Boots & Shoes Poultry Liue aB wl YE Never we think since the days of Mrâ€" Noah bas there been such wide spreading floods as those that almost covered an entire state last week. Ohio and lndiana were the principal sufferers, thederd counting into the bundreds, and property loss into the millions _ Freshets and heavy rains on the tributary streams swelled the bigger rivers, in some cases dams burst seiting free a wall of water, bridges held for a while and then gaye way creatiog a new impulse and puny man stood helpless in the presence of this mighty tforce of naâ€" ture. The city of Dayton, Ohio, is one of weorst sufferers. It is built largely in a valley through which a river flows, the bhigh lands on sach side being 2% miles apart. Down this valley came the ficod overflowing all the river banks, flowing on to the streets of town, rising till not only basements but lower stories ut business places and dwellings were floodod and the inmates had to seek shelter and safeâ€" ty in the top stories. Satety was far from being assured howeyer, for it was no quiet back water that surâ€" rounded them, but a raushing torrent. Those who know Durbam can imâ€" agine the conditions, if between the big hill on Main street and Cork town hill on the south there rushed a mighty tiyer, rising as high as the top of the verandah on the Habn House! Dayton was worse than this. No fewer than 15,000 houses must be rebailt, 20,000 people have to be cared for, indefinitely, having lost their all, 2000 haildings, stores and dwellings are so injured that they must te palied down and the relief committee could use halt a million dollars, In Nebraska, Indiana, New York, West Virginia and in mauy othor states the toll of uestruction has been large. A great impetus has been given to the study of a remedy and that most favored is the comstruction ot arresting dams on the tributary rivers, a work that would have to be undertaken by the National governâ€" ment.

Cause Heavy Loss of Life. and Dried Apples Tremendous Floods. On Second Floor of Farm Stock THE DURHAM REVIEW Io talking along the lines of plant toods he mentioned sultivation but laid greatstress or the use of fertilizâ€" ers. The barpyard manure was the best but as an assistant the use of commercial fertilizers was strongly recommended. He quoted experiâ€" ments te show that the use of these fertilizers was profitable. At his meetings in Priceville every Tharsday evening, Mr Oito Konold has developed his talent of speaking along the lines of agriculture. On the 28th of March he delighted the members of Glenelg Centre Farmers‘ Clab with a talk on Agricultural Proâ€" duocts He started with the plant and traced the food materials that went to make up the plant. Then he showed the relatien between these foods and the use of them to the animal they were fed to. Tracimg the plants to the feed pen he stated the following as & good raâ€" tion for a mileh cow,â€"2 lbs, corn meal, 2 ibs. oats, 4 lbs. bran, 10 lbs, clover bhay and from 20 to z5 lbs, roots or cern silage. Many questions were asked, all of which were ansâ€" wered in good style by the speaker. Songs were sung by Messrs Konold and T. H. Binnie and the evening was voted both pleasant and profitâ€" able.

Probably nine peoâ€" ple out ot every ten would name April in answer to this question, w hile as a matter of fact it is the dryâ€" est month in the whole twelve, acâ€" cording to Irot. W. H. Day, of the Ontari» Agricultaral College, Guelph. Taking all the stations in Ontario where records of the rain and snew have been kept, he finds the average precipitation for the various months during the past ten years to be as follows : January 2.23 inches of rain and melted snew together, February 2.40 inchbes, March 2.22, April 2 14, May 2.81, June 2.92, July 3.46, Au gust 2.52, September 2 81, October 2:54, November 2.43 and December 2.63 inches respectively, making a total ayerage precipitation for the ten years of 31.87 inches. April it will be noted has the"least preeipitaâ€" tion of all. * From these figures‘‘ Prof. Day remarks " one reeeives another surâ€" prise to learn that July is really the we‘test month, so far as actual amount of precipitation is concerned. Why does the driest month seem the wetâ€" test and the wettest seem the driest ? During the winter the snow accamuâ€" lates and when it melts in late March or early April it forms several inchâ€" es of water which saturates the soil and drains away very slowly. Beâ€" sides in the Spring there is cool weather usually coupled with considâ€" erable cloudiness and gentle rains, so that evaporation is largely preâ€" vented and hence the soil and roads remain wet ; in summer the showers are heayy, but being few and far beâ€" tween and as a rule with clear sky and hot weather intervening, evapâ€" oration is much greater than even the beavy raintall. so that the soil and roads become drier and drier. The year 1912 will go down in memory as an exceedingly wet one, yet as a matter of fact 1902 was wetâ€" ter, :o far as actual raintall is conâ€" cerned. And 1909 had within an ineh as much rain as 1912. Bat the precipitation of 1912 was not well distributed. February and March were considerably below the normal. May bad nearly twice as much as usual. June and July were both much below the average, while Auâ€" gust and September were unusually wet. But worse than the rainfall, was the almost continuous cloudiness, which retarded evaporation and thus prevected the soil, roads and grain from " drying out *‘ rapidly between raias even in the summertime. These factors combined to make the soil wetter during 1912 than it bas been in many years. Never perhaps has the value ef thorough underdrainage been more emphatically â€" demorstrated than during the past year. Land that was thoroughly tile drained gave splendid crops despite the excessive witness, while thousands of acres of undrained land could not even be seeded and some that was seeded and did produce a partial crop was so wet that the grain could not be harvested. ‘‘‘The effect of this lesson.‘"‘ says Proft. Day, ‘"is reflected in greater interest and activity than usual in matters relating to tile drainage. We are holding over a larger number of applications for drainage surveys than we have for some years past and fresh applications are coming in rapâ€" idly, so that the drainage campaign promises to be unusually active.‘"‘ The Department of Physics, of which Pref. Day bas charge, makes tile drainage suryeys tor farmers on applieation, the only outlay to the tarmers being the necessary trayelâ€" ling expenses connected with the surâ€" vey. These are usually small as generally several surveys are made on the same trip. Those wishing surveys should write the Department of Physics, O. A.C., Guelpb, for regular application forms.
