NINE. NORBERT LEVAVASSEUR.

A lady amateur and lover Of the
rose writes us: I'VE have just re-
ceiyed a catalogue from an eastern
company laudinS this new rose. Will
YOU please tell me whether it is hardy
or not, and is it desirable variety to
plant so far north as Lincoln, Ne
braska ?'-Miss Fac Smith.
The above variety of the rose is one
of the new novelty introduced from
France in the last few years. sWhile
its name seems long, it was named
by the introducer, Mr.. Levasseur in
honor of his eldest daughter. This &C
counts for it's long name, but in this
country it is called THE Baby Ram
bier" We will say from our own eX-
perience that we are much pleased
with il. 1t is a cross between the
Crimson Rambler and the Glorie Des
Polyanthus. While it takes the color
Of the Crimson Rambler, and IS
hardy, yet in form it IS quite
dwarfsh. taking after its parent,
The PoIyanthus. The foliage is
of a very fine polished green,
blooms in large clusters, and very con-
tinuous. Our plants commenced to
bloom in June, and when frost came
the past fall, they froze up perfectly
laden with flowers. We have never
wintered them out doors, but neigh
bors of ours have let them stay out
with slight protection, and they came
ont in the spring with remarkable
vigor. | might say here that they are
nothing but a Dwarfy Perpetual Grim
son Rambler.

THE sow AND THE PIGS.

Prof. Ferguson, formerly of the
Michigan station, Says: About three
or four weeks before the SOW is due

OF bran or shorts than formerly;
from week 70 ten days We do not
give her any roots. You can best feed
young pigs by feeding the mother,
feed good, stimulating rations when
the pigs are week old. but remem-
Der that heavy, full feed is apt to
throw her out of condition and milk

this time feed barley or corn meal,
especially barley. A good many men
in the barley districts of Ontario

food that will take the place of milk

NITRATE OF SODA AND CLOVER

Would nitrate of soda applied to a
new clover field next spring be profit
abIe?--J. +. ".
No. We would not put nitrate of
soda on clover. The nitrate contains
no fertiiizing element but nitrogen,
and that is what we want the clover
To obtain for us. Glover has the abil-
ity to take nitrogen from the air
that is. the little bacteria which live
on it's roots can obtain it, Suppose
YOU had a cat capable of hunting and
willing to catch rats and mice, and a
watch dog which You kept tied SO
that he could not run about. If you
had 10 buy meat TO feed one of these
animals you would not feed it to the
cat, because she can get ont and hunt
her meat. The dog cannot do this.
and so he should have the meat The
clover is like the cat. II can, under
proper conditions, get supply of nj
trogen. Grain, grass, potatoes and
similar crops cannot do this. there
fore it is better practice to put
the nitrate of soda on these crops.
Put acid phosphate and potash on
the clover if need be.

DO ALL SUCCEED?

Many engage in the poultry bust
ness with exalted ideas. These may
have been obtained by computing
what might occur on paper or by
reading what some person is doing
somewhere along this line. All who
engage in the business OF rearing
poultry as an occupation do not sue
coed Many engage in it as 4 side
issue, very much as scores and hun,
dredS of farmers do. 1t is all right
TO have poultry as Il side issue SO
long as they are not sidetracked and
left to shift for themselves and thus
incur a loss rather than causing a
profit
A few requirements for success lie
in a location. good. healthy stock, an
early maturing variety, with some eX
perence possessed by the owner.
Lack of experience is most disas
trous and is the cause Of many fail
ures.
Lack of capital is about as bad. for
so many compute that but very little
capital will be required to carry
on the poultry business.
Many fail in this business because
Of lack Of business ability and not be
ing able to grasp the minor details
We do not say to keep out of the
poultry business if you do not want tC
fail. Not that. But to engage in the
business on a small scale and grow
with the business. No one can leaI
to the top of the ladder at one bound
1t requires step by step.

In certain experiments conducted
by the Illinois Experiment Station it
has been ascertained that by growing
legumeS nitrogen can be put in the
soil at a cost not exceeding one cent
per pound. If purchased from COM
mCrcial sources it will cost - cents
per pound. The course for the farm
or to adopt in securing nitrogen is
very evident TO the greatest extent
practical il should be secured through
the growing Of ieguminous crops
adapted to the locality. Some locali-
ties are better adapted to growing a
variety CT legUmcs than others. but
there is no place where one or more
of these cannot be grown to advan-
tage and clover is the best.

Much is said in the press nowadays
about the finishing of cattle and sheep
on alfalfa hay alone. While it is true
that alfalfa will put animals in con-
dition which would meet the needs Of
the local dealer, it alone will not put
them in that high finish which is ne
cessary to secure the highest prices
on the market. Before this can be
done it is necessary TO feed several
mounds of meal along with the al
falfa per day. Probably one'third OF
the amount. however. that is fed with
some carbonaceous kinds OF forage
would give as good results as full
amount of grain in the absence OF
alfalfa.

of cotton produced in the United

bales produced, and it has nearly all
been sold at a price but little above

of fine catch of mountain trout.
Their route was up Provo canyon TO
Heber and thence east as far as the
north fork of the Duchesne river, and
the return was by the same way. These
jaunts are becoming memorable events
TO several of the members and their
experiences have been as varied, as in
teresting and as free from harm, al
though fraught with great apparent
danger at times, as were the adventures
OF the members of the historic Pick
wick crowd. Mr.. Smyth is said to EMU
late the part of Mr.. Pickwick in a
manner that would win laurels on the
stage. This was the second trip of the
kind that has been made this year.
Fame Is Spreading.
With Mr.. Smyth, as commander, and
the Hardy brothers as aides, the fame
of their fishing adventures are such
that they could make their excursions
almost perpetual throughout the summer
and have an abundance of recruits wait

They report a catch of about 600
