A great many tons of mangols, turs nips and carrots are lost annually by neglect, after being placed in storage, Everything may be done to insure a full erop and to harvest it at the pros per time in good condition, yet, if not properly looked after during the Win- ter monthe, a high percentage of this crop note become a total loss. Suck loss than be prevented only byeerompt attention to the detellis oe storage re. eitirements. If n cellar Is to be used for storage It should be thoroughly cleaned, the ventilators put into good 'working or- der, and thorough drainage and, pro- tectiou erom frost assured some time before it le filled Usually in filling manors it Is customary to dump the roots down through a trap door in the floor above ,or roll them in over a shoot from wiudows at the ground level. No matter how much care Is exorcised in the performance or -either 02 these operations, there is bound to b accumulations of broken and bruis- ed roots and earth at the ends of the shoots, or beneath the trap dors, Un- less frozen, the broken and leadly bruised roots, in elude a, mixture, will invariably rot and by so doing genet. - ate heat that will 'help to epread the infection to the surrounding roots. It is, therefore, obvious that aocumula- tions of this nature should be thole oughly eleaned out as soon as possible after the harvest has been completed, and the damaged roots fed ,before they have had a chance to decay, Frequently, during the winter menthe, rotting will start arnong ap- parently sound roots, usually as the result of an unsound root .becoming buried among the others. Infection spreads rapidly among rootel in stor- age, and all such infected areas should be thoroughly cleaned out wheneVer •detected. All classes of roots lose a certain amount of moisture soon after har- vest, by evaporation, or, as it is com- ialonly called, sweating. If an ade- quate circulation of air among the roots has not been provided for, this moisture will condense and wet places will be formed which will favor the growth of moulds and other plant life, which may directly or indirectly cause rotting. It is therefore, imper- ative that during the first feev weeks ot storage, and in fact whenever the outside weather permits, thorough yen. illation be maintained, The temperature in the cellar should be such that the roots will neither grow to any appdeciable extent, nor yet freeze. Fronl freezing to 40 de - greets F. may be considered as the extreme range. it is an excellent plan to hang a thermometer in a convenient place in the cellar and con- ault it daily. If the temperature is above say 38 degrees F. the ventil- ators should be opened and, when it drops sufficiently' -closed. When the warm weather of spring and early eummer has set in, it is advisable to keep the ventilaors dosed during the day and open during the night, so as to admit all the c,00l air, thus keeping the cellar cool as long as pos- sible. If roots are to be pitted outside, it is essential that thorough drainage is assured ,either by choosing a location on sloping or sandy land, or by pro - ' ,siding artificial drainage. "'sifter the roots have been piled and the ventilators inserted the pile should be dovered only with straw to a depth of about eight -inches. Later In the season, when cooler weather has set in, about four inehes of earth should be placed over the straw. Still later, when this earth has become frozen to a, depth of about two inches, another covering of straw and earth should be made. When cold weather has finally set in the ventilators should be plugged with straw. If the pit has been properly con - ;greeted and covered correctly, there if little danger of the roots rotting, As a precaution, however, it is acidiss able to hang a thermometer In every bocond ventilator and to consult it oc- catsionally. If the tenmerature in the git gets higher than 45 degrees P. it is evident that heating is taking place, and the pit should be opened and the Infector area thoroughly cleaned out. In the spring the layers of cohier- ing should be gradually removed, the ventilators opened and, generally epeaking, the protection, modified to butt the rising teniperature, KEEP BEES WARM. The winter loss of bees is worm. outs; the average is from one-tenth to one-half of the colonies, and the loss can be prevented if proper winter eerotection is given. A temperature of about 57 degrees F. should be maintained. When the temperature falls below this point tho bees form a cluster and generate heat by raussoular activity, and those on the outside crowd together to prevent the heat escaping. Prolonged heat pro- duction exhausts their vitality, and. even if they survive the winter they are unfit for brood rearing in the epring.

Black, or more correctly, stem -rust, Is the most de- structive of all rust diseases in Can- ada, as it chiefly affects the important wheat crop; but it also attacks mite, barley and rye. Stem rust has two stages on grain, the red and the black stage; another stage in the life his- tory of this rust towers on the bar- berry. For a more detailed account of this disease consult the Bulletin on Black or Stem Rust of Grain, pub- uished by the Department of Agricul- ture (Publications Branch), The lessee from rust may be considerably reduced by closely observing the fol- lowing principal recommendations: 1, Choice of Land.—Avoid wet land or provide thorough drainage, which increases vigor and yield. Vigorous plants are less liable to attack. 2, Seed Bed.—The careful prepare - tion of the seed bed is an important consideration; a warm, well -ventilated soil, with even, smooth surface en- courages uniform germination, in- creases the root system, and aids rapid growth to early inaturity. Any cultural method that lenc1s! to increase rigor and strong growth will lessen losses from rust. 3. Itotation.—Crop rotation increases vigor and yield of all crops. Continu- ous wheat cropping produces weedy farm, wastes soil fertility and favors disease. 4. Weeds.—Weeds impoverish soil. Impoverished soil is undesirable for any drop. Practise thorough weed eradication, thus aiding the grain crop. 5. Seed.—All seed must be treated for smut, but no known method of seed treatment will check rust. Of foremost importance, be the soil or weather conditions what they may, is the tree of superior seed grain of strong bermlnation. 4 Shrivelled or light seeds, old seed grain of low ger- mination or' frosted grain 'should not be steed. 6. Early sowing is highlY desirable. Early sown grain often escapes rust injury altogether, and, generally speaking, is far lees liable to rust attack. • 4, MAIM CORNS urr WITHOUT ANY PAIN Takes the eling right out—cleans 'em right off without pain.

STIFF TRAINING OF AN AVIATOR Finished R. F. C. Flier Pass. es in Six Months. Spine of His Studies Are Described. Each week that passes sees a new batch of young men granted commis- sions in the Royal Flying Corps, men who posseas the dash that disregards danger, men whose hearts have res- ponded to the rollicking call of ad- venture. The training that has made fullsfiedged aviators of these men from green cadets—in any cases after a course lasting less than six months —has a thoroughness, •Interest and fascination that stamp it as unique even among all the novelties that the war has forged. In Canada the man who would fly is sent for about six weeks to the School of Military Aeronautics, held in the halls of the University of To- ronto. He begins at this ground schoel With gaining an understanding of engines. Then comes the theory of flight, including the planes them- selves and the principles of differ- ent types, the mysteries of the rig- ging that holds the wings in place and how to repair it. The student must learn enough of astronomy to steer his course at night by the stars. Then he must know how to operate a camera under' unusual cOnditiene, and how to read the meaning of a naile- high photograph, The classes study tepogra.phieal maps from the tops of sieteerisfoot laddere in lieu Of look- ing donut en the earth front two miles up, Upon these maps the instructors Iodate batteries and give problems in spotting.

As 'soon as his skill warrants it, the cadet is allowed to direct the con.trois himself, always subject to the check of the instruc- tor, in order that he may learn with safety just how to manage the wings, rudder and engine. This early prac- tice consists largely of short flights with many starts and landings, the most difficult phase of flying. Then when the cadet has shown himself a master of these principles, he goes up alone in the air for the first time. He is watched with the most Infinite care .by the instructors below, eurroundecl seith the most rig- id instructions to, prevent accidents, and fully coached upon landing as to any errors he may have made. BY the end of his instruction he is doing the snore simple evolutions at a height of ten thousand feet or soaring off on thirty -mile cross-country flights. By this time he will have completed the tests, and will receive his commission as an officer of the Royal Flying Corps, and will be ready to go abroad to the great flying Heide on the other side for his final training in the more comple xevc't itons and in squadron formation. R.F.C. AVIATORS TRAINED SHOTS *sommoop Cadets Get Best ,Schooling of Any Service. Strange Ways of Teaching Described. Vrobablei no soldier on the firing line in France receives a more thor- ough training in marksmanship and the use of machine guns than the mans who soars above the battle line In the owlet, far -darting scout aero- plane. His very value as a fighting; machine is measured almost entirely by his shill in using the Lewis or Vicker's gun with which his aeroplane is equipped. Consequently long be- fore a dadet in the IRoyal Flying Carps has mastered flight he begins to learn to sight both of these deadly weep-, one. He studies the mechanism and construction closely—knows them so completely that in the moments of combat he will not be at a loss when his gun jams, because he has been taught to adjust it almost automati- cally in a few seconds. Every aspirant to the great privi- lege of fighting the nation's battle above the clouds first learns the use of the machine gun—his only weapon of offence—by target practice on the ground. The guns are fitted with compensating sights, which in actual air fights allow for the speed of both speed of both aeroplanes. Special tar- gets hare been devised to test the ca- det's aim through these sights,. To quicken the eye, every cadet also takes practice in shooting clay pige- ons. Tho *modern scout machines, incred- ibly swift machines. which hover above the lines, driving off the pry- ing eyes of the enemy—carry Vicker's machine guns. These guns are fixed. To aim them the aviator must aim the aeroplane To train cadets in this unusual method of 'shooting, a chair was invented called the "Reeking Nacelle." This device is moved about like the aeroplane with rudder and "joy stick." If anything aiming the "Rocking Nacelle" is more diffi- cult than the actual aeroplane. Aiming at pictures of aeroplanes painted on the grouna or at towed tar- gets in the air, fighting duels with other cadets by means of camera guns which register hits on a photographic film, and chasing miniature balloons are other methods followed to make every aviator who goes into active service a first-class marksman filled with every confidence ia his skill in using the machine ann. And these "sports" are but one phase of the many interesting studies the cadet in the Royal Flying Corps takes up. His training also inductee a e coMplete comes° in map -reading, and he must also become a past -master in the use of wireless telegraphy, for both them features of his training are essential when he is called upon to direct artil- lery fire.

(j, Harry Wolsieffer in Philadelpnia Record.) In no other line of work do those who enter it follow their own incline, tions and hobbles so much as in poul- try, and in a majority of cases it means failure uutil the poultry -keeper turns to the well-known methods that have )made success. Chickens to mature properly at the differeet ages of pro- fit, the broiler, rcaster and layer, must be kept growing every day, To obtain the most profit there must be no setbacks for each time the chick's growth is retarded through the lack of proper care it means so much longer to reach maturity. Many who raise poultry, and especially during tho first two years of their experience, wonder why they can not turn out the broilers, roasters and layers at the ago that is common to the breed they raise. The only answer to this is that the fault lays with the operator in neglecting SUMO or the, essentiale. that go toward making good growth during the growing period of the chick. In the first place, quality fowls can- not be made from cull parent stock. The foundation stock must be up to standard weight and shape, and come from good egg -producing lines. In- cubating and brooding must be accom- plished in the proper uaanner. A poor- ly -hatched chick can never amount to very much. 'With the up-to-date in- cubator and brooder no great trouble should be experienced in properly hatching and brooding the chicks from good parent stock, and in many cases even with those starting in poultry the chicks get off to a flying start and thrive for the first ten days to four weeks. It is here with the half-grown chicks, well past the so-called danger mark of chickhood, that the operator fails to attend to the entioutials that are so important. Most flocks are overcrowded. To cut down expenses the growing stock is crowded in poultry quarters much too small, and this evil is many times car- ried to the matured, fowls, where only two and two and one-half square feet of floor space are allowed each chic, - ken, when from three to four and a half square feet should be allowed. Naturally, tvhen the chicks aro but half-growu the poultry quarters are large 'enough, but as they increase in size and are not divided into proper - sized flocks, then comes the harm from over -crowding. So the wise poultry keeper will see teat this first essen- tial is complied with if good results are to be obtained, that of roomy quarters with plenty of venhiintion for the growing stock. In the matter of feed, the poultry raiser is confronted by problems that did not bother the operators of former years—that of wartime prices on grains that are necessary to promote the rapid growth of chicks and older fowls, such as wheat, corn and oats. It will be false economy to use any feed that will not make good growth, or to eanderfeed the stock that the growtei will be retarded. The sooner the poultry is sold on the open mar - 0.7=111.61==i0M.

To dispose of all males not fit for future breeders as soon as they come to marketable age is the best thing to do for both the poultry keeper's pro- fit and the welfare of the rest of the flock. The essentials to follow close for best results, are first, good quarters that the growing poultry may be as comfortable as possible during the hot days and nights; clean, wholesome feed that will promote good growth; give enough to keep the chicks grow, ing; clean water and renewed often, so that the poultry will not be com- pelled to drink warm water; avoid overcrowding. keeping in mind that this year and for years to come the winner in the poultry industry will be the man or woman with quality stock.

This means that the digestion is in working order and that the blood Is in good condition. But if you feel a dislike for food—if the sight aud emelt of wholeeome food repels you—then you may be sum that all Is not well.' If after a night's rest you have no appetite for breakfast. your digastion requircs attention. It your food is (lista:Octet, or if you feel that it is a trouble to cat, your stom- ach is rebelling. You do not tligeet premerly the food you are taking and therefore not hungry. All these symptoms of a disordered digestion mean that the blood ie not abeorbing proper nourishment from toed, for the work of the blood is to collect proper nourishment from food ana impart it to the syotem. The stomach tries to refuse food, the nutri- ment from which the blood cannot ab• eorb, and this caueee the lack of appe- tite.

Of ali•the many weapons wad to this war that strike the public mind as novelties—the submarine, Make, hand-bolobing, airplanes, flame -throw- ing, poison gasses—there is really not one so ttaique, so powerful and yet as little Commented upon as the use made ot the camera by tee flying mon. Thrce years ago the British had made no provision for acrophote- graphy. Casual experomente with the careolia before the war wore abandon- ed as valuelesa. To- ; florer a battle and scarcely ever 0 ima 10 undemakee without an elaborate photography of the enemy's delencese netore w0 nat- tlo ef Cambral aeroplanes soared obicI'vt°1ayasndtabkeihnignathtehuesanednselny's ofmil 1145- pictures of the territory to Ise tinder attack, It is no exaggeration to SRY that rapidly as the aeroplane has develop- ed un.der the exigenclee of war, the camera and the puotograpiiic labora- tory have kept pace, with it. Tee number of trained impute UONV en- gaged in this branch or the British Service alone runs into four figures. So progressive and efficient hew this organization become that an observe.? moving over the enemy lines in an aeroplane has been known to return to headquarters, ban % print taisen showing troops lining a trench, and bring shell fire to bear on the enemy's; concentration within eighteen mint -nee froru the taking of the photogrepn. Thus the camera, allied with the aeroplane, has become one of the met powerful weapons now used in the war. It is a dependable, infallible in- former of all enemy nuivemeats. Un- der the microscope the photograpb reveals seifrete that even the trained eye of an observer might never pene- trate. And it makes a permanent re- cord, whiCh may be studied any time at leisure and in a place, of eafety. No detail escapee' notice. It picks dirt items often of great :significance which ne lauman eye can detect—reports every change in the landscape made by enemy engineers of camouflage do - It is in attempting to pry into enemy secrets that the airman often meets his greatest thrills. Pieces of enemy military construction thet arouse the suspicions of the intelli- gence officer must be photographed, If the construction is of any impor- tance the Hun will bave a neat of anti-aircraft guns planted and battle - planes held in readinees to drive away any 13ritish machines. Naterally it takes nerve for an airman to go out on such a nussion. But it has become a point of honor with squadronsof the Royal Flying Corps to get every pbotograph they are ordered to get. Upon a single photograph may depend the success of a whole operation in- volving weeks of planning and hun- dreds of lives. To be successful in this work an aviator must, of course, have courage. But he must have more. He must be .surficient in map reading. ale must ue familiar with many tricks and tac- tics of :Tying. He must have confi- dence in his ability to handle hie =chin -0 gun no less than his skill in using the camera.
