Henry G. Ben. question, when the answer will be mailed direct.
Question—T. A. L.:—What is the
best way for putting fertilizer on for
potatoes and how • much fertilizer
would you Peet on a quarter of an acre?
Shouse the fertilizer be mixed with
earth before the potatoes are put in
or would it bo all right put in the
hills with the seed? I have just read
It would burn seed.
Answer:—Two hundreds pounds of
fertilizer to the qu;.rter-acre is a mod-
erato application for potatoes. This
fertilizer should analyze 2% ammonia,
8 to 10% available phosphoric acid and
1 to 2% potash, if obtainable.
In applying this, scatter 100 pounds
over the quarter -acre when the ground
has been dug or plowed. The harrow-
ing or raking of the ground will work
this available planteood into the soil.
When the holes or drills for the pota-
toes are made, scatter the remaining
hundred pounds of fertilizer in a fiat
dust along the potato furrows, or intq
the holes where the potatoes are to be
dropped. Cover 'this with a light
dusting of soil before dropping the
potato pieces. There is no danger of
fertilizers burning seed if care is tak-
en to mix the soil and fertilizer as
described. When the foregoing has
been done, drop the seed and cover as
usual. It it sometimes found highly
advantageous to scatter anotheY light
application of fertilizers around the
potato hills or along the rows when
the plants are up two or three inches.
This can he worked into the soil when
the potatoes are cultivated.
Question—W. W. L.:—Please send
r.ie full particulars how to treat pota-
toes before planting to prevent top
blight.
Answer:—No pre -planting treat-
ment can be given to potatoes to pre-
vent blight. If possible, make sure
that the potatoes being used for seed
were not produced on a field that has
been infected with blight. The blight
winters in the tubers, and sends its
fine threads up through the stalks
where they flower meths surface of
the leaves of the plant. When the
disease matures it sends out large
quantities of tiny spores. When these
spores light on other damp potato
plants, they infect the other plants
with late blight disease. • To prevent
this the potato grower should spray
his crop with Bordeaux mixture five
to seven times during the growing sea-
son. Begin as soon as potato plants
are up three or four inches and spray
at intervals of 10 days to two weeks.
Bordeaux mixture is composed of 5
lbs, of lime, 5 lbs, of copper sulphate
and 50 gallons of water. Dissolve
the lime and the copper sulphate
separately, then mix and dilute with
the water. Apply the Bordeaux mix-
ture immediately, since the mixed ma-
terial will not retain its strength if
allowed eo stend any length of time.
The dissolved lime and dissolved cop-
per sulphate may be stored un -mixed,
and just suffieient for the spraying
mixed up at the times desired. The
proper quantities can easily be calcul-
ated from the mixture given above.
To prevent scab and to assist in con-
trol of the spores of other diseases, it
is beneficial to dip potatoes in a mix-
ture of corrosive sublimate, one part
to a thousand, by weight. Dissolve a
tablet in a quart of water,'br an ounce
in 30 quarts of water, and soak the
potatoes for two hours, This material
is very poisonous and must be handled
with great ease. Potatoes which
have been treated should never be used
for human or animal food.
You can prevent potato 'stele by
soaking the potatoes in a solution of
ono pint of formalin to 30 gallons of
water. They should remain in the
solution about 20 minutes, Formalin
is a gas dissolved in water. It kills
the spores on the surface of the pota-
to but does not injure the food value.
Question—C. D. E,:—Is fertilizer
that has been stored up in a .dry shed
for two years as good as fresh fertil-
izer?
Answer:—If the fertilizer has been
stored in a dry place, it will not have
lost plantfood through storage. How-
ever, before you use it, you should
empty it out on a hard floor and
break it up by pounding, after which it
should be shoveled through a sand
screen. This will put it in good con-
dition for drilling.
Pointers on Marketing.
Most of the market poultry sold
is marketed in about one-sixth of the
year, that is, in the autumn. As a
result prices suddenly fall when farm-
ers are about ready to sell. The con-
gestion means that part of it must be
put into cold storage, and produce
once stored does not bring so high a
price as the fresh quality. This
means lowered prices for the farmer.
The remedy lies with the producer.
He should distribute his produce over
more of the twelve months than he
does. To do this requires different
methods of handling his poultry than
he has practised in 'the past. For
instance, instead of keeping the spring
chicks all summer, some of them
might be marketed throughout the
season as broilers. Broilers bring
two or thee times as much per
pound in May and early June as they
would bring as roaasters in.the fall.
Broilers are chickens weighing un -
dor 21 ,pounds. The best way to
feed broilers is, to give a palatable
mash in a cleayard, mix the mash
with..milk if possible, give some green
food and keep everything clean and
the chicks free from lice.
When convenient, bleeding and dry
plucking are advised before selling,
though, if the weather is warm and
local killing facilities not good, it may
pay to ship alive,

Hens that have completed their
second laying winter and have passed
through the breeding season, should
be marketed as soon as the breeding
season is over rather than be kept un-
til the fall.
Hens in June or July bring from 50
to 100 per cent. more than they do in
October because they are then the
only roasters on the market.
Green ducks, that is, ducks that
have just completed their first coat of
feathers, should be marketed early
rather than be kept until fall. The
Experimental Farm at Ottawa re-
ports that 65 young ducks sold at 103/
weeks of age brought on the local
market about 200 per cent. more than
it cost to feed them, or in other words
they cost for feed $20 and at 101/2
weeks of age they brought $60.
Similar ducks that were sold in the
fall did not pay for the cost of feed.
Market in June.
All roosters, old hens, early broil-
ers, green ducks.
During the first week in June, kill
off, dispose of or . remove from the
flock, the male birds after the breed-
ing season. Their presence in the
flock after•this date causes a loss of a
million dollars a year to Canadian
I farmers through the sale of partially
incubated and bad eggs in the produce
which is marketed. All • old hens
should also be marketed at this date.

The Educational Value of Music—The Powers of Modern Musical
Instruments to Reproduce and Intrepret the Old Masters.
That some knowledge of music is
essential to a well-balanced life is now
an almost established fact. Music,
let it be noted, is the instinctive im-
pulse of the human being from the
cradle up, and it reverberates the
world over. It is the adorable gift
of God, which instinctively seeks to
express itself in a manner more funda-
mentally natural, perhaps, than speech
itself ,
Who has not been attracted by the
cooing music of the'tradled babe long
ere it sought to utter a word. Does it
seem natural to instinctively crave to
express one's every sense of feeling
in speech? The claims of music for
greater educational recognition are so
manifold that one wonders that it
not given more prominence and taught
more thoroughly in our public schools,
What magnificent opportunities
there are for the pupils of to -day to
enhance their musical education, as
compared with the hard striving times
of the old masters, who had to content
themselves with such limited instru-
ments as the old harpsichord. Can
you imagine how manifestly grateful
Bach, Handel and other old masters
would have been had.they at their dis-
posal such high grade pianos, as
manufactured to -day, capable of re-
sponding to every emotion? It is dif-
ficult to conceive how it was possible
for these old masters to give to the
world such beautiful and immortal
works; handicapped, we migli9l say,
with such inferior instruments. Were
they in possession of such perfected
instruments as we have to -day, who
could conjecture what undiscovered
form of music might have been handed
down to us.
From the educational standpoint
how potential would be the influence
to -day if the wonderful mechanical
musical instruments, with their ap-
pliances, we now have, existed two
hundred and fifty years ago, thus en-
abling Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart
and other illustrious old masters to
relegate to posterity faithful repro-
ductions of, their performances by

means of the player -piano and phono-
graphs.
Inasmuch as it would be of priceless
value to have such recordings at this
time, present-day pupils and teachers
will find, and some have already found
from experience, that the records
made by some of our eminent artists
of to -day afford possibly unequalled
facilities for acquiring certain phases
of musical knowledge. The teacher
of musical history when reviewing
epochs and events, giving biographical
sketches of composers and classifying
the different schools and forms of
music, will find the player piano and
phonograph, or either one, invaluable
by demonstrating the record suitable
for the occasion. When studying
tonal effects of the different instru-
ments, the phonograph record would
indeed be very helpful and highly in-
teresting.
While perhaps being efficient in the
art of voice production there are many
teachers who are far from being mas-
ters of interpretation, especially in
some of the grand opera arias, for the
reason that they have not had the
opportunity of witnessing perform-
ances by artists of the highest rank.
In many vocal studios is the phono-
graph finding itself useful as a coach,
as also it is in the homes of many
pupils.
It is questionable that the potential-
ities of the player -piano and phono-
graph have been fully realized. It was
an extremely delicate and difficult
matter to convince such artists as
Patti, Melba, and other prominent
artists of the possibilities of the
phonograph, as likewise it was Padere-'
jewski, Greig, Moszkowski, etc., in re-
gard to the player -piano. It is said
that so highly are the master rolls and

The Story of Rumble and Grumble.
Rumble and Grumble were the sons
of the Stnbbletail Bears, who occupied
a comfortable cave in the Yellowstone
Reservation. Rumble was steenger
on voice than on his legs, and Grumble
was stronger on his leis than on his
voice, but, anyway, they got along
most amicably and loved each other
as only bear brothers can.
One day Rumble and Grumble slip -

their iintents,

were industriously picking berries, and
started off by themselves. "We will
be perfectly safe," said Rumble, "for,

and while they were discussing it a
twist in the trail showed them a lit-

his head' and tail drooping dowse.
"Why should you not ride, as the two -

gested Grumble, wiggling his ears
gently, "I will lead thih foolish
beast and we can thus get upon our

Lesson IX, The Holy Spirit and i•Iis
Work—John 15, 26 to 16. 14.
Golden Text—John 14. 26
Verse 26. Paraclete (margin)—We
seem driven to borrow the Greek word
(as in the case of baptize, and a few
others) to express what no one Eng-
lish word will, render. Comforter is
grammatically wrong—the form is
passive—and far too narrow. Advo-
cate (margin)'suits 1 John 2, 1 exact-
ly, and comes nearer than other terms
here, but is hardly wide enough. The.
central point is that the Paraclete(
"called in" (this is what the word
means), to help us, perferms the same
part as the other. Paraclete, who has
gone to be our Representative "with
the Father." It is actually impos-
sible to mention any function assign-
ed in Scripture to the Holy Spirit
which is not somewhere else assigned
to the glorified Christ. flepresenta-
tive fairly joins this passage with that
in the Epistle. I will send—That the
Spirit ' proceedeth from the Father
and the Son" is one of the most -pale
pa:ble facts in New Testament
theology. What the Eastern church
meant when it insisted on dropping
from the creed the Filisque, is an un-
solved mystery.
27. Bear ye also witness (margin):
this seems better. It is significant
that men are hidden to perform the
same function as the Divine Spirit,
of course by his indwelling strength.
There is a similar association in Acts
15 28
7. Go away—From visible fellow-
ship: "I am with you all the days" re-
mains true. The Father to whom he
goes is ever infinitely near. He means
that his spiritual presence is better
for them than his bodily: it becomes a
more intimate part of the man. The
disciples would not have learnt inde-
pendence and initiative: they would
have always waited for express com-
mands, The substitution of his
spiritual Representative brought the
needful self-reliance: the true self is
only complete when God is interfused
deeply.
8. Convict—The "world"—which in
John nearly always means the world
as it is, in rebellion—fights against the
true view of all these great subjects.
The inspired disciples will reduce it to
helpless silence: it cannot "withstand
the wisdom and the Spirit by which"
they speak (Acts 6. 10).
9. Sin, as normally in the New
Testament, is the failure to accept a
positive duty, not the mere doing•of
something wrong. With us omission
is treated lightly as against commis-
sion:. and that is why we have failed
so grievously in our practical doctrine
of sin. The work of God for all
•those to whom the Gospel has
come—is to believe on the Sent of
God (John 6. 29). For this saving
faith carries with it inseparably the
fulfilment of all God's law.
10. The world condemned Jesus as
a blasphemer and "unrighteous"; one
recalls Plato's great demonstration
that if ever an ideally righteous man
appeared he would be counted as per-
fectly unrighteous and martyred as
such. His disappearance from melt's
eyes and enthronement at God'e right
hand—evidenced by the resurrection,
and the mighty works of his Spirit in
"his disciples, finally "justified" him.
11. Judged—As usual, of a con-
demnatory judgment. The "world"
has a "ruler' of its own choosing:
compare Luke 4. 6.
12. There have been many bad
guesses as to the field in which these
truths he. (Surely it must be mainly
in the meeting of his death, which
they could not bear until the incredible
was a supreme fact.
13. Paul's lnterptetation of Calvary
