The sections are uniform in size, 6x6 feet being considered about pgight. Each section is finished in one sontinuous operation. sharp. Also, the stripe used as forms aro clean. The consistency of the cement is such thet it will show moistvre on the surface with but little Cement ficors for poultry houses are very satisfactory, and when propâ€" erly made are dry and easily cleaned. On one of the poultry farms visited by the writer the foundation for each lmying house was made of concrete, mx inches wide, set in a bed of gravel. It was deep erough to be below the frostâ€"line and high enough to prevent surface water from entering the house. The floor was concrete, two arnd a half inches deep, laid over twoâ€" ply tar rocfing paper and gravel. Here is a good method of laying «ement floor: Oneâ€"inch boards are laid on the stringers and woven wire netting laid ever the boards, and a layer of ceâ€" ment, threeâ€"fourths of an inch thick, Is covered over the surface. In order to have a perfectly solid foundation, the stringers are close together. If not rigid, bridge work is used between the stringers. In making forms to provide for this division into sections, strips of wood that are free from warp and strong @rough so as not to spring out of shape when the cement is placed against them, are nailed to the board Alternate sections are filled and finished first. When these are suffiâ€" ciently hardened so that the strips may be removed without danger to the coment, the croes strips are reâ€" moved and the other sections are filled end finished. This makes a distinct division between sections and proâ€" vides for expansion and contraction. A floor of this thickness is laid in ene coat. _ A r:fflnt rich mixture is usedâ€"one part of cement to three of eand. The aand used is clean and After bein@ laid, the floor is proâ€" tected for several days from direct eunlight and hot winds. For this reason, the roof is put on the house before the flcor is laid, but the siding is not put on the building until the floor has set, as there must be light and air for the cement to dry. floor, and the nails are left Nothing can be done to prevent the" disease in the seed which you have in | storage. I would certainly advise you| to get some discaseâ€"free potatoes and | do not use your own seed or youw will run the chance of spreading the disâ€"| The only treatment to prevent this Mirht is to spray carefully during the growinz season, starting as soon as the potato plants are 5 or 6 inches high and spraying once every week or ten days after until the plants have made their full growih. The soray to use Is known as Bordeaux, which is rade up of 5 Y»s. of quick lime, 5 lbs. of copper sulphate and 40 gallons of water.

They are the Irish Cobbiers and I have raised these for fixe ycars without changing seed. Will poetaioes run out? this winter? Answer: It would be good practice to arx rye on your sapdy ground this fall. The rye will give a covering to the grouni and prevent considerable leaching of p‘lantfood during the rains and snows of winter. In the spring the rye should be plowed fairly early, so that the sol will pack and the rye plants wil rot and form valuable homus for vour soX. summer.

Relative to potatoes running out: I tz farm Crop **,/ > Querres On Housing the Boars. When talking with a successful hog breeder a few days ago he remarked that ‘he always shied at purchasing breeding animals from a breeder who was not particular about keeping his boars securely penned away from his sows. In one instance he stated that a breeder had five or six young boars running in a field with a number of sows, all of hreeding age. "How is that breeder to know the breeding of the pigs coming from these sows. On the other hand, when a man has his boars housed in secure pens then I, M® TuUral services, know he is careful and I assume that; Able addresses were given by the if he is careful in one thing he is Medical Health Officers of the Twin pretty sure to be particular about| Cities, Drs.

The following kinds of seed grain will be sent out this season: Spring wheat (in about 54b. samples); white oats (about 4â€"lb); barley (about 5â€"lb.); field peas (about bâ€"lb.); field beans (about 2â€"lIb.); flax (about 2â€"1b.).

This makes a softer floor for the fowls to alight upon. pressure. A wooden float is used to bring it to a uniform thickness and smoothness. Answer: It is difficult for me to diagnose the disease that is affecting your chickens. I would advise you to forward your inquiry to Professor W. R. Graham, Poultry Dept., 0. A. C., Guelph, who is an international authâ€" ority on poultry, and will give your question early attention. Mrs. S.: I would like some informaâ€" tion about some little chicks three weeks old. They have a growth around the bill and eyes, and as I never saw anything like it before, I would like to know if it is catching, as J don‘t want them all to get it, if it should be or if it is some disorder from feeding, as I understand they have been fed on cracked corn and mixed grain. | Answer: The manuring of your | garden plot in the fall will have the “advanttage that the manure will be well rotted for next summer‘s crops. |lt will also prevent washing out of considerable plantfood, although you ‘ will lose some of the plantfood in the manure by this very means. Men who run large areas of bush fruits find lit highly profitable to put on manure as you have done in the fall and to give the patch a good~ application of fertilizer fairly high in nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid just at the time that work begins in the spring. An application of about 400 lbs. per acre of a fertilizer carrying 4 to 5 per cent. ammonia and 10 to 12 per cent. phosphoric acid has been found to be highly profitable. When applyâ€" ing it around fruit trees scatter about 10 to 12 lbs. per tree around the tree to the extent that the branches reach and work it into the soil by eultivation. l R. K.; When a sandy garden plot has been well manured in the fall, is commercial fertilizer needed at the spring plowing? The plot is about a quarter of an acre, and is planted with berry and currant bushes, strawberry plants, and fruit trees. would say that if you practice conâ€" tinually picking out small whole poâ€" tatoes for seed you will very shortly deteriorate the strength of the stock until it will return inferior yields. A change of seed, if it involves the bringing in of good quality material, is highly to be desired.

The available help and School Committee in the Instiâ€" tute met the needs of the country betâ€" ter than a separate organization. Health was also discussed and a reâ€" quest was to be sent to the Minister of Labor to extend and strengthen the rural services. Able addresses were given by the There is no hospital between Fort William and Winnipeg, a distance of 450 miles, One woman reported being 45 miles from the nearest doctor. Another had been in her district for 14 years and this year for the first time had a road to come out on. The feelings of the mother of small chilâ€" dren who realized that she or they might any day fall seriously ill under such conditions were vividly pictured and the need of community nurses was strongly emphasized. It was hoped the Department of Public Health could find a way to coâ€"operate with the Institutes to bring about some» practical and efficlent solution of this problem. _ A resolution of for a good deal ¢f at‘ention, as this was felt to be the mo:t efective bit what it costs to build three miles of provincial highways, or even less, spent on all the Women‘s Institutes of Ontario last year. We should think we might have as much as six miles spent on us this year without being unduly reckless in our demands," was the conclusion of the delegates. "We do not want fewer good roads but more good homes and healthy, well educated homeâ€"makers, for aftor all, it is the homeâ€"makers who are doing the really great work of nationâ€" "We are the most economically run department on the continent," was one statement made. "Too economicalâ€"there was just not enough of them in Sewing, Home nursing, Domestic Science, and Milâ€" linery. The "Travelling College" or Short Courses put on by the Institutes Branch of the Department of Agriculâ€" ture came in for decided approval, the only complaint being that there were ’ "We have the resources up here, if we just have enough people of the right sort to know what to do with them," was stated, so their first obâ€" jective is better homes and better people. Consequently health, educaâ€" tion, and recreation were very live topics at this convention. The reports showed that much was being done for the schools by the Branch Institute.} Hornepayno had a woman member as school trustee, and as it was imposâ€"‘ gible to secure buildings enough to cope with the rapidly growing chivbdi population, they had interviewed the Railway officials and secured a pas-, senger coach which they had equipped as an extra room for the pupils. Stratton had gained a Consolidated Schoolk The general opinion expres:â€" ed was that the Consolidated School was the best solution of the northemi educational _ problem. Practically every Branch had done something to bring the home into closer and more helpful coâ€"cperation with the school, providing hot lunches, play equipmvmt,l giving an annual educational social evening whereby teachers, trustees, and citizens might meet, get acâ€" quainted, and find a common sympaâ€" thetic viewpoint for the ensuing year. Practical, courageous, enthusiastic, these delegates in concise clearâ€"cut reports made a survey of the achieveâ€" ments of the past year in home, school, community and district deâ€" velopment. In admirably brief, witty, and pointed speeches and discussion, they threshed out the needs of the North and the available resources which could be placed at the service of the homeâ€"maker through the maâ€" chinery of the Branch Institute which works so directly and effectively with the Government through the Insti-! tutes Branch of the Department of Agriculture. l RETROSPECT AND FERWARD VISION AMONC THE NORTHHERN INSTHUTES "We detouch upon a newser mightier world, varied worll, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!" How many Ontarians realize the magn.tude of Ontarioa? Something of its immensity dawned on the mind of all those who attended the Second Annual Convention of the Women‘s Institutes of the northâ€"western area at the Twin Cities on Oct. 6th ard 7th. Here foregethered the grand pionâ€" eer homeâ€"makers from two hundred and eightyâ€"five miles west cf Fort William and Port Arthur, and three hundred miles east. And this is only the first of the five great conventions that will be held in Ontario this autumn to meet the expanding needs of the rural Women‘s Institutes. Health was another moot subject. organization at the service of the The Twin Citiee Women‘s Instituts Convertica BY GIBSON SCOTT Ontarto, is between May 10 and 17, especialy for the Irish Cobbler varâ€" lety. Farmers, es a rule, the annual report states, sow too late for the largost yield, In every case for the last four years potatoes planted in May yielded the best. Of course the seasons varied in yield, but in every instance May has proved to be the best month for both Irish Cobbler and Green Mountain. Bixtyâ€"six setes of each variety were planted on each of the dates given in the report with the result that the best yields of Irish Cobbler were from potatoes plantad in1 1915 on May 1§', in 1018 on May 14, in 1919 on May 81, in 1920 on May 17. Of Green‘ Mountain the best reâ€" sults were obtained from plantings in 1915 on May 12, in 1918 on May 14, in 1919 en fiuy 81, in 1920 on May 3, a@‘though in the latter year sowing on u.?un and 31 proved almost equally, Bad roads keep folks apart as efâ€" fectively as bad temper. pro. Some interesting and valuable tests are being conducted by the Horticulâ€" tural division of the Dominion Exâ€" perimental Farms as to the best time to sow potatoes. These tests or exâ€" periments, up to last year, have been going on for twentyâ€"two years and are still in progress. According to the Report of the Dominion Horticulturâ€" ist, it has been found that the best time for sowing, at least in Eastern The other Conventions of 1921 are: North Bay, Oct. 18â€"19; Ottawa, Oct. 25â€"26â€"27; London, Nov. 1â€"2â€"3; Toronto, Nov. 15â€"16â€"17. "We are going back to raise money this year to send not only the deleâ€" gates but all members possible as well to next year‘s convention," said the women as with locked hands they sang "Auld Lang Syne" before partâ€" ing. The first of the five, this Convention sends down a breeze of inspiration as exhilarating as its own bracing air. "This work is like the St. Lawrence River system," said the President, Mrs. Todd, in her address, "every litâ€" tle stream, every little drop, contriâ€" butes its part to making the magnifiâ€" cent whole. Every girl, every woman who lqves the home and its human contents is a part of this Women‘s Institutes‘ work with its great dreams and practical realizations." "These women are statesmenâ€"doâ€" ing nationâ€"building of the highest order," commented an observant man. "I used to think the millenium would come through the work of the church. Now I begin to think it is coming through the women." A resolution was passed expressing deep appreciation from the women of the north of the services being renderâ€" ed to the rural homeâ€"makers by the Ontario Department of Agriculture through the Institutes Branch, coup!â€" ed with the wish that this service might be still further extended. A special vote of thanks was given to the Superintendent, Mr. G. A.
