Toroate.) Sharpened stakes and crooked limns of trees were the earliest sub- stitutes for the Plow in historical Umea, and their use has been com- mon among the nation& The aaclent Itgypuan plow was but a pointed *trek. The early (}reeks used the trunk of a email tree with two branches opposite, one forming the share and the other the handle, while the trunk formed the pole or beam The Iran Plow Used by Bornaaa. Iron plowshares were used many centuries before the Christian era by -the Romans, and the iron wan used tor a double rurpoae—for plowe pointe one year and for eworde and spears the next, as iron was scarce in those days. The Romans greatly improved the plow by putting on a wheel and also a coulter. Many races of people showed a widespread hos- tility to the use of Iron in connection with agriculture, believing that iron poisoned the land- l'ooden Plows Coed in America 140 Years Ago. The people of all countries went through the early experience of had- ing a ways and means of tilling they soil, some slowly, some rapidly; and curiously enough the exist plow of al/ nations were much the same in spite of the fact that some nations started thirty or forty centuries ahead of the others. The wooden plow is only, a cCntury and a half remote in Ameri- can agriculture. 1t re curious to trace the pro/peas, of plowmaking in Britain, where Caesar introduced the plow about. 66 B.C. Those of the early culUve- tore were of necessity rude and im- perteet,`tor in those days the plow- man was obliged by law to make a plow before he was permitted to nee one. It le uncertain whether the' early British plow had wheels, but some of those of the Saxons were furnished with them. The Norman plow was furnished with wbeelo, and it was usual for the plowman to carry a hatchet to break the clods. Introduction of the Subsoil Plow. The drat attempt at the construe. tion of a subsoil plow was made in 1677. It loosened the land up to a depth of fourteen inches. It 1s not necessary to do more than point to the various and numerous references which are found in early history of this valuable implement. For ages the plow was little more than a clumsy instrument, which served only to tear up the surface of the. land sufilmentiy deep for the seeds to be buried. It was not brought to any- thing like a perfect tillage tool until the close of the seventeenth century. The Dutch were amongst • the first who brought the plow more into shape, and soon its best features were .copied and included in the Britisher's edea of a plow. The Rotherham plow was made by .1. FolJambe at Rotherham, and a patent was granted for it In 1730. It was then the most perfect in use, and is still well known after two cen- turies. This plow was constructed chiefly of wood, the draft iron share and coulter and the plating on the mould board and sole being the only parts made of iron. With the de- velopment of the iron industry, it was but a short time before plows made entirely of iron and steel were being made. James Small, a Scotsman, was the first inventor and manufacturer got, the cast-iron mould board. At that time (1760) the plow was generally the joint manufacture et the village wheelwright and blacksmith. Plow- shares had been made of wrought iron until 1785, when a patent was granted to Robert Ransome for the making of cast-iron shares. The case hardening process as applied to cast- iron shares was the subject of a patent granted 111 1803. British Plows the Climax in Develop - went.. The Rotherham plow, Small's chain plow, and Small's Scotch plow represented the climax in plow de- velopment previous to 1800, and the men whose ingenuity, spirit, and per- serverance brought about the devel- opment In plow making were Fol - jambe, Small, Wilkie, Finlayson and Ransome. The work and develop- ment of the plow during the past 126 years is too well known to all to warrant Its mention here. The old plowmen simply scratched', the soil with their crude implements, going over the field time and time again, crossing and re -crossing until, they had worked up a few inches into' a seed bed.. The Roman farms were rarely over flve-acres in extent, and when our forefathers in this country used the old wooden plow, the clear-' Ings among the stumps were small the two century gap between the old' rooter that scratched the soil surface' and the new multiple bottom tractor plow of to -day le a long stretch for: the numerous plow milestones that, stand by the way to mark the pro - 1 grecs of Agriculture.—L.

'Contributed by Outerio Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Ata conference of veterinarians en- gaged in the radlcatlon of tubercu- losle to live stock, beld in Chicago, a valuable paper was read by Dr. Schroeder, Superintendent of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Beth- esda. Md., who gave details of the results of experiments which he has conducted during many years on the subject et /sew tuberculosle is carried trona one animal to another. The ere' experiment he described was where two stables were used, designated T and H. T. B. Germs Destroyed by Air and Sunlight. Stable T held for six gears a tuber- culous herd of about 20 cattle rang- ing tram cattle that were healthy to tboae that were in the last stages of generalised tuberculosis. Healthy cattle put into this stable contracted the disease very quickly, and deaths were net uncommon_ in stable H a herd of 20 to 30 cattle were kept dur- ing the acme eine, but no case of tuberculosis developed among them. Men employed in stable T were not allowed in stable 11 nor were utensils used in T ever taken into H. Dr. Schroeder believes that this experi- ment confirms the research of various lnvesugatore to the effect "that we have no satisfactory reasons to be- lieve that tubercle bacilli can retain their virulence long enough in tuberculous sputum or other sub- atancey to become pulverised euflt- cientiy to be carried about by cur rents of air, and even 1f this were possible the germs would be so ex- posed to light in the minute particles which can float In the air that they would speedily die." Germs Not Blown Abotit Like Fog or Vapor. Another experiment of a similar character was carried out on a two - acre held which had been divided into three inciosures, each contain - Ing a stable 16 feet square. The lnclosures were designated A, B and C. A was separated from 13 by a woven wire fence. 0 was separated from B by two lines of woren wire fence eight feet apart. Several tu- berculous cows, some healthy cattle and some healthy brood sows were placed lit stable B. Healthy cattle and healthy brood sows were placed in A and C. At first each tncloaure had Its special attendant but later one man was given the care of all of them, with the injunction that he should attend .to the stock in the order of C, A, B. 1f 1t was neces- sary to enter A or C after having been in B, he was required to clean his shoes of manure. This experi- ment continued with the one man 1u charge for seven years. Enclosure B proved to be a dangerous place for both hogs and cattle. A few hogs in A contracted tuberculosis, but none of the catle, and both hogs and cattle in C remained free. As a comment on this experiment, Schroeder says, "'Tuberculous infection is a concrete thing, which la not blown from place to place like a mass of vapor or fog. There are many ways in which it can be transported, but they are atmple, easily comprehended ways." This he showed by a third experiment. He had two pastures separated by a small woodland and a cultivated field. A stream flowed from one field called 1 to the other called E. A herd tof tuberculous cattle was placed in 1 and a healthy herd in E. Several of the cattle in E contracted tu- tu losis. Healthy Cattle Contract the Disease by Contact. Experiments regarding the danger of allowing healthy cattle to come into contact with diseased ones are quite impressive. Calves which nurs- ed a tuberculous udder only once or were fed just ones on tuberculoua milk from a pail invariably contract- ed the disease. Schroeder has two records of healthy bulls contracting the disease while serving tuberculous cows, but none of healthy cows con- tracting the disease during service by tuberculous bulls. Schroeder's studies show that it healthy cattle are protected front direct contact with, virulent tubereu- iou's material or with diseased cattle, their chances of contracting the dies ease are slight, even nil. For eight years he has been alternating- a healthy herd and a diseased herd from stable to stable. The stable in which the diseased cattle were kept is carefully cleaned, but not dlaln- tected, especial care being taken to remove caked masses of manure, After a week or ten days the healthy cattle are put in, and the tuberculous cattle put in the stable formerly 00- t!upied by the healthy cattle. Both stables are frame structures with earth doors. No cases of tuberculosis have ever developed in the healthy herd. T. B. Germs and Manure Piles. Dr. Schroeder closed hiss paper with this significant statement, "Tubercle bacilli bave been proved at the station to remain alive and.viru- lent in a manure pile, some distance below its surface, for a period up- wards of sin months, but they will not stay alive, in stables or else- where, unless they are .prdteeted by opaque masses of some kind ageing. the action of the light."

Perm Women's View of the Quiet Life. After filling the radiator with the clear, cold water, 1 returned to the door with the borrowed pall. No need of rapping this time.

'Quiet 1ife1" she said witb some empbasla. "Just plain nature1" "Yee just too much so, so much so that we want to get away from it all, and be natural.". Somewhat surprised at her expres- sions, especially the "be natural,' I had always thought that if there was any place where a person could be natural it was on the farm, The Monotony of Farm Living. 1 asked, "Why do you want to get away 7" She replied, "We have no life here. My husband and 1 get up at five o'clock every morning. He at once goes to the barns to feed the stock, while 1 get the breakfast and attend the poultry. We hurry through breakfast, and then he rushes away to the barn or fields, returning at noon for one halt hour in which to eat his dinner. Atter dinner he is away again until napper time, when he returns tired from work in the Melds, pretty well worn by the long monotonous day of heavy labor. As for me, why, 1 attend the house work.

After hearing that little ser monette, 1 unconsciously started for the car that 1 had left standing on the roadway. Coming to my senses after a time, 1 began to think, just what there was in what the lady of the farm home had to say, and re- peated to myself her words, "No chance to exercise my tongue, so much silence."' ,Perhaps, after a11, the farm ,s too lonely a place for the average wo- man of to -day, and with the trend of modern 11•ving it will be a more lonesome place in.the future unless something happens to change ideas and ideals.

Of apples we lutuurtdd 166,201 barreie worth $776,819. They weren't alt early apples either, ror 30,028 barrels were bruuget in during March. During the year we imported: Berries, 8114,- 892; cherries, $83,349; cranberries, 4412,694; grapes, $661,143; peaches, 9403,312; pears,666.729; plums, 4303,496, and' strawberries, 9766,- 150; a total of $2.997,088. Add to this 91,766,522 for dried apples, apri- cots, peaches, plums and prunes, and 8492.828 for canned peaches, lellfee and jams and importe0 fruits and fruit juices being ;26.409,236, be/ sides an item of 43,728,476 for nuts. tiucb or ibis was, of course. for sub- tropical fruits, hut some of these might be substituted, to our financial dud gustatory advantage, -by home grown products. For instance, we might eat more roast apples and few- er oranges. While dealing with mat- ters borticultural a bill for $1,064,- 311 for planta, shrubs, trees and vines might be mentioned. Coming to vegetables, our total bill for the fresh article was $3,576,070. of which cabbage accounted for $187,689. onions for $487,009, Dote - :ors for $637,291 and tomatoes for 6985,941, a total for these four tom- iionly grown articles of 82,177,930. 01 canned vegetables we imported .626,210 worth; of sauces, catsups .add pickles. $518.660. Our total out- lay for vegetables and vegetable pro- ducts reached the considerable sum of nearly $5,000,000. • We have a great dairying country in Canada, yet we purchased abroad during.•the year $1,844,212 worth of milk and its products. This included 61,349.819 for 3,767,573 lbs. of but- ler, $327,022 for 916,517 lbs. of cheese, $46,387 for condensed milk, •132,710 for casein, and even $28,274 aur sweet milk ano cream. Our but- ter importations were auppiemented by 1,155,440 lbs., of imported oleo- margarine. ' Our foreign grain bill amounted to 'x11,276.682, though this included $7,698.280 for feed corn, and 92,020,590 for rice, of which 18,000,- 000 lbs. came from China. Milled products cost us $685,895, and pre- pared foods and bakery products an- other $500,000, Our total imports under the head Agricultural and Vegetable Pro- cucta, Mainly Food" came to the rather startling total of 9108,701,- 762. We could hardly be expected. uowever, to produce our Own tea, coffee and spices, though we might considerably reduce our sugar bill, which now amounts to approximately 940,000,000 a year, by growing more beets. We also imported $20,936,298 worth of alcoholic beverages, which, as we all know, are mostly derived from the products of the farm. 11 Stay be, however, that some of our exported grains and. fruits returned to us in Oats highly manufactured form.—R. D. Colquette, Dept. of Agicuitural Economics, O. A. C. Guelph. The Mystery of Nitrogen. Since animal life must depend upon plant life for its support, we must first learn how nitrogen gets from the air into the plant. Every :arm boy has seen the grain turn yellow at times In, the very early spring and especially that which was growing in the dead furrows of the fields. Thls occurs largely because there isn't enough nitrogen in the right form for the plants to get at this time of the year. As a single element existing alone, neither ani- mals nor the green plants can use nitrogen, and yet the air is the source of the entire supply for all Ole. 1f we go back into history of Ro- man agriculture, we will 'find that even the fanners of that time knew enough to grow legumes., liven though all of this was known, 1t was not until 1887 that the reason for it was discovered. Then it was that 'the .little swellings always found on the roots of legumes were discovered to contain countless numbers of min- ute forms of life, now known as bac- ,j,,eria. Later it was learned that these ";tile workers had a great deal to do with keeping the soil in nt condition for the growing of crops, for they`, in their magic way of living, are cap- able of taking the nitrogbn out of the air that is lti, the soil and making It become a part of the soil com- pounds. in this way we have the cheapest means of keeping up the nitrogen supply of the soil.—Hoard's Dairyman.

' IDEAL AGE TO MARRY BETWEEN 21 AND 24 What is the ideal age for men and women to marry? The Daily News publishes the comments of two emin- ent authorities on the facts revealed by the recently issued statistical re- view of the registrar -general for 1921 that 21 for girls and 24 for men aro the years at which the largest num- ber of marriages take place in Eng- land. I think it is the misfortune of the middle classes," says Dr. Marie St Stopca, "that owing to their profes- sional duties and training they can- not Marry of the right and proper age,,' Dr. Stopes expressed the view that the youthfulness of the majority in- dicated by the returns is largely clue to the fact that the working class are in the majority in this country and can marry earlier than their pro- fession brethren. In regard to the popular belief that people were tending to marry later in life nowadays, Dr. Stopes said that was\ due to the fact that the iniddle class formed public opinion.

SUMMER CARE OF POULTRY - There is a tendency among some people to believe that poultry do not require any special care duringthe summer months, and may be alowed practically to shift for themselves. While it is true that conditions are more favourable for growing stock, and for egg production in adult stock yet at no time of the year is more care necessary to prevent disease and vermin than during the warm sum- mer months. Poultry kept in dose. stuffy sleeping quarters cannot .be kept in the beat condition of health. and are fit subjects for the ravages of lice and mites. It would be much better to have wire netting put in place of the glass windows in order that more fresh air might circulate in the house. _ A very strict watch moat be kept for. any evidence of lice -or mites as soon as warm weather commences. if lice are present on the birds, treat each bird individually with some Bine Mercury' ointment, or some reliable dusting powder, and if red mites are present on the perches or walls, the birds should be removed from the house for a day or two, and the build- ing thoroughly fumigated, ,followed by a really good cleaning of every part of the interior. A thorough oc- casional white -washing of the whole interior of the house will make the place more sanitary. Poultry con- fined to yards where there is no na- tural shade from the hot rays of the sun, should be provided with shelter, of some sort; sunflowers or,artichokes planted in the yards and protected until they get a start, will provide most excellent shelter from the sun. Colony houses scattered through an orchar' or cornfield make a very de- sirable place for the growing stock. Filthy drinking vessels are the cause of a great many troubles in the poultry yards. Plenty of pure drink- ing water, which is kept in clean ves- sels in a sheltered place will benefit the stock to a large extent. Be sure that the young growing stock are well fed, to promote growth and that they are given liberal range where there is abundance of green. feed and also animal feed in the form of insects, worms, etc. Cull out the old stock that you do not intend to keep over for another year, and sell them early while the price is higher and while they are in good condition before they commence to moult IIIIIMIE11111111111==1111111111011111111111141M1111111015=1 The Suer Salesman —Long Distance "In one afternoon we sold $760,000 worth of bonds by Long Distance telephone" -- says a banker.
