CHOOSING FERTILIZERS This is the time of year when farm-s are purchasing or considering fertilizers for the various farm crops. Until quite recently, farmers who id not made a study of fertilizers usually depend upon the local fertiliz-agent to advise them as to the particular analysis they should use, and unfortunately the advice from this source was not always in the farmer's best interest. A more acceptable ;e of information is now at the ce of farmers, for the Provincial Governments in Eastern Canada have cent years set up fertilizer councils composed of leading authorities agricultural chemistry, farmers who ve a practical knowledge of the best 3 for fertilizers, and representatives of fertilizer manufacturers. These oils publish recommendations as to the analysis most suitable for the ius crops under the various soil conditions, and thus are performing a valuable service to farmers in assisting them to select fertilizers which promise the most economic returns. THE MODERN FARMER There is no question that the farm-•'s occupation is a skilled and detailed knowledge necessary for success in farming. This skill must take several forms. There is the manual dexterity and mechanical sense needed for op-rating both ordinary and modern farm machinery, and the knowledge required in dealing with horses and took. And avove all there is the judg-nent which decides the right moment o carry out this or that operation on ;ny particular area of soil, and the managerial capacity to arrange operations and materials efficiently. The degree of forethought and skill demanded is much higher than is expect-of the ordinary recipient of the basic wage for unskilled labour. THE FARM POULTRY FLOCK Poultry is at last, definitely recog-ized as one of the essential departments of every up-to-date farm where program of mixed farming is carried l. Not only is it recognized as a necessary department of farm work but ire and more farmers are coming realize that for the capital invest-nt and labour involved there are few if any, departments that give as dgh returns. For the mixed farm, gen-ral purpose breeds such as the Ply-nouth Rocks, which are good both for laying and for the production of market poultry, are recommended. A flodk hundred such birds carefully managed are returning to many a farmer a profit over cost of feed of torn $200 to $500 a year, which is omething not to be disdained by even he most successful farmers.

Vernonville mourns the passing of one of her daughters of whom she was justly proud, in the person of the late Mrs. Jane Coulter, taken from the very centre from her own circle of religious home, business and social life, and brought to rest in the little village cemetery among her ancestors. One feels as they think of her bright and useful life the truth of the Biblical statement, "She being dead, yet liveth, and her works do follow her." How to Make Canada More Beautiful The unlovely things and unattractive places in Canada that displease the eye are made by man. It is time he set out to undo some of the damage that has been done. There are primrose paths for all to tread who care to make them. An amazing amount of worry can be spaded u*der along those paths in a bright spring afternoon. Since Adam tilled the first garden many pastimes have come to claim their thousands but have passed out of the picture while gardening has stood through the centuries. There must be something in it. Buy some flower seeds, plant some flowers or shrubs this coming spring. Help to make Canada more beautiful. The Friendly Subscriber Sends in the News There is nothing that is more welcome to a newspaper office than the friendly subscriber who sends in a bit of news, either by phoning, by letter, or by dropping in at the office. Dozens of incidents occur in the district that are noteworthy and of general interest, but these may not reach the paper until long after the occurence, or maybe not at all. People come and go throughout the community bringing a pleasant little ripple in social life, but too often no one troubles to notify the local newspaper. Yet these little items are appreciated by the office, and they are read by everybody. You may find an opportunity buy or sell by reading the i condensed ads. appearing this on page 5.
