' When inoculated seed is sown 'the bacteria Which constitute the culture COO in position to enter the young roots of the alfalfa as they develop. On entering the roots the bacteria multiply and produce the charecter- istie nodules (little swellings) on the roots. The action of the bacteria when growing in the roots is to enable the plant to utilize the atmospheric nitrogen as a source of food supply, No plants other than the legumes (i.e., alfalfa, clovers, peas and beans) can do this, and these plants cannot do it without the right bacteria being pres- ent in the roots. Different species of bacteria are necessary for the differ- ent species of legumes.' , Ineculation of alfalfa seed -soften means tiin difference between a.good, vigorous, growthy crop and a poor, spindly light crop. Alfalfa nitre' culture (price 50c) may be obtained,on a-riplication to the Bacteriological Department of the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. Extract from a letter received from C. R.

THE RAVAGES OF THE POUL- TRY RED MITE. . Few keepers of poultry realize the full extent of the injury done by red mites. With the warmer weather the mites flourish and multiply until the poultry buildings become infested with these peate, and the ,harin. is done. The red mite is the most dangerous of the external parasites that attack fowl, and if 'allowed to spread un- checked, far worse losses might accrue than breeders imagine. These parasites are most injurious to youngechieks and brood hens. The persistent loss of young chicks and the failure of hens to bring off. good hatch- es are often due to the imitation caused. by the unsuspected presence of the red mite. The attacks of hoards 'Of mites weaken and predispose the fowl to many maledies, as well as materially reducing the yield 'of eggs. Some prominent scientists are con- vinced that thebite of the unite is venomous nnd that even worse dis- aster might result than merely weak- ened condition, brought about by the sucking of the blood. Undoubtedly many eases of disease and •debility occurring in the late spring, summer and autumn are di- rectly attributable -to these pests;' therefore information that will ren- der easier their recognition and ex- termination should be of interest .at this season. • „ ; -Mapaa people arel.-tineavare of the presence' or 'aPpearance of the mite. They %may not visit their, poultry houses ,at . night and the parasite is nocturnal; itadialikes light. The adult is seldom found on the fowl, in the day time, but emerges from the de- posits of 'filth and dirt that have ac- cumulated in the cracks and crevices of -the house and fittings, and climbs to his roosting victim to gorge himself with' blood. In cold weather the mites are prac- tically dormant, and are seldom seen, but the advent of summer will bring them forth in their myriads, and -un- less vigorous methods are taken to cheek their activities, in- some cases the death of the infested fowl will 'fol- low, or the whole flock will become .generally anaemic and unproductive. The presence of the mite may, be readily detected -by a close examina- tion of the roosts and nest boxes. The practice of running one's hand along underneath ,the roosts once a day is advisable,,es some parasites will Lid - here and ,can be aeon and felt dis- tinctly, immediate -extermination is vital, and stops should be taken at once to rid the building of all Artaterial that Will harbor anal protect the mites. Fit- tings should be remevede dirt and filth brushed out with a stiff broom, and the inside of the building 'and furni- ture thoroughly saturated with a pow- erful germicide by means of a spray pump or brush. ' Some of. the coal tar by-products used as sprays vary in efficiency when used in economical strength solutiotisc but where the mites are evident in small batches and only in places, these insecticides may be applied with a brush in their full cormr.ercial strength. , • A five or ten per 'cent, solution of carbolic acid is very effective, but not without danger as a spray. -It can, however, be recommended iproper precautions are taken.

THINNING APPLES. The reason for thinning the set of apples on a tree .is to reduce the num- ber of low grade apples. Inferior apples may be due to insect or fungus injury, oyer -production on a spur re- sulting -in a lack of site and uniform- ity, or, faulty. pollination. The object otthinning therefore if ,to remove de- fective fruits 'and also some of those growing in clusters, so that the re- maining apples will grow larger; of) a greater.auniformity „and 'of a aeetter colora important•toliave ahgood set of fruit, but it is impossible in general to expect a tree with a heavy set of fruit to mature a high percent- age of first grade apples. One often notices a heavily laden tree producing remarkably uniform apples, and this is possible on a very vigorous' tree growing under favorable conditions. In most cases, hoWesier, if the set is good, thinning of theefruit is siecea- sary if the No. 3 apples are largely' to be eliminated, as theji should be. There certainly is little'if any profit in inferior fruit, and the expense of thinning is 'offset by not having this fruit to pick 'and handle. Thinning is done about the middle of July in Nova Scotia, or soon after the drop of ineffectively pollinated apples has taken place. This drop very oftan thins the apples adequately r —in some cases too much—nicking it unnecessary to remove any but the deformed or diseased fruits,' The second or third week in July, when,' the apples are one-half to three:. quarters of an inch in diameter,' is as late as thinning should be done, for I at this time the drop has been com- pleted and the remaining apples. are beginning to receive the benefit 'of this -removal. If the set is heavy the aPples should be thinned to only one in a- clueter; or, in extreme cases some clusters might- be entirely re- moved, It is sometimes claimed that' fruita should 'be at least four inches apart; some growers say Six inches, and. others' contend that eight inches is close enongh. Tests made on Ben Davis trees at Kentville show. that 28 per cent, of the apples were re- moved when the fruit was thinned to' four inches apart,, 22 Pe'r cent, when thinned to one fruit to a clusteh, and 36 per cent. when thinned to six inches apart. Ts necessary to aereove the fruit with it pair of small pruning ahears made for that purpose. The work can be done rapidly and without any in- jury to the remaining fruit, which is impossible if the fruit is pilled off by hand. Alight ladder such as is used for picking fruitis satisfactory. It is found that a fairly good ;job can be SHEEP Theae are very few days from June On till fall that sheep do not need some protection from the sun. Where tillable fields aae mastered and en- closed with wire fencing, there is little provision for 'supplying shade. On a great many farms all the shade trees have been removed from the„ fields to facilitate cultivation. • I have observed that some flock owners supply shade 'for' their flocks by allowing the sheep to occupy the sheepshed during the summer months.

My galvanized stock tank leaked in many places. I could not get a new one just then, so mixed up a rich cement and plastered it inside. When it dried I found I had mended my tank and it will do service for many years yet. —W, G. Bracebridge. ' MAKES GATE POSTS SECURE. I use cement to hold.my -gate and corner pests in place.

BUILDS RAT -PROOF CORN CRIB. A few years ',ago I 'constructed a corn crib and for sills ; used two six- inch channel steel beams' thirty feet long; placed on four cement pillars. I placed sills four and one-half feet ,apart and used cement fer-floop. I use,d lumber ie support my „cm-1'mM until, it woe set. I placed five three-cMarter- inch rods through' sills to, keep them from spreading and the teeth bars .from an old spike harrow -to reinforce the cement. I bolted two-by-fohr scantling to top of sills to toenail -my studding- to, 'and cement comes to top of two-by-four's, which incites cement eight inches thick at sides and five inches thick in centre, as I arched 'my form three inches, Mai crib is ten feet high and have had it full and it holds up perfectly. I have never seen a rat head coming through it, either. I have also cement floor in all my stables and find them, the cleanest and best conservers of manure of any floor I have ever tried.—T. C. Ste Making the Best Use of Ex-- perunental Farm Seed. - Many farmers this spring will have obtained ,,need grain of special breed - Mg from either the Central Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa, or from one of the Branch Farms • or Agricultural Colleges throughout Canada. From the former `ipstitution alone samples of seed grain, varying from two to five pounds each, were sent to 15,676 farmeas, who had applied for same. In tilecaseof most -of the other insti- tutions, considerable, quantities also were. supplied. These samples, if carefully handled, be theysmall or large, may form the basis of 'a supply of superior seed for the farm and sometimes for the neighborhood. A word regarding the handling of the foundation plots should be of some value. First of all the grower should aim to propagate this seed so as to obtain therefrom the greatest quantity of high' class seed for use the following year. The first consideration there- fore should be the seed bed and the second the method of seeding. While it Is now too late to nionsider these points this' year; a reference to them may be of value laten. The seed'bedshould , be well pree pared, well drained ,and ib a high state Of fertility to obtain-ariaxianum returns. It is' a, gded plan, to regard the foundation plot as a garden which usually receives a little extra treat- ment. As to the method of seeding, it is found that by sowing thinly, greater gross returns are likely to be realized than bY sowing at 'the usual rate. In other words, one Chn afford to be extravagant of, -land in order to secure the greatest poesible increase from the seed sown. ,. Before com- mencing operations, however, care should be taken to see that the seed drill is absolutely clean. Precaution should also be taken to see that the plot is isolated a sufficient distance from the poultry house to prevent an - jury by fowl. a Since there are really ways in which other kinds of grain mey find entrance into the plot, it is advisable that the growing crop' on this 'plot be watched carefully and all foreign plants re- moved by hand before or during har- vest. In ordinary practice a few heads of barley Or wheat or even other kinds of oats in a plot of oats are liable to increase in the crop and since they are not wanted by people who are looking for pure seed, it is well worth while to remove them. , Investigation has shown that -grain which has been allowed to mature is likely to be more productive than grain which is out on the green side. It is reconimended therefore that the foundation plot be allowed to become thoroughly mature before harvesting. The harvesting and threshing of the plot shoald be, performed caret fully so as to prevent contaminatioar all machinery being thoroughly clean- ed before beginning operations. The seed -should, be put -into bags, covered bins •or boxes immediately, upon its removal from the thresher, Care should be, taken also when cleaning the seed to see that the fanning mill as well as the containers in which the seed is to be 'kept do not contain kernels of °thee kinds or varieties. The clean 'seed if not sufficient in quantity for the spring eovving'requirements should be multiplied' with the same care as that exercised the first year.—L. H. Newman, Dominion Cerealist.

The Bobolink spend his summer in Canada, where he is vveleorned ae an irreptoachable bird who ehaamaqs with his song, and whose bad habits' have,yet to be discovered. During the early. liart of the summer Iris food consiets of injurious insects, and later this is mixed with weed seeds, so that he is indeed a great friend to the thrifty farmer, In the autumn his coat takes a more sombre hue becoming ochre with the brown stripes of the temple. His song, too, is not so sweet, and then he joins 'flocks of his spcies whene 'they frolic In the merShes till the cold days of fall warn them to seek a warmer cli- mate for the winter.

There he is eold often when shot. Whatever his faults are in the south; however, he is loved as a very useful hied and on of our sweetest singera in the north, So you see he' leads a sort of double life. ; Early and Late' Hatching— ' Winter Egg Production Compared.

In 1922 even more favorable returns were secured, the eggs . iseethe four, months being, by the early birds, 1,798, at an average profit of $3.73, compared ,with 1,068 eggs at an average profit of $1.75 by the late birds.

During recent years red clover seed produced in the Dryden district of New Ontario has been giving excep- tionally good results wherever used through Canada. The findings of _farmers have been confirmed by grow- ing tests carried out at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and at Branch Farms elsewhere in the north- ern latitudes. The success attained by this seed has created an active de- mand for it, especially from n the bet- ter class farmers of Ontario, During the past season the local Co-operative Association of Seed Growers at Oz. drift consisting of some see-enty ac - .The E onoriftY Hood's S.-xrtP 1,1.041*.'

Canada im- ports millions of pounds or clover seed annually, much of it coming efrom warmer'climates and therefore less suitable for Canadian conditions than the' New Ontario seed. 'This new nel- icy, which was decided on tea meeting held at Oxdrift on June 15, should not only , assist in further developing crover seed farming in New Ontario, but also assist the Canadian farmers in obtaining a thoroughly reliable class of clover seed. Feed Tomatoes for Large _ Fruits. , .Plant fewer vines and deed them during the et -tinnier and get larger e fruits and have them setbetter, is, the advice of an 'experimmed grower.

When the buds begin to show, a I complete fertilizer, ready mixed, can be used to better advantage, or bone meal may be substituted for the ni- trate of coda and applied in the same way but in wider strips. Once a month is' often enough to use it, This will make the vines set better. The ni.
