ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

W. r. Milburn, John Holmes, NJ. R.
Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: eve came here
solely to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased Us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc., are all that we could wish
for.
+ f'To show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there is
a better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are well known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from it's resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return"

wild canes may be seen to do in the
woods. Half the canes were bent each
way against post and fastened with
bits of soft leather tackled to the post
as grapevines are fastened to a build
ing. They were not fastened in a close
bundle, but spread up and down the
post for a foot or more, as shown IN
Fig. /. When the season was favorable
they would reach the ground and then
the tips could be layered if wanted.
In the spring the ends were cut back
far enough to prevent the fruits get
ting dirty, and nothing more was done
until after picking, when the old wood
was cut away and loosened from the
posts and the new wood fastened in
place, it having previously grown at
will. A plantation kept in this way
had the rows snug and narrow until
nearly picking time, when the new
growth would sprawl somewhat, as
shown in Fig. 2, but as cultivation was
stopped during July this did not mat
ter. This probably would not pay for
the commercial grower, but for the
careful amateur would be both neat
and novel;. b. Pierce, in Ohio

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

walton until the tree comes into bear
ing.
In pruning the gooseberry and cur
rant prune to secure a spreading, open
head.
Powdered hellebore, either dry or in
solution, is sure remedy for the cur
rant worm.
Tor all leaf-eaters the spray may be
used as soon as the first leaves appear
on the trees.
Newly set strawberry plants should
not be allowed to bear fruit; pinch off
the blossoms.
To propagate blackberries cut the
roots into pieces two or three inches
long and plant them.
There is no advantage in planting the
tender varieties of vegetables until all
danger of frost is past.
A little wood ashes around each
strawberry plant will help in securing
more and better fruit.
One of the best ways of destroying
weeds on the lawn is by cutting off close
and applying turpentine.
In nearly all cases it is best to leave
the mulch on the strawberry bed until
after the fruit has been harvested.
With black berries and raspberries it
is good plan to give thorough cultiya
ton during the early part of the season.
While clover cannot be e:icelled for
seeding down an orchard, it should not
be done until the trees are in bearing.
By planting all small fruits in long
rows the work of giving clean cultiva-
ton can be done much more economic
ally.
Curled leaf in the peach is disease
of fungus character. 1t develops usu-
ally after a cold spell, followed by
period of warm weather.
One good remedy for mildew on
gooseberries is to spray with potassium
sulphide At intervals of ten days or two
weeks during the season.-St. Louis &e'

AN ORDINARY OLD COIN.
But 1t Served to Bring Ont the Fail

hold out has hand for his change, but paid
no other attention to the conductor.
See here!" yelled the conductor getting
red in the face, you cant pass no quarter
like that on me. It's slick. | can't take it
for more than 20 cents"
The mild man looked up and said: 'I'm
sorry, because you gave me that very quar-
ter yourself last night, and I've been laying
for you since. Well, give it here" He took
the quarter and gave the conductor a nickel.
As he took the quarter from the conductor
he suddenly dropped his newspaper and
gave/a chuckle.
well, WE'LL" he exclaimed; "here's luck.
Bless me if that isn't an 1882 quarter with
a stars and an arrow Its worth $685.
He slipped it into his pocket with evidence
of much satisfaction.
A hungry-eyed man in the corner, who had
overheard the conversation, jumped up and
said to the conductor:
Isn't that the very quarter | gave you
yesterday morning? | missed that quarter
1t was a pocketpiece and a valuable coin.

man. Thus they wrangled and quarreled all
the way downtown.

he stepped from the car. Its only plain,

GLASS RETAINS HEAT,
Professor of Physics Explains in a
Simple Way Why Greenhouses
Stay Hot Inside.

1t is very curious, said the old profess
sor of physics, to see how many market
gardeners there are who raise things
under glass, make money out of the
process, and yet do not know why their
heating frames and their hothouses re
main hot inside.
Now, as a matter Of fact, the heat
mechanism of dollhouse depends on
a well known proposition in physics
l suppose you are acquainted with the
fact that the energy from the sun trav-
els in the form of little waves.
The energy does not come down to
us in straight lines; it comes, as it were.
in zigzag manner, dancing from side
to side as it comes along. If these
waves are very short, light is the result;
if they are a tritie longer, they take
the form of heat
If the light waves strike anything
on the way down, they are very apt to
be made longer, or rather are apt to be
turned into heat. Now, the waves which
form light are so short that they will
readily pass through glass, but the
waves which form heat are so long that
they will not pass through.
From this, therefore, you will see
why a dollhouse remains hot. The en-
ergy from the sun passes into the house
through the glass roof in the form of
light. Then it strikes the objects in
the house and is turned to heat.
But this heat cannot pass out through
the glass. The heat waves are too long.
So the light keeps coming in and the
heat keeps accommodating, and soon the
lighthouses become very warm, indeed,
even on the coolest days in winter
OF course, our dwelling-houses are
heated by the sun in the same way. The
light comes in through the windows,
but the heat cannot pass out.-Boston

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
Why Farmers Should Plan to Plant
an Acre or Two to the Sue
cuIent MangeI.

Wherever a few COWS are kept for
milk or butter it would be well to con-
slider the advisability of growing a few
roots. ton of roots does not have as
large food value as most feeds we
might mention, but it furnishes a sue
culence which cannot be obtained in
winter from any other food except 81
lage. Silage requires equipment in the
way of silo and cutting machinery
which is not available to the man with
a small herd. Roots may be grown on
any good loan soil, and will yield a
profitable return in feed for labor ex-
pended.
At the Indiana station mangels were
grown at labor cost of $1.07 a ton.
This included blowing, fitting, plant
ing, wedding, cultivation and harvest
ing. The variety which made the larg-
est yield and was easiest to remove from
the ground and handle to and from the
wagon was the Giant Yellow Inter-
mediate. 1t grows well out of the
ground. The neck of the largest man
gels of this variety were small enough
to be grasped and picked up convenient
ly with one hand. This is large saving
in time over the varieties which are so
large and round like ball that they
must be fumbled to get good hold, or
possibly use two hands. The Nam
moth Long Red mangel is a good han
dler, but last season did not yield as
well as the Giant Yellow Intermediate.
-Four varieties varied in yield from 16
to 25 tons to the acre.
Plant in rows from IS to 30 inches
apart, depending upon the man and
horse which must cultivate them. Sow
at the rate of six pounds to the acre.
A good stand of plants will permit cut
ting out with hoe all but a bunch
every eight inches, then these should be
thinned with the hand, leaving only the
strongest plant of the bunch. 1t is es-
pecially desirable that this thinning be
well done. Where two plants are left
together neither makes a good growth
in size or shape.
Care should be taken not to allow the
weeds to get started ahead of the man
gels. Keep the ground loose by means
of cultivation. A spike-tooth cultivator
or weeder works nicely. A chain drag
glng behind leaves the ground in very
nice CONDITIONAL. E. Van Norman, in
