boii ft'ertiiity Of The Orcliard Pravidinjt The Essentia] Elements Of Plant C-owlh Thoie is DOW a great deal of- ex- perimental evidence iu support uf tlu; BtalKinunt tbut humus and nitro.;^'iin are tlie elements of fertility in whicli orchard soHs are mostly commonly deficient. At the Experimental Sta- tion for the Obanagan Valley. Sum- merlanil. B.C., several methods of or- chard culture have been devised with a view to providing these essential elpmrr.ts at the minimum of expense. Where growing leguminous cover crops throughout the year permits, no ditBcully has been experienced In mnintaining an adequate supply of nitrogen and humus in younh or- chards. Alfalfa, hairy vetch and sweet clover have all been used with very satisfactory results. Alfalfa is best ad- apted for use on deep soils which are retentive of moisture. Hairy vetch Is 'the safest cover crop to use on shal- low soils underlaid with gravel, while •weet clover Is useful for breaking up heavy clay. A modified system of cover crop- ping involving cultlvatiou of the land diu'iDg a portion of the Sannmer may be used to advantage. Hairy vetch shown in late July or early August can he counted on to make good cov- er before Winter sets la. If there is not sufficient moisture in the soil to (erminate seed until late August or early September, It Is safer to sow » :?ast growing cereal such as Fall rye. In case a non-legume of this kind Is used, it is often advisable to sup- plement the cover crop with an appli- cation of gome fertilizer high in nit- rogen. Where moisture conditions are such that it is Impossible to grow suf- ficient humus in the form of cover crops, this deficiency may well be sup- plied by the application of stable man- ure. Indeed there Is good reason to believe that even where cover crops are grown, a light application of barn- yard manure is of great benefit from the bacterial action which it stimu- lates In the soil. Firs* Convicted Under Milk Bylaw TILLSONBURG, â€" For the first time in the town's history, a local man was found guilty of an infrac- tion of the town's milk by-law. when Herbert Inman was fined Jl and costs by Magistrate McCrimmon for selling milk without a license. W. C. Brown, K.C., town solicitor, prosecuted. Inman told rhe mag'Js- trate he would continue selling milk but ho was warned by the cadi that he had better observe the law. A written report from Dr. T. E. Karly read in court stated the stabli;s were unfit to house cows for the sale of milk. Customers of Inman went to his housi'. where fhey purchased milk at two (cnts a quart less than llic price of 10c. confirmed l.y the milk control board, it was 'charged by prosecuting witnesses.

There are probably always at lea:5t a few standing diifercnces of opinion on the point. It may help to decide the problem to know what other people are doing, what is the customary age for marrying. In the last few years more Can- adin.n girls have bcon married at 21, more boys at ^'l, than at any other age, but the average is higher be- cau.se more mairy older than youngei. The .".go of the average bride is 23, the hrido^jroom 2*'-. This is a little older than in pre-depres- aiou days, but I'ot much; and the old differences ot about three years in the iice of man and wife still iier- sist. Dan Cupid still cailms his victims of cour.se, across most of the span of life. Each year he strikes near- ly 100 ooys and .300 girls in Canada under the age of 18; more than 100 men, and 20 to 25 women who are 75 or older. Cupid strik \ ;â- . second time more often in the ca?e of women, hut claims neither as often as he ' sed to. Whether '.t is that experience teaches differently or whether they just can't afford it, we don't know; but a much smaller proportion of widows and widowers are remarry- ing now than did 10 yeai's ago.

Along Canada's Mining Highway How LincoLi Won a Convert While Abe Lincoln was on his way to Washington to be inaugurated In 1S61. his train stopped for a short time In WellsviUe Ohio. A large crowd gathered and the homespun lawyer was making a speech from the rear platform when an inebriate In the crowd blurted out ''I voted for a damn sight better man than you." A man who had been used to many jibes, Lincoln did not let his poise become upset, and Instead responded with "I want to meet that man; bring him to me." Although intoxicated the iiiau bad seuse enough to be frightened whilo the crowd became tense w' i antici- pation of the meeting. In a few min- utes the man was face to face with the President- elect. Lincoln, still poised, looked at him a moment and then said, "My friend, you didn't vote for me but I have been elected. I am your Presi<ient. I am go- ing ijwn to Washington to tackle a very hard job and I need your help. Will you help me?" This overwhelmed th<> inebriate, and he replied. '"Sure 1 will, Mr. Lin- coln, sure I will." All this overwhelmed the crowd. tm>. and every one cheered. Jail-Dwellers Forced To Do Without Smuggled Rum VANCOUVER -- "Tru.stics " in Vancouv-er City Jail this week were without smuggled rum rations to which ihey had become accustomed, and police soughl, an unidentified woman believed to have been re- .sponsible for providing the li(|Uor. Motorcycle officers noticed a wo- man hurrying up a garage ramp be- tween tne jail and the city morgue nearby. She disappeared in the darkness of a downtown street.. On investigation, the officers found a full bottle of ruiii dangling f/om a cord lowered from a window' liigh in the jail. They seized the con- tainer I'efore it could be pulled into the building. Several empty l.ottles were found in the "trusties' " <|uarters, but all inmates denied connection with the rum-smuggling pot. We Must Build Men Again One large California employer Jack Dionne, the Texas lumber pub- lisher, about his inability to get sat- isfactory help. "The trouble," he said, "is that for five years we have all been working with skeleton or- ganizations, and we have not been building men to fit our needs. We must start all over again, building men." Every employer should keep be- fore him that oft-quoted sentence from E»i)erson's essays: "The great- est enterprise in the world for splendor, for extent, is the upbuild- ing of a man." All of us must in- terest ourselves in the proper train- ing of joung people who will take the places of those who are running things today. Quebec supplied most important news di;rin;? the past week. The Quebec Manitou property, better known as tho fJolden Manitou, encoun- tered high-grade gold-zluc ore in diamond drilling. It has been known that the contact that appears to be responsible for the large orebodies on the Lamaque continued easterly through the Golden Manitou and Fleming properties. The ilnding of the wide vein containing the above- mentioned high-grade sulphide ore points the way to a major mining doveloiiment. Ont.irio's Martin Dii'd iiropt'rty. located a few miles to the west of the Quebec boundary, supplied other important news. The finding of high- grade ore on the first level west added iraportandy to an already impressive large tonnage mine development. The proving of a new oil field by the Plains Petroleum Company by the briugiut; iu ot a producing well on the Company's 6,000 acre tract located thirty miles cast of Lethbridge and eighty miles south-east of Turner Valley Is a ilevelopmont ot probable tar reaclilii:; importance. Quits Job Rather Than Work Sunday GLASGOWâ€" Bather than violate the Lord's Day, Malcolm Campbell has gi.'sn up his job as steward on the S.S. Loch Ness which sails on Sunday. The minister of the Free Presby- terian Church of which he is a com- municant, announced: "There are spiritual advantages more Important than material prosperity." The .minister said the church did not mind a man working on a ship which was in the oouj'se of a voyage on Sunday but could not counten- ance him working on a ship that was scheduled to sail on Sunday. and put back iu the pen; this is re- peated every other day, starting when the pigs are 4 to 5 days old until they are three weeks old or rather as soon as they start to eat from a small trough.

Anemia in Pi5?s Causes Death i;fpo;ts are cfton received of the large mortality amoni; litOe pigs prior to the age of wcaninK. The little pics which have iisiially been dolntr well and putting on weight suddenly be- come unthrifty. They lose weight, the hair become.'' loiiRh and the pigs appear listless. Diarrhoea is a com- mon symptom. Jf oxaniined they are found to be very pule .iiid anemic which is most apparent in the white of the eyes and in their bloodless ears, and by (he absence ol a healthy pink color from tlii' skin. Deaths are dre (0 anemia are fveciuent. This condition is due to deficiency ot iron in the blood and is particu- larly serious in largi? ijiggorfes. where the pigs are on a carefully balanced ration. The treatment which has proved very satisfactory consists of a pow- dered â- 'reduced iron' which can be purchased at any drug si ore. Absolute accuracy of do.sa.?e is not important, and for practical purposes the quality can be roughly measured as the amount which can be piled up on a small Canadian one cent piece.
