How England Obtained Canada

Acadla-now Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick-and the Hudson's Bay ter
ritory were coded to Great Britain by
France by the treaty Of Utrecht In
Ills. To be sure, Britain had an older
title to the Hudson's Bay territory by
reason of discovery and occupation,
and the territory came to mean about
all the Canadian West Of today. Old
Canada-today the provinces of Que.
bee and Ontario-were ceded to Great
Britain by France by the treaty Of
Paris, signed on February 10, 1853.
BY this same treaty France gave up
any claim to the Ohio valley and other
territory now forming much of the
central West of the United States.

EXCELLENT FEED FOR DAIRY
Peavine Silage Is Very PaIatable, Con.
tanning More Protein Than
That From Corn.

Peavine silage is an excellent feed
for dairy cows, being very palatable
and containing more protein than corn
silage and approximately equaling 1t
in the total nutrients. Because of its
strong odor, peavine silage should be
fed after rather than before milking
to prevent tainting the milk. 1t may
be fed in as large quantities as will
be consumed but is more satisfactory
when supplied at the rate of about 25
pounds per COW per day.

FUNGUS DISEASES OF TOMATO
5Iossom.End Rot Attacks Fruit Be-
fore It Is Mature, Causing II to '
Drop to Ground.

Blossom-end rot of tomatoes is a
disease caused by fungus. 1t attacks
the blossom-end Of the fruit while the
fruit is green and causes 1t to rot and
drop Off before 1t is mature. AS soon
as the disease is observed, pull off all
affected fruit and destroy it. After this,
spray thoroughly with bordeaux mix
ture. Bordeaux mixture is made with
one pound Of blue stone, one pound of
quick lime and IL gallons of water. Dis
solve the blue stone by hanging 1t in a
cloth bag, In water, over night. Stake
the lime separately, then mix the two
thoroughly, and add the IL gallons of
water. Earthen, glass or wood recep-
tacles must be used to dissolve the
blue stone In. 1t will corrode metal.
II fruit is rlpened, gather all ripe
fruit before spraying. 1t is neces-
sary to repeat the spray every week
as long as there is any sign Of the dis

FLAG Etiquette.

In the display of the Stars and
Stripes by Americans etiquette pre-
scrlbes that the American flag should
be hoisted first and on the tallest and
most conspicuous staff, or In other cir
cunstances should occupy the most
conspicuous position. In the case Of
an equal display the Stars and Stripes
should occupy the position at the right.
No other flag is flown on the same
staff with the Stars and Stripes except

Is mellow. When the surface Is sufTi-
GENTLY loose and dry to reduce evap-
grafton, Is open enough to prevent run
off, and no weeds are starting, cul-
tlvation could do no good and If care
lessly performed would do injury to
the corn.
Object of Cultivation.
Corn should be cultivated only when
one or more objects will be accom-
plished by the cultivation and when to-
tai effects will be more beneficial than
injurious. The beneficial effects Of
cultivation are:
G) Preventing weeds from robbing
the corn of soil moisture and fertility.
(2) Putting the surface in cOndi-
ton to take in rainfall, thus prevent
ing run-off and erosion, which mean
losses Of water and soil fertility.
(3) Warming the soil by drying its
surface quickly.
(4) Saving moisture by checking
Its capillary rise to the soil surface.
Some injurious effects of cultivation
are:
Q) Breaking the corn roots which
otherwise would use some of the
moisture of light showers before it
evaporates; and
(2) Forming large clods and air
spaces, thus permitting air to enter
and dry the soil

ment Of Agrlculture)
Farmers can make the cultivation
of corn most effective and go long
way toward assuring themselves of
harvesting good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants are small, before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed by light stirring of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tivation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor,
but 1t cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many corn
roots.
If corn land has been properly pre-.
pared deep cultivation is not advisable.
1t should never be given close to the
plants after they are n foot high, as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start of the weeds,
In many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly, 1t is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to cultivate the field before corn comes
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and 1t Is poor man.
agement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation Is beneficial in prevent
Ing the loss Of moisture by evapora-
tion and also in Fastening the warm
Ing of the soil. The loss of soil mois-
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from compact damp surface
than from loose, dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and ut high
attitudes the conservation of heat Is
frequently MS important as the con-
servation of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted In evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
Cultivatlng after heavy rains Is
good practice. To be most effective
the cultlvating should be done as soon
as the surface is dry enough to work
well. If the soil Is allowed to dry I'M
til 1t breaks up cloddy, much moisture
will he lost, good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. AS long as
rapid evaporation is taking place, the
surface will remain cold and the
growth Of the corn will be slow. In
order to cover large areas quickly, cul-
tivators which work two or more rows
are n great advantage.

sary and the best. time for them de-
pend upon weather and soil conditions.
Weeds should not be allowed to grow,
and mellow surface should be main.

effectually accomplished with one or
two civilizations; in other seasons
from four to six civilizations may be
necessary.

THEIR TWO WAYS.
Women Shoppers Show There Are
Two Methods of Killing a Cat.
One Gets Grudeing Service by Sharp

girl by Her Pleasant Words.

1t was three days before Christmas.
In many departments of Bolivar &
Clark's great store girls with tired
eyes were crying, usually with pa
tience, to serve the never-ending line
of customers. In the Bingham depart
ment, however, the clerks we're having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together,
taking 1t for granted that any chance
visitor to the department was on her
way to the silk department beyond.
So it happened that two women
stood for several minutes in front of
the seersuckers without being noticed.
Presently one of them walked across
to the group where Madge Hardness
was graphically describing the Christ
mas that she would have IL she had
a thousand dollars to spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tone.

have no time to waste. VIII one of

A hot color famed in Madge's face.
She turned at once and began taking
down seersuckers. She answered ev-
cry question distinctly; there was not
a thing with which her customer could
find fault, and yet her whole manner
radlated antagonism. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders

to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like to put her behind the counter
TO wait upon herself. Wouldn't she
be sweet one? She'd be fired at the
end of the first day."
Just then the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was a little,
white-haired, old lady, but there was
twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into
Madge's sullen face with a warm
hearted friendliness.
II hope you won't mind my saying
It," she remarked, "but what pretty
girls you have at this counterl Old
ladies love to see them, you know"
For moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh, and the old lady
laughed with her. 81
"Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed,
twinkllng again, II expected you to.
But all the same" she added, when her
order was taken and she was turning
away, II meant 1t, too"
"Taffy!" Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. "But 1 be-
lieve she meant it. Anyway,>it made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be so foxyl"
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator. but II
was q tender smile, for she really
loved girls.

had seen 1t all went on her way smil-
