IT PAYS • TO ADVERTISE IN TEE TIMES . COVER CROPS. Hoer nand When tSow--The Mit Serfe— Severt+t Use* of the Cover Crops end .Ec;►sot,tl Ink bent. On Almy 17th the 1lolililliint Fruit Inopecter's islet in the orchard at the Central Experimental Tarin uud dis- cussed cover crops. The subject wus introdtued by Air. W. '1'.:.lacoun, horticulturist, who gave his experi- ence with diinerent pines used fol' this purpose and told what he conn sidert+d were the principal uses of cover crops. Ile said that the hu- portalnea of a covering for the soil in winter was Strongly impressed on hila after the whhter of 189;1-90 wileea many traces were root allied at the Central Experimental ].Varna. Since that thee the subject httd recess ed much attention by this department. The mein uses of the cover crop are: To hold the :now ill winter and thus protect tho roots oithe trees; to furnish vegetable matter to plough under in the spring for the purpose of obtaining humus and nitrogen; and to act as u, cutch crop In autumn to prevent beaching of plant food made available during the summer. IIe recommended, as the best general practice for growers, cultivating the soil until near or about the middle of July when the trees have made most of their growth and do not need so much moisture, and then wetting down to Common or Jia nuuoth heel Clover sown broadcast at the rate of 32 pounds per acre or with Ifairy Vetch at the rate of 80 to 40 pounds per acre. Sown at that time these plants usually nhake a good cover by auttnnn. At the Centre( Experiment- al Farm hairy Vetch wus sown on .June 18th, 1903, in drills 28 inches apart at the rate of 20 pounds per acre. These received two cultivations and by the end of the first week of August the plants were meeting be- tween the rows. 13y sowing earlier as in this case a better stand may be obtained and by cultivation mois- ture is conserved while the plants aro getting established. Twenty pounds per acre sown in drills in this way were found quite sufficient to make a good cover. There was prac- tically no injury from mice where cover crops were used as their de- predations were prevented by using either ordivary building paper or wood veneers. No fruit grower should neglect having a cover crop as a fine bearing orchard in hare, soil might be destroyed which 'would have been saved had there been a cover crop. Proof of this was furnished by the great "freeze" in Essex County in 1899. The seed for the cover crop should be sown, if possible, when the ground is moist, as in the sunnier the seed will germinate quickly it there is moisture. After the seed is sown the land should be rolled as this will bring the moisture to the surface and about the seed and hasten ger- mination. It is important to get growth started in good time as there is sometimes a protracted drought in .July and August which prevents germination and spoils the prospect for a good cover clop. Tit districts whets. the conservation of moisture is important the cover crop should be turneed under as soon as passible in the spring and in some parts plants which are killed by winter are preferred as there is no loss of moisture through them in spring. Leguminous plants are, on the whole, best for cover crops as they take nitrogen front the air, but often oats and rape are used to goon ad- vantage. A.

The sides aro closed with narrow strips or laths 1 inch apart. Of like material and in the sante style, a well-iltting movable lid is made for the remainder of top. The front has a sliding board, to open or close the coop, and through which small basins containing water and . food are set into the inclosure. The nest is made under the tightly covered part of the coop,. As a further protection against skunks, etc., a 6 or 8 -inch board is laid flat and close to each side of the coop. The Successful Varinor. Successful farriers roust be busi- ness men, says American Agricul- turist. There is no more reason why they should succeed with careless me- thods than should the manufacturer. It is just as important that the farmer know how much it costs him to raise a. hog and to care for a horse or produce a bushel of corn or oats as it is for the. wagon maker to know what it costs to maintfac- ture a wagon. When this part of the business is looked after more carefully, there will be less founds- tion for complaints of unprofitable seasons, mortgaged farms and the unprofltableness of agriculture in general.

Sentence Sermons. [Chicago Tribune.] Paint does not make purity. Sow a sin and reap a sorrow. Words are the windows of the soul. He cannot help what does not hope. Seek happiness, you find heartache. A little charity makes a lot of cheer. Cherishing malice is nurturing misery. Every biograph embraces all history. The world needs righteousness more than rites. There is no work in anything that leads to waste. Rhetoric is a fine embalming fluid for religion. Failure may make a good foundation for success. The pictures we admire make our own portraits. You cannot save wandering ones with a field glass. A man does not have to have a frozen heart in order to have a firm will. Religion is sure to have a queer taste to the man who only takes it once a week. It's no use praying for a heavenly blessing when you won't pay your earthly bills. One man's righteousness docs not de- pend on his ability to prove another's wrongness. It's no use casting a moldy crust on the waters in the hope of getting back a nice hot biscuit. f ar> 14AVE you been smolt ing a good deal lately and feel 31n occasional twinge of pain roundyourbeart?

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. there is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional' remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire- ly closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, bearing will be destroyed for- ever; nine eases oat of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam- ed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Carious D'art In Natural Iiistory. An incident which will be Inter'est- ing to naturalists is told in a recent number of the Scotsman. One of the foresters in the employ of the Marquis of Lothian was returning frotu his work when he noticed a wild duck fly- ing from a larch tree. On close exami- nation he observed a common brown owl looting down from what appeared to be a nest in the cleft of the tree about thirty feet from the ground and apparently near the place from which the duck had flown. Curiosity prompt- ed him to climb to the place,,which he did with great tI iculty. The owl on his approach flew off, and to his sur- prise he found in the nest two eggs— an owl's and a wild duck's. It is not uncommon for both owls and ducks to build their nests high up on trees, but It is unheard of for one nest to be ap- propriated by both birds. A Clever Minister. "To the town of Norridgewock, in Maine," said a clergyman, " n strange minister once came to preach. He preached duly, and after the sermon was over he mingled with the congre- gation, expecting that some one would invite hint to dinner. One by one, how- ever, the congregation departed, offer- ing the hungry minister no hospitality, and he began to feel anxious. Where was he to eat? As the last deacon was leaving the church the minister rushed up to him and shook him warmly by the hand. "'I want you to come home and dine with ole,' the minister said. "'Why, where do you live?' said the deacon. "'A.bout thirty miles from here.' "The deacon reddened. 'Ob, you come and dine with me instead,' he said." AvIrsuertixes. t THAT'S THE SPOT!

The great plays of Marlowe, Shake- speare and Jonson were performed by actors in Elizabethan dress In front of a curtain, usually in daylight, on a lit- tle stage partly occupied by the gal- lants of the period, with their pages and tobacco pipes. There was no fasll- ionabie actress, eo orchestra, no lime- light, yet the drama was more popu- lar than churchgoing and held its own even with such gentle sports as bull baiting and "wiping of the blind bearc," The little that we know of the actors shows them, with the excep- tion of Burbuge and Nathaniel Field, to have been very ordinary workaday people, with empty pockets and domes- tic affections and other Modern charac- teristics. Yet the protests of the Puri- tans, the avaricious records of the censor and the continual erection of new theaters in spite of the solemn threats of the city fathers are evidence enough of the marvelous popularity to which the art attained in that "spa- cious time" of playhouses most re- markable for lack of space.—London World, I cure Backache, Lame Back, Diabetes, Dropsy and all Kidney and Bladder+ Troubles, •I iftrtoo $0a.a. bee e:3 far 51.23, all MAIMS, OCAS K1D NLIt Iri1LL COw 1'eroAta hilt. OIL ON THE WATER, Ire Soothing Effect Wan Known au Early as the Sixth Century. A few gallons of oil east upon stormy seas moderates their violence and pre- vents the waves from breaking with force. That this is the case has long been known. Theophylactes, the Ilye zalttine historian of the sixth century, propouuded the question, "Why does oil c'ahn the sea?" and answered it to the effect that as the wind Is a subtle and delicate thing and oil is adhesive and uuctuous the wind glides over the surface of the water ou which oil has been spread Ind cannot raise waves. The wind, in fact, slips over the water without being able to obtain a grip. In the gulf of Mexico there is a re- markable stretch of water about two miles long by three-quarters of a mile broad to which the name of "oil spot" has been given because in the worst of storms the mariner finds still water there. Its character as a safe harbor of ref- uge is said to be due to an oily proper- ty of the mud stirred up by the storm. Pern's 'Whistling 3arn. Among the ruined cities of Peru nearly fifty different kinds of musical instruments have boon found. Unique among these are many double whis- tling jars or musical water bottles. Near the top of the first or front jar, which is usually surmounted by a hu- man or nnimnl figure, is the opening of the whistle. When the jars have been partly fined and are swung backward and forward a number of whistling sounds are produced. As the vessel swings forward and upward the water is lowered in the first jar and rises in the other. In the backward motion it rushes back into the first, forcing the air out through the whistle. oedema In Mongolia. Tea, with an admixture of salt and mutton grease, is the common beverage in Mongolia. It is not t 'commenda- ble. Snuff taking is universal, and the offer 0f the snuff bottle is the gen- eral method of greeting. Mongols ap- pear to seclude their woolen in some measure, at Ieast, from strangers, and a traveler's arrival is usually the sig- nal for a hasty departure of the ladies of the family for the tents of their next neighbors.

Wm. Thomson,• Esq., of Orillia, Vice -President Standard Chemical Company of Toronto, Tells of a. Visit to the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives. GREATLY IMPRESSED WITH WORK BEING DONE. Personally Raises Several Hundred Dollars to Help Lessen the Load of Debt. There can be little doubt that the National Sanitarium Association is handicapped in its great work for Consumptives in the fact that its two institutions in Muskoka aro far away from any large centre of population. Few people have an opportunity to see for themselves the magnificent work that is being done. These hospitals are away from the public eye. Any, however, who do visit them, are united in their commendation of the splendid appointments of the place, and, best of all, of the real joy and hope that is being brought to many suffering ones. We are glad to have the opportunity of publishing the following letter from Mr. Win. Thomson, of Orillia, one of Canada's best known lumbermen, which tells what he has seen himself. It reads : 0nit re, Ont., November 2, 1003. W. J. Gent, Esq., Cihairiaar Exeentive Committee National Sanitarium. Association, • Toronto, Ont.

Please acknowledge this to the Tudhopo Carriage Company in the usual way. I have written to a. number of my friends, to try and get them interested in this good work. I hope to be able to send you further donations, I have written my friends a personal letter, something similar to the following : "Last week I paid a visit to the Freo Hospital for Consump- tives at Gravenlurst. I met some of the Management there, and promised to try and interest some of my friends in this work. "I might say there were 49 patients there last week, all poor people, most of thein without a dollar in the world, uad suili'rint*• iron the dreadful disease. Consumption. There are ninny sad stories, and I know I have thought a great deal about the work of the institution ever sinee my visit there. I <10 believe it is'worthy of assistance, and we who have health and the necessaries of lite should encourage this work along. "I understand the expenses lately have been double the income, and unless the nl 1tal^'e!.1ent Inert with more encourage- ment, I am afraid the work will havth'to be curtailed. I know you have many calls, but I do wish _you would give this matter a thought, and, if possible, assist. I have written to two or three confidentially, and hope to be able to collect some more for this work. Should you not feel like contributing a donation, remem• ber this request, and your reply is just between you and ole, and strictly confidential. " I might mention, to show that I have confidenee in the work, I have Already given a donation of $100.00 and two row boats to the Free Hospital this year, and intend to give another $100.00 before the end of the. year." Sincerely yours, Sir Wm. R. Meredith, Kt,, or Mr. W. j. Gage, Toronto, will receive and acknowledge any contributions made.
