While thrift is concerned with the careful expenditure of the house- wife's income, frugality concerns her willingness to have less of anything rather than more of it, to be satisfied with the less costly, rather than to spend needless money upon a more expensive article, but above all to bend everything in her possession until it serves her in her pursuit of thrifty ways. This' is the season of the year when the thrifty housekeeper will display her frugal ways to the best advantage. One of her regular self-appointed tasks is a daily survey of every piece (Experimental Farms Note) , It is commonly conceded that, for some reason or other, European- grown seed of field roots is superior, in ~reSpect to root crop production abi- 'leity, to seed raised in Canada, In 6rder to investigate this assertion which, were it true, naturally would prevent Canada from becoming a root seed growing country of importance, several experiments have been under- taken during the last few years.

In other words, the im- portance of selection was unmistarie- ably demonstrated. Applying the re- sults to practical root seed growing, it follows, then, that, in order to gain a reputation as a reliable seed pro- ducer, the grower must base his seed growing business on very careful se- lection. Growing of seed from or- dinary root crops without care- Most of the crops from the Comn1Pt- cial, i.e., imported seed, proved rath- er unsatisfactory in as much as the roots were greatly lacking in unifor- mity and smoothness. In a large number of cases the so-called vari- eties were composed of all kinds of types, in fact, often to such a degree that the type which a certain variety was supposed to represent could hard- ly be recognized. Although complete reports, at the time of writing, have not been re- ceived, a. few remarks on the compa- rative value in general of the Cana- dian-grown and the imported seed may be offered, particularly as the re- sults obtained clearly demonstrate on what the crop producing value af root seed largely depends. majority were grown from ordinary seed of commerce, and the balance from seed produced at the Experimen- tal Farms in 1918. in comparison with seed of the same varieties obtained commercially. The results of the experiments strongly indicated that the Canadian-grown seed was fully capable of competing with the commercial seed, which la- ter had been imported from Europe, in respect to crop producing power. In fact in some instances the Cana- dian-grown seed proved decidedly Bll- perior. (To be Continued Next We4rk) Mr Household Hints For The Charters Fls I, Wi PRACTICAL IN EVERY HOME cool.

The Scot urinea, Ontario To use the words of Ruskin, "To be.. come a man too soon is to become a small man." The forcing of maturity at an early age upon either a boy or a girl not only results in a small man or woman physically, but it also re- sults in smallness of intellect and nar- rowness of vision, as well as incapac- ity for the appreciations of obligations and the assumption of responsibility. Suclruntituess is not only serious from the point of view of defence, because of the large number of men of mili- tary age that are incapable of bearing arms when it becomes necessary to call on them to do so, but the lack ot health and strength is a serious handi- cap to the industries of a country where such conditions exist. The prin- cipal factor in industrial production, in fact in production of any character, is the physical and mental alertness and energy of the people. Any cause, therefore, which decreases the physical and mental power decreases the most important resource of a country. The Meadow Fescue which is uni- versally recognized as ‘one of the most valuable grasses, especially for dairy cows, has the advantage over both Orchard and Tall Oat Grass in that it is hardier. It may therefore be used with alfalfa in districts where the former grasses may suffer from lack of winter hardiness. It also comes on quicker after cutting, contributes more to the bulk of the second hay .crop, provides more pasture, in case the field should be used for that pur- pose, and yields better results on land which is somewhat wet on ac- count of imperfect drainage. On the whole, the Meadow Fescue may be universally recommended in mixture with alfalfa. ’ At four and a halt to five years the corner teeth are replaced, the animal at five years having the full comple- ment of incisors, with the corners ful- ly developed. At five to six years there is a level- ing of the permanent pinchers, three pinchers usually being leveled at six and both pairs of intermediates par- tially leveled and the corner incisors showing wear. After six years the arch gradually loses its rounded contour, and it be-' comes nearly straight by the 12th year. In the meantime the teeth gradually become triangular in shape, distinctly separated, and show the progressive wearing to stubs. From seven to eight the pinchers are noticeably worn; trom eight to nine the middle pairs, and by ten years the corner teeth. _ The Orchard Grass is especially well adapted to well drained soil and on such land it may to great advantage be used in mixture with alfalfahlts nutritive qualities are excellent and, besides, it has the reputation of being one of the best weed checking grasses known. The Tall Oat Grass is comparatively susceptible to cold winters and should therefore not be used in districts where the winters are severe. Where it can be grown without losses on ac- count of winter-killing, however, it goes excellently with alfalfa. The Orchard Grass is especially we cceint St. Ca THE CHILI?
