Mcâ€" ‘arlane also bought a bred heifer consigned by J. S. Whaley for This year there will be more to it than remorse and the decision to "never handle a gun again", if you kill a man. This year the old excuse that you "thought he was a deer" just won‘t hold water. This year you will automatically be charged with manslaughter if you pull the trigger before you make sure. ‘TOP OF $510 AT Dozens of innocent men have been killed in the bush. One of our best friends was hospitalized for nearly two months after being shot for a partridge. The man who shot him was a clese friend, and had been carrying a gun without an accident from the time he had been in knee pants. That‘s how easy a man can be killed for a game bird or animal. Whether you hunt birds with a shotgun or deer with a highâ€" powered rifleâ€"be sure of what you are shooting at before you pull the trigger. Hunters will soon be streaming back into the North country. It‘s Fall and the man who likes to hunt has waited a whole year for the opportunity to fire his gun legally in the direction of some game he hopes to take home. When and if you are asked to buy a ticket for this event, don‘t just say "Nope, I don‘t go to bingos". Stop and think of the useful service these boys are giving and you give a listle in return. ‘These boys are performing a real service to the community and their efforts should be recognized. For this reason, even if you do not attend Bingo games, you should invest in 2 few tickets for the Fowl Bingo being held for the benefit of the School Boys Patrol. Do you lqve your children? That, of course, is a silly question, but did you ever stop to think how much you owe to the boys of the school patrol? These young fellows are only school beys like your own son, but they have the responsibility of seeing that your child and mine are able to cross the various roads in safety. They probably are not even fond of their job. A few extra minutes for a game or to talk to some of his playmates are pretty important. They seem all the more so when he is on duty, and can see his friends doing the things he wants to do. Minutes are precious to children. Remember when you took music lessons? That halfâ€"hour of practice seemed like eternity. Nothing we can write here can help the loss of this fine newsâ€" paperman to the fraternity.

In addition, chilling shoul be omitted and later phnun‘ and late flowering varieties should be the rule. befmning with the New Year, the following important steps should be carefully carried out, states J. H. Crossley, assistant at the Domâ€" inion Experimental Station, Saâ€" anichton, B.C. First, choose vaâ€" rieties that are naturally early flowering. In this fenél-al class use only those specially noted and usually indicated as best for inâ€" door purposes. This is important as the vast ma&ority are best suitâ€" ed to %arden ecoration and meâ€" diocre for growing in the house or for “torcmf This means, in the case of tulips, such noted varieâ€" ties as Brilliant Star, De Wet, Risâ€" ‘mg Sun, Murillo, Peach Blossom, |White Sail, Krelage‘s Triumph, Van der Eerden, Golden Harvest, Wm. Pitt and the Cotland varieâ€" ties; for hyacinths, L‘Innocence, Bismark, Pink Pearl, Jan Bos, and, in the case of daffodils, the ropular King Alfred. Second, seâ€" ect, if possible, bulbs that have. grown in an "early flowering cliâ€" mate". This imparts early natural maturity and the early flowering: characteristics so desirable in outâ€". ofâ€"season culture. Bulbs grown in British Columbia are among the earliest maturing in the world. Third, select top grade bulbs in perfect condition and uniform in size. This generally means King Alfreds and hyacinths at least 2% inches in diameter (1% inches for tulips). Fourth, to improve flowâ€" ering qualities and shorten the time required to flower by as much as two weeks, chill the bulbs by storing them dry for one | month at a temperature of 48 de-I srees Fahrenheit. This should be one as soon as the bulbs are purâ€" chased, preferably midâ€"August. However, a marked measure of improvement in forcing quality can be ach;l‘:}rfd by chiling for a month by s{ nflx% in the first half of September. e househoid reâ€" frigerator will serve for the chilâ€" ling treatment providing fluctuaâ€" tions are not more than a degree‘ or two from the required level.j Fifth, after 30 days chilling, pot the bulbs in a friable mixture of iabout equal parts loam, sand and old compost or peat. Add no ferâ€" tilizer. Sixth, water thoroughly and store in a dark basement where the temperature should reâ€" main at 48 degrees F. This temâ€" perature is most satisfactory for root development. . Fluctuations in temperature and tendency for the soil to dry during the essential rooting period are undesirableâ€" both reflect in the final results. By the 10th to the middle of Decemâ€" ber the pots should be full of roots which is a sign that then and not until then the pots may be shifted to the coolest part of the livingâ€" room. In about a week, warner conditions are desirable but the temrature should not rise above | 68 gees F. before the buds are m‘ Q‘# JI ‘poimnopo [Jom| March flowering is desired, keep the pots in the basement at 48 degrees F. until about four weeks Brightly coloured flowers imâ€" part a cheery and welcome atmosâ€" phere to any livingâ€"room in long winter da{s, especially when enâ€" thusiagm for winter‘s stay begins to wear heavily.

In cases of extreme downâ€"pours the excess water flows down these grass waterways with a minimum of in{'ury to the soils The outâ€" standing event was the removal of the hedgeâ€"row. This was probâ€" ably one of the most spectacular of the day. Nine huge gulldozers were at work on the hedge row and in other sections of the farm. ‘These giant machines took the Itrees to an appointed place where the larger wood was quickâ€". ly cut up by power saws and the lighter trash was prepared for burning. Some of the rocks in the hedge row were brought to the barnyard as was necessary soil to greatly improve this important approach. ‘ vince. The prevailing opinion was that the principles of conservation of our soil wealth were most foreâ€" ibly brought to the attention of the farming public of this Proâ€" Now to aid in all this endeavor to retain moisture and orrnic matter the engineers had laid out the fields in strips to practice what was called strip croj pi% when the land was plowcf: tilled on the contour which means that areas of approximately. the same level were worked in the various strips. While this compliâ€" cates harvesting of crops it perâ€" forms great and important service by slowing down surface overâ€" flow of waters, It catches and holds the waters for crop use and it gives maximum opportunity for the most economic appMcation of manures and fertilizers on the vaâ€" rious fields of the rotations that are adopted. _ The objective of the whole unâ€" dertaking was primarily to retain organic matter in the soil. Organâ€" ic matter in the soil is a prerequiâ€" site of much imgg;tance as was pointed out by f. N. J. Thoâ€" mas, of the Ontario Agricultural College. It gives to the soil the power to catch and hold moisture and retain plant food. Organic matter binds soil \opether and prevents blowing of lighter soil. On heavy soil it opens soil assistâ€" of bacterial life in the soil inge:erat'ion.

While this distance provides ample fall for good drainage it also has proâ€" vided throughout the decades past splendid opportunity for runâ€"off of heavy rain fall carrying some of the precious six inches of soil on which the productivity of our Canadian farms depend. Before operations began there stood a hedge of some fort{ to fifty years of afi; running from the front to the back of the farm along the site of the old lane. This was thickly wooded with chokecherries, buckthorn, elms and a mass of shrubs.
