Kruachen Salts has been very beneficial, both as a laxative and in keeping the men free from staleness. Each morning I see that every man under me takes a small amount of Kruschen Salts to assist the liver and kidneys. I have used Kruschen with all types of athletes, and also exten- sively among my private patients, for cases of loss of vitality, rheumatism and neuritis." â€" J.J.J. (Certified Mas- seur). The "little daily dose" of Kruschen Salts helps to keep the internal or- gans functioning regularly in their daily duties. Liver, kidneys and bow- els are stimulated to healthy, vigor- ous activity, thus assisting them to eliminate waste products and poisons that endanger the health.

[ . 70 ytfth Aye., New York City { In Your Garden By GORDON L SMITH Article No. 14 The more tender sorts of vegetables are beans, tomato plants, squash, cu- cumbers and melons. They will not start to gi'ow until the weather and soil really become warm. All garden tomatoes should be staked, using either wooden or steel stakes about six feet high. Trim oft all side shoots as they develop, training the main stem up along the stake and tieing loosely about every foot. Like Rich Soil All these warm weather vegetables prefer rich, open soil and any mem- bers of the melon family; that is, squash, cucumber, citron, etc., take special delight in hot, sandy soil, though it must be made rich with well-rotted manure or good garden fertilizer. Conserve Moisture Dry weather will seldom aUect a constantly cultivated garden. Stirring of the top soil prevents evaporation of moisture and it also keeps down those robbers of plant food and water- weMs. Especially during the early part of the season is cultivation neces- sary and more particularly after each shower. Late Planted Flowers Even in the more northerly sections of Canada it will soon be time to plant those rather tender flowers such as dahlias, gladioli and cammas. None of these, with the possible exception of gladioli, will stand any frost, but because all are bulbs or corms and are planted several Inches deep, a light frost after they are set out but before the shoots appear, will not do any damage. Rules are simple: fairly rich, but loose garden soil is preferred by all three, though good results from dahlias can be obtained in almost any kind of soil. The bulbs or corms should be planted from about four to six inches deep for gladioli to twice this much for the larger dahlias and cannas. All prefer an open position, though with these as well as all flow- ers of vivid coloring, a position which is slightly shaded around noon is pre- ferrable to protect the blooms from being bleached out by the hot sun. These flowers will benefit from a thorough soaking during the hot, dry weather. A Tear-Down Week The Cornwall Standard-Freeholder writes: â€" With the multiplicity of "weeks" already on the calendar we are rather hesitant about suggesting another; but a suggestion comes from Port Arthur Xews-Chronicle that is, at least, worth more than passing consideration. It is a "Tear- down Week." The idea is to get rid of a lot of unsightly, worn-out, useless build- ings and other blots on the land- scape. Cornwall has its share of these excrescences; some mercifully hid- den from the sight of me passerby, others frankly exposed to the public gaze. Old buildings â€" barns, houses that are just hanging together, sup- erannuated chicken-houses, dilapi- dated woodsheds â€" not to mention some fences that are neither useful nor ornamental. We need not speci- fy, everyone knows a few candidates for attention in a Tear-down Week in his own neighborhood. Proper Care of The Herd Sire Some Common Practises That Are Serious Mistakes It is found on most farms that an open shed with adjoining yard or small pasture where he may ex- ercise is the most satisfactory way of housing the herd sire. Success- ful breeders state that under no cir- cuMstances should he be allowed to run loose with the cow herd in the pasture. Such carelessness will ex- haust the vitality of the sire and may cause him to become an uncertain breeder. No record of breeding dates can be kept, and the practice really is dangerous to the owner and to the chance passerby. One frequently sees a bull con- fined in a dark, ding:y stall. This Is a serious mistake. If he is not to become impotent and vicious, the bull must have plenty of exert'ise and fresh air. This may be obtained in a variety of ways. Many good breeders use a sweep or a light cable stretched the length of the yard. A chain attached to the bull is fastened to a ring that slides along the cable, so the bull can wa'k readily from end to end of the suspended wire. These are only a few ways of exercising the herd sire. It matters little how he gets it; the essential thing is that he gets it. When we realize that no bull is gentle enough to be trusted, and regulate our methods of handling them accordingly, many unfortunate aicidents will be prevented. There are only two good ways to handle a bull. Either he should be led on a regulation bull staff that can be at- tached to the ring in his nose, or he should be kept in a specially con- structed pen so that he can be fed and watered without anyone enter- ing the pen. Bulls fed and handled along the lines suggested should retain their potency until 12 or 13 years old. In other words, they may be used some eight years after records are avail- able showing their ability as dairy sires. Good dairymen agree in con- demning the practice of discarding a bull before there is opportunity to compare his daughters with their dams. Choosing a Wife The "precious" metals are gold, platinum and silver; mercury, also, sometimes is so classified. "The' old society of patricians and plebians in which I grew up is gone." â€" Thomas Mann. On Saturday afternoon the Editor was in conversation with a local young unmarried man and in tlie course of same the (juestion of mar- riage arose. The young man seemed to be badly bitten by the matrimonial bug. He longed to be married but claimed he could not afford it. We encouraged him by stating that if every .Tian waited until he could af- ford to join the benedicts there would be a great decline in mar- riages. His countenance immediate- ly brightened up. We could not re- sist asking him what he considered was an ideal wife. "Let me see," he said, cjuite seriously and after a few moments' thought, continued with "Well, every man's idea should be to marry a good cook, a witty com- panion, a skilful houseiieeper and a devoted mother." Not bad for a young man â€" (wonder where he read that). Perhaps some husbands would have disillusioned him by stating t!ia'. polygamy was against the lav,-. Rhythm of Natiisre !n Eii^th Siatistics Probably Ur. Ellsworth Hunting- ton, Yale's distinguished autliority on the relation of civil1i.ation t.i cli- mate, never gave a thought to Mother's Day when ho wrote his pa- per on "Season of Birth" for pres- entation before the .American .Asso- ciation on Mental Deficiency which men in Atlantic City last week. Yet what he had to say is of interest to mothers. Little do they (or fathers- suspect that they re.spond to the rhy- thm of Nature â€" an iniisible clock which began ticking at its present rate during the last Ice Age. Why is it that birds are at a maximum in March? Why is it that most of the eminent have been born in February and March? Why is it that the malformed and feeble-m nd- ed show some tendency to be born in greater numbers during the very season when births in general are near the minimum? The questions have been i.'onsid- ered before. .A.t last year's meeting of the National Academy of Sciences, for example. Dr. William F. Peter- sen, of the University of Illinois' College of Medicine, presented statis- tical evidence to show that the off- spring of marria.ges that occur in the first half of the year are likely to be of the superior type, both men- tally and physically. He based his conclusions on a statistical study of 25,000 biographies in the Encyclo- pedia of .American Biojoaphy, Who's Who. Wer Ist's, .American Men of Science and on case histories of in- sane asylums. To him weather is the controlling factoi'. Substitute for weather the larger conception of cli- mate and you have Dr. Huntington's argument in essence. When our species appeared in the last glacial epoch it had to reckon with climate. In March the death ci Winter began to yield to the life of Spring. Leaves shot forth, eggs were laid, young birds chirpe:i in the trees, young quadrupeds scurried in the underbrush. -AH this meant food for mothers and their own newly born young. .As the days grew long- er and warmer the task of gathering food was lightened. When Winter came again the child had passed the most critical period. It had also withstood the dangers of hot weath- er. Or as Dr. Huntington puts it suc- cinctly: ".Among our primitive an- cestors birth earlier than March was apparently undesirable from the standpoint of food ; birth later than March undesirable from the stand- point of disease." Children conceiv- ed at the height of Nature's rhythm are more numerous than those con- ceived at other times; their sexes are mor«< equally divided ; they live linger than the unseasonably bom; they include among their number a larger ratio of great men and women. Crops Ahead of Last Year But Generous Rainfall Needed in West, Bureau of Statistics Re- ports â€" W?ieat Acreage High OTT.AWA, â€" The wheat season of 1937 is well ahead of last year In the Prairie Provinces, said a crop report Issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Seeding of wheat is practi- cally complete and coarse grains are going into the ground rapidly. Some delays have been caused on heavy lands in Eastern Manitoba, and in Southwestern Saskatchewan oper- ations have been help up by lack of moisture. In Manitoba and the cen- tral and northern areas of Saskatche- wan and Alberta, conditions are gen- erally favorable, with crops making good growth under the influence of good weather and ample moisture. In the southern sections of Saskat- chewan and Alberta, however, the lack of moisture is causing concern and crop deterioration will soon set in should rains be long delayed. In these areas soil-drifting has been widespread but in few cases is the damage beyond repair by prompt pre- cipitation. Little change in acreage is report- ed although shortage of seid oats and barley has resultej in some increase in wheat acreage. Throughout the southern part of the wheat bolt much will (iepcnd the report said, on the coming to wicie- sprnad and generous rainfall, now is needed to keep crops grov.in-^ in a sa- tisfactory manner. Graishoppers are fairly nimerous. but little damage has ye' bei'u done. Seeding is well ahead in .Manitoba, but has been retarded somewhat on tUe heavy lands in the eastern part t° the Province. Cood rains aImo::t everywhere have helped to build up rescrvi; moisture in the subsoil, and conditions nr? generally good. Some fr<"st liamarjr! has occurred, hut in no case has it been serious. Soild'ifting has done only slight damaso. The F?vo MsLis:C'3 To Our F©.rests Man's efforts are puny in P.ght- in;: v;ith the elements of fire and water when these assail tv.an's in- ;i:or>iiity in force. The latest fir,- ro- po; ted is from Alberta v,!;ere iLiniage to the extent of many thousands of dollars was cause I v.ithin a couple uf I'.ays. In Northern Ontario li-.eri; wns an- Dlher oullircak that seemed li'iely to rival so;ne of those that svcpt iht- n( rtiiern forest areas last suiiimor. Fortunately this was overcome v.hen rangers were rushed to the s-.ene of the conflagration in airplanes. The problem of all the provincial governments is to prevent fi'cs, and to this end rangers are employed to traverse the districts constantly, fol- lowing the paths of the woodsmen, th? hunters and otlier tour sts, who, despite the prevalence of naming signs, set out tires with absolute dis- regard for conseijuences. and leave the neighborhood without extin- guishing them. That is the carelessness that is c.i:iting the provinces many inillions of dollars annually. Eire rang ng un- ([Uestionably prevents great loss, but there ought to be some way of get- Inig the facts before the people, that betteV precautions must be taken in their own interests, as well as those of the country, if the forests are not to be wholly obliterated, or else per- .mits to traverse them denied alto- gether. Lurnber is becoming too scarce an article to be wasted. The supply is lessening annually, and un- less better methods of fire preven- tion are adopted it will not be many years before the whole of the tim- ber supply will be exhausted. Scarce- ly a timbered area in Canada has es- caped untouched. One big problem of governments nowadays is that of reforestation, but little has been done in this direction. Perhaps when fire has consumed the bulk of the merchantable timber and the pulp forests, they will realize the inijiortance of reforesting all cut over areas as speedily as possible. Some vainly imagine there are il- limitable supplies for all time, but official reports show that a real dan- ger exists that the sujjply will short- ly be a thing of the past. The great- est danger places are said to be along the lines of railways, and if this is the case, the railways may yet be compelled to share the cost of fire ranging, unless safety devices are installed on all engines to prevent the transmission of lire from the track allowances to the bush. For- est fires are considered largely pre- ventable, and all governments have a duty in this respect that cannot be ignored. The State of Florida has 3,761 miles of tidal coast line. Wheat Fields Of the World How large is the world's wheat field? The food research bureau of Stanford University gives some in- teresting statistics. The world has about 400,000,000 acres under wlieat. which is :il)out twice the acreage de- voted to maize or to rice, the grains that come next in importance. The world's wheat field occupies about 1 per cent of the total land in the world, about 6 per cent of the po- tential arable and pasture land, aliout 11 per cent of all land suitable for wlicat cultivation and about 17 per cent of the arable land now bt-ing utilized. While wheat is grown both nortli and south of the equator, about UO per cent of the world's wheat acr ape lies in I'lc norihorn hemisphere. Asia alono contains more than a third of the world's wlieut acrcago. liuroi >! is little less than a third. North America less th:in a quarter.

"The iii'xt two or three weeks will tell tile story." H. G. Crawford of llie Entomological Branch in tho Agriciil. turo Department said. ' Dry wiatbcr is favorable to their development. If •there are plentiful rains in Saskatchewan and .Vlberta. vegetation will get a head start on the insects. Also, in wet woalbor. the grasislioppors die of disease. ' The war against grasshoppers is carried out every year through co- operation of Dominion and Provin- cial Governments. Federal experts carry out surveys of infestation and the Provinces spend the money for poisoned mash set out in the fields. Througiiout the badly infested area of Saskatchewan and Alberta, Mr, Crawford said, poisoned mash lias been distributed to farmers and will be sown in the fields as the grasshop- pers hatch and crawl out of the ground where the e.ggs are laid. The mash is composed of bran, sawdust , n active poison. The Federal survey indicates more than 5;!,flOO.OOO acres are threatened with infestation. This is an increase ( i 9,500,000 acres from last year. H«avy rains in 1935 almost wiped grasshoppers out in Manitoba. Much control activit.v may not bo needed in that Province, although 4,51.0110 acres in the southwest corner will be affected. .Vctive control measures will be re- quired over large areas of the other two Prairie Provinces, however.

It is reported that fully 50,- 000 in an area of 7,500 square miles were in London, electrically speak- ing, though seated in far-away homes, and saw and heard some- thing of the magnificent outdoor ceremony â€" saw troops. Queen iMary, the Princcfses, even the King and Queen. Before that a Derby had been crudely televised for the bene- fit of a music hall's audience in London. But thi.'s televising of the coronation j)rocession was an event of historic importance in its own right. It was as importiint, tor ex- ample, as Morse's first inessage, "What hath GoJ wrought," or .Mar- coni's tran.smi.ssion across the -At- lantic of the signal that ^tood for the letter "S", or Bell'.s famous "Watson, (.'ome here," the first word? ever sent over a telepttone. What of tile next coronation ? Not only will the empire hear the pray- ers, the ant phonal e'lanting, the solemn vows of the King, but it will see in Westminster .-Vbbey the mov- ing splendor of an ancient rite. Elec- tric waves, millions of them a sec- ond, will tranpjiort Hindus. Xow Zea- landers. South -Africans. Car.ailians lo far-away London. What aie the roads of I'onio compared '.vitli this? Or the telegraph and the a rplane? Three hundre<l million iliscarnate personalities transplanted v.ith the velocity of light through space. It i.-i plain that an invention is in the course of development which is of in- ealculable social, political ar.ii econ- omic value lo the einpire. The dom- inions have achieved independence, but so long as they can hear ;;nd seo what is going on in London, they must feel a kinship with England that depends on something stronger than sentiment. Perhaps historians would do well to consider the part that electr cal communication has played in cementing together colon- ies and home country, and the even greater part that it is destined to play when the King's majesty be- comes a living presenca wherever the British flag flutters in the breeze. Grain Feeding In all grain feeding it must be kept in mind that the product being used s an expensive one and can un- der no circumstances be used in the feeding or finishing of low grade or indifferently bred animals. -Not only must the animals be of approved types, but experience has clearly shown that certain kinds of farm animals greatly excel others in their ability to util ze the feeds provided. Especially is this true in connection with the feeding of grains. Poultry would probably head the list in thi« re.gard, with the pig standing a close second in its ability to manufacture feed grains into meat economically. The dairy cow. because of her abil- ity to give off from her body im- mense quantities of milk during a long lactation i)criod, would rank third, follo\vc<l by beef cattle and sheep.
