Mixture of Fear, Doubt and Expect- ancy Proves Unnerving off Many, The following interesting article, giving the psychological study of a battle, was written by a German school teacher, who since has been killed on the west front. The article, Which appears in the German papers, has caused considerable comment: "To describe the sensations, the emotions and the innermost feelings of the soul of a soldier in battle is an unusually interesting but difficult task. While the battle is raging a soldier is beset and agitated by thou- sands of thoughts that flash like light- ning through his brain, but it is only during the remarlable calm that comes after a battle that he is en- abled to analyse them. As I have rarticipated in thirty-six engagements and battles, both on the eastern and western fronts, I have been in a position to make many observations awl have made a study of the soul of the. soldier. It is a great subject for the psychologist and one that, opens a mine of valuable, information. "as This Real?" "The troops receive orders at night to prepare for a charge the next morning. The first thought is, Is this real? Somehow, it seems like a dream. It is the same thought that stirs the soul in any great event in life. be it one of joy or one of sorrow. 1. does nab seem real.

It should be the aim of every grower to produce large yields of 'uni- form potatoes free from disease and of high table quality. Varieties of po- tatoes differ greatly not only in yield per acre but also in freedom from rot and in cooking qualities. For instance, in the -trying season of 1915 the varie- ties of potatoes grown under uniform conditions at the Ontario Agricultural College varied in yield per acre from 13 to 366 bushels, .in amount of rot from less .than 1 to over 70 per -cent,, and in table quality from 36 to 83 per cent., out of a maximum of 100 points. Some kinds are found to be very sus- ceptible to rot and others to be almost immune. The table quality of pota- toes varies far more than many peo- ple eo ple realize when meatiness; flavor and appearance of different varieties are taken into consideration and are carefully determined. In each of four years an experiment has been conducted at the Agricul- tural College in testing under similar conditions potatoes obtained from dif- ferent sources. For instance, eighteen lots of Empire States potatoes were secured from eight different sources, five in the Province of New Brunswick and three in Ontario. Seed potatoes grown about one hundred and forty miles north of Guelph, in Muskoka district, near the Muskoka Lakes, have case of Mrs. Roderick McDonald, an estimable resident of this place. Mrs. McDonald suffered from diabetes for two years, and found her first relief in Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I am' sure I wouldbe in my grave to -day but for Dodd's Kidney Pills," Mrs. McDonald states. "The doctor attended me for five months for dia- betes, but I was worse when I stopped taking his medicine than when I start- ed, I could not get a wink of sleep. "As soon as I started taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I fell •in a solid sleep for one hour, and soon I got so that I could sleep fine. "Dodd's Kidney Pills have done so much for me that I feel like recom- mending them to everybody." Mrs. McDonald states that her ear- lier symptoms were shortness • of breath, dizziness, backache and a bit- ter taste in her mouth in the morn- ing. All these are symptoms. of kid- ney trouble—danger signals that no one can afford to neglect. Had she heeded them and taken Dodd's Kidney Pills she would have saved herself months of pain and anxiety. • DRAINAGE FOR WETNESS AND ••lloevever, when the soldier does 1 DROUGHT. realize that it -is no nightmare, he brein; to _think of the likelihood of How shall we obtain the most satis [teeth claiming :hint in that battle.

On the same terms as those for surveys the college will send a man to give you a start on the installation of your drains if you have had. no pre- vious experience. He will show you how to set grade stakes, grade the ditch bottom, make the junctions of niain and lateral, lay the tile, and assist you in any way required. If you contemplate draining during 1916 or are planning for 1917 and need assistance, write to the Depart- ment of Physics, O: A. College, Guelph, or your District Agricultural Office, state your difficulties, and request as- sistance, extent of the area drained, and the fall or grade given the tile. If you are uncertain about these send you a drainage surveyor who will, if necessary, prepare a map of your farm, showing the location of your drains, the size of tile to use, and the grades and depths of the drains. The cost to you for these services will be the travelling expenses of the surveyor, and as several surveys are made on one trip the charge is seldom over three dollars for each survey.

All fear has vanished, and we are ready to go down to the gates of death unafraid. . "And then the battle. The bullets began to whistle. In those first mo- nrents every soldier naturally looks for some sheltered place for protec- tion, Nevertheless, the soul is re- ' rearkably calm. Though . comr,ades are falling on'all sides, we never for a moment think of being hit by a bullet ourselves. 'We keep on run- ping, running toward the enemy. All feeling, all thought, all emotion, all sensation is obliterated. In all the crash and thunder of artillery we go (ill fearing nothing. Occasionally we hear a voice uttering a curse or a threat, due to the hate against the enemy, born anew in the thick of bat- tle. That. feeling of hate becomes up- permost. We are seized with a frenzy of rage,' and our one thought is to meet the enemy face to face and an- nihilate him. As this hate is min- gled with a certain feeling of pa- triatism and lore for the Fatherland, the last of battle is developed in such a manner as to quiet our nerves and forget all aibout danger and death. "The. battle has been fought and note, The soul experiences an indes- cribable peace, but when we begin to see our broken ranks and make count of our fallen comrades, painful sen - cations follow. Then only do we real- ize what danger we so callously faced, and a wave of thoughtfulness warms oar blood and body. "The feelings and sensations on emerging from the battle are like those of convalescence from a serious illness. The tired soul longs for peace and rest, and the soldier falls into a deep, sound, dreamless sleep, in which all the fear and stress'and storm of the time are forgotten." Woven will never be paid as much for lecturing as men, because they do too much of it for nothing.

Seed potatoes grown in a cool, moist climate which prevents ma- turity are often superior to those which have ripened in a hot, dry cli- mate. Immature seed potatoes are usually inferior for table use, but furnish excellent seed. Potatoes grown in Ontario- in a comparatively cold, wet season like that of 1915 are likely to be of good quality' for plant- ing providing they are free from dis- ease. Tubers showing discoloration or signs of rot on the outer surface or when cut should not be used for planting. There are far too many varieties of potatoes grown on the farms of Ontario. This is one of the greatest weaknesses in the potato industry of the Province. It is a defect- that should be remedied as soon as pos- sible. If Ontario would confine her- to learn something about it by read - self to a few of the best varieties of g potatoes the annual crop would be in- ing the experiences of others. creased in yield, in quality, and in Drinking Postum is a pleasant way commercial value. There are over one thousand named varieties of potatoes in North Ann - erica, and fully four hundred have been grown under experinnent at the Ontario Agricultural College. ' Many of these are quite inferior, even on soil of a heavier nature. It is often an advantage to expose whole seed potatoes in a subdued light in a warm rooni about three weeks before planting. Especially is this true if the potatoes are to be grown for early use. The production of short, thick, green sprouts before planting helps to hasten the growth and increase the yield. C. A. ZAVITZ.
