'Phe moths responsible for the egg laying that produces so many destrue alive worms appear 'in June and de- posit their eggs on various food Plants during June, July and August. The female moths that are attracted to corn lay their eggs on the Mika. The eggs are small yellow circular flattened discs. that hatch three or fuer days after being deposited..

Stevenson, Secretary Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. Horse's Efficiency Depends on Batton. One of the factors that tnaterially affects the efficiency of the work hoarse especially In hot weather is the feed he receives and the manner in which Ile receives it. Ir. order that a horse mal' do a full day's work regularly throughout the summer months and yet maintain a present- able condition he must be fed just about to his full capacity. In urder lo do this and not injure his health, care and judgniot,t must be exurclsed in the selection of feeds used. The feeds best salted to fora] the principal components of the ration are good bright clean timothy or up- land prairie hay and bright, clean, sound oats. The average horse weigh- ing 1,500 pournis will require shout 20 pounds of hay and 22 to 24 pounds of oats a day. There is a wide variation ie feed rcquireuleuts of different horses of the slue Weight, however. Some do not have the capacity to consume and digest that mulch feed, and must be fed testi even though as a result they cannot be expec led to work so hard, while others commonly spoken of as easy feeders will keep up and do well on a little less feed than the prescribed amount. The successful teamster or feeder will study the in- dividuality of his horses and feed accord ingty. Horses that are handled quietly and patiently will do much more work and keep in better condition on a given amount of feed than will horses that are abused and continu- ally kept nervous and in fear of the driver. The 00tlnn 6ve0 :,hove can be im- prnced ❑pun hy' nein:; tine feed per (ley of good, bright, clean alfalfa or clover hay, or by substituting )ran for about 15 to 20 per cent. of the oat.a need. The grain feed should be 0, placed by a hrau mash or feed of boiled parley or holly d oats on Sat- urday evening. The daily grain aIIowa nee shared be reduced by 860111 aur- fuurl It 011 Sunday. Corn can he rased in place of oata to con- stitute one half of tile grain ration, though straight oats is conducive to slightly- more satisfactory results over a long Period of time. The heavy feed of hay ghould of course he given at night, while the heavy feed of grain may he given at noon. Watering. both before and after feeding grain is the most satisfactory method. Work horses should also have an opportunity to eat all the salt they care for --W. H. Peters,' chief of the Dtviston of Animal Hus- handry, University of Minnesota.

Made Miserable By This Trouble ,t "fRU1T-A-TiVES" Relieves/It What is Indigestion and what causes It? As you know, solid food must be changed into a liquid by the stomach before it can be taken up u nourishment by 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 Gastric Juice which digests or dissolves solid food. When food enters the stomach, the muscular coat squceees and presses the.food from end to end, or churns it, with the gastric juice to dissolve or digest it. But—if the stomach topscles are weak—or if the dieeolving fluid fa pour erinsuffiolent- then food cannot be digested properly and you have Indigestion. "FRUIT-A-TIVES' 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. "FRU IT- A -TI VES" does this because it keeps the kidneys active, the bowels regular and the blood pure, which insures pure Gastric Juice. "FRUIT-A-TIVES" will correct your Indigestion or Dyspepsia and enable you to enjoy every meal. Try it, 50e. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size 25e.

Agricul- ture ie a huge business, and there is coal and oil and every description of raw resource and industry. Why bother about the foreigner? The foreign trade of America is only from 10 to 14 per cent, of her total trade, and exports have not the same im- portance for America as for us. But though this may be true, America has felt very severely the loss of the purchasing power of her European clients rluzing the last two years. The farmers have begun to understand that they are deeply interested in the welfare of their foreign clients, or, at leant, the intelligent people among them, nd those in charge of their various farmers' associations in par- ticular. Similarly, the value of ex- ports to Europe fell by about three billion dollars last year. These things have given the splendid isolation parties a good deal to think about. It has been the same with the bankers. Gold has flowed steadily into America since she came into the war, until she finds herself with huge reserves of gold, far exceeding all the needs of her currency, and pro- ducing no return at all. So the Fed- eral Reserve Board came to the con- clusion months ago that the United States had an interest in the intro- duction of some form of gold stand- ard as a means for the resumption of the old trade relationships through the effective stabilisation of exchange and even went so far as to affirm that the present abnormal concentration of gold in America was a source of danger, because it was a false guide in matters of credit policy, and no longer an index of the outside limit of legitimate credit expansion. I have ventured to tell American audi- ences that what they have stored in their strong -rooms is not gold at all, but the purchasing power of their European clients, and, so far as I can see, .America is prepared to dis- ONTARIO MOTHER HELPS DAUGHTER Mothers—watch your daughter's health.

America does not very much trust Europe. She is not very well posted in international finance. She is shy of. the assumed astuteness of foreign statesmen, and looks somewhat ask- ance at the international banker. Yet the conditions in the United States are such that in her own clear inter- est she is bound to join hands with us sooner or later. It is becoming obvious to everyone that the world is one great business establishment, and that there is no Power, however rich, self-contained, or strong, that can afford to stand apart and. take. no interest in the reconstruction of Europe and the semi -Asiatic com- munities abutting .upon it. Least of all can a great producing country like America, which developed immense power of production during the war, and can hope for no serious return of prosperity until Europe can again afford to buy American goods. HOW OLD 1S A FISH? In many cases extraordinary stories have been told with respect to the age of fishes. There is a carp in a fishpond in England that is popular- ly held to be more than one hundred and fifty years old, and in Austria there is (or was) another fish of the same species that is credited with the age of two hundred years. Certain- ly carp attain advanced ages, but two hundred years seems rather excessive although in the famous fishpond al Logan Bay, in Scotland, there is a hoary old codfish that is said to have seen more than two generations of keepers. This is somewhat doubtful. Now, through scientific research and experiment, a method has been arrived at whereby the age of a fish can be ascertained, and it is the fish itself that carries its years for all to see. It has now been determined that most fishes take a long time to attain a size making them edible. Herring, when large enough for the market, are from five to ten years old ; plaice and turbot are about four to six years old, for flat fishes grow 1 more rapidly than those of a round shape. It might be supposed that one could determine the age of a fish by its size and weight; but size and weight have, it seems, nothing to do with the matter. These depend up- � on the feeding -grounds frequented bye the fish. The fact is, the finny crea- ture discloses its own age, just as a tree does—by means of rings. A tree is felled and there are counted the rings marking the fiat, round sur- face of the trunk. The scaly fish has rings also, but not in his body. They are on its body—on the scales pro- tecting the skin. Place a fish scale under a glace, and you will soon note that the scale is covered with little tinge, some close to-gether, and some farther apart. These rings lie close together when the fish is attaining its growth slowly, with food scarce and the wa- ter chilly; but when food is plentiful and the water is warm, the fish at- tains its growth quickly—stretches its skin, as it were, with good feed- ing—then the rings on the scales lie well apart. And it is by means of these rings that the age of the fish can be determined. Moreover, there is the method of having to do with the markings out what are termed the ear stones of the fish—the tiny hard objects to be found in its inner ear. If you place these under a fairly powerful glass, you will note tiny light and dark rings. It has been found that every light-colored ring tells of one year, so that, by counting these light rings, one arrives at the real age of tlje fish. New York City now has three wo- men bank officers.
