of the leaves.
The spots commonly show fine and
rather indistinct concentric markings,
such as are found in the common al
ternate blight of the potato. The leaf
stalks and vines are also affected. The
blight is caused by a fungus, which
may at least be checked by spraying
with bordeaux.
The first application should be made
when the vines are from twelve tc
eighteen inches long, and then every
two weeks during the season.
The bordeaux mixture should be Of
the usual strength-six pounds O.

AS soon as one crop is taken out the

Weeds are largely eliminated by
this practice. A few crops require
a whole season to mature in, such as
Long Blood beets, egg plant, water

WOOL GROWING IN
CANADA A SUCCESS
This By-Product of the Farm win

Farmers Rich.

Alberta wool growers are looking for
25 cent wool this year. That is the
assertion made by q prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. ut
is quite within the pale of possibility
that we will receive that figure from
u wool this summer" said he, and
l would not be surprised to see some
get more than that.
The war has caused a great demand
to be made on the wooden mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate
rial"
The present season has been most
propitious for the growing Of wool, and
the growers expect to reap a big har-
vest of a splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep are
doing well on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do well. The advice of those
interested in the welfare of the farm.
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising Of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry OF a scale commensu.

The climate is perfectly adapted to
the raising of sheep. they are easily

PICKED UP IN POULTRY YARD.

The fowls will need plenty of green
stuff from now until grass comes
celery tops, cabbages, cut clover or
ground alfalfa.
They must have some meat substi.
tute for the worms and bugs which
they will get on range later-beef
craps green cut bone or meat meal.
Keep plenty of pure water before
the fowls every day all the time. Scald
the drinking vessels two OF three
times a week.
1t is downright cruelty to chickens
to confine them with turkeys, as many
of them will be killed by the larger
birds.
Piercing winds of March and April
are very hard on the fowls, and every
crack in the poultry house should be
made tight, leaving, of course, perfect
ventilation near the top.
Never allow the laying hens, or il
fact any poultry, to stand around OF
damp, cold floors. Straw, chaff OF
leaves are cheap.
Some people say they Fave had good
success by feeding corr exclusively
but it is a fact that hens cannot thrive
on this feed many months at a time.
Always remember that skim milk is
hard to beat in the feeding ration.

ATTENTION AT F0ALING TIME
Nothing Better Than Alfalfa or Glover
Hay ard Bran for Rich Bone
Forming Material.

1t is undoubtedly the best practice
to work the mare regularly until with
in two weeks of foaling time. After
that make the work lighter but keep
up the exercise. The mare at this time
requires more feed than otherwise,
and it should be rich in bone-forming
matter. There is nothing better than
alfalfa or clover hay and bran. At
this time corn should form at least
one-third of the ration, neve more.
and oats one-third.
At foaling time cleanliness : and
quietness are two most important re-
quisites. If previous to pasture time,
a comfortable, roomy box stall should
be provided. This, however, should be
thoroughly disinfected. as should be
the bedding which is placed in it.
1t is very important that the colt
should be nursed after birth. For ten
days after foaling it is very advisable
not to work the mare, but simply to
exercise her. The colt should not fol
low the mare while she is at work, as
this is too hard for the colt and does
not do the mare any good.

crates to be hauled to pits or cellar.
Here the low down wagon with a plat
form. will save many a backaching
lift.
If the tubers are to be pitted, have
the pits on a high part of the field. Dig
a circular hole about a foot deep, put
in a good layer of straw and pour po-
tatoes in a co~ne-shaped heap on it.
Cover with straw and boards, or a lit
tie earth, and add more earth as the
weather grows cooler. l rather like
small pits, say so bushels. If the land
is wet, drainage from the bottom OF
the pit is necessary.
If the crop is to be stored in the eel.
lar, the handiest arrangement is a
rroughlike chute, with roller a upon
which to set the crate to roll from
wagon to cellar. Never roll potatoes
down a chute. If enough crates are al
hand, they may be used to store the
crops, or bins and barrels will answer
If a fair price can be secured when
the tubers are dug, much labor viii
be saved by delivering directly to the
car, also much loss by shrinkage.-A

%ERADICATING PESTS
FROM FARM GARDEN
Onion Worm Is Formidable Foe
to Deal With-Green Aphis
Saps Vigor of Cucumber.
CBy M. ROBERTS coNovER.)

10y NJ. CONOt EfGt
War should be waged from the first
appearance of any garden pests; for,
from the grub or maggot that feasts
upon the tender onion bulbs to the
tiny green aphis that saps the vigor
of the melon or cucumber through its
foliage, their de%predations advance
rapidly.
When your onions fatten their
green tops on the ground pull up sew
eral and examine the bulb. If you
find it a wriggling mass of tiny worms.
you have a formidable guest to deal
with.
Dig up the affected onions and de-
stroy them, If the bed is not extensive
ly infested, then make an emulsion of
carbolic acid and soapsuds in the pro-
portion of n pound of hard soap,
one gallon of water and one pint of
crude carbolic acid.
Dissolve the soap in the water and
add the carbolic acid, stirring until it
forms an emulsion. Then dilute it
with seven and one-half quarts OF wa
ter. Pour this down the rows, close
to the plants.
Holes eaten in cabbage leaves art
due to the cabbage worm; a greei
creature, whose appetite demands a.
extensive area of leaf food. Paris
green mixed with land plaster, in the
proportion of four ounces of paris
green to twenty-five of land plaster,
will kill them.
This is busted over the plants from
a covered tin vessel with a perforated
bottom. When done during the
growth of the plant this does not rem
der them injurious as food, as the
growth is from the center.
But If your young cabbage plants
are nipped off just above the ground
with a smooth, clean cut, save your
plaster. A cutworm has been there.
He is the meanest creature ever held
on a charge of malicious mischief. He
delights in compost and you will find
him near the finest vegetables.
This worn comes out of the ground
in cool. cloudy weather, or at night
He will nip off any valuable plant in
his vicinity and retire. A circle OF
poisoned bran about the plants will
destroy these worms. Two ounces oil
paris green. are mixed with twenty
five pounds of bran. This should be al
least three inches from the plants else
the poison will injure them.
A collar Of stiff, brown paper, sc
large as not to choke the plant at any
stage Of growth, is a protection, If il
extends an inch below, and an incl
and a half above ground.
A handful of tobacco stems, mixed
with the soil in the hill, is destructive
to pests, and does not injure plants.
When the striped beetle appears OF
the squash, cucumber and melo1
vines, dust them thoroughly with lant
plaster, and repeat after each rain, a!
soon as they appear. .1
When the radishes are affected witt

enough, transplant without disturbing
the roots.
In transplanting cabbages. set the
plants in the ground up to the first
leaf, no matter how long the stem is,
and press the earth firmly about it.
In transplanting any vegetable
plants, let it be done in the evening
if possible. Press the soil firmly about
the roots and water well. If, after
the water disappears. dry earth is
covered over the wet it will prevent
baking of the soil about the roots
when the sun comes out next day.
If the bean poles are short and the
vines are pinched off when they reach
the top, the beans will mature earlier.

(By ELMA IONA LOCKE.)
Peas will sprout at 45 degrees.
Always plant the best-not the
cheapest-seed you car get for every

The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good
woven-wire netting fence to keep the
fowls and other garden pests out.
If the garden must of necessity be
on a stiff, clayey soil, mix all the
coal ashes and sand obtainable with
it; they will mellow it up wonder
fully.

WHY PIGS LOSE THEIR TAILS
Than Damp Bedding = Sceurs
Started by Changing Feed.

There are several causes that are
responsible for the loss of small pigs
tails. The tail is very tender in the
first few weeks of the pigs life and
several troubles will u its loss.
There is nothing that causes the
loss more frequently than damp bed
ding, which starts a fever hat ends
in the loss of the tail and thereby
disfigures the pig. For this reason
dry bedding should always be pro-
vided.
Scours also frequently mean the
loss of the tails of young pigs. Scours
can be started by a change in the
sow's feed, especially by letting her
eat spoiled fruit, and in other ways.
