Hardclimbing roses need little
pruning. Tie up the canes to sfford
free circulation of air, and cut away
useless old smote. Thin out weak side -
shoots and shorten the tips of last
year's canes where they have been
frosted. To support the anee, mos
strips of leather or heavy muelin
loosely axound them. ,
Silage is frequently wasted. or its
feeding value is impaired by im-
properly removing it from the silo.
No more silage should be removed,
from the surfece than is required for
one feeding- or, when weather condi-
tionswill permit, for one day at most.
An average of about two 'inches sheuld
be removed from the entire surface.
Loosen no more silage than is re-
moved. Keep the surface level and
compact at all tines.
By hitching a third horse to a two -
horse walking plow a man can cover
at leastiotie-quarter of an acre more
a day. I This makes a difference of
about five acres in twenty days. Three
horses to a sixteen-ineh plow should
do at least half an acre more a day
than two horses to a twelve -inch plow,
if the depth of plowing is the same. -
Passing along the road one day;
on a trip away from home, the steady
chug of some sort of machine came
to my ears.. Looking around, I found
that down under a bank a little water
ram was tugging away to lift'and to
push water up a hill to a teak that
supplied two or three families. They
put it in together and shared 'the
benefits. Such a ram does not need
so much water to operate it as a water
wheel does.
We get in -a hurry most years to
turn the cows out to pasture. There
is such a thing as hustling them out
too soon. Poor grass and little of it
doesn't make milk very fast; but it
does set the pasture back for a long
time to be trodden down too early.
All cattle under thirty months old
should be vaccinated for black -leg be-
fore turning to pasture. If 'you have
never vaccinated, get your county
agent to teach you. Take out insur-
ance on liVe stock, as well as on
buildifige.
The road drag should be used after
each ram. Don't go on the road while
too muddy; let it dry out slightly.
WIN) properly used, the drag brings
a thin laydr of earth toward -the centre
of the road, which is rolled and packed
between wet periods. If too =eh
crown is secured by dragging, the
angle of the drag should -be reversed.
Getting the earth roads graded, ditch-
es open, -well-drained and properly
crowned by dragging, is about all that
can be done until the people are reedy
to surface the earth with gravel,
broken stone or some other surfacing
material.

growers tow 'oats and rape together

is from six to eight pecks of oats and

Planting Nursery Stock
When the ground has been properly
prepared and the planting stock has
been carefully handled it is not a very
difficult taskeeo do the actual planting.
Late afternoon or a cloudy day is the
best time, for it. This gives the best
opportunity to keep the roots from
drying out 'and to allow the plant to
recover from the operation before it is
exposed to the heat of the sun.
Dig a hole large enough to aceem-
modate all theroots withoet crowding.
Spreading the rootg in this way gives
the plant a better chance to collect
food and water. Take a single plant
from the bucket, being eareful not to
pulr the roots of the other plants up
out of the water with it, and place it
immediately. in bhe hole. Hold the
plant with one hand so that the
ground line will come at about the
same place that it did before the plant
was dug up. With the other hand sift
in some fine dirt, rather sparingly at
first, and see to' RI that it is well dis-
tributed and pushed firmly around the
roots. No hollows nor openings
should be left. When the hole is about
half filled, pack the dirt down firmly
with the 'knuckles. The rest of the
dirt may be scraped in with the spade
and tramped down with the foot. It is
a good practice to put the top soil in
the bottom of the hole and fill in with
other dirt. This makes the richer soil
immediately available for the roots
and gives the deeper soil a chance to
mellow on the surface.
In the case of ornamental trees and
shrubs, where water R convenient and
the piants not too numerous, it is it
good thing to soak the ground around

the plant thoroughly -immediately
after planting. This settles the earth,
brings it in oloser contact with the
roots and helps to replace immediately
the water Which the plant lost while
out of the ground. In the ease of a
windbreak or grove, such watering is
not practical. It is cheaper to let the'
temp take their chances withouteit,
and then replace the failures the next
year.
Such careful practice as the above
ls entirely necessary with evergreens
12 reasonable success is expected. It
is not' essential with broadleaf _shrub-
bery and hardwood trees, but they are
more thrifty when suoli care is taken.
If the plants are too large to handle
in this way, cover the roots with some
wet sacking. They may be able to,
stand considerable exposure and live,
but it --does not help them any, and
every effort should lie made to keep.
them from drying out any more than
is necessary.
Shrubbery must be spaced wording
to the size of the plants and no de-
finite rule can be given for it. By
the size of the plant Is meant tho size
at maturity and not the size of the
planting stock. Trees along a road-
way or !street should never be planted
closer than forty feet, and im most
ea,ses' fifty feet is better. No tree,
except a dwarf pine, should be planted
closer than twenty feet to the house,
and specimen trees -should, be given a
space at least thirty feet square.
Where groups of evergreens are want-
ed the trees may 'be spaced as close
as six or eight feet. All trees for
groves or windbreaks may be belt
arranged four feet apart in rows
eight feet apart.

Invisible Liens on: Farms
Most people investing in farms am
cautious enough to emproy a com-
petent lawyer to look into the court
records and see that there is no en-
cumbrante resting upon the property,
such as unpaid taxes, judgments,
mortgagee and liens of any sort. And
even after they are satisfied as to. all
this, they require a deed in which the
seller warrants the title free and clear
of all enleumbrance,,
So fare so good; Mit there are in-
visible liens or encumbrances of. art,
°thee cheracter resting -upon many
farms, ankthese deserve consideratio.p
and forethought from the prospective
buyer. Many men search the prem-
ises carefully, test the soil, look at the
growing crops, examine the blinding's
minutely, weigh the advantages and
disadvantages of being near town, of
being on a pike, and of 'various other
items, all good in, themselves and
worthy- of consideration; but these
men forget to ask about the neighbors
that join on either side, about the
spirit of the neighborhood, the educa-
tional advantages, the social life and

Some HOUfleS Hasher Disease.
As health is a pettne consideration
the house should be looked over care-
fully. Does it stand in a low, un-
healthful situation, and is it dark and
indonvenient? It is easy to say: "Of
course we expect to make some re-
pairs" And to pass the matter over
lightiy. But most.people moving to
a new- location do :not make repairs
at once, and there, are some defects
that/can not be remedted.
One family I 'know moved into a
low; .damp house. In the cellar then
was a spring that coeld not be eon -
trolled, and later the family learned
that duting the past ,cleeade gig people
had died -of tuberculosis in that house.
The walls were repapered, it is true,
and the few windoevs were opened
wide, but the family could not afford
a new house,. or felt they could not
afford it, because they were already in
debt. So they lived in the house and,
tried in vain to sell the farm and get
away. Not until two members of
their family had died did they get
nto a 'better location. It is well to
nquire about the health of the people
who want to sell, and to examine the
basement. more closely than the par,
or before buying.
these days of scarcity of labor,
farmers roust -co-operate--and -be -help-
dul at threshing time, shredding time,
and on other occasions, for with people
pullini apart there -is no advautage.
In many neighborhoods it is not un-
cointrion for three or four threshing
rigs to work on the same day, all of
them short handed and all working at
a disadvantage, shnply because neigh-
bors .can not- agree. There are some
men with whom it is shuply impos-
sible to join. fences without coneta'nt
friction. So it is well to look into
these matters before investing. Be
sure of one thing -if a man -has good
neighbors with whom it' 18 easy to live
in harmony he will mention the fact
in trying to make a sale.
Thep- there is the social status of
the Community that must not be
ignored. To move into a neighbor-
hood with low moral standards, zi o de.
sire for education, disregard for
thurch life, nothing higher than'
money -making for an ideal, and an
ignorance of the sweet, pleasant social
1ife that makes toil enjoyable is to
t move into trouble.
A woman who wai bemoaning the
marriage of her only daughter with a
low, uneducated fellew, said trnly that
if they had lived in it community
where the aims were higher arid the
social life uplifting the daughter
would never have been lured into a
• runaway enatch with a handsome tm-
principled man. At school and at all
the few social gatherings of the com-
munity rough jests and uncouth talk
prevailed. • All the- money the father
was able to lay by for his daughter
could never make her life anything
but a failure, for she had bound her-
self to the standards of that commun-
ity. It is both foolish and useless
to imagine that children.ean•associate

CHILD
SPOILING THE
Prances is three y,ears old, very
pretty -and winsome. There are in the
family two older sisters and - one
brother, besides the father and mothex '
and an aunt. All the members of the
family have been much interested in
the baby since her birth and they
have given her a good deal of often -
Eon., They are a social family, and;
many friends call upon them andtifity
go freiptently ro ''Vfgit theft': friends.
Wheever comes to the house must
say something to Frances and sbow
hex nauth they think of her by talk-
ing mineh to her, taking her in their
arms, offering to do this or that for
her, and so on. The members of the
family like to have people notice.the
child because she is such an attrative
little thing. But she is causing some
apprehension now because whenever
anyone'speaks to her she says, "No,
no," in a petulant voice. If any ques-
tion is asked or any advances made
toward her, her one response will be,
"No no." The parents think she is
developing a bad habit and should
have some training to correct it.
One way to prevent Frances from
forming an annoying habit and ac-
quiring an irritable disposition'is for
the members of the family and all
others to leave her alone more than
they now do. She is being spoiled by
over -much attention. Her "No, DO,"
is a kind of peotection against the
irritating actions of the people around
her. She should be taken only very
rarely to neighbors and friends for
visits. When friends come to the house
she should -be -kept apt of sight for the
most part -in her sand -pile or play-
ing with blocks ir dolls alene. The
brothers and sisters should leave her
to her own devices more then they' do.
She -must grow from within quietly.
It will aka -thine -tintei the family
to learn that they should lite 'make •
a plaything of their little girl. Theiy-e,_
have not done this purposely, of ---e-------
course; they think they have been
doing the right thing in showing her
off and making her the centre of at-
tention.
There are a great many children like
Frances in Canadian families who
cause their parents trouble because
of their ihritability and lack of ap-
predation' of what is being done for
them. They would be more appreci-
ative if they received less attention,
and were left to themselves most of
the time without interference, even by
members of the family and certainly
by friends and neighbors.

Reforms That Are Needed.
By Ida M. Alexander, MD,
Men have met their group needs by
framing end passing/ laws to give
them the rights they feel they need.
They 'ore continually improving and
adding to these- laws. They eee the
man -needs of the world better than
they see the woman -needs of the world
and we have suttered because of this,
But now that we are to vote we can
have !DAYS passed tliat will give to
women the rights they need ntost.
Do we know what we need?
Perhaps if I tell you oi' some of
the problems that a doctor meet5. in
her everyday woth, you will see that
many reforms are needed. One young
girl remarked that she thought the
barriers of silence as to the laws' of
lIe should be removed. She is ratite
right. Another girl said: "A man
,offered me a ride home in his automo-
bile and while I was wondering what
to do, an elderly woman 4iatne along

and .how would 0 got diseased from

prices. Can't you * 0 0 " and then
comes the inevitable question! Illen
have passed laws to punish those who
interfere with the birth of children,
but they never touch the cause, and
women have been ground between the

the nether millstone of the law of
