A strcng growing crop, one thar, we would expect from a field where extra fertilizer was used, crowds out The quality is usually better, too on this account, and also due to the fact that the kernels or berries will be larger. There is a great deal more satisfaction in handling s. larger and even crop than. one injured and uneven. and finally the lmreased volumqof business allows one to do things on a larger scale- Great Publicity needed. It will, of course take s great deal or, experimental and publicity work to swing the Wat over 1o the idea of using commercial fertilizers, and at present there would be little Justification in so doing. However, the experimental work with commercial fertilizers -now proposed should be well worth while, and if it is shown that the chenllst can aid the plant breeder in his fight against fungus enemies, the rest will be comparatively easy. farmers in 0- ~ \ 1W. othelqfields of study, the services of schools of the hlghsat prestige and teachers of the highest distinction ‘should be available to men and women indlfiel-ently." mlttze of the Senate of the Univer- sity of London, which was appointed lust March to consider the limita- tions placed upon tile medical educa- tion of women undergraduates‘. ~ a proved" the report, and has request- An ass welsh: say. two ‘cums!- ed the Vice-Chancellor those medical schools which do not permit students to consider cf admitting a quota. . ltiiss at medical schools appear io be choice, prefer to go to schools which do not admit women, and that the sweetener. feeling is strongest among its: men, and in some cases the parents of m hlinurlrs Llnllnsnt prevents Flu. thg men who, on general ground}, would be most dzsirable. deplored, but we have no doubt as to its existence, and since the medl- cal schools are dependent‘ to a very considerable extrzlt on the incomes derived from students’ fez-s, it is only natural that the authorities oi schools should be canoarnid weather conditions. success. he sold, was to keep a “com- plete and continuous film of protec- tirn" on the twigs and leaves, and this can be done by spraying as dir- ctsd on the spray calendar.» m.

"Taking all things into considera- tiorl," the report rays, “we are of opinion that the provision of a hun- dred clinical places for women. apart from those available at the Imndon School of Medicine for Women, would be ample _for the next rew years."

This involves the maintenance as men's schools of certain exlstinz schools, the maintenance of at least one womeus school, such as the London School for Medicine, and the provision of facilities for co-educs- lion.

The same rule should be practised with beets, carrots. corn, tomatoes. and melons. When this is done, the main crop, of both flowers and vege- tables, will come on in August. If one is not taking holidays until Aug- ust. however, it is well to get some flowers and vegetables in as early as possible, and the balance in very late, so that there will be a show before going away and a second one after arrival home. - In any case, it is well before leaving the garden for a few weeks in the summer to cut everything well 1 buck. particularly buds and flowers, to. mulch well with grass clippings or straw to conserve the moisture when it is not possible to have a neighbour tum his hose over the fence once in a while, so that top growth will be checked while one is absent.

Con- sequently. ' heavy mortality among young pigs ls common in the winter. It is not always possible in have the sow farrow in a warm cow stable. J. E. Brethour, the well-known pig breeder, of Burford, Ont, tried u col- ony house with a brooder stove and hover. The pen is divided so that the sow cannot get near the stove, but the Pigs soon find the opening leading to the heat. Except when feeding, they lie stretched, out around the stove. The brooder stove is the same as used for brooding chicks. The adoption of this system will greatly decrease mortality among winter litters. The use of portable colony houses for farrowlng pens ls strongly recommended as a means of giving the pigs a start away from parasite-infested ground or pens. _.__._.____.__ LOWER NEWTON SCHOOL The following is the standing of the pupils of Lower Newton School for the month of February: Grade IX.—1, Sara Gillie; 2, Rita McTavish; 3, Marlon qlllis; 4, Louis Griffen.
