IT. x, S.: -,'L had a field of beasts
last year, would it be all right to put
in beans this year again? Is fertiliz-
er any geed for growing beaus? 2.
What ' peeeenta'ge , should fertilizer
have for growing tobacco? 3. Is
there ,any way of finding out if the
winter wheat has been killed before
aurins' comes? Would it be ;idyls-
able to sow spring wheat?
Answer2-1, The largest bean
growers of the East, are large users
of fertilizers. The bean crop is a
rapid growing crop and thrives where
there is a ready supply of available
plantfood. Tnveetigation of their
methods show that many successful
bean growera .use from 200 to 600.
pounds of fertilizer per acre, carry,
ing 1 to 2 per cent. ammonia, • 8 to
12 per cent. available phosphoric acid
and 2 per cent. or over potash. In
applying this fertilizer, on account of
the tenderness of the crop, do not am,
ply the fertilizer too near to the row,
Many successful growers apply the
fertilizer through the fertilizer ete
tachment of the grain drill 7
to 14 days, before, planting the
beans, .and never at planting time. If
.you do not have a drill, any broad -
'cast distributor may be used, pro-
vided that you thoroughly harrow and
disk the -land after the fertilizer is
spread. When the fertihze'r` is ap-
plied with the grain drill at planting
time, it should be allowed to run in
the hot on either side of the one drop-
ping beans, and not in the ho;, drop-
ping the seed. 2.- A good tobacco
fertilizer for medium loam soil, car-
ries 3 to 4 per cent, ammonia, 4 to 8
per cent. available phosphoric acid
and 3 per cent. or more potash. 3.
There is no way of finding out wheth-
er wheat, has been killed or not, until
there 'has been sufficient growing
weather to allow for the germination
of the crop. Do not be in too great a
hurry to plow up your winter wheat
field. In view of the shortage of
food cereals, it is my opinion that
Ontario farmers would do well to put
in a conservative. acreage of spring
wheat.
F. C.:—I have 8, acres of wheat
that was sown in good time but didn't
get a very big top. Would it be advis-
able to top -dress with manure on the
snow? . Now, I am going to seed thi
field in the spring, and I thought of
getting some kind of fertilizer, then
seed with the disk drill, runading the
disks light, and sowing the fertilizer
at the same time. If you think this
would bo all right, would you advise
sowing the -same way this wheat is
sowed Or go crossways?
Answer; --I' believe you would do
well to top -dress your spring wheat
with manure or fertilizer. Indications
;from experimental tests are that you
will get biggest return by applying
the manure at the rate of about 0
tons to the acre. If yon have a ma-
nure spreader, you will be•able to dis-
tribute the manure evenly"over the
wheat In view of the fact that you
are going to seed this field to grass
and clover, I would advise you to -top -
dress it with a fertilizer. carrying 3
to 4 per cent, ammonia and 8 to 10 per
cella' available phosphoric acid. The
method you have in mind of applying
the fertilizer is all right, I -would
by all means advise sowing the
same way that the wheat was drilled.
C. F. II.:—Please advise me if the
culture for inoculating alfalfa sold in
bottles is a success? What kind of
alfalfa seed should I sow, Grimm or
.common alfalfa? I have a fairly good
ground, sandy in character. Is it all
right to sow -with oats in the spring?
Answer;—Well prepared inoculat-
ed cultures for alfalfa, sold in bottles,
have proven very successful. I be-
lieve the Bacteriological Department
of Ontario Agl'icultural College is
putting out such cultures. Best re-
sults are obtained by sowing Grimm
seed. Commonalfalfa seed does not
tend to be as strong in germinating
quality. The oat crop, I am afraid,
will provide a little too much shade
for a good catch of alfalfa. .I would
rather recommend about a bushel and
a peck of barley seed per acre instead
of oats. I know a successful alfalfa
grower in Wisconsin who never at-
tempts to get a good catch of alfalfa
'without applying 250 pounds orf ferti--
lizer per acre. This available plant -
food gives the young crop a strong,
vigorous start. The fertilizer for
this purpose should analyze 2 to 3
per sept. ammonia, 8 to 10 per cent.
available phosphoric acid, and pos-
sibly 1 per cent, potash. to caul be,
appliedwith the fertilizer dropper of
the grain drill at the time the alfalfa
is sowp, or broadcasted like lime and.
then harrowed into the soil just be-
fore the seed is sown.
Dry Stables, Sound Feet.
Every practical horseman knows
that the disease knotvli as thrush is
caused by allowing the horse to stand
with his feet constantly in wet and
filth; but few, comparatively, under-
stand that canker of the frog and
sole is caused in the same way, says
a veterinary surgeon.
Thrush is characterized by inflam-
mation of the fine skin between the
toes in cattle; pus forms and tends
to underrun the horny wall of the
foot. In horses the frog is the part
affected, and its cleft, normally shal-
low, becomes deep and exudes a thin,
foul-smelling liquid, Gradually the
frog becomes rotten and loose and the
disease may spread to the surround-
ing parts; lameness is rare,
Canker of the frog, and sole, differs
from thrush in that the hornof the
sole becomes soft or spongy and
readily bleeds when cut. In canker,
the sensitive tissue (pododerm) of the
sole, which o'rdinar'ily is covered with
solid horny tissne,,seems to have tak-
en the place of the solid material.
The soles is made up of sprouting
fmigous tissue and isextremely' sensi-
tive,and vascular. If it be cut away
it may grow again in a single night
ancl the entire affected part is covered
with a stinking fluid.
Prevention is all important in these
diseases. Stable management should
be such that no horse is allowed to
stand Inc any length of time in wet
and filth. In horse stables where
the manure is removed "now and
then," the "news", and the "thens"
sotaetlmos coming months apart, so
that the horse has to ,jump into bed
over a high barrier of manure, it is
little wonder that the animal con-
tracts thrush or canker.
Treatment of thrush consists in re-,
moving the cause, cleansing the affect-
ed foot thoroughly, then cutting
away all longe, rotten and underrun
horn of the frog and on each side of
it, and packing the cleft of the frog
full of calomel, or a mixture of
calomel, powdered wood charcoal,
stibnitr'ate of bismuth and slaked lime,
This is to be covered with oakum,

Raising Lambs by Hand.
When raising lambs by hand the
only caution is; Do not feed too
much. A baby lamb should receive
only a few spoonfuls of .fresh cow's
milk, When a couple•"of days old
give one-fourth pint, which should y
•
gradually increase to one-half pint
when the lambs commence to eat
grass. When two months old they
may have a pint of milk.
So much for quantity; now for feed-
ing times. The first three weeks, feed
regularly every three hours- during';
the day; after this feed every fourla
hours. When they begin to eat,
grass, feed morning, noon and night,
and finally drop the noon feeding.
I always use bottle and nipple to
feed with until the lambs jearn to I A

voice that was full of discouragement,

Inc a long while, or raised a garden
this summer because I couldn't get
away for my usual camping trip, and
a few little things like that. But just
the other' day some one told me a
story that took the conceit all out of
me and et at the acme time gave me
en enormous inspiration to go ahead.
"Some years ago a young man was 1
working in a factory—working hard'
to support himself and to help take!
care of his mother and his younger
brothers and sisters. This young man
loved to draw better than to do any-
thing. else in the world; he was all
the time drawing caricatures, in fact,
Inc the amusement of the other boys
in the factory, But it was all just
for fun, Inc he hadn't any hope of ever
earning his living that way. -He'd
never had any art education, and cer-
tainly he had no -`advantages'; and he
couldn't stop and take the time to
learn.
"Then one day there was an accid-
ent in the factory, and one of his
hands was caught in the machinery
and so badly hurt that he was maimed
for life. It was his right hand, too;
and so of course his usefulness at t e
factory was gone forever. Those wore
disadvantages enough Inc anyone, but
that young man was the sort that
knows how to look under the mas-
querade of those deceiving letters,

Perhaps your child is not affeeted
with rickets, but with some other die -
ease. Rickets, or rllachitis, is the
"result of bad nutrition, affects all the
tissues of the laxly, and chiefly leavoa
its mails on the bones—which it
softens and then deforms,
later, -
It usually occurs before the third
year, but the bone deformities appear
It is caused by food which is n
assimilated, but also' by neglect
the skin, bad air,.4nsufficient sleep, etc
The child of the poor have it, but
so do those of the rich,
In the great . European cities one
sees it everywhere, The urine of
rhachitic children contains phosphates
in abundance and the bones, being de-
ficient in lime, bend and break easily.
Rhachitic children have soft spots
in the bones of the skull; and the
membranous portions . of the skull,
where you notice throbbing and pul-
sation'in an infant, and which ought
to harden during the first few months
of life, remain soft.
All the bones of the skull, instead of
being firmly united, are loose and eas-
ily moved. '
The face of a rhachitic baby is
small, and the head seems dispropor-
tionately large.
'The liver, spleen and lymphatic
glands are enlarged, the muscles soft,
and the ligaments weak.
The child's appetite may be good,
he may even seem voraciously hungry,
but his food doesn't appear to nourish
him, he becomes fretful, / gets
diarrhoea and this alternates with
'constipation,
tHeis sensitive, cries when -touched,
his diarrhoea is offensive, the appear-
ance of his teeth is delayed, and when
they break out, they are irregular and
of poor quality.
When he begins to walls, the weak-
ness of the bones of the legs becomes
apparent and they jrend or break eas-
ily; the joints are weak and he falls
frequently,
If they reach maturity, they are
short and poorly formed and their
limbs often reveal the marks of early
disease.
Rhachitic children should be taken
to the mountains or sea -shore, if pas=
Bible, and should have abundance of
good plain food which they can OS-
similate—which will be indicated by
the change in their stools and in their
general nutrition.
Fats in the form of cod-liver oil, or
olive oil, should be given them; also
as much of eggs, milk, and cereals as
they can dispose of. Treatment with
mechancial apparatus is important to
prevent deformities, anti they should
have all possible benefit from public
parks, sea -baths, sleep, fresh air, and
Ofe in the country when this can be
provided.

What Colors for Farmhouse.
While the exterior of a house is
painted primarily to protect the
lumber from decay and lengthen its
life, the selection of harmonious
colors is a matter of importance.
Certain principles should be followed
in the use of paint for the different
parts of the building, such as the roof,
body, trim, porch floor, porch ceil-
ing, and doors.
Lighter colors are best for the small
home; the dancer or medium shades
show to best advantage on the larger
house: Many buildings appear to
best advantage in three colors—one
for the body, one for trim, and one on
roof, but a house with many gables,
divided wails, and towers may be
treated in more colors, unless it is
the desire of the owner to keep these
features inconspicuous, In such cases
the color of body, trim, ' and roof
should be practically the same.
A building surrounded by heavy
foliage can be painted in the stronger,
warmer colors. Have your home in-
dividual, but not odd. Consider the
colors used on your right and left and
let the combination of your home
show your personal taste, but not de-
stroy that of your neighbor's homes
or counteract the pleasing architec-
tural features.'
To make a home appear larger,
paint in light colors, and avoid a
strong' contrast between body, trim,.
and roof tints, To -make a house
appear higher, use a light color for
trim and have some contrast with
body tint; select a pronounced but not
too dark roof color; paint the walls
from the foundation to roof line in
one color.
To make a narrow house appear
wider, use first of all a'horizontal di-
viding line, making upper and lower
body, which should be in contrasting
colors—the lighter below, and the
darker, heavier one above. By lower
ing the apparent height, a house is
made to appear wider. The roof ca
match the upper body color or be in
contrast. The latter plan, however
has a tendency to increase the appar-
ent height. -
The Centre of Hospitality.
The centre of hospitality in the
home is that point about which the
family itself gathers most often, This
point is in most homes the fire -place.
Hence its location and construction
are of vast importance la building a
home.
The fireplace, if there is only one;
should be in the living -room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy it
most. It should be located in the
centre of a wall space, either on one
side or at one end of the room. Select
the space which will permit the greet -
est number o$ people to sit around! it.
In the construction of the fireplace
'you must not forget that its chief pule -
pose is for a fire. -- The more simple
