Term: ,0.) HE symptoms of hog cholera differ somewhat according to the virulence of the virus and the resisting pow- er of the hogs in any particular out: break. Owing to this variation, twc forms of the disease are recognizedâ€"- the so-called acute form and the chronic forms. In the acute or severe form, thc hogs sicken and die quickly, appeal in; to be well one day and frequently dead the next. In the chronic or lest severe form, the hogs may be sick for weeks before they die or ge' better. When chol-u‘a enters a herd. the hogs do not all become sick at once One or two fail to come for theil feed and will be found lying down in some dark corner. On being raised up their backs will be arched, and they will shiver as with cold. They soon become thin and tucked up in the flank and stagger around when trying to walk, the hind legs being particularly weak. The eyes become inflamed and show a. whitish dis- charge, sometimes causing the lids to stick together. When the lungs gel alfected there is a cough. Constipa- tion is noticed at first. followed by diarrhoea; red and purple blotches appear on the skin of ears, belly, and inner surfaces of the legs. The tem- perature of the sick hogs will rise to as high as 107 degrees F. or even higher. the normal temperature 01 healthy animals being 101 to 104 de- grees F. So far as known, the virus of hog cholera will not propagate outside the body of the hog. As already stat- ed. the Virus is given of! in large quantities in the/ urine and taecul discharges of sick hogs. Anything that gets contaminated with these discharges is liable to spread the dis- ease to healthy hogs that come in contact with it. Consequently, boxps. wagons, and cars in which sick ani- mals are shipped, are potent sources for spreading the disease. The pens and yards in which sick animals have run get heavily contaminated, so that anyone walking over the same get th eir shoes and clothes contaminated, arid may carry the disease to other herds: subsequently visited. From what has been said above re- lax-ding the way the disease i1 spread; it will at once be seen that one way to keep the disease from a healthy herd is to take all steps ne oessary to prevent materials contam- inated by sick hogs from coming in contact with the healthy herd. In Canada (by order of the Veter- inary Director-General)â€"-It by any chance the disease gains entrance to a herd anywhere in Canada, the laws of the Dominion require that a veter- inary inspector be notified withoul delay. Failure to make this notifica- tion Ineans loss of compensation for animals slaughtered under the act. and liability to a heavy fineâ€"Prof. D. H. Jones, 0. A. College, Guelph. Spraying is something that ignâ€" not wait. It must he done at :1 def» nite time. Failure to do it the!) means failure to get clean fruit. Ex- perience shows there is no one factor so important in obtaining a good crop as spraying. Therefore apply busi- newlike forethought to it. Estimate at once how much material you will need and place your order for this not later than March lst with dell- nite instructions to have it shipped to you by the first week in April. It you have to purchase a new out- fit find out the make you think beat and have it shipped just as soon as possible. Run no risk of its not be- ing on hand when required. It the old outfit is to be used do not fail to overhaul And test it out in March or early April. Don't leave it until the first day of spraying. If you have to send it away to be repaired remem- ber that many others will be doing the same and it you postpone sending until April you will in the rush at work have to wait your tuna and may not get it back until utter spraying has begun. This often happens. What discourages and annoys you most when spraying? Is it not delay: and poor pressure? With proper foresight and a little knowledge or the mechanism 0: your enginefind pump you can almost entirely pre- rent this annoyance," discouragement and loss or time and money; so learn to do your own repairing as tar an possible, pack. your own pump and clean your on engine.

Also the eva- poration of the water from the sur- face of the leaves equalizes the tem- perature of the plants. Thus water serves the plants in no small way, and so the tarmer is always very anxious each spring that his soil have autficient water stored within it to supply the growing plants during the next three or four months, when the rainfall may not be sufficient for their requirements.

The amount of water required for crops is rather surprising; in humid regions they require from 200 to 500 pounds for every pound of dry mat- ter produced, and in dry climates the amounts are about double of these. Of the ordinary farm crops the legumes including clovers, peas and beans, use the most water; then comes potatoes next; then In order oats. buckwheat, barley, wheat, rape, maize and millet. ‘ The water that the plants take [rom the soil exists in the form of thin Iilms around the soil grains.

Water in ex- cess of .this film water should be drained from the soil, otherwise the soil remains cold and the air is ex- cluded from the roots. roots.

The first can be secured by fall ploughing and in other ways making the soil surface as open and receptive as possible for the easy entrance of the water and the evaporation can be prevented to a large degree by keeping the sur- face, after the crops are sown or planted, well mulched. The soil mulch, one to three inches deep, is found to be very effective in keeping the film water from reaching the sur- face and there evaporating under the sun and wind. The surface of the soil, and this applies chiefly to heavy soils, should not be allowed to beâ€" come crusted, as a crust on the top cracks open and allows the water to escape. The best illustrations of mulching and its good effects are found in every well-tilled garden, but to a. large degree the practice is practicable on the farms by a judi- cious use of the harrow and roller. When the grain fields are Rolled im- mediately alter seeding, the harrow should be used; it power enough be available both may be passed over the field at once. Even after the grain is up 3 or 4 inches, should a heavy rain pack down the soil, the roller may be used to good advan- tage ln re~estab1ishing a mulch. The more frequently the corn and root fields are cultivated throughout the season or growth, the more effective the mulch will be to conserve the soil moisture.â€"â€"R. B. Graham, B.S.A., O.
