for this judgment. He says:
"L a s t

back which troubled me very mneh.
In the morning I could hardly straight

In growing tomatoes nitrogen In the

foods-, and tbe best' results "wUDcome
from phosphoric arid and potash liber
ally applied broadcast. Much has been
written regarding tbe use o f nitrate of
soda for tomato growing and while
this chemical Is good, it should be
used with caution. Its function Is to
cause the plant to make a quick
growth; in other words give it a
start which w ill be kept up by the
phosphoric ad d and tho potash.
This being the case tbe best w ay to
use it Is to watch the plants closely
as they grow and I f any shows lack

nitrate of soda about the plant. Us
ually one application will be sufficient
to start such plants off in good shape
and once they get a good start there
w ill be no trouble if the soli has been

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit In feeding lambs.
Peas alone make tbe moat gain, but
at a somewhat greater cost o f feed.
Corn and peas made a slightly smal
ler gain than tbe other feeds. But
the difference was so small that the
convenience of procuring the feed Is
the largest element in the esse. As
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give It a preference
in this regard.

to prosper who habitually worked on
Sunday. Some men w ill spend a day

then they w ill feel that they are so

on Sdnday to catch up. The man who

Farm Notes.
Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain as
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
With shelter for stock, light Is as
essential as air and warmth.
Sweet food for hogs is bettor than
that which Is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunlngs from the
garden and orchard should be burned.
A falling appetite is generally the
first Indication of an animal being
out o f condition.
Coal ashes, as well as wood ashes,
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils.
Conveniences for watering and feed
ing stock are items in saving time,
labor and feed on the farm.
* if -
Corn and oats, half o f each, ground
together, make one of the best kinds
o f feed for cows in milk.
The best way to get rid o f the cur
rant worm is to dost tbe leaves with
white hellebore.
In nearly all cases, the best animals
are tbe offspring of mature parents on
both sides.
Be ready to cat clover when the
largest number of plants are In bloom
and are turning brown.
It should be the aim of every breed
er o f horses to raise well-bred and
well-treTrifed animals.
In the management of clover for hay
It Is Important not to cure too dry, and
to store under shelter.
On many farms, exposure to the
weather injures farm machinery fully

The offspring of Immature, undevel
