WO and . Low Temperatures Some- times Beneficial and Sometimes - Hurtful -- Old Sol the Primary Source of Heat and Light - An Interesting Study of Air -- Live Stock Notes. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) - TMOSPHERIC temperature has .ever been a matter cf much concern to agricul- turalists. A high temper- .ture, although necessary and bene- ficial in some cases, is detrimental in others, but',in each case requires a liberal amount of precipitation. On the other hand the • destructive frost ' of late spring and early autumn is an unpleasant but frequent visitor to the '7a.griculturalist. Man has harnessed much of nature and made it his ser- vant, but as yet no one can say that man can control the atmospheric tem- perature, although he may modify it in a few instances or overcome some of its disastrous effects. -'rhe prlmary source of all heat is the sure. Old Sol shines and heat and light travels the intervening 92,900,- 000 2,900;000 miles ofespace with a velocity of 186,000 Miles per second. Some of this heat is' absorbed -in its transit by dust particles, water -vapor and the temperature of the air in con- tact with it. 'The latter has the great- er effect on air temperature. .Local conditions have a great ef- fect on temperature. Water requires about five tinges the quantity of heat to raise it's temperature one degree as does soil, thus large water areas tend to- prevent high temperatures. Also, as there is always slow evapor- .ation and It requires about 300 times as much heat to evaporate one gal- lon of water as to raise its tem- perature,one degree, the temperature is kept more moderate. Large swamp and bush areas free large quantities of water to the atmosphere as well as retaining the spring water longer in the country and consequently has a moderating effect. Frosts are also prevented by water, swamp and bush areas, because they produce a high humidity and are not so readily cooled as large land areas. Air of high humidity acts as a better blanket as it were, than the dry air. Also the temperature at which dew is formed is higher and the lowering of the temperature may be sufficient- ly arre$ted to eliminate any danger of frosts. The type of agriculture in any sec- tion is decided by its air temper- atures Any new crops which are im- ported 'must first become acclimatiz- ed to that section before they are a success. Winter cereal crops of .On- tario and hay crops are not affected by extremely low temperatures un- less growth is started by warm wea- ther followed by- low temperature or by- heaving of the soil' about the roots. Late spring and early - fall frosts cause much damage. If the temperature does not drop below 28 deg. F. only the tenderest vegetation suffers, but if below it wholesale de- struction results. High temperatures cause strong evaporation from the leaves of plants and thus the need of a large amount of precipitation to prevent stunting or death itself. In a pamphlet by A. J. Connor, of the Meteorological Office, Toronto, an interesting relation between the growth and yield of wheat and the temperature is set. forth. Doth yield and growth are increased by a low temperature and a low range in tem- perature. A critical period appears to exist in the latter part of the 90 • days following sowing, and if the weather in this period be warm, dry, i with great temupes ature range, the wheat' plants will head quickly .and the harvest be light; but if. the cool ' moist conditions exist heading will be postponed and the yield increased. Thus it remains a Matter of seeding at the proper tune to insure the cool moist weather in the critical period. In the Western Provinces the sow- ing is early, namely, the last of April, throwing the critical period about the middle of July, the variability of the ieumperature of which is the criti- cal factor. However, the rule there .is the earlier the better, while in On- tario we. are unable to sow spring wheat sufficiently early to procure that desired cool, moist weather, nor can it be obtained by late sowing. A.11 cereals are best adapted to the temperate regions and especially those of low temperature and small tetuperature range. Consequently the above temperature effect is ap- plicable to all. Fruits as a rule re- quire a higher temperature region, but not a high-temperature range. Many fruits, however, have a wide distribution and is the result pf var• - iety.-R. C. Moffatt, O. A.

Idle horses will keep in much better con- dition if given regular exercise, and ' if their supply of . hay is wisely restricted. • Stables that are well ventilated and lighted, even though on the cola side, are More comfortable and more healthful than dark, steaumy, warm staes. bblung cattle and breeding stock of beef breeds enjoy a short outdoor ruu every day during winter, and treatment of this . kind. promotes health. , Z3reeding ewes must have abun- dant exercise if vigorous, healthy lambs aro looked for. Good alfalfa or -clover hay, with about four pounds roots, or two or three pounds of silage, per ewe, per • day, makes a good ration.

Care Before Lambing Important - How to Heih In Cases of Poor Delivery -, A Good Ration for Ewes WWhen, Raising Lambs, (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) Tc, HE two, main factors eontrl- tributing to a satisfactory lamb ,crop are the proper feeding and care of the sheep during the eie i_?onths previous -- to lambing tine together with care and detailed attention given to the flock during the lambing beriod. Plenty of exercise coupled with suffi- cient eat amount of the right kind of feed to maintain the ewes is good thriving condition will usually.result in .the birth of active rugged lambs, for which the mother Will have a sufficient supply of milk. In practic- ally every flock, no matter how well cared for, the` attendant must be on hand frequently, day and night, dur- ing the period the lambs are arriv- ing. A little attention at the proper time often results in the saving of not a few lambs. Absolute dryness and freedom from draught are very essential for the flock at lambing Wile, and when the lambs are expected in March or even early April provision should be made for reasonable protection from the cold. Wool balls in the stomach is `often the cause of much loss in young lambs. This trouble as well as diffi- culty in getting the lambs to nurse may be avoided by clipping away all loose and dirty wool from around the udder and quarters of the ewes. It must be borne in mind that at this time the ewes, Heavy in lamb, should be handled gently, otherwise serious loss may occur from ewes slipping their lambs. Provision should be made for a. few small pens located along the warmest side of the building. The ewe about to lamb is much safer separated from the main fiock and in cases of difficult parturition, weak lambs, ewes disowning their Iambs, and numerous other difficulties that may arise they can be looked after a great deal more satisfactorily when confined in small enclosures. It not infrequently happens that a ewe has difficulty in delivering her lamb; this is more common in the case of young ewes with their first lamb. When the lamb has come . forward far enough se that.. the nose and front feet are in 'sight and the head is unable .,to pass through the ewe should be assisted by gentle pulling on the forefeet. ' If this fails smear the inside of the vagina well- with linseed oil; this has the effect of softening and allowing the opening to stretch, and. will, unless the case is a very severte one, give relief. No action should be taken until it is reasonably certain some assistance is needed, and before investigating .the hands should be perfectly clean and disinfected. Lambs niay be born weak and ap- parently lifeless, more particularly in case of difficult delivery. These may be revived by quick action on the part of"the attendant. First re - Move the phlegm from the mouth, then hold the mouth open and blow gently a few times to start lung ac- tion. Next lay the lamb on its belly and gently heat it on the sides next to the heart just back of the shoulder. A ewe may lose her Iamb and stil have a supply of milk. She may be given a lamb say ono of twins .or an orphan iamb belonging to another ewe to raise. This may be accom- plish by skinning the dead lamb and throwing the skin over the one to be adopted. A ewe may take to another lamb when held and the Iamb allow- ed to suck. Especially is this true where a ewe has a full flow of milk. When a Iamb is born during a cold spell it may become so thor- oughly chilled as to require atten- tion. Place the lamb in hot water until .well warmed, rub dry, then wrap in a cloth. and place beside a fire until restored. A little warin milk -taken from the mother should be given as soon as the lamb will take it. A few drops of whiskey in a little warm water may often prove beneficial:. Ewes, like dairy cattle, vary a great deal in the amount ofe.milk given. In case, of single lanais the mother may have more milk than the lamb will take for a week or more, the lambs may be nursing on one side only and the other side will become inflamed and caked. Either hold the ewe and allow another Iamb to nurse or milk out. In case the udder has become hard bathe with hot water for five minutes . with a woollen . cloth, dry thoroughly and apply (warm) pure melted hogs' Z:21;A RULED BY VENICE. Whit?: 'ci Ilion of Saint Mark Caps Gate in the Town Wall. Zara, where Gabriele d'Annunzio is rc'porte4 to have landed, and its lo- cation relative to Fiume, already oc- cupied by the soldier -poet, is describ- ed in a I.J. S. Geographic Society bulletin, based on a communication from Kenneth McKenzie, follows: --- "Starting from Fiume, one sails 'down the channel called Quarnerolo, leaving Istria and the Gulf of Guar- nero to the right. The Island of Arbe, about half way to Zara, ,has an old cathedral with a twelfth -century tow- er. Coming from Trieste one skirts the western shore of Istria, stopping perhaps at Rovigno and at Pola. The stay of an hour enables one to get a hurried glimpse of the great amphi- theatre and other Roman remains -of Pola, under Austrian rule an import- ant naval station and strongly forth fled. The language here is chiefly Italian. Istria would well repay the time devoted to a trip of several days; but we pass on, stopping at one or two of the islands, to Zara, the most northerly town of importance in. Dalmatia. "Zara is noted all over the world for its maraschino. Aside from this, however, the town has many attrac- tions to offer. On landing from the steamer in the land -locked harbor, we find ourselves in front of a gate in the town wall. Over the gate is the winged lion of Saint Mark, often met with here and elsewhere in Dal- matia, and a symbol of the former dominion of the Republic of Venice. Passing _ through the gate, we enter the narrow paved streets of a typical Italian city, such as We may imagine it to have been two or three cen- turies ago, except that the hotels are more comfortable. There are many mediaeval churches in the town, in- teresting achitecturally, and contain- ing works of art. The cathedral in particular, a majestic Romanesque church, is richly adorned outside with many arcades of little columns and inside with marbles and paintings. It is in the best Italian style o1 the middle ages.- Its campanile is a land- mark. "Wandering among the - narrow streets, we come upon several open squares and market -places, where in - the morning scores of peasants may be seen in the brilliant -colored cos- tumes. There are Roman remains, too -columns and statues. Leaving Zara, the steamer comes out of the harbor, encircles the point of land on which the city stands, and skirts low-lying shores, passing among innumerable islands. All at once a narrow opening appears; we go through it, and find ourselves in the spacious harbor of Sebenico, with the town rising from the water to a fort ,crowning the hill." Loyal to British Cro4-n. There are a number of diminutive water -surrounded monarchies off the coast of Scotland. They each have their kings, but are subject to the British crown. ' One of them is the Isle of Bute, in the Firth of Clyde, which is owned by the Marquis of Bute. - The kingdom. contains only fifty square miles, but has a population of 11,000 people: There are six lakes • within the island, the largest being Loch Fad, which'is about a quarter of a mile wide and about nine tunes that in. length. The famous old home of the marquis dates from the year 1608. Arran is another of these kingdoms in the same firth. The Marchioness of Graham rules over its 5,000 in- habitants. It is nineteen miles long and ten miles broad. It was on. this island that Robert the Bruce is said to have hidden in a cave for some time and there planned one of his expeditions to recover the crown: The ruins of a castle, once the home of one sof Scotland's kings, is on the island. Sir John Bullough rules over the island of Rhuth, which is one vast game preserve. Nearly all•this island is deep forest and moorland, and all of it is mountainous. Only 300 acres are tillable, and there are 160 inhabi- t • tants. The island provides deer and other game for the nobility.. The Largest of these island groups is doubtless Lewis Island, one of the outer Hebrides group, off the west, coast of Scotland. It covers an area of nearly 700 • square miles and boasts a population of 37,000 people. It has splendid lochs, where splendid fishing is to be had, and red deer still roam over the moors and forest land. - This .land has a stirring history, for the people have always been fight- ers and,, have many times defeated the royal troops. -Answers. - • Solved - Labor Problem.

Ewes should be fed sparingly, especially of grain, for a few days after lambing, as soon as- they are safely over the effects of lambing they should. be gradually brought up to:full feed.
