Question -J. C.; -I intend sowing
20 acres of beans and those are 15
acres of the land that were in beans
last year and I want to fertilize it with
something that will he good for beans.
It is heavy clay and the grub worked
in it some last year. What would be
a good thing to exterminate them?
What is the best variety of beans?
Answer: -This ground should have
been plowed at a medium depth this
spring. For beans, apply 400 to 000
lbs. per acre of a fertilizer carrying
1 to 2% ammonia, 8 to 10% phos-
phoric acid and 1%s potash. This
fertilizer should be 'worked in in the
course of preparation of the soil;
that is, it should be evenly distributed
on top the plowed land and worked
into the seed -bed as the land is disk -
"ed and, harrowed. The tillage of the
soil will to a large extent exterminate '
the white grub, and the addition of
fertilizer will make the seed -bed all
the more distasteful to this insect, as
well as strengthen the growing crop
against the attacks of the white grub.
As to the best variety of beans, it is
'impossible to stake recommendations.
There are numerous varieties of two
large classes; first, the bush beans;
second, navy beans. Catalogs of any
of the reputable seed houses recom-
mend best varieties to grow.
Question -R. G. K.: -What kind of
soil is suitable for asparagus? Is
is a profitable crop?
Answer: -Any soil that is well
drained and 1s sufficiently open in tex-
ture to allow the air to circulate with-
in it, is suitable for the growing of
asparagus. Speaking generally,
asparagus does best on a sandy loam
soil that has been deeply worked and
carefully manured and fertilized. The
asparagus crop does not begin to bear
heavily until the second year. The
crop is grown from seed, and the
seedlings are set out into the perman-
ent rows late in_spring or early in
summer. The following spring they
begin to bear. A well-prepared as-
paragus bed will bear abundantly for
20 years, and when in its best bearing
season, the crop may be cut twice a
week.
Asparagus yields and quality are
greatly improved by top -dressing the
asparagus beds with 1000 to 1500 lbs.
of a high-grade fertilizer in the spring
just, before cultivation begins. The
fertilizer should carry from 4 to 5%
ammonia, 8% phosphoric a'bid, and 8
to 4% potash, In cultivation, the
soil should be worked deep, but far
enough from the plants to avoid injur-
ing them.
Question -D. A.: -I want to im-
prove an old cut -over pasture that
gets dry every summer. The field is
very hilly, soil sandy, has never been'
farmed, thipk it will grow alfalfa. 1:
planned to plant corn, a short variety,
and sow alfalfa at last cultivation. Is
there any drought resisting grass you
could suggest? Will a green alfalfa
bloat cattle? Is alfalfa good for cat-
tle? Will.above plan work?
Answer: -Believe your plan to get
this land into alfalfa is good. I would
not choose corn as a nurse crop. Bar-
ley is preferable. Sow about one
bushel of barley to the acre and seed
with 15 to 20 lbs., of good alfalfa sped
per acre. In preparing the ground,
after it is plowed give it a dressing of
about 5 loads of manure to the acre.
At the same time spread about 1,000
lbs. of limestone per acre and work
these thoroughly into the soil. When
seeding the alfalfa add about 300 lbs.
of a fertilizer carrying 2 to 3% am-
monia, 6 to 8% phosphoric acid and 1
to 2% potash. Harrow it well into the
soil. This available pla`'nt-food will
help the young alfalfa just like whole.
milk helps the young calf.
If the alfalfa gets a good start it is
about as good a clrough resister as
you can get. It is excellent stock
feed but I fearif you pasture it with
heavy stock there will be a danger
of their tramping it out.
Alfalfa does not bloat cattle after
the dew is off it. Do not allow stock
to pasture on it while it is wet with
flew.
Question -L. C. P.: -What is your
opinion in regard to the value of ever -
bearing strawberries?-
Answer: Everbearing. strawberries
are a novelty inmuoh the same sense
that •.Seven Headed Wheat is a novelty.
They do notappear to have any great
commercial value.

lice, the flock can be continuously kept
in good health.
Thtlough ventilation is what is aim-
ed at in the use of open front poultry

ture. If this can be obtained in a
moderately warm house, by all means
have both.

HOW 70 CARE FOR THE DAIRY COW
Of All Farris eAninials the Grood'Dairy Cow Yields the Greatest
Profit.
It has been clearly demonstrated
that the good dairy cow is. a more
economical producer than any other
farm animal. Not only does site act-
itally yield more product fi°om a given
amount of feed but she does this at
the least cost and greatest prolit,
Notwithstanding these facts the pro-
duction of milk and fat from the at'er-
age cow is exceedingly low, being ap-
proximately 3,800 pounds milk and 130
pounds fat per''annum, which in value
Is less than the total cost of produc-
tion, Nevertlidl'ees it has been clearly
demonstrated that by better feeding
.and management this average may be
easily inereasedefrom 30 to 80 per cent,
with an increased cost in feed and
labour of only 10 to 20 per cent.; the
margin would be largely profit. Such
an increase is not only a financial
necessity but the patriotic duty of
every dairy farmer,
Feeding the Dairy Cow
The milk produced by a dairy cow
of proper type Is in proportion to feeds
consumed plus the reserve of feed
stored in thtfliody as fat and flesh. As
an example of the latter it has been
shown that fresh cows may be fed on n
maintenance ration or `even starved
for several days, yet produce milk in
fairly large quantities with, however,
.a proportional decrease of weight and
flesh. Again it has boon proven that
cow's of proper type baying a store of
flesh before calving will not only milk
more heavily but also more persistent-
ly during • the succeeding milking
period. It is clear, therefore, that this
supply of fat and flesh stored on the
dry cow of dairy type will be drawn
upon when most needed and be either
given off as milk or so take the place
of feeds consumed in supplying bodily
needs t'ha't a larger proportion of these
feeds may be utilized for milk produc-
tion. '
The dry cow receives little atten-
tion from the majority of dairy farm-
ers. The thin cow at calving Is in
poor condition tomake milk profitably
and cannot produce the rugged healthy
calf fitted to withstand the many calf
ailments. Allow the cow four to ten
weeks before freshening. A pound of
meal a day during this dry period is
worth as much as two or three pounds
of meal fed after the cow has fresh-
ened. On poor pasture, feed the dry
cow green feed, silage or roots -and a
grain ration composed of two parts of
any two of the following meals: bran,
ground oats, ground corn, ground bar-
ley, plus one part ground oil cake. To
the thin cow feed 4 or 7 pounds daily; if
the cow is in good flesh, give roughage
as needed and 1 to 2 pounds daily of
the above-mentioned grain mixture;
if the cow is fat withhold the grain,
but on the other hand do not sacrifice
fiesh or lose a thrifty condition.
Feeding at Calving
Feeding the cow at calving requires
special care, varying with the _in-
dividuality of the animal.,_ Be sure
that the condition of the bowels is nor-
mal, Constipation at this time is apt
to induce many troubles such as milk
fever, caked udder, etc. After calving
give a tepid drink containing a hand-
ful of linseed oil meal per pall of
water, allow to rest quietly for twelve
hours, after which give a warm bran
_mash, with two bran mashes on the
second day after calving. Feed a
limited supply --6 to 8 pounds -of
clean preferably clover, Draw a
little milk three or four times daily
for the first three days; do not milk
dry until after the third day, as such
a procedure frequently brings on milk
fever, On the fourth day start the dry
meal ration consistiing of 4 pounds
equal parts bran and ground oats. In-
crease the quantity of grain and
strength of the grain mixture to a full
grain ration ou or about the sixteenth
day after calving.
Feeding the '
ci ng h Frash Cow
The feeds consumed by a dairy cow
in milk are utilized for two purposes,
viz., the manufacture of milk and the
maintenance of the body. The cow
weighing 1,000 pounds requires the
equivalent of 10 pounds clover nay and
10 pounds oat straw or 35 to 40 pounds
of mixed pasture grass for mainten-
ance alone. To this must be added
the feed to supply eneryg necessary to
manufacture milk. Hence it le evi-
dent that the meagre feeding of cows
in milk will. induce little 1f any 7111111

It is evident that milt produced un-
der the latter conditions will cost much

Rations for the Milch Cow in Stable
The foundation principles of the suc-
cessful selection of feeds and the feed-
ing of dairy cattle depend upon the
palatability, variety, nutrition and ease
of .digestion, and succulence of the
ration given. All these essentials of
a well balanced ration for economic
production roust be considered when
raising or purchasing foodstuffs.
The inost economical ration must
have as a basis cheap but rich nutri-
tious farm grown roughages such -ns
clover or alfalfa hay, ensilage and
roots, The liberal feeding of meals is
advisable to balance the roughage
ration and in addition to provide the
heavy milking cow with an extra sup-
ply of nutrients in a less bulky form.
A pound of grain when the cow is
fresh is equivalent to several pounds
of grain after the cow has decreased
materially in her milk flow. Peed
1 pound of meal for every 3% pounds
mills produced; as her lactation period
progresses decrease the meal gradual-
ly to 1 pound for every five pounds of
milk produced:' A fair average is 1 to
4. Following are a number of well-
balanced daily rations for the 1,000
pound dairy cow suitable to the in-
dividual heeds at farmers throughout
different parts of Canada:
No. 1.-Iv1ixed hay 16 pounds, tur-
nips or mangels 40 pounds, meal mix-
ture composed of bran 4 parts, ground
oats 2 parts, ground barley 2 parts, oil
cane 1 part, cottonseed meal 1 part.
This meal fed at the rate of 1 pound
per 3*, pounds of milk produced
No. 2. -Glover or alfalfa stay 10
pounds, mangels or turnips 30 pounds,

composed of bran 5 parts, ground oats
2 parts, linseed oil meal 3 parts, fed

of milk produced.
No. 3, -Clover hay 12 pounds, corn
ensilage 30 pounds, meal mixture com-
posed of bran 7 parts, ground oats 7
parts, dried brewers grains 4 parts,
cottonseed meal 2 parts, fed at the
rate of 1 pound per 3 pounds of milk
produced.
No. 4. -Mixed grass hay 10 pounds,
oat straw or chaff 10 pounds, mangels
or turnips 40 pounds, meal mixture
composed of bran 3 parts, ground oats

pound per 3 pounds of milk produced,
No. 5.-Bronie hay 10 pounds, clover
hay 5 pounds, oat straw or chaff 10
pounds, mangels or turnips 30 pounds,
grain mixture composed of ground
oats, barley and wheat, equal parts,
fed at the rate of 1 pound per 3 pounds
of milk produced,
A plentiful supply of clean drinking
water and salt is essential for greatest
health and production.
Feeding on Pasture
Over large areas of Canada the milk
produced on grass will always bo the
cheapest. Hence the proper lease of
pasture is most essential. If cattle are
allowed on the pasture only after the
grass is from 6 to 8 inches in height
such pasture will yield most feed dur-
ing the summer and will be best pre-
pared to withstand drought,
Natural pasture may be supplement-
ed in the spring and fall by sowing a
patch of tall rye, or during the summer
months by seeding an annual pasture
mixture composed of oats and barley or
a mixture'' of eats and plover. The
most suocessful dairymen as a rule
feed a limited grain ration even when
the cows are on pasture. Bran 3 parts,
cottonseed

art
P or n
parts,
ground oats 2 parts, acid gluten or
ground peas, 1 part, will give excellent
results.

Supplementing Pastures
In the shortage of grass provide
good soiling crops, Supplements to
pasture are peas and oats seeded at
different dates, second cut clover, corn
and fall turnips fed with tops as
pulled. Summer silage, if available,
is both superior to and cheaper than
peas and oats.

H.S.W.:-1. The origin of the ex-
pression, "Getting down to brass
tacks," has been explained in various
ways. Probably it is derived from the
custom of marking. yards, feet and
fractions of a yard on the edge of the
counter in dry goods stores with brass
tacks or "brass nails." 'When the
cloth is actually measured the trans-
action has "got down to brass tacks."
The expression therefore would seem
to mean greater accuracy. 2. To clean

some clean fine sand or coarsely -
ground cornmeal as hot as you can
bear your band in it. Rub it well into
the soiled places, then shake it out,
and beat and brush the furs till clean.
The Cow that Liked Compositions.
Caro had never written a composi-
tion. At the city school nothing had
ever been said about them. But here
in the country, where they had lately
come to live, every Friday was com-
position day, and Caro was expected'
to write something on the subject
printed upon the blackboard. "Cows,"
she read, and felt perplexed at once.
"Make your compositions this week
humorous, or funny, if possible," the
teacher said, which sent Caro home in
a puzzle. What was funny about a
cow?
After school the little girl took a
paper and pencil and went out into
the pasture back of the house to study
their cow, and to write her composi-
tion.
omposi-
tion.
Billy Carpenter had told her that
cows sometimes chased people, but
this cow that her father had just
bought looked too clumsy and too lazy
to run after anybody. So Caro sat
down upon a big stone, and wrote
"Cows" in big letters at the top of
her sheet.
The cow switched her tail from side
to side, to drive off the flies, so pre-
sently Caro wrote:
"Cows are big animals, with long
tails that go svigglety-waggle."
Then she watched to see the cow do

something funny, but all she did was
to nibble at the grass.
Pretty soon this went down on
Caro's paper: "Cows eat all the time
and never stop. They have big eyes
that stare at you, and they have horns
to let down the bars with when they
go hone at night. Our cow is red-
dish, and isn't funny at all."
Just then the cow walked off under
a tree, and lay down chewing' her cud.
"Oh," thought Caro, "that is funny
They do their eating first, and then
they go and chew and chew and
chew!" • So she wrote down her 'dis-
covery, adding, "I wish I could do that
way, but mother makes me chew as I
go along."
A railway passed near the farm, and
just then a whistle sounded shrilly not
far away. It frightened the cow,
and, getting on her feet in a hurry,
she came bounding in Caro's direction
at a lively pace.
"Ohl" screamed Caro, and, dropping
paper and pencil, she scampered away
toward the fence. Safely on the oth-
er side, she ventured to 1oo11 back.
The cow was inspecting the com-
position.
"Ohl" cried Caro again, and then
louder, "Oh, my!" for the paper had
vanished in her mouth!
Caro went sadly home, to rewrite
her composition in a safe place, and
she added this to her first part:
"Cows like compositions, for ours
ate mine up."
The next Friday afternoon, when all
the twenty compositions were read,
the scholars voted Caro Clyde's the
very funniest one there.
The percentage of tubercular hogs
killed in the large packing houses
has doubled in the last ten years, due
no doubt, to the fact, that a concerted
effort to control the disease has not
been made. Hogs become infected
by following tubercular cattle or when
fed unsterilized skim -milk or butter-
milk from creameries. One tuber-
cular herd of cows in a community
supplying milk to a creamery, may in-
fect all the herds of hogs fed on the
by-products of the creamery.
Hogs do not usually contract the
disease from other tubercular hogs,
'hence the problem of eradicating the
1 lisease in hogs is largely a matter of
!avoiding unsterilized by-products from
creameries, feeding skim -milk from
• a tubercular herd, allowing the hogs to
'follow tubercular cattle, or the feed-
ing of uncooked garbage unless it is
positively from a safe source.

The description of the position of the

Latham, in The Risen Master) to im-
ply a collapse as the body within them

of Ills humiliation" (Phil. 3. 21) re-
suscitated, is shown by the different

Man from heaven. It is simply that
the principle holds infinitely more ob-

therefore his resurrection becomes the

i Preparedness And The
Family Sewing.
"You always get such a lot of sew-
ing done when Miss Smith comes to
your house. Last year site made
twice as many dresses for you in the
same length of time est she did for
me. How do you dolt?"
That is what folies ask my neighbor
across the road, Yet the sewing girl
likes to sew at Mrs. Neighbor's. She
never hints at being over-worked, and
she receives no more wages. De you
want to know the secret?
The time is coming, in some locali- V'
ties it is on the way, when our girls
from the domestic science classes of
our up-to-datest schools will do their
own sewing. They will do it
well and happily with never a sigh for
help from the dressmaker who goes
out by the day. But many of us, of
an older and less well-rounded educa-
tion, find it necessary to hire the sew-
ing girl once or twice each year. For
such housewives, as well as for the
woman who must sandwich the sewing
in between her housework, Mrs.
Neighbor's secret may prove useful.
The secret is just "preparedness."
Mrs. Neighbor gets ready for her sew-
ing week just as she gets ready for
fruit canning' time or washday. This
means that she gathers together some
equipment which costs very little but
which keeps her from wasting time af-
ter the sewing is under way.
If she bad a room to spare she
would make it a sewing -room and keep
it sacred to sewing, (But lacking this
she turns a bed -room into a sewing -
room for sewing week). Here the
sewing is done without the necessity
of clearing up and folding away the
work before it is completed. Here
she moves the sewing machine and
cleans and oils it thoroughly, trying
it out on a scrap of the material which
is to be sewed first, and adjusting
the stitch and tension. The ma-
chine should stand out from the win,-
dow so that the operator can sit with
her back to a good light.
The sewing room has a trunk or old
bureau which holds all the material,
linings, hooks and eyes, buttons, etc.
Patterns are all in a bag which is
hung in an accessible corner. Fashion
papers are looked over and plans made
beforehand as far as possible.
The thread is kept on a home-made
spool -holder which sits within. reach
of the sewing -machine. This spool -
holder is a small smooth board with
brads driven through it and extending
out one and one-half inches. The
spools are set over the brads so that
thread can be drawn without remov-
ing them.
There is a scrap bag or big waste
basket near the machine or the table.
A work table is another necessity.
This should not be the dining -table
because it will cause too much delay
to clear it three times a day. The
ironing -board will do for a cutting
table, but is rather narrow when cut-
ting clothes for grown-ups. A re-
gular folding sewing -table is not ex-
pensive and will pay for itself many
times, as will a sleeve board for use in
pressing the new work. A big old
mirror is a useful thing t'o have in
making fittings.
Then plenty of pins, needles, bast-
ing thread, a bit of chalk and a soft
pencil or charcoal stick for marking
through the perforations of patterns,
a sharp knife for ripping, and a tape
measure may be arranged in one draw-
er hine.
Clothesofthe macthat are to be made over
are ripped, cleaned and pressed before
the seamstress arrives. The dress-
iest gown is made last, so that its
planning can be talked over while
fingers are busy with other work that
requires no discussion.
Our neighbor across the road works
with the sewing girl. She bastes and
does hand work, sews on hooks and
eyes, draws the bastings, even cuts out
after the pattern has been pinned
to tate goods. In fact, she gives her
whole time to the sewing
while the
girl is in the house.
For this reason the meals are ar-
ranged before hand as far as possible.
Baked beans and brown bread, a din-
ner of corned beef and cabbage boil-
ed together.with other vegetables, all
started at breakfast time, or slices of
roast meat or chicken warmed over in
its own gravy are quickly served on
sewing clays. For desserts there are
any kind of pie which is good cold, or
canned fruit and cake, or short -cake
made of stale sponge cake smothered
with a fruit sauce and served with
cream.
At Mrs. Neighbor's the sewing girl
simply takes off her hat, puts on her
apron, and sets to work. Prepared-

The Telegrapher. -
As I was sitting hi the wood
With violets in my lap,
Behold! I hearda telegraph
Near by go tap -tap -tap,
O'er (bush and briar and bubbling

wthe sound,
And lo! upon ?ton a hollow tree
The telegrapher found.
A woodpecker sc '
in :markt cap
And black and white surtout,
A sentence to a grub beneath

He does not need an instrument
His messages to flesh,
For he's the first inventor of
The code of dot and dash,
