The following list may pr0vide sugges- tions for further economy: 1. Milk a few good cows; feed- commended rations. 2. Fatten one pig for every two adult members of the family; cure the meat properly. In discussing the fact of parasites on sheep and methods for their con- trol, a Canadian authority gives four good reasons as to why it pays to dip sheep. These are: A ..‘ NEWS AND INFORMATION 3. Keep at least 100 good hens, correctly housed and fed. 4. Raise a good garden; water from windmill if possible. 1. Sheep that are free from ticks and [ice grow more and better wool. 2. A clean flock requires less feed and is more easily kept in good conâ€" dition. 5. Plant; only cash crops, which show little or no surplus. 6. Grow your own stock feed. 7. Butcher fat cows and steers; trade meat with neighbors. 8. Raise your own living; keep your roof tight. .‘A 9. Get (1an to earth and do the best you can today. 10.'Drive a horse until you can afford to buy gasoline. 3. The lamb crop is stronger,, ewes milk better, and lambs grow more rapidly. 4. Parasites are a source of sen» ous discomfort to sheep. The good Shepherd should be mindful of the comfort of his flock‘. He also points oui that as a re- sult of dipping the saving in feed and increased weight of lambs and wool may easily amount to from 50c to $1.50 per ewe. The cost of dip- ping under ordinary conditions should not exceed three cents per head.

Then it will take more fuel than with spring brooding. But there is more time for looking after the chicks; there may be less disease and mor- tality; broilers will catch a high market, and pullets should be laying early in the fall or even in. late sum- mer when egg prices are at their peak. Of course, if many started hatching all their chicks in January the higher prices for broilers and eggs would be wiped out, and chicks hatched at some other season would find the best market. Brooder houses unsuited for prolonged zero weather and the higher price for chicks will limit the number going in for Jaunlu- ary chicks. Nevertheless there should be good returns for the few who do, ‘and they can prolong the use of their equipment, as those who have another hatch in the spring so as to have pullets coming into production at different seasons. January chicks will go 'on to range early in the sea- FIELD ROOTS FOR HORSES Turnips and carrots are the most commonly used of field) roots as feed for horses. There is no question as to the .value of field roots as feed for horses, a value which is too little appreciated. son, or they may .be raised indoors until ready for the laying pen. Roots are rarely sliced or pulped when fed to horses for the reason: that the outstanding virtue in root feeding is the beneficial effect on the teeth and gums resulting from the necessary biting into the whole root. The principle values of roots in the ration for horses are: 1. Increase palatability. 2.

The 'rate of application will, of course, depend on a number of factors, chief among which are the character and fertility of the soil, and the nature of the crops to be grown. For most grain crops an application: of muriate of potash of 50 to 75 pounds/per acre will be found sufficient. For clover and alf- alfa these amounts might be doubled with profit. For potatoes, roots, corn and leafy crops generally, 100 lbs. of muriate of potash per acre may be considered an average dress- ing, but frequently- 200 pounds may be profitably used. As a rule it will be found more advantageous to use potash with forms of nitrogen and phosphoric acid than alone and it is always advisable to try out the fer- tilizer on a small scale before makâ€" ing large purchases.

A standard cord is a pile of wood 4 feet high. 4 feet wide and 8 feet in length, giv- ing- a total volume of 128 cubic feet. The amoumrt of solid wood in a cord varies considerably. Crooked sticks, small diameter of the sticks, loose piling and prominent knots are com~ anon characteristics that reduce the volume of solid wood in a cord. It is customary in many localities to sell wood by the short, face of running card. A short cord of wood is a pile 4 feet high, 8 feet long and 12, 14 or 16 inches in width depend- ing on the market requirements. A . Assisms in or increases the di- tibility of coarse fodders. .

During the past year over three score of them donated 40,000 hours of work to the task of giving sick and injured children the very best chance for the recovery of health and happiness. Crippled? Deformed? Hurt in an accident? Suf- fering from Disease? just “yes” to any of these ques- tions has always opened the doors of this institution to children in need of hospital care. No distinction has ever been made in respect to race, creed or circumstances. The Provincial and Municipal Governments each contribute a‘ fixed amount per day for those who cannot pay. But these grants do not c0ntemp1ate the cost of medicines. Operating rooms, oxygen, X-rays, plaster casts, anaesthetics. special diets and extra nursingâ€"and they do not provide for the cost of many, many other neces- sary items.

ALFALFA A VALUABLE CROP Apple growers have found that in order to get sufficient color and ma- turity for the fruit, it is necessary to keep the orchard in sod, breaking up only at intervals of five or six years. And for this purpose the best crop to use is alfalfa. This plant is capable of taking nitrogen from the air and storing- it in the roots as nitrate fertilizers early in the spring, to promote raâ€" pid growth, and to stimulate blOs- soming. A crop of alfalfa is an ex- tremely cheap source of nitrate sup- ply. Alfalfa, being the heaviest yielder of all legume and grass crops, may be out twice a year. The cut- tings. which are allowed to remain under the trees, make an excellent mulch, which conserves moisture and keeps weeds down. Alfalfa, being perennial in nature, remains in the grounl year after year. Its roots penetrate the soil much deeper than thOSe of the apple tree and, therefore, do not consume much of the moisture supply availâ€" able to the tree. Furthermore, the roots open up the soil, making it porous, thereby allowing the air to penetrate the soil, which in turn stimulates bacterial actionl.
