Proceeding cautiously, he had almost reached the end of the sticky clay when the car actually did skid and will over the leank. Mr. Kennedy and the man who was with him both jumped, just in time. They decided to . walk back about a mile and get a farmer to help them get the car up. . On finding the farmer he asked, "Just where did it go over the bank? They described the spot to him and the farnner started off to investigate. "But where is your rope?" inquired i\'Ir. Kennedy. "Rope, I won't need any. Isn't it twenty minutes since your car went over?" "Quite that." "Well, a calf belonging to me fell over there yesterday. I hurried home to get a . rope. Wasn't more than half an hour. When I got back there wasn't a , sight of him. Its quick- sand." When th4three hurried back to the scene they found no trace of the car. It had completely disappeared, swal- lowed up in the quicksand, and with it went Mr. Kennedy's bag containing music and books. - IIF YOUR HAIR'S T!:i IN MASSAGE THE SCALP To .those in the habit of taking a cold bath every morning, sponging the head with cold water before en- tering the bath is of value. Not only does this act as an admirable tonic; Int it improves the growth of hair, -particularly if the head is dried with a coarse towel afterwards and the lair -brushing procedure adopted lat- er. If the hair and scalp are brushed according to these direotions in the morning, it will seldom be necessary to use any of the lotions recommend- ed by barbers. Hair which is healthy has a lustre of its own, and the addi- tion of brilliantine is unnecessary. One of the most striking results of artificial sunlight treatment has been the increase in the growth of hair in those parts of the body exposed to the ultra -violet rays. This has led some enthusiasts to expose the head to the direct rays of artificial sun- light, and the results have not al- ways been satisfactory. This is due to the fact that in many cases the patients have suffered from the milder symptoms of sunstroke, and have complained subsequently of 'headache and sleeplessness. But it is at least proof that the exposure of the hair to the ultra -violet ,rays is of extreme. value to the hair and pro- motes its gi wth to a striking ex- tent. There was •a craze some years ago for the exposure of the hair to the aur, which produced a band known as -"The Hatless Brigade"; but while these persons were in most cases merely adopting this fashion as one outlet for their inherent eccentricity, there was, as is commonly the case, a considerable germ of truth under- lying the behavior. Fc is fair to say that there is no drug which can be applied to the sur- face of the scalp for the purpose of 'b7� ¢, as a imrc ere -Aims ',pea iwi.edi- Vstraepe ori tit er thielt a 41; ct irritant to •!+e s 154 so fir, •cherefoie, ie they heels tate the•.acaap and improve the blood `stplab iat oonsequenee, they do good, !blurt they' can do little more ' good .:n. cowl be achieved by the grower of the hair "himself by a little personal activity with a hair brush.

WATCH FOR BLOWFLIES The blowfly is always ready to de- posit its eggs in a fresh cut in the skin or flesh of a sheep at this sea- son of the year, or in moist filth clinging to the wool. When a scratch in the skin or a cut is observed on a sheep or a lamb whether self-inflicted or from castra- tion ar docking, smear _it with oil of tar or with a mixture of equal parts of turpentine and lard and the blow - fl will not attack it. Lambs that have not been docked often fail victims to the blowfly when turned on rape or other bowel -loosen- ing feed late in the season. A slimy wet appearance of the fleece where the maggots have started working is an indication- of their presence. When the larva: have hatched and have started to work on the skin, the ambl will squirm, twist its body, shake: its tail and act as if it wants to scratch itself. When a sheep- is found that is infected with maggots clip the wool dose to the skin. Apply a mixture of half and half sweet oil and sulphuric ether. That will give good results. Turpentine will also bring results, but it is severely irri- tating and when it is used care should be taken.to keep Wolf of the healthy skin of the animal. a GETTING FALL PIGS STARTED RIGHT Not every hog raiser can duplicate the work of the Iowa Experiment Sta- tion in getting their fall or September pigs to market• the following March weighing 225 pounds, but if these fall farrowed pigs are started off right and are farrowed strong and lusty it will be possible to get thein on to the high March and early April market weighing from 190 to 22(1 pounds. the weight which has for a number of years had the call on the top pric- es. Getting the youngsters to eating independent of and in addition to what the dam gives will be a very great help, and their freedom from exposure to the sudden changes which occur in most sections of the hog and corn belt in late October and early November will be another fac- tor that must not be overlooked. Self -feeders made especially for the young pigs with plenty of mill feed. alfalfa meal and -a little tankage will add to their growth and help them get the start needed to 'come on through the winter with continued growth. Plenty of range with pro- tection from storms and bad days will be needed, for exposure and chill take all the good of the feed, and the pigs tourKles Nged Sig Qty suppQoes body .Goell foP 13'Me energy -bat' keeps,,( Om{Uo COogng and {grlmovAngoj 5y�© limed outa.?fl�l3 and Ram las' s lgap and flauoT, and see k aauddRY k "d a*R8 nsmdo Wse new science otoheadb- Mgdringo rY- W iTr Aim ete GL y©urs and gm' �E11li m F lm ills • 8(... re had tor the •p t tllxea fjl h > feteliael#tValeta ae v the. gra .

NEW ANGLE TO TIMOTHY SEEDING For many years the Officeof For- age Crops of the Department of Agri- culture, in eo-operation with the Ohio Experiment Station, has been carry- ing on, an elaborate timothy breeding experiment out at North Ridgeville, Ohio. This work, which has been in charge of Morgan W. Evans, of the Forage Crops Office, is expected in a few more years to come through with a more or less revolutionary type of timothy. It will be a timothy plant maturing much later than the present widely grown sort. This will be of immense value in shifting the hay-makin? per- iod away from its present point of serious conflict with other farm work. It will be a heavier yielding plant, the advantages of which is obvious. And not least, it will be a plant which stays green much closer up to the dead -ripe seed stage, thus hi - creasing the period over which the high-grade hay may be made. For many years the standard prac- tice in the timothy -clover country has been to seed five to ten pounds of timothy with the small grain in the fall, and then put on ten pounds of red clover in the early spring. Stu- dies by Evans *how that.the highest yield of hay is secured by putting out not more than two and a half pounds of timothy in the fall. This holds true not only of the first cutting of hay, which is a mixture of timothy and clover, but of the second cutting the first year, which is almost entire- ly clover, and of cuttings of subse- quent years when the clover has en- tirely disappeared and nothing blit a pure stand of timothy remains. According to these experiments the total hay yield continues to fall off with increases of the fall timothy seeding above the two -and -one -half - pound mark, the more seed being put out the smaller the crop secured. In the tests the seeding went up to as much as eighty pounds to the acre. Too much timothy the first year chokes out the clover. With the two - and -one -half -pound seeding over 65 per cent. of the first cutting of hay was clover. With the old standard ten pound timothy seeding the first cutting was half timothy and half clover. When the timothy seeding was more than ten pounds the result- ant hay ran proportionately to timo- thy -65 per cent. of the total when a very heavy seeding rate was prac- ticed. And just as the timothy per- centage went up, the total yield went down, dropping off from 2600 pounds to the acre for two and a half pounds to one ton at ten pounds, and then on down to 1400 pounds of hay when as much as forty pounds of timothy seed was doped on in the fall. It has long been a practice of some farmers in parts of the timothy -clov- er belt to seed a very light quantity of timothy with small grain in the fall, and then follow with a heavier seeding when clover is put on in the spring. This practice is shown to be superior to putting a heavy timothy seeding down with the small grain in the fall, but, according to results se- cured by Evans, if a fair stand has been secured by the fall seeding it is of very questionable value to put on a further quantity of seed in the spring. In all circumstances, howev- er, in so far as these experiments in- dicate anything two and a half pounds of timothy seed is enough to put out n the fall when clover is going to go on the land the following spring. Great men's ideas are the common heritage of humanity; their only in- dividual possessions are their oddities. —Andre Maurois. PRODUCING QUALITY MILK The dairy industry is slow to re- alize the importance of maintaining the quality of dairy products on the farm. In the main the big interest of dairymen heretofore has been about how to achieve more economical pro- duction. Our studies indicate that milk rejected for poor quality amounts on the average to forty or fifty dollars for the seven or eight cow dairy farm." The speaker was Ernest Kelly, chief of the division of market milk, Bur- eau of Dairy Industry, at Washing- ton. And then Mr. Kelly tossed over to me a package containing seventeen nieces of literature, bulletins, circu- lars and leaflets, dealing with this matter of producing quality milk. All of this literature is to he had for the asking. Interesting browsing it should make for a number of fall ev- enings. I thumbed it through for a moment and then asked the chief to give me the gist of the whole matter, a concise summary of just how a dairyman should go about the job of producing high quality milk. And here is what he said: "Have the cows clean as well as healthy. The animals should be cur- ried and their udders washed when washing is needed.' "Have the milkers clean as well as healthy. insist that they milk dry handed and have dean hands. "Use covered or small top milk pails. "Thoroughly eternize the utensils in which the milk is handled. This latter precaution is extremely import- ant. Stewart LvniyQ Coats that display new distinctiveness. Every note- worthy style, every high quality fabric, every new Winter Color.

Not only does quality milk mean a direct saving thrnu, h avoiding rejec- tions, but it also means further ex- panded markets. Th. vast increase in milk consumption (luring recent de. codes ties on to tla superior quality of the modern product. A NEW RACE OF APPLES It would be diffirul•t to name a var- iety that stands any higher -in public esteem than the11:•intosh apple. This being the case, it is not sur- prising that there has ;been a persist- ent demand, not only from consumers hut from growers, f,,r other apple var- ieties of similar character which should be in seas.( before' anal afte,• that of the McIntosh. And this de- mand bids fair to be satisfied. Prof. William T. Mlacoun, at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada, has prodwired many Mclr:- tosh seedlings of decided merit. The most promising are, Melba, which. is ripe about the -middle of August and which resembles McIntosh in charaic- ter of fiesh, perfume and aromatic flavor; Jdyce, which is earlier than the IIlolntosh in season and resem- bles McIntosh very much in flesh' and flavor; and Lobo, which is in season frc►rtt7. Oettatber to January and resem- bleu kttIntoah in flesh and gavot. At the New York Experiment ta- tion, Sawa, Dr. U, P. Hedrick has produced at least three varieties of the McIntosh type which give great promise of commercial value. The first of these to ripen is Early McIn- tosh, a cross between McIntosh and Yellow Transparent, and ripening only about a week later than the lat- ter. It is said to have "the most al- luring flesh to he found in any apple, with a flavor similar to and smite eq- ual to that of McIntosh." Neat fel- lows the Cortland, a cross between McIntosh and Ben Davis, which is al- ready quite largely planted and which has two advantages over the McIn- tosh in that it ripens two or three weeks later arili hangs on to the tree better. Lastly is Macoun, a cross be- tween the McIntosh and Jersey Black, a late keeping and highly colored var- iety. Macoun is red skinned, white fleshed and richly aromatic and rip- ens from one to two months later than McIntosh. The record of these two plant. breeders is a splendid illustration of how the scientist has co-operated to help out the farmer and it would cer- tainly seem that the loves of McIn- tosh would soon be able to indulge in their favorite variety at almost any season of the year. MORE WINTER WHEAT Judging from preeent indications it is unlikely that any single field crop grown in Ontario in 1929 will so nearly approach maximum produc- tion as the winter wheat crop. The cold and rather wet springs of the last three years have decreased the yields and injured the quality of spring sown grains on many Ontario farms. Winter wheat with its root system already established has not been affected to any serious extent by these cold wet springs. The fol- lowing figures obtained from the Statistics and Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Toronto, show the comparative yield of winter wheat per acre compared with the common spring sown grains: Yield per acre (.Ave. 3 years) Crops 1926-1928 Barley 1569.00 pounds Winter wheat 1524.00 pounds Oats 1210.40 pounds Spring wheat 1176.00 pour s peas 1116.00 pounds If figures nn yields for 1929 were available it is almost certain that win- ter wheat would rank first in average yield per acre for the last four years. There are many arguments which can be advanced in favor of growing winter wheat and some of them are cited here: (1) The soil and climatic condi- tions of central and western Ontario are well suited to growing this crop. (2) The crop works satisfactorily into the rotations generally used. (3) it lessens the acreage of grain required to be sown in the spring. 1(4) It is an excellent nurse crop for seedin.; grasses and clovers when) these are sown in the early spring on a late snow fall. (5) Its harvest period is early and usually does not interfere with that of any other grain crop. (61 It is one of the best cash crops grown on Ontario farms, hav- ing a value of more than $25,000,000 annually. (7) The decrease in the spring wheat area in Ontario, the less than average crop in Western Canada this year, and general world conditions„ in wheat production would seem to insure a good market for Ontario, grown winter wheat for some time to come. In growing winter wheat too much emphasis cannot be placed on the- necessity of providing a good seed bed for sowing the crop, the use e only the best seed, and the sowing of only the best varieties. In the average of may years' experiments at Guelph results have shown that when yield per acre, strength oil straw, and quality of grain are all considered that the Dawson's Goldete Chaff (O.A.C. No. 61) the O.A.C. NO. 10, land Red efteck varieties ark among the very best for sowing ins. Ontario.
