Hoere it is possible to make up for the lack of humus by the use of cover crops, which may be turned under annually. Results from past work at the Loâ€" minion Experimental Farms have elearly demonstrated the fact that eommercial fertilizers, when properly used in conjunction with cover crops, will give as good results as the same amount of plant food supplied in the form of manure. In fact if manure alone is used, the question of a suffiâ€" cient supply of nitrates at the critical pericd in spring is not likely to be solved, for the nitrogen in i*e manure is not in as readily available a form as It ig in nitrates. When manure is‘ used, the time of high nitrate liberaâ€" tion is gencrally somewhat after the period when it is most required, so that, briefly, it is recommended in erchard practice to depend upon the different forms of nitrogen, potash, ard phosphate as found in commercial fertilizers to supply the mineral ole.: ments of plant food." The bulletin also goes fully into the question of the form in which to purchase and apply‘ fertilizers. It can safely be said that the variecty and explicitness of the inâ€"| formation, along with mommenda-! tions to be followed, contained in the ] publication will be found invaluable by all orchardists.

What are known as False Wireâ€" worms have caused material damage in sections of British Columbia and the Prairie Provinces. The adult is a large clumsy black beetle, which is by intensive summer fallowing, comâ€" mencing in early June. Plowing beâ€" tween May 15 and July 15 is often effective. Insectivorous birds at this season of the year also play an imâ€" portant part in destroying the pest. _ ‘{and the losses caused are sometimes very great. Decaying vegetation, proâ€" t duced by the plowing down of sod land , in the spring or autumn, provides ‘‘/ ample food for the young wireworms | for a year or more. _ When fully :‘ grown, the wireworm transforms into ‘a pupa. This is the resting stage of â€" the insect, and takes place in a small _ earthen cell a few inches below the surface of the ground. Later, and usually in the autumn of the year, the pupa transforms into an adult beetle, which emerges during the folâ€"=‘ lowing spring. These beetles are about half an inch in length, and brown or black in color. They are, usually spoken of as "click" beetles or. "snapping" beetles, from their peculiar habit of flipping themselves into the.' air, with an audible click when placed; on their backs. They live above‘ ground and feed voraciously on plant growth. These facts are supplied by | the Chief of the Division of Ficld Crop: and Garden Insects of the Dominion | Entomological Branch, Mr. R. C. Tre-‘} herne, in his recently published pamâ€"| ; phlet on "Wireworm Control." Methâ€" ods of control are fully discussed. In! the wheat growing districts of the Prairie Provinces, says the writer, tfi-» lief from wireworm will be obtained a graduate of the The more you study that, the more truth you find. Cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, canning, sewing, are tasks !which must be done daily, weekly or seasonally if a family is to live in any degree of comfort. But they need not be merely work unless you make them so. With all the windows and most of the doors wide open, bedmaking is one of the finest physical exercises in the? world and the fifteen minutes daily 1 have spent doing that have accomp-! lished two things for me: My beds have been made and my physical effl-l ciency has been increased. Certain work has to be done. It is easier to work when you are not feelâ€" ing tired. You do not get tired so soon 1if you are doing something you like to do, or if you are working in a pleasâ€" ant place and have the right sort of things with which to work. She did have a little trick or secret, however, all her own which came out when I visited her home. Time for family pleasures being the thing most coveted, this particular family, as a whole, studied ways and means of making the most of what time they had. This is how they reasoned: ‘ ‘| children get a lot of fun out of helpâ€" )? ing me because they know we can get : out and play that much more. We ‘; never talk about not liking to do g things. Things just have to be done / and that‘s all there is to it. Makes a ‘| big difference whether or not you like | what you‘re doing." ; PHILOSOPHY OF THE HOME. , How‘s that for a sane philosophy of‘ | homemaking? To this mother, time| | spent with her children in growingi | and developing with them means more, | than ironing miles of ruffies, conking‘ \fancy foods that would merely be‘ | "tasted," and keeping a speckless | house still more speckless,. To have,? | time to be the companion her children | needs is one of her aimsâ€"to be a, homemaker and mother, not merely a) housekeeper. l She could see far enough beyond the rim of her dishpan to realize that the halif hour after supper when the famâ€" ily can all be together is better spent out on the porch or reading aloud beâ€" fore the fireplace, than washing dishes. That is the time for family confâ€" dences. l |_"Do you think a mother with four ; babies can have any time to herself*" , was asked in a meeting one day by the father of those four babies. The answer came immediately from a mother in the audience. "Of course. 1 have five and I have all the time I need." { _ "How do you do it?" she was asked. | _ "Everybody pitches in and helps: | everybody else.

As I play, think of good words to describe it. What do you think the composer wanted to express? At first response will come only from a few; some will be too embarrassed to respond, others will be unable to ex= press what they feel, and some fail to get any impression. The desirable reaction is a free, sincere expression given orally by the majority of the class. The important tYing in most of these lessons is that the teacher log the pupils do the talking," because the title gives a clue as to the composer‘s meaning. At first, atâ€" tention should be disected to the ems»â€" tional or fecling side of music and only later to some of the most obvioug means which the composer has used to produce the feeling. Because the teachor may see so clearly the strucâ€" tural side of the composition, both in form ond in harmony, she is inclined to teach from that viewpoint. The beginner is not interested so much in how a thing is said as in what is said, A good way to approach this is to play the composition without telling its title. "Another plan is that of music apâ€" preciation. Here almost all lessons are listening lessons. If well handled they are extremcly interesting to the pupils and are the type which will por» haps prove to be of most lasting value.

In a paper on this subject a Miss Ruth Major, spe‘w from the standpoint of a normal sc music teacher, says: "The teacher can gain the interest of boys if she has been wise in her choice of material, They like bright, stronely rhythmical songs of the sea, hunting songs, and those with a strong nature appoal, ‘The Sailor Dance,‘ ‘A Merry Life,‘ ‘A Capitol Ship,‘ ‘A Nonsense Song,‘ and ‘The Clang of the Forge‘ are popular, These songs may be arranged so that the boys sing only the part of the melody which lies within their range, while the girls take the higher pasâ€" sages.
