LATE KEEPING APPLES
rAe Dena.a Tor The~ IA. pee.~e
So General That Ii Shoula Not
he Ignored.

The Canadian apple growers, who
have made more of q study of the
apple export trade than most of us,
are considering, among other things,
the desifability Of finding more
hoscela1 e-keepirg apples. The best
export prices for apples are paid late
in the winter season, and IL Is at
this time that the supply is small and
the quality poor. Most winter ap-
pies have then lost their firmness OF
texture and best. eating qualities. In
spite Of improved cold storage, they
do not retain their quality sas one
would wish. The question Of pro-
sducing q new variety Of late-keeping
apples concerns every apple grower
in the country. Ifgsuch Il variety
could be produced orSevolved out, of
present varieties, it would add mill
lions to our export trade in apples.
In Canada the powers are making
earnest efforts to find such variety
by crossing several of the Russian
apples on native stock. The trouble
seems to be that most of the Russian
apples are rather inferior in size
and variety. They have excellent
keeping qualities; in fact, remaining
hard and green until almost spring.
time; but they are neither nice or
juicy. nor succulent or delicate in fla
vor. Yet the best of these varieties
have certain flavor which seems to
indicate a future for them. The too
general, disparagement of them
seems to be due to lack Of sufficient
patience to test them thoroughly.
The right sort has certainly not vet
been found, or ut least the right
cross has not yet been made with any
of them. Nevertheless, there are
possibilities in this direction that
may revolutionize apple growing for
late winter export in this country
and Canada. With the varieties pos
sessing all the hardness and late
keeping qualities, it seems more than
probable. that = the other virtues
should in time be added to them by
persistent grating with our choice
native stock. The demand for such
late-keeping apples was never more
urgent and widespread than it is to-
day, and we cannot afford to ignore
it-Midland Farmer.

HISTORY OF THE LANCE.
One OF the Most Ancient and .,
One Time Popular Of
Weapons.

Abolition of the lance in the Brit
fish army has brought out many COM
ments on its history, says the Chi
cago Daily News. Prince Raymond
Montecucoli, one of the most brill
liant military commanders of the day,
called the lance the queen of weap-
ons and also the most ancient. It
was used by the Greeks and Romans,
and later by the knights of the mid
die ages. Charles VIII. of France
seems to have been the first to intro
duce a regular lancer regiment into
his army. The corps was abolished
by Henry w., owing to the difficulty
of finding men to serve. So lancers
disappeared from the French army
until the Napoleonic wars. In the
meantime Frederick the Great, hav-
ing seen the excellent use made of
the weapon by the Poles, had armed
part of his cavalry with the lance,
and had ultimately formed a reei-
ment of uhlans. After the partition
of Poland in 1907 many Poles entered
the French service, and a body of
Polish light horse was formed, which
Napoleon in 1909 made into regf-
ment of lancers. A year later Ma,
poleon formed second regiment of
lancers out of part of the royal
Dutch guard. This arming of caval-
~ with the lance proved SO success
full that Napoleon created more
lancer regiments and attached one
to each division of cavalry. England
did not make any lancer regiments
until after Waterloo.

MARCHING PLANTS.
Varieties That Travel Across coun.
try, Keeping step with Advamce
Of Human settlement.

Several years ago attention was
called to the fact that the eastern
plants of America were marching
westward across the continent, keep
ing step with the advance of human
settlement, and conquering the ma
tive plants as they proceeded. It was
predicted that in time there would be
return of the western plants sweep
ing eastward and overcoming their
conquerors, and it is noted that that
return seems already to have begun.
At present Australia presents, per-
haps, the best example of this
spreading and conquerlng tendency
of man. The weeds that have found
their way from Europe to Australia
are crowding out the native weeds in
many places, and especially in the
more fertile lands. In some of the
more rocky soils the native plants
have the advantage in the contest.
A curious fact, brought out by OBJ
servation in Australia, is that some
imported plants, particularly orna-
mental garden varieties, cling to the
neighborhood of their human friends
as if they felt themselves to be
strangers in strange land, needing
protection. Although they spring up
vigorously within the limits of the
gardens, self-grown, year after year,
yet they never gain any footing out
side.
But the Scotch thistle does not
show itself so timid. It has been in
PRODUCED into both Australia and
Tasmania-in the latter island it is
said, by an enthusiastic Scotchman,
who wished to see his national flower
blooming around him on the other
side of the earth, and it has taken adj
vantage of its opportunities without
fear and without favor.

the arch.
To build the arch, skeleton of five
sections is made from inch lumber,
one section being shown in cut. The
posts, the height of stone wall, are
set under without fastening. The
skeleton is then covered with lath or
narrow boards, all of the same width.
On this the brick are laid endwise,
making the crown about eight inches
thick. This is covered with thick
coat of cement, making it impervi-
Gus to water. The ventilator is made
by placing four-inch tile in the
center of the crown. The door and
cellarway are placed in center of one
end, the same as any cellar entrance.
The cost of this cave is as follows:
Three days work tearing down old
wall and moving it 60 rods, using
team one and one-half days; 1900
arch bricks for ends and crown at so
cents here, $13; mason, Al hours, at
IS cents per hour, $10.25; carpenter

$500; sand, four loads. 81; cement
for crown and floor, $3.50; lumber
