It seems more than : probable that a good crop of clover i turned under will enrich the soil to l an extent equal to an application of: :10 tons of ordinary barnyard manure. l 1 Not only is that valuable and neces-l i sary plant food, nitrogen. furnished {cheaply by this means, but humus- ‘ forming material is added in largel ‘quantities, and this by its partial de-l lcay is particularly important in 3 ameliorating the :physical condition ' : of the soil. And, lastly‘ the mineral : :matter stored up in the cover crop] is finally set free in forms readily 3 assimilahle by the roots of the or~ ‘ ‘ chard trees. Prof. Dorcnwend Some experiments. Experiments have been made to ascertain the ef- fects of cover crops and cultivation on soil moisture on the Central Ex- perimental Farm for several years. Thus, May 6th, 1901 we found that there was 130 tons more water per acre. to a depth of 14 inches. in cul-g tivated soil than in the adjoining plot carryinga vigorous growth of clover. This means that the latteri soil contained but one half the water I in the cultivated soil. But grass sod is more exhaustive than clover sod. I In 192.0 from May to July, trialsi every two weeks showed that the soil in sod contained from 50 to 100: per cent less water than adjoining soil in cultivation the difierence be- ing at times over 200 tons per acre. The drought in the early part of 1903 emphasized these facts and showed markedly the value of cultivation. In the autumn. on the other hand, it is desirable that the water supply should be diminished, so that vege tative growth should be checked and the wood given an opportunity to ripen before the winter sets in. This is readily brought about by sowing the clover crop in June or early part of July. Conserving soil Moisture. Speak- ing generally. it is desirable that the soil moisture should be conserved for the orchard trees during the earlier months of the season. Up to, say. July 1st., the tree is making new growth and is transpiring through its leaves large quantities of water. Further the swelling fruit is making its demands for water. For every pound ol dry matter of leaf or wood 'or fruit. the tree used at least 300 lbs. of water. Hence, in districts where droughts may prevail in spring or the rainfall be scanty, the import- ance of surface cultivation is mark- ed. By this means an earth mulch is produced. and thus evaporation checked or prevented. The cover crop system allows at surface culti. vation in the spring and early sum- mer months. Among the many advantages to be derived from the system of orchard culture which includes the growth of cover crops, we may cite as the two most important: the control of the soil moisture, and the improvement of the soil.

Valuable out of there school-day train- ;ing. They may get as much arith- 3metic, grammar and history and all | the rest from the women as from the l men. Our schools should be "mann- led” with men as well as women. and {if we have permitted the financial attractions of the profession to fall lso far behind the increasing attrac- ‘tions of competitive callings as to al- glow all young men to be drawn away Efrem there profession, we have been ; guilty of a serious betrayal of trust ‘ to the generation which is now grow- ling up. Our fathers did not so mis- ,use us.-â€"â€"Montreal Family Herald. But it is also the serious Opinion of experts that growing boys should very largely be under the care of men. There is a certain inepiration of man- ly leadership which a boy greatly needs, and which he can only get from a manly man. The influence of a thoroughly robust school teacher upon his class of boys cannot be cal- culated. He puts before them con- stantly a model of manliness, and high honor and attractive industry. and clean courage which leaves its stamp upon their forming minds through all the rest of their lives. Dr. Robins. of the McGill Normal School, Montreal, pointed out two facts in his convocation address which must have fallen upon the ears of his hearers with disquieting signi. ficance. He mentioned that the number of graduatesâ€"that is of new teachersâ€"this year was considerable smaller than it was last year, and al- so that scarcely any young men fringed the large body of young ladies before him which was an in dication that the young men were quitting the teaching profession. The meaning of this is that teach- ing is passing from the hands of men into those of women, and that there may even be a scarcity of the latter sort. No one will deny that many of the best teachers in the country are women. There are parts of the deiegate and highly important task of training the young which can best be done by tactful and gentle women. meat of Agriculture. Ottawa. has for some time been recommending the establishment among Canadian dairy liarmers of co-operative testing as- sociations, somewhat similar to those which have had such a marked efiect in increasing the milking capacity ‘and reducing the cost of production 'in Danish dairy herds. Under the {direction of the Minister of Agricul- ture, an object lesson along that line is now being given in the district about Cowansville. Que.. with the Government Cool Curing Room as the ,centre where the testing is done and ’tbe records kept. Arrangements have been made whereby 82 farmers in the vicinity undertake to keep ac- curate reccrd of the dairy milk yield of each cow in their herds. Samples .of both morning and night’s milk are taker three times a month and tested for butter fat at the Cool Cur- ing Room. The milk records sheets ‘ are collected monthly, and these are compared with the books of the cheese factories to which the farmers seed milk, so that a fairly eflicient check on accuracy is provided. Some 1450 cows are concerned in thls Cow ' ansviile cow census, which shows that the large dairymen 'of that. dis-' trict are alive to the importance of; weeding out the unprofitable produc-f ers. This testing association is, as,E yet merely in the experimental stage.; but if it works out satisfactorily, ii ' will doubtless lead to a considerable extension of the movement.

Publication Clerk The Greatest Hair Goods ‘ Artist In America The Bunessan and Glenelg Centre Sunday School picnic is to be held on Tuesday 12th. The children and some of the larger ones are looking forward for a good afternoon’s outing Walter McDonald who has been working at Cementville is home for the haying. Walter is by all means a hustler. This is but one of the many cases that are being cured every day by Ferrozone. No treatment was ever known to supply a weak system so quickly with strength and energy. No tonic does its work so thoroughly. It is a Specific for tiredness. langous, loss of appetite, weakness after fev ers, and all debilitating diseases. Ferrozone makes you strong and keeps you strongâ€"in a word it as sures health and costs but 50c. a box, or six boxes for $2,50 at any drug store. By mail from'I‘he Ferrozone Campany, Kingston Ont Get a supply to-day without fail. Archie Beacon has been on the look out for help and lucky enough he was in capturing Hughie McArthur for the haying and will in the near future be lucky enough to capture some one to assist in the domestic work. The lime burners at Sauzeen Val- ley are busy men this summer as they find readv sale and good prices at the kiln. George Craig is generally on the lead for burning often. Mr. and Mrs. Binnie were away visiting friends in the vicinity of the Queen City last week, Most of the farmers are busy hay- ing this week. which is a fairly good crop. Mrs. George Binnie and daughter, Wilina, visited at the old homestead near Drowore on Saturday and Sun- day last. Mr. Arthur Blair from Zion was welcome with friends at the Centre on Sunday. Come again. Arthur. John Fallice. Sr., is in our burg at present. ' Malcolm Benton and his son, John, from Berkeley were calling on friends in the burg and attended service at the Ce" "'6 on Sabbath last. Mr. J Mrs. 0.

" For the benefit of others.” writes Mr. Douglas, “I desire to state the results I derived from the use of Ferrozone. Two years ago I was stricken with Pneumonia. So severe was the attack and so reduced was my strength that my life was des- paired of. I had the very best medi- cal attention, but made no progress towards recovery. When reduced to practically a skeleton. a kind friend told me of the remarkable powers of Eerrozone. An improvement began almost at once. I gained steadily in weight and strength until Ferrozone made me a new man. I will gladly answer inquiries from other sufl'erers if they care to have further particu~ lars about my recovery. Ferrozone deserves its great measure of suc- cessfl’ We all extend sympathy to the Jackson famil y in their eore affliction. Mrs. McGillivray, at last accounts. was still on her annual vacation in Priceville and vicinity. Duncan McNab has been busy of late putting up hay tracks in the surrounding country.

Mrs. John McGillivray is somewhat improved in health. John erected a tent for her and we hope she will continue to get stronger. We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Patrick Haley, of Pomona. is quite ill. Her sisters, Miss Annie, of Mt. Forest, and Mrs. Ambrous Haley. of Owen Sound. are with her at present. The uniform success of this remedy had made it the most papular prepara- tion in use for bowel complaints. It is everywhere recognized as the one remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant to take. It is especiallv valuable for summer diarrhoea in children and is undoubt- edly the means of saving the lives of a great many children each year. For sale by B. Parker. John Morrison.
