Jamiarj 9 191 P THE FLESHERrON ADVANCE Soldiers Home Coming Campaign War Work and After- War Work of the SALVATION ARMY "FIRST TO SERVE^LAST TO APPEAL** The Salvation Army has for 53 years been organized on a military basis â€" inured io hiiMAPt sacrifice and service. It is always in action, day and night. It has maintainrd Military Huts, Mustels and Rest Rooms, providing food and rest for tens of thousands of soldiers each day. 1,2C0 uniformed workers and 45 ambulances have been in service at the front â€" in addition to taking care of the needs of soldiers' families here at home, assisting the widows and orphans, and relieving distress arising from the absence of the soldier head ol the family. Notwithstanding all the Government is planning to do, notwithstanding the pensions and the relief work of otiier organizations, hundreds of cases of urgent human need are constantly de- manding the practical help the Salvation Army is trained and equipped to render, ioi! Army Million Dollar Fund January 19th to 25th While it could do so, the Salvation Army has carried on without any general appeal. Now the crisis is aiiuing with the return of the iOO.OOO soldiers. The budget for essential work during the coming year h. s been prepared. A million dollar! must be raised to continue the after-the-war activities, whicii include; Hostels for Soldiers Salvation .Army llor-icls are vitally neC'rssary for the protection aiwl Cv'r'iioil of tlie sol.iicr at the many slop- ping places lictwcen i-'rancc and tii;i hunic here in Canada.

They are supplied. It takes jnoiiey, of course, but more important is the loving spirit of •-â- rvicc in which the work is done. When the Soldier Needs a Friend The Salvation Army Lassie provides the boys with hoi coffee, the pies, chocolate, niaKazines, writing materials, and the spiritual comfort which the boys in Khaki need. Until the last homew.ird-bound soldier is re-established in civilian life, will you ni)t help the Salvation -Army to coinhal the discuiufgrU and evils that beset his path.' The service of the Salvation Army, founded on sacrifice, demonstrates the true spirit of the Mas* ter. It is directed to the extension of the Kingdom of Christ. For tv/o generations the Salvatioti Army has stood out and out for God. It approaches practical problems in a practical way and achieves RESULTS. It co-operates witH all â€" overlaps none. It recognizes neither color, race nor creed. It is always in action, day and night. No ortianization does greater work at less cost. To carry on its great work it must have financial help, and on its behalf members of the Dominion Government, business men and returned soldiers endorse this appeal for funds.

MAGHINESJAVE LABOR Work of Efficient Gas Engine in House and Barn. How E«rly Winter Pruning May Be Done Without Injury â€" Winter Rliubarb I« Delicious and May Bo Grown by AJl. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Af^riculture, Toronto.) SAVING labor In stable and home, by the use of machinery, is one of the great economic problems engaging the atten- tion of farmers to-day. Through the use of machinery they can produce even more, at less cost, than in years past, when labor was plentiful, and tolerably cheap. Probably never before in tha his- tory of the farming world have so many farm problems been solved by a .single piece of machineiTr as h.ns now been accomplished by the ga.so- line engine. In the stable it can be employed to advantage in grinding feed for the stoclj. It can cut feed and ensilage. It can pump water for the house and stable whenever one plea.ses; a hydrant on the lawn, and in the stock yards to which a hose may bo attached for washing the buggy, sprinliling the lawn, flushing pens and stable and for other pur- poses, Is f, source of much satisfac- tion, pleasure and comfort. By means of a line .shaft a gas engine may operate many laljor-.sav- ing macnines at tlie same time, it can run the grindstone, root pulpor, fanning mill, cream separator, churn, sheep shearers, hpite clippers, rotary curry-comb and the milking machino, with which it i.s pos.sible to milk two cows in about si.t minucs, including the time required for changing and setting. Further a.ssis'^ance may be had by attaching the power for re- frigeration and 1 ir circulating milk over a cooling surface â€" a practical necessity. No longer need the preparation of whitewash and its application with a brush be consigned to warmer re- gions, for llie engine can pumy the mixture from a tank or barrel through a hose attached to a spray- ing outfit. It is possible to pump it two hundred feet. When the job is done the hose should be cleaned out by having fresh water pumped through it. The gasoline engine solves for the farmer the problems of comfort in the house, safety In the stables, and a great deal of drudgery generally. â€" Prof. John Evans, O. A. College, Guelph. Liglit Fnll Pruning Is Safe. Light pruning in fall is permiss- ible, but heavy pruning is dangerous and likely to result in serious dam- age from winter killing, especially if the sjicceeding winter is severe. The injury is caused by drying out of the cut area and may be prevented by covering all wounds of any size witli a good covering of pulnt made from pure lead and oil. Do not use pre- pared paints as these contain injur- ious benzine or turpentine dryers. To make an effective covering it will be necessary to give not less than \\\o coals, because one cout will no', prevent checking and drying of preen wood. Coal tar makes an excellent wound covering and is easily apiilied. This mattcM- of covering wounds made in fall or early winior i.s fre- quently slighted by orchard men. but the writer has seen such serious dam- age result from neglect of this pre- caution that be feels justilled in warning fruit growers with regard lo tlio. practice. In exiieriniental (rials in the college apple ordiard, varie- ties so hardy as Duchess of Olden- burg, Wolf Kiver, Snow and Scott's Winter have suffered very serious in- jury following November pruning with llie cut.s left unprotected. The wounds dry out aiound the edges ami by spring I he dead area is greatly en- larged, frequently extending down till! trunk oi- branch for fi foot or more. The dead hark comes away later, leaving a large dead area, detri- mental lo Iho parts above and certain also to decay later. Prof. J. W. Crow, O. A. College, Ouelpli. How Winter |{liul)arb I.s Produced. The production of rhubarb in win- ter has become of considerable value among gardeners, it is easy lo do if certain methods are followed. If one is making a permanent business of rhubarb forcing, it is neces.sary, each year to set out a new bed, as plants once forced are of no further value. In the spring largo roots should be dug, split in one bud see- tions and replaced in rich moi.st ground. During the growing season they are kept cultivated and free from weeds. In the fall they are cov- ered with manure. Next spring a se- cond bed is planted as before. That fall a large part of the first bed is taken up, leaving sufficient to replant another bed the next spring. Tlio roots are taken up the lust Ihin.q la llie fall before the hard freezing wea- ther comes and are placed in piles in a slicd where they can ea.sily be got at during the winter but will remain l.ozen. Early in December take in u suiricient number of roots, plaeo these bud side up on the floor of a v.urm cellar â€" about 68 degrees or 70 degrees â€" and cover with an inch of :;aiul. Ho sure to fill in all Inter- â- ^ii.ne. Keep this sand moist. About .\ VMok later the buds will bogln to '.ui'll and in from four lo six weeks, tk'iunding upon the heat of the room â€" the cooler and slower growth starts - you should have rhubarb r( dy. .\ftor these roots are exhausted throw lluni awiiy nnrt put in more. If a constant supply is required made a new bed every two or tliiuo weeks during the winter. He sure to keep nil the front dimmed.

Xanies of the Itewued IVovlnces'to Be Kestored. The newly-formed Association Generale dos Alsaciens-Lorrains is issuing an appeal to the press and the educational insiilutions of Bri- tain and America lo restore the French spelling of geographical names of places \\\ the redeemed pro- vinces of Alsace and Lorraine. The appeal proceeds: "While we realize that the Ger- man form has unfortunately been the enforced spelling for llie last forty- seven years, we feel sure that when you reflect that many of us have during lliis time always continued the Frencli chirography of these names and refrained from using the German spelling, you can be sure it jars upon us in these happy days to see this Teutonic form constantly employed. "We are venturing to send you herewith a list of the French foim of the principal cities, and if these can hereafter be employed you will be conferring the greatest favor upon all our compatriots." A partial list of "corrected names" is furnished as follows: â€" lAMllier, In the hunt for new sources of leather suange things are turning up.
