economical. Frequently the barn has
to be cloaled out during haying or
liaryten storage, necessitating the re-
moval of the Implements for a long
period of exposure. A building de-
atguod and cuustructed for imple-
meet outrage itt to be desired on
'Very farm. Tee sire of an Duple -

measuring the luiplenteuts and then

Khould Be Centrally Located.
The implement ehed should be
located as a central feature in the
terminated group of buildings at a
point midway betweeu the house and
barn, In such a position as to be
convenient to teamsters going to and
from fields and roads. Concrete
floors are high!), aatiafactory, but
not always ueceseary; gravel and
dry earth doora are generally Batts -

roof, if it will keep out the rata

2 x 6 inch beards and prepared roof-

be constructoel of 1x 4 or tour -inch
Doles set on 24 -inch centers. Sheds
planned to be 16 feet or more in
width should have 2 x 6 ratters if
the roof is of one slope. Rough

ed will make a desirable and strong
wall, quite good enough to shelter

A Question That the Prudent Farmer
Will Keep In Mind.
With tillage and harvesting mach-
inery in idleness during the winter
period and with farm men not as
busy as they are during the spring
season, it is good management to see
that all implements and tools are
put into the best condition possible.
Odd hours of the day during the
winter on many farms are always
available for such repair work. Such
spare periods can be very profitably
used in going over all machines and
making good any wear and tear,
tightening bolts and rivets, putting
in new parts where needed; painting
to protect against rust and weather-
ing, have done much to prolong the
usefulness of farm tool& Many
hours and many dollars are lost each
year through tools and implements
being neglected. Ploughs, binders,
mowere and rakes left in the fields
or in the farm yard or along the
fence row or in the orchard have
worn out or rusted out years before
their time. Fifty per cent. efficiency
is too low for any implement or tool
in which we have invested capital.
One hundred per cent. efficiency from
farm implements and tools comes
only to those who take care of their
implements. Provide protection from
weather when not In use and keep
them clean, sharp and tight. The
rush of spring work itt seriously hin-
dered by the ploughs; being rusty,
loose or out of adjustment, by the
harrows being dull, by the grain
drill and the roller being out of re-
pair when such should be in the field
and In use. A little attention to the
implements during February and
March will save hours and dollars in
April and May. --L. Stevenson, Sec-
retary Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto,
Beeping Celery.
At a constant temperature of 32
degrees Fahr., celery can be kept for
several mobths, and placed on the
market as fresh looking as the day
It was cut. Recent experiments at
the Ontario Government Cold Stars
age Station at Brighton, bear out this
statement, which knowledge will
prove of immense value to growere.
To obtain the best results from
cold storage, celery should be well
grown, partially bleached, eut with
part roots on, with a little rough-
age left for protection; and finalise
cut, battled and placed in cold
storage the same day.
If horne-made lime -sulphur solu-
tion is to be used, make It now and

The point is to use the soil as a

all Da resources during tne rotation

Alternate Shallow and Deep Feeding

By planting a rotation that will
call for X surface feeding crop one

years the soil is nut subjected to the
same everlasting drain on its fertil-
ity that the one crop or no system

required to do is distributed over a
longer period, the soil is given time
to rest up while certain food ele-
ments are reaching a condition suit-

Currants and Gooseberries,
if a currant or gooseberry planta.,,
tion is properly cared for, at least
eight to ten crops may be expected
before it becomes unprofitable be-
cause of its age. Productive fields
over twenty years old are net un-
common in some sections. Although
the number of years a plantation
will continue in good bearing con-
dition depends to some extent upon
location and soil, the most import-
ant factor is the care which it re-
ceives. The period of productiveness
of both currant and gooseberry
plants is longer in northern regions
than toward the southern limits of
their culture and longer on heavy
soil than on sandy soil.
la gardens where the available
land is limited in eittent currants
and gooseberries may weilbe plant-
ed among the tree fruits and left
there permanently. The shade of the
trees protects the fruits from sun
scald, and the foliage is usually
healthier in. such locations than
when grown where it Is freely ex-
posed to the sun.
A place with good air drainage is
preferred for gooseberries. In low,
damp places mildew attacks both
fruit and foliage more severely than
on higher sites where the air circu-
lation is better. Currants, however,
are seldom severely attacked by mil-
dew. Therefore, when the site es a
sloping one, currants may be planted
on the lower parts and gooseberries
above. As both fruits blossom very
early in the spring, neither should
be planted in low pockets where late
spring frosts may kill the flowers.
Gooseberries ordinarily are propa-
gated by mmind layers. The plant
from which layers are to be procured
should be mit back heavily betore It
begins to grow in. the spring, By
July it will have sent out numerous
vigorous shoots. It should then be
mounded With earth half way ro the
tips of the shoots. By autumn the
shoots Will bave rooted. Those With
strong roots may then be cut off and
set in the hurseeye to be grown for
one or sem eeitre before planting in
the field. If the roots are not well
developed it will be better to leave
the shoots attadhed to the parent
plant for a second year.

LAUGHING GAS AS BOON TO
MOTHERS
Laughing gas is coming into snore
general use among obstetricians and
those who employ it believe bhat it
possesses advantages unequalled by
any other anaesthetic and ds free from
the objections cantmon to nearly all
of these agents. The practice is
not new, for in 1880, it was used by
a Russian specialist on twenty-five
oases, his attendee having been
drawn to its possibilities on 'account
of its 'general use in dentistry. Later
on, according to an 'anonymous doc-
tor interviewed in the New York
Times, twilight sleep came along
with its poetical name and its alter-
ing promise and women seized upon
it. In some cases it seized upon
them and their infants. It is,
says, a potent, dangerous drug, suce-
eessful only under ideal conditions,
but ideal conditions are rarely met
relief, and the use of anaesthetic
with. However, women clamored for
increased end is increasing.
Discussing various anaesthetics
this doctor says that ether is not
evanescent enough. It has unpleas-
ant after-effects and should not be
given for a prolonged period. In
operative eases ether May be neces-
&Rey. 'Chloroform sends the patient
,into complete unconsciousness, dim-
inishing labor pains and delaying
the entire enterprisse. There is also
a psychic effect on both ether and
chloroform. The patient's morale is
lowered and she is not so tinclined
to help the physician. Laughing gas
is evanescent. One investigator found
that 20% remaining in the blood
after administration was reduced to
slightly more than six per cent. in
two minutes. Laughing gas does not
completely stop the pains, nor does
it paralyze the .muscular contractions
which supply the .motor power for
the delivery of the infant. The edge
of the pain is dulled and bhe patient
remains in full possession of her
mental powers.
He compares the process with that
of the man in the dentist's chair who
has inhaled laughing gas. At the
moment the yank comes he bas sunk
momentarily into oblivion. Thus the
use of laughing gas renders child-
birth practically painless. In an-
swer to a question the doctor says
that the bearing of such intense pain
as women have Jong endured at
childbirth has a had effect upon
them physiolegically. This is espe-
cially so with modern women who
are Much more .highly organized
nervously than their grandmothers.
Worry destroys some of their resist-
ance. Statistics are available which
:how that maternal mortality An -
leases in ration with the longer dura-
tion of the woman's sufferings. A
colleague who is a strong believer
in the employment of ,nitrons oxide
contends that it not only bring re-
lief to the patient, but shortens the
duration of labor and hastens con-
valescence, beside making the doe -
torts task a great deal easier and
a
ttended with the .minimum of risk
as regards after-effects.
Another advantage claimed for
the use of laughing gas is that the
patient oan give 'herself the gas and
thus do veithoot the doctor until the
critical time approaches. The ap-
paratus conats of the gas tank, and
a flee/Ask rubber pipe that leads into
a rubber bag, resembling a football
and a smaller tube emptying into
an almond -shaped • mask whidh fits
over the head and mouth. The pa-
tient feelthe 'pain approaching,
places the mask over her face, takes
three or four deep breathe and es-
capes suffering. It is impossible Yor
'her to take too muck vs, for the
moment she is under the influence
of the drug her .hand relearns, and
the mask drops. She, begins to came
to as soon as she ceaeea to breathe
the gas and perhaps ,htie lost con-
sciousness for oily a couple of min-
utes, jnat enough to escape the
worst pain. .

Protialtee the wontanti morole hag
vet hem reduced by etifiaring, nOr

the last stage, the actual birth of
the child, says the doctor, "we all
use a few whiffs of ether, a com-
plete anaesthesia:" He estimates
that if hospitals were organized to
give this service the charges to the
patients would be considerably re-
duced so far as doctor's fees are
concerned, because it would not be
necessary for them to be present
eight or ten hours bedere the brth
of Ike child. On the other hand, the
expense to the hospitals might
amount to $25,000 a year, in the
ease of those winch had 2,600 con-
finement cases. 'While the doctor
gives this important item of expense
as the reason wky •kospitale have
not provided themselves 'with the
necessary gas plant, one would think
that the women would gledly pay
much more to avoid unnecessary
suffering.
