out the Dominion. But to us he APP
peals as the author of some of the most
delightful poems of the period and of
the two strong novels, "The Forge in
the Forest" and "A Sister to Evange-
line"
Mr.. Roberts, in spite of the rather
disagreeable experiences to which, in
common with most literary men, he
has been subjected since devoting all
his time to authorship, remains an
IDEAL idealist, if such phrase is per-
INVISIBLE. He does not allow himself to
sacrifice art to Cuisines" and ac-
quaints the world with his literary
faith in a dainty little poem, entitled
Life and Art" which we copy from
his New York Nocturnes, little vol
ume published year or so ago:
Said Life to Art: II love thee best
Not when find in thee
My very face and form, expressed
With dull fidelity
But when in thee my craving eyes
Behold continually
The mystery of my memories
And all | long to be"
If there is any truth in the accepted
theory that mans expressed thoughts
are the representatives. of his feelings,
Mr.. Roberts is Il deeply religious ma
ture, as is evidenced by one of his
daintiest poems, entitled THE Falling
Leaves"
Lightly He blows, and at His breath they
fall,
The perishing kindreds of the leaves;
they drift,
Spent flames of scarlet, gold aerial,
Across the hollow year, noiseless and
swift
Lightly He blows, and countless as the
falling
OF snow by night upon a solemn sea,
The ages circle down beyond recalling,
To streW the hollows of Eternity.
He sees them drifting through the spaces
dim,
And leaves and ages are as one to Him.
Scarcely less impressive and perhaps
still more poetical is quatrain called
80 Thou Who Bidd' st:"
O Thou who bldd'st million germs decay
That one white bloom may soar into the
day,
Mine eyes unseal to see their souls in death
Borne back to Thee upon the lily's breath.
The prose works of Mr.. Roberts are
quite as artistic as his pnetical produc-
tions. THE Forge of tie Forest" is an
account of the life of Jean de Mer,
Sieur de Briart, and his latest novel, "A
Sister to Evangeline," the author calls

PLANNING THE GARDEN.
How 1t Can BE Made More Profitable
and Generally Useful Than
Ever Before.

Before the time for planting comes
make a plan of the garden and plant
Systematically, so as to get the most off
the ground next season, and thus make
the garden more profitable than it ever
has been before.
Plant all the rows north and south,
so as to allow the sun to shine equally
on every row and on both sides of them.
Plant the early radishes, lettuce,
beets, peas and beans by themselves
along on one, side of the garden, plant
ing the later vegetables in another
strip, so as to have one side Of the gar
den clear as soon as possible in order
to put in the later crop of cucumbers
for pickles, winter squashes, turhips,
celery, etc. &R
If the garden is planted in this way
it will be possible to grow two crops on
all of it, but that part devoted to lima
beans, parsnips and one or two other
things that require the whole season.
Squash vines planted among the early
potatoes will begin to run about the
time the potatoes are used up, and will
have free space to grow in.
Put on a coat of manure and pillow it
in as soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring. 1t may even be plowed
little wet, if the work is done early
enough that it will freeze afterward, as
the frost will break up the soil and
make it loose and friable. Plow deep
and thoroughly, for there is no better
preventive Of the effects of drought
than deep blowing: and perfect pulver-
ization,
The farm garden that does not pro-
duce at least $50 worth of vegetables ON
half an acre is Land wasted, and with
a little pains twice this amount may be
roduced.-Farmer' Voice.

LOCATING AN ORCHARD.
Plant Land That IL Too Rocky to lie
Cultivated with Advantage
to Fruit Trees.

Winter is the time to locate and plan
the orchard Much land that is too
rocky to cultivate TO advantage can be
planted to fruit trees with profit.
While it is more work to start an or
chard in a rocky place and do it well, ID
is one of the best uses to which rocky
land can be put.
1t is best to plow the land deep and
thorough when possible, as the trees
will make better and thriftier growth
in every way if, when planted out, the
soil has been prepared in good filth.
BY taking advantage of opportu-
mites the blowing may be done during
the winter, and much valuable time
saved when spring opens.
Another advantage gained by pillow"
ing the ground during the winter is
that the planting can be done earlier
in the spring than would otherwise be
possible. With the ground all pre-
pared advantage may be taken of the
first opportunity for planting.
1t is best to pillow deep and thorough.
If necessary an application OF manure
can be given after the blowing. Usual
ly manuring is more necessary when
the trees come into bearing than dur
ing growth, as a good, rich soil is eS-
sential to the production of the best
quality of fruit, while the average soil
is usually rich enough to insure good
healthy growth of the trees.
Another item is to plan out the
ground, measure it off and set stake
where each tree is to be planted. In
planning the orchard better results will
be secured if the trees are planted in
blocks; that is, all of one variety
grouped together instead of having
them in long rows or with the differ
emit varieties scattered through the
orchard.
With the trees secured in the fall
and heeled in, the ground plowed and
staked off, the trees may be set out in
the spring as soon as the frost is well
out of the ground and the soil is suf-
fciently dried out to work readily into
a good filth.
Early planting is preferable when
ever it can be done.-St. Louis Repub-
lie,

An EHEllsh-Iis Work
as Poet.
Especial New York letter.

There has lately risen into merited
prominence an American writer whose
work breathes the spirit of true
poetry and whose ability to clothe
beautiful thoughts into charming
language will make his name en-
during and the products of his
brain classics. In the narrow sense
Of the word, as it is understood by the
great majority, he is not an American,
but a Canadian. Nevertheless, as he
has for some time been u resident Of
New York, we of the United States
have a right to claim him MS our own.
Prof. Charles G. d. Roberts, to whom
this introduction has reference, was
born at Douglas, New Brunswick, Jan
uary 10, 1850. His father, Rev, G. Good
ridge Roberts, was rector Of the par
ish OF Westcock The family moved
to Fredericton in 1879, and Mr.. Rob
ert attended the collegiate school there.
In 1876 he entered the University of
New Brunswick, where he had for a
classmate Bliss Carman, the noted poet
and critic, his first cousin and most in
innate friend, His first book, orion
and Other Poems" was published in
1880, the year of his marriage. In 1883

Lichena ON Fruit Trees.

Heavy, shaggy growths of lichens
are often seen on fruit trees, especially
in the southern states. We are often
asked if they do the trees any harm.
This question has never been satisfac-
torily answered, though scientists as
sure us that the lichens are not truly
parasitic. and do not feed OH the sub
stance Of the trees to which they are at
tached, Still, when they grow as thick
ly as we often see them, they are sure
TO haNbor insects and spores of fungi,
and they always make an orchard look
untidy and disagreeable. They can be
removed by scraping, or they can be
killed or their growth prevented by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture
