• "I believe it is better to be kindthan
cruel; 'better to be true than false;
better
to be chaste than' unclear!;
better to be reverent than cynical;
better to face life with cheerfulness
than with clespair;, better to trust God
and do good whatever doth happen:"
Will not my soul remember ever-
miore
The earthly winter's hunger for the
spring?
The wet sweet clink of April, and
the
rush
'Of roses through the summer's open
door."
lEthelwyn Weatherald.
And now it is gardening time. And
how stimulating it Is to see things
growing again! After the long, death-
like sleep of nature, to see her shake
off her lethargy and cometo life
again gives us new courage for the
tasks ahead. I for one, while I love
the summer, while no man-made
beauty 'holds the thrill for me that a
lovely landscape does, would not
ehoosei to live: in a land of perpetual
summr. Qhe would muss forever
the thrill of this annual resurrection.
To watch the growth of a tiny shoot,
wbieh day before yesterday was just'
showing above ground and today has
the appearance of a sturdy plant, is
an incentive to anyone who has a
spark of ambition, The wise man
said long ago, when he wished to
shame the lazy man: "Go to the ant!"
I do not pretend to great wisdom at
all
but,I h ,
c ou
ld say: Go tothe
tulip
or the daffodil if e
,you wish to see
diligence, steady Iperseverence, un-
remitting toil, and aqcompiishment.
Wle do not accomplish so easily and so
naturally, of course, but neverthe-
less a garden with growing things
offers an -inspiration which stimu-
lates and helps a lot.
For those who are planning a
garden
Mir. WI.SBlair of the Dom-
inion Experimental Farms givds some
good advise. Ife says:
Annual flowers might be employed
much more largely to improve home
surroundings and supply bouquets for
indoor' decoration, They are easy to
grow and will do well in almost any
garden soil. With a few exceptions
they may be sown in the open ground ,
in early spring, as soon as the sail can
be prepared. If a good stand of
plants results, thin to about six inches
apart. ,Group planting in borders,
or at the base of shrubbery, rather
than formai layouts- is advised and
this will tequire less work, and will
give a more pleasing effect. Those
sorts suitable fqr cut flowers should
-be planted in rows in the vegetable.
garden so that there will be an ample
supply of bloom for this purpose,
and the regular beds will not be dis-
figured. For edging, Sweet Alyssum,

season as is so often the case,
using an early, medium
late type of each one, and even so
ing all at the same time, one w
have a much longer season than u
ual, but if only a portion of ea
peeket is sown the first week, and t
remainder at intervals of a week
or a month, we would have a long
season still. Head lettuce should b
sprouting in boxes or hotbeds b
this time to be ready to transpia
into permanent quarters as so
as it is safe to do so. Many gar
deers refuse to bother with head-
less head lettuce any longer and
have taken to the Cos variety. This
grows uyright with long leaves which
enclose the heart, and it is self -
blanching, A little tying up will has-
ten the process. The new spinaches,
which will grow, and grow without
going to seed are a big' advance over
the old types. They give a bigger
and better supply of leaves and some
can be cut down to within an inch of
the ground and will grow up again.
White Potrugai and any of the
Globe varieties are now popular
onions and can be easily grown
from seed. These may be used
green or for pickling. All vege-
tables must be grown quickly if
they are to be crisp wean brought
to the table. A check in growth
makes them tough. To prevent
such an occurrence, especially when
the weather is inclined to be cool, it
is well to apply some quickly avail-
able fertiliser.

HEADACHES
Pain is not a disease. It is gener-
ally a ` signal that something is
wrong, that some co di '
n tzon requires
attention. 1eadache is ,a efomme;i
symptom and occurs in ahnost every,
illness. It is a warning, in many
cases, that there is some.,poisoning
going an somewhere in the body,
poisoning, such .as comes from the ac-
tivity of the germ's of disease or as
a result of the failure of the body to
rid itself of the waste of body aetiv-
Asparagus
Asparagus is easy to grow and
once established furnishes a supply
of delicious vegetable which is
worth real money when one goes
out to buy it. For a small bed, it
is best to buy two-year old roots, but
in the average sized garden the most,
econominpal way is to start the plan -
talon from seed. The Washington
variety is generally conceded the
best. A bed may be established in
three years from seed, and in two
from roots. The seed should be soak-
ed in warn, water for twenty-four
hours before planting' and sawn in
drills outside as soon as the ground
can be worked, as it is rather slow to
germinate. The plants should be al-
lowed to grow in the seed row Lor a
season, and the following season the
strongest and straightest - shoots

ages, or tobacco, living in unventilated
rooms, emotional upsets, uterine dis-
ease and many other conditions can
be placed on the list of causes of
headache._
,It is not suggested that it is nec-
essary of advisable to call the doctor
for every headache,' The cause of the
headache May be very plain to the
sufferer and he knows that the cure, ,
and Prevention of other headaches
depend upon his avoiding the excess
of indiscretion Which is the cause.
Frequently y headaches, unusually
y
severe headaches, are not to be dist-
regarded. It is a mistake to relieve
the headaohe by drugs and to.go on
feeling that all is well.,. Of course,,
relief from pain is desired, but to
secure release from headaches and
-th•on disregard them is about as sen
sible a procedure as to blow out a
red lamp which acts as a danger sig
nal, and go ahead as if the danger
itself had been removed.
Headaches are a signal, Their.
cause should be sought for and, when
found, treatment directed toward
the cause, not the symptom. Nature
has arranged that we be given warn-
ings of impending or actual disease
in many conditions. One of the most
common danger signals which nature
uses is headache. There are various
types of 'headaches, and their location
severity and their time of oc-
currence all have a .meaning which
help in determining the underlying
cause width must be •death with, not
only to prevent the recurrence of
headaches, but to correct 'diseased
conditions and to secure a normal,
healthy existence.
NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR
THE BUSY FARMER ,
( Furnished by the Department of Agriculture )
Egg Production Up
In 1928 there were 34,022,511 egg -
producing hens in Canada, a decline
of 100,189 over the ;previous .year.
They accounted for 268,868,857 doz-
en eggs or 15,591,630 dozen more
than in the previous year. Ontario
was the leading egg -producing prov-
ince and showed a very substantial
increase over the preceding year.
Quebec, was the second highest egg -
producing province.
Acid Phosphate is Superphosphate
Certain fertilizer salesmen in On-
tario are selling superphosphate,
claiming this to be a superior pro-
duct to acid phosphate. The two
names mean one and the same thing.
This fertiliser has been on the mar
ket for years and ordinarily is guar-
anteed to contain 16 per cent. avail-
able phosphoric acid. It can be used
alone on certain crops or in house
mixed fertilizers. Large quantities
are used' in making up mixed fertil-
izers, as sold by many fertilizer cent -
patties. ,
The Calf to Retain
Good judges of cattle can tell, al -
meet at once, whether a calf is worth
rearing or net, and that soon after
t is born. There are certain signs
that cannot be neglected, and by
wh
t h they are guided in making
heir selection A small undersized
alf is not one to be retained, for it
will but rarely repay the trouble in-
olved in feeding and rearing into a
tore beast, and thus it had better
o taken to market as seen as pos-
ible. A lively calf jumping and
playing around its ram is what one
kes to see, for such a calf is strong
n its legs, healthy and should be
ossessed of a strong constitution,

Borer Stilt a Menace
Provincial Entymiologist, L, Cae.
sar, who is in charge of the enforce-
ntent of the corn borer act, recently
declared that the impression that the
corn bores; has been reduced in most
counties and that the law will not be
strictly enforced this year is failac
loos. "The borer is just as danger;;
ous an insect today as it ever was,"
he declared, "and all it Beads is to be
given a chance each as it would have
if the Corn Sorer Act had not been
enforced. Coral growers in Ontario
will have to beeome accustomed to
the fact that`cleiming up corn rem -
cants each spring will be a vegetal,
part- of farm operations. • Nonen-
forcement of theaet this year would
6e folly."
Potato Acreage
• "Intention to plant" surveys an
the United Mates suggest an increase
of six per cent in potato acreage. If
this happens and a normal or heavy
crop is harvested lawerprlees may be
expected next marketing season, On-
tario prices for potatoes have been
satisfactory this year Wlhich may
tempt growers to increase acreage.
Poor and marginal potato land may
come into production end .result .ro

rect their energies toward an increas-
ed yield per acre of high-quality ,tub-
ers rather than an increase in acre-
