O TAS H farm by the farmer who
does not make a careful
study of his methods of
growing ?
You are in the farming business to make money!
You want to get the maximum yields from your
land. To do this, ,the most important work
comes at the start and consists in the use of a high
grade 10% POTASH fertilizer at seeding time.
The proper wheat fertilizer is one analyzing' 2%
of Nitrogen, 8% of Phosphoric Acid and 8% of
POTASH -better still a 2-8-10.
Any agricultural authority will tell you that
Winter Wheat removes from the soil more
POTASH than Phosphoric Acid. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, the average wheat fertilizer contains
actually less POTASH' than Phosphoric Acid.
POTASH
"Potash Pays"
Insist that your dealer gives you a fertilizer containing 10%
POTASH. If he cannot, you should add enough POTASH
to the fertilizer he can give you to increase its POTASH
content to 10%.
We will tell you, free, just how to do this, We recommend,
based upon actual field' tests made byy experts throughout
Canada, a fertilizer for winter wheat that contains 2%
Nitrogen, 8% Phosphoric Acid and 10% of PO'T'ASH. By
applying at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre at seeding time,
you will secure, a good stand before*` the commencement' of
winter and thus afford your crop a greater degree of pro-
tection from frost, and insure a rapid and early growth in
the spring,
Write us about your particular farming problems. Our
Scientific Bureau will be glad to tell yotl how to .grow a
maximum crop of winter wheat. This information is free

The growth of language is marked
by want' changes In tiye meanings and
pronunciations of words and by the to
troduettorr of new words where peed..
ed, Its decay is influenced by the ever
increasing tendency to Stang and to
eollaquialisme, which .form a "peculiar
kind of vagabond language, always
hanging on the outskirts of legitimate
speech, but 'continually straying or
forcing its way into respectable com•
papy." Whatever the changes, con.
structive or destructive, can any pro-
fessor or armies of vise and learned
men make "It is tae" correct any more
than they can justify poor times eight

rise to the attitude of many school-
girls who have the idea that it is af-
fected to say "It is I" They expect
to be laughed at when they use cor-
rect constructions, Lien a lawyer of

were to speak correctly he would lose
business with: certain clients, men "in

above them. Is it not sad that an in-

What a .Blockade Means.
The object of a blockade is to prevent
the. communication of a country with
the outside world and to stop the en•
trance of supplies of provisions, ma
terinis of war or reinforcements.
A vessel is not liable .to seizure if i
is In Ignorance of the blockade, .A, ve.

A blockade to b, ;, effective must b
maintained by a sufficient terve to pec'
vent the entrance or neutral vessel
into the blockaded port or ports an

Rare Violin Sense.
An amateur violinist in town hen
says the Glasgow News, bought a bel
dle secondhand for a mere song "'Be
ing of opinion that he bad made

expert who undertakes to give an opin
ion ' as to the value of instruments

that there was nothing unusual about
the fiddle and that it was worth'8boui
a couple of pounds,; That is abort
about twelve years ago, and reread}
the violin was again sent to the ex
pert for criticism, The reply was con
tained in one eloquent sentence, "9'bt.
violin has been here before." Consid
ering that this gentleman criticises -s
very great number of instruments ev
ery year, and that he guarantees that
violins will not be marked in any way,
this is surely an extraordinary example
of violin "sense."
The Firefly's Light.
Probably as far back as 1733 it wa
known that the luminous parts of tire
flies, glowworms, etc, could be drie
and preserved out of contact with th
air for considerable periods Awithout
losing their light giving power. . In
late years it has beep possible to prove
this permanence of the light givin
power for at least eighteen months.
'Kastle• ana McDermitt- were able upon
opening tribes containing the luminous
organs of the common firefly preserv-
ed in hydrogen or a vacuum to obtain
quite a brilliant tight by simply mois-
tening with water. The light was in.
creased when hydrogen peroxide. re-
placed the water. However, scientists.
have yet to discover the firefly's secret
of producing light without heat.
Fire and Water.
Water wiil extinguish a fire because
the water forms a coating over the
fuel, wbieli keeps it from the air, and
the conversion or . water into steam
draws oft the heat fromtheburning
fuel. A little water makes a fire
fiercer, while -a large quantity of water
puts it out. 'rhe explanation is that
water is composed. of oxygen and hy-
drogen. , When. therefore, the tire can
decompose the water into its simple
elements it serves as fuel to the flames.
