and should be encouraging to those
who are looking about for new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is copy
of the article referred to:
William Knowles, who cultivates
some twelve acres of land Just below
Middlechurch ferry on east side Of the
Red River has probably as fine dis
play of horticultural products as any
in Manitoba. The whole of his hold
ing is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowded with splendid
vegetable specimens. which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail. al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. The
potatoes are wonderful crop. and he
expects to raise $500 bushels from
his patch of Az acres. A half dozen
of tubers selected yesterday average
more than a pound each. Adjoining
the potatoes may be seen marvellous
collection Of tomatoes. There are 900
plants, all growing under an enor-
nous weight of fruit. One single
stock picked yesterday contained
eighteen tomatoes and weighed four
pounds. This extraordinary example
of marvellous growth, together with
some Of the potatoes were sent to the
Free Press Office.
The proprietor was the first In
town with several specimens, includ-
ing green corn. The season has been
favorable for onions, and one square
patch of nearly an acre is looking re-
markedly healthy. In addition there
are good crops Of cabbages, caulifiow-
er. turnips, parsnips, carrots. pump
kins. marrows. cucumbers. celery, peas,
lettuce, rhubarb. etc. The floral de-
partment has not been neglected and
a charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
. specially choice lot of asters.
Mr.. Knowles, who gained most Of
his gardening experience in England,
Is loud in his praise of Manitoba soil
for vegetable raising, and is gratified
with the result of his first attempt at
extensive horticulture.

PROVIDENCE WAS IN IT.
Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought

A farmerish-looking man shared my
seat on the train as was travelling
through Indiana, and after we had
been talking for couple of hours q
very communicating woman got on at

hard at her. and directly after she had
taken a seat he rose up and said:
Excuse me, stranger, but think
used to know that woman, and I'll go
over and see her."
He was gone about an hour, and
had forgotten all about him when he
returned to say:

sat down, half on the car seat and
half on the laps of two other passen-

the people were standing between the

The big woman fumed and fused
q little in getting settled down and by
the time the car started she was quiet.
But man who was standing on the
running board took a notion that he
wanted to get inside the car, and he
clambered up and stood between the

This was too much. She decided that
it was an imposition.
