tribune greatest spout the most popular sport in north america is neither baseball nor foot ball golf or tennis it is on the con trary the ageold sport of swimming this finding is leached by statisti cians of the united states national recreation association who report that in 1935 no fewer than 4g500000 people went to the public beaches and 18000000 to the outdoor swimming pools in the continent this compares with a seasonal participation in- base ball of 10250000 and in- golf of slightly more than 6000000 swimming is the most informal of all sports and the cheapest and is also the most

days local auto mobile fatalities which ran high on the heels of drunken driving hit-and- run speeders and otherwise incap able chauffeuring and whether you live in toronto or clayville you can

the circumstances arc so unusual that we doubt if another case similar would be reported in a year while he was at work a thunder storm came up quickly and with sev eral other workers he started to run for shelter he was going along a cinder path when he was struck he was struck on the temple and the lightning on its way to the ground ripped off his clothing he was carrying nothing which would attract lightning and was not near any object which might serve that purpose he was merely struck down out in the open and that hap pens so seldom that the case can be regarded as extremely unusual

restore the trees undoubtedly if people wish to see water supplies restored they must not only cease the unscientific cutting of trees that is now practised but must return to something approach ing

bachelors and spinsters and that from all important causes their death rates are lower brandon sun sharing the wealth j p morgan was quoted as having said that if the us government con tinued to spend twice as much as it earned big american fortunes would be dissipated within thirty years john d rockefeller jr asked to comment on the statement said he thought mr morgan gave the for tunes a good long time many will say it is a good thing that wealth should be distributed more evenly that every great fortune represents injustice to the masses but when we put wealth on the stand in its own defense we find there is much to be said with few exceptions if any the great fortunes are used for the public advantage the wealth of a morgan or a rockefeller reaches the paint where it is utterly senseless to think of piling millions on scores of mil lions and its owner looks about for ways of spending a shar for the gen eral good thus the people have been given great universities splendidly en dowed hospitals public libraries parks life has been lengthened by medical research financed by these fortunes is it certain that as much would have been done for the people if the united states in the past half century had possessed a law saying no individual might have an income of more say than 5000 a year onehalf the incomes of the larger fortunes is taken by government as a tax wealth is

re vival in the hhitlsli commonwealth of nations which began some years ago with the remarkable improvement in the economic condition of the mother country and which has been extended to all parts of the empire this is a revival which has been a little better with the peoples of the empire than with any other great nation and especially it has been bet ter than recovery made by the united states in other words for the bene fit of the croakers it has been bet ter to be part of the empire during these latter years than to belong to any other nation of the world van couver province insane it is probable that not more than five per cent of the human race desire to engage in war yet even today when the world is supposed to be at peace there is bitter fighting taking place in china central asia

on the average farm is quite long enough to leave the meadows down for best results and greatest profits they should then be broken up and cultivated for other crops the present is an excellent lime to commence this o tion before grain harvest there are ir any day after showers when the team- car be profitably put at plowing the o meadow deep plowing is nt nacessary no need the furrows lie st up wit narrow pow itapid work at th time of the year is essential a tvo- furrov plow with three hors2s wii turn over a large piece of land in a day at the clorc of eacn day tr- area plowed that day should e rolled this breaks the lumps presses down the furrows reetabishes connection between the surface soil and the subsoil bringing up the moisture from the latter ta ad in rotting the sod after rolling discing and harrow ing should not be delayed with such cultivation one retains a surrace mulch opens aerates and fines the soil and destroys many bad types or noxious weeds and with the cooper ation of the summer sun this work is most effective with the present scarcity of labor this is the cheapest and most practicable method of weed destruction and soil preparation for grain or even for hoed crops after the sod is decayed a rigid or springtooth cultivator with wide points should be kept going at inter vals until autumn then the land should be horoughly plowed as deep as the humus or plant food in the soil will allow results obtained in comparing the summer cultivation of sod land with kail plowing the same indicate very clearly the benefit de rived from summer cultivation as outlined above in addition to the greater yield obtained it should be remembered that the land is there by put into much cleaner subsequent crops condition prevehing waste m s mimffl land plowed in late spring loses moisture rapidly farmers realize 1 c passes through o oa ter lvi tei up by the p muh ciops lilt roots and transpired out through the leaves experimenters have de termined that it requires from 300 io 500 tons of water to produce one pound of dry matter for instance to produce a pound of dry corn fod der 350 tons of water have to go through the plant a pound of clover hay requires 400 tons so it is wpn at tere i- v cloud of invisible moisture rising from every held of growing crops and this moisture comes fiom that stored up in the soil during the period of rain fall one of the reasons it pays to plow land in the fall is because more moisture is stored up for use during the following season in fourteen determinations made at experiment stations kail plowed land snowed s larger water content in every case the range being from 72 to 20 tons per acre above like soils plowed dur ing the latter part of may the soil being open and porous the water from rains and melting snows is ab sorbed instead of running off the surface into the streams as is the case with vnplowcd land land plowed in the late spring loses moisture very rapidly there is usually a wind blowing in the spring and this aids evaporation and the consequent loss of moisture a field left as turned by the plow will lose hundreds of tons of valuable moisture that will be badly needed later in the season by he growing crops for this reason late prng plowing should be followed immed iately by the harrow and other till- ago tools to level the surface cult- vation very effectively checks the loss of soil moisture in one investi gation where two plots were com pared one was cultivated three ins deep and the other left uncultivated a saving of over s50 tons of water per acre was secured on the culti vated plot sometimes land contains too much moisture in the spring and it is desired to get rid of it but usually the danger is that moisture will be lest that should be conserved whe

will be experienced the work of milk production par ticularly in the case of a heavily- producing dairy cow coupled with that of production of offspring is a severe tax upon the vitality of a cow in order that she may begin her period of lactation m good physical condition it is desirable that she be given a rest of six to eight weeks previous to freshening the length of the rest period is determin ed not by any hard and fast rule but rather by the amount of time necessary to put the cow in good condition the two essentials in reducing the milk flow are milking less frequently and supplying less feed if the feed supply is decreased and the cow is milked as usual she will draw upon the surplus energy stored in her body in order to produce a normal amount of milk since the act of milk ing is stimulous to milk secretion therefore if the feed is reduced the milkings should be less frequent when cows are giving s large amount of milk the dryingoff process may be begun by leaving part of the milk in the udder at the regular milking period after a few days one of the daily milkings may be omitted entirely as the milk flow decreases the milking may be done once in three days until the amount has been reduced to three or four pounds daily when the cow need no longer be milked it is important that the dryingoff process take place gradu ally in order to prevent injury to the udder two or three days before the cow is expected to calve she should bo placed in a clean dry and wellbed ded box stall during the lay in mild weather she may he turned out of doors as a moderate amount of exercise during this period is bene ficial if a laxative ration has not been fed a drench of kpsom salts should be given when a cow is given careful attention previous lo freshening fewer of
