"Nswssz FARM NOTES ' By Agricola

mummy wsarnen l The magazines are publishing star maps for June, and I note what I; consider a ‘menacing feature in ‘I thenuThe- planets Neeptunc and; Mars are near each other, perhaps, only nine degrees apart. Furthermore 1 they are in the neighborhood's! sev- eral stars of. the first magnitude. There will thus be an exceptional gravitational force exerted from a; very small area in the heavens. Ous sun, being a fluid mass of bumlng . gases, is peculiarly sensitive to ‘these gravitational pulls. and in its ex- citement pour forth streams of ultra- y violet rays, which, according to Dr. . 139L111? lonlze our atmosphere, and produce rain in the coastal districts. This in my opinion, is the cause of so much downfall, and is likely to cause more. It is interesting to remember that scientists . all over the Northern Hemsphers predicted in 1926 that we should no‘. have really good weather till 1930. 1

THE BLOW-FLY.

This big blue fly, wcli known as a.‘

j troublesome visitor to the larder, ls be-

coming s. serious pest to sheep in Australia and New Zeaiand 11nd has latterly engaged the attention of sheep ranchers in British Columbia. The adult fly lays its eggs in the wounds of these animals, or lnthe soiled *wool on their hind-quarters, and when the grubs hatch out they in- vde first the unhealthy tissue or the soiled wool, and then the healthy flesh; and if the animal is not at- tended to. it loses condition and may die. The 01d remedies of cleanliness and pine tar oil are indicated.

VITAMINS AND OUR DAILY DIET

The articles of our, daily diet are d of carbohydrates, fats pro- tcins, salts and vltamlnsk and our 11031111 depends very largely upon

‘these food constituents being present I; rln correct proportions. writes Sir W. lArbut-hnot Lane, Bart. B. 0., lrr the ‘Dally Mall.

Each on: of the first four plays a part in the nourishing of ‘the body; each one is csscniinl. yet an excess of any one will lead to a throwing out of balance of our digestive func- lions. y

.To the fifth of these factors, the vixamlns. the existence of which was uudctected until the first decade of this cmtury-is assigned another ilznctiolu-nclzlrlj; that of keeping our sysiculs frsc from various diseases.

Though unproductive of energy, vltdfllllLi are indtspcnsable for the growth and hcahh of all animals. A shortage cf vLamln A and D leads to lowered resistance to infections, decayed teeth, and rickets, -

These vitamins are present in cod liver oil. the richest known source. the liver of other fish, birds and mammals. fish roe and egg yolks, bitter, and to a lesser degree in milk, cheese, the fats of fish and mammals

and in heart and kidney.

Vitamin A alone is present in green vegetables, carrots and tomatoes, while vitamin D can be artificially prepared by exposing a substance,

or m“ M“ in u“ Nae" when “Horgasterol to the ultra-violet rays.

Vitamin A ls also the growth pro- ‘vnxoiing factor, and it ls therefore 0i rrscial importance to the dict of chil- dren, Its primary source. both in the liver oil of fish and in milk and but- tor, originates from green vegetable Imatter.

l In tile later case it has been found Qtiiat cattle in summer when fed upon lgrecn grass, produce milk which has "a much higher vitamin content than the milk of the some cows during "winter, when the cattle are stall-fed. , In the case of the fish it ls due to like consumption of green algae, mi- croscopic floating plants, which form the diet of tiny marine creatures. These are eaten by small fish, which ,in theirturn form the food of larger ifish such as cod.

Vitamin B or Bl ls the preventive agent of a disease known as bert- bcrl. which is characterised by severe nervous and heart symptons and by digestive troubles.

Vitamin B is to be found in whole-

meal, flour, whole barley, whole or half peeled rlceootmcal, rye. nuts, ‘eggs, liver. milk, peas. beans, lentils. and yeast. It is absent in refined foods. such as white flour and polish- >d rice, in canned meats and fish, lend in such white grains u sago and tapioca. l As in the case of Vitamin a, v1:- lamln B lmrequired by growing child- ‘ren in larger quantities than by adults.

These points indicate that the re- fined foods of today. by reason of their deficiency in this respect are of very real danger to us unless the deficiency is made up by adequate 5:11:11.

AQJTTLE LESSON

One thing we must remcruberlntbe garden is that plants are living things. They are notmachlnes. if

we will get into trouble. - ' Plants need water. lust ss gasoline‘ engines need oil. But lf we give In

engine more gas, it will run longer. But if we give a plant more ws er than it needs, it will die. There are 1 many people who fail with plants for no other reason than that they for- . get about them being living things,’ and treat them more like machines.

You must water plants when they are. thirsty and give them plenty to; drink at, that time. 'l'.‘hey will always‘ be thirsty when it has not rained 10:1 a week; or when the weather Ls very hot and the soil ls dry for csvcz-a inches down, :

Plants are sometimes attacked by

insects; and they need protection , from them. There are powders which ‘ can be dusted on them; and liquids which can be sprayed on them, which will keep the insects on, and kill those which have begun to eat the plants. Some of these things are Doi- sonous to you, and some are not. All should be handled with great care. Never touch them without asking permission from your mother or father, and being shown Just" how they are to be used. Of course plants must be fed. and while there is food in the“ soil which they take up through their roots, they will always do better if given extra amounts of certain foods especially when they are young. 'I‘hese extra. foods are called fertilizers; and they are well worth using. One called ni- trogen makes the plants grow fast‘, one called phosphorous makes them grow tell with large and long stems; and one called potash helps inske the flowers brilliant, and the fruits large.

The safest way to apply these fer- tilizers Ls in the form of mixture of all three, in s form which will dis- solve easily in water.

ly all cases is the pellagra-prevent- in; Vitamin B-B or S2 as it is called by the Medical Research Council, to indicate its close affinity with B or B1. Pellagra isa common disease in certain districts in Italy ln Roumsn la, and in the Southern part of the United States. where the populace live on poor diet containing practic- ally no flesh diets, milk or cheese. Large numbers of people in these districts have succumbed to these disease, symptons of which include digestive trouble, peculiar skin erup- tions, and mental aberration, gener- ally ending in dementia, or mental enfeeblement.

A little over ten years sgo the disease was rampant in the southern States of U. S. A., but betier educ- atlon habits of dieting brought about a very considerable reduction in the number of cases.

1n i927, however. the number was about twice that of i924. due tn the floods of the liilsslsslppl bssln, with the consequent economic depr ‘ . zvblch reduced large numbers of peo- ple to a miserable diet of maize. fat pork and molasses.

Fruits and Vegetables

Centuries before scientists discov- ered the existence of vitaml , the need for fresh fruit and veg tables ms realized if that very common: disease of those days, scurvy. was to be prevented.

Scurvy, though commonly thought to be a skin disease, attacks the whole systemUnless the disease ls checked a fatal issue is the usual sequel. .

Scurvy was eliminated from the British Navy in i785 by the issue of 1oz of lemon Juice per man per day. This followed the research work of Lind, which had been practlcaly ap- I piled by Captain Cook on his voyages, who, by this means, successfully kept his crews free from the disease.

Lind also found out that dried veg- etables were useless as antl-seorbut- ics, a fact which has been ignored on many occasions since then.

Though raw vegetables and raw fruits are rich in Vitamin 0. when they are cooked for a considerable period they lose lheir vitamin content entirely.

The cooking, even for a short while, of vegetables with blcarbonato 0f soda as ls frequently done to pre- serve their colour, also has this ef- feet.

The best. way to prepare vegetables is by boiling for a short time; stew- lng and cooking by the hay-box method are the least desirable meth- ods. ‘ | in these days the only inhabitants >cf Western Europe who stand in ‘danger of scurvy are bottle-fed in- lfants, and, as a preventive, it. is ad- lvlssbie to give every bottle fed child
