The miecies to plant depends on the soil, and the objects which the owner has in mind.

Each year dairymen lose thousands of dollars from returned sour milk, poor butter, and low quality cheese. These losses are very largely clue 'to improper dielleg of the milk and cream on, the farm. For good results Milk and meant" should 'be tooled to fifty degrees or lower mind held there; and hs this usually can best be done by the use of ice, dairymen should take advantage of any 'near -by lake or streaei to obtain a simply of ice for etext yam. • The ice -harvesting season fortun- ately comes ,at a time when there is' the 'least work on the f'arm'eormen and teams, and consequent, thee'ee- tual money cost is usually' 'not very great. The quantity of ice needed depends upon the number of nceas milked, and the method of handling the product. It 'has • been friend that, with a moder- ately good ice house, one-half of a eon of ice per cow is sufficient' to cool cream and hold it at a low temper - attire for delivery two or three times tan-- per te seheeduke provided Where emeelle istb A cubic foot of ice -weighs about fiftyeseven pounds, ee in storing it is customary 'to allow from forty to fifty cubic' feet pec ton for the moss of ice.

When re lake, penile or stream of dear water is 'available, some prelim- inary work in preparing the ice field will be required befere freezine weath- er sets in. It is therefore edvisleble to Make all plans for theworkas soon as possible. Water for the ice supply seamed be entirely ,free from contam- ination or pollution. Ponds' and slim- gish streams usually have grass and weeds grogeing in them, Sothat the ice harvested is likely to contain de- cayed vegetable matter, width is al- ways objectionable. They should therefore be thoroughly cleared of such growths 'before the ice has form- ed. In some seotions it is necessary to impound the water for producing ice This may be done dither by excavat- ing and, diverting a stream into the excavation, or by constructing dams across low areas. In localities where very low temperatures prevail for several weeks at a time, and the sup- ply of pure water is limited, 'block e of ice May be frozen in metal tans or in special fibre containers. In harvesting ice it is desirable to have a field of sufficient size to fill the ice %Ouse at a 'single cutting, as the thickness and quality of the ice will ;be more nearly uniferm, and the necessary preparation forcutting and harvesting need net 'be made.but once In -many instances, however, the size of the pond ce stream is such that it is necessary to wait for a second crop in order to fill the ice house. The av- erage farmer requires only a compara- tively small quantity of ice, SO that even a small harvesting surface will usually prove large enough, especially if ice is cut the second time. The square feet of surface required pereton when the ice is of different thicknesses is shown in the following table. Size of cake is twenty-two by twentyetwo inches.

When new cockerel's are,, brought into a flock there is often considerable fighting. This can be avoided by pur- chasing all of the ceekenes from the same flock and despesing of the old birds. Or hatching eggs can be pur- chased and the :cockerels of the new blood raised with the home stock. The toe peon or leg bande will enable the owner to distinguish them. On free range the poorest fighters have a good chance to escape from the victors. But in a' small laying -house the losers may be seriously injured by being driven about and frightened from the feed hoppers. Nest eggs are not necessary to make hens lay, but sometimes they are of value in teaching the pullets to lay in the proper place. This is especially true when trapnestieg is done and ills iniportant to have near- ly all the eggs laid in the nests and very few on the floor. Pullets are ene couraged to lay in the nests and not on the floor if they always see a chins egg in the nests. Eggs, laid in the litter are often 'covered with straw and lost. They telly "be broken and eaten anti 'help start 'the egg -eating habit. Rabbits Injure Brambles. We have found that it pays to watch the blackberry canes during the winter and note if ;rabbits begin visiting the paecb and eating theta off during tee night jtiet about et the snow line. Of soured, the fruit is borne on the wood produced •dueipg the previous year and if ranee are put down the quantity of berries produced is correspondingly eedtteed, If ehe rabbit visits are noticed early he the winter they can be trapped be- fore Much injury it done, ft is diffi- cult to peotect blackberries In the way treee are protected because of the large number of canes, A poulbey fence around the 'retell is one of the best proteceione. By keeping down breve pilem stone heaps and scrap piles, the rabbis' have feet places to hide tear the berry patch and there WIN be keg danger from the paste. We have netieed that the rabbits do not eat red raspberry canes on our farm, while they mill attack black berry canes but a few feet away. This seems to prove that time wild animals have considerable sense of taste and like to select their food from among the beat -liked plants. Field mice do not seem to injure any of our berry canes although they have injured young trees in the near vicinity. If there is danger of the canes being injured by pests limeys to remove all of the old wood after the berry harvest and leave the new weed until the next spring. Then the canes can be thimeed, out and enough left to produce a profitable crop. Fertilizers on Corn Pay Handsomely. Long time experiment's in • corn growing motions show matedal in- creases to be possible if fertilizer of high grade is applied in sufficient quantities. Four leading American Agricultural Experiment Stations have shown it possible to inc.:tease corn yields by ate average of 21.7 bushels per acre. At the smee. Nine the in - 'crease in fodder on the same blocks exceed one-half ton, Such increases If made on the avenge Ontario farm would be of enormous value. An in- teresting test in this. regard was cam' - vied 'on last summer ie Dundee 'County, close to the town of Winchester by Mr. A. Christie, the report of which is Its follows: e From applying 200 lbs. per acre of 8-8-8 fertilizer there was an increase of two tons per acre, from 400 the, of 3-8-8 there was an increase of five eons per acne The eon was well ripened and well eared.

After farmers have- formed 'them; organizations- for the hanaLing df the main products of the farm there still remains the problem of selling the small products, which in the aggregate amount to many 'dollars each year. The location of the farm, the class of products produced and the demands of the trade must he constantly studied. The rapidly increasing fas- tidiousness of the consumers is make ing the maiketing problem as regents vegetwblese fruits, eggs, poultry and dairy products more complex every year,' So exacting have many dealors and •consumees become in their de- mands for better goods that the pro- ducers must study their fancies, analyze them 'and translate theism, so that they can apply them to the mar- keting of what they have to eel]. To further complicate the selling preblem there are many consumers who 'buy food primarily upon the testimony of the eye, which is' pleased with form and coke, rathei than odor and flavor. One must produce such goods as the market demands, and have thent for sale at such times as ecople want to buy. The more favorable the com- bination of these circumstances, t' -e brighterare the chances of success. Take to market only the choicest goods and find a special marlcet for the poorest 'stuff, thus making a name for your produets. One can not change ,people's tastes. When a certain pro- duct is popular in the market it will sell quicker and higher than even better product with which the consum- ers are not acquainted. One must familiarize and praeticaliee the teach- ings of art and psychology in the growing and preparing of these small products of the farm. • There should be a good salesman on every farm if the best pekes are to be obtained for the products. If the owner is not a good salesman, the Wife or one of 'the children Should be encouraged to look after the selling end of the business. One scarcely realizes how many small things there aro about the farm that can be turned into money, things which in them- selves do not amount to so much, hut which amount to a tidy sum in the aggregate. A young lady who had succeeded in paying off hundreds of dollars of debts left by her dead fath- er told the writer that elle had done it by having something to sell every it was. the year, no matter how little swas The question of marketing the many small products 'of the farm is a serious cm.

M This usually ycesamsele. ss. on about ten days after the child has been exposed. The child may came home from school somewhat drowsy and irritable. An observant 'mother realizes that some- thing is wrong. The child .may COM - plain of feeling chilly and may even have a real shaking chill. At night the irritation increases and the child is feverish and restless. 'Sneezing, a hoarse, hard cough, and some running from the DOSS convince the- mother that the and has "caught cold." On the following day the child's blood- shot, watery eyes will attract atten- tion, end the experienced mother may then suspect measles. At this time a physician will usually be able to make St definite diagnosis, for on open- ing the child's mouth a careful look at the inner side of the 'cheek shows a few characteristic White -tipped red spots, the size of the head of a pin, which are one of the signs of measles. Mothers experienced en using clin- ical thermometer will, find that the child has some lever, reaching 100 de- grees CC 101 degreemor more on the second day. Usually after two �r three days of the symptoms described the rash ape: pears.

Careful studios have shown that the germ of measles is present in the dis- charges of the nose 'and throat even before the rash appears, In fact, just before the enema comes is probably the Mime when tics discharges are meet highly dangerous to other children. No child suffering with symptoms de- enebed above sheeted be allowed to go to wheel or to mingle with other chil- dren. In all cases of doubt a physi- cian should be called to decide what should be done, The danger of spread- ing the disease to others disappears seen after the appearance of the rash, so that in uncomplicated eases it is usually considered entirely safe to leave the child return to school a week after, the ease first appeared. Scarlet Fever. Within a week -sometimes within two or three days -after your child has been exposed to scarlet fever, if ehe is a susceptible person, you will hear her comelein of sore *nett. vote •e• urI e• m• enteany the :ere ten it, mid Mem lt,,elve to thirty- six hours later a bright rod rash will appeal.

By this time you will be pretty mire you have a tvell-developcd case of scarlet fever on your hands, and the complications and after-effects of this diseese may be so saions that no mother should attempt to handle a nee done. Deafness may result froin scarleefever, and ills not on unknown thing to leave a child die suddenly from kidney disease after it was thought he haul entirely recovered from an attack of scarlet fever. If your child has the above symp- toms send for a competent physician, who will guide you through the pit- falls of this disease. He will tell you that it is contagious from the very be- ginning until all discharges from the nose, throat and ears have ceased, usually a period of about five weeke. Desquamation, Or peeling, generally begins about the eighth day, but the flakes and scales are not now looked -upon as likely to be contagious. The pettient himself, and anything (cloth- ing, toys, upholstery, etc.), which have been contaminated by discharge from his mucous membranes are the chief infeeting agents. Hence, the import- ance of keeping the patient and any- thing which he has used from coming in contact with other childeen. As a rule, scaelet fever keeps a child out of school about six weeks, but this, of course, depends upon the cessation of all discharges from the nose, throat, ears and any glands which may have broken down in the course of the dis- ease. A frequent means of spreading scarlet fever are the mild cases -those children who do not feel really ill, and perhaps complain of nothing but a mild sore throat. But these cases are just as contagious as severe ones, and just as apt to be followed by ear and 'kidney troubles. Un•fortunately, too, a very severe ease may be contracted from a very mild one, and the mother who sends her child to school with a sore threat runs the risk of causing some other -child to suffer great harm and perhaps death. Keep your child at home when he has a sore theme. .1>7..liol,V"detOkv ,14wrz41;,^1. lb.iTEMEMENZAzi-.. . , • '" Cr - 41% V There isn't a member of the family need suffer from indigestion, sick headaches, biliousness, fermented stomach, etc., if he or she will take Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
