Dur- l ir.g the hard years. he said. the province would not have had so good a record if it had not been for the development of dairying. Cream tickets went a long way to- ward paying grocery and repair bills and made it unnecessary for the thrifty dairy farmer to run up heavy store bills; and again in, turn left the net proceeds of the'wheat own very largely to go toward the reduction of capital de'bt. *Slight- `1.v changed to meet eastern con- ditions, the argument is applicable here.

In manv of the southern and eastern States of the UJS. you see nothing else from day's end to day's end. And in` some parts of Europe the ponular plow_ is one with a rever- sible share with which the plow- man. instead of walking around the headland. simn-IY turns rizht about and comes -`back along the `X =ame furrow. a Do you like peonies? If you do {this is the month to set them out. Many people have the idea that spring is the proper time to plant all perenn-ials. but the peony is one of the exceptions.

There are two common blunders in setting out peony roots. One is setting too deeply. Even in very light soil the crowns should not be set deeper than three inches. and in heavier"soils two and one-half inches is plenty. An-other mistake is the too-free use of -manure. If 1'] manure is used at all. it should be '1- wellgrotted. well mixed with earth. t` and not allowed to touch the roots 3 directly. Peonies {bush oug; considerably in growing and it i well to allow four feet each way.

The weather was ideal with a tang of autumn in the air. The potato situation is agitating the farmer most at this time. There are indications of some blight and much rot, the latter in the low lands, due to heavy rains of the past fortnight. The murp.hys had been selling for $1 a bag up to recently. but on Saturday dropped to 90 cents and 75 cents in quantities. The best the_ farmers are being offered at railroad sidings is 60 cents, one man at the market admitted. He said the same situation prevailed in On- worrying much about blight and view of the low price. They state than 90 cents. Contrary to forecast the price of tomatoes, 11 quart basket, dropped to 30 cents. The best ones brought cent variety were splendid for pick- ling purposes. Growers have been predicting that second grade toma- toes would not go below 40 cents. Dairy products continue to bring good prices: Householders, steady customers week in and week out. mm fivn +n ten pounds. Luuvlo-my tario County.

Hi:Ns vs. PULLETS 1-`on EGG PRODUCTION (Experivmetytal Farms Note) On many farms. poultry y_ields little prot because the hens kept are too old . Very often two. three and even'four-year old hens are found on such farms. These birds absorb much of, the prot which would be derived from the small group of pullets raised each year. A. mmm-ampn+. conducted at the of puuets ralseu eacu yctu. An experiment conducted Dominion Experimental Station at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere shows that year-old hens are already less protable than pullets. During three consecutive years. two equal groups of hens and pullets receiv- ed the same feed, and the number of eggs laid and cost of feeding for each group were accurately re- corded. The results of these three years of. experimenting are sum- V med up as follows: `l.'|_~- .f`nn4- `7a111a |v"" `V Get her back to K work. Moulting hens don't lay R eggs.

It is noticeable that the average prot from the pullets during the three years more than doubled that from the hens. This is due to their bet- . ter production. especially in win- ter time, the best season for the sale of eggs. .... canon 4. +1; cl-mourn cnrnn-vi- sale or eggs. According to the above experi- ment, it seems advantageous to raise, each`year, a sufficient num- ber of pullets to replace all year- old hens. except those required for the production of hatching eggs. Hen eggs are usually more fertile and give stronger chicks. 'l"`m lnnna m11:+ `ha nnrnillv go- and glve stronger uxuuna. The hens must be carefully se- lected in the fall. only those of `best type and production being` re- tained for breeding. . According to our experiments. the cost of raising pullets is more Haw. offset by the sale of the year- old hens in the fall. 1-: _,I,, Trouble Signs For Those Pst 40 Bladder Weakness, Nervousness, Headaches, Frequent, Painful, Scan- ty Urination, Getting-up-Nights The embarrassing annoyance and genuine misery, of `Bladder.
