ters giving experiences of settlers,
and should be. encouraging to those
who are looking about for a new
home in which they may better their
conditions. The following is a 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 Mold
ing is in a high state of cultivation
and literally crowaed with splendid
vegetable specimens, which have for
tunately escaped damage by hail, al
though heavy storms have more than
once occurred within few miles. Th
potatoes are q wonderful crop, al he
expects to raise 1,500 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 a marvellous
collection of tomatoes. There are 600
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-
markably 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
charming display of all the well
known blooms were shown, including
a 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.

AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR.
The Dairy Woman and the Part She
Has Had in Developing the
Dairy Cow.

II is doubtful if any of the valuable
breeds of dairy cows could have been
produced without the help of women.
That is, these breeds have been
brought to their high state of perfec-
ton because the people that have
had the care of them for centuries
have been mostly women. The cows
of the Channel Islands and the COWS
of Holland have been under the super
vision of women for so long a time
that the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary"
Imagine, says Farmers Review,
some of our western cowboys trying
TO develop a breed of dairy COWS. Any
dairy breed they might evolve would
have the ability to run four-minute
gait and to scale fences with little
trouble. The cow naturally partakes
something of the nature of the one
that has charge of her. Kindness has
made the Dutch COW and the Jersey
COW kind. Harshness would have
made them into animals that few
could milk Gentleness has made
them of quiet disposition, inclined
to chew the cud in contentment, in
feeling of perfect security. This con
tentment has made the work OF the
mammary glands easy, and great capa,
cities for the production of milk and
cream have been evolved.
The United States is little likely to
have a distinctive breed of dairy
cows. In the main, our cows here
are in the care of men, especially in
the larger dairy establishments. On
the farms where women milk that is
the only part they have in dairying
Men have most of the care of the ami
mails.
The dairy woman is best adapted
to take care Of the dairy COW. If
more women take up dairying as an
occupation it will be a good thing for
the dairy interests. They appreciate
the value of the fine points in dairy
ing, and the fine points are what reg.
ulate the value of the dairy output.

The cut shows the kind of stall
which l prefer, writes q correspondent

rack, a, is of hardwood 30 inches high,
with the Stats wide enough so cow can
thrust her nose thu ugh up 70 her
eyes.
The bottom of the rack is Is inches
wide, extending into the stall toward
the COW. The feed box, b, slides
through an opening in the stall on the
barn floor. 1t can be drawn into the

The halter strap, c, is Just long
enough to allow the COW to lie down
comfortably The gutter, d. is eight
inches lower than the stall floor
When she lies down she will put her
head under the rack in kneeling and
when she gets up she will move back
ward so that she can look through the
rack. The length and width of stall
can be made to suit the COWS

rights That day will surely dawn

it is as sure to come as that the sun
rises in the east.
Under a perfectly organized system,
the producer is not compelled to sell
his goods below the market price
established throughout the whole

cause he will be sustained by all of

become a prey to the vultures, as it
were. When we organize and protect
our own interests we can then make

as those that are organized say, take
it or leave it. We then become the
equal of the merchant in business

are in the end compelled to pay the

Florida Crop Prospects.

A correspondent of the Tribune
Farmer, writing from South Florida,
says:
The most unusual spectacle that has
been witnessed in this, or, perhaps,
any other of the Florida orange grow
ing regions, was presented here during
the last weeks of April and the first
ones in May It was the blooming
of the orange trees. Their usual time
for blooming is from about February
IS to March IS, but the severe drouth.
lasting more than six months, and
continuing till the first week in April,
so weakened them, greatly 1essening
the amount of sap and making its flow
sluggish, that they were not in a
condition to bud and blossom at the
usual time.
What effect the late blooming will
have upon the coming orange crop
cannot yet be determined, but the out
put of fruit will undoubtedly depend
greatly upon the rainfall during the
coming summer. If the rainy season
should be a very rainy one Qast years
was quite dry one), the outlook for
a good crop will be promising, and
the ripening of the fruit may not be
much later than the ordinary ripening
time. although no shipments may be
made before Christmas
Notwithstanding the long drouth and
the failure Of many gardens and field
crops on that account, some special
Florida crops have been unusually
successful This has been a remark
ably good year for celery growing in
the Sanford fields. Nearly seven hum
dred carloads Of celery have been rails
ed and shipped from these fields this
year, and the estimated income from
the crop is about 100000.
There seems to be a promising flu
ture for Florida celery growing. not
only because this celery is a choice
product, much of it going to the large
hotels and to clubhouses, but because
it can be grown under the most ia
vorable conditions where irrigating
can be done bv means of artesian wells.
as it is in the Sanford region, and
because the Florida celery fills a gap
in the celery market between the
California product, which goes to mar
ket early, and that grown in Kala-
nazoo, the season for which is late

plants here in Florida, as Our own
experience has been, that we have
never been able to raise stock enough
to fill all orders, or produce eggs
enough for Matching.
It's business, too, that can never
be overdone, as some other things
are, as the market for fresh eggs,
broi1ers and market fowls is unlimited
here in the south.

ton is doing a good deal to interest
people in pure bred poultry, and we

readers of your valuable publication,
who are probably agriculturists by a
very large majority, to subject not
new, but that should be much more
thoughtfully considered-the co-opera-
ton Of the agriculturists throughout
the United States. In these days of
progress, nearly all trades and manu-
factories are doing business under an
organized system, to their mutual ben
eft, and, in fact, to the benefit of the
public at large. They regulate the
prices of articles they deal in, and
there is no deviation-take it, or leave
it, as the circumstances of the case
may admit of. No .tradesman will
allow his customers to dictate prices
to him. Those prices under their per-
feet organization are regulated by the
prosperity of the Countrywide supply
and demand. Of course, there are
