Nilson Macdonald Celebrated
• CauathatiNet in Seaforth
Spoke To Pupils and Others
at Collegiate on Tuesday;
Is At Present on Lecture
Tour.
(Mr: Wilson Macdonald,. the 'cele-
brated Canadian poet, gave a very
fine address on Peetry in the As-
s'em'bly Hall of the Collegiate Insti-
tute at eleven o'clecle 'on, Tuesday
forenoon, May 17th, to which the
pupils and a few friends had the rare
privilege of listening. Mr. Macdon-
ald who is- a versatile and Anent,
speaker, is one Of the poets 'who in
recent years, has gained outstanding -
distinction'. He is also a successful
inventor, clever musician and, ac-
complished magielara (His published
works include "Songs of the Prairie,"
"The Miracle Songof Jesus," "Out
of the Wilderness,, "A Flagon of
BeautY" and "The Caw Caw Bal-
lads," books which have won him
international fame, THs first . poem
waseaeublished in 1898.
',Canada, the speaker said, has pro-
• duced some of the greatest poetry
•that has eveer'leeen (produced -poetry
as fine as any in England. Masefield,
the great English poet, said he never
would have written a line of poetry
if it had not been for the influence
of D-uncan Campbell .S'cott. The Can-
adian Government and universi-
ties, however, have not • given
the recognition • to e• Canadian
writers that they' should. Canadian,
he said, should be proud of their
poets. He mentioned Charles lieavy.-
sage, Tom MeInnis, the greatest poet
• in Western Canada, and a number of
others. "You have -one of them," he
said, "Miss H. Isabel Graham, whom
I know. You are leMored to have
her in your town." He pointed
out that rhyme is not riecessacily an
essential of real poetry. The Master
of Nazareth, he said, was a poet. His
words: "Come unto Me, all ye that
are weary and heavy laden, and I
will give you rest," is one of the
noblest poems of 'all time, because of
its magnificient rhythm.
Mr. Macdonald,. who has travelled
125,000 miles, has never seen ;beauty
that surpasses •the scenery of the
North couhtry, There is nothing in
the Islands of 'Greece equal to it. He
delighted the audience by reciting a•
•number of his own PpemS„ "Weise
Whee,' one of °the most exquisite
poems that has ever been written,
which was made more interesting by
the story of a little •Scotch girl, Dee
McKay, who was a favorite of his in
Vancouver, and whose death sug-
gested it; "The Song of the Ski,' -
some Caw Caw Ballads, which are
cleeer satires on political and other
grafters, and amusing 'poems, such
as "Granny;" '"I've Done Qiilt Steal-
ing" "Maggie Swartz," which receiv-
ed hearty encores. A poem, "Upton
Wood," a gruesome but most realiitre
poem, based on actual fast, and "Im-
manence," one of the finest numbers.
From here he went to Goderich td
give a recital.
• BRUCEFIELD
'Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, of Bayfield,
visited at the home of ,.mre. W. Stev-
ens last week.
Nurse Mary IMCDonald went to
Port Credit last week to the home
of Mr, and Mrs. W. C. Landsborough.
The many friends of Mrs. Lauds -
borough will regret to hear that she
is still seriously ill.
The monthly meetingefeete'e W. M.
5, was held on May lith, with a
good attendance. The devotional ex-
ercises were conducted by the presi-
dent, Mrs. (Rev.) W. A. Bremner.
The supply secretary, Miss , Helen
Tough, read a letter from Mrs. Coxey
of Blyth, regarding the bale of goods
which the Auxiliary is asked to send
to the West in June. A committee
was appointed to purchase the goods,
after which interesting reports were
read by Miss Mamie Swan and Miss
Jean Murdock, the delegates who at-
tended the Presbyterial, which was
held in Wingham last month. The
ladies thanked the society for send-
ing them as they enjoyed the confer-
enee so much. Interesting • leaflets
were read by several of the ladies
on prayer, after which there was a
season of short prayers: The meet-
ing closed with the 'singing of the
hymn, "Breathe on Me, Breath of
God."

Sweet ClOVet as Manure •
During recent yeati many farmers
have ,been growing sweet clover in
rotation with potatoes. A full crop
of sweet clover plowed under may be
eonside.red worth as much as 25 to 30
tons of barnyard manure. Where
farmers have plenty of manure a-
vallable it may not be desirable to
grow sweet clover for the purpose of
plowing it down, but where the man-
ure supply is limited it has been pro-
fitable to follow the above plan of ac-
tion. The most essential -precautions
to be observed in growing sweet clov-
er sr( to. make sure that the soil is
n acid, that it is well enough drain-
ed to prevent heaving and that the
seed is inoculated.
Treating Seed Potatoes. '
Naturally, the aim of theopotato
grower is,to produce the biggest and
best crop at the lowest possible cost.
This is dependent upon a number of
factors such as good soil, quality of
seed, spraying and cultivation. While
the importance ,o4, these features is
unquestioned, very often the prospect
of a good crop is ruined through neg-
lect to practise seed treatment which
is aimed to reduce the enormous loss-
es and inconvenience caused by scab,
black leg and rhiioctonia, all of which
occur in every province of Canada.
The commonest method used to treat
seed potatoes is formalin treatment.
A solution of one pound of formalin
to 40 gallons of water is inadeup and
pieced in a barrel. The seed pota-
toes, uncut, are -placed in a sack and
suspended in the liquid for two hours
when the bag is pulled up and the
solution allowed to drain back into
the barrel. Then the seed may be
cut and planted.
Soya Beans
An effort is being made to estab-
lish a mill at 'Chatham to handle soya
beans and to market the products
thereof. Meetings hive been held
to interest farmers of Kent and Es-
sex in growing geya beans to supply
this factory. It is well known that
the district is especially adapted to
the growing o f soya beans and a
market for the products is establish-
ed with a demand that at present en-
tails the yearly importation of six
million pounds of bean oil alone.
A Problem With Chicks
One of the, big problems in con-
nection with raising i chicks' is can-
nibalism,. when •chicks pick at the
feathers .and flesh of their mates.
Recent studies indicate that this is
more likely to occur where the
chicks in brooders are exposed to
direct sunlight. Direct rays of the
sun should not be allowed to come
into the room in which the chicks are
carried in brooders. Artificial light-
ing is proving satisfactory and it
should be so arranged as •to cost no
shadows. Ventilation is important,
and provision should.be made for the
cold air to come in at the top through
an opening near the ceiling, but car?
must be taken to deflect this cold
air so that it will be properly heated
before coming in contact with the
chicks

The Advanced Registry policy has
been operating for three years, but.
comparatively few" Ontario breeders
have, up to the present, taken ad-
vantage of , it. They now have an.
added incentive to do so.
• Corn Helps
• Quality torn either for silage or -
for husking is the result of 'suitable
seed and' suitable preparation of the
soil. Ontario growers of corn for
husking purpose are warned that
planting this crop later than the end
of the first week in June may pre-
vent its ripening. Tests have beeu
conducted at the 0. A. C. relative to
different dates of •planting coupled.
with fertilization with high phosphate
fertiliZers. Records obtained show
that a week's delay in planting could
be largely overcome by the use of
suitable fertilizers. Fertilizers of art
analysis of 2-12-6 or 3-10--5 us-
ed at the rate 01%500 pounds per acre
at the time of planting, have been
found to hasten the ripening of the
crop at least a week.
It is a well ,known fact,that corn
well advanced toward ripening makes
a richer quality of ensilage than does
green corn with white immature
ears. Growers of this crop for silage
purposes can increase the total
weight per acre and also greatly im-
prove the feeding quality of corn by
proper regulation of manuring and.
fertilizing.
Approved Chicks in Demand.
A heavy demand for approved
chicks is reported this spring, with,
the result that many of the approved
liateheries'have orders booked which
are taxing their capacity. May
chicks mean November cheeks and
that slogan is one which seems to
have taken hold of the farmer's -fan-
cy.
A review of the egg market in
Canada during recent years shows
that the higher prices prevail' during
the late fall and early winter months
before the flush of general production
comes in. That is why the farmer
who buys • approved chicks early in.
the season has a .better prospective
cash crop for the end of the year,
than the farmer who hatches his own
chicks later in the Season. The uni-
formity of production and the high
quality assured by government in-
spection and. supervision Which con-
trols the hatching of approved chicks
is one of the biggest assets in the de-
veeoprpent of a poultry flock.
The cash returns from a pullet
flocks of from 120 to 300 approved
chick's are a welcome and useful
asset at a time of the year when
other crops haves passed. Many
chicks become pullet m•ocluiceis in
November, and raising chicks this
month is a much -easier proposition
than raising March and April chicks.
