Question-C.M.B.:-If I should plow under a patch of buckwheat to kill quack grass, what damage, if any, would it do to the ground if plowed when the buckwheat is in full bloom? Answer: -To plow under buckwheat in full bloom will do no damage to your soil; on the contrary, it will do good by adding humus or organic mat- ter, which will help the fertility of the soil. Be very careful to work the buckwheat thoroughly into the soil by disking and harrowing; otherwise it will form a coarse mat as you turn the furrow over. Such a mat seri- ously injures the rise of moisture in the soil. I have known instances where the turning under of a heavy crop of buckwheat, rye or clover - without caro to working same into the soil -has actually starved the follow- ing crop by cutting off its moisture supply. Question-A.J.S.:'-What can I sow that will furnish cow pasture for the late summer and fall? I have lost my seeding this season and will be short of pasture after the middle of August. I have six acres of sandy loam, in a fair state of cultivation that grew a.big crop of clover last yeah, but was pastured off very close last fall that I was thinking of sowing to oats and rape. Will the oats keep growing if they are pastured off or clipped? Can you suggest anything better? Would I stand any show of getting a catch of clover if I seeded In this pasture crop? Answer: -I would advise sowing the following mixture; -1 bushel each per acre of wheat, oats and barley, and 10 lbs. of common red clover to the acre. Would work in 200 to 300 lbs. per acre of fertilizer carrying 2 to 3% ammonia and 8 to 12% phosphoric acid. This available plantfood will hasten the growth of the grain. As a rule grain does not continue to make growth if it is allowed to come into head. This mixture has given good results as summer pasture. Question -L. ,H.: -We have four acres of light sandy soil which I would offittl In August all surplus Leghorn cockerels and cockerels of other light weight breeds should be marketed as broilers. They are of little value as roasters. tireen ducks are young ducks from 8 to 12 weeks old. They should be sold before they moult. At the present time when growing chicks are attaining an age of from one month to ten weeks, a disease (known as coccidiosis) affecting the liver.and bowels, is causing consider- able losses. This disorder according to Dr, Wickware of the Experimental Farm is quite prevalent throughout Canada and is probably responsible for many deaths at..present attributed to white diarrhoea. The disease is caus- ed by a small egg-shaped germ which inhabits the first portion and blind pouches of the bowels. It produces inflammation, of the bowels and liver, the -blind pouches showing the most marked alteration.. The changes in the latter may vary from a filling up with a reddish granular `looking mass of soft consistency to hard cores corn - posed of lining cells, blood, etc. The liver may show changes varying from WINTER WHEAT IN WAR SERVICE The Ontario Farmer Can Render Efficient Aid in the Present Serious Food Shortage by increasing His Winter Wheat Area phis Autumn.

Honey is a wholesome sweet and may be given to children occasionally with whole wheat bread. If the child has a well bal- anced diet he will not have an abnor- mal desire for sweets. 2. Lettuce is rich in iron. It is a blood -making food. There is more iron in a pound of lettuce twice over than in a pound of beefsteak and the iron of the let- tuce is all available for use whereas the iron of the beefsteak is less avail- able for use; besides lettuce contains lime, which is lacking in beefsteak, and is rich in vitamines, a highly es- sential food element. 3.

Ordinarily, five minutes of work will not kill a horse, but if the five minutes re in the afternoon of a hot day in ummer when the horse has been working hard beneath the burning sun, that small amount of time may be fatal. For that reason it is advisable to watch the horses to see that they are not overheated, Here are some danger signals every teamster should heed: An overheat- ed horse will lag in his gait, walk un- steadily and spread his legs when standing, Itis head is held low, the .eyes protrude farther than usual and to pupils of the eyes are small, reaching is loud and rapid, The loin is hot, the pulse quick and weak nd the heart beats violently and ir- ogularly, In severe cases the horse ill stop suddenly, spread the legs Part in an attempt to steady himself, id fall to the ground, When the herso'begins to stagger, it too late for prevention, If a sponge Curate i d with oldaloe h w had been t opt between the horse's ears while pricing, the trouble might` have been voided, The only safe plan to fo1- tv after the bone is overheated, is Unharness him and get him to a hady place at once, Cold water, thrown forcibly oh the a fairly normal appearance to largo ° areas of yellow color which when cut S into show a cheese -like centre.

Ohio Experiment Station, with 20 years' experience, says: "In the fertil- izer tests of this Station at Wooster, Strongsville, Germantown and Car- penter, the use of phosphorus alone has increased the yield of wheat from 4.85 to 8 bushels per acre; phosphorus and potassium have increased the yield from 6,20 to 9.19 bushels per acre; and phosphorus, potassium and nitro- gen, from 8.77 to 16.20 bushels per acre." The quality of wh'cat of the 1910 crop grown on fertilized ?and unfertil- ized plots was studied, The wheat from the fertilized plot analyzed 94% plump and 6% shrivelled; that from the unfertilized analyzed only 51%n plump and 49% shrivelled, (Data from Ohio Experiment Station Bulle- tin No. 248.)

Corn is a wholesome substitute for wheat, in the making of bread, and at present costs 7 cents a pound, as against 12 cents for wheat, In fact, the food elements in corn, wheat, rice, oats, rye and barley are very much alike, Corn contains a little loss body building material (pro, tein) than wheat, and the protein of corn is not quite s0 available for growth. It also contains loss M11101, al substance than wheat, But the differences in these respects are very. slight On the other hand, corn con- tains more body heat and energy ma- terial than wheat, A pound of Indian corn contains 1,620 heat and energy calories, or food units, which is enough for nearly half the day's ration needed by a big man at active exercise, Corn meal mush taken with whole milk, equal parts, Is almost an ideal food; it satisfies nearly every physio- logical requirement.

Last week I got it again, this time froni n keen -eyed, earnest clergyman, the head of one of our large oily missions. He read behind my apathy the des- pondency of failure, and'when I rose with a dull "Thank you," to'his reply that there was no position open to mo-, he said abruptly, "Sit down," Then he told me story after story of men, to -day known and respected in the business world, who were once "down and out" This was the last; I will tell it in his words: "A man went to see a friend of mine, , also a clergyman. ide wanted a Job. He was pretty seedy --his shoes were shabby, his collar soiled, his suit un - pressed, II I There's no use trying, anyway,' he declared with a twisted smile, 'The whole rotten world's run by graft. "To everyone that hath shall be given" -you !snow the rest -"but from him that hath not." Well, there's always the river.' "The clergyman said nothing, but looked steadily at the speaker. The man squirmed, fumbled with his hat, gazed. at the floor, at the pictures, at the window -anywhere except into the other maw's eyes. He knew he had whined like a, coward. "'My man; said the minister finally, 'you're down on your luck. You feel that your life is futile, that nobody needs you. What you need is work, not money.

"'Ye -es,' came the hesitating an - ewer. 'Good ! Take this brick,' and he pointed to one lying loose in the fire- place, 'and carry it all round Madison Square; then come back.' "The man felt foolish as he picked up the brick. He felt more foolish when the elevathr boy snickered; but he remembered that in his school days he had never refused a challenge, and he vowed he would see it through. Solemnly he crossed the park and paced round the square, carrying his burden past grinning onlookers with as much solicitude as if it had been of gold instead of common red clay. When he returned his shoulders were straighter. He looked pleased with himself, though somewhat sheepish, "'Hello, so you've done it ! Well, don't you feel better ?' "He did -undeniably. He had not one cent more in his pocket, but he had forgotten that he was hungry in concentrating upon the brick.
