In large Communities the Struggle
for Existence Already Is Much
4. s& Too Severe. 55si

1t must be remembered that as inj
crease of population progresses, the,
mere fact OF increase creates new
condi tions. These in turn may check
or destroy earlier tend ncies. Thusd
out Sof the great increase in popula1
fion in our time. has come alre ady, at
least one significant fact. This may
be Y termed the pressure of populai
tion. It may be- defined as the gen1
eraI instructive realization Of larga
numbers. Expression Of this realizai
ton appears ii the decreasing belief
that personal responsibility rests
upon the Individual to rear q large
family or even. in many cases, to ben
come a parent. Mere numbers7-theI
pressure Of humanity on all sides, esq
pecially in the large cities constitute
eyerpresent evidence to the average
man and woman that there are people
enough, and the struggle for existence
is too severe already to be increased
by unnecessary burdens. In conse-
sauence, there has arisen q rather re-
markable and widespread tendency.
now clearly evident in most Of the
larger communities of Europe, volun-
tarily to limit the family. The effect
of this tendency is most marked in
France where it has produced a pres
ent state of equilibrium Of population
liable to be changed at any time into
ia positive national decrease. Limita-
ton Of family has also appeared in
other parts Of the world and has
caused much concern in Australia,
where a very small total white popu-
latfon lis shown 1t should not be
overlooked, however,, in connection
with the apparently exceptional prob.
lem presented by Australia, that the
southern continent seems never to
have sustained a large population.
The aborigines of Austria, New Zea.
land and Tasmania were not numer.
Gus. and those that remain are dying
out SO rapidly as to suggest a very
frail racial grasp upon existence

FertlIizins Wheat.

q would be pleased to have you
recommend a grade of fertilizer to be
used on wheat; also to give full di-
rections for home mixing of same"
G. c. 7.
We recommend as wheat fertilizer
3 per cent of nitrogen, II per cent
of phOsphoric acid, and per cent of
potash; that is, 400 lbs. of Nitrogen,
140O lbs of acid phosphate, of Is
grade, and 200 lbs of muriate of pot
ash will be needed for one ton Of the
fertilizer. The following directions
should be observed: place the acid
phosphate on a barn door and On top
of this, pour the nitrate of soda After
all Jumps have been well pounded up,
put the muriate of potash on the mix
ture and shovel thoroughly through
some kind of an iron screen. Give it a
second shoveling in order to mix it
more thoroughly.
Selecting the Laying Hen.
I'VE have seen advertisements as
to how to select laying hens. Can
you give us any advice in this mat
ter?9 c. G. R.
Mature pullets, or one year old
hens should always be selected as
winter layers. Select those that have
bright eyes, red combs, and that are
quite active They should be those
that are off the roost very early in
he morning and are busy the entire
day in search of food. Some consid-
GRAFTON is given to the shape of the
body 1t should have a long neck
small head, broad long back and the
body forming a triangle on the sides
coming to a point beneath the feet.
Seeding Wheat.
How much good clean seed wheat
should | SOW per acre." c. A. II.
One should SOW two bushels on
land of average fertility and less only
on very poor land. Continued exper-
iments have shown that two bushels
of seed gives better results than
smaller amounts.
