Outdoor exercise is 'beneficial, but
Pigs should be protected from cold

not give her a very large range at

and unduly tire the young.

NOTES':
Although the quality and market
value of frozen onions are not as great
s the unfrozen stock, a grower may
be able to dispose of frozen onions at
advantage. When solidly frozen, and
kept in such condition until a spring
thaw, and then disposed of at once for
immediate consumption, the quality of
the stock is often little injured and
the market value may be but slightli
shaded. if. on the other hand, the
frozen onions are allowed to thaw,
again freeze and thaw, the quality may
be so badly damaged as to make the
stock worthless.
Any surplus time at this season of
the year may be profitably utilized in
pruning the trees about the place. The
dead wood and crowded branches, of
course, must be removed. Smooth,
clean wounds should be made and
then smeared over with lead paint,
Spongy tissue from old cavities should
be cut away. The cavities should
then be 'washed with creosote and
filled with cerdent. The latter opera-
tion had best be undastalten on one
of the warm days at this time of the
year.
Eight tons of manure on land limed
once in a five-year rotation with two
of finely -ground limestone have pro-
duced 33 bushels of wheat per acre at
the Ohio station farm, while untreated
land has yielded only 13 bushels as a
12 -year average. Clover and timothy
hay following the wheat on raanured
and limed land have yielded three toms
per acre more then that harvested on
untreated land. This hay at $10 a
ton has more than paid all cotes of
producing the wheat, if manure costs
only the -expense of hauling and
spreading on the field. The system-
atic manuring and liming have been
paid for in other crops ot the rotation,
leaving the increase in Wheat yield as
clear gain.
The prieo of wheat for 1918 will be
not less than $2 per bushel—it maY be
higher. A bushel of wheat will buy
from 100 to 150 pounds of top-dresti-
ing fertilizer. With wheat at $2 it
will pay big to top -dress wheat this
spring. It's the last opportunity to
increase your 1918 Wheat crop.

porting the discovery of a nest ot

caused nature students to sit up aud
take notice, according to the Los An-

This time he reports the discovery
of a clump of whispering trees, The
find was made far up in Los nines

ain road to connect the eashore Via
this scenic canyon with the Tepanga
at its junction with Garrepata.
The mysterious trees tire near the

Mr. Heinelle, after listening to the

to discover some 'tenter who had fal-

no evidence of life anywhere, al-

Capturing Wild Monkeys.
Inoteceys are frsquently captured in
nooses and in traps built in the shape
of houses, The only entrance is a
trap-door in the roof, which COMMuni-
Cates with a trigger set. upon the
ground. Food is spread about inside,
the monkeys enter, and, skirmishing
around, disturb the trigger, and the
trap shuts them in. Another method
for catching them is a most ludicrous
one. An old hard cocoanut is taken
and a small hole made in the shell.
Furnished with this and a pocketful
of boiled rice, the sportsman sallies
Into the forest and stops beneath a
tree tenanted by monkeys. Within
fun sight of these inquisitive specta-
tors, he fleet eats a little rice and theh
puts a quantity into the cocoanut,
with all the ostentatiou possible. The
nut is then laid upon the geound, and
the hunter retires to a convenient am-
bush. No sooner is the man out Of
sight than the Monkeys race eelter-
skelter for the cocoanut. The first
arrival peeps into it and, seeing the
plentifulstore of rich rice inside
squeezes 'his hand in through the
small hole and clutches a handful. So
paramount ia greed over every other
feeling connected with monkey -nature
that nothing will induce the creature
to relingaish his hold. With his hand
thus clamed he cannot possibly ex-
tract it, but the thought that if he
leaves go one of his brethren will
obtain the feast it overpowering. The
sportsmaa Soon appears upon the
sceue. The unemcumberod monkeys
fly in all directions, but the unfor-
tunate brute wao still will not let the
rice go is _thereby handicapped beyond
hope by the possession of a cocoaput
—a:state of affairs quite fatal to rapid
locomotion. The sequel is that he
falls an easy capture to the hunter,
a victim et his own greed.—"Family

GULLS DETECT SUBMARINES.
Seagulls arc very useful for betraying
the Whereabouts of submarines. Either
'because they mistake the boats travellil8
lust below the surface, for whales, or be -
Cause they are on the tool:Out for fish
stirring up by their passage through the
s\sater, or possibly out of mere curiosity,
tiky will follow WIC of these hidden ter-
rors of the deep tor miles, circling rouni
and tittering sjtrtll cries all the while.
This .perforrnance naturally attracts the
attentien of the sktppers of surface ves-
sels, enabling them to escape It unharm-
ed, or to bear down upon the submarine
and try to destroy It if the reverse is the
cafte.
Culls as detectors of floating mines,
too, hake sved many merchaut ships
from degyulltion. They have a habit of
calmly irerching upon the projecting
home of these floating deadly contrivan-
ces and though a floating mine is prac-
tically invisible in the ordinary way at
little distance, ene that affords• a
toosting place for these conspicuous
birds is, of course, quite easily discern-
ible. --London "Chronicle."

"KEEP YOUR SHOES NEAT"
Saves Leather and improves
Appearances.
•
War conditions have called into use
for army shoes and equipment mill -
lions of pc:Muds of leather that other-
wise would be used for civilian shoes.
The result of thie, enormous drain on
the normal Markets is reflected in the
advanced price of .shoes. With but-
ter, eggs, meats and product of all
kinds all struggling to out -climb each
other and striving for the crown ot
high price, every method of economy
should be adopted in the home.
Shoes can be preserved and their
life strengthened wonderfuly by pro-
per care. -
Shoe leather deteriorates from 'ex-
posure to weather; and when mud
and slush carpet our walks and cross-
ings shoe leather is Mend undergoing
strenuous service and deserves some
care.
Every method that will proven the
devouring action of the elements on
leather will naturally lengthen the
lives of shoes.
"Keep Your Shoes Neat"—so read
the advertisement of The P. F. Dailey
Corposeations, Limited, and we feel
sure this patriotic appeal should be
gladly adopted by the public—"A
