&# % & 4 44 44 *# 16 * / One of the sights I like to see is a perfectly conditioned horse cantering through brilliant sunshine. How he glistens! His coat is like burnished metal, but it is more beautiful than metal; for it is a rippling, living surâ€" face, moving to the flex and flow of the big muscles underneath He is a 'nnd'picturo. and he knows it. And know that there is plenty of elbow Elaborate equipment is not needed to keep a horse in good coat. A wisp of hay or straw is almost as good as eurrycomb or bristle brush. A rumâ€" pled newspaper is a substitute for the chamois polishing cloth. In an emergency you can groom him with Kur bare hands, as it is done in dia. But one thing you must use â€"â€"and that is elbow grease. I know that there is plenty of elbow greaso in his stable. In hot weather or cold, the aim of grooming is to put the horse in his stall warm, dry, clean and limber. In summer, grooming really begins about a mile beyond the stable. Let him walk that last mile, and he will come in dry, needing only a dab here and there with a damp sponge before you go to work with brush and cloth. If he comes in hot, in hot weather, over him swiftly with a sponge. g:y particular attention to mouth, nose, ears, the hollows under the jaw, the inside of the hind legs, and the dock, or fleshy part of the tail. If it THE NEXT STEP. When he is dry it is time for brushâ€" Ing and polishing. The oldâ€"fashioned currycomb, with saw teeth, is tabooed. It was a stupid, cruel tool. A bristle brush is better, and "that should be used considerately on a thinâ€"skinned, spirited animal. Get down into the roots of the mane and the hair on the fetlocks.

But this is so risky that it is not recommended to the rrsnn who is out of elbow grease. t should be done in the sun. Afterâ€" ward the horse should be covered with a light blanket or walked in the #un until dry. Dandruff, while always unsightly, does no great harm to the coat in winter. In summer it can bd a posiâ€" tive torture. If you love your horse, you will see that he is free of it. The combination of sweat and dandruff is about as pleasant as the hives. Take a bristle brush or a currycomb with corrugated edges, and work at his coat with a circular motion. When the dandruf is loosened go at him with a wisp of straw which has been dampened. Be sure that it is damp, as the dandruff will then cling to the wisp. Farmer after farmer has the firm conviction that plowing does not kill the corn borer, because they have seen them on the surface after the stubble has been plowed and they looked quite healthy. They also say that they have pulled up buried stubble and found them lying inside as happy as they could be anywhere. They say too that the borers will survive the winter in pools in the barnyard where they freeze stiff, and so, they conclude, "How can plowing possibly kill them?" All the above statements are quite true but for all that plowing does kill the borer, but in a different way from what the farmer expected. In nature the borers do not live: underground except that they will go down in corn stalks or stubble as far as to the end of the main root. Thereâ€" fore when corn fields are plowed and everything is buried they are out of their natural environment, but even so, they often remain where they are until the stubble, or weeds, or corn remnants in which they are hidden, begin to decay and grow slimy and utterly unlike what they were above ground. Then, if the ground is not frozen, as soon as the weather beâ€" comes warm they come to the surface. Here birds, ants, bettles and other enemies find and kill many of them. The rest, except for a very rare one, which happens to find and crawl into some small piece of corn or weed remnant, sooner or later die from exâ€" posure. Bear in mind therefore that in order to live, these larvae must have protection such as is afforded above ground by bits of cornstalks or of coarse weeds. Thus the more thoroughly you have plowed, the fowâ€" er hiding places will be left on the surface and the larger the percentage of borers which will be killed by their natural enemies or by the weather. When plowing is done early in the fall, most of the borers come up beâ€" fore winter. When it is done late many remain in the ground until the soil warms up in the spring. Another fact to remember is that, if the borers did not come to the surâ€" face, the delicate moths into which they transform would die, because the moths cannot work their way through the ground and live. Experiments bave proven that even the cleanest cleanâ€"up without plowâ€" Ing, leaves twice as many borers alive as a fair cleanâ€"up with good plowing.

It is a narrow, fiexible strip of brass; and if you grasp it at both ends and draw the thin edge over his coat, you will be surprised at the amount of water it will scerape off, A shingle is a handy substitute. Now put on a blanket and a hood. If you have no hood, you must rub his ears, neck and head until they are dry. Then you must bandage his legs, loosely but warmly. If he is very wet and the weather is very cold, an additional blanket should be put on in about twenty minutes. The moisâ€" ture will be drawn to the top blanket, which can then be removed. When he is dry, brush him thorâ€" oughly. Be sure you get all the dried mud off his belly and legs. Never wash the mud from a horse‘s legs unâ€" less you are prepared to dry them immediately. If the horse comes in very tired, his forelegs may be bathed from knee to foot, his hind legs from hock to foot, in water as hot as your hand will bear. Do one leg at a time. Dry it and bandage it. Rub his forelegs and knees, shoulders and thighs with weak liniment. A tired horse needs extra elbow grease and extra care for some time after he is stabled. He is susceptible at such times to a reâ€" actionâ€"a chill or cold sweat. A cold ear is the danger signal. When you get that signal he must be rubbed again, or given an extra blanket, or both. And then the foot! The Arabs,, great horse lovers, have a short pro-‘ verb in which is packed a volume of | truth: "No hoof, no horse." Thel shiniest of coats is no good unless| there is a sound foot under it. Groomâ€" ing is not completeâ€"in fact, it is a failureâ€"unless it includes a careful examination of that most important member. _ Look. for loose or worn shoes. Look for pebbles wedged beâ€" tween hoof and shoe. Look for pebbles or nails in the frog. Look for cracks in the hoof and scratches around the fetlocks. Look at the general condiâ€" tion of the hoof. It needs moisture, and should be washed frequently, inâ€" side and out. In hot weather, never lose a chance of putting your horse through a puddle or shallow stream. Much lameness is caused by pounding mile after mile on hard, dry roads. | Protection of Cabbage and | Cauliflower. _ It pays to protect cabbage and cauliflower from root maggot. Exâ€" periments at Cap Rouge, Que., Exâ€" perimental Station for several years have shown that bichloride of merâ€" cury is effective, but as it is very poisonous great care must be taken \in using it. Further, it should be _carried in wooden or earthen vessels as it will eat through metal, An ‘ ounce should be dissolved in ten galâ€" \lons of water or for small quantities an ordinary tablet per pint. Half a eup should be applied around each plant three or four days after they are set in the field and one or two !more applications made at intervals â€"of about a week. The importance of this care is obâ€" vious. Whether he is used for huntâ€" ing or plowing, the horse is a useful anima.l. _ You may neglect your household pet and suffer only in the esteem of your friends. But when you neglect your horse, you touch your pocketbook. more than twenty entomologists studying this insect. Cauliflowers in particular also need protection from the weather. As a result of seven years‘ tests, the supâ€" erintendent at Cap Rouge in his reâ€" port for 1925 says "There did not seem to be much difference in the perâ€" centage of marketable plants from any of the protected lotsâ€"with leaves broken over the head, leaves tied over the head with twine, and leaves held over the head with toothâ€" picks, but as the first mentioned method is the easiest and cheapest it is recommended." Farm manure is the most beneficial and the most generally used fertilizer for sandy soils. In a bulletin of the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture on Crop Rotations and Soil Management in Eastern Canada it is stated that in the absence of a supply of manure a good fertilizer for corn, roots, or poâ€" tatoes on sandy soil is a mixture of 75 pounds of nitrate of soda, 250 pounds of superphosphate and 75 pounds of muriate of potash per acre broadcast on the land just before planting. % i C the absence of a supply of manure a Like many other flowers, peonies good fertilizer for corm, roots, or poâ€" are oftem spoilt by too much attenâ€" tatoes on sandy soil is a mixture of tion.

FOR THE TIRED HORSE. In the choice of a convention centre there are many questions to be conâ€" sidered. The accommodations for the lodging of the delegates are of great importance, but also there are the facâ€" tors of entertainment to be considered it the convention is to be successtull from every angle. In choosing the place for the 1927 convention of the! Canadian Weekly Newspapers"Assoclaal tion, which brings together the pub-'l lishers of weekly newspapers in every | section of Canada, the executive of the association considered all angles of| the matter before deciding that this| year‘s convention would be held at. Bigwin Inn, in the Lake of Bays disâ€" trict of the Highlands of Ontario. Here, not only will the delegates be provided with splendid hotel acâ€" commodation for themselves and their wives, but they will also find splendid facilities in the way of convention hall and committee rooms for transacting CONSERVING MOISTURE. For the man who has not a conâ€" venient hose at his disposal, or for one who cannot hoe his garden two or three times a week, the mulching sysâ€" tem has many advantages. After growth has been well started, loose straw or leaves is placed between the row and if possible between the indiâ€" vidual plants. This is put down in a layer two or three inches deep. The mulch will not only conserve suffiâ€" ‘cient moisture to keep the plants growing but it will keep down weeds as well. Of course the plants must be thinned before the mulch is apâ€" lplied. Like all good things, however, it has some disadvantages. If the weather is cool the sun is prevented from penetrating the warming up the soil in which case the usual supâ€" ply of nitrogen is not released. One can make up for this by applying, ‘nitrate of soda at the rate of a scant, ounce to the square yard. j ‘ CONTROLLING CUT WoORMS. | Cut worms will soon be getting in their evil work with newly set out flowers and vegetables. The followâ€" ing simple formula will save the garâ€" den from ruin: Mix bran or Paris green or white arsenic in the proâ€" portion of 25 pounds bran to one pound poison. Mix one or two quarts or cheap molasses in two gallons of water and pour the liquid over the poisoned bran. Mix thoroughly until the bait falls like sawdust through the fingers. One pint of liquid arsenic |\of soda may be substituted for the \powdered poisons, and removes all \ danger to the person from poisonous | dust. If the cutworms are known to be in the garden or field before plantâ€" ing, cultivate thoroughly to bring them to the surface and break up \their resting places near the surface ‘of the soil. A few days before plantâ€" | ing sprinkle the ground with the poison mixture and after planting, if \the pests are still numerous, put a ‘pinch of the poison beside each plant. i KILLING CABBAGE MAGGOTS. ! _ Each year thousand of cabbages, asters and other plants are destroyed by the cabbage maggot. This pest is l a sort of plant louse which feeds on \the tiny rootlets of the newly set out !plant. Dipping the plants in a soluâ€" |tion of corrosive sublimate, one ounce | to 12 gallons of water, will prevent . depredations. The chemical is a deadâ€" , ly poison and as it will eat into metal it must be mixed up in a wooden or crockery container. HANDLING PEONIESâ€"USEFUL ANNUALS. No annual bed is complete without a few zinnias. These are a most conâ€" venient flower. They may be plantâ€" ed any time from early spring until well on in June with every chance of a fine display of bloom. They may be secured in a great variety of shapes and colors, running from yelâ€" low to red and from tiny buttons to great balls of fire, rivalling the chrysâ€" Press Convention at Bigwin Inn THE ONTARIO GARDEN ie rgs ow their business. From the entortainment side of the question, Bigwin Inn, loâ€" cated on the shore of Lake of Bays, offers to visitors every variety of land and water sports. Located in a beauttâ€" ful region of lake and forest, it is an ideal holiday centre and one which is growing in popularity with each seaâ€" son. Every form of aquatic sport such as boating, bathing and fishing may be enjoyed, and in addition there is golf, tennis, bowling and other purâ€" sulits for those who seek these forms of diversion. Bigwin Inn is one of the charming summer hotels of Eastern Canada and is conveniently located near Huntsâ€" ville, on the Torontoâ€"North Bay line of the National System. From Huntsville the visitor is taken by wellâ€"appointed steamboat to the Inn, and special sleeping cars operate to and from Huntsville for the convenience of visitors. Another old standâ€"by is the nasâ€" l turtium. This annual may be grown| almost anywhere, but does best in raâ€"| ther poor soil. It will grow very quickly and on this account is parâ€" ticularly in demand for screening fences and making a show in a winâ€" dow box. For the front of the winâ€" dow box or for covering fences use the trailing sorts, the dwarf type beâ€" ing used for rooke{ies, and open beds. \Black plant lice will sometimes clusâ€" ter under the nasturtium â€" leaves. These will do little harm but they are unsightly. Hosing with cold water under fair pressure will usually wash these insects away. f DAHLIAS. _ As a general rule Dahlias should not be planted much before the first | week in May and may be continued | up to the first of June. Of course in Southern Ontario one may stick the tubers in earlier, but as this is a fall flowering plant there is little to be gained by too early planting. The best soil is a sandy, well drained loam, and it must be deeply cultivated and generously fertilized. As this plant will grow to a height of five feet or more it is necessary to supply stout, tall stakes and these should be placed at the same time as the bulbs, otherwise some damage may result when driving them in beside the tubers. The tubers should be placed on their sides in holes from four inches deep in heavy clay to six inches{ in lighter soil. Use a little nitrate of soda to get the plants started, then! mulch well, water occasionally, and if large flowers are wanted nip off threeâ€"quarters of the buds. , CONTINUOUS CROPS. _ _A second and third sowing of vegeâ€" _ tables may be made with most vegeâ€" tables. Lettuce, spinach, beets, onâ€" ijons, carrots and radishes can go in at intervals of two weeks right up to the first of July, while peas and beans | can usually be planted so that one , crop will follow another. This double , cropping is an intensive business and . means much cultivation and forcing . with quickly available fertilizer such . as nitrate of soda. anthemum. They must have lots of room, and are better transplanted once or tviice before being moved to their permanent position. Crops suitable for sandy soils, acâ€" cording to a Dominion Dept. of Agriâ€" culture Bulletin on Crop Rotations and Soil Management in Eastern Canada, are potatoes, turnips, field beans, rye, oats, vetches, red clover, sweet clover, and alfalfa. Where the sand is too poor for ordinary crops the growth of native grasses might be encouraged by light dressings of manure in order to prevent drifting. Alfal{a, red clover and sweet clover are always desirable crops for sandy soils if a good stand is obtainable. If the soil is acid liming may be necesâ€" sary in the case of alfalfa.

"Very well," said Mr. Peregrine, "let them build. They will help to keep the insects out of the garden." So young Mr. Peeâ€"wee and his pretty mate, Phoebe, having thoroughâ€" ly inspected the premises, concluded that the Peregrine‘s portico was just the place for their nest. "For,‘ said Mr. Peeâ€"wee, "I have watched for some time, and have not seen a boy about the place." _ _ "Nor a cat," said Mrs, Peeâ€"Wee. "Cats are nearly as bad as boys." . And so the young coupleâ€"or pair, as we should call themâ€"built their first nest and went to housekeeping. It was not long t.ll Mrs. Phoebe went to sitting on five of the most beautiful little white eggs she had ever seen in her life, and Mr. Peeâ€" wee brought her meals to her from the garden, which was near at hand. Sometimes he brought her a spider or cutâ€"worm for dessert, after which he would perch on a bough of the big plumâ€"tree near the window, and sing "Phoebe" for half an hour at a time. But one day when Mr. Peeâ€"wee came from the garden, he found Phoebe in a state of great excitement. "I can‘t think what can be the matâ€" ter with the Peregrines," she said. "There is such a commotion in the house, and Mr. Peregrine has just driven off in the light wagon with his Sunday clothes on. Do, please, take a good peep into the kitchen, and see if you can tell what it means." Mr. Peeâ€"wee had been very busy all the morning picking insects off a row of blackâ€"eyed peas, but he very goodâ€" naturedly perched on a tree near the kitchen window, which was open, and peeped in to see what could be the matter.
