In choosing the variety of tame grass to be sown, at- tention should be paid to the moisture requirements of the grase and its adaptation to the particular soil in which it is to be planted. Timothy, Kentucky blue grass, mea- dow fescue, redtop, brome, orchard, Bermuda and tall eat grass have a general adaptation to farm crops. Usually these grasses should be sown in combination with one or more of the legumes, such as alfalfa or clover, as this improves the condition of the soil liberal—will materially help the lay- this adds a great deal of nitrogen. ing 'down of starch within the roots Combinations of grass that have of sugar beets, turnips or potatoes. been grown successfully in some At the same time, the addition of parts are 8 lbs. of timothy and 2 lbs. of mammoth or alsike clover; 12 lbs. of orchard grass and 8 lbs, of red clov- er; 19 lbs. o1 brome grass and 8 lbs. of red clover; 3 lbs. of bronze grass, 5 have been treated with formalin, how - lbs, of orchard grass, and 6 lbs. of red ever, so as to kill the scab and spores clover to the acre. that may be attached to them, very available phosphoric acid.

Lime is highly desirable for all crops of the legume nature, such as peas, beans, clover, alfalfa and the like, not so much be- cause it is a plantfood as because it brings the soil into condition where the bacteria that live on the roots of the legumes thrives at their best. Ashes are especially valuable on soils where root crops are to be grown, since the amount of potash which they contain—if the application it fairly ashes, since it carries a considerable amount of lime, tends to bring the re- action of the soil into such form that it is a good habitation for the pro- pagation of potato scab.

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. --1— -- Most fruits contain from 75 to 95 per cent. water and a balance of woody fibre orcellulose, fruit sugar and min- erals.

Someone left the oat -bin door open, the horses were loose; and we all know the rest. The thing to do if the eceicloni has been detected an hour er so after the grain has been eaten is to get n veterinarian as soon as possible and pump as much out of the stomach by the aid of a stomach tube as pos- sible.

For this reason picking the goose- berries or currants is a job that can be made to fill in the time between more urgent tasks. Added to this fact, l currants and gooseberries are usually very saleable, and if there are any I more produced than the family cares !.for the excess can be marketed to good advantage. Of course, the goose- ; beery is open to some objection since ! many of the brambles are so thorny but there are several varieties that are nearly free from these "instruments of torture" and when planning out the fruit garden the smooth gooseberries should be planted. • 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. „ i CANADA'S FOREST SERVICES.

My people are all stout and my children stout and hearty. Answer—You are 20 pounds under weight. I should not, of course, judge only by your letter. But on general principles operation would be best.

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.

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. elk ton News- Record CLINTON, ONTARIO.
