This famous remedy will clear the bronchial tithes of the collected mucous and phlegm, and in this way ease the wracking cough and a short time xnak-e it disappear e,ntire- iy. Mrs. J. W.

In many districts corn silage has been the faithful standby in peoviding winter roughage for dairy cows. Over a large area, the corn erop, now faces a new :Ind dangerous pe•st-athe coini borer. This pest has becorim so seri- ous that it is well to -"ask oursel-ves what dairy farmerss are to do in the evnit that the corn crop should become unprofitable, which is quite possible, based n0u experiences where the rav- ages of the borer have been great. Will the dairy farmer be left with- out a satisfactory crop that -will sup- ply a large bulk of feed from a small .acreage? A satisfactory substitute seems to have been found in the sweet clover crop. This crop has been en- , siloeci with disastrous results to cattle in a few cases, probably due to the fact that it was cut when too ripe, or was not tramped thoroughly in the Silo, and thus became moldy and poisoned the stock. Seos of farmers are now using seveilalover, with success a-nd result- , itg profit-. One such man is Adam :11111111tionipson, Of Perth County. This sea- son Mr. Thompson- had both his silos , full -of sweet clover sila!ge and has been feeding it regularly during the Winter to his Holstein cows. The herd has been milking better, if anything, than on corn -silage and it has an, additional advantage in that enough ca.n he thrown clown for three or four days, and, not heat. Mr. Thompson liFans never to grow corn again."' At Kempville Aggicialtural Scheel sweet clover has been used for silage with excellent. results.'A few inenths ago, the principal, W. J. Bell, inferm- ed us that they had filled a silo with :sweet clover and just recently he had made a public report on their exper- ience to date. They had no diffieulty in getting the cows to eat the sweet clover silage, and results have been excellent. Mr. Bell estimates the cost, delivered in the silo, with a,„ yield of ten tons to the acre, at $1.90 per -ton. This is less than corn, can be produced fdr and, if:cut with care, there will be adsecond crop of sweet clover in the year for hay, pasture or turning under. If the corn berer does not • prove to be as serioustapest aS many 6eem to ex-pect, the corn crop will re- raairx the standard for silage for many years to ••come. It is comforting to know, however, that there is b satis- factory substitute right at hand, should the corn ceop becomennprofit- a'bie and unreliable. An additional advantage is that sweet clover will grow over a wider area than will corn, and rnariy farmers who -now depend solely -upon their corn could with pro- - fit adal this erop to their rotation.

No matter in what section of this broad country of o -urs a dairy farmer may be' lecatecl he can use a silo and some form of allege to ad- vantage. Briefly, the ad -Vantage of having a silo lies in the fact that it provides -cheap, succulent, nutritious, palatable feed throughout the winter morths and „even during the dry Spells in summer/if 'necessary. This i,11"tztiril makes for healthy) thrifty•catile7died economical production of milk. • Silos may be made of woo.d in var- ious fotrins, of solid cement, of cement or tile blocks, or even in holes in the ground lined with cement, the latter being known as pit eiles. The pros- pective builder Mint. hhoese -the type best suited to his conditions anal capi- tal. Properly 'built, any one of them will'keep the • silage. The four funda- mental factors in a Silo are strength to eesist the pressure the silage ex- erts; close construction so as to ex- clude allair; smooth, straight walls so as not to il-npeae the eettling of the silage in the silo; and a handy means of getting out the silage. As regards design, the ler.ges- diameter silo costs less per ton capacity than the smaller, both being the same height; of two silos of the same diameter, the higher gives a greater capacity per foot height than the lower. The silo which provides proper storage tar silage at the least cost per ton is the silo to build. Silage may be -made ,from quite a large variety of foam crops,' including eOrrly sunflOwers, pea, o -at amd metch mixture, sweet clover, red clover, a.nd some of, the grasses. Of tae above mentioned 'crops corn, where it can Pc grown, is the ideal crop as it gives good yields and makes an excellent quality of silage. If unable to grow corn, sunflowers are ..about the best su slue in most localities but they do not make as palatable a foam of silage. These two crops are to .be specially recommended) as they are gown in drills and intertilled, conse- quently help to keep the land free of 'weeds. The ether crops mentioned all make good silage if, ensiled in proper condition, but, do not 'yield as heavily per acre, Mixtures ,of these latter crops would make -aa good and. in some eaeea better silage than one ,single crop, particularly if corn forMa 'a fairly large part of the mixture. To 'noire good silage, the crop must be. cut in the field and put into the silo while still fairly green qx It must be cut in short en,ough'lengths' naelt Well and it meat packed well. As a rule, crops with'aolid stems make better ensilage :than those with hollow aterns as the latter carry too much air in the hollow spaces, which can not 'be entirely preased out Too much air means too much :fermenta- tion and mouldy spots in the eilage. This may be overcome by thorough tramping in the silo and by mois,ten- ing the material -With water when fill- ing the silo, if it ie too dry.

Vegetables for Health. The , shoeta•ge of help on many farms has ledto the abandonment, or nearly so, of the kitchen garden and the growing of vegetables under field conditidias. Such crops as lettuce, radishes onions, garden carrots, and beets, require to be grown close to the house so as to be easily acce,ssible when needed. But such crops as the cabbage, .cauliflower, -winter beets, coane celery,aaarsnipp, beans, and-pea.e, may jast_ as well be grown under field 'conditions. A small area of land will grow all of the former class that even a large family can use. It is well, therefore, to make thorough prepara- tion of the soil, to select carefully the varieties to be kdarn, and to give the needed cultivation during the season. 'Such perennial plants as asparagus arid rhubarb -require permanent 'quarters. • The Experimental Parma have made a careful study of 'varieties both from the standpoint'of quantitar'and quality of crop. The following varieties, while -not definitely elaim.ed to be superior to all others, are recornmen.ded as safe to plant: Beets—Detroit Dark Red, Croalay Egyptian, and petroit Half Long Dark Blood. 1`at Carrots—Oxlieart and Chantenay.

If you are ,looking fax a simple, effective .and economical ntethocl of inomila.ting sweet clover .seted before sowing, try this plan, which we used last year. For inoculating material we collected the dirt from about the roots of well -inoculated sweet clover plants just before using, keeping,it in a darkened ailed. The earth we se- cured was damp and rather lumpy. Take a Piece of tightly stretched screen about the size of common win- dow -screen, sprinkle a little of the earth on it, and pour "about a g•allon of the sweet clover seed on top of it. Over the top of the seed spread a pint or more of the damp soil and begin to rub the soil and Seed through the screen. The damp soil will tend to 'clog the screen; and in rubbing both through the meths, 'mach of the soil adbere.s to the seed.

We do not treat seed more than a day or so before sowing. In a week the.soil on the seed will become dry and hard. The seed will not flow readily through the opening in the seeder when first treated, and., therefore, it is neeee.sa,ry to set the seeder to $OW a little thicker in order to get the required amount of seed into the ground. ,By clo,ting how thickly the seed lies on the ground, 'one can easily determine when it is being sown heavy enough.
