All of these points should be taken into considedation in plan- ning a real garden. Little plants must not be hidden by ball things. and there should be . as much bloom in the garden as possible from early June on. -QUALITY VEGETABLES The secret of tender vegetables, whethed they be grown in b, a city or an the farm, lies in quick growth, A check caused by dry weather or anything else invari- ably causes' woodiness, To elim- inate such dage,er experienced market gardener's push their plants along with frequent applications 1,' oariefuliy applied :dotnmercial fertilizer, GARDEN FOR THE ': ENANT Pleasures and profits of gard- ening are not cendined to the own- er of the property. Even the tenant who moves as regularly as May 1st may have a garden which will ri- val that of the most permanent nature. Of course he will not be int lined to spend a great deaf of money on shrubs and trees butt he gets much the same effect with annual flowers and vines. There are at least a score of big bushy annuals like dahlias, cosmos, African marigolds, and castor beans which will reach a height of three to lour feet by mid-July. These will furnish a n- ple background for the hundreds of dwarf to medium height annu- al flowers which are listed in any seed catalogue, To screen veran- dahs or fence, such things as scarlet rummer. beans, morning • glories or 'hops will do the job in a few weeks. Maintain Steady Egg Production That's The Key To Successful Poultry -Raising "Jtai.c;,c the Lying flack to keep produstlon above the 50 Per cent, level every 'month of the year." that's a new year's resolution ree- one-twi'ted to Minnesota poulltry- men by Cora Cooke, cmteoslon neultr3' specialist, University farm, St. Paul. What Means 'Profit 'Me flock that was highest in tte 1938 record flock project sponsored by the Minietota age caltutal ex- tension service proved that steady production is safe from the stand - Point o2 the hens and builds pro- duction that means profit. The top placing Reek of 189 hens averaged 221 eggs per lien during the year. Mc*t sign'ificalik, however, w'as the fact that the flock placed among the 10 high producing flocks in 9 of the 12 months. *Chick Size Egg Size The size of day-old chicks which are purchased is a good Indication. of the egg size of the flock from which they come, according to a writer to Hoardf8' Dairyman, The size of the egg determines the size of the newly -hatched chick. Since 'pullets usually lay smallsr eggs than hems from the same stock, their eblicke wilt be ,smaller at hatching. However, by 'th,e time chicks are half ,grown they usually overcome this handicap. Pasture Care Not Expensive Pasture experiments during the last decadeor so have demon- strated very strikingly 'the im- provements that can be :secured in yleld and suality of pasture herb- age and that these can be secured b yield and quality of Pasture herbage an that these can be secured very economically. Experi- ments conducted at the Fredericton Experimental Station, states T. C. Chiasson, agricultural assistant, have rhotic 'how pasture yields can be increased by the use of com- mercial fentilize'r. A pasture field receiving a .com- piste fertilizer- since 1926, has giv- en an average yield, for, the last three years, of 7,277 pounds dry matter per acre, compared with a yield of 3.303 pounds dry matter per acre for a field that had no fer- tilizer since 1923. This was an in, crease of 3,974 pounds, of dry mat- erial eosting $3.60 or $1.82 per ton Therefore there does not seem to be any doubt that fertilizer will in- crease yields economically. The herbage on the fertilized pasture was also much more valu- able as it was made up largely of nutritious grasses, and clovers, while the herbage on the unfertil- Ized pasture was comyased largely of unpalatable grasses and weeds, • Printed Matter Seized The Dominion Government made thousands of seizures of :objection- able printed matter anti received rosily complaints in 1938 according to a return fabled in Paadlament by Reverne Ministr iel'ray, The gov- e "meet. seized 26,639 magazines, 19.010 pamphlets, 3,897 newspapers, 581 broks and. 155 pl:^4neraphs of an nh'•1.cene na•tare as well as 3,917 publications considered subversive.

Few people lanow what the lives crimes are Oar which a person can be hanged under British law, 3•t is vossible to guess four of them, bet the fifth crime calling for capital punishment will prove a puzzler to many.

Time was when the introduction of a new implement was a mem- orable and historic event, but these were the early days in the appli- cation of mechanics to farming operations. Today, changes succeed each other with greater rapidity and even the most revolutionary innovations are accepted with little acclaim. Not in any period of the ninety years of Massey -Harris history has such skill been employed in the designing and developing of machines for the farm as there is today. The Company's engineers, in their extensive field experiments, are constantly testing new ideas and developing, under actual conditions, machines and attachments specifi- cally suited to the requirements of the territory for which they areintended. Thus, whether it be a one -handled walking plow to be used by a native, and even perhaps drawn by natives, on the South African,veldt; a power -driven mower to cope with the luxuriant growth of grass on an English meadow, or the One -Way Disc Seeder developed to help the farmer on the prairies of Western Canada combat soil drifting, it is the result of definite scientific research by the Company's fleld engineers. And in the motorized mechanization that is taking place in farming operations, Massey -Harris is in the forefront, still pioneering in bringing to farmers the latest developments in Tractors, Combines and other power equipment.
