A hen often gets confused and it does not seem to know right 'straight oft whether to stay on the side of the road or try and get back to the side where she lives. When she sees a car coming along that instinct to got back home seems to become cpera- tive at once. A hen may not know a great deal but, when she gets scar- ed she will run for home and never away from it. There have been a good many hens- killed along a good many roads and highways in the same way, and we have always felt the number has been too. great. A car driver knows a hen is likely to run across the road and it would not call 'or much exertion to try and avoid the thing. Looking back quite a few years, we cannot recall seeing a speckled hen or any other kind of hen lying dead be- side the road in front of Lot 4, con- cession Ten, and there were days when the speckled hens used to go out there. The speckled hens used io cover quite a lot of territory. Days when the plowing was going on the hens often moved over to follow the plow, and they were probably féeding themselves and doing a good turn for- growth in general when they filled up on the white bugs. Other days they might take a no- tion to follow the lane toward the road. The pup could always get oe the gate, so could the hens. Just where the lane turned toward the road over an old culvert the road- way was rather sandy and it was a fine place for the speckled hen to dust herself. In the cool of the even- ing it was also a pleasant place for a lad to walk with bare feet for the dust as it came up between the toes seemed pleasant indeed. The heat of the day had gone from it. But we arc quite certain the speck- i . led hens 'do not dust themselves today on the Tenth Concession _because. it is now part'of the Highway system and there is probably a newer and I tte gote at the end of the lanc N stkrough 'which they could no longer pass. So the hen has to move in a nar- rower circle today if she wishes to keep on living her full span of years. Quite often we have seen the remains of tha hen which tried to "hurry to her own home-side of the road when a car came along. We believe the - speckled hen of the Tenth Concession i -3 | 4 §- | : Et \ 5 i. | id 4 - | 4 i i & re 3 vuger must have had a happier sort of life than the on living beside a highway today.

SMITH "Article No. 14 ~ The more tender sorts of vegetables are beans, tomato plants, squash, cu- cumbers and melons. They will not start to grow until the weather and soll really become warm. All garden tomatoes should . be staked, using either wooden or steel stakes about six feet high. Trim off all side shoots as they develop, training: the main stem up along the stake and tleing loosely about every foot. Like Rich Soll All these warm weather vegetables prefer rich, open soil and any mem- bers of the melon family; that fis, squash, cucumber, citron, etc., take special delight in hot, sandy soll, though it must be made rich with well-rotted manure or good garden fertilizer, Conserve Moisture Dry weather. will seldom affect a constantly cultivated garden. Stirring of the top soil prevents evaporation' of moisture and it also keeps down those robbers of plant food and water- weeds, Especially during the early part of the season is cultivation neces- La a =o ag hb sary and more particularly after each shower, Late Planted Flowers Even in the more northerly sections of Canada it will soon be time to plant those rather tender flowers such ag dahlias, gladioli and cammas. None of these, with the possible exception of gladioll, will stand any frost, but because all are bulbs: or corms and 'are planted several inches deep, a light frost after they are set out but , before the shoots appear, will not do any damage. Rules are simple: fairly rich, but loose garden soil is preferred by all three, though good results from dahlias can be obtained in almost any kind of soil. The bulbs or corms should be planted from about four to six inches deep for gladioll to twice this much for the larger dahlias and cannas. All prefer an open position, though with these as well as all flow- ers of vivid coloring, a position which is slightly shaded around noon is pre. ferrable to protect the blooms from being bleached out by the hot sun. These flowers will benefit from a thorough soaking during the hot, dry weather, Grasshoppers Are Hatching on The Prairies Poison Sent to Farmers and Army of Men is Ready OTTAWA. -- Grasshoppers are hatching on the prairies and an army of men is waiting to launch an at- tack on the destructive pests. "The next two or three weeks wilt tell the story," H. G. Crawford of the Entomological Branch in the Agricul. ture Department said. "Dry weather Is favorable to their development. If there are plentiful rains in Saskatchewan and Alberta, vegetation will get a head start on the insects. Also, in wet weather, the grasshoppers die of disease." The war against grasshoppers 1- carried out every year through c.- operation of Dominion _and Provin- carry out surveys of infestation and the Provinces spend the money for poisoned mash set out in the fields. Throughout the badly infested area 'of Saskatchewan and Albertd, Mr. Crawford said, poisoned mash has been distributed to farmers- and will be sown in the fields as the grasshop- pers hatch and crawl out of the ground where the eggs are laid.' The mash is composed of bran, sawdust «n active poison. wr "The Federal survey indicates more than 53,000,000 acres are "threatened with infestation. This is an increase ci 9,600,000 acres from last year. Heavy rains in 1935 almost wiped grasshoppers out in Manitoba. Much control activity may not be needed in that Province, although 451,000 acres In the southwest corner will be affected. Active control measures will be re- quired over large areas of the other two Prairie Provinces, however, Grain Feeding . In all gr«in feeding it must be kept in mind that the product being used is an expensive one and can un- der no circumstances be used in the feeding or finishing of low grade or indifferently bred animals. Not only must the animals 'be of approved "types, but experience has clearly shown that certain kinds of farm animals greatly excel others in their ability to util'ze the feeds provided. Especially is this true in connection with the feeding of grains. Poultry would probably head the list in this regard, with the pig standing a close second in its ability to manufacture feed grains into meat economically. The dairy cow, because of her abil- ity to give off from her body im- mense quantities of milk during a long lactation period, would rank third, followed by beef cattle and sheep.

At the moment we rather sympa- thize with her, having just been told of an interview with a reporter in the Hotel Casey, in Scranton, which, in its entirety, went something like this: ¥ : Reporter: Do you call the Presi- dent every night? , Mrs, R.: Heavens, no!

It is reported that fully 650,- 000 in an area of 7,600 square miles were in London, electrically speak- ing, though seated in far-away homes, and saw and heard some- thing of the magnificent outdoor ceremony--saw troops, Queen Mary, the Princesses, even the King and Queen. Before that a Derby had been crudely televised for the bene- fit of a music hall's audience In London. But ths televising of the coronation procession was an event of historic importance in its own right. It was as important, for ex- ample, as Morse's first message, "What hath God wrought," or Mar- coni's transmission across the At- lantic of the signal that stood for the letter "S", or Bell's famous "Watson, come here," the first words ever sent over a telepygone. What of the next coronation? Not only will the empire hear the pray- ers, the antiphonal chanting, ~ the solemn vows of the King, but it will see jn Westminster Abbey the mov- ing splendor of an ancient rite. Elec- tric waves, millions of them a sec- ond, will transport Hindus, New Zea- landers, South Africans, Canadians to far-away London. What are the roads of Rome compared with this? Or -the telegraph and the airplane? Three hundred million discarnate 'personalities transplanted with the velocity of light through space. It] is plain that an invention is in the course of development which is of in- calculable social, political and econ-: omic value to the empire. The dom- inions have achieved independence, but so long as they can hear and see what is going on in London, they must feel a kinship with England that depends on something stronger than sentiment. Perhaps historians would do well to consider the part that electrical communication has played in cementing together colon- ies and home country, and the even greater part that it is destined to play when the King's majesty be- comes a living presence wherever the British flag flutters in the breeze. White Grub Pest Have you ever noticed when visit- ing the country during seeding time that farmers allow their poultry to run loose in the fields? A city man accustomed to think of hens as kept in wire-encircled yards, might think there is a bit of carelessness there, but the very reverse ig the case. n fact the farmer is glad to see the hens out there scratching for a living. Busy "biddy" is doing a most useful work, comparable with the value of the eggs she lays. Watch the hen pecking away indus- triovsly behind the plowman as he turns the sweet-smelling sod, They are feeding on the enemy grubs that have been developing in the pipelines in which the mother beetles laid their eggs, and which the plowshare has uncovered. . Occasionally the birds take a hand in helping the farmer in thus riding the soil of the pests, The white grub is one of the worst of these. Ordinarily it lives on grass roots, but it likes potatoes, the roots cf corn, wheat, oats, asters, gerani- ums, strawberries and roses. Entomo- logists of the Dominion department of agriculture made an examination of many farms in eastern Ontario two or three years ago and found an average loss of $188 per farm. The May beetles which lay the eggs that become the white grub are burly brown insects that fly about at night, bang against window panes because they are atracted by the light, and otherwise prove a nuisance if there are holes In the screen door.

The F joe Maniacs To Our Forests Man's efforts are puny 'in fight- ing with the elements of fire and water when these assail man's in- genuity in force. The latest fire re- ported is from Alberta where damage to the extent of many thousands of dollars was caused within a couple of days. EE In Northern Ontario there was an-- other outbreak that seemed likely to rival some of those that swept the northern forest areas last summer. Fortunately this was overcome when rangers were rushed to the scene of the conflagration in airplanes. The problem of all the provincial governments is to prevent fires, and to this-end rangers are employed to traverse the districts constantly, fol- lowing the paths of the woodsmen, the hunters and other tour:sts, who, despite the prevalence of warning signs, set out fires with absolute dis- regard for consequences, and leave the neighborhood without extin- guishing them. i That is the carelessness that fis costing the provinces many millions "track allowances to the bush. / Buckingham FINE CUT of dollars annually, Fire rang'ng un-- questionably preyents great loss, but there ought to be some way of get- ting the facts before the people, that better precautions must be taken in their own interests, as well as those of the country, if the forests are not to be wholly obliterated, or else per- mits to traverse them denied alto- gether. . Lumber is becoming too scarce an article to be wasted. The supply is lessening annually, and un- less better methods of fire preven- tion are adopted it will not be many years before the whole of the tim- ber supply will be exhausted. Scarce- ly a timbered area in Canada has es- caped untouched. One big problem of governments nowadays is that of reforestation, but little has been done in this direction. Perhaps when fire has consumed the bulk of the merchantable timber and the pulp forests, they will realze the importance of reforesting all cut over areas as speedily as possible. Some vainly imagine there are il- limitable supplies for all time, but official reports show that a real dan- ger exists that the supply will short- ly be a thing of the past. The great- est danger places are said to be along the lines of railways, and if this is the case, the railways may yet be compelled to share the cost of fire ranging, unless safety devices are installed on all engines to prevent the transmission of fire from the For- est fires are considered largely pre- ventable, and all governments have a duty in this respect that cannot be ignored. Even in Sweden Nature's Tree Method Is Best In Ontario Tree Planting By Man Has Not Been Wholly A Success Over in Sweden where scientific forestry has been followed for two generations "the ideal" method of re- forestation is by Nature's method, without more than a pat on the head - from man, ; Under Canadian conditions rg¢- sceding by Nature is the only prac- tical method. Our efforts at artifi- cial forest regeneration have been of doubtful value. Wilson Woodside, writ'ng in a To- ronto paper says: "Forestry has been developed to a ecience in Sweden. The nation's for- ests are measured, and estimated to contain 1,420 million cubic meters of weod., The annual growth is calcu- lated at forty-seven million cubic meters of wood. The annual growth 12 calculated at forty-seven million cubic meters; the "crop" taken out is between thirty and forty millions. Her forest land is Sweden's greatest single natural resource, and she in- tends that it be permanently main- tained. Tor thirty years it has been unlawful, not merely to slash forests but even to thin them out unduly. Immature trees may not be cut at all. and the replacement of all ma- 'ture timber cut must be provided for either by natural regeneration (the ideal held out), or by plant'ng seedlings. "To this end, the State provides annually from its nurseries forty to forty-five million seedling trees and many tons of pine and spruce see. Its foresters dig four to five thousand miles of forest ditches, clean out hundreds of miles of brook, and visit annually all of Sweden's 20,000 log- ging sites. Ths work of supervision and education js carried on by the Forest Commission Board, and by its branches in every country.

Forest operators, large and small, have come to co-operate so well that the commission's annual list of specific prohibitions of activ- ity now numbers only about 100, and its court actions less than half a dozen." In the above are several signifi- cant hints Ontario might well take? note of: (1- Sweden doesn't permit a for- est to be thinned out unduly. Doubt- less some trees are left to reseed the ground. > (2) Immatiire trees are not allow- ed to be cut at all. : (3) "Natural regeneration" im- plies certain work in helping Nature. (4) Sweden dips forest ditches to drain wet forest land and cleans out brooks for the same purpose. (6) There is an annual inspection of camps, to see that the law is ob- served. It would appear that this paper has been. unconsciously advocating Swedish methods for some time. Ontario Province As a Business | The Government of Ontario has bought space in The Journal and many other newspapers through which today it conveys to the people of the..province a detailed statement of the financial position "of Ontario at the end of the fiscal year notes the Ottawa Journal, It is a departure practice, and an excellent one. The taxpayers of this province are share- holders in the business of Ontario, and Mr. Hepburn and his assoclates are in the position of a board of dl- rectors. That board now reports to the shareholders through the medi- um used by private corporations--ad- vertising space in the newspapers. The report, furthermore, is in a form every citizen must seo and can understand. ts publication will add to his understanding of public affairs, and it is highly desirable that every shareholder in this business which took in more than eighty million dol- lars last year should have at least a superficial knowledge of the manner in which that money was ralsed, and the purposes for which it was spent.

Surveying ravages caused by this European insect which kills trees by eating the leaves, Dr. Arthur Gib- son, Dominion entomologist, declar- ed: "The sawfly is undoubtedly the gravest menace to the Canadian for- estry industry. Forestry men now recognize it as a danger of greater gravity than forest fires. © "By the énd of this year the saw- fly will have destroyed 7,000 square miles of spruce in the Gaspe Penin- sula alone. It has spread through New Brunswick and into Nova Seo- tia, and is moving westward toward Ontario." ' Mature spruce available for the lumbering industry is estimated at 66,422,000,000 cubic feet, natural wealth equivalent to $1,000 for every man, woman and child in the ecoun- try. Aroused to Danger Provincial forestry services re co-operating with the Dominion in fighting the pest. Pulp and companies have been aroused to the danger and a group of their key men gathered in the office of J." J. de- Gryse, one of Dr. Gibson's assist- antsfi to learn methods of comabt'ng the infestation. A similar meeting was held in Quebec two weeks ago and other gatherings are scheduled for points in Ontario and the Maritime Rrov- "inces. < The fly was first discovered in 1930 after forestry men reported leafless and dying trees in Eastern Canada. Dr. Gibson said it might have been in Canada for 30 or 40 years. So firmly has the insect become established that entomologists expect years, perhaps decades, will be taken to conquer it. In Central Europe, native habitat of the sawfly, another small fly keeps it in check. This natural con- trol has not been available in Can- ada and to combat the sawfly mil- lions of the smaller parasites are be- ing imported. Last year 28,000,000 of the para- sites were brought into Canada for propagation and released in the for- ests to attack the sawfly. Millions more are coming this year. Propuaga- tion is being carried out in the gov- ernment's $100,000 laboratory «t Belleville, Ont., to which a $30,000 extension is to be built. Proper Care of The Herd Sire Some Common Practises That Are Serious Mistalkes It is found on most farms that an open shed with adjoining yard or small pasture where he may ex- creise is the most satisfactory way of housing the herd sire. Success- ful breeders state that under no cir- cumstances should he be allowed to run loose with the cow herd in the pasture. Such carelessness will ex- haust the vitality of the sire and may cause him to become an uncertain breeder. No record of breeding dates can be kept, and the practice really is dangerous to the owner and to the chance passerby. One frequently sces. a bull con- fined in a dark, dingy stall. This 1s a cerious mistake. If he is not to become impotent and vicious, the bull must have plenty of exercise and fresh air. This may be obtained in a'variety of ways. Many good breeders use a sweep or a licht cable stretched the lenoth of the yard. A chain attached to the bull is fastened to a ring that slides along the cable, so the bull can wa'k readily from end to end of the suspended wire. These are only a 'ew ways of exercising the herd sire. It matters little how he gets it; the essential thing is that he gets it. When we realize that no bull is gentle enough to be trusted, and regulate our methods of handling them accordingly, many unfortunate accidents will be prevented. There are only two good ways to handle a bull. Either he should be led on a regulation bull staff that can be at- tached to the ring in his nose, or he should be kept in a specially con- structed pen so that he can be fed and watered without anyone enter- ing the pen. Bulls fed and handled along the lines suggested should retain their . potency until 12 or 13 years old. In other words, they may be used some eight years after records are avail- able showing their ability as dairy sires, Good dairymen agree in con-w-- demning the practice of discarding a bull before there is opportunity to compare his daughters with their dams.
