The house cistern may be located the cellar, or outside underground, cording to conditions. If the cel - r he large and provided with good rainage for the overflow of the cis - ern, there can be no serious objec- on to having the cistern in the cel - r. if the roof of the house is not rge enough to collect sufficient rain ater for the water service of the eine, the roofs of barns and other endings may be connected up to an- ther cistern at these buildings and he two cisterns connected for joint ervice if necessary. In this case robably the best arrangement would e to build one very large under - round tank, 12 or 15 feet square lid 10 feet. deep, at a point where ain water from both house and arns would gravitate and collect. Between the barns and 1hie cistern t would be advisable to build a settling basin to intercept dirt front roofs. The water system would be connected to this large cistern ' to supply the house or barn as required. The same water system could he used the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per waterto supply the house or barn rwso the acre on the poorer parts of the field from the well or other source will usually pay well. used for drinking and cooking Turnips have difficulty in absorb- puInobes.

On ground that was rich enough to grow twenty-five tons of turnips per acre we have raised the yield five tons by the use of three hundred pounds of acid phosphate per acre. The points to be kept In mind are that while nitrogen Is so valuable there Is a very large supply An the air which can be got through the growing of leguminous crops, and that the phosphate, for various rea-. sons, hate a peculiar vallie when used to supplement good general ma- nuring and good cultivation.—Prof. Robert Harcourt, O.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (11y Canadian Forestry Associatien.1 Q. 1 have a son just graduated from high school who wislles to lake a training in Forestry. What schools are available in Canada? A. There are Forestry schools at University of Toronto, Laval Uni- sersit.y, Quebec, University of New Brunswiek, Fredericton and Univers- ity of British Columbia, Vancouver. Write• to the nearest one for a cal- endar. The usual course is four years and the summer vacations are usually spent in actual woods work in the employ of governments or private companies. Q. I have had some little experi- ence as a woodsman and would like to qualify for a position in the Gov- ernment Forest -Service. Is there arty ehort courfit available? A. 'Nearly all the senior executive officers in the government forest ser- vices are graduate foresters who have spent at least four years in a college of forestry. We have not as yet any Canadian sc'hool's to train men for the junior benches. You might write the College of Forestry, 'Syracuse, reuse ' N. Y., for particulars regarding the State Ranger School at Wanakena, 5, Y. The latter 'provides ;Osbert course such as you desire. Q. -I have heard somewhere that it takes several 'hundred spruce logs to produce a single edition of one of our large daily newspapers. Have you the figures for this? A. It has been estimated that a newspaper With one hundred thous- and circulation will require about -225 average size spruce -and balsam 'logs for a single issue. Q. Would' you advise planting Manitoba Maple as a shade tree? A. As you are living in 'Eastern Canada you had better choose a more satisfactory maple. The Manitoba Maple is a quick grower and that is about its only worthy featurOt par- ticularly when you have the choice of a dozen far superior shade tree species. Why not a Norway Maple? Q.—Is it true that the people of Canada are the legal owners of near- ly all the forest lands? A. It .fe true indeed and a fortu- nate fact for the 'Canadian people. While a considerable part of the standing timber is leased to corpora- tions and put to good use, the title to the land itself remains in the name of the people. This means that the mass of Canadian citizens and not primarily lumbermen or pulp n'antifacturers are responsible for the management of the timberlands and will be answerable for handing on to the next generation the forest reset in as good or better condition than we ourselves have found it. Phosphate Also a Necessary Food. The element next to nitrogen in importance is phosphorus. Nitrogen can be got from the air by legum- inous plants, but ,the phosphorus supply in the soil can be supplement- ed only by adding some form of ma- nure or fertilizer. The supply in the soil Is comparatively small, and le naturally held in an insoluble form, so that losses by leaching may be reduced to a minimum. So firmly is the phosphorus held, that 1n our study of the soils of the Province, we find that after nitrogen, no plant food constituent that may be added will give so decidedly good results as phosphorus. This is especially tree when applied for the cereal grates and turnips. On fall wheat, - 410 pounds of acid phosphate per acre has doubled the yield, and basis slag on heavy soils has given even bet- ter results. On soils fairly reale in vegetable matter, and thus well sup plied with nitrogen, there is usually no need of supplementing the gen- eral manuring with anything but the phosphate, the exception being when fall wheat has wintered poorly and fs having a hard time to make growth in a cold backward spring. Then an application of nitrate of soda at Beer. These figures are a pretty fair indication that the tractor is taking Its place as a farm imPlement. Farm itupletuents generally have a very si,u:t life, and tractor depreciation to usually reckoned at from 20 to 26 ,,: r cent. -1 o usl ng. A good tractor deserves the best of protection and when not in use •.r stored for the winter should be ul a shed that is weather, tight. If .t is to be left in tee field over eight IL should be covered with a :e;:tcrproof canvas to properly pro- .ect :he wiring, magneto, etc. , paid by Hungary. In this the Little Entente may also have a share. The fact that Charles and his fam- ily still have firm fele-nes in Hung- ery -is, evidenced by the purchase of a 2,0(10,000 crown 'bed and bedroom suite for the ex -queen by Budapest royalists. The bed was made of sa- tin wood, with brocade and gilt dec- orations. The money was raised by popular subscription. The authori- ties have refused to permit its dis- play in public, fearing royalist riots, so the bed will be ant intmodiately to Madeira. the serious mistake of making it too small. Then install some form of water system in order to have the Bolt water, both hot and cold, on tap throughout the house.

Buried treasure never buried a cent's worth. That Mary was devised - to amuse Sum- mer tourists on long Island. "Once a man supposed to be well informed in history whispered to she ' darkly that he had heard that the partners of Capt. Kidd's enterprise when he sailed on the Adventure were 'potpie very well 'known.' They were indeed. One was a mem- ber of the Royal family --in feet, the Kung of England—and among his other partners were the Lord Chancellor, the First Lord ft he Admiralty, the Secretary of ie, the Governor of New York and Robert Livingston, founder of the American family of that name. His condmission as a pirate '.bunter bore the Great Seal, of which the Lord Chancellor is the sole keeper, as every one knows. Now, these gentlemen were all of , the Whig party, then in power. The Tories were keen on the hunt for a scandal to be used against them. The rest of the story, and its sad conclusion, follow from that fact. There had to be a scapegoat, and Kidd was the Haan. His history is simple and honor- able. His father was said to have boen a Non -Conformist minister, who was put to the torture of the boot. Late jn his career he ran a Racket between New Yorlt and Lon - den, but in 1689, 'when William III. had became King, anti there was hot fighting in the West Indies, he did good service on the English side .r'ainst the French. There were troub!ous times. in New York when he retie -nod, a Lieutenant -Governor being in office pending the arrival of the new Governer sent out by the King, for the former Governor ltd fled. Jacob Leiser was the popular leader; but Capt. Kidd sup- ported the aristocratic party; and he served the cause so well that in 1691 the Provincial Government re- warded him with a substantial ,gift. :Vlomnver, he married a rich widow, end these two foots account for the only treasure that in all likelihood he ever rpotesrssed.” The erpedition to the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and neighbor- ing waters on which Captain Kidd aajledjorth in the galley Adventure in 4696 bad for its powerful backers the great folk mentioned, says Marion Storm in the New York Poet.

These oilers work so to' draw •a tenth of the proceeds— well that they are often forgotten. a third more than Kidd's own share." After long hardships Capt. Kidd returned to the West Indies on one of his prize vessels. "He was be- guiled to come ashore at -Boston— although he knew that t -he false charges against him made that dangerous—by his- one-time friend, the Earl of Bellomont, now Governor of New York and the greater part of New England. Lord Bellomont speedily threw him, heavily ironed, into jail, and passed the good word on to the anxious King and .the Whig nobles, whose Tory rivals were in full cry on the scent of this scandal—'Royalty compromised by piracy!' For a year Capt. Kidd lay in prison in -Boston, and then was taken over to Newgate Gaol, Lon- don, where at last he was brought to trial, as they called it, and con- victed of piracy on five indictments and of murder also. He had no friend. There was nobody to whom his life was not an inconvenience. The trial was a tragi-epmedy.

There are many stratus of collies mostly classified by color, as sable and white, black and white, black and tan, black white and tan, grey, white.
