Now ia the time for the fareo,er to plan his cropeings for 1919, and in doing so to decide upon wient fertili- 2c:re., if any, he purposes to use. Last spring there was considerable disap- peintment among farmers, especially among•those who itsa delayed placing their orders till a few weeks before the season opened, as there was not only a shortage a material, but trans- portation facilities were stick that quick deliveries could not be made. There is no prospect that conditions wini be better next spring, and it therefore behooves the farmer this fall to carefully consider his needs, scan the prices, and, having made his selection, to place his -orders, stipulat- ing an early delivery, Co-operation in ordering my effect the saving of a considerable amount in purchasing and freight rates. Daring the last ten years there has been considerable increase au the num- ber of farmers in British Columbia, Quebec. Ontario and the Maritime provinces using fertilizers, but un- fortunately but a small percentage of them have any definite knowledge of the profit that may have resulted from their applieation. There. will always be a degree of uncertainty as regards results from fertilizers, elliaflY owieg to the fact that seasonal conditions cannot he predicted, but, with close observation from carefully., planned work, a very great knowledge may be gained as to the kind and amount of fertilizer which will nrove profitable application, butif time and labor do not permit of the adoption of this plan, a strip,of the field, well staked, should be left unfertilized, and its yield weghted against that of a similar sized strip on the fertilized area. Prom the results so obtained the profit or loss from the application of the fer- tilizer may be readily obtained. A considerable saving may be us- ually effected by buying fertilizer in- gredients -nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, fertilizers, and this course also furnishes valuable information for future guidance obtainable in no oth- er way. Information and advice regarding the use of fertilizers will be gladly giv- en as far as mate be practicable, by the Division of Chemistry, ,Cenlgal Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, HARVESTING NUTS PATRIOTIC PASTIME. (Experimental Farms' Note). Throughout Canada there is a gen- erous supply of nut -bearing trees which yield an abundance of edible nuts rieh in food value, as the but- tertut, black walnut, the hickories, hazlenuts mid.beech nuts. Nuts are more 'nutritious than milk, eggs, bread and meat, one ounce of. nut kernels being equal in food value to a pint of milk. Nuts are ready to eat without the labor anti cost of cooking They may be served in the form of delicious saedwiches, in salads, in fruit jellies and cakes, dr a handful may he kne'ad- ed into a loaf of bread before it goes into the oven.

HINTS ON EIREEDING, The following useful "pointers" are issued by the New Zealand Govern- ment for the guidance of poultry farm- ers, and are well worth consideration: The male bird should be a strong crower, with a fine, active carriage, The female should be ferainine. Avoid hens with cocktail, spurs, and mascu- line tendencies. Select a noble bird to breed from that M boss of the yard, and haste die - tinct masculine appearance. The cow- ed male, or on; with feminine appear - mice, should neer be bred from., A cold shank in a bird indacates poor constitution, Fertile eggs may be obtained after the birds have been mated fortyneight hours, but M the majority of cases eight to ten days'. mating is advigable. Hens are no doubt the beet for breeding from, but there is no, objec- tion to breeding from an early' hatch- ednwell matured pullet after he has laid from 30 to 40 eggs. She may be mated with a well matured, vigorous cockerel. Constitution is frequently lost in striving to secure fancy featherior oth- er show points: There are many theories, but none has been proved to be aorreent as to how to secure 'a,higb. percentage pullets. Cross breeding is am effeotive.means of 'raising, birds for table met -poses, and in some eases good egg words are obtained fromeem, but ercissbred birds should not be bred. from. In selecting birds for breeding pur- poses, the history of the atrain :from which selection is to be made should be known. A email, short, ciean, broad head with, prominent eyes isean indication of strong constitution. The bird to manufacture eggs must have the machinery to do so. The distance between. the pelvic bones is not an indicatkin of egg -pre - ducats power nor in the male bird does it indicate 1 'any 'way that the bird would be the siresof high -type layers. It is, however, a good guide as to whether a hen is laeging or not. NOTES. A plentiful supply of green food is netessary for hens, and should be given while it is fresh. There has never been an over -pro- duction of first-class poultry and eggs, and, with a big ahortage M poultry now, due to war conditions, it is going to take some years to again bring pro- duction to the figures before the war, The average beginner can reason- ably expeot to get an average of at last ten dozreen eggs per hen a year from a small flock in the back yard. Every back yard poultry keeper should try to get an much more as possible. Poultry keepers cannot afford to re- tain a single fowl that/ is not a good producer. To do `fro is a waste in feed, now so scarce, and a loss to the poultry keeper in cash. Dispose of every male that can no longer be used as a breeder. Cull the growing pul- lets close. Only those that haye come along without a check during- the growing season, and are up to stand- ard weight, should bo retained. To safeguard the child from damage that worms cause, use Miller's Worm Powders, the mediciee par excellence, for children.

If you have anybody working for you and they lie down on ,their job, don't fire them at, once, just call them In and, tell this story: Dowa in Virginia, a farmer had an ox and a mule that he hitched togeth- er to a plow. One night, and after the ox and mule had been stabled and provendered for the night, the ox said to the mule: "We've been working pretty hard; let's plan off silt to -mor- row and lie here itt the stalls all day," "You can, if you watt to," returned the mule; "bit I believe I'll go to work." So the next Ineening when the far- mer came out the- ox played off sick; the farmer bedded him down With Clean straw, gave him fresh hay, a bnoket of Oats and bran mitted, left him for the day and. Went worth with the mule to plow. All thattay the ox lay in his stall, blinked his eyes and gently seviehed his tail, That night when the mule came in, the ox asked hew they got along ploWieg alone all day. "Well," said the mule, "it was hard and we didn't get much done, and-" `Ind the old maxi have anything to say about me?" intertupted the ox. "No," replied the mule.. "N'Vell, then," went on the ex.

So the next day the ox played off again, wits bedded down wit'i eleari atraw, provendered With.bay, brat Mad oats, and lay all day noddisg Winking, ebowing his cud and geatt; steithing his tail. When the mule eame in at night,tbo ex asked how they had gotten along without him. "About the same as YeeterdaY," re- plied the mule coldly, "Did the old man have anything to say to YOU about me?" again inquired the ox, "No," replied the mule, "not to ine; but he did have a lank; talk with tbe butclaer on the way home." ---"The Metal Magazine." e B.it Too Clever.

VICTIMS OF LA GRIPPE Left Weak, Disheartened and an Easy Prey to Other Troubles. A Nova Scotia ran Tells How He Found New Health and Strength. If you have had an attack of la grippe, or Spanish influenza you are not out of danger until your blood is restored to normal. Influenza leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di- gestion, and over -sensitive nerves. In this condition the, system becomes an easy prey to deadly paeurnonia, bran- ehitis, nervous prostration, rheumatism and even'Consumption. Ask anyone who had had an attack of influenza what their present condition of health 'Is and most of them will answer: "Since I had the grippe I have never been really weal." This general feel- ing of weakness will continue until the blood is built up again, and for this purpose nothing can equal a fair treatment with Dr.: Willia.:has' Pink Pills. From first to last dose these pills make new, rich, red blood which reaches every organ and nerve in the body, and through this weak, despon- dent vial= of infteenza are trans- formed into cheerful, healthy, 'happy men end women. Among the many victims of la grippe who proclaim the value of Dr.: Williams' Pink Pills is Mr. Amos Kant - back, of Petite Riviere, N. S., who says: -"I was taken down with a sett - ere attack of la grippe, or influenza. After a time the early symptoms of the trouble left me, but I did not re- gain my usual strength, and I had al- ways been a strong man. There were times when I felt I could hardly crawl about and I was so run down I could scarcely go about my business. I continued taking medicine but it did an no good. Then I found the trouble was affecting my digestion and the disagreeable feeling from this added to my general misery. I was finally advlsed to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I decided to lry them. I had only been taking the pills a few weeks when I found my strength re- turning, my eppetite improved, and still continuing the use of the pills a few weeks more found me restored to my old-time vigor. I can most strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Piiik Pills to all who have passed through an attack of influenza, as a safe medicine for renewing their strength." You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in niedicine, or by mail at 50c a box or six boxes for $2.50 from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Indications point to the highest prices ever paid for eating eggs this fall and winter. The poultryman who has properly arranged Louses and yards, who has culled out the slackers, should get production and profit. Breeders must make certain the fowls •are free of vermin. Roost poles should be painted, nests, dropping boards should be thoroughly sprayed with a good liquid mite killer. Every fowl should be handled on the roosts after dark so as not to excite them and et small amount of some louse ointment ehould be rubbed well into the skin about one Inch below the vent . Also a small amment applied the same way to each thigh will quickly rid fowls of body lice. Many bons are likely to have 14:` come too fat during the last two- inonths.

Pare bred fowl untere carefully culled will degenerate, showing different chime- torlstics, different sizes, shapes, at.c., and as a clads difficult to handle In large flocks, to house and feed them to insure uniform. conditions. There are other mewls also why the young stock should now be culled, thus per- mitting more hones and .range room for the more desirable during the au- tumn months. Green feed in some form, as well as sour milk or buttermilk, should be supplied to both the .old and young stock if poseible. .A good grace of one:at meal, beef or fish scraps should also be supplied.

In this war we had to a.t- tempt them with insufficient means, be- e/LO/30 we were unprepared for war. 'Consider what that attempt meant. In the original scheme the Russians were to co-operate with us by landing 40,500 men on the shores of the Bosphor- tue zo as. to divert from us a large ehare of enemy soldiers. We brougat t. our men 3,000 zelles acroes the sea, and we eaid to them In effect. 'There are • the Twits entrenched, wilemachine guns and gime and shells. You have only rifles. We have no guns nor shells to give you. Now land on those mined beaches and take these trenches. The etuesams will help to some extent. It will not be so hard.' So the men went ashore and toole those trenches, Nine days after they were ashore we learned that the Russians could not land, any men an the Bosphorus, .and that we *were alone in the venture. And then we Euld to our survivors, 'The Russians can't come to help you after all. We have no guns nor shells to give You.

Then we said in effect, 'Men and guns are needed in France. We can't (lend you any more just yet.' So everything was delayed till the men and guns were ready, and then when they were ready the enemy was ready, too, and dysentery was raging and It was very hot an I there was little to drink, and it is a God forgotten land to fight in, so we e did not Win the peninsula nor anything else, except honor from thinking men.

That is a question even an antiquar- ian canhot answer. Probably some . comely tEgyptian bride of ancient times has the distinc- tion. It is an established fact that Egyp- tian women were first to wear circlets as symbolet of wedded blies: The performances of marries() vows was indicated by the putting ot a wed- ding ring not on the finger but on the arm. The Greeks, after the cenquest of the Persian Empire began to use a plain gold band on the third finger to signifythe wedding vows, The third finger of the left hand was used because it wag believed to have a vein directly to the heart, and the circlet was regarded as emblematic of the sacred ties beeause being round, It Was therefore endless. /- Australia's Artesian Basin.
