Manure One of the most important by-- products on the farm is stable man- ure. The application of manure re- turns to the soil a large proportion of the plant toed removed by crops, par- ticularly nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Since more than one-hali the .nitrogen and at least three- fourths of the potash of manure is contained in the liquid portion, the importance of sating the urine of 'tock is evident. The emplpyment of sufficient littre to absorb all the li- quid, tight floors 'and gutters, an im- pervious. 1,ttc'm to the storage area and in districts of high rainfall, pro- tecting the' manure'Iteap with some art of cover are means by which ex- cessive leaching and loss may be prevented. Alfalfa Seed Production The total alfalfa seed production in Canada this year has been less than formal, but fortunately is of sufficient quantity to compensate in part, though not entirely, for the unusual shortage of red clover and alsike seed, Canada's 'total 1.934 alfalfa seed crop is etsintated at about 3,000,00 pounds as compared with 2;500,000 estuois 10,33. The greater part of the seed was grows. in Ontario and the balance in -Manitoba, •'Saskatche- wan, Alberta and- (British Columbia, ['notice -1-1y all of the :Ontario anti' prairie n aw'n seed is of the hardy variegated strains adaptable to severe winter conditions, 'Normal domestic consumption -rill nkcly regttire all the 11934 produc- tion of alfalfa and it is also expected that tate short crop of red clavier seed will be sold out early at high prices. Recommended Varieties of Oats Variety tests of oats made at the Central IExperintental Farts over a long period have shown that 'Banner and Victory- still hold the lead in the medium of late variety class in this district. Legacy, a medium early var- iety, has yielded exceptionally well in comparison with later standard varie- ties. Where very early varieties are required Alaska has long ,beets rec omnmended as one of the best. The new early variety, Cartier, which has recently been accepted .by the 'Can adian 'Seed �Grow'ars' .Association as a registered variety, is considered as be- ing equally- good and slightly :higher yielding than -Alaska in this district. Keep Mangers Clean i.\n inspection of the mangers of stables when caws are not doing well might go a long way 'toward finding out the cause of trouble. 'Sanitation it mangers and the drinking supply is in many- cases- very poor, 'When cows don't drink as 'ducat ater as they ou sh ' id or lease <t certain amount meal in the ;bottom' of the„.... u,t�C ay rimes, r e 'trouble may gentera7ly .be laid: the door of poor sanitation.

Drink- ing bowls and mangers -should Abe kept clean if the cattle are to flourish. Protecting Berry Plants /For the 'protection of raspberry and strawberry plants against the rigours of winter, the .Dominion Horticulturist has some valuable rep- ouun'eedations. 1111 the case of rasp- berries he advises that the canes be bent down ljust before winter sets in and held in place by a little soil be- ing placed on the tips. Before e bend- ing the canes a little soil should be removed 'from one side of the hal and the canes collected in a bunch and pressed down in 'the line of a row by means of a foil., i\\'lten protected in this way the canes will come through the %%utter in good condition wihie if not protected they may be badly, uncured. thor the protection of strawberries, after_ permanent 'frost has set in and the ground is quite olid, the plants should be covered with a light cooing of clean straw, that which will not pack closely over the plants being best, Marsh hay is good as it is free from weed seeds, The mulch of this type prevents alternate thawing and freezing of the ground in the spring- time and -protects the p'lan'ts in case there is not sufficient snow during the winter. :1t also prevents heaving. Where injury from spring frost is iretiuent it is desirable to hold the plants hack as long as possible, For this purpose after the first heavy fall of snowthe snow may be covered with strati- or evergreen bough.s, which are left on as long as possible in the spring. While plants will often come through the winter without protection it is best not take any risks Clover and Grass Seeds Reports 0! 'seed branch field offic- ers indicate the follnw•ing conditions in Ontario in respect to marketing of clover and grass seeds: 9 n eastern Ontario where there was a large production of red clover and timothy seed this year, there has. heel: a strong demand since the op- ening of the season and seed has mov- ed to the trade in large quantities. Some 40 per cent. of the red clover (21}0"000 pounds) remains in growers' h'tntds and about 7;5 per cent, of the timothy (about 335:000 pounds), Only relatively stall quantities of alfalfa, sweet clover and alsike were grown in this part of Ontario this year, and these seeds are in strong clem'and also, Grotrcrs are being paid, basis 'No. 1 grade, 118e to 2111c per pound for red clover; 11$c for alfalfa; 7c for sweet clover,' and i;Sc to :116c for the timothy.' Country run alsike, ofwhich there is a very- ,naal supply, is being bought at abbe to 20c per pound, 'in southwestern Ontario the sub- stantial crop of alfalfa seed of this year i; being sold rapidly by the growers. It is estimated that already about 1„000,Op0 pounds have moved to the trade and that the quantity still available approximates 900,600 Other seeds are moving rapidly also 15 'firm prices llndic'ated supplies still in farmers' hands as on November 19th are: red clover, 50,000 pounds; aisilce, 60,060; timothy, '561000; alfalfa, 900,0.00, and street clover, 50:0',000 pounds. Current prices offered grow- ers in this part of 'Ontario are report- ed ars follows: Basis No. t1: grade, red clover 1212c per pound; alsike 32c to, 23c; alfalfa 1!6/c to 11Sc; sweet clover 4c to 9c, and timothy 1-5c per pound, THE •ORIGIN OF OUR UNSEEN FOES ;If there exists a sharp ,line of de - Ilia rka t ion bet ween the 'living and the dead, then scientists investigating the nature of tine so-called "filterable vir- uses” are now undoubtedly working near that line. lust as the physicists, is seeking. the ultimate composition of matter,. found that fragments could ,be divid- ed into molecules, incnlecudes into 'atoms and, atohts into electrons and protons, so the biologists have fol- lnuecl -the line of diminishing size and at last have reached a point of stnal•I- uess there could be living particles more diminutive. Some of these tirili disease bearing agents, the viruses—'nila'• . in- visible - visible under the most powerful thein to prfttl ntico- scopes and capable of .passing tha•.o.ugth. very !fine laboratory filters--tmay in fact be so niali as to, eq'u'al in size a single molecule of protein, iff this cal , culated smallness is -accurately est- imated it is 'difficult to see :lro'w these agents can, be.considered as 'hiving ai all, though unquestionably the _ filter- able viruses display many of all of the attributes that distinguish living creatures tont tnanintcte mattes.' 111 we .consider then' as Itvut'g w -e ale prdbalbly faced with trite necessity of, revising the olid theory that the single cell. is the smallest unit of life, for a pelt must cerfainls- cotisist of more -than one modecutle of protein, And v'e mak also be 'confronted with acceptance of the proposition that the (filterable viruses represent 'a type of life distinct from that with which we are accustomed Inc deal—a kind of life different in quality ass well' .as in size from the larger' forms of the earth.. lRefent statements and Publications of several scientists shave revealed• the extent and profundity of the problems Which our rapidly gvidening knowl- edge of tate 'filterable viruses Inas rais- ed, These questions are not of aca- demie or theoretical iamportan'ce only --they have immense practical value„ for many of themost 'destructiveLh' Ve and widespread diseases among plants, an- nuals and men, nn•ci even among in- sects and bacteria themselves, are ;cat.lsed by these agents. IFilterabile viruses are the causa- tive agents of colds, fever blisters, in- fluenza, smallpox infantile paralysis, parrot fever, ohicleen pox, rabies and warts, to mention mile, it few. Probab- ly hundreds of other diseases, same fatal, others only slight, are due to these viruses, 'In- animals, more than fifty such virus diseases have been described. insects and worms are widely attack - 'ed by specific virus diseases, and many of the destructive plant diseases are of this type. !\ curious discoveryof recent years is that one type of filter- able virus, the bacteriophage, actually attacks and destroys bacteria, Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, of the Rock- efeller institute, one of the workers in this field, recently pointed out in an, aaddress before the Kung's County Ale - ducal Society that smallness of size is not the only distinguishing character- istic of the true filterable viruses. In fact, he said, ihere is undoubtedly a great difference in size among them, and the larger types, such as the virus of small pox, will not pass through fil- ters coarse enough to pass certain types of trite -bacteria. The more accurate distinctions be- tween the filterable viruses and bact- eria, according to Dr, Rivers, are those which have to do with the behavior of the agents in connection with their hosts, 'i'hougit many worker, 'have from time to 'time claimed to have cultivated the vire e$ in nonliving cultures, just as ordinary bacteria are grown, most scientists are agreed that these agents cannot at present be made to grow anti multiply except in living tissue. ;Another distinction is that most or- dinary bacteria attack the cells From the outside and are not found inside the cell walls except in those cases where specially adapted cells such as the white blood cells, surround and engulf them, The :filterable virsuse, or at least some of totem, appear, on the other hand, to possess ,power- to pen- etrate the cell -walls and attack the cell front rhe inside, 'l'htis the activ- ities of ordinary bacteria may be said to be intercellular, those of the filter- able viruses iutracel•lu'lar. Among important characteristics is ,the strong and lasting int ntmnitp d•e- veleped against the viruses following recovery from an attack, The same type of immunity is not usually en- countered in the true bacteria diseases and this immunity is a matter of ex- treme im'por'tance in the control of such diseases as smallpox, hydropho- bia poliomyelitis and others. Some Virus disease,, which once decimated whole 'populations ha -•e :now been tamed through the artificial develop- ment of this type of i•rantunity, -the various distinctions between the behavior of ordinary bacteria and the viruses ten to show, according to Dr. River's, 'that tine latter are not merely smaller versions of the former but that they are distinct in type ',In- vestigators have succeeded in growing several kinds of, viruses in special •Sault solutions, into which bits of living tis- sues were utspendetl, but they have never been able to grow them in me- dia in which there are no living cells, 'Other investigators have asserted that they dead been able to grow filter- able viruses in various inarsiIiaate mC- ciia, though to date the proof of these feats is considered inconclusive by natty scientists. IA few esspenin,esters hale claimed also that filterable viruses are only Small forms of ordinary bacteria, andT some Mac pulyllislhed statements that they hacl been able to change barctenia from tone forum into .another and to groat liot:h tit visible and invisible -forms for ,several generations in inan- imate media. The question wh•etliar filterable vir- uses are ,only small ,fortes acf ordinary; bacteria is, in fact, the basis of con- trover'sy among the bacteriologists at ipres.ent.
