Further- more. when the spark is turned on again. an exiilosinn in the muffler \vith resulting damage. is probable. The actual danger from cutting ott‘ the spark is that the ilriver can- not instantly avail himself of the engine‘s power should occasion arise requiring quirk acceleration to avoid accident. In an emergency, the driver has not time to reach for the switch. even it' he remembers that the spark is MT. and his instinc- tive use of the accelerator fails to give that quick increase in speed neeileil to avoid mishap. ,,.,.,...,...... -__,- _,_ ,_ John Saunders, who had his leg broken last Decomhm'. is able to walk with the assitsance of a cane and hqpvs shqfily to rosumqwork'. «qu llUl'l’v allulllg u, I‘.U\JIIIL vv v. u.

Another name for the black oyster plant is scorzonera. Both'the oyster plant and the scorzonera should be planted early. The tirst is a hardy biennial and the second a hardy perennial, and the roots may remain in the ground for two or three years, but it is at its best the winter following its iirst season. It is one of the two root crops that may be dug any time during the winter, the other being parenip. The scorzonera is well worth a small space in the garden where It will occupy little room and furnish a welcome change next. winter. Care must be used to secure seed from a reliable dealer, as the life of the seed is only one year. Tulip rooted parsley is another novel vegetable, although by no means new, which, with celeriac ur turnip rooted celery, is appearing in the city markets. Both are easily grown in the home garden, and a few roots may be stored for win- ter use. The chief value is as flav- oring _for_s0ups and stews. _ Kohl rabis are now recognized as one of the most delicate of the tur- nip-cabbage tribe for an early gar- den crop. They are at their est when given an early spring start, as they grow pithy and woody in hot weather. They, too, have he- come an all-season market vegeta- ble. They grow as easily and with precisely the same treatment as the turnip. but unlike the turnip. the edible part is the expanded stem which looks like a turnip trying to_ gr0\\'__ above, gru_uncl._ New Zvaland Spinach as summer greens to succeed Hm spring Spin- ach is proving most. useful and is worth a trial. The usual rainfall in a district has an important influence on the success of an apple orchard and should be well 'considered before setting out a plantation. Apple trees are exorbitant. in their de- mands on soil moisture. and unless cheap irigation is available, they require an annual rainfall of at least. twenty to twenty-five inches. This is explained clearly in a new bulletin on the. cultivation of the apple in Canada issued by the De- partment of Agriculture, and distrib- uted by the Publications Branch. Department of Agriculture. ()tta- wa, Excessive humidity is also to be avoided, states Mr. M. B. Davis, author of the bulletin. as it means much expenditure in the control of fungus «*liseases. Sufficient sunshine to develop high color in the fruit is necessary. “”here the season is short and cool. it is difficult to grow marketable fruit. Due consideration must also be given to the winter temperature. as orchards suffering from excessive winter injury are not profitable. Perhaps the most important consideration of all. how- 'ever. is the availability of market- ing facilities. Districts with ready markets for their products have an advantage. that will offset a rea- sonable amount of winter injury or other drawbacks.

LOCATIONS FOR ORCHARDS Of the. four main factors affecting the life of a henâ€"breeding, rearing, housing and feedingâ€"probably none of them is as important as rearing. True, if eggs are not bred into a hen, they cannt be led out, but no matter how well bred a bird is, if it is not well reared, it is not likely to be profitable, and prollt is the goal of most poultry men. On the other hand. unless housing and feeding (after maturity) have been very adverse to the bird. the fault can be corrected and the flock brought into a state of profitable- ness, says H. M. Greenwood, Poul- try InSpector for British Columbia. “Beginner’s luck” is more or less a superstition, but applied to chick- en-rearing, it is almost a truism, for if the man or woman. starting in with chickens on new land, has ordinary “poultry sense." he is al- most sure to raise good, husky birds. whereas the most experienced poul- tryman, who trys to raise his chick- ens on old and contaminated soil. is sure to have high mortalit ' dur- ing the growing period, an later on as well. - To got the boat results. chickens should bo. roarod on soil that has had no poultry, or poultry manure, on it {0' at least a war, and dur- ing the rest )oriod, tho land should. if possiblo. o cropped.
