Mineral Elements Become ole hattxted. Frequently one of the mineral ele- ments -lime, potash or phosphorous -is exhausted by cropping or leach- ing. -Nitrogen exhaustion is a very common etiedltion noticeable in (ands that have been cultivated for more than twenty-five years. After all, the soil is only a storehouse for those elements required in the life pro- cesses of the food plants that the farmer grows. In that storehouse various forms of life are at work converting the unusable to a usable or food condition for the plant. If we crop for years and exhaust the nitrogen or the potash pr the phos- phorous to a point where any of such could not be supplied In quantity suf- ficient to meet the full demands of the growing plant then we have a condition of plant mal -nutrition or starvation. Plant Food Must Be Suppiled. The plant can develop only to the extent that food is supplied to per- mit growth. Many of the thin crops noticeable In many sections of the province are thin simply because of soli exhaustion. Soule part of the plant's ration is below the minimum requirement for best development. It may be nitrogen or potash or phos- phorous. However, if we have rob- bed the soil'of some fertility element to a point where we see a decline In yields we should return to the Boil what we have taken away 1f we are to expect full yields agaih. Cropping will exhaust a soil if the system of rotation or management does not provide for ample return of the es- sential elements, nitrogen, potash and phosphorous. Effects of cropping are not noticed on the really well managed farms where clovers and other, legume plants are prominent in the crop rotation, where the crops grown are fed to live stock and where some attention is paid to keeping the mineral elements, potash, phosphor- ous and lime, abundantly supplied. Mother Earth Wants Only a Fair Show. The soils of Mother Earth will, 1f reasonably and intelligently manag- ed by all of the thousands of in- dividual farmers, last for many cen- turies. Unfortunately all our farm- ers are not as reasonable as they might be, and we frequently see evi- dence of overcropping, soil robbing, poor management and lost labor. - L. Stevenson, Secretary, Department of Agriculture, Toronto. Seven Rules for Poultry Raisers. Here are seven self rules for get- ting the most money from the sum- mer flock: 1. Produce infertile eggs by re- moving the roosters from the flock in the summer time. 2. Provide clean nests and keep eggs clean. 3. Do not wash eggs. Gather eggs twice daily during the summer to prevent them from being heated by the hen. 6. Keep them in a cool, dry place. away from the flies. 6. Market them at least twice each 7. Insist that they be bought on a quality graded basis. Breaking Up Broody Flens. Neglect in breaking up broody hens means a serious reduction in the number of eggs produced by Indiana farm flocks. Conanement of broody' bens in a slat bottom coop has proved satis- factory. This coop should be covered on top with slat or wire sides and may be placed outside, preferably under a tree to insure shade. A slat bottom coop prevents fowls from be- coming comfortable and these soon lose their broody traits. Common practice is to place hens in the coop for three days, releasing them in the evening. If they return to the neat they are returned to "jail" for three more days. Thls us- ually breaks up the most -stubborn Removing the broody hens from the nest the first evening she sits Is a very important factor In breaking up broodieess. If hens are allowed to be undisturbed a few days It re- quires more time to break up broodi- nest; and this results in a longer Per- iod of non -production. Natiturtimns do not require rich soil, in fact, if put on rich moil they will produce more vine than flowers.

As you know, solid food must be changed into a Bquld by the stomach befgre.it can be taken up as nourishment b'y'the blood. The stomach' acts as a churn. It is covered by a strong, muscular coat and lined with a soft,- delicate membrane which secretes the Gastrlo Juice whioh'd;gests or dissolves solid food. W• hen food enters the stomach, the muscular coat squeezes and presses the food from end to end, or churns 1t, with the gastric juice to dissolve or digest it. But -if the stomach muscles are weak -or .if the dissolving fluid is poororinsuffiolent-then foots cannot be digested properly and you have Indigestion. "FRUIT-4.7'MS" is the most wonder- ful medicine in the world for strengthening the stomach muscles and providing an abundance of pure, full-strength dissolving fluid to completely digest every meal. "FItU1T-A•TI VES" does this because it keeps the kidneys active, the bowels regular and the blood pure, which insures pure Gastric Juice.

The British, French and Japenese embassies have a supply of wines and liquors. At the time writ- ing, .a great deal of secret diplomacy is being undertaken with the object of securing a mandate over a bottle. One British correspondent who fail- ed to dislodge a bottle at a British embassy has turned' ardently pro- Japenese, and has high tropes of success. At a movie theatre in which pict- ures of all the celebrities gathered in Washington were shown, the o applause was for Woodrow Wilson and Premier Briand.

Except sea food: you can "fedd hearty" on oysters, lobsters, shrimps and fish of all kind; at very reasonable figures. They have litle oyster bars all over, where nothing but raw oysters are sold at a quick lunch counter. Washington is lousy withsoldiers and sailors. They are on. guard everywhere, at the railway station, at 'government buildings, But on the streets of the city their is ap-, parently no saluting Although a restless, questing peo- ple, or one who spoke boastfully, I met a score who spoke deprecatingly of Americats part in the war, They admit they are the largest and wealthiest white nation on earth. They marvel at their own generosity in foregoing the largest navy in the world, which at the moment at least they could undoubtedly afford, and which. would satisfy that legendary American pride in the buildings, the longest this and the widest that in the world. As one who has gained his impress- ion of Americans largely from visiting salesmen whose professional character is aggressiveness, talka- tieness and exaggerativeness, whet- her in Canada or the States, I must admit that the impression gaineg of non -selling Americans is prepossess- jng, to say the least. s sea ered far and wide, not, bunched in one grand mass, its numerous beautiful hotels, its fashionable cafes, it is hard to realize that Washington is con- siderably smaller than Toronto. But that thought makes you ponder the ,meaning of the word small - People in Washington live down- town more than they do- here. At no time is the heart of the city deserted as is King And Yonge at 7 pm. They dine at hotels and cafes. They love their theatres, concerts restaur- ant band. There is a group of youthful gen- eration of Washington known as the "cake eaters." The boys dress in a unmistakable style of fiat felt hats, belled sleeves, belled pant legs, tight - waisted coats. They wear their hair trimmed in a peculiar way and parted in the middle. Apparently they are modeling themselves on the extreme fashion ads in the Saturday Evening Post. The girls of the "cake eaters" use paint and powder and shorten their skirts to a degree that would shock Toronto beyond measure. But they dress beautifully, boldly, with vivid colors, red, henna black. Their manners are elaberate.

Does Premier Drury get a suffici- ent number of vitamins from his food to enable him to carry on his work The question has been worrying me flor some time, and I'm here to learn the answer. And what's snore, I don't intend to leave these parliament build- ings until I have assured ,myself that he does." We were sitting in a large dining r000m in "our" house of parliament -the civil servants' dining room, they call it -consuming fricasse of chicken. How did they let us in there? you ask. Guess they thought we looked enough like civil servants to pass, for the girl that takes the money never questioned us. We went over tc a table near a window where we had a good view of the University campus. But that was all that was good about that thirty -cent meal. "A farmer government all right," I observed, as I eyed the knives, forks and crockery. A little "steno." sitting opposite, who might have been a farmer sup- porter 'herself, eyed us warily. "Which part of these parliament buildings do you work in?" her eyes seemed to question. "None," ours answered. "We're a rank outsider." And then we heard our voice framing a question: "But this isn't the dining room . where Premier Drury eats, is it?" "No," she said. "This is the mem- bers' and the civil servants' dining room. Mr, Drury and his ministers have a private one down stairs. But I don't know much about it. I've never been 'honored with an "invite." "Thank you," I said. "What I am specially interested in is whether Mr. Drury eats the correct amount of vita " But I swallowed the "mines" with a mouthful of soup. The reason. Because a strenuous kick under the table reminded me that I might not be among frienlds. So with my eye on the view I finished the soup, the fricasse of chicken leg, potatoes and tomatoes. The grand finale came when, like the winner of a race who gets a prize, a choice of apple pie and sago pudding was of- fered. I took apple pie and soy friend sago pudding. "Just as if you couldn't get that at home any day in the week," I told her. "Tea or coffee?" "Think of it! A farmer govern- ment and no cream!" my friend whis- pered. "Yes, anfl think alsq of this: A farmer government and a tablespoon to stir your, tea with! Cottee, let's go and see the cabinet ministers' dining room.

They do get lots of vitamines for there are two large baskets of oranges, bananas, apples and grapes on the table. Then era -Al -and the silence is over.
