Garden waste, decayed vegetables, dead vines, weeds, and the organic rubbish that collects about the plata during it busy summer may be clean- ed up and put to work again through the agency of a compote heap. Start the heap by laying down a bed of stable manure which has not been burned or heated. The size of the plot will vary with the amount of refuse to be used; for ordinary uses, if the bed is 'nude 8 feet long by 6 feet wide and 2 feet deep It will serve the purpose. Over the manure spread a two -foot layer of refuse and cover with another layer of manure. This lastlayer need he only a foot lo thicknesA. Repeat the layers until all the waste has he'n disposed of and then enver the whole with a layer of earl h. If it la desired to add to the heap from time to tinte the top layer may be opened and the new material emp- tied into the Hole thus made. This is convenient for the suburban home where there is no animal to consume the kitchen waste. In the spring the heap is well mixed with a fork and the compost is ready to, be spread on the garden plot. The heating ma- nure will effectively destroy any weed seed present and will also break down the structure of most of the materials that have been thrown upon the pile. The process may be continued inde- finitely by simply adding enough manure to Insure heating. Compost is especially •valuable for use in hot- beds and cold frames. A flock of scabby sheep will infect the roads, trails, sheds, yards, bed grounds, pastures. ranges, and the ground around the watering places. ' it Is therefore important that the bock receive proper treatment as soon as the disease appears, before the infection becomes scattered.

BIC INCREASE IN NUMBER OF • BROWN SWISS CATTLE 1\ CANADA One of the most distinctive types of dairy cattle found in Canada to- day is the lirown Swiss, of which there are 1,200 registered animals this year, ;whereas there were only 142 registered last year. The males (of this breed are a dark seal brown, several shades lighter along the spine and on the ears and muzzle; the females run from light brown to dark steel gray, with light-colored muzzle and oars. They are small - boned and po sess a fine silky coat. The scene of the origin of the 1rew•n Swiss was the Orient. They first roamed the steppes and valleys of Western Asia, and were intro - dieted into ('entre] Europe about the time the Nuns overran Europe and sacked Rome. The modern world credits • Switzerland as the country where the greed found its first permanent home and began to take on the characteristics which nark it to -day. For centuries the little republic of Switzerland has been famous as a dairy centre. To- day it occupies one of the highest places among the nations of Europe in the matter of cattle, milk, and dairy products. Swiss cattle reared and grazed on Alpine grass are among the healthiest and hardiest of breeds, When the World War started, all nations gf Europe, Allied as well as Central Powers, looked to Switzer- land to supply the large quantities of dairy products by which their armies and civil population were to be sustained. In 1889 an American. E. M. Barton, of Illinois, while visit- ing Berlin, Germany, noticed that the highest priced milk sold in that city came from imported Brown Swiss herds. He purchased fourteen head. In 1860 H. M. Clarke, of Belmont, Mass.. purchased seven heifers and one sire, and shipped them to U.S.A. He was the first importer to the Con - COULD HARDLY STAND AT TIMES Hips, Back and Legs Would Have That Tired Ache Everett, Washington.—" For several yearn I have had trouble with the lowest part of my back and my hips and my lege would ache with that tired ache.

To do any kind of work, or to play for that matter, is next to impossible if you are suffering from some form of female trouble. It may cause your back or your legs to ache, it may make you nervous and irritable. You t'nay be able to keep up and around, but you do not feel good, Lydia E.

Mr. Standish exhibited these fine cattle through- out Quebeo Province from 1006 to 1918. Two of the most noted breed- ers at the present time are W. A. Jolly, of Waterloo, Quebec, who has the finest heard in Canada, and R. Libby, of Stanstead, Quebec. Mr. Libby secured his first Brown Swiss from M. Standish, the first importer, who resided within a mile of Mr. Libby, in 1909. W. A. Jolly followed the show circuit from 1912 to 1922, and Ralph H, Libby has exhibted Brown Swiss from 1915 to 1922. Mr. Libby states that Mr. Jolly and, he intended to ex- hibit this year from August 18th to October 20th, at Three Rivers, Sher- brooke (where several American herds will be exhibited), Quebec, Woodstock, N. B.; Ottawa, Malone, N. Y.; Rochester, N. Y., State Fair; Ohio State Fair, National Dairy Show, St. Paul, Minn. "Mr. Jolly and I are only enemies when eau - ally in the show ring, a few short hours each week," states Mr, Libby. Mr. Libby has in his accredited herd the stock of Tom Phyllis, the Connecticut and New York States, and then came to Speedwell Farm, Lyndonvilte, Vt., owned by Theodore N. Vail, the Electric King, of New England, and Bell Telephone direc- tor and ex -president. After the death of Mr. Vail, in 1920, this ani- mal was sold for beef at nineteen years of age. R. A. Libby, secretaryetreusurer of the Canadian Brown Swiss Asso- ciation, is of the opinion that in ten years' time, or less, the Brown Swiss will be as popular in Canada as it is to -day in the United States, as, under common conditions, on the ordinary farm, with average care, no breed can trim them now, not even the Holstein. W. O. Bohart, of Bozeman, Mon- tana, has a cow, "Beauty Collier," that holds the record of 18,076 pounds of milk, and 633.58 pounds of butter fat. He challenges any cow of any breed the world over to beat her und- er the same conditions, out on range every night and day throughout the test of ten months, except three nights. Heading the list of cows in the Brown Swiss register of production on 'January 1, 1922, is College Bra- vura, 2nd., with a truly remarkable record fur one year's production of milk, 19,460,6 pounds, and 798,16 lbs. of butter fat. The test was taken under the supervision of the Michigan Agricultural College. A Brown Swiss cow, Merney, five years of age, that finished a year's test at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, gave 13,653.7 lbs, of milk, and 554.19 16.,. of butter fat. The value of the products at 25 cents a pound for butter fat, and 15 cents a pound fur skim milk, was $160.47. 'rhe cost of feeding was $40.29. The profit was $11418. There were 35 underwent the test and these includ- ed Gucrenseys, Jerseys, Holsteins, Ayreshires and Brown Swiss, but Merney ended the year with a great- er net profit than any other eow in the herd. These facts and figures fur certified to by the University of Wisconsin. John W. Laidlaw, of Wilton Grove, Middlesex County, second vice-presi- dent of the Canadian Brown Swiss Association, has been the owner of some very fine Brown Swiss cattle.—. A HANDY STONEBOAT The following gives details for the construction of a handy boat which will save much work in removing large stones from fields. Two hardwood planks two inches by twelve inches by six feet; one hardwood plank two inches by six inches by twenty-eight inches; two three-quarter inch by five inch bolts with washers. This stoneboat is very handy in moving stone which are one to three feet in diameter. The hest asset of the machine is that it requires no . labor or "back work" in loading or unloading. It costs practically noth- ing and can be made from materials on every farm. It is made by rounding off an end of each plank and boring a two inch hole in that end for the chain to which the team can be attached. The planks are placed sidebyside four I inches apart. The inside edges are bevelled. The short plank is bolted i across the end opposite the round points, one bolt in each plank. When a stone is to he moved the , planks are spread so that one goes on each side of the stone. A chain to which the team is attached is fasten- ed to the hole in each plank. As the team goes ahead the planks close to- gether and the stone is lifted and moved to a desired point. To unload, the chain is removed from one plank so the team can spread the boat, al- lowing the stone to rest on the ground.
