Reinforced 'Concrete is Preferable ta Timber —.-1[t Mateo the Gr'sary heifer From Redont/ — Rogaine Potatoes. 4Coatrlbuted by Oetart.) Departmeat es Agriculture. Toronto.) No hard and fast rules can be laid down for the erection of a convenient and efficient granary. Each problem' require' a knowledge of local condi- tions anti requirements. Granaries, 10 the majority of cases, are built -In enclosures on the barn door, and constructed with too little regard for strength. durability and convenience - These structures ebouid be located Immediately over the feed room, each bin having a chute with a controlling slide, or a canvas dlatrlbutor to con- vey the grain to the hopper of the grinder; or, 1t the grain fa Intended for market, to a sack placed on Athe nettles below the chute ready to re- ceive it. To facilitate emptying the cram. the floor of the bins should be eloping. fie Sure the Structure Has Sufficient strength. The important consideration In the construction of granaries and bine tar loose grain is to be sure that the structure is designed with sufficient strength to prevent bulg- ing of the sides and springing of the door; for grain, owlrig to its enor- mous outward thrust, corresponding somewhat to that of water,. has a tendency to burst the sides unless well braced or supported. Timber construction requires frequent re- pairs to prevent decay and general depreciation from use. It is always liable to climatic conditions. The boards will crack and shrink in the summer when the bins may be empty, and when the new grain is dumped into the bins an enormous quantity promptly disappears into the cracks and crevices and through mice holes, entailing considerable loss to the farmer, to the consumer and to the nation. Thousands of bushels of grain are, in this way, an- nually lost to the producers through* sheer Indifference to the condition of the granary. Yet this profitable waste may be easily remedied and made secure by lining the bins with sheet metal. Good Concrete Improves Wltb Age. While there is an annual depre- ciation on a timber structure varying from four to eight per cent., concrete eonstructlon grows better as it grows old; hence concrete properly re- inforced, is the ideal material for granarlea, because it is both damp- proof and rat -proof, two very essen- tial factors In the construction of granaries. Concrete properly made to suit existing conditions, is absolutely Im- previous to moisture, and can be kept as dry as any structure of wood ever built. The' experience of many farm- ers Is that grain mature enough to be ,placed in storage will not spoil on contact with 'concrete, nor will corn mold, provided there. is good ventilation and the roof is tight. To get rid of rats and mice destroy their nesting place and to this end con- crete is pre-eminently the best ma- terial and is recommended for all farm structures. Reinforced Concrete Pays. Under average. present day, c n- ditions a reinforced concrete gran- ary may represent an additional out- lay of about 25 per cent over that required to construct of timber, but the high efficiency distinctive of con- crete quickly offsets this increased initial cost. Concrete construction has many, in short, important advan- tages. The contents are safe from the depredations of rodents, is damp- proof, requires neither paint nor re- pairs, Is fireproof, the grain is per- fectly preserved under all conditions of climate and temperature, and the resulting structure Is practically everlasting.—John Evans, 0. A. Col- lege, Guelph. Roguing Potatoes. The average yield of potatoes per acre in the Province of Ontario for the past thirty-six years has been about one hundred and fifteen bushels. The yields vary greatly. In 1917 there were variations to On- tario from twenty-five or less up to seven hundred bushels per acre. People are realizing more and more that for high yields of potatoes con- ditions must be favorable... It is im- portant to have good fertile soil well cultivated and to ¢!ant a liberal supply of seed of the best varieties at the proper time. Seed potatoes somewhat immature which have been produced in a cool climate, and which are comparatively free from disease, are apt to furnish seed of high quality. Even under these con- ditions it Is well to carefully inspect the seed before planting and to thor- oughly rogue the growing crop. A potato field Is rogued by re- moving the undesirable planta. A thorough roguing of the growing crop once or twice during the sum. mer is one of the most effectual ways in ridding the field of a number of the potato diseases. This operation would also Insure the immediate re- moval of the weak and unthrifty plants which are sure to produce un- deatrable seed. Potato growers some- times go through their fields and re- move all plants which are not true to type. When roguing Is done with a double object of eradicating dis- eases and of purifying the variety decided advantages are cure to fol- low. Thorough roguing is one of the beet methods of securing pure, healthy seed of .high quality.— Dr. C. A. Zavltz, 0. A. College, Guelph. If troubled with mustard in grain crops, spray with a 20 per cent. solu- tion of iron sulphate (two pounds of iron sulphate' to each gallon of water.)

Front twelve to sixteen years, when healthy childreu should gain six to ten pounds a year. they may gain only two or three pounds. To grow in height and gain regu- larly in weight is just as much a sign of health In a boy or girl of nine or ten as in a baby. W' itever the age uf the young individea:, the rause or causes of malnutrition are not ordinarily difficult to discover. It may be that the child does not grt enough food; that he does not get the right kind of food; that he spoils his appetite with candy or pastry; that he eats irregularly be- tween meals; that he bolts his food; that ,he drinks tea and coffee instead if milk and water; that he does not get enough sleep; that he plays too hard; that he gets too much emo- tional excitement; that he is over- worked in school or out; that his teeth are decayed or his throat in need of attention. A diet composed only of meat, potatoes, bread and cereals daps not promise the best growth and develop- ment of children. Such a diet should be supplemented by an abun- dance of milk, butter and green, leafy vegetables. These are rich in growth -stimulating "vitamines." A boy from five to eight years old should gain six ounces per month. From eight to twelve years eight ounces per month. From twelve to sixteen years he should gain sixteen ounces monthly. A girl should gain six ounces monthly from five to eight years, eight ounces a month from eight to eleven years, twelve ounces from eta en to fourteen years, and eight ounces from fourteen to sixteen years. Stainless Spoons. The housewife may now. for the first time, buy stainless and rust- proof spoons and forks. They are made of chrome steel and are rather expensive, but have the advantage of needing no polishing. Not long ago it was discovered that ordinary carbon steel could be rendered proof against oxidation and also against acids by introducing in- to it c 13.per cent. rit. oP chromium. The idea of utilizing it for cutlery was obvious enough, but the first efforts made to that direction met with ser- ious obstacles. Eventually, however, they were solved, and so-called "stainless" table knives have already become familiar. The chrome steel is. extremely hard and cannot be forged by hand in the time-honored fashion known to cutlers. It must be hammered out with a power hammer. Its rustproof quality makes it available for many uses, and it is now cast Into stair rods, fire ions, stove grates' and other articles for the household. Automobile parts are being made of the same material. The problem of producing satis- factory spoons and forks of chrome steel did not find a solution until very recently. It is claimed for them that they are far better than electro -plate, being machine -polished and retaining their gloss indefinitely without cleaning with anything more than soap and water. An Eccentric Scientist. The eccentricities of scientists are like those of artists, says Dr. Charles F. Balduan, of the United States pub- lic health service. There is, for in- stance, the classic example of Dr. Elle Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur In- stitute, who became famous for the discovery of the so-called bacillus of long life, the microbe ..which makes buttermilk sour. • The doctor was, quite naturally, very particular about germs. One day he was eating grapes and he was so careful that he washed each grape separately in his water glass. Then he drank the water in which he bad washed them. Dancing is suggested as a compul- sory study at West Point, the mili- tary academy of the United States. Boatel ' Brisinl, Bai)autyneh Ben. nett, Belleyf To B or not to BI— Ottawa Journal.

Dear Expositor: I will again, with your permission, 'mention sort* of the things good, bad and indifferdrtt, which have been tak- ing place in this great city during the last fortnight. The most import- ant has been the gathering of Odd - fellows, the thre, link emblem being visible everywhere. Wednesday was the day in whiriu their big parade took place. It tusk two hours to pass a certain point, :,rid including autos, was five miles :0 length and hail upwards of thirty hands. The band which I think ar otsed the most ten- der emotions wa from an orphans' home in Illinois, four girls and four boys, all under s.xteen years of age. The dear little orphans were well trained in music, and our Canadian Maple Leaf appeared to be their fav- orite selection. A contingent from Ohio, with a foie brass band and members who numbered upward of a hundred marched in single file with waving plumes and beautiful decora- tions, each man carrying a little sword. The contingents of Rebekahs were beautiful and inspiring. • For the benefit of your readers some of whom may not be conversant, I might say that the Rebekahs are ,the feminine clement in the order. Oddfellows from Halifax to Vancouver in Can- ada, and from Maine to California in the States were in evidence, Michigan sending six hundred. The morning papers gave the numbers in the par- ade as over 30,000, but the evening Telegram, whose representative used an adding machine, gave the numbers as slightly under 10,000. At all events it was a great parade and well worth seeing. I will now give your readers some- thing not so joyous as the foregoin- ing. Im one of the Italian settle- ments on Sunday evening last, a fel- low tried to enter a neighbor's home in a disorderly manner. The neigh- bor resented, when the intruder drew a razor and slashed the other about the face and arms. Another Italian rushed to the help of the injured man and he was also slashed with the razor, the litigator vein . narrowly escaping. The one who was first at- tacked then rushed to his room with the blood streaming from many wounds, and emerged with a gun and fired at the bad man, putting a ball into him about an inch above his heart. The three are inh t e hos- pital all still living but the rowdy with the razor is in the most serious condition. A bright little Chinese girl, who gained honors at the York Street school, was envied by a Canadian who kept calling her a Chink. Finally the little China girl got tired of it and said she, Ruby, if you keep call- ing me a Chink I will call you a Canwck. The people here voted to take the street railway from R. J. Fleming and Company, and make it a_public ownership concern. This was done on the first of September and the fares were increaaed fully fifty per cent, and there is a mol'bitude who growl like a bear with a sore head in consequence, and are mad enough to kick themselves 'because they did not leave things as they were. As your readers know am election is impending, And it is said Meighen, King and Crerar will each hold a meeting here before election day. I•t would be foolish for any one to pre- dict what the result will be, but I think it is perfectly safe to say that neither one of the three parties will eleot half the members. I have sometimes wondered how the old friends around Walton and what once Was Leadbury pulled out through the hot summer, and with the prospect of a severe winter to face. With their permission I , will name a few of the old standbys who have helped to make Western On- tario what it is; John Dundee, James Martin, William McGavin, Sr., J. G. Grieve, Alex.

Up to this time there has been notch reserve--ytl-\, most aa if Britain were not abep'lute- ly certain that the great tradegy had ended. The late.' lifting of the ban shows secret details 'of the great mymtery pont, one of the moat important of all British war enterprises,'but so care- fully concealed, event from English- men, that thousands living within -a few miles were ignorant of the porta real character until' long after .the ar.miatice,and many actually- - a -jdent in the city, which sprang up by magic, where a marsh had been about it, did not have the least idea as to the im- portance to the war of the community in which they lived. - This port is Riohborough on the Kentish coast, between Sandwich and Ramsgate. The Stour river was diverted and immense docks builtpne of thorn being not Jess .than 2,200 feet long, abutting on a splendid basin. At this and other docks immense steel barges were loaded for the trip across channel to the French ports of debark- ation anal on these barges and the manifold other craft constructed in the great yards, bought of command- eered for this war service, nearly all the British artillery and supplies were carried. Much has been said about the super- iority of German porta over Liverpool and Southampton in the way of dock and other machine facilities. No Ger- man port ever was better equipped than Richborough. Its cranes and transportrs were plentiful, o1 ,im- mense capacity and all electrically op- erated. Eighty miles of special railway tracks were laid to serve the docks alone and a shipyard was established where nothing had existed prior to the war except salt marsh. Electric -al power .was produced from a central station, a fine road was built to Rams- gate and, presently, the port was the principal British terminal for that train -ferry service which was princi- pally responsible for the efficiency of British transportation of war material in France. The barges of this ferry were enor- mous and could take an entire train of the short freight cars which the British railways use. The immense importance of this port to the final victory of the Allies may be estimated when I say that not less than one-third of all shipments made from England to any of the war zones, including, of course, that of France and Belgium, were made from Richborough. 'In one month, that of October, 1918, the ferries going out of Riehborough carried 132,000 tons of supplies. In 1918 when the British and French suffered such disaster—in the last week of March—the anmy of Britain and much of that of French was re - equipped with an almost instantane- ous promptitude largely because of the efficiency of this port. Six hundred guns, which was the total of the British loss, were re- placed by new ones shipped from Richborough in something less than 48 hours after the beginning of the British knowledge of the great dis- aster. This was only one of the astonish- ing feats of shipment which gave lus- tre to the name of Richborough in the minds of. the select few 'privileged to know that such a port existed. It is an extraordinary thing that the Germans apparently never got a real inkling of the importance of this port, Take along plenty of filen WE have Kodak film in the complete assort- ment, autographic and non -autographic — and all of it is ready for results.

Of course Rich - borough was well equipped with air defence facilities, but it was not called upon to use them, for at no time did it suffer serious attacks by Zeppelins or aeroplanes although it was, of course, within easy reaohing distance for them. The vessels constructed in the Rich - borough yards were of the 'moat pure- ly utilitarian character—the barges for the train ferry, two boats, large and small, rescue tugs—powerful sea - brutes capable of hustling even great ships into port after they had been torpedoed tugs of every variety. Some of the feats of these big tow- boats during the war were most as- tonishing. One notable feat was that of the Saint Columb. It towed the torpedoed armored cruiser Weymouth, feared to be in a sinking condition, a great distance to saftey in the Adri- atic. The story of that feverish effort in which men and Machinery co-ordin- ated as they have not done so inany times in history has become a tradi- tion in the war history of the British merchant marine. The steel barges built at Richborough have shown thetgaelves capable of heavy cargo service on the open sea in very bad weather. r To -day the British government 'with respect to Richborough and its craft is in much the same position that the American government is in with regard to Hog Island and the shipping board craft. Tonnage is a drug upon the market in England, as it is in the United States, and those who built up the port and produced the many 'craft now lylmg idle there under high pressure in war time now are disgusted because no worthy bids are made for them to be used in peaceful service. How many tons are rusting now at Richborough? Only the officials know and they won't tell. , DON'T THIS! LEONARD EAR OIL RELIEVES DEAFNESS and STOPS HEAD NOISES.
