It is because all needs are catered to, and all minds receive what they, need, and all households ate given from the experience of the past and the wisdom of the present what is. necessary for to -day and foredo -morrow alio, that none can afford to be without the Family Herald and 'Wgekly Star, par- ticularly as the subscription price of '$2.00 a year is within the means- of MUCH LOWER PRICES FOR SEED OF HUBAM The increased production of Hu - barn or annual white sweet clover seed in the United States has re- sulted in greatly reduced prices for that new, forage crop seed in that country. As a novelty it sold at sev- -eral dollars per pound in 1920 and was produced in commercial quan- tities for the first time in 1921. Starting at $2 per pound retail during the fall of 1921, the price gradually fell to around 6 cents before the end of the selling season. The demand was not sufficient to absorb the supply at the high prices, and re- ports indicate that about 15 per cent, of the 1921 crop still remains unsold. At this time the 1922 crop is being offered at 20 to 40 cents per pound, according to quality. . Growers began harvesting their Hubant seed in Alabama on Aug. 1st, in Illinois and Iowa Sept. 1-15, and of the few in MichiganSept.p t. 25. A larger growers reduced their acre- age materially, which, however, may be offset by the acreage sown by growers who grew the crop for the first time this year. In several sec- tions growers report tSat the heads did not fill well and that a large percentage of the acreage a was aban- g g aban- doned. The average yield per acre on the acreage harvested is about equal to that of last year, or 210 lbs. The quality of the new -crop seed is fair to good. THE FALL WEATHER HARD ON LITTLE ONES Canadian fall weather is extremely hard on little ones. One day is warm and bright, and the next wet and cold. These sudden changes brings on colds, cramps and colic, and unless baby's little stomach is kept right the result may be serious. There is nothing to equal Baby's Own Tablets in keeping the little ones well. They sweeten the stomach, regulatethe bowels, break up cold's and make baby thrive. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail At 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. STOPPING THE LIMITED EXPRESS When E. H. Harriman, the famous railway Iyng, wanted something very much indeed he usually found a,way of getting it. Here is a anmazing example of his resoucefulness that Mr. George Kenman tells in his bio- graphy of the man: In the fall of 1895; Mr. Harriman wished to see one of the races of the trotting association at Goshen, New York. He accidentally missed the 'Erie train that he intended to take, and there was no other except the Chicago express that would take /him to his destination in time. Finding that the express made nb local stops, he telephoned to the executive offices of the Erie and asked whether they would not allow it to stop at Goshen as a personal accommodation. Inasmuch as he was vice-president of the ' Illinois Central and it was customary for high railway officials to extend such courtesies to one an- other, the request was perfectly nat- ural and proper• but when it was referred to the highest authority it i'TheOnlyRemedyaa Says This Doctor "The treatment ofakiadlseases(ecsema) and diseases of the scalp is known to be difficult," writes Dr. W.L.

When the train reach- ed Goflhen, it stopped on signal for the accommodation of the nonexistent passenger for Chicago, 'and Mr. Harri- man got off and went. to the race. The high officials of the Erie would perhaps have treated Mr. Harriman with more deference and coutesy if they could have forseen that in the not distant future he would save the Erie from „another bankruptcy by putting up five and a half million dollars of his own money. itt®s •Disease) J Lotion ibr VlW6 Disease) FOR SALE BY ,ALL DEALERS THE STORAGE OF VEGETABLES. The storage of vegetables is not satisfactory in a great many cellars, because the temeperature is kept too high. There is a natural desire to keep the cellar warm, of course, be- cause this materially aids in main- taining comfortable rooms above. The warm cellar, however, particul- arly if the floor is of cement, has a dry atmosphere, and vegetables wilt badly therein. On the other hand, if the cellar is warm and moist, growth and rotting are more likely to take place.. The dry, warns cellar is fav- orable to the storage ofsquash and pumpkins only and not suitable for vegetables other than these. Tem- perature is really the prime factor in the successful storage of vegetable crops. A temperature slightly above freezing will carry all vegetables in fresh condition for the longest period and with the minimum of leas. It is wise to have the vegetable storage room separated from the main cellar. This room should have con- nections with the outside through which a free circulation of outside air may be maintained, probably an open cellar window screened with cotton would be quite satisfactory until cold weather sets in, when, of course, ad- ditional protection would be heces- sary. A glass window'itinged on the inside is closed after the first of De- cember whenever necessary to pre- vent too low a temperature, the cot- ton cloth still remaining on the out- side for use in warm spells. Such ' a plan has been followed by the writer ' in storing the home supply of vege- tables and has given every satisfac- tion. The larger quantity of vegetables the better the ventilation required. With a large quantity it is better to ' have separate openings for the cooly air i let and the warm air outlet, one at a eater height than the other, thus fa ilitating the freer circulation of the air. If the cellar is such that wilting of 1 the %egetables is likely to take place because of the dryness of the air, a protection of sand or sawdust 6hould be given them. There is little dang- I er of wilting if a free circulation of • outside air, thugs keeping up the hu- midity, is maintained. In the storage of larger quantities of vegetables additional attention to ventilation must be given. A large bulk of vegetables usually generates heat more quickly than it can escape. Consequenttly slatted ventilating shafts should be placed at regular intervals of about four feet to prevent possible high temperature and conse- puent rotting in the pile. Two five - inch boards for two of the sides, with eight inch pieces of laths spaced one inch apart' for the other two sides, make a fine ventilating shaft far the root pile. This shaft is placed on end resting on the floor; the warm air flows readily to it and escapes there- by. Bins four feet wide made of five or six inch boards spaced one inch apart and nailed to each side of the) upright studding will serve the same purpose and in addition will separate the various lots. For onion and cabbage storage, nothing seems to be as suitable as slat -bottomed shelves, one foot deep for onions and two feet for cabbage, placing about ten 'inches of onions or" two rows of cabbage to a shelf. Celery demands a cool and moder- ately dry atmosphere for best stor- age. The roots should be covered with damp sand and the whole so ar- ranged that the sand may be' water- ed occasionally in order to keep the plants from wilting. Four bunches together may be placed upright in a row, with sand covering the roots, and a apace afoot wide left between this and the next row. This space affords a suitable path for watering. In no case should water be poured on the plants as dampness on the foliage favors the- developement of rot. A p�.rpod circulation of air is important in`order to prevent dampness on the foliage. An earth floor is much bet- ter for celery storage than a cement one; consequently a cement floor should be covered to a greater depth with earth before putting these veg- etables thereon. A small patch of parsnips should be left in the ground for spring use. These should be dug as soon as the frost is out and stored itt a cool cel- lar with a covering of sawdust or is seldompde tents' b'! a root.plt s otic' winter oto gelip tions ' the Jug.

We use a straight, off- set intake ventilator with an opening about four inches square -these are set at approximately five foot inter- vals in the toot pit. After filling the pit we cover it upwith four to six inches of straw and then put on about four or five inches of earth. This layer of earth we allow to freeze ;quite solid before applying the second layer of straw and earth. By allow- ' ing this first layer to freeze quite solid, not only is better insulation obtained but a supporting arch is formed which helps to take the weight i of the succeeding layer of earth off the pitted(roota thus ensuring better I storage conditions. Normally the surroundipg earth is frozen quite sol- id by the time the second covering is applied. To avoid this difficulty we put a few loads of manure around the pits to prevent the soil from freezing 1 so that when we come to put the second covering on the pits we only have to shovel loose earth. To prevent the spread of rot in our pits 'we make use of a few thermom eters suspended fairly well to the bottom of the ventilators.. An even, fairly low temperature in all the ventilators indicates everything in good shape. A rise in temperature in a ventilator means the beginning of rot in that vicinity and this condition should be looked after immediately., , The rotting of a single root is en- ough to raise the temperature three 1 or four degrees in the ventilator near i which it is situated. To locate the spot where the rotting roots are to be found, we check up the tempera- ture in the ventilators on either aide of the one where the highest rise in temperature occurred. If the temp- erature in both of these is, about the Isame it is safe to conclude that the Irot is to be found close to the centre ventilator. An unequal em temperature erature P 1 in the two adjacent ventilators means that the rot will be found between ;the centre ventilator end the one on the side where the highest tempera- ture is found. A small rise in tem- perature means that the rot is nearer 1 the centre ventilator whereas an in - 1 crease in temperature almost equal to ;the centre one indicates that the rot is likely located almost Half way be- tween the two ventilators in question. By checking the temperatures in the different ventilators in this way it is possible to locate a rot spot very closely. The pit can be opened at this spot and the roting roots removed without the necessity of going over all the pit, as is the procedure where the exact location of rotting roots cannot be determined. In any ease it pays to keep track of the condition of the interior of the root pit by means of a good thermom- eter. WORLD SERIES WON BY BALL PLAYER'S, QUEER MiSTAKE IN READING SIGNALS George Burns, first baseman of the Cleveland Americans, was sitting on the edge of the dugout in the Brook- lyn ball park, watching the infielders as the third game of the world series of 1920 was drawing to a close. Burns suddenly became more alert, gazed intently for several minutes and then turning to Manager Tris Speaker, re- marked: "I think I got 'em." "Who's giving 'em?" "Kilduff -there at second. Watch him!" Pete Kilduff, Brooklyn's second baseman, was bending low as the catcher signalled the pitcher before the delivery. Then, when the pitcher prepared to wind up, Kilduff picked up a few pebbles of dirt: At times he tossed the dirt ahead of him; at other times he tossed it behind him, his bared hand and arm swinging at his side or between his legs. "Notice him?" asked Burns after Speaker had watched Kilduff on se- veral pitched balls. "Looks like it. We'll try him out," replied Speaker. Calling the next batsman to his side, Speaker gave the player im- plicit instructions. He was to wait the pitcher out and he was to watch every- pitched ball closely and dis- cover what it'was. From the dugout Burns and Speaker watched Kilduff and when the batsman returned to the bench they had the key to the Brooklyn signal code. They knew then that whenever Kilduff tossed dirt in front of him the pitcher was about to de- liver a fast fall and whenever he threw the dirt behind, it was a spit ball or a curve. The same signal was used for any ball other than a fast ball. The discovery came too late in the game. Cleveland was beaten. Cleve- land had been beaten on the previous day. The first game of the series was a Cleveland victory. The scene shifted to Cleveland and after one day of rest the aeries was resuiised, The Cleveland players took the field with instructions to watch Kilduff. They were to set themselves and prepare to meet a fast fall when- ever Kilduff tossed the dirt in front of him, the slgnsl der a fest one They were th i ore' the delivery whenever Kilo teased dirt behind him. The master* of the Brooklyn pit. chore disappeared in that game. Cleveland won, scoring five runs and ft'le runs was more' than their total in the first three -games. The next day they scored- eight, including" a home run with the Mises filled. They knocked out. .Grimes, leading pitcher of the National 'League and a spit ball pitcher. Grimes wondered why they swung only at his fast ball and ignored his spit ball. This baseball rout marked theturning point in the series. With Grimes knocked opt of the box, with no pitcher able to'stop Cleveland, the issue was all but com- pletely decided and Cleveland achiev- ed a complete victory in the next two days, winning each day and landing the championship, five games to two. The series, as Wood had predicted, Several months later, one bleak winter day, McAllister, the Cleveland coach, met Kilduff on the street in Columbus, Ohio. The world series -was introduced into the conversation. "I've never been able to understand how you fellows got on to our pit- chers all of a sudden. The way you looked those two days in Brooklyn I thought you'd never be able to hit them,". observed Kilduff. "Oh, it isn't so funny," replied Mc- Allister. "Not -Tunny at all if you'd been where I was, on the Cleveland bench." "I don't, understand." "I kno, but if' I were you, I'd get a different set of signals for next sea- son. It's all over now and it makes no difference to us and that's my friendly advice' to you." "What do you mean? I don't need any advice. What have I got to do with a change in signal system?" McAllister told Kilduff in detail how' Cleveland had discovered the key to the Brooklyn signal code by watching him and how the batsmen, by observing the movement of his arm, had been able to know when- ever a fastball was coming up and bat accordingly. As McAllister finished Kilduff laughed. "Yes, that is funny and you don't know how funny it so for I didn't give a signal all through the series. It wasn't me hut Ivy (Olson, our shortstop, who was signaling the outfielders on every pitched ball." The strange revelation, months later, that Kilduff ditl4 not give any signal, does not destroy the value his movements had for the Cleveland batsmen. Kilduff unconsciously went through a certain motion when a fast ball was about to be pitched and through another motion when a curve ball was asked for. Ball plyers fre- quently do that.

Fertilizers for Fall Wheat. Fall wheat must have a strong well -rooted plant to withstand the winter. To insure this there should be an abundance of all kinds of avail- able plant food in the soil. The two constituents the wheat plant has the greatest difficulty in getting out of the soil are nitrogen and phosphorus. If the land has been manured and summer fallowed, or, if a clover sod has been ploughed down there will probably be no need of purchasing a further supply of nitrogen and an application of acid phosphate alone will probably be sufficient. If, on the other hand, the wheat Is to fol- low oats, or if there is any fear that the plants will not develop a good top, then some form of readily avail- able nitrogenous fertilizer may be used to advantage. Cei`eal crops have little difficulty in getting their supply of potash, consequently it will rarely pay to purchase a fertilizer containing this constituent for application on the land to be sown to wheat. The. Department of Chemistry at the Ontario Agricultural College has found that an application of from 200 to 400 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of aminonfum sul- phate per acre has very much increas- ed the yield of wheat on the clay, soils predominating in the Niagara Peninsula and in the area lying along the north shore of Lake Erie. It is probable, however, that when the soil contains a good supply of organic matter, enough to furnish sufficient nitrogen, the ammonium sulphate may be omitted. -Chemistry Dept., O. A.

A successful lambing per. iod helps to make a successful sheep year. It then behooves every shep- herd to have as high a percentage of strong, healthy lambs as possible. The lambs, and perhaps here and there a ewe, that he will save by good feed and care will amply repay hill. If the ewes are to lamb before going on pasture they should receive some grain about one month before lambing. This insures a good flow of milk. Oats and wheat bran, either half and half or two parts of oats and one of bran, which is lower in price, should be fed. One-half pound a day of this mixture for each ewe should prove sufficient. It is also very important that suc- culent feeds, such as corn silage or roots, be given pregnant ewes. These keep the bowels In gond condition and serge as general tonics and regu- lators. The weight of the wool can also be increased by feeding good suc- culence. All winter long each ewe should receive daily from two to two and one-half pounds. After lambing this amount can be increased. It should be remembered that no frozen silage or roots should be fed to sheep. Either is very dangerous. The flock should be supplied with pure, fresh water at all times and barrel salt should be placed within their reach so that they can get it at will. Small Garden Will Often Pay Big. It is possible to make the garden pay big dividends for the amount of labor put upon .1t if that labor Is well directed. A space 50 x 100 feet will, _ if properly planned and worked, give a supply of practically all vegetables. except potatoes and a few other coarse vegetables, for a family of four the whole year. It must be rich soil,, well cultivated, and a plan -followed that will use the space all the grow- ing season. Silkworm culture is both studied and taught in a Bulgarian experiment station. 01oct10 TheTobacco OF Quail DoYou Remember MA Pictures?c4` Il��z�o HAW THE P/CTURES TH SC!//L ARI CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S Picture Plays have made millions laugh.
