eal Branch of the Dominion Depart-
went of Agriculture, bas issued a 31
page bulletin (No. 10) on "Outworme
and their Control", prepared by Mr.
,Arthur Gibson, Chief Assistant Ento-
mologist. In the introduction it ie
stated that cutworme as a claw rank
in importance with ouch well known
pests as the San Jew Scale, the cod-
ling Moth and the Hessian fiy, all of
which are among our most destructive
insect enemies. There are certainly
few ineects which, year after year,
inflict such widespread damage as the
various caterpillare known commonly
as cutworme. The annual loss occas-
ioned by these insects is Canada
amounts to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. In the bulletin the methods
controlling cutworms are discuseed
fully. Under "Preventive Measures"
the value of clean cultivation is refer-
red to as well as the placing of bands
of tin or paper around planta which
are set out. "Remedial Measures"
include descriptions of various poison-
ed baits to deetroy the cutworme,
directions for the making of proper
furrows or ditches to prevent the
advance of armies of cutworms, etc.
Fifteen common kinds of cutworms
are described in popular detail and
much information given on the habits
and life -history of the various species.
The bulletin Ie fully illustrated. the'
figures being clear and well chosen.
Altogether there are 20 illustrations
of cutworme, outworm mothe, injury
to plants, etc. Copies of this new
publication may be had free of charge

Appeal To Canadians.
,Atilongtlt the euuuy. hospitals, where
our sick and wounded soldiers are
being brought back to health, there is
perhaps no institutions which will
appeal to Canadians more than the
taches of Connaught hospital. at
Oliveden, a beautiful country house.
along the upper reaches of theThamee,
which was given to the British War
Office by Waldorf Astor.
The covered tennis court, probably
the finest in the country, with its
appendagesout by the golf links and
close sto the football ground, st ithin
the screen of the woode, has beam
turned into a hospital building capable
of holding over 100 patients, This
c
a modat' since been ton has in-
creased to 500 beds.
The following interesting description
of this hospital is taken from a Londop
paper.
"What between the donors of the
building and the Canadian Red Ocoee
Society, this hospital is a model
The great height of the building and
its glass roof insure the wards being
flooded with Iight and air. The opera-
ting room is one of which any hospi.
tal might be proud. The X-ray room,
though small, has received high poise,
The laboratory, 'the medical stores,
the disinfeetor and other features of
the Equipment are all of the best that
can be got.
"The whole atmoephere is cbeerful,
There are beds in the wade by whicb
one does not linger—beds where the
signs of pain or of exhaustion are woe-
fully patent, For the most part smil-
ing faces greet one, and the .men are
laughing and talking in contentment
as they sit knitting or smoking. Just
outside on the terrace ie a row of beds.
Every man fit to come out spends so
many hours of the day out here where
he may watch his stronger fellows
playing bowls or football. No wend- ,
er that the wounded heal quick- i
ly, and the prostrate dream and sleep I
themselves smoothly back to strength.' •
The staff consists of 20 officers, 38'
nureee and 120 non-commissioned
officers and 'men, with many female
cooks and servants, All this will
mean a considerable outlay of money.
It should be remembered that this
hospital is a Canadian institution in
every way. It is manned by Canadian
doctors, and nurses, by Canadian nor. -
commissioned officers and men; it
receives Canadian wounded and is
supported and kept up by Canadian
money. It only remains for tbe Cana-
dian people as a whole to give their
whole hearted financial- support to
this Canadian hospital where our own
fellow countrymen will be brought
back to health and strength.

Half Mile Race Meet.
What promises to be the beet half
mile track race meeting of the season
will serve to inaugurate the successful
Michinan Short Ship Circuit at De-
troit, opening on July 5 and continu-
ing for five afternoone, given by the
Detroit Driving Cluil, whose Blue Rib.
bon trots are world famous, This series
of races will be the class of its kind.
The Detroit half mile track, built last
year, now is regarded as the fastest of
the smaller ovals and indications are
that a number of state and national
records will fall during the struggles
among the trotters and pacers.
The feature of all is the free-for-all
pace on Friday when the greatest field
of the year will start, including Direc-
tum I.,1:58; Frank Bogasb, Jr., 1:591;
Anna Bradford, 2:00e; Flower Direct,
2:01; Billy M., 2:011; King Couchman,
2:021; Our Colonel, 2:031; Single G,
2:071 and May Davis, 2:081: The aver-
age speed of the field is lower than
that of any race in the annals of the
two -lap tracks, and the field itself is
more sensational than any in the
grand circuit last year.
Robert S. Strader, of Lexington, the
mai who insists on clean racing, will
be presiding judge, and as the racing
will be on the point system it will be a
series of contests worth seeing.

WHAT TO HAI ME.
Farmers should raise tile things
to which their farms, their mar-
kets and themselves are adopt-
ed. They would bettor study
how to raise the most and best
of these things than to scatter
their energies over a great va-
Tety Of products merely to keep
from buying them. The men
who follow the right policy usu-
ally have cash enough to get
what they need from other farm-
ers who can produce it cheapest.
There was a. time When farmers
were compelled to brow or make
about everything they needed,
but that day has long gene by,
1t is goocl buss ess to raise
n
things—but the right things.

Employs Ten Devils.
Among the lllondyke Indians the
medicine "man" likely as not, Is a
woman. As a matter of fact, says
a writer in The Wide World, the
most celebrated medicine "man" in
Alaska at the present time is of ,the
feminine sex, The lady rejoices in
the name ot No -ha -de -Ian, Her name,
literally translated, means "The
woman who never came back."
Where, or how she got this curious
cognomen I was never able to learn,
but the old lady is very proud of it.
No -ha -de -Ian lives at the mouth of
the Koyukuk river, a tributary of
the Yukon, and has beezt the head of
her tribe for many years. To obtain
the post of witch -doctor it is neces-
sary, according to tribal lore, that
the applicant should have some ran
culler physical or mental develop-
ment. Hunchbacks are in great des
meed, and a childless woman is
looked upon as a certain possessor ot
supernatural powers. Anyone afflict-
ed with palsy or St. Vitus' dance al-
so can obtain a first-class job. It
would seem, however, from the view
point of an impartial observer, that
the witch -doctors, besides these ab-
normalities, are generally the pos-
sessors of a few more brains than
their compatriots. Relying upon a
few old tricks and their own native
intelligence, they manage to fool
their neighbors and lead a nice easy
life, accumulating for themselves a
good supply of this world's riches
as the Indian understands them, It
might be as well to explain, by the
way, that the terms "witch -doctor"
and "medicine man" are synony-
mous. The Russian word "shaman"
is often used in Alaska to describe
a medicine man, but the Indians
themselves always address him by
the reverent term "teynen," or, in
the case of a female, "soften
teynen," ,.

Evener Without Side Draft.
Here is the description of a foul
horse evener which will allow one
horse to travel in tate furrow and three
on the land side without side draft, as
given in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
The cut will show how the evener is
made, and the measurements are as
follows:
Two double trees of ordinary length,
a good, tough stick of which to make
rhe long evener, two iron pulleys
which will let a strong, small link
chain work through them, two bolts to
go through the pulleys and two strap
iron braces over the pulleys will be
needed. The stick for the evener
should be five feet four inches long,
and the first pulley will be put on
seven inches from the right end of it,
measuring to center of pulley. Measure
fifteen and one-quarter inches from the
center of this pulley mind bore hole for
the plow clevis. Now measure thirty
and three-quarter inches from the right
end of this evener and bore hole for
second pulley bolt, so that the two pul-
leys are twenty-four inches apart.
It is best to bore two or three holes
at the left end of the long evener. Put
the first one three inches from the end
and the others two and four Inches far-
ther in. This evener works one horse
in the furrow and three on the upturn•
od land with no side draft, say those
wlio have used it.

This is the way of it. '.lbey take a

of one very small room with a tiny
stove in one corner anal a shelf to keep
the plates on. Aud there is a little Intl
rived porch that will be sure to be all
ruu around with roses. Outside they
plant a tree or a flowering shrub and
place beneath it the table and the
bench and the three chairs for the
"quiet corner." The little house is not,
of course, large enough to 'be used for
sleeping purposes. But it does very
well for light daytime housekeeping.
The family spend the day in the out
of doors, returning to their city apart-
ment at night. Mother brings the chil-
dren and comes here to Sew in the aft-
ernoon. Father comes directly from
work, and they have supper, and after-
ward they make the garden. .Ail
through the long, lovely Berlin sum-
mer evenings they tend it with Ger-
man loving care.
The outskirts of Berlin are covered
with the Lauben Ii;olonie in pictur-
esque profusion, so that almost liter-
ally every vacant lot is planted with
them. A garden produces for each
family all of the summer vegetables
and some for winter. There are also
the eggs from chickens. There must
• be the chickens, else what should be
done with the waste leaves that have
to be picked from the plants?
The German house'wife, you see,
comes of a race which has made of
frugality a fine art. To her inherited
instinct there is added also special
training to make her the competent
and capable household manager that
she is expected to be, In America you
keep house if you have to. In Ger-
many you keep house because you pre-
fer to and prepare to.
Every German girl by the time she
turns an engagement ring on her finger
must be well grounded in the princi-
ples of what is going to be her all ab-
sorbing life occupation. She may be
accomplished in music and French and
English, but it matters not in how
many other subjects she is proficient.
She would be counted uncultured in-
deed without domestic -training.
Her education is usually finished at
one of the fashionable haus'haltungs
schule where housekeeping is taught.
Sho may even be a princess of the
royal blood, and there will not be omit-
ted her training in the Most ancient
and honorable calling for a woman.
The emperor's sister, the Princess Vic-
toria, now Duchess of Schaumburg -
Lippe, took her housekeeping course at
the fashionable school known as the
Pestalozzt Haus in Berlin. The em-
perot"s daughter, the Princess Victoria
Luise, now the Duchess of Bruuswick,
was sent to the equally fashionable

Not Wanted In Quebec.
In the Province of Quebec quite
different views are held on the sub-
ject of women lawyers from those
which largely prevail in this coun-
try, as is shown by a. recent ruling
from the bench in Montreal. It was
held that to admit a woman to prac-
tice law would be "a manifest viola-
tion of the law of good morals and
public decency," and that It would
further be "a direct infringement
upon public order." Mr. Justice
St. Pierre said in delivering his
finding.
I am not- a legislator but a judge
and the question submitted to me is
not whether it should be more fair
and reasonable that women should
be placed on a footing of equality
with men and allowed to become
members of the legal profession, but
whether, at the time when the law
Which incorporated the bar of the
Province of Quebec, the legislator
intended that women should be in-
cluded in the law, and given the
same privileges which were granted
to the male sex.
I hold that to admit a woman, and
more particularly a married woman,
as a barrister; that is to say, as a
person who pleads cases at the bar
before judges and juries In open
court and in the presence of the
public, wotild be nothing short of a
direct infringement upon public or-
der and manifest violation of the law
of good morals and public decency.
No woman possessing the least
sense of decency could possibly put
to the complainant the questions
necessary in certain cases without
thrdwing a blur upon her own dig-
nity, and without bringing into utter
contempt the honor and respect due
to her sexes

USE OF FERTILIZERS.
A, Great Shortage of Imported Oradea,
but an Ample Supply of Domestic.
Though a great shortage of imported
fertilizers bas developed, an ample sup-
ply of doinestle and eolith Anterlean
grades is available. Tbcso lire bound
to becoipe substitutes for those here-
tofore imported trot) abroad. Teo rat-
ter are potash and suiphate of am -
motile, used for any crops; sulphate of
potash, used for root euel grain crops,
and muriate of potash, prhleip:illy used
for corn and grain et•aps.
Of the domestic and South American
fertilizers there are a number of va-
rieties available and, most important
of all, at prices as yet unaffected by
the foreign shortage. What particu-
lar to use end 11 t
lar kindso a how to apply
them are subjects which have been
discussed in bulletins and books by
many authors. Experts nevertheless
are agreed that the advice is more
valuable in teaching principles, in sug-
gesting
ungesting means of experimenting and
In designating the probabilities of any
line of action than in specifylug what'
particular fertilizer should be used.
Uniform uses of certain kinds, how-
ever, have beep, decided on after con-
tinuous application to given crops.
For potatoes, for instance, phosphate
has been found to be the best fertilizer,
applied in quantities from 400 to 600
pounds to the acre. High grade am-
moniated phosphate to the amount of
600 pounds to the acre may also be
used with good results, and, besides,
it is adaptable for nearly all vegeta-
bles. •Nitragin has been found excel-
lent for inoculating clover and other
legumes. It is a liquid fertilizer to be
dissolved in water. The seed is sat-
urated in the solution to state a quick,
germinating process.
One of the strongest fertilizers used
for farming and gardening in general
is nitrate of soda, brought here from
Chile, Only 100 or 150 pounds are re-
quired for one acre, This fertilizer acts
very quickly.
It should be applied. after the plants
are above ground. The safest way to
use it Is to dissolve half a pound of ni-
trate in ten gallons of water and then
spray with. the solution. In small gar-
dens the solution may be sprinkled
with an ordinary watering can.
Still another fertilizer for field and
lawn uses is sulphate of iron, 100
pounds of which dissolved in fifty-two
gallons of water Is sufficient for treat-
ing one acre. The solution should be
applied with a fine sprayer. It is an
excellent destroyer of the Canada this-
tle and other weeds difficult to erad-
icate. Bone flour is recommended for
potted plants and flower beds, while
other good fertilizers for general use
are bonemeal, from G00 to 800 pounds
to an acre, and wood ashes, the latter
requiting at least 1,000 pounds to im-
prove the soil of a similar area.
Intensive cultivation is expensive
and Is called for at times when farm
labor is extremely busy, but there
seems to be no other way to eradicate
some weeds completely. The cost of
cultivation is in many cases returned hi
the increased yield of the crops follow-
ing.
Short crop rotations are useful in
keeping quack grass under control,
and, when arranged so as to provide
an opportunity to attack the quack
grass at seasonable times, they will
permit eradication of the weed without
losing the use of the land. A good
two-year rotation for this purpose uses
ensilage corn after fall rye. Plow the
land after removal of rye, disk and pre-
pare for ensilage corn the next year.
Plow the land after harvesting the
corn and sow to rye immediately. The
following three year rotation may be
used: (1) Fall rye or barley seeded to
clover; (2) clover hay, first crop; plow
between July 1 and Aug. 1 and disk
as' above; (3) ensilage corn. A fall rye,
corn, barley and clover rotation may be
managed so as to eradicate the quack
grass between the first and second
years.

to become still greater In this respect.
All interested in paper and tbe mater-
ials from which it is produced, (pulp
and pulpwood), look fora and to the
issue of the annual bulletin on "pulp•
wood" by the Forestry Branch of the
Department of the Interior. This bas
been sent to the printer and a few of
the leadirg facts from it may be given,
In epite of the war the consumption of
pulpwood in Canadian milia was over
10 per cent greater in 1914 than in
1913,
Since 3910 the pulpwood consumed
in Canadian mills has a little more
than doubled. The consumption iii
1910 was 598,457 cords and in 1914,
1,224,376 cords, The commonest and
cheapest kind of pulp, made by the
grinding process and known as
ground wood pulp, increased by 9 per
cent over 1913, but that made by
chemical processes increased by over
14 per cent. This increasing use of
chemical processes helps the country
greatly as the product is worth nearly
three times as much as the ground
wood pulp,
Guelph is still the leading province
in pulp production, having 31 active
mills out of a total of 00 mills for all
Canada. Quebec produced 55 per cent
of all Canadian pulp in 1904. Ontario
came second with nearly 37 per cent
of the total production and the other
producing provinces in order were
British Columbia, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. The total value of pulp-
wood consumed in Canadian mills in
1914 was 88,089,868 and of that export -
ted to fnr4ign countries in a raw
at ate $6 880 490 making a grand total
of $14,770 358 for the value of the
pulpwood produced last wee. It is
interesting to know that the propor-
tion of pulpwood manufactured into
pulp in Canada is increasing over that
exported in the raw state. The bulle-
tin containing all the facts of this
industry will be issued in a few weeks
and those desiring a copy or requiring
immediate information on some parti.
nular point may have the same fur-
nished free by writing the Director of
Fnreetry, Department of the Interior,

Appeal To Canadians.
,Atilongtlt the euuuy. hospitals, where
our sick and wounded soldiers are
being brought back to health, there is
perhaps no institutions which will
appeal to Canadians more than the
taches of Connaught hospital. at
Oliveden, a beautiful country house.
along the upper reaches of theThamee,
which was given to the British War
Office by Waldorf Astor.
The covered tennis court, probably
the finest in the country, with its
appendagesout by the golf links and
close sto the football ground, st ithin
the screen of the woode, has beam
turned into a hospital building capable
of holding over 100 patients, This
c
a modat' since been ton has in-
creased to 500 beds.
The following interesting description
of this hospital is taken from a Londop
paper.
"What between the donors of the
building and the Canadian Red Ocoee
Society, this hospital is a model
The great height of the building and
its glass roof insure the wards being
flooded with Iight and air. The opera-
ting room is one of which any hospi.
tal might be proud. The X-ray room,
though small, has received high poise,
The laboratory, 'the medical stores,
the disinfeetor and other features of
the Equipment are all of the best that
can be got.
"The whole atmoephere is cbeerful,
There are beds in the wade by whicb
one does not linger—beds where the
signs of pain or of exhaustion are woe-
fully patent, For the most part smil-
ing faces greet one, and the .men are
laughing and talking in contentment
as they sit knitting or smoking. Just
outside on the terrace ie a row of beds.
Every man fit to come out spends so
many hours of the day out here where
he may watch his stronger fellows
playing bowls or football. No wend- ,
er that the wounded heal quick- i
ly, and the prostrate dream and sleep I
themselves smoothly back to strength.' •
The staff consists of 20 officers, 38'
nureee and 120 non-commissioned
officers and 'men, with many female
cooks and servants, All this will
mean a considerable outlay of money.
It should be remembered that this
hospital is a Canadian institution in
every way. It is manned by Canadian
doctors, and nurses, by Canadian nor. -
commissioned officers and men; it
receives Canadian wounded and is
supported and kept up by Canadian
money. It only remains for tbe Cana-
dian people as a whole to give their
whole hearted financial- support to
this Canadian hospital where our own
fellow countrymen will be brought
back to health and strength.

Half Mile Race Meet.
What promises to be the beet half
mile track race meeting of the season
will serve to inaugurate the successful
Michinan Short Ship Circuit at De-
troit, opening on July 5 and continu-
ing for five afternoone, given by the
Detroit Driving Cluil, whose Blue Rib.
bon trots are world famous, This series
of races will be the class of its kind.
The Detroit half mile track, built last
year, now is regarded as the fastest of
the smaller ovals and indications are
that a number of state and national
records will fall during the struggles
among the trotters and pacers.
The feature of all is the free-for-all
pace on Friday when the greatest field
of the year will start, including Direc-
tum I.,1:58; Frank Bogasb, Jr., 1:591;
Anna Bradford, 2:00e; Flower Direct,
2:01; Billy M., 2:011; King Couchman,
2:021; Our Colonel, 2:031; Single G,
2:071 and May Davis, 2:081: The aver-
age speed of the field is lower than
that of any race in the annals of the
two -lap tracks, and the field itself is
more sensational than any in the
grand circuit last year.
Robert S. Strader, of Lexington, the
mai who insists on clean racing, will
be presiding judge, and as the racing
will be on the point system it will be a
series of contests worth seeing.

WHAT TO HAI ME.
Farmers should raise tile things
to which their farms, their mar-
kets and themselves are adopt-
ed. They would bettor study
how to raise the most and best
of these things than to scatter
their energies over a great va-
Tety Of products merely to keep
from buying them. The men
who follow the right policy usu-
ally have cash enough to get
what they need from other farm-
ers who can produce it cheapest.
There was a. time When farmers
were compelled to brow or make
about everything they needed,
but that day has long gene by,
1t is goocl buss ess to raise
n
things—but the right things.
The ecntteration plan involves `

Employs Ten Devils.
Among the lllondyke Indians the
medicine "man" likely as not, Is a
woman. As a matter of fact, says
a writer in The Wide World, the
most celebrated medicine "man" in
Alaska at the present time is of ,the
feminine sex, The lady rejoices in
the name ot No -ha -de -Ian, Her name,
literally translated, means "The
woman who never came back."
Where, or how she got this curious
cognomen I was never able to learn,
but the old lady is very proud of it.
No -ha -de -Ian lives at the mouth of
the Koyukuk river, a tributary of
the Yukon, and has beezt the head of
her tribe for many years. To obtain
the post of witch -doctor it is neces-
sary, according to tribal lore, that
the applicant should have some ran
culler physical or mental develop-
ment. Hunchbacks are in great des
meed, and a childless woman is
looked upon as a certain possessor ot
supernatural powers. Anyone afflict-
ed with palsy or St. Vitus' dance al-
so can obtain a first-class job. It
would seem, however, from the view
point of an impartial observer, that
the witch -doctors, besides these ab-
normalities, are generally the pos-
sessors of a few more brains than
their compatriots. Relying upon a
few old tricks and their own native
intelligence, they manage to fool
their neighbors and lead a nice easy
life, accumulating for themselves a
good supply of this world's riches
as the Indian understands them, It
might be as well to explain, by the
way, that the terms "witch -doctor"
and "medicine man" are synony-
mous. The Russian word "shaman"
is often used in Alaska to describe
a medicine man, but the Indians
themselves always address him by
the reverent term "teynen," or, in
the case of a female, "soften
teynen," ,.

Evener Without Side Draft.
Here is the description of a foul
horse evener which will allow one
horse to travel in tate furrow and three
on the land side without side draft, as
given in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
The cut will show how the evener is
made, and the measurements are as
follows:
Two double trees of ordinary length,
a good, tough stick of which to make
rhe long evener, two iron pulleys
which will let a strong, small link
chain work through them, two bolts to
go through the pulleys and two strap
iron braces over the pulleys will be
needed. The stick for the evener
should be five feet four inches long,
and the first pulley will be put on
seven inches from the right end of it,
measuring to center of pulley. Measure
fifteen and one-quarter inches from the
center of this pulley mind bore hole for
the plow clevis. Now measure thirty
and three-quarter inches from the right
end of this evener and bore hole for
second pulley bolt, so that the two pul-
leys are twenty-four inches apart.
It is best to bore two or three holes
at the left end of the long evener. Put
the first one three inches from the end
and the others two and four Inches far-
ther in. This evener works one horse
in the furrow and three on the upturn•
od land with no side draft, say those
wlio have used it.

of one very small room with a tiny

rived porch that will be sure to be all
ruu around with roses. Outside they
plant a tree or a flowering shrub and
place beneath it the table and the
bench and the three chairs for the
"quiet corner." The little house is not,
of course, large enough to 'be used for
sleeping purposes. But it does very
well for light daytime housekeeping.
The family spend the day in the out
of doors, returning to their city apart-
ment at night. Mother brings the chil-
dren and comes here to Sew in the aft-
ernoon. Father comes directly from
work, and they have supper, and after-
ward they make the garden. .Ail
through the long, lovely Berlin sum-
mer evenings they tend it with Ger-
man loving care.
The outskirts of Berlin are covered
with the Lauben Ii;olonie in pictur-
esque profusion, so that almost liter-
ally every vacant lot is planted with
them. A garden produces for each
family all of the summer vegetables
and some for winter. There are also
the eggs from chickens. There must
• be the chickens, else what should be
done with the waste leaves that have
to be picked from the plants?
The German house'wife, you see,
comes of a race which has made of
frugality a fine art. To her inherited
instinct there is added also special
training to make her the competent
and capable household manager that
she is expected to be, In America you
keep house if you have to. In Ger-
many you keep house because you pre-
fer to and prepare to.
Every German girl by the time she
turns an engagement ring on her finger
must be well grounded in the princi-
ples of what is going to be her all ab-
sorbing life occupation. She may be
accomplished in music and French and
English, but it matters not in how
many other subjects she is proficient.
She would be counted uncultured in-
deed without domestic -training.
Her education is usually finished at
one of the fashionable haus'haltungs
schule where housekeeping is taught.
Sho may even be a princess of the
royal blood, and there will not be omit-
ted her training in the Most ancient
and honorable calling for a woman.
The emperor's sister, the Princess Vic-
toria, now Duchess of Schaumburg -
Lippe, took her housekeeping course at
the fashionable school known as the
Pestalozzt Haus in Berlin. The em-
perot"s daughter, the Princess Victoria
Luise, now the Duchess of Bruuswick,
was sent to the equally fashionable

Not Wanted In Quebec.
In the Province of Quebec quite
different views are held on the sub-
ject of women lawyers from those
which largely prevail in this coun-
try, as is shown by a. recent ruling
from the bench in Montreal. It was
held that to admit a woman to prac-
tice law would be "a manifest viola-
tion of the law of good morals and
public decency," and that It would
further be "a direct infringement
upon public order." Mr. Justice
St. Pierre said in delivering his
finding.
I am not- a legislator but a judge
and the question submitted to me is
not whether it should be more fair
and reasonable that women should
be placed on a footing of equality
with men and allowed to become
members of the legal profession, but
whether, at the time when the law
Which incorporated the bar of the
Province of Quebec, the legislator
intended that women should be in-
cluded in the law, and given the
same privileges which were granted
to the male sex.
I hold that to admit a woman, and
more particularly a married woman,
as a barrister; that is to say, as a
person who pleads cases at the bar
before judges and juries In open
court and in the presence of the
public, wotild be nothing short of a
direct infringement upon public or-
der and manifest violation of the law
of good morals and public decency.
No woman possessing the least
sense of decency could possibly put
to the complainant the questions
necessary in certain cases without
thrdwing a blur upon her own dig-
nity, and without bringing into utter
contempt the honor and respect due
to her sexes

USE OF FERTILIZERS.
A, Great Shortage of Imported Oradea,
but an Ample Supply of Domestic.
Though a great shortage of imported
fertilizers bas developed, an ample sup-
ply of doinestle and eolith Anterlean
grades is available. Tbcso lire bound
to becoipe substitutes for those here-
tofore imported trot) abroad. Teo rat-
ter are potash and suiphate of am -
motile, used for any crops; sulphate of
potash, used for root euel grain crops,
and muriate of potash, prhleip:illy used
for corn and grain et•aps.
Of the domestic and South American
fertilizers there are a number of va-
rieties available and, most important
of all, at prices as yet unaffected by
the foreign shortage. What particu-
lar to use end 11 t
lar kindso a how to apply
them are subjects which have been
discussed in bulletins and books by
many authors. Experts nevertheless
are agreed that the advice is more
valuable in teaching principles, in sug-
gesting
ungesting means of experimenting and
In designating the probabilities of any
line of action than in specifylug what'
particular fertilizer should be used.
Uniform uses of certain kinds, how-
ever, have beep, decided on after con-
tinuous application to given crops.
For potatoes, for instance, phosphate
has been found to be the best fertilizer,
applied in quantities from 400 to 600
pounds to the acre. High grade am-
moniated phosphate to the amount of
600 pounds to the acre may also be
used with good results, and, besides,
it is adaptable for nearly all vegeta-
bles. •Nitragin has been found excel-
lent for inoculating clover and other
legumes. It is a liquid fertilizer to be
dissolved in water. The seed is sat-
urated in the solution to state a quick,
germinating process.
One of the strongest fertilizers used
for farming and gardening in general
is nitrate of soda, brought here from
Chile, Only 100 or 150 pounds are re-
quired for one acre, This fertilizer acts
very quickly.
It should be applied. after the plants
are above ground. The safest way to
use it Is to dissolve half a pound of ni-
trate in ten gallons of water and then
spray with. the solution. In small gar-
dens the solution may be sprinkled
with an ordinary watering can.
Still another fertilizer for field and
lawn uses is sulphate of iron, 100
pounds of which dissolved in fifty-two
gallons of water Is sufficient for treat-
ing one acre. The solution should be
applied with a fine sprayer. It is an
excellent destroyer of the Canada this-
tle and other weeds difficult to erad-
icate. Bone flour is recommended for
potted plants and flower beds, while
other good fertilizers for general use
are bonemeal, from G00 to 800 pounds
to an acre, and wood ashes, the latter
requiting at least 1,000 pounds to im-
prove the soil of a similar area.
Intensive cultivation is expensive
and Is called for at times when farm
labor is extremely busy, but there
seems to be no other way to eradicate
some weeds completely. The cost of
cultivation is in many cases returned hi
the increased yield of the crops follow-
ing.
Short crop rotations are useful in
keeping quack grass under control,
and, when arranged so as to provide
an opportunity to attack the quack
grass at seasonable times, they will
permit eradication of the weed without
losing the use of the land. A good
two-year rotation for this purpose uses
ensilage corn after fall rye. Plow the
land after removal of rye, disk and pre-
pare for ensilage corn the next year.
Plow the land after harvesting the
corn and sow to rye immediately. The
following three year rotation may be
used: (1) Fall rye or barley seeded to
clover; (2) clover hay, first crop; plow
between July 1 and Aug. 1 and disk
as' above; (3) ensilage corn. A fall rye,
corn, barley and clover rotation may be
managed so as to eradicate the quack
grass between the first and second
years.

t'ulp Production Increases
Despite The War.
Some economists have termed this
the "paper age" from than increasing
use of paper in all waike of life. This
being the case it ie gratifying to know
.that Canada is one of the great paper
countries of the world and is destined
to become still greater In this respect.
All interested in paper and tbe mater-
ials from which it is produced, (pulp
and pulpwood), look fora and to the
issue of the annual bulletin on "pulp•
wood" by the Forestry Branch of the
Department of the Interior. This bas
been sent to the printer and a few of
the leadirg facts from it may be given,
In epite of the war the consumption of
pulpwood in Canadian milia was over
10 per cent greater in 1914 than in
1913,
Since 3910 the pulpwood consumed
in Canadian mills has a little more
than doubled. The consumption iii
1910 was 598,457 cords and in 1914,
1,224,376 cords, The commonest and
cheapest kind of pulp, made by the
grinding process and known as
ground wood pulp, increased by 9 per
cent over 1913, but that made by
chemical processes increased by over
14 per cent. This increasing use of
chemical processes helps the country
greatly as the product is worth nearly
three times as much as the ground
wood pulp,
Guelph is still the leading province
in pulp production, having 31 active
mills out of a total of 00 mills for all
Canada. Quebec produced 55 per cent
of all Canadian pulp in 1904. Ontario
came second with nearly 37 per cent
of the total production and the other
producing provinces in order were
British Columbia, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. The total value of pulp-
wood consumed in Canadian mills in
1914 was 88,089,868 and of that export -
ted to fnr4ign countries in a raw
at ate $6 880 490 making a grand total
of $14,770 358 for the value of the
pulpwood produced last wee. It is
interesting to know that the propor-
tion of pulpwood manufactured into
pulp in Canada is increasing over that
exported in the raw state. The bulle-
tin containing all the facts of this
industry will be issued in a few weeks
and those desiring a copy or requiring
immediate information on some parti.
