The wire for Invincible Fencing is made from open hearth steel. This pro- cess eliminates the sulphur and phosphorous almost entarely with the result that the wire stands more bepull, being less brittle, and retains the galvanizing tter than the ordinary fence, Everyone is convinced of the superiority of 8 wire' even spaced fence and of this we have made a Speciality At 48c Per Rod, Cash We stock a full line of 6 and 7 wire fencing, al- so in 20, 30 and 40 rod rolls.

Those who have sprayed irregularly in the past, or who have not sprayed at all, should be warned that insects acid diseases take their toll every year. Some years, and •in some piac- i es, certain kinds are more trouble - 'some than others, but the only way to be reasonably sure of having clean and uninjured fruit is to be prepared in good time for the fight. 1f one has a pump_whichwas not thoroughly cleaned and left in good working or- der last autumn, this should be over- hauled before growth begins this spring. If left until it is time to make the first spray, which is often the most important one, the critical time might have come and passed be- fore new and necessary parts of the sprayer are received and before the pump is in working condition. If ti.e first spray is not given at the right time, it will be exceedingly dif- fault, if not impossible, to have clean fruit this year. The tent caterpillar promises to be bad in some parts of Canada, and this is easiest controlled when the first :pray is givers for apple scab.

BREEDERS SHOULD I'SE GREAT- ER CARE IN SELECTING AND MATING HORSES One having to do with horses •in a public way is not infrequently asked the question: "Is the horse coming back?" It is hard to take a person seriously who ask this ques- tion, for one would naturally as- sume that it means, are horses go- ing to supersede motor vehicles to the same extent as motors super- seded horses, the last ten or fifteen years? If viewed in this way the question is, of course, ridiculous, for undoubtedly motors have come to stay, and the only reasonable ques- tion is as to whether they are going to maintain their present numerical relations, or whether further inroads will be made upon horses by motor:, or whether there will be a reaction and horses become more in demand. Ii is difficult to come to any defi- nite decision, for evidences is cont..n. dictory. The chances are that this matter will he in a large measure settled by the relative expense of these two forms of transportation for most purposes. We were led to believe that trac- tor, were going to displace horses for farm work to a considerable ex- tent, but their popularity was only transitory, for they have not been anything like the success that was predicted for them. Motor vehicles are another pro- position, however, as they have dem- onstrated not only their usefulness, but the economy in their use for many purposes. For all but short distances, where time is a factor, and when it is of value, there is economy in their use. Horse -breeding undoubtedly will never be the extensive business it once was, and it is questionable if it will stay at the present degree of curtailment. This does not mean that horse -breeding should be' dis- continued, but rather that it should be continued, but with greater care, not only more caro in selecting and mating, but in the endeavor to breed with some specific object in view. The market ought to be scrutin- ized by the breeder, and with a view of determining what class of horse it will pay best to breed and still further to make a decision as to whether any mares he has are like- ly, even if mated with a good sire, to produce progeny of sufficient merit tb justify breeding at all. It is better for the' breeder to let his mares remain sterile unless they promise from their individuality and breeding to produce something fair- ly high class; for it is only the good ones of the different classes of horses that are likely to give a satisfactory ret urn. Careless mating, even when the horse was at the zenith of his popu- larity was accountable in many in. stances for the number of mis ant nondescrips that were p •.us- ed, and were sure to prove a(((((disap- pointment, even when the . to rket was good, but will do se to a g eater extent now, when there is less uoy- ancy in the ordinary industry. The breeder who has a good road mare, a good hackney, a good car- riage mare, and particularly a gond heavy draft, need not hesitate to breed, if he can find a sufficiently good sire to mate his mare with. The heavy draft field among those mentioned, possibly offers the most certain prospect of adequate return, but even in that field haphazard methods will mulitate seriously against success. Breeders that are not acquainted with dealers and consumers of the class of horse they have for sale will find a dollar spent on a con- densed ad. in a paper of large cir- culation will increase their chances of affecting a good sale very mater- ially. People not infrequently want a certain class of horse, but don't know where to look for him, and a breeder may have a good specimen and become discouraged in not find- ing a cuatomer. The object in writing this letter was to draw attention to a channel Into which efforts may he success- fully directed in breeding horses.

At dealers or front Fruit -a -fives Limited, Ottawa, Ont. named have not suffered to the same extent from lessened demand. Horses of the right type, with a sufficiency of 'Thoroughbred blood in their veins are in greater demand now, than they ever were, and of course that means are higher priced. This branch of horse breeding, however, and its possibilities are strt, little understood by the major- ity of horse breeders. Strange to say, that the good reputation that the horses of Canada had at one time in the American market was largely due to the Thoroughbred sire. We had horsemen in this country that, knew how to select them, train tat m, and put then, in the market and show ring in such shape that they made a splendid impression, end drew attention to Canada and particularly to Ontario as a good horse county. From a lack of knowledge, in a large measure, this opportunity was not followed up by persistent efforts to pursue this opportunity and maintain and increase Canada's re- putation as a good horse country. liorses with a sufficient infusion of Thoroughbred blood ird them be- came so scarce that dealers ceased to spend time and entail the expense of looking for them. They were a number of reasons why breeders also became discouraged. First of all and most important a: the fact that in many instances sufficient care was not taken in the selection of the mare. Very fre- quently mares of insufficient size and substance were used and not infre- quently unsound and weedy ones wer: bred to Thoroughbred sires, lacking, it substances. The results of such mating usual- ly were, if not unsound, too light d undersized to bring a good price in the market, and not heavy enough for general purpose work .on the farm. In the large majority of cases it doesn't • pay a farmer to bree,t• horses, weighing less than eleven hundred pounds. It is by no means a difficult thing to breed half or three quarter bred horses, weighing front eleven to twelve hundred pounds, and such horses make particularly good general purpose horses on a farm, for any but the very heaviest work. Reasonable use on a farm does not in any way injure a horse, so as to impair his value as a' prospect for a hunter, or saddle horse, in fact it develops him and makes his manners to an extent that will im- prove his tractability for the rest of his life. The rather widespread impression„ that the, get of a Thoroughbred doesn't make a good farm horse is quite erroneous. We have'empha- sized this point as it is sometimes said that if anything in the way of an injury occurs interfering with a colt's availability for market pur- poses, he is no use on a farm.

They are fine types with Wee, substance and quality, and are calculated to do inestimable good to. the horse industry of Ontario, if they are mated with the right sort of mares. It is hoped that many breeders will see them, so as to learn if they do not already know the proper type of Thoroughbred to breed to. There were two exception- ally good specimens also, shown at the Ottawa Winter Fair. We du not wish to convey the im- pression that only heavy weight hunters or riding horses are in de- mand, for lighter weight horses par- ticularly of good class will often find good purchasers. As a rule, however, the heavy- weights are the ones that bring the high prices and are the ones to,aim at breeding. It is rather a blo* to our pride as a horse raising country to Learn that our dem countrymen go to Ireland to get their high claim mounts, when we can breed just as good horses here, if we go about it properly. Suitable mares to produce good riding horses are not plentiful, but they are to be found. The more warm blood they have in them the better. The long, low, deep, well coupled kind are the best with plenty of timber, that stand well oa their legs. One sees every now and then, a mare with trotting blood, one with Hackney blood, or carriage bred, that has the size and substance and conformation that would do admir- ably to breed to a good thoroughbred. As the horse breeding industry is re- stricted now -a -days, it is important to take advantage of any branch of it no matter how small, that offers good opportunities for an encourag- ing; return.

They form, in reality, a narrow forest belt, always within the influence of sea fogs, and rarely extending more than twenty or thirty miles from the coast or over 3,000 feet above sea level. California Redwood shares with the sequoia or "Big Tree" of the Sierras, the distinction of being the oldest living things in the world. It grows to gigantic size, being from 200 to 300 feet in height, and from 12 to 15 feet in diameter. In fact, in some cases the trees have a diameter of 20 feet and over at their buttressed bases, and attain a maximum height of nearly 400 feet. These species FM. as a rule very long lived. Sev- eral trees have been felled that were over 2,000 years old, while some ha3 weathered the storms and droughts of thirty centuries! Great sawmills have been built to convert these huge Redwood trees in- to lumber. Some of the logs weigh as much as forty tons and must be split by dynamite before they can he handled in the mills. Nature has been so lavish in her gift of Redwood timber that it will take all of the mills now in operation from 60 to 100 years to deplete the supply, al- though a large part of this reserve is to -day commercially inaccessible. And by the time, intelligent handling of the forests, which is already being applied, will provide a second cutting for the Redwood stump never dies. It lives to raise a new family that grows around the stump as "shoots' or "sprouts," which grow rapidly to merchantable size. The trees of to- day stand in family circles of throe to five' trees, showing plainly that centuries ago they were mothered in the sante way. Propagation by seed is unnecessary. Redwood forests are immune from fire. Moreover, after the trees are felled, trimmed and sawn into logs,. the tops, branches and undergrowth arc given a chance to dry and are then set on fire to get rid of the bark and give a clean forest floor for re- moving the logs. Redwood logs lie in 'this hot fire until it consumes the "slash" or rubbish, yet they do not burn, HONEY IN AUTO RADIATOR A Connecticut Yankee professor is advocating a new anti -freezing solu- tion for use in automobile radiators. He is L. B. Crandall, bee specialist of the Connecticut Agricultural College. It is honey he uses instead of alcohol He says it is leas costly and less tem- permental than alcohol, and better than glucose, which was recommend- ed in an article in a Philadelphia scientific journal. According to Mr. Crandall eight years' use by a friend in New York shows that honey in the radiator will prevent freezing. Fifty per cent. honey, he says, will do for tempera- tures down to 10 degrees F. For zero and below, 60 per cent. honey la recommended. Honey, it is pointed out does not evaporate .like alcohol. It.s boiling point is nearly ten de- grees above that of water. Another advantage claimed for honey is that it will not rot the rub- ber hose connections nor corrode the metal with which it comes in contact. However, a leaky cylinder head gasket is to be guarded against as the mixture will burn and cause the pistons to stick if it leaks through. Dark honey is cheaper than light honey and give as good results. Honeydew is not safe, says Mr. Crandall. Corn syrup, ,nollasses, sugar syrup, etc., do not depress the freezing point as much as honey and are not recommended by the bee specialist. The chemistry department of the Connecticut Agricultural College will run some testa on honey as a winter radiator fluid. In the meantime there is no bar against trying this at your own risk. It is claimed that two gallons of honey in the radiator will keep the family Ford sweet ail i winter.
