Upon the care mid management of the growing pullets, from the time that they leave the brooder house until, they ate it into laying quarters for the winter, will depend very largely their capacity for eaelp winter egg production, and the 'consequent profit which can be realized from them, Each autumn, altogether too many underde- veloped 'pullets ere put into winter quarters, wieh the reault thee they never develop thoroughly, and in eau - sequence never make goad winter layer, The three eseentials to proper care of the pullets at this stage are good range and shade, a well balanced: re - don, and oomforbable housing. It is impossible to place too much emphasis upon the necessity of, free range for growing pullets, ler withaut this the probability oe their matuaiog before weather tonditions make it necessary to put them into winter quarters, is very small. ideal range is to he fatted, in an orchard, aed, more espeotaely when it has been 'seeded dawn with alfalfa, clover, Or back - wheat. Failing this, however, almost any dry, well drained 1ari7d may be utilized for this purpose, hut theenore growing green feed and shade that are available, the better. In the event of there being no shade whatever, arti- ficial shade nmst he provided; either means a civa Qr salts, or by putting up shelterof branches. If the quantity -of growing green feed is lim- ited, cut green feecl must be supplied in large quantities, as this is a MOSt economical feed for growing pullets. On farms where teener sunflowers are grown for ensilage, it is an excellent plan bo turn the pullets into it as soon as it is grown sufficienbly to provide shelter. The backyard poultryman who raises only a lirruted number of pullets% can profitably plant a small patch ef Jerusalem artichokes, or sow' either eore or sunflowers in the yard, arid by se doing will provide not only shade for his young stack, but also a valuable seerce of green feed. Like all groeving stook, pullets con- sume large quantities of food, and in feeding them, 'nutritive value, palat- ability, and etonceny must be consider- ed. From the age of two months, until they go into winter quarters, dry mash in eele-feeding hoppers should be ,kept before them toe:sten-ay. This Inaar should consist of equal emits by weight of torreneal, bean, shorts, ground oats, and beef scrap, Better result:3 -will be obtained if in addition to tbis thy mash, a. semi -wet mash tonsisting largely ef thopped green feed be given twice aday, even when plenty of gra-w- ilier green feed is available. The chop- ped green feed for this mash may con-. met et mangel tope, alfalfa, tlover, eabbage leaves, torn tope, sunflower tops, ete. Two parts by weight of this green feed ,should be Inbred with ane part of dry rea,sh (composed ef torn - meal, buelewhe.et meal, and barley meal in 'equal quantities), and the whole well mixed with half a part of .milk, and fed in troaghs. If tizzy one of the three ingredients of this dry mash is not available, it may be replaced by the dry mash used in -the hoppers. In addition to the above mentioned feed, a hopper of goad mared grain and a. plentiful supply of milk, if pos- sible, should he kept constantly before eet life the tleee that s to the lake with rn agaiu ode Renton- ptivilege to be the pullete, foe too often they suffer from underfeeding-, the breeder assum- ing that they will get all the grein necessary in the fields tvr on range. A very common error is that oe leav- ling the growing pullets in the same quartere as the 'hens. A portable eel- ; ony hose on skids can be made very i inexpensively, and this should be I placed well away from the poultry I house for the summer months. It should be dry, well ventilated, free teem derieights and provide'd with !roosts, and sbould ;be thoroughly disin- fected two or three times each season. It is absolutely imperative Met, the pullets should not be overcrowded in ' their millinier quarters, Tor this will seriously affect their development. De- tails reef arding a colony house whicb eau be used either as a brooder house for the young chicks, a eolony SOT growing stock, or a laying house for twenty-five hens,, can be obtained from the Ppaltry Division, Experhnenbal Farm, Ottawa. As stated at 'the cartset, given good parent stock, good shady ranee, a well balanced ration and cbnifortable hous- ing will assure well developed'pullets, which vrill lay early in the winter when egg production is most profitable. Tip Burn of Potatoes. This disease is first seen on potato •plants about the latter part of July, with the most Severe effects from the middle .of August to the first week in September. The leaves exhibit a burn - at their tips and margins, later the whole top withers and the plant dies prematurely. This condition is mese notalele in hot, dry, windy wea- ther and particularly timing periods of dry and aunny weather following, rain. With regard to the tame of this dis- ease, there is muth difference of opin- ion, and several agencies have been suggested as responsible for the beam- ing of the leaves. The effect of es.-- cessive evaparation of water from the eurfaee of leaves in extreme heat and sunshine, with the consequent death of ,certain tells in the leaf, has been suggested as the cause of tip burn. Other authetities &aim to have defin- itely demonstrated that the potato leaf hopper is the cause of tip burn; thins the name "hopper burn," which is also applied: to this disease. More recent investigators associate the leaf hopper -with the disease, but claim that there is sOMe "specific," either toeing or extraneous, which- is transmitted by the leaf hopper and is the direct tause of the burning' on the potato leaves. This was shoWie by the fact that tip burn could he produced by inoculating macerated leaf • hoppers into potato leavee. The regular Bordemix mixtuee spray has been found to be beneficial in the eontrol of this disease. Those believ- ing in extreme heat and sunshine as the priecipal teasel egency, aasociate this control with the layer of Bor- deaux mixture en the leaf acting as a protection from severe evaporation. Others claim that it destroys the hop- pers and again the spray is also eup- posed to act as a deterrent for hop- per -4. In any case the Bordeaux mixture has been deetionstrated as ,capable of arresting the development of the burn- ing and this is but further proof of the importance of careful and system - atic „spraying a potato plants.

There are some varieties of garden truck whieh mu-st have the entire sea- son in which to Mature. These will net be ready for use until autumn, but the early planted, early maturing garden track, or those which are fit for use before their maturity are now. ready for use and will soon be gone, It is now time to plant more of these for fall and winter use, Winter eabbage plants should, be set eut during the first part of July. If you have not grown your . own plante, be sure and purchitee Plants of the winter variety, as the keeping qualities of earlier strains are not good. String beans, peas, beets and sweet corn are all fit for table use before they reach Mei): matueity. A planting of these now will insure a good supply for table use in the fall. Probably there is more Golden Bantam sweet corn seed used for July plantings than any other kind. There are sev- eral varieties of string beans which may be planted as late air July, as nearly all kinds are fit for use in eix or seven weeks from dtate af planting. Beets, too, wile be fit for nee in about the same length of time as the string beans, therefore Mere are many var- ieties ef them which may be sown in July, but many gardeners believe the long and haifelong kinds to be the best to sow for fall and winter use. These varieties may be sown even as late as the very last of Suly or first of August • Don't forget a patch of turnips. They are good as fertilizers, good fox the stock and nice for the table, With the exception of one or two of the very early sorts, 'almost any variety will do when sown in July. In July, toe, should be sown the winter radish. This, as its name im- plies, is the =dishwhich keeps for winter use. There are a number of varieties ef these and they may be had in three eolors—rose color, white and black. Sevise chalet, kale, kohlrabi, cern salad, endive and parsley are some of the other things we may plant in July in our garden. These are perhaps not as commonly grown as some of the other things in oue garden, but you will want them again, once you be - emcee acquainted: with them. Swiss hard and kale are used as greens while young and tender. Later the midribs of the Svriss chard are cooked like asparagus or made into pickles. Corn alad, endive and parsley are used in sale& and in garnishing dish- es. Parsley is also often used in soups. Kohlrabi must be used While young and tender. Later the bulbs become tough and woody. These bulbs, while yourig and tender, are sliced and cooked like turnipe and are very appetizing. • Braekville, Ont.—A new Canadian record for mature tows was made by Queen Beulah, a Holstein cow, owned by Dr. H.

The land on which rODIS are to be grown should be free from exceseive moisture and should be in a good State of fertility, For this reason, it is best be fellow a 'clover croei. Two methods et preparing lad for lead erops have 'been followed at the Ex- perimental Farm, leappan, NS". The cue that bee given the best results is to top -dress with earn -yard manure On the clover aftermath at the rate of 15 tons per acre on a, theee-Year rotation, Plow the elover-inath under with the mareuee to a depth of from four to five inehea Top work with double cat -away 'disc -harrow the re- mainder of tbe season. In the spring, as soon as the land is fit to work, giye it one cut with the cut -away harrow to loesen the sail, then cross -plow and -follow agaim with the cut -away two or three times or until satiseed that the manure is thoroughly mixed with the aail and that a good seed bed is prepared. Put the smoothing harrow over 'once to level the laed and make it easier for drilling. The second method is similar to the -erst except in the time of applying the manure and is used when manure • is not 'available in early autumn. Pro- ceed with the preparation a the soil as directed in the first method and ap- ply the manure either during the vein - ter or the early spring if the fields, are level. If the fields are sloping or the soil is of a gravelly, open or porous nature do not apply the manure in the early fall or winter, but just before 'cross -plowing in the spring, otherwise part of its value may leach away. ' In the first method the big advan- tage is that the manure is applied previous to the rush of work in the spring. Furtb arm ore, it is &carper - ated with -Me soil more thoroughly than in the -second method and is worked up toward the surface in the • spring instead af being worked down, as is the- case in the second method. As root crops, such as turnips, swedes and potatoes, -are shallow feeders, this is an advantage, as the plant food is more available for the crop. In the ease of manges it is not so essential that the manure be near the surface, as they are deep feeders. In preparing land for root erops it is necessary to keep in mind the re- quirements ,of the crap being sown as well as the requirements a the toil on Which the crop is being so-wn. Roots, turnips and swedes are able to eupply themselves with potash when grown on fertile soil, :hat they cannot appropriate the- combined phosphoric acid. of the soil. Therefore, on ex- hausted soil's the use of phosphoric manure is essential in order to get a fuli trop; superphosphate or ebasic slag is recommended -and ehould,be ap- plied at the rate of three hundred to four hundred pounds of •supeaiphos- phate or five hunclred, to six hundred pounds of basic slag per acre, the amount depending upon the fertility of the soil. Mangels, on the other hand, have a greater capaeity for drawing food from the soil, including nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid, consequently, an application of ni- trate ef soda, say two hundred pounds to the sere, in addition to the barn- yard manure, will, generally epeaking, give a full crap• , To insure a maximum root crop fol- low elover; till the seil theeoughly to intorporate the Manure well with the soil; give a light application of ni- trate af soda, superphosphate or .basic slag; cultivate well during the season to conserve the moisture and to pre- vent growth of weeds.—W.-W.

There is at least one reason for this. These subetitute products are brought to the attention of the public in en attractive manner. The sanitary -con- ditions under which they are manu- factured are emphasized. The neat package in which they are sold is visualized on billboards and the print- ed page. The best artists ere employ- ed to bring together every device of form and colee M order to make bhe publie believe that here is a class of products that shouldbe in every res- peetable home. While the dairymen has the advan- tage of the scientiet's testimony, he has failed to uee this testimony in making his appeal to threw wile buy the product.
