Poison Ivy
Poison ivy is rather difficult to'
eradicate except by persistent work,
declares J. F. Clark, horticultural lec-
tures, Agricultural Societies. Branch.
Tf the patch is not too large, you can
get_ rid of it by using one of the weed
killers obtainable at seed stores. This
should be applied according to the
a
directions given, which specify that
the ground be saturated with the li-
quid- One or two applications applied
a week or so apart will usually des-
troy the weed completely. .Under
some circumstances it can be eater
mutated most readily by the use of
a plumber's torch in the hands.of
someone who is immune from pois-
oning. A thorough burning out of;
the branches and roots is very 'ef-
fective, especially if an application of
some weed killer is made shortly af-
terwards. Another way of getting rid
ng of this poison plant, when it is grow-
ing
on the ground, is cover as muck
of it as possible with boards or heavy
roofing paper held down by boards.
In the course of several weeks the
lack of air, water and sunshine will
cause the plants to perish. ` Salt brine
is sometimes used; but it is too mild
a remedy for large patches.

Air toe Potatoes
and Stored p.
s � t
Careiess storing of wet potatoes is
responsible for' unnecessary annual
tosses. Potatoes ought to be stored
.dry in -a cool, well -ventilated cellar
which is perfectly dark. Piling po-
tatoes in heaps in warm and ;poorly
ventilated latest .:cellars creates the most
favorable conditions for rotting. Be-
fore placing the potatoes in a cellar,
wooden slats slightly apart should be
nailed about six inches or more frons,
the wall, and a temporary floor with
cracks between the boards should be
laid about six inches above the per-
manent floor., This will ensure air
to circulate around and under the pile
of potatoes. .If it should so happen
that the pile has to be very large,
square ventilators made of wooden
slats and running from top to bottom
of the pile should be put in here and.
there. Together. with the circulation
of air at the sides and at the bottom
of the pile, these ventilators will keep
the e potatoes in bettercon-
dition
a much. c n
dition than if they were in• a solid
pile. Another good plan recommend,
ed by the Dominion Department of
.
Agriculture is to keep the potatoes in
large crates made with slats, the ven-
tilation between the crates assisting
very much in keeping:the potatoes' in
good. condition. The temperature of
the storehouse or cellar should be
kept as nearly 33 or 35 degrees F.
as possible.

Cattle Eligible For Grading
In Demand at Toronto Market
"On a delivery of 3,100 head of
cattle to the Toronto Livestock Mar-
ket,' said Garnet H. Duntaxx, live-
stock
investigator, Ontario Market-
frig Board. "only 500 of these ani-
mals
ni aaaal: were eligible to make Blue or
Red Brand beef:"
"Of this narniter 150 were baby
beef, 194 butcher cattle, and 296 were
heavy cattle. Of the 296 hear cat
tie, 250 were exported, bringing good
returns to the .producer.
"H such a state continues, in view
the decided consumer •preference'
ided beef, it is quite possible
e demand will far exceed tb
ply in the near future."

to the Varietal Frost Act, thete is a

crop is stated to be about -20 per cent
lighter, which should help the barrel
situation considerably-. In England
there is a heavy crop of early cook-
ing apples, which is bound to affect
the price of 'Canadian cookers until
Christmas. Mr. Fulton concludes that
good quality Ontario apples will be
wanted and that this corring season
swill be a year -when "quality" will
count.
Following an inspection tour of
Ontario,he declares that the outlook:
is for a slightly larger crop of apples
than last year. Eastern Ontario -will
be about 10% .lighter and Western
Ontario approximately 25% heavier
than last year. He adds. "The qual-
ity is -exceptionally good, and sofar,
well -sprayed orchards are clean. 1
have never known more spraying to
be done in Ontario than this year,
and there is ever3, indication that the.
bulk of the crop veil! be eligible -for

Richest Farm Manure
Poultry manure is undoubtedly the
richest produced on the faun. Poul-
try .manure, :however, ferments very
quickly, losing, if left exposed, a
large proportion of • its nitrogena.s
ammonia., This fate, the Dominion
Chemist points out, emphasizes the.
desirability* of systematically and fre-
quently cleaning off the boards be-
neath the costs, a ,plan that also con
duces to the general good health and
tkirift of the fowl. In summer, the
tisanure, previously mixed with loam
to destroy stividness and facilitate,
distribution, nraay be applied directly'
to the land and worked. with the sur-
face soil—its :best preservative. In
winter (aiid at -other seasons wlxee
the manure cannot be used directly)
it shoxdd be mixed with a fair pro -
onion of loanx, :dried peat, muck
sawdust, together with a little land
plaster or superphosphate to fax the:
ttogen. It should then be packed,

HISTORY OF TURNIPS
AND MANGELS
The v
or f
C
TI
x hr t
o field roots, as cer-
tain vegetable crops are called in
Canadian ,agriculture, is'a.n interest-
ing one. The manges appears to be
the oldest of our cultivated root
crops, says the Dominion Forage
Crop Diision. Although exact re-
cords are not available, the produc-
tion of the nangel can be traced back
as far as 2000 years before the Chris-
tian era- The evidence of its produc-
tion at that date is contained an an
old plate found in an Egyptian grave:
The plate represents a laborer plac-
ing a large root ona table of sacri-
fice. According to Theophrastus, the
Greek philosopher, red and 'white
roots were cnmmanly cultivated in
Asia Minor:in.320 B.C. Both mangels
and beets .are supposed to be des-
cended from the beach beet which is
found grow*iug wild near the Caspian
sea, along the shares of the Mediter-
ranean, and in Spain, France, Hol-
laud,Great Britain and Denmark.
The origin of the turnip is not de-
finiteIy known. Pliny, the Roman au-
thor and naturalist, when writingof
the cultivation of field roots among
the Romans at the begainning of the
Christian era, says that next to grap-
es and cereals, the turnip was Italy's
most cultivated plant, It is also
known that the 'turnip was grown in
Sweden in prehistoric times during
the Bronze age. The turnip was
brought to . Canada at a very early
date. In 1540 Cartier sowed turnip.
seed during his voyage ,of discovery
and in 17 79 it is recorded that Gen-
eral Sullivan, when invading the In-
dian country, destroyed the turnips in
the Indian fields were Getieva, New
York State, now stands.
The swede turnip or rutabaga is
grown at thepresent time practically,
all over the world, and is coneldereCl.:,
to be a descendant of rape. The ruta-
bagas of Our gardens inelude two

HOW HOG CHOLERA IS
SPREAD
Through the efficiency of the Do-
minion and Provincial Departments
of Agriculture and the co-operative
keenness of the ' farming community,
Canada is well protected against the
introduction of serious contagious
diseases: At the same time, in view
of the extensive outbreaks of hog
cholera : south of the international
line, it is not out of place to remem-
ber that the cause ,of' the disease is
a germ, and that without the presen-
ce of the germ there can be na dis-
ease. The spreadread ofthe disease oc-
curs
whenever the germs from a dis-
eased hog gains access to a healthy
one and this takes place in many dif-
ferent ways—by actual contact, by in-
fectious matter throughout 'the pen,
pasture or railway car in which the
hog is going to market, by the feet,
of men, animals or birds, and wond-
ering dogs. Curious neighbours
wishing to see what hog cholera is
like, may easily take the infection
home to their own hogs on their
boots. Domestic pigeons may feed
in an infected pen and flyto some
neighboring ;farm carrying the infec-
tion . on their feet, and a stream : of.
water flowing through an infected
pasture may spread the infection
from! far tq farm. Feeding raw gar-
bage, which is prohibited in Canada
may also be responsible for infection.
