Anything in reason, therefore, which can be done to rw the yield above {he average or the cost. of production figure. is decidedly Worth while, as it gives larger returns for practically the same outlay of money.

Tilers are minor advantages. mo, that are worth taking into account. 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.

the position began to alter. and at the present time only the London School of Medicine for Women and University College Hospital liiedlcnl School admit‘ women students for clinical. instruction.

"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." '

Tne committee expresses the view that there should be three types of clinical education: (l) for men only’. (2) for women only; Ind (3) 1°‘ men and worn-an.

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.

New-born pigs soon die if chilled or, if they live. do not thrive. 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.
