GUNS, APPLIANCES and HUNTING METHODS The use of automatic (auto-loading I guns unless the magazine has been permanently plugged Soil Phosphate Lost in Surface Drainage Few may realize that the flow of muddy water across fields and into ditches is a type of soil erosion and represents loss of fertility, says W. A. McKenzie, Soils Chemist, Toronto. Indeed, the loss of phosphorus in this way may exceed the amount taken up by crops on the area. Much of the phosphorus is contained in the top layer of soil, and phosphates aire being drawn continually by plant roots from the lower levels and deposited near the surface. ' In the spring this top soil layer thaws out first. Spring rain churns up the small soil particles and holds them in suspension as it finds its way to drains and creeks. Now, these vary fine clay particles contain a large part of the soil phosphate. While the surface soil of a field >mey have a clay content of only 5 or 6 per cent, this small fraction may hold over 50 per cent of the available phosphate contained in that soil. - Again in autumn, after harvest, when no growing crops remain to utilize the available plant food from the soil, rains frequently are copious enough to cause a surface run-off which carries away the phosphate -bearing soil particles. These facts bring a realization of what run-off water means. Let us see what happens to the phosphate added to the land "in the form of fertilizer. Exhaustive studies of the subject have shown that not more than 30 percent is used by the growing crop during the first year, and only a small portion of the phosphate carried down to the lower soil areas. Since phosphate Is not leached, as are nitrogen and. to a lesses extent potash, it has been assumed that the phosphorus not assimilated by the crop aiecu-miulates in the soil, except perhaps on slopes where erosdom is 'pronounced. Yet it is apparent thiat even on nearly flat lands, wherever muddy water runs, it carries off a quantity of valuable phosphate. A preventive is the use of protective winter cover crops which conserve phosphorus, other mineral elements and nitrogen, by storing them in their tissues, and prevent surface erosion. Amd the remedy is to apply frequently adequate amounts of well-Ma need fertilizers high in available phosphate. Bladder Campion Bladder Campion is considered one of the most serious weed pesas in Ontario by the Crop, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Depatment of -Agriculture. It is difficult to k-11 owing to its deep fleshy rootstalks and the number of stems growing from 1 crown. The crown is often down 6 to 12 inches in the soil and this explains the difficulty in cutting it off with the plow and the need of deep plowing followed by a stiff toothed cultivator with wide shares which overlap. Roots and root stalks brought to the surface will not survive but any portion left in "he soil with a bud attached! will produce a new plant. Thorough cultivation will erad- ^hemic-i 'eed 1 : the only practical soluti' is prevalent and cultivation impose sible. The first plant found on your property is a danger signa"!, says the Department. Eradicate it and save (.rouble later The Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch. On~sr o Department of Agriculture.

Summer Care for Brood Sows An abundance of good pasture during the summer greatly reduces the cost of maintaining brood sows. Crops such as rape or clover supply needed minerals, vitamins and other nutrients. The exercise obtained in grazing also contributes in no small measure to the general health of the breeding stock, with conseqeunt beneficial results at farrowing time. Sows raising only one litter per year need but little grain after the pigs are weaned, if good pastures are provided. While it is a mistake to allow sows to become too fat. it is equally unwise to allow them to become too thin. Enough grain should be given to keep the sows in thrift v condition, and in any events they should get some grain such as ?, mixture of ground oats, barley and middlings, supplemented ml:lk or fish meal, for t weeks before breeding fall. Sows raising tw< year naturally require than those raising only one. but if early spring and fall litters can be accomodated, the average cost of rearing pigs to weaning 'age will be lower if two litters per year are raised. 'Market hogs -intake faster gains when confined to a pen. but sow pigs which are to be re-served for breeding, should be given good pasture to ensure good vigorous breeders. They should be fed liberally to ensure satisfactory growth when they are on pasture, but if their yard is small and the gilts get only a limited amount of exercise, heavy feed'ng should be avoided.
