Notwithstanding the enormous quanti-
ties of roses sold in city markets, and the
fact that growers of roses cater almost
entirely to city trade, the fact remains that
nowhere is the rose so loved. admired and
appreciated as on the farm, says Amerl-
can Agriculturist. If it be also true that
nowhere is it so poorly grown, 1t is never
for lack of love, but chiefly for lack of
understanding as to it's needs Nowhere
should roses be so well grown as on the
farm. The farm has usually the deep and
fertile soil in its long cultivated garden;
it has both variety and wealth of fertil-
izer; it has usually wealth of tools
Now, rich soil, proper setting and good
cultivation with a well-cOnsdered selec-
ton of varieties, are absolutely all that
is needed to produce magnificent roses
almost anywhere. In order that the prin-
ciple of rose culture may become but as
a b to us, we need only to look at the
habits of the rose. It's roots are few and
hard and long. Tt has not the many
feeding months of the pansy for in
stance. Unless its roots can penetrate
deeply, it must surely receive death, or
great injury, from heat and drought. The
best rose growers prepare the soil by what
is known as trenehing. 1t is virtually
about the same as subsoiling; that is, the
soil is fined two spade lengths deep. But
in order not to bring all the lower STRAIT
UNI to the surface, the first layer is thrown
off, the second one spaded as usual, and
the first one thrown back on top of all. II
is called trenching, because, instead of
doing the whole bed at once, the top soil
is first thrown off. making a trench the
width of the spade. The bottom of this
trench is then spaded, and the top soil
from the second adjoining is thrown over
on TO it, and the process is repeated. The
planting of the bushes needs a word, as, if
not set rather deep, and the soil well
firmed about them, the wiry roots are liza
BILE to be dried up. Pruning of ordinary
bush forms needs no very great attention
beyond cutting out small and puny-
looking shoots, and old shoots as the
bushes gain age-provided the blossoms
are freely cut with pretty good stems.
From the varieties now at command, an
excellent selection will be Mrs. John Laing
Clotilde Soupert, Margaret Dickson, Paul
Neyron and Jacqueminot. All these are
hybrid perpetuals except Soupert, a by

Ing must inevitably give place to the sys-

ing.
Territory contiguous to the Atlantic
coast will surely, though gradually, be de-
voted to raising beef, pork and mutton,
etc, for the over-crowded countries of Eu-
rome. Yet to-day there are thousands of
farmers who are so little advanced to-
ward that system of farming that they do
not even raise forage enough to supply
their work stock and milk cows eight
months in the year with reasonable ra-
ton of it, While they can raise it for less
than 81 a ton, they every year are COM

an effort farmer can provide himself
with an abundance of forage that will last

A farmer should calculate closely the
amount required, allowing so much per

accordingly. The most of small farmers
have no facilities for Weighing bulky ar
ticles like hay, but with care they can es-
innate, with some degree of accuracy, the
emount that they store away, whether
enough for two or three head of stock,
and if there is any error, let it be on the
safe side and have a great deal too much
than not quite enough. When there is
not barn room enough, make pens of
skinned pine poles and provide cheap
roush-edge plank or wide split boards as
temporary covering. Ingenuity will sug-

Insect Pest Destruction.

In tackling the job of killing insects,
first ascertain how they feed-whether by
biting or chewing or by sucking, says Farm
and Home. The former may be killed by
feeding a poison such as paris green; the
latter by being covered with dilute kerr
osene. Paris green can be used on the
foliage of most plants up to July l. Late

fruit? All are more or less familiar with
the common farm insect pests of which
every known commercial plant has a
host. Fungi are far less easily I'M
derstood, as they include the rots, rusts
scabs, smuts and mildews that attack
fruits, vegetables and farm crops, and are
of a bacterial growth. These fungi null
tiply by spores and for the more rapid
development require high temperature
and considerable moisture.
The chemical compounds used to de-
stroy the above described injurious forms
of plant life are called funglcides. They
are a few simply prepared plant posons
which are thrown in a dense spray, sim
liar to a heavy mist or fog, over the To-
liage or the plant. For the more effectual
destruction of pests among California cit

an entire tree in gauze material and in
flated it balloon like with poisonous
gases to destroy insects. The more thor
