USE eSORE FERTILIZER TO KEEP
MORE LIV4 STOCK.
Ask almoet any live stock man why
he keeps live stock and he will be
pretty sure to give as one of his main
reasons, "Live stock keeps the soil
rich." And in almost any coraimmity
the live Stock farms will sell for more
than others because the lertility is
Usually better maintained.
Thie reasoning eatisfied the live
stock Man of the past, but the modern
busintee stockman and dairyman is
beginning to look closer into the mat-
ter. 'He is asking, "Is there anything
elee that I can do to make my farm
evert More profitable?" That is the
vital celestion.

Podr worn out farms near Eastern

commercial fertilizers. The land was
brokenine and planted the first year
to potatoes, millet, soy beans, corn and
a combination of oats and peas. These
crops Were all thoroughly fertilized
with quicIdy available plant•food. The
potatoes brought in some ready

wintered the live stock. The manure
was returned to the, soil to furnieh

Year by year the crops grew bigger

It works out this way: Use More

PREPARE FARM )3UILDINGS FOR
LIVE STOCK.
(Experimental Farms' Note),
This is the season lf the year when
every farmer should be considering the
putting of his farm buildings in the
best shape 'possible for the winter
housing of his live stock, that is (1) in
regard to cleanliness, (2) light, (3)
ventilation and (4) warmth.
First, the farmer should see that
all dirt and cobwebs that may have
accumulated through the summer are
swept down and a good coat of white-
wash applied with a certain amount
of a disinfectant, such assis used on all
farm e added to the white -wash, in or-
der to eliminate as much as possible
any disease which may be present.
Second -See that there are as many
windows as possible in your buildings
and that the glass is tight in all of
of them, for there is no better pre-
ventive of disease than plenty of light.
If ir is not possible to have double'
Windows for all your stables be sure
to use what you have on windows on
the north side, in order to conserve
heat.
Third -Ventilation is one of the
most" important things in live stock
industry, and unfortunately, one that
there is not enough stress laid upon,
for without proper ventilation, it is
practically inapossible to get the good,
healthy development and benefit from
feed consumed that we should have in
our live stock.

ATTENTION TO PLANT DISEASES
AFTER HARVEST.
(Experimental Farms' Note).
The plant pathologists of, the Ex-
perimental Farms inform us that of
the many destructive plant diseases,
none are more difficult to control
than those living over in the soil.
Year after year notwithstanding the
practice of crop rotation, the effects
of solid infection often became so pro-
nounced as to cause what is popularly
known as "soil sickness". One of the
most notorious of these diseases is
clover and alfalfa wilt (Sclerotinia)
which has given rise to the belief that
land may become cover sick. Thie
disease has just begun to show up on
the Continent of America, and unless
prompt precautionary measures are
taken there is a possibility of the dis-
ease causing similar losses here to
what it does in Europe.
A diseese similar in nature at-
tacks beans, and there are other in-
stances which call for a word of gen-
eral advice on matters of prevention.
As soon a8 crops are harvested,
whether gathered in the field, garden
or orchard, there is manifested a uni-
versal indifference and.rieglect on the
part of some growers towards the con-
dition in which the ground, trees or
bushes are left. Where it but known
to them that with the refuse left on
the ground from crops there exist
myriads of germs of serious plant
diseases (and also insect pests) ready
for hibernation!
Mutemied fruits in orchards left un-
disturbed, either on the trees or on
the ground, give rise to a now out-
break of brown rot in spring. Plow-
ing under affords only limited protee-
time since It safely buries all
fungus material Which spring plow-
ing will bring to the surfttee of the
toil once more after successful hibena-
tion. Prevention, as usual, is decid-
edly better than cure, and sanitary
measures are jstet as important in
field, garden or orchard as in stables
and dwellings. As 800t1 as possible
after the harvest of eaele eroP-or bet-

TO FIGHT
INFLUENZA
Facts About Its History,
Prevention and
Treatment.
The following is issued by the Can-
adian Commission of Conservation to,
assist the people in avoiding andtcom-i
batting the prevaiiiing epidemic:
Influenza, Which is now esseeeping'
over Canada from one end to the
other, is a very old (Renee. le was
known in ancient times, and a& early
as 1510 it over -ran the whole cevilized
world. For centuries it has pericelically
swept over Various parts of the world.
The. last great world epidemic was in
1880-00, wheu it was generally known
by the French name of la greepe. The
disease has always •travelled from east
to *est.
The symptoms are similar to those,
of it heavy cold; more or lase Geyer°
headache, cold in the head and throat,
fits' of sneezing, flushd face. chills,
achis and pains in the back and
limbs, pains in the eyo-laalls and be-
hind the eyes, general 1 physical de-
preision, and temperattete rising to be-
tween 101 and 104 &grins.
HOW TO PREVENT IT,
As it is such an old etsease, doctors
have naturally learnsed la great deal
about ite prevention and treattuent,
The first principle of. peovention is to
keep away from those ',infected, and
the second, to build up the germ -re-
sisting parts of the body. by eating
nourishing "foods,' dre,saing comfort-
ably, getting lots of sleep,, and by liv-
ing in .the open air and in bright, well -
ventilated rooms as muchas passible.
.The mouth, throat and nose should
systematically and frequently disin-
fected by antiseptic 'inhalations,
sprays and washes. Such preparations
as chloretone and listerine are well
adapted for this purpose.
In fighting previous epichemics, doc-
tor e found quinine a useful preventive.
One grain of sulphate of quinine.mixed
with (but not dissolved in) a wine -
glassful of cold water makes an excel-
lent antiseptic gargle. The anti -
microbic properties of quinine are well
known and its use as described above
at once relieves the symptoms of sore

HOW TO TREAT IT,
When a persen is struck by influ-
enza, only one comae lies open. ,That
is to take to bed with the least pea-
eible delay, and call a. doctor. Rest,
warmth and qbiet are three sovereign
renaedies of the primary disease, and
the best preventive of its more deadly
complication°, of which pneumonia is
the most frequent, While there is 110

many drugs which play a useful part
in relieving it, such as quieine,
aspirin and smithies tonics, anti-neue

WHAT TO EAT.
The dietetic rulewhieh apply to
any fever apply equally to influenza.
Liquid foods at Met, solids a little
later on in a gradually ascending scale
from lightly boiled fresh eggs to
chicken, roast joints, -etc. Water, (sold
or hot, may be sipped or "egg water"
may be given. This excellent dish is
prepared by blending with a pint of
cold water the, whipped whites of from
two to four eggs, flavored with salt
or cinnamon. Then the animal
broths may be given. There are many
cases in which even the lightest foods
are spurned with loathing, and com-
mon sense must be used in adanting
diet to the particular case in hand.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST INFLNU-
ENZA.
(1) The sick should be separated
from the healthy. This is especially
important in the case of first attacks
in the household.
(2) Discharges from tbe nose and
mouth should not be allowed to get
dry on a pocket handkerchief or in-
side tho 'house, offiee nr factory. They
should at once be collected in paper
or clean rags and burned. If this can-
not be done, they should be dropped
into a vessel containing water.
(3) Infected articles and rooms
should be cleansed and disinfected.
Use disinfectants everywhere. Wash
the handsfrequently.
(4) Those attacks shoulfinot, on any
account, -mingle with other people for
at least a period of ten days from the -
commencement of tho attack, In se-
vere cases, they should remain away
from work for a longer period.
(5) Special attention should be given
to cleanliness and ventilation. Warm
clothing should be worn, the feet
should be kept dry and all unnneces-
eery expos-ure avoided.
