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. -

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.

Whet is Indigestion and what
causes it? 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

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

"FItU1T-A•TI VES" does this because
it keeps the kidneys active, the bowels

is being undertaken with the object
of securing a mandate over a bottle.
One British correspondent who fail-

to realize that Washington is con-

They dine at hotels and cafes. They

There is a group of youthful gen-

"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

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.

URURY CABINET ARE ALL PLAIN
EATERS.
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
