Tr carriers of nitrogen, phosphoric acid "and potash. Ph 2, 1 have read about a filler and I heard a talking about a carrier, What do they mean? Answer,--Everyone interested in soil fertility should get definitely in mind that the crop cannot use the pure 1 ts -- nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It gets these elements combinéd with others from the soll, from manure, and {ria fertilizers. This, then, establishes tie nced of a carrier. Manure is a carrier of all three. The average ton of well stored ' manure carries from 10 to 15 lbs. of nitrogen, 4 to 7 lbs. phosphor'c acid and about 10 Ibs. of potash. One hun- dred pounds of nitrate of soda carries 15 1bs. of nitrogen, the rest of sulphate of sodium 'and oxygen and impurities. One hundred pounds of sulphate of ammonia carries 20 lbs. of nitrogen. The rest is made up of hydrogen, sul- phur and oxygen, In other words, the purest forms of the plant foods as they are commonly: but rather incorrectly called, are simply carriers, since the pure element itself must be mixed with some other thing before it can be carried to the plant and taken up by it. y : ' A filler {s an entirely different thing. A filler is inert material that supplies no plant food, which is sometimes put In to make up the rest of the ton. My meaning will be clearly brought out in the answer to the next question. 3. How do you figure out a fertil- lzer analysis? iow Answer. --Let us take 2-12-6 3 an instance. This means tk-t the ton car ries 2% nitro; 12% phosphoric acid, and 6% po Let us take all these percentages of a ton. This would mean that the ton of 2-12-86 would sup- ply, of nitrogen 40 lbs, of phosphoric acid 240 lbs. of potash 120 Ibs. Now - let us; theoretically, and practically if you wish, make this fertilizer up from the following constituents: --niirogen from tankage and sulphate of am- monia; phosphate from 16% super- phosphate; potash 'rom muriate of potash. Let us say in the 2% ot nitrogen that is required wc get %% or 6 lbs. from tankage supplying 6% of nitrogen. This means that therd are 6 Ibs. of nitrogen in 100 1bs. of tankage, There is 1 Ib. in 100/6; there are 6 Ibs. in 100 x 5. = 84 lbs. We will therefore need 84 lbs. tankage. Let us get 1% % of nitrogen from sulphate of ammonia. There are 20 Ibs. nitrogen in 100 Ibs. sulphate of ammonia, Therefore there are 35 1bs. in 100/20 x 35 = 175 lbs. sulphate of ammonia. y Our formula calls for 12% phos-| acid or 240 bs. of phosphofie phoric acid. Ins phate there are 16 filler than 2-126. Speaking generally, af. | the higher the grade of se | less filler it contains, fertilizer, the . Before Lambing Paralysis This disease occurs in pregnant at | ewes, shortly before the lambs are due | to be born. It is most frequently seen on farms where sheep are kept elosely confined and too liberally fed. Too concentrated feed without suf- ficient exercise to use up the digested food, from day to day; results in an accumulation, of fat and glycogen, which brings about such body changes as. will cause interference with the removal of poisonous body wastes: Pregnant sheep that are not given range, or forced to'exercise, should be carefully fed. Another factor favoring the development of the condition "be- foe lambing paralysis," is seen im-the production of heavy twin lambs. This is due to the fact that the wastes from the bedies of the developing lambs must be removed through the circula- tion of' the pregnant ewe. This puts an additional tax on the ewe, and the more numerous the lambs the heavier the tax, So the ewe carrying but one lamb is less likely to develop the dis- ease, Proper feeding and provision for exercise will largely eliminate these losses. Overfeeding pregnant ewes with alfalfa and other nitro- hays has frequently been blamed. It would be better to reserve the alfalfa and other rich feeds until after the ewes come into milk. Epsom 'Salts can be used to advantage in such cases, ; " ---- ~ English Poetry «++ O heavenly Eloquence, That with the strong rein of com- manding words : 'Dost manage, guide, and master th' eminence Of men's affections, more than all their swords, Shall we not offer to thy excellence The richest treasure that our wit affords?

Royal Interest in Scouting ,On invitation of the King of Siam 76 Siamese Scout leaders attended a month's training camp on the Rama Palace grounds at Bejrapuri. At the Heart of the Empire A happening at the foot of the Nel- son Monument, Trafalgar Square, Lon- don, was described by the Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Provincial Minister of Lands and Forests, at the annual meeting dinner of the Ontario Scout Association, as the incident that had first interpreted to him the signific- ance of the Boy Scout Movement, Baling Old Autos The remarkable growth of the auto- mobile industry has sharpened the problem of how to dispose of worn- out and junked cars, Some are disassembled for usable parts and remelting scrap; some are sunk behind breakwaters to serve as bellast; but the majority are aban- doned to rust away. Every® automobile has some value as scrap-metal. Three years ago the Ford Motor Company conceived the idea of dismantling cars in a large- scale way and remelting the steel scrap in open-hearth furnaces. Satis- fied with its first effouts, the company increased its operations about a year ago by the installation of a 1,000-ton hydraulic press for reducing the cars to bales, and a 400-ton furnace to re- melt these large bales. Says a writer in "Steel" (Cleveland): "The press, said to be the world's targest baling press, was designed and built by Logemann Bros, Co., Mil- waukee, and has sufficient size and power to hold a complete automobile or truck, and to reduce it to a com- pressed bundle of open-hearth charg- ing size. : "The derelict automobiles or trucks, stripped of engines and many parts of saleable value, roll one at a time down an incline from the disassembly line into the maw or forward end of the press. An 8-ton hydraulically op- erated steel gate is dropped down to close the opening behind the car, and with the charging chamber sealed, the compression cycle is commenced. "First, a 'low-presure horizontal traveling Tam, capable of exerting 360 tons' pressure, advances against the front of the car and crushes it from a 17-foot length to 80 inches. Tra 697 cubic foot capacity of the charging chamber is reduc.d to 102 102 tubic feet when the horizontal [oar oo ne a Mutt's Always Right. --\ He SAD HE HAD LosT HALF ON THE STocikk AND A [ T HAD LOST HALF ~ WHICH sa] (Mave FleTY- FET" > ¥ While in London in 1929, the year of {the World Scout Jamboree, he visited Tralafgar Square, to "stand for a few minutes' of reflection at the heart son Monument, he was somewhat up- "Red," or some other In its centre, however, he discovered two East Indian Boy Scouts bending over a map of London, laying out a sight-seeing tour by The boys, quite undisturbed by their audience, returned polite thank yous for proffered advice, but went, ahead with their own quiet talk and planning, Finally they rose, one put away the compass, the other folded the map, and without inquiry of any- one they set off. The discuvery of these two young representatives of In- dia, pligrims like himself to the "heart of the Empire," their démeanour, and the confident manner in which they | planned their sight-seeing through the intricacies of the world's greatest city, left a never-forgotten impression. It provided a unique demonstration, the Hon, Mr. Finlayson felt, of the Scout ties of Empire friendship and loyalty, and as well of the practical and unversal value of the Scout train- ing. Ontario Scouts of Many Churches The 1932 Boy Scout census report, for Ontario shows 338 out of 516 Scout Groups sponsored by churches: Angli- can, 172; United, 79; Presbyterian, 46; Roman Catholic, 21; Baptist, 13; Greek Catholic, 1; Friends, 1. The greatest increase was in United Groups. Interdenominational commun. ity groups and units sponsored by hos- pitals, Canadian Legion, 1.0.D.E., Ro- tary and Lions Clubs, etc, make up the balance, Scouting is universal, interdenomin-| ational and' non-political, There is a place in this organization for you, if you are a hey between 12 and 18 years of age, anxious to make the best of your boyhood, and keen to grow into a good citizen of Canada. The Lone Scout Department is especially interested in boys who live in small towns and vil- lages or on farms, and who cannot be- long to regularly organized Boy Scout Troops.

"As the horizontal ram holds the peortially compressed car firmly for- ward, a vertical ram, weighing 17 tons and operating at right angles, descends from above to effect the final compression. Backed by a 1,500-ton pressure, this down-stroke ram crush- es the car to an average height of from 10 to 30 inches. Heavy trucks are compressed into a 80-inch high bale. "Upon release of the pressure, the high and low-pressure rams recede, the gate raises, and an ejector ram noves forward from the left side of the compression chamber, At the same time a bucker-up ram recedes to the right; thus between the two rams the densely compacted bale of steel scrap is discharged onto a conveyor and then taken to the open-hearth furnace. "The powerful rams and teir tre- n.endous pressure operate from large double-pressure cylinder pumps. Op- erated in this instance by 300-horse- power motors, this type of pump per- mits high-speed action at the begin- ning of operations when required pressures are low. When a predeter- ined pressure or resistance point is reached, the low-pressure, fast-mov- ing cylinder. automatically cuts out, ard its high-pressure, slower, but far stronger mate in the second cylinder completes the operation. "All press operations are handled by remote control. One man directs every move by simply turning a hand- wheel to which all functions respond mechanically."

Both the princesses are fair, like their mother, Queen Ena. Beatrix, the elder is 23, a blonde with blue eyes. Maria-Christina is 21, with hair that is almost Titian and darker eyes than those of her sister. ) They are very modern young women, smartly but simply dressed, and al ways busy doing something useful. They are expert knitters, the pullovers and sweaters worn by their brother, the Prince of Asturias, being their handiwork. They are also good short: hand typists, They acquired this accomplishment in order to be useful to their father after 'the Revolution. Rumor has been busy with their marriage plans, the names most often mentioned being those of their cous- ing, Don Alvaro and Don Alonzo of Spain, but for the moment the prin. cesses are heart-whole and carefree the Maria of Italy, Rumor has also been busy about the tall dark and beautiful Princess Mar ia, the King of Italy's youngest daugh- ter, who is only 18. Among those who have been reported engaged to her are Prince Sigvard of Sweden {Princess Ingrid's brother), and Prince Otto of Hapsburg, When Prince Cyril of Bulgaria recently visited the Ital fan Royal Palace, the tongues wagged again, But although she is of full age, ac- cording to Italian law, the Princess is still bent on enjoying life. She is the youngest of five sisters, and resem- bles her mother, who was a princess of Montenegro before her marriage to King Victor Emmanuel. Remains Unmarried, A princess who knows comparative poverty is the Princess Kudoxia of Bulgaria, sister of King Boris, for whom she kept house before his. mar riage to Princess Glovanna of Italy. The King's Civil List amounted to only the equivalent of £3,000 a year, out of which he had four palaces te maintain, Although there have beem rumors of engagements, the princess remains a bachelor girl--from choice, it is understood. She is 34, not re markable for beauty, but keenly intel ligent and with a ready wit. Princess Eudoxia has paid frequent visits to England and Scotland, but for the most part she prefers to travel ir her own country. Looking for Husband. There is one princess who must find a husband, the plump little Dutch Princess Juliana, who has a seat im the Dutch Council of State and am income of £16,000 a year. She will be Queen of Holland one day, and a Prince Consort must be found for her The range of choice is limited. For one thing, the family is devoutly Protestant, and for another, the Com stitution of Holland forbids marriage with the heir to a foreign throne. Princess Juliaua was brought up very simply and democratically as a girl but when she became of age--at 18 three years ago--her mother began te prepare her for the exalted station she will one day occupy. She went to the University of Leyden, and the mos{ celebrated tutors and master were as signed to instruct in the queenly arts, Meanwhile, all talk of betrothal was promptly contradicted by Queen Wik helmina. The princess is somewhat shy, but her shyness conceals remarkable tal ent. She is well versed in history and economics, is a true sportswoman, \nd an artist in watercolor painting. She has sacrificed many personal pleas ures to fit herself to carry on the traditions of the throne. Northern Princesses. There are four Scandinavian prim cesses awaiting candidates for theif favors.
