Since powdered belle. bare 1* readily obtainable this put* in the hands of everyoue a remedy for one of the pests that beet been. tonna dangerous as well as troublesome. I Powdered hellebore, however, will not kill adult flies, which must be swatted or trapped.. It has long been known that flies breed in manure, but previous tnetil- ode of destroying the larvae there by the use of strong chemicals have been open to the objection that the treat - molt under Bowe conditions lessened the fertilizing value of the manure or actually injured Vegetation. This is not true of powdered hellebore..- Gov- ernment experiments have shown that the hellebore le entirely decomposed in the course of the fermentation of the manure uud that even in.. excessive quantities It does no harm except to the larvae it is Intended to destroy. Chickens picking in manure treated with it suer no ill. Leets. One-half pound of powdered helle- bore mixed with ten gallons of water Is sufficient to kill the larvae in eight bushels or ten cubic feet of manure. The mixture should be sprinkled care- fully over the pile, especial uttention being paid to the outer edges. In most places hellebore ,is obtainable in 100 pound Lots at a cost of 11 cents a pound. This makes the cost Of the treatment a little less than seven -tenths of a cent per bushel of manure. A liberal estimate of the output of manure is two bushels a des' per horse. The mon- ey involved is therefore trifling in com- parison with the benefits to the indi- vidual and the community from the practical elimination of the disease spreading ay. Although fresh manure is the favor- ite breeding spot, flies lay their eggs lin other places as well, such as out- houses, refuse piles, etc. In these 1 places, from which no manure is taken to spread on the fields, considerable saving may be effected through the substitution of borax for powdered hel- lebore. Applied at the rate of 0.62 pounds per 8 bushels of manure borax is as effective as powdered hellebore in killing the larvae, but costs Less than half a cent for each bushel of manure treated. In larger quantities, however, or when the manure itself is spread at a greater rate than 15 tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result. Large quantities of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is always danger of carelessness in nppiying the borax. The use of the more expensive but safer hellebore is therefore recom- mended for the treatment of manure. Borax is recommended for ail other refuse in which flies may lay eggs. Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are con- vinced that the use of one or th't other of these simple measures it a publie duty wherever manure and refuse ex- ist. Sanitarians, however, strongly advise the removal of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breeding places for flies. In breeding places which cannot be thus disposed of, such as manure or stables, the daily use of powdered hellebore will keep the files from breeding in these favorite breed- ing grounds. The• best results are ob- tainable in a Community where every one cleans up his premises, traps or kiIia the Well and systematically treats die manure and other breeding places with powdered hellebore. The fly is not only a nuisance to hu- man beings and Live stock, but spreads disease and filth and is a menace to public health which cannot be tolerat- ed in the face of a demonstrated remedy.

D., touched on a subject that should not be allowed to drop till the Nation is aroused to a sense of its great importance. His subject was, "The Challenge of the Alien," and he said in part, "The further challenge of the Alien is that he become a citizen. This means the oath of allegiance. But what should it mean in preparation for that oath? Residence not less than five years -some say seven or longer. But is that every- thing? Should not the candidate for naturalization be able to read and write and evidence some knowledge of the constitution and ideals of the Nation whose citizenship he desires to espouse? Is it not our responsibility to create right conceptions and lead the alien into a proper realization of what citizen- ship means? Is it not ours to surround him with higher influences? Too often his rendezvous is the saloon, his companions undesirables, and his in- struction from the seamy side of our civilization? We allow him to make the bar -room his social centre thus dwarf- ing his conceptions and degrading his purposes. Let us fully realize that upon us lies the responsibility for the betterment of the immigrant -the future Citizen." This war has revealed to us the immense importance of • cultivating ideals of eitizer ship that would scorn to use the sacred franchise for their own selfish purposes but so far we have made little or no effort to teach what citizenship means - its duties and responsibilities, Probably the greatest influence at work in creating political ideals is the Saloon. What then could we expect but what we have got robbery and corruption in high planes and a large number of Citizens base enough to sell their vote to the highest bidder. the sills at one end by passing through the holes and forming a lock by turn- lag theend back through the holes over stall iron pins; then pass the wire ewer the V irons, drawing them tight with a lever and fasten at the other ends in the sante way. This brace will more than double the strength of the ladder and adds but little expense.-- 1si 'arm Progress. For Poultry Rsisers. There is good money in selling eggs for hatebing.

Soon the party worker comes and rounds up a lot of them and "gets them naturalized," under promise of being faithful to the party and so the game goes .on, and our national ideals become obscured. and our politics more corrupt. What are we doing to .create higher ideals of citizenship? What are we doing to teach the blessings of freedom? Do we not owe it to these strangers to remove the saloons and in its place encourage workman's clubs. Would it not be well to have the regular course from the primary schools up in patriotism and all that that word stands for. If we do not act promptly it does not require wisdom to foresee how it must end. H. Arnott, M. B., M. C. P. S. the export of such seed, the prices of a great number of important vegetable seeds have risen enormously. And, stili worse, some seeds can hardly be obtained at any price. It is reported from a well informed source that Ivegetable seed growing in the countries Iengaged in the war has been largely neglected during the past Summer. I and that for this reason further ad- vances in prices can be expected. Reports from Germany state that the supply of seed of spinach, carrots, most kinds of cabbage, onions, cucum- bers and peas is utterly small, Further- more, Germany has " prohibited the export of vegetable seeds to the end of the war. There is therefore every reason to fear that we have to Lace the possibility of a very serious shortage of certain vegetable seeds." -Seed Branch, Ottawa: ' L)eCember 2nd 1915 SUMMER Ram im OF BDU1*S Poing, Thi* Work in Good Season Pow: *ewes Strength of the Plants..

The following extract of an article, from a newspaper of Gothenburg, Sweden, will be of interest to growers of vegetable seeds. The article refers to the Board of Directors of the Agri- cultural College of Alnarp, Sweden, asking for a Government grant for the encouragement of vegetable seed grow- ing. "The board points out that the war has most clearly emphasized the im- portance, of home tance for the country, Por , 1', production of vegetable seed.

Birds and Innactc. Within certain Inuits bird. eat the kind of food that is roost accessible, ,espeeially when their natural food is scarce or wanting.. Thus they some- times injure the crops of the farmer who has unintentionally destroyed their natural food in bis improvement• of swamp orvesture. Most of the dam- age done by birds and complained of by farmers and fruit growers arises from this very cause. The berry bear- ing shrubs and seed bearing weeds have been cleared away, and.the birds have no recourse but to attack the cul- tivated grain or fruit which have re- placed their natural food supply. The great majority of land birds subsist upon insects during the period• of nest- ing and molting and also "feed their young upon them during the first few weeks. Many species live almost en- tirely upon insects, taking vegetable food only wben other subsistence fails. It is thus evident that in the course of a year birds destroy an incalculable number of insects, and It is difflcuIt to overestimate the value of tbeir serv- ices in restra cism the great tide of ion seat life. ottr.noss.
