McConkey, Field •Husbandry Dent 0.A.C., 'Guelph. - These cropS furnish the cheapest feed far live- stock in winter and summer. There is a heavy inweittment fat:seed, and it is important, especially under pres- ent war .oanclitions, that .every pre- caution be taken in seeding ands cult- ivation to raise producing crops of thigh feeding value of hay and pas- ture in order to produce livestock products at low cost. . Having a soil test .made and apply manure and the required fert'iliter be- fore seeding, as pear .catchesi are of- ten traced to soils low in fertility and organic mutter, advises Dr. MeCon- key. The minerals, lime, potash and, es- pecially phas,pherus are very iratiort- ant in securing a good catch. • Buildup the .soil ,organic matter which holds moisture around the young seedlings over critical periods. Sow on a clean, fine,,firrn, moist • seed bed.,. • The depth of seeding is important The ismall s,eeds, Timothy, Alsike, Red Clever, require to be 'seeded shallow, not more than on inch in depth, while the larger seieds, Alfalfa, Orchard Grass and Brome, can he seeded through the drill mixed' with the .grain. . In dry seasons and on dry soil ypes, or 'in the 'heavy clay regions', deep seeding is often the most suc- cessful. A good method in these eas- es is to seed the large seeds, Allan, Orchard or •Brome through the .driIi• with the grain and broadcast the Thnothy, Re4(1. 'Glower, and. Aisike in the !ordinary Way from the grasseseed- er attachment. • Firm the seed bed before the drill and after, if Siiieciess•ary, with a roller or better still a eultipacker. Bxperi- ments haVe shown that Cie .operation f firming the soil is Very important, increasing the Stand imore than 30 per cent. Nurse ,eraps 'should be sown light- ly because heavy overhead crops 'com- pete with and shade out 'the young seedlings. The light riunse crop of 1 to 1% bushels of oats may. be harvested for grain o,r cut early 'forhay er..green feed, which gives the .seedlings good chance early in the :season.

TO DESTROY WEEDS The destruction 'of annual ' weeds in the .sieedling stage by the use of the weeder or harrow has :much to coin - mend it, says John D. MacLeod, Cres,Seeds and Weed' Branch., On- tario Department of Agricultnre. A weeder is preferred but the lever liar_ row or diamond toothed harrow may be used With •care. When spring grain crops and fall wheat which have not been seeded down are un 2 to 4 inches the weed- er may be used, preferably with the rows, in the afternoon when plants are not so brittle, This stirring of the ;surface soil 'breaks the crust, forms a mulch, thereby cementing moisture. and 'destroys' many annual weeds in the seedling stage. This method sheath& never be employed im- mediately following a- rain. The weed population in hoed ernliS snob ,ate earn and potatoes may be redueed ;to aJ minimum by the use of the weedier ior harrow soon after planting and continued until the crop Is three to four inches high. The weedier may even be used on sugar 'beetri, mangels and turnips just after they are up in the - and will prove very • 'helpful In controlling weeldls without injuring the •erop. This method is a practical oiie which has been adopted by many farmers throughout the Prbvinee with excellent results. P%v'o laboirersi were talking.

The magnetic mine was invented by ap, American . neutral scientist. Astir Marshall; in '11916. A British patent was granted in 1918. If mod- ern 'authorities had smutted, the archives of the London patent Offices they would have known the main de- tails of this "new" engine of de.struc- tion without having had to wait to find. a whole sample in British coastal waters. • Ln Parliantent, Mr. Wtnstk,n Church - • First Lord of the Admiralty, has described athe steps taken to master the danger ass "a detective story, writtem ini a language of its own. - Certainly, Sherlock Holmes might have been well proud of such a speedy solutfon to so unexpected and momentous a probtem.

The paravane, variously called Pat - seam, otter gear, and Burney gear, was developed by Lieut. C. D. Bur- ney of the British Navy during 1915 and 1916.. It was placed iu quantity production early , in 1917. • As with malty other war inven- tions, the pasavainte, threagheut the war, ;was supposed to be a great -sec- ret, and the name. ,was uttered with bated•••-bcreettli. This camouflage was carried to the extreme of calling the paravarnes installed on merchant sihtps, "letter gears." And even after thousands of merchantmen had been equipped with them, matters involv- ing paravanes continued to be regard- ed as conlidientiat The device 'consists of a torpedo-. shaped body about 12 . feet long, fit- ted with vertical vanes or plraues, so set thrat the paravane tends to sheer away .etem the ship and exerts a con- stant pull en the steel tow eine which is. a -raze -hied to a fitting at the bottom of the vessels forefoot:-, Paravanes come in pairs, mw for use on either side of the ship. Paravanes are usually set to run. at depths Of 5 feet More than the draft of the vessels with which. they are being ;Used., 35 feet being the maxi- mum depth, at Whiett„ they are used. The depth at which a paravane runs is controlled by a horizontal rudder that is operated by hydrosta- tic pressureopposing a compression spring, set to the • pressure of the head of water that exists at the depth it is desired the paravane shall run. When the paravane is at the set depth, the water and spring pees,: sures • are equalized and no rudder movement results. The vertical :vane of a • paravane hes at its top and bottom.,-fieSpee- tively, a float and a weight, both of which are ellipsoids of equal size. When the paravane is at feet on the surface, the weight and the -float maintain the vane in a. nearly verti- cal position, so that ,immediately the paravane begins to he towed, it will pull away from the Ship and keep the tow line taut In a direction that is diagonal ,tio the course of -the ves- sel, and at the same Vine the horiz- coital rudder brings the patavane to the set depth. The taw .1ine is'ettaehed to a para-, vane 44, a de -Vice- called the cutter - head, a strong steel tasting that has aesflot fitted'with, saw teeth ' When a ship iequipped with para- vaidesIS steaming ahead, the para - vanes, with their tow lines leading outboard and aft from the bottom of the vesSeVs, stem, form a': wedge that extends wellbeyond both 'sides of the ship. Should a moored ,mine be encountered, the tow line deflects it away from the ship by causing the minses mooring line to slide. toward the pats -vane. When the mooring line reachesthe paravane, it slides into the slot in the cutter -head, where it is severed, permitting the mine 'to be destroyed when, it floats to the surface. The stem of a -vessel that is steam- ing ahead is preceded by a ,s4ight bulge of w-ater that u,sually has en- ough fore to deflect a mine, encoun- feeed heaid-on. :slightly to one side, where it is caught and further de- flected by the paravane's tow line. Several, expedient methods of at.. laohin.g paravane tow lines to. a ves- sel's forefoot were eleyelepted .during the World War, bet afl Men-of-war and many merchantmen now have permanent fittings for this purpose The mine is a very destructive weapon, because it usually eel:a:Odes directly under a ship, where the full force of the 'detonateon, is exerted against the ship's structure with de- vastating effect. Any device that affords a stip pro- tection against Mines iis of inestim- able value, and foe this reason the paravane proved to be, a very success- ful eonceptiont. During 'the Wlarld IT'S ALWAYS DEPENDAB . ••• War, veslels and 'cargoes valued at many millions weae patteeted from mine damage by their pamvanes. The potential value of these ships was fax more than their value in meneer. When Britain, in May, 1917, adopt- ed the convoy system in a desperate effort to :Minter the dievastating un- restatotedl submarine warfare, its shipping was being sank at the rate Of 217,000 tops a week.
