TIMOTHY SEED IN WEST THE SEAFORTU NEWS ,CROP TO PLANT LATER Provide ler Winter as Well as immediate Needs, CABBAGE AND OTHER THINGS Good Food Products Dau Be Secured by the Amateur Ire a Little Labor and a Small Expenditure. (By $pectalist, On u o Der" a ent boO Agrleuiture, Toronto,) Besides growing malty vegetables for immediate use the backyard garden should produce some veget- ables wbieh can be stored for con- sumption during winter months. Some, of course, do not need to be Planted ms early as the plants which were described last week. Possibly a week should elapse from the time the lettuoe is planted before these should be sown. BEETS, CARROTS, PARSNIPS, AND SALSIFY. These include the most important members of the root vegetables. They are usually grown for winter purposes, though beets and carrots are relished by many in their earlier stages of growth. 1111 these demand practically the same attention. The seeds should be sown in straight rows at a depth of about three-quarters of an inch. When the plants have reached a height of two Inches they should be easefully thin- ned out so that they stand, beeta and parsnips three to four inches apart, carrots and salsify two or three inches apart. It will be found that the parsnips are very slow grow- ers, and for this reason it is some- Umes advisable to plant a few seeds of lettuce with the ervparsnip seeds 90 that they will ae as a marker. The young beet plants may be used as aering greens. It 1s necessary that the soil be cultivated at intervals during the summer months so that the crops may grow. They do not as a general rule require as heavy wa- tering as some of the other vegetable crops, In the fall the beets should be pulled up and the tops twisted off close to the head, net cut off with a knife as in the case of carrots, pars- nips, or salsify, which should have the tops cut about one-half inch from the roots preparatory to storing for winter use. CORN. In planting corn holes about two or three inches deep should be made with a hoe. Five or six kernels of corn should be drop- ped in this and covered with soil, which should be gently firmed by tramping on it. When the shoots ate about three inches high all ex- cepting xcepting the three sturdiest should be pulled out. The soil should be drawn up around the stalks as they grow, to give tbem support. When the kernels on the cob appear roll of rank they are ready to use. It hi mese a good practice to cultivate the OOt1 often around the corn, for ex- pert xpert growers claim that the crops corn and cabbage faster and better when plenty of cultivation is gives. OABBAGB. • Cabbage is one of the most widely grown vegetables. The cabbage plant requires a sapply et moisture, and yet if the cab- bage soil is too wet the plant will be injured. Cabbage does particu- larly well en new land, and some growers claim that the cabbage grows without an abundant supply of manure in the soil better than many other vegetables. It is considered a good =settee for backyard garden- ers to purchase plants which have been grown in hot -beds or hot -houses ! and transplant them directly into the permanent bed. This saves consid- erable trouble. It is necessary when setting Babbage plants to set them fairly deep so that they will not be wbipped about by the wind. They may be set eighteen inches apart, and there should be quite a good deal of soil around the roots. When they are ready to be set out a hole may be made with a dibber or a sharpen- ed stick. The roots may be watered after they have been set. One of the most important features of growing cabbage consists in the attention given to cultivation of the soil, There may be some occasions when the head ' will split, this may be stopped or prevented if the head is taken in the hands and turned forcibly from one side to another.

OMD OF THE WORST epidemics of typhoid fever have been in moun- rain towns where the people drink the clear water of some tumbling mountain stream. No doubt the thought of the city fathers is that water that is so limpid and so filled witb air by falls and rapids cannot be impure. Whenever It has been possible to run down the source of infection it has been found'that some group of people have been polluting the stream, thinking they were doing no harm because "running water purifies itself," according to the popular idea. Every year a certain number of campers come back to their homes suffering from typboid fever. Iu many instances it has been found that the unfortunates had camped on the bank of some beautiful mountain stream. The water in thi8 stream was so cold and clear that the campers bad no hesitation in drinking it freely. Ofttimee a mile or so up the stream an- other party of campers stopping on the banks of the stream were polluting - directly or indirectly by polluting its banks. Among the campers who take to mountains are many typhoid con- valescents and carriers. Wl1«m such pollute a stream there 18 a fair chance that typhoid will develop, for the rapid flow of a mountain stream carries the bacilli to down -stream consumers before there has been time for purification. The following are the Provincial laws regarding pollution of waters, (Sections 90-91 Public Health Act, Ontario) "The Provincial Board shall have the general supervision of all springs, wells, ponds, lakes, streams, or rivers used as a source for a public water supply with reference to their purity, together with the waters feeding the same; and shall examine the same from time to time when the necessity for such examination arises, mad inquire what, if any, pollution exists and the cause thereof." 2 Geo, V. c. 58, s. 90. "(1) No garbage, excreta, manure, vegetable or animal matter or filth shall be discharged into or be deposited in any of the lakes, rivers, streams,or other watersin h shoresbanksthereof." a Ontario or on the o1 ther o . "() The owners and officers of boats and other vessels plying upon any such lake, river, stream, or other water shall so dispose of the garbage, excreta, manure, vegetable or animal matter or filth upon such boats or Vessels as not to create a nuisance or enter or pollute such lake, river, stream, or other water." "(3) Residents of 'a health resort or summer resort shall so dispose) of garbage, excreta, manure, vegetable or animal matter or filth ail not tee create a nuisance or permit of its gaining entrance to or polluting any such lake, river, stream, or other water." "(4) Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of this section, shall incur a penalty not exeeediag $100." 2 Geo. V. c, 58, e. 91. VACCINATION AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER. Those who go camping or who visit summer resorts where there mai- he a question about the purity of the water or as to the general sanitary' conditions would do well to have their doctor vaccinate them against typhoid and paratyphoid fever, The record of the Canadian Army for 1916 in respect to these diseases is an object lesson worth considering. The Department of Militia and Defence have just announced that for the twelve months ending December gist, 1916, 167 cases only of Typhoid Fever were reported se having occurred amongst, the nll0ny thousands of men of the C. i], F. in Canada, end this, notwithstanding the fact that Typhoid Fever is a disease especially affecting young adults from seventeen t0 thirty years of age, and a disease which is endemic in all parts of Canada. This comparative freedom on the part of the C. 117. P. is seen to be Most striking when It is recalled that, during the Boer Witr, one man out of every nine in the Brilisb Forces in South Africa was invalided through this disease, and that in the Spanish-American War, of 107,000 men in the Camps at Tampa, a, Florida,and elsewhere, who had not loft the shares of the United States, 20,000 contracted itacted the di ase.Che ranartablrch an e can only be attributed to the process of inoculation, The Provincial Board of Health for Ontario has supplied to date all the Typhoid • and, Paratyphoid Vaccine used by the entire -Canadian Ex- peditionary Foresee about 450,000 men), In all, nearly 600,000 doges have, been supplied free of cost, Typhoid inoculation is simple; devoid of any danger whatever, ensures. almost certain safety against typhoid, aid is eupeilfed free of charge to anyone.
