The feeder should be constantly in touch with the market. and if it hits a high spot. and his cattle are fit in make the top price, that is always a good time to sell. If he has feed left he can put in another- bunch that will. because of their thirmer condition. put on more weight for the feed than than that are practically flushed.

The length of time you feed a bunch of cattle will depend upon how and what you are going to feed them. If you have a large sup- ply of ensilage or hay that you

want to feed to beef cattle. it may be advisable to feed them cheaply with a small allowance of concen- trates and then finish them on the Q1‘!!!-

It is usually contended that the short fed steers show the best pro- fits for the feed consumed. but you will have to be guided by what

feed you have for Winter. and whethnr or not you have grass for them in the spi-‘ng. Srme farmem buy steers only in the Autumn and

run them on the gross the follow- ing June. This might mean keeping these cattle for mven or eight months.

Itisagood plan toget your feeders before November, ls if left later they may lose flesh if storms come early and their owner is not in a position to feed them. This is particularly true of the younger cattle. They should not be allowed to lose the flesh they have put on in the Summer, ea it will cost sub- stentiallynsoreioputitbackon them again. cattle should be in the feed lot. and on a fair ration. be-

spread occurrence and is the ‘ principal cause of pstchiness in plantations. and of failure of plants to become established. The disease is first recognized in the field by a stunted and dwarfed growth, and later by the wilting. drying up, and death of affected plants. The lat- ter effect is most noticeable when the fruli; is about to mature, as it is at this time that the greatest demand on the root system is made. when the roots of diseased plants are examined they will be found to be lacking in fibre, and brown lo black disooloured lesions may be

readily discerned when the roots are washed free of soil. Studies which have been con-

ducted at the Dominion Laboratory‘ of Plant Pathology, St. Cathnrines. Ontario, show that this disease may be caused by the attacks of a number of fimgi. Environmental flwtors such as type. temperature. and moisture of the soil have an influence on the fungi found to be involved. The problem is thus com- plex and as ye; it has not been possible to definitely ascribe the cause of the disease to any partl- cular fungus

The grower is at present depend-

ent for control root-rot on careful selection of plants and frequent ‘ " of crops. In

setting out new plantings, discard all plants showing evidence oi.’ blackened lesions on the roots. This requires careful examination. as evidence of the disease is not readilyobserved unles the roots are washed free from soil. Selecting only vigorous runner plants and planting only those with white roots is essential in ensuring a healthy stand. Ilrequent rotation of crops is another important mea- sure. Whereever possible avoid planting strawberries in soil which has produced the disease in previ- ous crops. In this connection a four or five year rotation is desir- able. ‘

Let The Children Have Their Own Home Garden

The dangers to which children ‘are exposed when plowing on the street an known to every anxious parent. If a portion of the home grounds is set aside for a children's playground and garden ,and developed and planted with their needs and childish fancies in mind- the youngsters will need l1tt\ wuv m ‘ to stay at home.

Let ghem grow their own garden. It need not take up much space.

and it will prove an excellent in- centive to eat the proper foods. having grown them themselves. The growing and stulw of flowers,

as you know, is a delightful and i

enlightening aivocatlon. Why not treat the children to an early dose of the culture and iefinemmt of gardening which other influences

might overshadow in later life.
