at the local condensing plant
where he disposed of the milk. His
best cow has a record of 21..53 pounds
of butter in seven days. This dairy-
man kills no calves and sells none for
veal. He seems to have no trouble
in disposing of them for breeding pur-
poses at prices ranging from $60 to
$80 a head.
How does he do it? By raising
alfalfa to help maintain both the herd
and the soil fertility. Alfalfa is used
ilargely in feeding the cows. It meets
the requirements of a good roughage,
being rich in crude protein and lime.
The calves are raised entirely on
alfalfa hay and skim -milk.

My little girl of seven years is un-
able to pronounce distinctly any words
with the letter "s". She sticks her
tongue through her teeth when talk-
ing. Also site invariably breathes
through her mouth and grinds her
teeth when asleep. • Might this be
just catarrh?
Answer—Such difficulty might come
on after diphtheria or other exhaust-
ing disease, after mumps or inflam-
mation of the tongue. Perhaps there
are enlarged tonsils. There may be
catarrh (snuffles) an, you suggest.
Should any of these causes obtain,
their removal would no doubt be fol-
lowed by normal speech. Have the
matter attended to soon, so that no
speech defect habit may develop.
Ontario, B.C., Quebec and New Bruns.
wick Are Abreast of Times.
Ontario has thoroughly reorganizedn
its forestry service and put itself on el
par with other up -to -elate provinces'
whose forest services are under ex-
pert technical direction. New Bruns-
wick is also swinging into line. A well-
qualified forester, Mt'. P. 7. Caverhill,
has been appointed as the head of the
forest service and is now making a
survey of its forest resources as a ba-
sis for laying down permanent lines of
forest policy, in this work, the Conn -
mission of Conservation has been as-
sisting the province on an advisory
capacity.
British Columbia and Quebec have
long been in the forefront of the pro-
vinces that have itad an efficient tech-
nically qualified forest service, Al-
though Nova Scotia's lo'ests have
been neatly ell cut over, an efficient
forest service would be an investment
for the province that would pay for
itself many times over in conserving
and utilizing the forest resources re-
maining. Two-thirds of the land area
is better adapted to forest growth
than to any other use and should be
re -forested.
