When manure can be bauled to the field daily as it is produced the loss f plant food Is re--' duced to a minimum r to practically nothing; provided the liquid portion is saved through absorption by bedding or otherwise; This cannot always be "done, of course; However, an effort can be made to get the bulk cf the 'manure hauled early in the spring. ' On many farms manure can be hauled dally during the winter season, especially when the land is not too rolling and subject to erosion. One cannot outline any general procedure, but the 'subject cf manure conservation is of enough Importance for each farm to give It bis closest attention and do the 'best he can und his own conditions.

The cultivated black currant Is so extremely susceptible to the disease that It Is a dfstinet menace to the white-pin- e timber supply. It Is responsi bl for establishing the hllst rust in white-pin- e forests which would otherwise have remained free from the disease. As a warning off this threat to a very Important forest tree; the Dominion department cf agriculture has issued a circular cn the white pine blist rust fn which the disease and Its effects are described and control measures proposed. On white pin the disease first of all ages and, unless controlled, prevents the growing of these trees fa areas where currants and gooseberries are abundant.
