Borne away from sin and sorrow, To a better home above. Gone from us, but leaving memories Death can never take away; Memories that will always linger, While upon this earth we stay. Sadly missed by her Loved Ones ALFALFA A VALUABLE CROP Apple growers have found that in order to get sufficient color and maturity for the fruit, it is necessary to keep the orchard in sod, breaking up only at intervals of five or six years. And for this purpose the best crop to use is alfalfa, according to W. B. Somerset, chairman of the On- tario Marketing Board, and a prac- tical grower in the Burlington dis- trict. Alfalfa, being perennial in nature, remains in the ground year after year Its roots penetrate the soil much deep- er than those of the apple tree and, therefore, do not consume much of the moisture supply available to the tree. Furthermore, the roots open up the soil, make it porous, thereby allowing the air to penetrate the soil, which in turn stimulates bacterial ac- tion. This plant is capable of taking nit- rogen from the air and storing it !n the roots of nitrates. All good or- chardists apply nitrate fertilizers early in the spring, to promote rapid gK>wth, and to simulate blossoming. A crop of alfalfa is an extremely cheap source of nitrate supply. Alf- al'fa, being the heaviest yielder of all legume and grass crops, may he cut twice a year. The cuttings, which are allowed to remain under the trees, make an excellent mulch, which con- serves moisture and keeps weeds down.

EUGENIA MAXWELL PROTON STATION A GRAND SLAM It remained for Fordwich, a little village near Harriston, to put her namt on the map. A young woman of tht neighborhood, for some real or im- aginary reason, slapped a farmer's face in a hardware store there on New Year's eve. The latter entered an ac- tion for assault, and the case was tried at Fordwich two weeks ago when the young woman was fhied $10.00 and ccots and bound over to the peace for twelve months on a $200.00 bond. Fordwich was filled to the neck the day of the trial. Reporters and camera men from the leading dailies in On- tario were there, as well as over 500 from the surrounding country. This may be a bad precedent, as others oi the female element who want somt notoriety may go into the punching businerj, and there is no telling who the poor victim may be.

They have absorbed profitable infor- mation for everyone. The way to find values offered by the merchants is to read the adver- tisements. Helpful hints for every family can be found in the advertisements. There is no easier way to save mon- ey than by reading the advertisements and buying where the best buys arc Quality merchandise, fair prices ana good advertising make a growing business. A whole lot of pessimists in busi- ness are "riding for a fall." It takes optimism to succeed. Ambitious stores advertise. Honesty, originality and persistency in advertising make a paying bu-siness. You always know what you have to pay when you buy advertised goods. One of the ways to cut down the cost of living is to buy from the mer- chants who advertise. They sell the best for less.
