At the recent session Of the farmers
institute the question, how to rid-lend
of white grubs." seemed to evoke ger
eral interest, and to fail OF a satisfac-
tory answer. Fall blowing was sug-
gested as an aid. salt was spoken Of,
but the opinion was that birds were
the most effective remedy. One speas-
er related an experience, and said a
large pine tree stood near piece Of
his land infested with the grubs and
he noticed a number Of black-birds
making regular trips from the tree to
the land. and on investigation discov-
cred that the birds we're after the
worms which had been turned up by
blowing He found seven birds nests
in one tree. He said he never allowed
a crow or a black-blrd TO be killed on
his premises, and considered them the
greatest benefactors the farmers have
in destroying the worm pest. This is
but repetition of an oft-told tale yet
one not sufficiently needed. What pos

birds no one can understand. and yet

A story Of juvenile presence Of mind
and courage REACHES me from MancheA
ter. Two little children, Arthur and
Daisy Lemaire, living at Chorlton-on-
Medlock, and aged respectively ten and
eight years, were playing together in
their nursery, when the little girls
freek caught fire.
Arthur Immediately caught hold of
her, and wrapped counterpane round
her, trying to extingnish the flames
with his hands; but the little girl,
mad with fear, tore herself away from
him and ran downstairs, setting fire to
the curtains in the nursery as
she brushed past them. Ar
thur rushed after her, dragged her
into the bedroom below, and throwing
her down on the hearthrug rolled her
round in 1t, and then sat upon her to
prevent her escaping from him second
time, says London Baby.
The mother ran up, hearing the noise,
but by the time she appeared upon the
scene the little boy had quite ex-
tinguished the flames; and after look
ing to see that all was safe, he said to
his mother, "You look after Daisy
while go and put out the fire in the
nursery"
This he succeeded in doing, and only
after all danger was over did he show
his mother how bis poor little hands
were burned with the flames and torn
by the struggle with the hearthrug. A
doctor was sent for in haste to attend
the two children, and ON arrival ex-
claimed: $50 hear You have been
saving your little sisters life, Arthur"
"0h, it was nothing" replied the
boy. Then laughing bravely in spite
of his pain, - added: 81 can't shake
hands with you doctor, but can shake

Gay soil must be we'll drained, is
mose difficult to prepare, natures later
crops and not so favorable for winter
projection. The ideal berry GROUND
would be- first, a rich loan with clay
subsol. Second, a dark loan or
gravelly loan mixed slightly with clay,
and clay subsoil, all having a south
erly or eastern exposure. Any of these
mixed soils, will make good berry gar
dens by applying good barn yard ma
nure, which contains all the essential
elements required. When such ma
nure cannot be obtained then CONNER
cial fertilizers rich in nitrogen and pot
ash should be applied. Avoid low fiat
land unless under drained, it is usually
cold, late and more subject to frosts.
Avoid steep hillsides as being more
subject to drouth and wash of soil by
severe rains. Very few farms are
without suitable soil and location for a
good berry garden and that farmer
who simply exists, year after year,
without good garden has not learned
the first principles of living.
