The Herald, 1912-06-28, Page 3OntheFarm MAKE THE SOIL FIT THE CROP There is no use in trying to achieve success with a soil not fit- ted to the crop, We must make a more intelligent study of the selec- tion of crops that are better adapt- ed to our soils and that can be made to return' larger and more certain profits. There is something that is very interesting about the prefer- ence of crops for certain soils and climates, writes a farmer. One of the first things for a far- mer to learn is to find out which crops aro best adapted to his soil and grow them on his farm. He needs to study the requirements of the various crops that he grows and plan his rotation of crops so that each crop may be grown under the most favorable conditions. While T am a staunch friend of stable manure and constantly urg- ing the keeping of more and better farm stock, yet I can see the neces- sity of facing the situation in a prac- tical manner. The average farmer has reached a point where stable manure will not supply the adequate amount of ;;plant food to produce the maximum ,geld of grain and other farm crops, 4nd the only sensible thing to do is supply the deficient elements. The generality of soils on our tock farms are deficient in mineral ertility, especially phosphorous, .and it is clearly to our interest to ,supply this one element to our soils if we fit the soils to the needs of our crops. On soils possessing abundance of humus and nitrogen we may pur- chase the phosphorus in the form of the raw ground phosphoric rock and mix it with stable manure, but on soils that are lacking in humus and nitrogen better results will be obtained by using acid phosphates, which is readily available to the growing crops. With clover and manure plowed inder, to liberate potash, and sup- plemented with this perches ree-quarters of a pound they ould be penned for ten or twelve ys and fed all they will eat of rn chop or wet mash composed two parts cornmeal, one 'part an and one part low-grade flour. this mixture can be dampened th skirft milk, it will add much to fattening and bleaching quail- s. Birds that are being fattened ould befed in troughs rather than litter, as exercise at this time is t conducive to rapid gains in ight. The birds should be kept quiet as possible. urkey poults are not especially rd to raise if they are from vig- ils stock and are properly taken e of. Above all things else, don't rfeed them, see that they are t free from lice, keep them from ting wet when small and make m "rustle" for their living. To them of lice, should they become y, paint the bottom of a deep with liquid lice killer and put poults into it. Cover the top he box with a cloth, but be very ful not to smother the birds. It ell to leave a part of the top eked, as the fumes of the lice r are pretty strong. After they been in the box for a short , take them out anc'I dust with good lice powder. Eternal` twee is the price of success in y culture. many as 57,000 persons of Scot- ationality left Seettish ports ear. SEVERE NEURALGIA Cured Through. the The of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills There is an excellent reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured the most severe cases of neuralgia, sciatica and other complaints in the group known as disorders of the nerves. This group also includes St. Vitus dance, partial paralysis and the common state of extreme nervousness and excitability. Each of these complaints exists because there is something the matter with the nervous system. If the nerves have tone and are strong and heal- thy you will not have any of these complaints. The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure nervous disorders is, that they restore weak, run down nerves to their proper state of tone. They act both directly upon the blood sup- ply; and the nerves. The highest medical authorities have noted that nervous troubles generally attack people who are bloodless and that the nerves are toned when the blood is renewed. It .is thus seen that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure nerv- ous disorders by curing the cause of the trouble. The following ;s an instance. Miss Annie Jones, Lon. don, Ont., says :—"For over a year I was an intense sufferer from neu- ralgia, which located in my face and head. The pain at times was so intense that I could scarcely keep from screaming, and nothing I was doing for the trouble seemed to help me. As time went on my whole nervous system was affected. At last when I felt that my case was almost hopeless I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The result of this treatment was that I am now enjoying such comfort as I had not known for years, and only those who have suffered from neu- ralgic pains can realize what a blessing the Pills have been to Inc.' If -you are suffering from any blood or nervous disorder begin to cure yourself to -day with Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, which you can eel get from any medicine dealer or by De mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes ak for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

RAISING POULTRY. The general purpose breeds oultry, such as the Plymou ks,.

Usually more interest is take ith a flock of fowls that are of t ame breed and color, and it is a stablished fact that such a floc reduces a more uniform product high invariably secures to th wner higher prices than can b erived from the product of a mon rel flock. As soon as the hatching season i ver all male birds should be mar eted, they having no influent hatever on the number of egg id, and eggs produced by flock mposed of females only keep much tter than eggs from hens that are lowed to run with males.

Much interest :s being taken in the district contiguous to New Lon- don, Conn., by the summer resident if requests for literaeare and inf. r- mation is any criticism. Thousands of copies of the booklet, "The Sea- shore," which may be had for the asking from Grand Trunk Agents, have been distributed. The book- let is profusely illustrated and also contains valuable information as to names of hotel, rates, etc. New London is only twelve hours from Montreal and a new through train service will be inaugurated from Montreal on June 23rd. Features of this district: warm sea bathing, deep sea fishing and splendid hotel or eottage accommodation. Calcutta, with its population of 1,300,000, is the second city in the British Empire. For Frost Bites and Chilblains. —Chilblains come from undue exposure to slush and cold and frost -bite from the icy winds of winter. In the treatment of either there is no better preparation than Dr. Thomas' Ec- lectric Oil, as it counteracts the in- flammation and relieves the pain. The action of the oil is inrta,ntane ous and its application is extremely simple. Nearly 100,000 women in York City consume no fewer 35,000,000 cigarettes a year.

Iso NEW DISCOVERY IN A.VIATIOI French Military Believe They Can• Flovent Many Accidents. What promises to be a scientific discovery of the highest importance in aviation is new being investigat- ed by the French military authori- ties. It will be remembered that Lieut. Seville lost his life while flys ing at Pati a few weeks ago. Exam- ination of the wrecked machine, proved that the wing of Seville's monoplane broke downward in- stead of upward,, showing that'the pressure of air came from above in- stead of from underneath, as has been hitherto supposed was the case in fatal accidents. Experi- ments have now corroborated the theory that a downward dip of a monoplane throws a greatly in- creased air pressure upon the sur- face of the wing. Heretofore the main strength of the wire. stays has been devoted to preventing.the wing buckling from pressure on the un- der surface, while no stays have been thought necessary to counter- act pressure from above. The offi- cial commission. believes many acci- dents have been due to insufficient protections from air preteure on. the upper surface of the wings, and this is now being remedied in all French army aeroplanes. .r. ENGLAND WARRING ON FLIES. Campaign Started Now in Hope of Preventing Plague. War, determined and grim, is be- ing waged in England against the house ,fly. This is the time of year, it is said, that war, if it is to be successful at all, may prevent ..a plague in the autumn. The house fly, it has been urged by "experts," carries'more disease from house to house than any other living thing in existence. The fly, they say, serves no useful purpose whatever ; it is a pest, and nothing more. Its breeding powers are enormous. The fly to -day may yield »millions by the autumn, and so everybody is asked to help in its extermination, In schools the pupils are being taught all about the dangers of the fly and how to kill it, and house- holders are warned by the sanitary authorities that no labor expended upon its extermination will be thrown away. No person should ;o from home without a battle of Dr. J. D. Kel- logg's Dysentery Cordial in their possession, as change .. of water, cooking, climate; 'etc., fregiiubtly brings on "summer eoreplenet, and" there is nothing like being• ready with a sure remedy at hand, which oftentimes saves great suffering and frequently valuable lives. This Cordial has gained for itself a wide- spread reputation for affording prompt relief from all summer complaints. Great Britain's present National Debt exceeds $3,620,000,000.

Pills of Attested Value.—P.arme- lee's Vegetable Pills are the result of careful study of the properties of certain roots and herbs, and the ac- tion of such es sedatives and laxa- tives on the digestive apparatus. The success the compounders have met with attests the value of their work. These pills have been recog- nized for many years as the best cleansers of the system that can be got. Their excellence was recog- nized from the first and they grow. more popular daily. BANKS REPLACE SALOONS. We are abolishing public houses, but we are increasing banks. A writer has put a question as to the number of banks between the Bus - ton Road and St. Albans, and on the south aide between the Elephant and Croydon. Half a century ago there was not one. It was the Lon- don and Westminster that first set tip a bank for the small mall`, And now you can hardly pass a street corner without the appeal 'of the bank. The change of the street corner site is suggestive of other changes, ---London Chronicle; ECIVILIZING RAILWAY. eiiegal and Southern Nigeria, an r] the other French - and English tiles of Weat Africa that lie be - them, there are now 11 mil- e -area either running or building.
