For Prevention of Scab.

The Vermont Experiment Station
has been quite successful in treating
seed potatoes with formaldehyde gas
for the prevention of scab. For
those who plant potatoes on q large
scale the gas method is more convent
ent than dipping the seed potatoes in
dilute solution nf formaldehyde,
The gas treatment requires room or
bid which can be closed up tightly.
Ten ounces of fOrmalin are needed for
every 100 cubic feet of space in the
room. The gas Is generated by mix
ing In an earthern jar formalin and
potassium permanganate in the pro
portions of eight parts of formalin to
three parts of permanganate. The
jar should have capacity of about O
gallon for each pint of .formslin used.
The psrmanganate Is placed in the jar
and the formalin poured over 1t after
which the person who does this gets
out of the room as soon as possible
closing the door tightly after him.
The room shonld remain closed for "a
hours.

Hints ON Pruning Trees.

When the object of pruning is to re.
move supernuous branches, the proper
time to trim is when the tree needs
trimming. Pay no attention to the
month, season or moon, but II a
branch needs cutting off, cut it off at
once without fear of injuring the tree.
You will do the tree no more injury
ut one season than at another.
Ii you want tree to send out new
limbs in order to I'LL vacant space OF
to alter the shape of the tree, trim
Just as the leaf buds are beginning to
swell In the spring. If tree has a
habit of blossoming profusely, but
not bearing corresponding amount
of fruit, trim just as the blossoms be,
gin to make their appearance. Ii a
tree has vigorous growth of foliage,
but bears little or no fruit and but
few blossoms trim severely just as the
leaves have attained their full size.
II you do not want new branches or
suckers to start trim in August or
early September. II you want to plan
your work so as to do it to the best
advantage, and to do the most work
in a given time, do your trimming in
the fall when the trees are bare of
leaves and the weather is not too cold
If you wait until spring the bark
will be loose and you will run Il good
risk of making abrasions which may
injure the tree.
Raspberry and blackberry bushes
should be trimmed as soon as the fruit
is picked, at which time the canes
that have fruited should be removed
and the most vigorous shoots cut
back.
Currants bear most on wood of the
previous years growth, and on canes
not over four years old. They should
be trimmed about the middle of June,
at which time all suckers but few of
the most vigorous root shoots should
be removed. After frost comes all
canes and branches that have not
made vigorous growth # new wood
should be removed. Bulletin.

As stated In the Chronicle some

for some time been considering the
advisability of taking advantage Of a
proposition to purchase land in that

as to whether or not the fall was stu

ployed J. B. Colt to make a survey
and determining that it was, at once
made the deal for 100 acres at a cost
of $1,000 and thus secured the fall.
Investigation proved that by con

highest point and about $50 feet
across, the water can be raised eighty
feet and an immense reserve force be
secured. In this manner an amount
OF water sufficient for the needs of
the city during the summer months,

In securing this water power the

lem of transportation very prominent
ly to the front, and there is a railway
development in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan, Alberta and British Columbia,
Such as has never been seen
anywhere. There are at present
over 5000 miles of railway in
operation in that country, and
a conservative calculation of the
lines now in course of construction
places the extent at 5000 additional
miles; a large portion of which will
be completed during the present year.
This means the opening up of con.
siderably increased agricultural area,
and there is every reason to believe
that in a very few years the agricul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in
stead of "a Hundred Million Bushel
Crop" it will not be out of place to
refer to the crop as 800, 100000 BUSH
els of wheat for export" This may
look like drawing the long bow at the
present time, but. in the light Of what
has been done by Western Canada

is no limit that can be placed upon

for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased
acreage necessarily meant an in
creased aggregate. Still, 90,000,O00

as a good crop, and we do not think
Western Canada has much cause to
feel down in the mouth because the
acme of its anticipations on the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking one year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it can
be depended upon as great wheat
growing territory, and has to be reck-
.oned with in the markets of the
world
The yield in oats has been in
creased this year by nearly 100000
bushels, the aggregate estimate Being
75,725.6 800, with the average at 41.2
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop of barley is placed at 16.9SO.60O
bushels, which is a slight increase
over the total of last year. OF fax the
estimate given is 69O,1S4 bnsheis.

years figures.
Following are the figures in detail

the combined amounts, together with
that received from dairying and 9th

In the last week of August tour
of inspection was made along the line
of railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
and number of American grain ex-
perts. What they saw convinced
them that not only was the crop a
good average one, but the quality of
the grain grown was admittedly Of
the best quality, and more than one
of the visitors stated that although
the yield might have been larger, the
quality could hardly have been i'm

Wheat in Western Canada
a Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make range of from
37,000,000 to 115,000,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will, be some

ably not far from 90,000000 bushels.
This year larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from Is

the aggregate would assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000

This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
S7,203,000 bushels; oats, 75,725,6OO,
and barley at 16,9SO,6OO bushels, which
is very satisfactory, if not absolutely
satisfying. To better appreciate this
fact, all that is necessary to do is to
go back rs years in the history of
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels OF
wheat, on an acreage of $1,000 and
1,270,26S bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 20,000,O00 bushels Of
wheat for local consumption and seed
ing, there will be about 100000
bushels for export, which at 10 cents
per bushel will bring in outside money
to the extent of nearly $50,0OO,0OO.

all the expenses are paid by the employer, and
