Winter Conditions Point to Trouble When the Spring Break up Comes. All this winter snow has fallen in unusually large quantities. There was no "January thaw" and no marked thaws in February. It has been a steady winter with the prospect of it remaining so until the spring break- up. Then the rains will descend and the winds will blow in the mos Bibli- cal manner and floods of unusual pro- portions will be the result. Already a small February thaw has caused | much damage at points along the |'Thames and Grand rivers in Ontario. \Ice jams forced the water over some artificial embankments and much loss and discomfort resulted. of and gives to the Germans the larg- Are these instances merely a foretaste of what is coming?

Food kept in cellars in the low lands bordering streams should be 'yemoved: to upper stories of houses, so as to prevent its destruction or dam- age in flooded cellars. Similarly fod- ,der and grain in barns should be ; Placed as high and dry as possible.

This field enabled the farmer to save for hay another five acre field, which gave a yield of 10 tons. The summer pasture grew 80 well that, when ready for use, it was fenced across and only half of it pas- tured. The two and one-half acres, however, provided the main pasture August, and caused an increase of 35 pounds per day in milk yield, which 'held up for more than a month, while other pastures were short. The other half of the field yielded six loads of mixed feed cut green and made into hay. The field was seeded to clover and timothy, and the onset of the win- ter found it in splendid condition with a good catch of grass and clover. Best results on this farm were ob- tained from oats and vetches, with wheat, oats and barley next, and oats 'and peas last. Plan now to try it this year; it means more feed. *, ------------%.

The Marconi Company has start- ed a special school for training wo- men in wireless telegraphy at its North Wales station. At present the company is taking only women of ex- perience in Morse telegraphy, but this is only a temporary restriction. The course deals with slip reading, punching, record féading and the gen- eral daties of a wireless station. The girls will be drafted to land stations when efficient and will go on night duty in rotation. It is not proposed to extend the use of women to ships for the present, but if this is to be altered it probably will apply only to coastwise shipping, + When making mustard mix with a little milk and a pinch of salt.
