Addreos cpalMialloations to Agroaornist, 73 Adela1de St, Wept, Toren to - Rolm For Sheep Pastore. Rape is the ideal forage eitop for shell. It net only lends itself ad- mirably to intensiye systems of sheep farming but it yields more and better green feed to the twee and at loSe ex- pense than any other cop in the long liet of eueeelent summer foods. It tides the flock over the dry, hot sea- son,. vthen grasees ere dead and field's brown, and it continues to grow and furnish luxuriant grazing late in the fall. It is extremely feasible to sow rape for fall pasturage and tun the flock onto the suceulent plots when the common pastures are exhausted or de- stroyed by early frosts. Nothing qua% it for ewes and lambs during the nursing periods, and for weaning lambs it is incomparable, carrying them from mother -milk to self-sus- taining lambhood with scateely a sign of shrinkage, Rape is unexcelled as an autumn food for starting mutton sheep and lambs on the profitable road to full grain feeding. • The feeding 'value of rape cannot be too highly exploited; it is not a' feed of week or mooth, but may be sow.n at successive, intervals so as to pravide -continuous pasterage from early Tune until late autumn. One acre of rape feed in connection with a lim- ited grain ration will produce as many pounds of mutton as two thousand five hundred pounds of corn and oil meal. Growing lambs and breeding ewes made greater gains in live weight on less supplemental grain feed when pastured on rape than alinilar lambs and ewes on clover pas- ture. A field of rape and sufficient Part - able fencing to provide tbe flock with fresh grazing as the occasiou demands will be of great value in maintaining the breeding ewes and conditioning the lambs into that desired quality and excellent condition so important on the market. The portable fences permit of frequently changing the ewes and lambs that are 'being con- ditioned to new areas of the rape field as soon as the crop is consumed. When first turned in upon a field of rape sheep and lambs should become gradu- ally accustomed to the change and allowed to have continued access to it, unless in time of storms, and, when once removed, care must be taken not to put them back upon it when hun- gry. If the sheep get a moderate amount of grain feed in the morning before they are turned on the rape field the danger of bloat and digestive derangements ie to nine extent lessen- ed. Access to salt and to other kinds of pasture crops is desirable when the flock is pastured on rape. Two kinds of rape seed are upon the market; one i's the summer; the other the winter annual, or biennial rape. The summer rape is not suitable for grazing, be- ing grown commercially on a small scale as a food for birds. One should insist that Dwarf Essex seed be sup- plied. The usual cost of rape seed is about eight cents -per pound. As a rule, three or four pounds of Dwarf Essex seed per acre, sown in rows twenty-eight inches apart will give the best results. Rape thrives best on a rich, fertile soil and better yields Questioning the Soil. Before attempting to grow alfalfa and soy beans on our farms it is well to put the question of inoculation to the soil itself in a practical way. By planting a few rowof toy }mane in various parte of the corn fields it is easy to examine the roots of the plants and determine if the soil will need inoculation to make the Cron certain. Alfalfa may be tried out in a similar Way by using a quart of seed per etre in the cloves and tims othy seed mixtufese in teeding ord- inary meadows. If the plants make good growth and develop tubercle upon the roots is safe to assume that inoculetion is not essential to make tle. 05'O 0 seecese.

I And that the come does best On an easy -working clay teem, well antler - (henna and rolling enough to pveveet standing water in case of excessive rainfall. Land intended for rape pro- duetiOn should be plowed early and thoroughly. tempered before seeding, Newly plowed land never grows good rape, as the moisture e_yaporates too rapidly and the growth and develop- ment of the plants are ehediced, Rape can be very successfelly grown if sown at the last cultivation of the corn crop. We • have seeded one or two acres of rape with corn for several 'pears and find that a. large crop of forage..ean be secured in this manner without additional preparation of the soil. Where the corn crop is removed and put in the silo the land is soon ready for pasturing. When the rape plant is about twelve inches high it is ready to turn onto, and if not grazed too closely it will continue to produce forage until frozen clown late in the fall. •Rape is an efficient weed destroyer. Where one desires to check the weed gropth on a badly infested field the preferable plan is to sow rape before the weeds mature. This thorough till- age of the soil at this time materially checks weed growth and the heavy fol- iage of the rape shades the ground so that the weeds seldom grow and ma- ture a seed crop the same year. Ordi- nary frosts and cold ,snaps will not interfere with the edibility of rape. The sheep may safely be pastured until cold weather comes. To prevent a waste of forage, plans should' be Made to stock the forage pastures suf- ficiently to utilize all of the forage possible before weather conditions prevent the flock from remaining out- side. If a larger area is planted than the sheep can consume, young hogs may be turned on the field to assist in con- suming the -crop. Danger Prone New Diseases of Wheat. Aside from rust and -smut, Canadian wheat crops have been found eernark- ably free from destructive diseases. Recently, however, there have been discovered in the U.S.A. twe• new dis- eases, "Flag smut" and "Take all," about the presence of which there has been felt considerable alarth. Now up to the time of writing, Canada has not been invaded by either of these new troubles. But groWers should beever on the lookout for these and any other obscure trouble with which their prac- tice has not made them thoroughly familiar. "Flag smut," so called because the smut occurs on the flags or leaves of wheat, is easily recognized by the long streak of smutty stripes running The Welfare of the Home Don'ts for Mothers. It is quite apparent that a certain number of babies must be artificially fed. To this' end we will endeavor to point out some of the dangers, which we trust will serve as a guide. DON'T ask your neighbor nor your relatives how you shoield modify the milk for your baby. They mean well, but remember it requires scientific knowledge to 'dictate just how each and every baby should be fed. Con- sult your family paysician. • DON'T feed the baby every time it cries. Reinember the capacity of the stomach of a new-born baby is very small. It only holds from one to two tablespoonfuls, and should not be over- loaded, and the feedings should be far enough apart to give the infant time to rest and to,digest what it has taken. Most specialists now agree that, as a rule feeding every three hours until the flith month and then feeding every four bouts is enough, although some maintain that for the first - month every two hours is not too frequently. Furthermotee during the hot wea- ther, your baby may be thirsty but not hungry, and, therefore, every baby should have a little water every day. From one to two tablespoonfuls may be given between feedings, -two or three times during the heat of the day. If you insist on nursing -the baby every tinie he cries, the baby is going to cry until he gets fed. If your baby does not go to sleep soon after being nursed, or does nob quietly coo wheo laid dowri, it is pro- bably an indication that it has not had quite sufficient, and in that case yea hold consult yoor physician or otherwiee take more liquid nourish- ment, particularly milk, and a little more gentle excrete° in the open air. DON'T leave baby's milk stanclitig in the kitehen exposed to germs. If you have no refrigerator place it in a Vogel with a cloth around it, prefer- ably woollen or jute, which should be Twat damp at all timee, and keep in O cool part of the house, or dollar, constant evaporatioe continually hold- ing cloirgn the temperature. DON'T lige your baby ae a play- thing, and don't permit other people to do eo, with the pretense that they are entertaining the baby. At a mat- ter of fact, in the majority of 6598, the baby is entertaining them, when it thould be resting. Leave the baby alone as mean fte passible. It can entettitin itself better than you can. Plate it 11 5 rug, devoted with a clean sheet, 6n the fiber 60 015 a Set mat- treee, 'Where it call kick its linthe icl time how much . more effectively it can exercise both arms and legs when lying on its back that whenlying en your knee entertaining you. DON'T give the baby a pacifier or what is commonly called "Baby's Com- fort." There lamentably seems to be a feeling, especially among young mothers, that when a child cries, if it is given a comfort to suck, everything possible has been dens to soothe it. Don't forget that infants acquire habits very -rapidly, and, once ac- quired, they are difficult to break, If you rock your baby to sleep, for in- stance, after a few times, you will find it difficult to put it to sleep without rocking. The same applies to singing children to sleep. All such devices are means of engaging the baby's atten- tion until overcome ley sleep. The "Comfort," of all habits, is the most filthy, the most dangerous, and the most unpardoodble. Every nation shoald pass legislation prohibiting the 050 01' everi the manufacture of these public nuisances. Mothers that would not think for a Moment of taking theit babies to a place where there is any infectious d:sease, do not hesitate for a moment to give their child a "rem - fort," and they have 'beeo soil to put .the "comfort" in their own mouth to moisten it before putting it in the infant's mouth; and after the babe has had.it for a while, it falls out, and may fall on the fl000, and become eon- trimineted in that way,—or, if it lies out for a while in the ohild's cradre, in the sultry summer weathet, it soon becom'es covered with flies. It is thee picked atm and pet into the child's mouth again; and still you wonder how the child contracts disease! It does not reqpire any scientific knowl- edge to recognize what a filthy 'habit this is, and what an appalling 5011MC of danger; and, unfortunately, these "comforts" are most frequently ivied with children in a run-down, fvettul condition, evhen they pre most sus- ceptible to. itifectiOrt.

If the comb is lianm thetiird is only laying slightly; she is not lay- ing at all when the comb is dried down, especially at molting time. If the comb is warm, it is an indication that the -bird is coming back into pro- duction. When a bird stops laying in the summer she usually stereas molting. The later a hen lays in the summer or the longer the 'period over which she lays, the greater will be her produc- tion, so that the high producer is the late layer and -hence the later molter. The length of time that a hen has been moltirig or. has stopped laying can be determined by the molting of the primaoy feathers. It takes about six weeks completely to renew the primary feathers next to the axial feathers, and an additional two weeks for each subsequent primary to be re- newed. A good leaser is more active and nervous, and yet more easily handled than a poor layer. A high layer shows more friendliness, mid yet more elusiveness, than 'a: poor bird,' A lot - producer is shy and stays on the edge of the flock and -will squawk when caught. A high producer one year is, gen- erally speakina, a high producer in all dim years.'

SWARMING BEES , By W, SANDERS. The SIVarill is a phenamenen pe - whew to bees, There ere other ineeete that live together in .eolonies, but nenally their methods a naturel in- crease. take Mao in eonnection with o PeVied 125 their life -history in which the coloeial life is Ter the time being suspended. The humble bee, Sox ex- peeses the winter in a dormant, eonaition like the majoritY of insects, the queens being the only eurvivore, end the rest of the bee periebing. Then in the spring these tiumble-beee queens each start ufp a nest of their own, With the honey -bee, however, life is impossible except in 'the Sorm of a colony ',and therefore it must make good the roues of veinter and disease by increasing, not 'only the' number of individuals' in oath hive, th but e' oumber of hives, or colonies, by swarms issuing frima the more densely populated ones, Without this method of increase, bees would long ago have become extinct, for there is a certain amount of mortality. of colonies all the time. Swarming is marked by the most m rearkable exhibitions of instinct in the life of a colony. We know that by the Vine the season is for enough advanced Tor owarming to take place, that all the bees from the season be- fore have come to the end of their lives. . They only • live long enough alter waiter to nurture the first batch of their successors, and from that time forward the succeeding .generations are very rapid throughout the active season. We uee the word "genera- tions," but strictly speaking, it is not accurate, for the queen, which lays all the eggs_in the colony, frequently lives several years. It is not, however, ths fact, as has often been supposed, that the queen "leads out" a swam or that she has any special function in the matter. A swarm -will eineege with a virgin queen who has only been out of the pupa stage a few hours and such a swarm will behave exactly in the' same manner that their pre- decessors did in past years. Al] we can say about it is that they know by instinct what to do, and that is an- other way of saying that we do not understand it. Raise Thousands of Young. Do not specielize too much, lost you etivength beccine your weaknees, By all mcans 'sli7oeT-iTliati you are olive; bet do it net by Icitkibg but by A strong colony of bees build up their numbers very rapidly in the spring of the year. From the time when they come out of their winter tv quarters, and the 'eather becomes mild enough for them to break the cluster they form to keep warm, until the first flowers begin to yield boney, ths. bees raise thoueands of young Ones, the process of which consumes the remainder of the stores of honey laid by during the previous season. When the nectar- from the new see - son's crop begins to be secreted by the flowers in any considerable quan- tity, which usually occurs at the end of May or the beginning of June, the bees are 'beginning -La feel rather crowded and it is this crowded con- dition that constitutes the most ob- vious stimulus to swarm. The amount of ventilation afforded ay the entrance,* and. varying with its size, is also a factor in the case, and bee -keepers are advised to give plenty of ventila- tion in warm weather, and to give plenty of room by adding supers in order to hold back swarming, for swarming often cuts down the honey yield in a serious manner. Preparation for Swarming. The actual process is interesting. The first step is the raising of queen eells within the hive, for as the old queen ahvays accompanies the swarm tbe hive will need a new mother. The queen is hathhed from exactly the same egg as a worker bee, and in fact O worker is but an incomplete queen. To bring such a worker egg to full maturity a large cell is built, known Lo the bee -keeper as a "Queen -cell" and in this the baby queen passes her larval and pupa stages supplied with a much greater abundance 'cif food than a worker is given. The result is that the queen not only reaches full maturity and is capable of mating and fertile -egg laying, but the process is shortenectand in place of three weeks the mature queen will emerge in abou fifteen clays, The bees do not, how ever, wait so long before swarming and as s general rule the swarm wil issue On the that e at wnn day after the queen -cells are eealed, that is, Offal the embvyo queens hove reached th pupa stage. , Bosicles Oft raising of a queen to succeed the existing one, the bee make various other preparations, Th bees quit wet -Icing, and "loaf," as bee keepers often say. They hang outsid in great benches if the weather i warm,. end in general the normal lif 00 the colony is disrupted. - A coupl of days before rwartning the queen ceases to lay, 50 that she may be abl the better to endure Lae long flight t the new horne, and the bees se:ta OU SCOULA to search met a suitable plae tor the swami.' to begin hoosekamiing 21 niny he n hollow tree, a cleft in th rocks, the chininey of a vacant house ot some och place, but there is n doubt that the beee select their desti nation beforehand, for the swarn eventually takes wing and flies direct- ly in a stwaight to the new spot and enterS without hesitation, A neighbor of ours last seeson found, a numb.et of bees ordering a drain that was placed to carry off rain from .44 sieeping-poreh, and are enough •livio day e later a ewarne arrived and took posseesim • A eeerby bee -keeper smoked them out end hived thern be - fere they bad • made themselves too 17;i1naaltlyb°1111inee, ne warn( 'day, usatilly * S.

The queeo is usually amongst the last to leave Ana bev nressrles is necessaVy before the swarm will con-, ' tinue on its wdy. IT by any chance she' gets lost the bees will return to the hive from which they came.,This fact is made use cif ie some of the plans for swarm control, and by clipping the eruees wings so that she cannot fly, the retern of the swarm is ensured. Hewever, thinbees viten kill sach a clipped queen when they find she can- Oot storm, and then swarm ivith the first virgin that emerges, so that the plan ehoula only. be ased where the bee-keeperecan be at -hand to perforn the neeessary operations, It is a notable and beautiful, sight, to see a swarm emerge, and for a few moments the air seems to, be filled with bees with flashing wings, whilst the sound can be heard at a considerable distance. Our own bees are located quite a little distance from the house, yet we haye been on some occasions' apprised of the swarm bihearing the loud humming from indoors. A swarin,may hang clustered for a few moments only, or for several hours, Usually at least a couple of hours will elapse before they are like- ly to decamp—indeed, cases are on record where swarms liave emerged and have built their combs and re- mained in the open air on the cluster- ing place. One is tempted to wonder whether these ewarms issued before the scouts Ilea located a suitable plaee for them to go, or if not, what the stimulus is that makes the bees break up their cluster and proceed upon their way. However, the fact is that they will, sooner or later, decamp un- less hivecl. Hiving a Swarm. Tais process coneists of shaking the bees into an, empty hale, or in front of it. In the latter case; if a few of the bees dot to re-enter the hive the remainder will follow without trouble. If the bees are shaken onto a cloth or other smooth surface the process is facilitated. If the breach of the tree on which a duster is hanging.can be spared it is often possible to cut it off, -and to carry the brancla metre and all, to the 'hive. It is then dumped in front onto a cloth and the bees are, almost sure to enter. If a branch can - pot be, removed, •or if the bees are clustered on it post or other unremov- able place, then the hive is brought near and placed on the ground with a cloth before the entrance, the bees are, gently dislodged with the hand arid! fall in a bunch before the hive. Then, smoke is blown on the place where. they had been, to prevent any ,from returning and soon they will be all in their hive. There is very little danger of stings in handling swarms, for the bees are all filled with honey in prepaeation for the building of comb that is the first essential in their new home. When en tbis condition a bee will seldom sting, Nervous people often dress up very elaborately to hiva a swarm, but the experienced bee -keeper will seldom trouble himself with anything more than a veil to protect his face, and we have often taken swarms in the ban hands and placed the bees at the hive entrarice. The novice, however, had better take precautions, In practical management, the pre- vention of swarming is desired, as it is band that swarming lestens the crop of hooey. Where, however, a swarm t actually does take place it is good _ practice to remove the parent colony to a new stand and to place the swatm on the place ,previously occupied by it. The swarm is thereby reinforced by • all the bees that have marked the old e location as their home, and will pc - duce a fair crop of honey, whilst the "parent colony" is weakened suffi- • ciently to pee -gent afterswarms, and e will therefore not be wakened still _ further by them. e In the production of extracted wm s honey, sarcontrol is aecompliehed O by raising brood to the upper portion c of the hive, but in comb -honey pro- duction this is impossible, owing to e the necessity to crowd bei into the O little section honey-boeet, For th'e t comb -honey man, therelove, swarming e is uite a problem and the text books , of bees are full of pities of different e merit, for its •control.

Neither do they , ever pluck More 'blossoms than they can care for, nor lift roots as well as blossoms, All these little traits indicate how much they really appre- ciate flowers. .During the last few years we leave been aroused to a deeper. interest in the aet of the Japanese, who can teach us many things. They have a knowledge of plant life that is gen- erally recognized. Each season they introduce new varieties of plants that have a definite individuality: Their colors are true and the constitutions ef the plants are strong and vigorous. This is all the result of the attention they pay to detail, one thing we are apt to overlook. They are not only horticulturists, but they are artists as well, •and in no way is the real artistic side of their nature more in evidence than in the way they arrange their cut blcssoms. 'rile grower may be a mere or less practical business man, but the man who handles the blossoms is an artist who studies their arrangement. The scheme of decoration 11111Si be harmonious, the composition pleasing. the receptacle must be the right kind of shape, the surroundings must be suitable. These are only some of the things to consider; there are seven rules: First. Avoid all angles, Second, Use much foliage and few flowers. Thiad. Only on rare occasions use more than one variety of flowers in any single ingangement. Fourth. Use only the foliage be- longing to the variety of blooms you are arranging. Fifth. Never crowd a composition, Sixth. Study the composition from four sides, Seventh. Place each branch or blos- som as nearly as possible in the same position that nature placed it in the growing plant. The last rule seem to me the key- stone to the success of the Japanese in handling flowers. They realize that we cannot excel nature in creating beautiful effects, but eve can follow in her lead. In the -country, where there is an -absence of brick walls and where na- ture has been the decorator, we see few straight lines and many curves. We also see a variety of coloring, but with the green predominating. While there may be a great mass of foliage, there is no effect of crowding. Again, no matter from which angle we e•-lew a vista the effect is pleasing. A great deal of the saccess in mak- ing a pleasing arrangement of cut foliage or blossoms depends upon tho receptacle in which they are placed. , A vase or howl should bear the same relation to the flowers it holds as the frame to a picture—it is a setting which should enhance tile beauty. The receptacle itself should never be orn- ate; the outlines should be simple anci the color subdued. There are so many i artistic shapes that are quite inexpen- sive that it is hard to give definite , suggestions ns to which are most suit- able, Most of the pottery 051505 are , good—the dull greens or grays are al- ; ways desirable, so sre many of the brass saapes. 0.2 course, the latter ; need constant care in order to keep , them in shining order; however, if , the subdued tones ere chosen, espe- ; cially pieces having a green cast, you I will find it unnecessary to keep them • bright and shining, for they are more , beautiful when 1 Flowers are never well displayed in I an elaborate cut glass vase.

'The color scheme should be al- ways consicleted. How lovely are a few yellow tulio cr jonquils in a coppet or brass urn; the brilliant yellow of the blossoms, the sage green of the foliage mid the dull tones of the metal blend so woedeously. Nasturtiums or violets, of course, should never be put in anything but a low receptacle. Apple blossoms and pink clover ate poems when arranged in a common ginger jar; the grayeblue of the porcelain and the shell pink of the biome make a charming color scheme, • Muscle Massage in Rickets Given by New Method.'
