(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture Toronto.) 1 N a day's visit among the farmer' of Ontario in almost every; county you would run acre quite a number of stables equip- ped with some form or other of water system for supplying the farm Otock more or less automatically with water each day. With few exceptions Beerynew barn built now is pro- vided with a water system. Among the available systems are the follow- ! Ing, which, in this short article, can )teceive only a very brief description: Of these probably the most com- mon is that consisting of a water sup- ply tank in the hay or straw loft above the0. stable, from which the water runsbygravity into a regulat- ing tank on the stable floor, which supplies the individual drinking basins with water automatically. The tank Is usually built of concrete and the size .depends upon the ,kind of Dowd- used`for pumping; if windmill be used then the tank needs to be large enough for three or four days' supply as the wind does not blow 'every day. Under these conditions a tank 10 x 4 x 4 feet, or its equiva- lent would be required for a0 head of stock. Sometimes the concrete tank is built just outside the stable !wail and underground enough to pro- tect it again frost, or in one corner of the stable, elevatea enough off the floor to .feed the regulating tank .by gravity. 'In case pumping is done illy gasoline engine and a smaller tank is sufficient, a metal one is sus - ;vended from ceiling of stable. In levery case an overflow is necessary. 'Many provide means for collecting the rain water off the barn and run- ning it into the storage tank so that in wet weather very little pumpinges required, especially where a large *tank is used. Another raethod of filling the storage tank is by the hydraulic ram installed at the spring. Still another is by means of a one - inch pipe leading from a spring or other source at an elevation at least as high as the storage tank. Some - Eimes where hydraulie ram or gray- ty system is in use the storage tank dispensed with, the water, tp the ,case of the former, running through the drinking basins or trough all the .time and escaping to a good outlet or drain, in the latter the water is - 'piped directly to ehe'regulating tank :which in turn supplies the basins or 1.rough automatically. Again the ;Water is pumped directly to tank in the attic of the house, and the over- flow from it supplies the stable with water. And since the advent of the compression water system we find a few cases where it is used to supply the stables as well as the house,. the, installation being proportionately larger than it would be for the house alone. Probably no one system, how- ever, can be absolutely recommended as best for every case as the cir- cumstances pertaining to the source of supply, amount of water used, position and elevation of the farm buildings, etc., always have to be carefully considered in planning the ideal water system for the farm house or stable.—R.

Raising Pork Is a Profitable Sidellne on the Dairy Farm — Expert Advises One Brood Sow for Each Ten Cows on A.verage Farm. (Contributed by Ontario Department et Agriculture. Toronto.) BLACKLEG of potatoes is a dis- ease that has been causing heavy losses to potato grow- er. , ers in many districts during ihe past -few years. As the na e of the disease implieS, there is*a black- ening of the lower parts of stems of the -potato `plant affected. . Accom- panying the discoloration there is a Sot t rotting condition followed by shrinkage and death. The disease is usually first noticed In the young growing crop when thet plants are trona four inches to a foot high. In looking over a field in wbich the disease is present, it will . be seen that the tops of certain plants have lost their bright dark green appearance, having faded to a more er ie...,-; flirty yellowish or brownish t‘olor. These tops will be somewhat limp and drooping, and in some cases where the disease is well advanced wal have drepped right aver. If a eareful examination of the lower eteines ot these affect ed plants ie made it will be seen that they are black- ened and soft rotting. This black- ening and soft ratting is more ,iotieen.ble below the soil than above it. By carefully removing the soil from around an affected plant the blackening and sof arotting can us, unity be traced to the seed tuber. As a rule in such cases the seed tuber ' will be found to be in a soft-rottinn, slimy condition, the soil immediately beneath, it being in a wet, puddied itoadttion dee to the wetness from the safterottedi need tuber. In sueh cases the disease 1.0 the plant has developed from an &tooted seed tuber and pass- ed up the young growing stems, caus- ing them to discolor and rot and eventuallyito fall over dead or dying. Sometime all the stems in a hill will be affected and the whole plant the 71. ou 1 - down. Sonietinlea, -ovrever, only a few of the stems will be affected and. the remainder wlU appear to deVelop normally. if the"season Is a dry one number of tubers may be produced on ouch plants whichmay mature and appear alright at harvest, but if the season is a wet one the diffease will spread to the tubers and cause them to rot in a soft, slimy conaition before harvest, or if they are har- vested before the rot is very notice- able in them, they are liable to rot in storage or to carry the disease over to•the next seascm. It is tubers from such affected plants which are mostly responsible' for carrying the disease over from season to season and spreading it from district to district. Such tubers, if used for seed purposes, will give a considerable percentage of black- leg -affected plants. Consequently, the greatest care lihould be taken In the selection of Seed tubers. If &illy indication of rot, either wet or drya is found on a tuber, or any brown discoloration of the potato timid when cut into, it should be discarded and not used for seed purposes. Though spraying with Bordeaux Mixture will help to control fungus diseases, such as late and early blight of potatoes, it hi of no use in controlling blacking. Blackleg is a bacterial disease that gets into the plant either from an affected seed tuber or from the doll. It works from below upward. and by the time it gets much above the ground it will usually have killed the plant. Con- seqpently, spraying the tops of po- tatoes will not prevent the disease. To prevent the diseaseedeveloping, plant only sound, healthy, well -select- ed seed and do not plant on land that has produced blackleg plants the previous season.—Prof. la H. Jones; O. A. College, Guelph. With Evire at Lambing Time. The two main !actors contributing to a satisfactory Iamb crop are the proper feedinF and care of the sheep during • the sir months 'previous to lambing time gether with care and detailed attention given to the flock during the lambing period. Plenty of exercise coupled with a sufficient amount of the right kiln' of feed to maintain the flock in god thriving condition will usually result .in the birth • of active, rugged lambs for which the mother will have a liberal supply of Milk. In practically every flock, no matter how well cared for, the attendant must be on hand fre- quently, day and night, during the period the lambs are arriving. A little attention atthe proper time will often result in the saving of mot a few lambs. Absolute dryness and freedom from draught are ,.very essential fon the flock, and when the lambs are expected in March or even early April provisien should be made for reason- able Protection from the cold. Wool balls in the stomach is often the cause of much loss- in young lambs. This trouble as well as diffi- culty in getting the lambs to nurse may be avoided by clipping away all loose and dirty wool from around the udder and quarters of the -ewes. Provision should be made for a few small pens 'located along the warmest side of the building. The ewe te Iamb is much safer separated from the main flock and in caaes of. difficult parturition, .weak lambs, ewes niiowning their lambs and numerous other difficulties that may arise they can be looked after a greet deal more satisfactorily when confined in small enclosures. It not infrequently happens .that a ewe has difficulty in delivering her lamb; this is more common in the case of young ewes with their first lamb. When the Iamb has come forward far enough so that the nose and front feet are in sight and the head is un- able to pass through the ewe should be assisted by gentle pulling on the forefeet. If this fails smear the in- side of the vagina well with linseed oil, this has the effect of softening and allowing the opening- to stretch and will, unless' the case is a very severe one, give relief:" No action should be taken until it is reasonably certain some assistance is needed and before investigating the hands should , be perfectly clean and dis- infected. Lambs may be born weak and ap- parently lifeless, more particularly in case of difficult delivery. These may be revived by quick action on the part of the attendant. First remove the phlegifl from the mouth, then hold the mouth open and blow .gently a few times to -Start:, lung action. Next lay the lamb on its belly and gently _beat it on the sides next to the heart just back,of the ehoulder. —Prof. J. P. Sackville, 0. A. College, Gu cp)a Sotpasture Soiling Crops fel: Cows. .:1; Ontario dairy farmers depend o rn the c op for the feeding of cows during summer. If. the pas- ture Calls, there -is no remedy, the cows go dry, the creameries and ehe,eseriea suffer loss of patronage, the city milk plants are short of milk, and the whole dairy business ia more or less liandjeapped. The time has come when dairy faimers- should take out an insurance:policy in the form of a summer silo, filled with corn, from the previous year's crop Failing this, silage in the bottout of a Winter alio is good feed, but the surface exposed should be reduced one-half by cutting Vie silage down the centre with a hay -knife. If this is netavailable, the silage ip. one- half the silo may be dug down with a fork, but this leaves an irregular edge which causes excessive spoiling of the silage. Great care is needed in feeding summer silage, else 'there is danger of tainting the milk. The strong advantage of -silage for sup- plementing poor pasture, is th.e fact that a man can get feed out of a silo for a herd of cows in about one- half the time required to cht a soil- ing crop in a field and hail] tikas to the stable for the cows to eat. Some meal, or wheat bran, should be added to the silage for beet results: If silage is not available for feed- ing during the season of --'19, then, soiling props like crover, oats, peas and vetches, corn, etc., should be provided, so that the cows may not want for feed to make milk.—Prof. H.

It may be added that the floods that threatened almost. -as inuch damage as those of 1910, coming just after the armistice hardly supported our conviction of the influence of battles on rainfall. ' And nevertheless, it must also be recognized that in the first place., throughout history, frem the most ancient wars, people. have always be- lieved that abnormal rain followed great- battles, even before the inven- tion of artillery. Now it is not doubtful that rain has - been more abundant than usual during these four ears, of war.

During the last five month s of 1914 tile total rainfall ..around London exceeded an average of three inches.

The Indian Drum Continued from Page 7 • • Alan turned away, chill with dis- appointment. It was only, that then— Burr was a romancer after the manner of some old. seamen. He constructed for his own amusement these "lives." He was not only not the Burr of Corvet's list;. he was some one not any way connected with the Miwaka or with Corvet. Yet Alan, upon re- flection could not 'believe that it was this. Burr, if he had wished to do that, ,might perhaps me ely have simulated agitation when Ian ques- tioned him about the Miwa ; but why should he have wished to s ulate it? Alan could conceive a ni4cndition which by any possibility co ld have suggested such simulation 10 the old man. He ceased now, however, to question Burr since questioning either had, no result at all or led the old man to weaving. fictions; in response the old man became by degrees more commun- icative. He told Alan, at different times, a number of other "lives" which he claimed as his own. In only a few of these lives aad he been, by his ac - 'count, a seaman; he had been a mult- itude ofotherthings—in some a farm- er, in others a lumberjack or a fisher- man; he had been born, he told, in a hald-dozen different places and came of as many difarent sorts of people. On deck, one night, listening while old Burr related his sixth or seventh life, excitement suddenly seized Alan. Burr, in this life which he was telling, claimea to be an Englishman born in Liverpool. He had been, .he said, a seaman, in the British Navy; he had been present at the shelling of Alex- andria. latest., because of some difficul- ty which he glossed over, he had de- serted and had come to the States; he had been first a deckhand then the mate of a tramp schooner on the lakes. Alan'gazin.g at the old man, felt exultation leaping and. throbbing with- in him. He recognized this "life;" he knew in advance its incidents. This life which old Burr was rehearsing to him as hisown, was -the actual life of Munro Burkhalter, one of the men on Corvet's list regarding whom Alan had been able to obtain full information! Alan sped below, when he was re- lieved from watch, and got out the clippings left by Corvet and the notes of what he himself had learned in his visits to We homes of these people. His excitement grew greater as he pored over them; he found that he could account, with their aid, for all that old Burr had told him. Old Burr's "lives'", were not, of course, his; yet neither were they fictions. They— their incidents, at leaSt—were actual- ities. They were woven from the lives of those upon Corvet's list! Alan felt his skin prickling an4 the blood beat- ing fast in his temples. How • could Burr have known these incidents.? Who could he be to know them all? To what man, but one, could all of them be known? Was old Burr... Benjamin Corvet? Alan could give no certain answer to that question. He could not find any definite resemblance in Burr's placid face to, the picture of- Corvet which Constance had shown him. Yet, as regarded his age and his physical characteristics, there was nothing. to make his identity with Benjamin Gore ' vet impossible. Sherrill or ethers who had known Benjamin Corvet well, might be able to find resemblances which Alan could not. And, whether Barr was or was not Corvet, he was uadeniablYsome one to whom the particulars of Garvet's life were known Alan telegraphed that day to Sher- rill; but when the message had gone doubt s-eized him.
