Beit, The object of this department le to place at the service of our farm readeea the advice of an acknowa edged authority on all subjects pertaining to soils and crope, Address all questions to Professor Henry ca, Bell, .In care of The Wilson Publishing Company, Limited, To• ronto, and answers will appear in this column in the enter In which they are received. As apace is limited fE Is advisable where immediate reply le nooeesary that stamped and addressed envelepe be enolosed with the question, when the a ewer will be mailed direct, • Question -S, II, (1) How, can I best get humus into a sandy soil? I have a field of about 5 tidies which is unpro- ductive. Last you it was not even good 'for grazing. I ploughed it last fall and have been thinking of sowing it in the spring, and turning it under the Following spring. What' would you suggest that I sow and get a ..fair crop the same year, yet • improve the soil? Answer -You would do well in the spring, as soon as the ground will work, to harrow it down to a smooth seedbed, first having given it a dress- ing of from two to five tons of manure to the acre; then, seed it to an early variety of oats, such ai • 0. A. C. No, '72, or Daubeney, using about 11/4 bus. of seed to the acre. Seed this with about 10 lbs. of Common Red Clover and 4 lbs. of Alsike to -the acre. The oats will harvest early, and the clover should get` a pretty gooc: growth by fall. As soon as it has made ei sat- isfactory start in spring, instend of cutting it, plow it under, and you will have enriched your soil by a good ad- dition of organic matter. Question -(2) What is the best fertilizer to use for potatoes on sandy soil, and what quantity should be ap- plied per acre? Answer -potatoes on a sandy soil should receive a fairly high-grade forta]izer. You will do well to use Bile carrying from 4 to 5% ammonia, to 10% available pbosph.oric acid, and as much potash (up to 3%) as you can get this year, If you cannot buy a fertilizer with a,high amount of potash, you will do well to apply wood ashes, up to ace ton to the acre, work- ing it into the soil before you apply the fertilizer. If you do apply wood ashes, be sure to treat your seed potatoes with formalin in order to ]sill the spores of the scab which is like- ly to thrive where wood ashes have been applied. In applying the fert- ilizer, if you are putting on 500 lbs, or more to the acre, apply one-half through the fertilizer attachment of the grain drill, if you have a grain drill with fertilizer attachment, or spread it broadcast over the potato field before the last harrowing if you do 'not have a drill distributor, Thor- oughly harrow this fertilizer into the soil and apply the rest of the fertilizer through the fertilizer dropping at- tachment of the potato planter. It is not advisable to apply more than 300 lbs. to the acre through the fert- ilizer attachment of the potato plant- er; hence any excess of this amount should be worked in broadcast when preparing the potato seedbed. (Wao Don't expect to succeed with hogs if yoq' give them any old thing to eat. Pigs must be feel clean wholesome food if you wish to eat fine hams and bacon of delicious flavor, The ill -smelling pig -pen is a relic . f the past in up-to-date farming com- munities. Cleanliness is the watchword foa success with pigs. To expel worms from hogs the fol- lowing prescription is right for a pig weighing about 100 pounds: San- ,tnio, five grains; calomel, two grains; San - , nut, two grains; sodium bicar- bonate, one dram. I{eep the hogs off feed for about twelve hours and give the dose in a slop -of middlings, The evening of the. same day give a mast of wheat bran. This will flush the bowels. Gather all worms and burn them. Worms often are the forerunner of disease. If hog or pig has a big appetite and thriftless condition, with dry dead hair, it is a good indication of the pre- sence of worms. q For Wireless in Airship„ Part of a new wireless equipment designed for aeroplanes is contained in a helmet that is intended to bar other sounds from an aviator's ears. MORE DIVIDENDS FROM GARDEN CROPS This Year, If Ever, the Opportune Time for Making Money From Vegetables. Five acres of Ontario soil near a good market can be made to easily support a family in comfort. In pota- toes alone the returns would run, un- der ordinary prices, at from $100 to $200 per acre, From $400 to $500 per acre can be made from cauli- flower. Many people will be inclined to regard these figures as exaggerat- ed, but they are facts, and many cases can be pointed out to substantiate our statements. With proper soil treatment, the average garden will produce at least a half more than it now does. Several things must be borne in mind, how- ever, to make a success with garden crops, such as onions, potatoes, cab- bage, etc. The soil must be suitable, cultivation must be thorough, varie- ties the best for the district and the market, and good salesmanship. The plot selected for the garden should be well drained, and must not be shaded to any extent. Drainage takes away surface water rapidly, and keeps the soil water away from the surface, thereby allowing the roots to grow deep and the air to enter the soil and aid in decomposing it. Fertil- ity is another most important feature. The need for fertilizer is shown by low growth and pale color in the plants. Stable manure, bone meal, or good commercial fertilizer should be used to renew the elements required by the soil. Germination. Crops are often lost through the failure of the seeds to 'germinate. Don't blame your seedsman for this. It is usually because in planting the soil is left loose about the tiny seeds, and the dry atmosphere penetrates to them, shrivelling them up until all vitality is destroyed. Vegetable crops as a rule are sown in rows, and in every case, as soon as the seed is sown, it should be pressed down in the drill with the foot, then covered up level by the back of a rake, drawn, HELLO, t3aR7 - SA' BBRT, WASN'T YHA1 ..offer nap VoU WirRE JUST TALKING yo Z !lengthwise of the drills, and again firmed by the roller or back of a spade. Por want of this simple pre- caution, perhaps one-quarter of all seeds sown fail to germinate. Again, for the same reason, when setting out plants of any kind, be certain that the soil is pressed close to the root. We have seen whole acres of cauliflower, cabbage and strawberry plants lost solely through neglect of this precau- tion. Value of Rotation. In order to secure maximum yields, and to keep down weeds, the system- atic rotation of farm crops is an ac- knowledged necessity. Why not, therefore, plan the varieties of vege- tables and their planting time so as to at secure a continuous and abundant 5 supply of good, fresh green things? It is just as easy as any other method d of garden management, and it is much more satisfactory. For example,a crop of radishes, tur- m nips, spinach or lettuce sown in April, d will have ripened so that the ground can be cleared, dug up, and manured, and again used by tho first of June, when such crepe as encumbers, peas, tomatoes, or sweet corn can be -plant- ed, and so on all through the list. The crops should be movedaround from year to year, so as tc give the soil a chance to recuperate. Where a number of successive plant- ings are desirable, as with peas, it is an excellent plan to plant a third or fourth crop between the rows of the first crop, removing thevines of the flrst crop as soon as the peas have been picked. • The observance of the foregoing suggestions, along with instructions for planting, whichmost reliable seedsmen supply with purchases of seeds and plants, should enable any thoughtful and ambitious person to make a secces0 of growing the com- mon and most popular summer vege- tables. suffered dreadfully With lay back for twenty yo ate.

If hay is kept in front of idle horse all the time they will keep on eatin it, to their own detriment, and at the waste of a lot of good feed.

A Sign of Rain. If docks or geese are expecting bad weather 'they clash water over their backs. They do this to prevent the first few drops of rain penetrating to their bodies through the dry, open fea- thers. tifri Never feed chicks till the third day after hatching, let them have all the the dry sand and water they will take. Their first real feed should be -rolled oats and hard-boiled eggs chopped fine. Two tablespoonfuls are suffici- ent for 100 chicles. Are pens mated up? . Don't delay any longer. Fowls, like men, tire of sameness in diet. They must have a variety in the bill of fare to do well, Select the breed intelligently, and then care for it judiciously. The man who sticks to his breed, getting out of it all that is possible, is the man who succeeds. Neglect does a lot of mischief in the poultry yard. The fowls need regular attention. Tbere are many details that must be heeded, or dis- aster may result. It doesn't seem possible, in this era when the pure-bred fowl has proved its worth to be double that of the tongrel, that any intelligent farmer hould tolerate the latter. But, alas, there are still some Peter Tumble - owns in our rural districts) If a hen is not comfortable, if she is of provided for according to her de - ands, she just simply refuses to pro.. me eggs. She can not be fooled; she can control ]ler egg output at will. .M It Was Teacher. A certain Sunday schoolteacher was much worried by the -noise of the scholars in the room next to him. At last, unable to bear it any longer, he mounted a chair, and loked over the partition dividing the two rooms to see who the offender's were. Seeing one boy a little taller than the others talking a great deal, he leant over, seized him by the collar, lifted him over the partition, and banged him into a chair, saying "Now, will you be quiet?" He then resumed his lesson until about a quarter of an hour later, when he saw a small head appear round lois door, and a meek little voice said, "Please, sir, you've got our teacher!" "Act so in the valley that you need not fear those who stand on the hill," is a Danish proverb. Name Cut On a Tree. "Now, girlie, shall I cut your name nd my name in the bark of his tree?"

Efficiency is indeed a word to conjure with, and nowhere is it more needed than in the Canadian household at the present time. A food expert gives the following five ways in which he estimates twenty per cent, of the money expended for food is wasted. • 1. Needlessly ex- pensive material, 2. A great deal thrown "way. 3. Bad preparation. 4. Failure to select rightly according to season. 5. Badly constwactod ovens. Protein foods are eggs, meats, fish, beans, peas, cheese. Starchy foods are the grains -wheat, rice, rye, oats, coria, etc., and potatoes. Fats are nuts, cream, butter, lard, -fat meats. Minerals are contained in carrots, let- tuce, spinach, beets, parsnips. A well balanced meal consists of one protein, two starch, two mineral and one sweet, You will see therefore that beans and peas should not be served with meat. 2. The proper height of working sur- face for a woman of five feet three inches is .29ace inches. For every inch in a woman's height there should be a variation of half an inch in the height of table, ironing board, sink, etc. 3, Time savers are: Food choppers, bread mixers, cake mixers, washing "ma- chines, dish dryers, silver clean pans. There is also a long list of electric devices: irons, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, toasters, grills, per- colators, fans, ventilatorss. C. H, D.:-1. A cleaning liquid for the nails can be rnaJa as follows: One dram tartaric acid, one dram tincture of myrrh, two drams cologne water, three 0111105 water., Dissolve the acid in the water, mix the tincture of myrrh and cologne and add these to the acid solution, Dip an orange- wood stick In this, apply to the nails, and polish with a chamois skin. 2. Wh.n eating soup the spoon should be dipped away from oneself and the scup be taku_c from the side of the bowl, not the tip. I1. B.:---1. To disguise castor oil pour a small quantity of lemon jui„ge in a tumbler, then add the castor oil, and an top of this hors lemon juice. The acid taste completely disguises the oil. 2. If tapes of about 4 inches in length are sewed to the tops of stock- ings and each child is taught to tie his or her stockings together before pitting thenal in the wash basket, the time and trouble taken in mating the stockings when they come from the wash may be avoided. Thin is done at many boarding schools and is found to be satisfactory, A. F.-1. To set the color in ging- ham put the garment before washing into strong salt water. Let it stand for ten or fifteen minutes and then dry thoroughly and ns quickly as possible before washing. Adding one tea- spoonful Epsom salts to each gallon of water in the washing is another good way to set color. Of course, under present dye condition, 'ome dyes will rut. in spite of all you ean do. 2. Rico should be stirred very slowly into rapidly boiling water a'd the water kept at a brisk boil if the rice is to he flaky and- not plushy. It should bo stirred lightly with a fork, as a spoon tivill crush the grains. 8. A cloth should be wrapped tightly around a frozen water pipe before pouring hot water over it to thaw it out. 4. One pair of stockings will make a capital iron -holder if nplit and folded nectly into a square, quilted and bound round the edges.
