I would also add that if poultry is kept, the leaves should be thrown into the poultry yard. My poultry yard has always been a disgraceful] muddy hole in October an November heretofore. This year, however, an entirely different state of affairs obtain. The children gathered fifteen or itwenty bags of leaves in the park, ’and dumped them into the yard, and it is really a pleasure to see the splendid, clean, sanitary,’ out-of-door carpet of leaves, which the hens so proudl strut. over or scratch among. ot a‘ particle of mud can be seen, not-1 _' withstanding the heavy rains of this fall. n the spring, these leaves will make a most valuable . humus fertilizer for my heavy clay l “Don’t sweep the leaves off your lawn into the gutter. Hundreds of citizens, garden enthusiasts in- cluded, are daily wasting nature’s [best fertilizer, when, by sweeping the fallen leaves into their gar- dens they could greatly enrich the soil. People who take pride in the appearances of their front lawns would also be doing the grass a good turn by allowing the leaves to remain on it. Don’t sweep your leaves off the lawn; sweep them into the garden, pile them and cover them with a lit- tle lime, or just enough earth to prevent them from being blown around by the wind. and they will be converted into the richest kind of loam a gardener could wish for.” ‘ Two weeks ago, I suggested to the urban readers of The Chronicle that it didn’t pay to burn up the leaves.

I remember how excited we were when it was announced that cer- tain lakes in Grey would furnish cement for Ontario for one hund- red years to come, but if a coal mine is found, Dullerin “excited” will be a mild term to use to describe the feelings of the Duf- feriners. “It is a pleasure to tell you that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is the best cough medicine I have. ever used,” writes Mrs. Hugh Campbell, of Lavonia, Ga. “I have used it with all my children and the results have been highly satisfactory.” For sale by all dealers.
