Oo' D PE FOR ROSE PESTS: [how to ileal With Some Persia;. tent Rose Enemies. A Remedy at Hand for Every Assail- ant—In Cold Weather Spray In the Mornings. — Generous Cows Need a Good Grain Ration, (Con,trthgtst, ,y oeterio Department of Agrieultiire, ortfhite.) Spraying with water under pres- sure with a'^ -fine spray Is a good preventive for the various pests that infect rose buelafe. This, however, is often times not full effective, but only a help. Tobacco .and Soap Solutions Effective. Strong tobatee or soap solutions applied in the same way as stated for the water are good remedies. Three ounces of whale ail soap dissolved in a gallon of water will make a good solution for green aphids, red spider and thrip. A. solution of tobacco water can be, made by placing to- bacco leaf stems or raw tobacco leaves in a pail, 1% or 2 pounds; dB the pail with boiling soap suds, cover up, and allow to cool. Strain and spray It on the plants as re- quired, Another good formula is made by mixing one part slightly sour milk n:td twa parts of coal oil. These must ba mixed (churned) together thor- uughly drst, then add 20 parts cit water and mix thoroughly. This Must be used quickly, as it does not keep. long. The following preparations sold at "erge seed stores are also good. Sul- eho-tobacco soap and Black Leaf 40 re good remedies, These are also +old at some drug stores. Full direc- tions for use are given an the pack- ages. I and it an improvement to use soapy water in mixing Black Leaf 40, These remedies are for aphis. thrip and red spider mainly. Dealing W'ith the Slug. Another pest that infests rose bushes is what is known as the rasa slug, a slimy green caterpillar, about one inch long, that eats the leaves and also eats into the flower. Dust- ing the bushes when the leaves are damp (not too wet) with dry helle- bore from an old baking powder tin having a perforated lid, will help to keep down thesepests; or an ounce of hellebore powder may be mixed with a gallon of water and sprayed on the plants. These are all -'very effective remedies for pests on rose bushes. Care must be taken, how- ever, not only to be particular in mixing the ingredients, but also to apply thoroughly to all parts of the plant, more especially to the Leder side of the leaves for the vyhite thrip and red spider, and start early In the season before the pests appear. Prevention is better than cure. When .to Spray. In applying any of these solutions, any spraying necessary in chilly weather should be done in the morn- ing. During, the very hot weather, spraying may be done in the evening. If spraying is done in chilly weather it induces mildew. The remedy for downy or powdery mildew is to dust the plants with flowers of sulphur or spray with a solution made by mix- ing one ounce of potassium sulphide in three gallons of water.' An appli- cation of any of these remedies should be made every week or ten lays from early in the season until :lie end of summer. The potassium ; ilphide is also a good remedy for "Black Spa," another fungus dis- •-s9 t'iat attacks the leaves of rose hushes. All dead or diseased leaves a:used by black spot or mildew should be gathered up and burned. —The late Wm. Hunt, O. A. College, Guelph. Generous Cows Need God Grail: Ration, With the pasturing season at an end, every owner of dairy cows should begin to plan his winter feed- ing. Cows often suffer more for lack of feed between the time when. the rasture is good and the time when winter feeding in earnest begins than they do after winter is really at hand. Every experienced feeder has learn- ed that it is easy to let cows decline in milk as a result of poor feed, but very hard to bring them back. A good production- for the year is pos- sible only when the cow is kept at a high level of milk production all the time. The ••foundation of all good dairy rations isa succulent feed, either silage or roots, and a legume hay, which means clover or alfalfa. Just as soon as the grass begins to get short, therefore, the feeding of silage and hay should begin. ,It neverpays to scrimp on roughage. Let the cows have as much as they will eat up clean all the time.' That is what a cow is.for—to convert roughage into milk. ' A good grain mixture should con- tain at least three different feeds, one of which is rather high in pro- tein. A'good grain. mixture for cows of medium production is ground corn or barley four parts, oats or bran two Parts, linseed Meal one part. The grain feed should vary with the milk produced. The cow that 3s milking heavily is the one to receive the liberal , grain allowance. A good rule to follow with reference to amount of feed, is to give one pound of grain to each three pounds of niiik produced by a Guernsey or Jersey, and one pound of grain to each three and one-half pounds of milk by a Holstein. ., Cultivate the soil at the earliest possible date at which the land is in proper condition. i A sow with,'a .litter of 13,` pur- chased by'Marchmonts & Sous, And- over, England, on October 8, 1919, has since had litters of 14, 18, 13 and 19, making a total of 77 in 22 months. GROWING SWEET PEAS Getting the Very Best From This Beautiful Hower. Location and Soil Suggested—Early Sowing Desirable—Good Support and Freciuerit Picking Necessary, (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Location.—An open, sunny posi- tion in the garden suits them very well.. Close up to a building or near to a close board fence facing, the south is not a good place for them as the intense heat of the sun in- duces attaeles of insect pests. An east, west, or north exposure close to a fence is not so objectionable, except perhaps a,. direct northern ex- posure. Near to an open wire fence or trellis fence is not objectionable, Soil, --A deep, fairly rich loamy soil is best. If the ground is poor or gravelly or heavy clay, dig a trench the length required from 12 to 15 incites deep and about 10 incites wide. Place about two incites in depth of well rooted barnyard manure or cow manure in the bot- tom of the trench, then fill the trench up with well enriched loamy soil. Deep digging is necessary for sweet peas even in good soil. Never sow sweet peas twice in succession in the sagae soil; a part Of the soil at least should be renewed, every year. pre- pare trench or ground for sweet peas the previous fall if possible. When to Sow. --Sow as early in the sprig; as tete ground can be worked. The set d. may he so '.c•t1 in lulah'ew:iron water before eo't intz for six or eight hours to hasten gerna- inatiou.

Support.-- -Wid meshed cltiokt°f .vire nee feet in 'height, maple brush- wood or coarse twine may be used for support. Netting nude of coarse twine makes an ideal rapport, better than wire, as the lhi.tnts cling to it better than to wire. Watering. ---Water thoroughly in very dry weather. Draw a brill a few inches deep and about four inches from the row on each `side. Pour water into these until the ground is thoroughly soakeit, Water- ing In this way once every week or ten days is far more beneficial than frequent light surface waterings. Spriftkle the foliage with water un- der prteesure from a flue sp1'inkler every day in hot dry weather to keep down insect?, such as green aphis. sand red spider. Spri,:hle the under side of the foliage cep cialiy. To- bacco and soap solations are also good for insect pests.

If seed is allowed to fore:, the bloom will be inferior and the flo:e..'r- ing season of short duration. Fertilizebs.—A watering once or twice with liquid manure solution to- wards the end of August will help to keep the plants vigorous and produc- tive late in the season.—The late Wnh. Hunt, O. A. College, Guelph. Silo Facts. In the silo you can store corn in a form in which practically every particle can be eaten. Silage gives the effect of pastur- age in winter; it is both palatable {nc} Seicculent, and it also aids diges- iten in the div -_reeding season.. Xprea1T red. snage ar@ not more eihbjeet to Culler -etas -1s, do iiot lose theirteetla &Yore quickly, and are not shorter -lived than animals fed other common kinds of feed. The use of the silo often makes it possible to save corn that would otherwise be lost by frost. A good silo should be round, air- tight, water -proof, have walls that are smooth inside, and be strong and durable. A silo should be placed where it will give the greatest convenience in ending and where it will be least ex - sed to extremely cold winds. One hundred tons of sit tae will ecd 25 cows 40 pounds of silage a day for 200 days. A silo 14 feet in diameter and 32 feet high will hold 100 tons. Silos of more than 100 tons ca- pacity •cost from $2 to $6 per ton, according to the type -and material used in construction.
