Thes: | drains often prevent the gullying om or the washing away of soil and sof fertility. 4 @ood surface drains will lesser considerably the amount of winte wheat "drowned out" or "winte: killed." These injurious effects ar largely caused through water stand ing on frozen wheat ground in thi spring. Were this water removed by surface drains, the reason for heav ing so often' seen in wheat fields ir the early spring would be largel: removed. These drains are a benefi: too, in that the removal of surface water enables the land to warm up more quickly, and the plants to star: growth earlier in the spring. Surface drains should follow the natural low levels in the wheat field and be made before the season closes in the fall. They are easily run out with the ordinary long or the swivel plough, and generally do not require to be more than one furrow wide and one furrow deep. Where there is considerable slope in the field and cunsequently greater danger of land being gullied out, care should be tak en that drains are not made too nar- row.

No other cause, not even. winter- killing, has destroyed and is destroy- ing so many cherry and plum trees in this province as the Black Knot disease. This statement, while true of the province as a whole, is not true of the Niagara District nor of any other district where plum and cherry trees are carefully pruned and sprayed each year. The disease is not caused by grubs, {although these aré often found in the knots, put it is caused by a fun- | Bus which attacks the branches and even the trunks of the trees and i} causes black, knot-like swellings, usually about three inches long and fi about half an inch in thickness, | though often the swellings are much | shorter and often again very much ii longer, the longest ones usually be- ing found on the larger branches Ill New knots at first are brownish in- || stead of black, the blackness coming fl with age. 1 The disease will in some orchards confine itself to cherry trees and not attack the plums. In other cases it will attack plums and "fot the cher ries, but more commonly both are attacked. Control Measures.--In order ta control Black Knot thoroughly it is heipful to know that it is spread by means of tiny spores which act as iif seeds, and are blown by the wind iii from tree 'to tree. These spores are |! formed on the knots themselves. | There are two main erops of thew li each year, the first during early {il} spring, usually fn March and April, ji and the second in late spring, usually li} the latter part of May and all of jJune. Therefore, to control the dis- 'ease the first step to take is to cut fi down all dead and dying trees and fl remove all knets on other trees, cut- Hi ger Caco about four inches ¥| below thy knot so as to be sure the infected 'area is remoyed. If knots occur on the very. large branches or on the trunk, they may be removed by means of a chisel or a very stout knife and chisel. An inch at least of the bark on each side should, if possible, be taken with the knots. All prunings, whether of dead or living wood, should be burned at once, otherwise the spores will form on them and spread from them, It is very important to do (his cutting ont and pruning before Christmas time. Warm days alter the leaves are off no conditions must the knots be left 'on the trees until as late as February, In cutting do not overlook any wild cherries that may be infested around or near-the orchard.

Larger Profits From Live Stock Made When Stables Are Given Thor ough. Clean-up -- Live Stock Thrive Better in Dry, Well-Venti- lated Stables. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) NTARIO is fortunate this year in having a good supply of grain in almost all classes of cropg, The © grain there is to select from, the better chance there is to get the very best seed for sowing In the spring. Too many farmers forget the seed supply for mext year's crop until mest of their grain is fed or sold, If the best of this grain was set aside for seed at threshing time or taken from the grain bins before any of it was fed or sold, there would be less work of seed preparation in the 'spring and a foundation provided for better seed than is offen sown. Small, shrunken or broken seed has a feeding value nearly equal to that of large plump seed. The follow- img results of seed selection experi- ments conducted at the Ontario Agri- cultural College at Guelph will show, however, that there is very great dif- ference in the value of these for seed PUTDOSES: -- Weight per Measured Bushel (bs) Tons of Straw per Acre, Bushels of Grain per Acre, Selections, Oats-- Large Plump Seed 33.

Selecting the best seed from that which the farmer has available will not only provide large plump seed for sowing which will produce the most vigorous plants and the largest yield of best quality, but it will very largely illiminate any weed seeds which may be in the grain. -- Dr. C.

Cleanliness, dryness and. good ven- tilation are hygienic 'conditions very desirable in the housing of all kinds of live stock. Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry all do better and are dess liable to contraet infectious and contagious diseases when kept under such conditions than when dirt, dampness and poor ventilation are found in the stables in which they are housed. Undoubtedly, out- breaks of infectious and contagious diseases do occasionally oceur in the best built and best kept stables, but the danger of these spreading is much less than where unhygienic conditions prevail, Without doubt good stock has been produced under stable conditions that were not of the best, but the chances of producing and maintaining good healthy stock are much greater whore cleanliness, Cryness and good ventila- tion in the stables are the order of the day. Dirt of all kinds, whilst it does aot itself produce disease, is liable to harbor and foster the bacteria or other gerris that do cause infectious disease, hence, so long as it is lying around ipside the stables ii is a source of danger to the stock. : It there is one class of stable more than another in which cleanliness is desirable it is the dairy siable. Milk is an ideal food for many varietivs of bacteria as well as for hun.an be- ings or live stock, and many varie- ties of bacteria are always present in stable dirt. Consequently, when dirt or stable dust gets into. milk, wany contaminating bacteria get in with if, It is the action of these bacterfa in the milk that causes it to spoil either by souring er puwtrofaction, Conse- quently, one step in the production of good clean milk is to have # pro- diced where thers is little danger of ditt or duat getting into it, Batpness is A great aet In the spreading and fostering . sease, Perhaps the one latane that 1 ia Many hogs re [081 Annually 8s a re- sult of i through being kept in low-lying, damp quarters. mpacss due to jad ¥ | ¥entilation is véry cond development of tarious d, efrevilation a kept under tk BoA Blin AK 10 for the iv bes as Thin THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918. re ee nT Te dL rl | S| P : EE fi Hi 4 IF you want to bring Music into your * homie, you cannot be more certain of get- ting complete satisfaction than by buying ® The J : Although the Pathephone is the highest type of P| ph "made and ' possesses advantages not found in other makes, it does not cost any more than an ordinary Phonograph.
