Small Fruits.

frequently two crops may be had on
the same plot during the year, such as
early peas followed by late cabbage, or
turnlps may follow onions; but the
soil should be rich and well supplied
with manure or fertilizer. One advan-
tage with a small garden is that during
the dry season some of the crops can
be watered by the use of the hose or
sprinkler. Inexperienced persons should
not expect complete success the first
year, but there is nothing too difficult
to learn, AMI The second year should
prove satisfa Tory If the season does
not become too dry. The principal
small fruits are blackberries, strawber-
ries and raspberries, but gooseberrles,
currants and grapes are also included.
The most profitable fruits are those
that receive attention during the entire
year. The strawberry will thrive and
bear well with but little cultivation on
some soils, and often receives no care
after the plants have been set out, 9th
er than to run the cultivator down the
rows once or twice, but 1t will pay we'll
for any extra labor that may be ap-
piled however. The largest berries are
grown from plants In single stools, but
the largest yields are obtained from the
matted row system. The first essential
Is to get the young plants In the ground
as soon as possible, so as to afford them
an opportunity to grow and make head
way before the dry season comes on.
High winds and a dry soil will make
quick work Of young plants. The rows
should be just wide enough apart to
admit of the use of the horse hoe, and
the ground should be kept very loose
around the plants in order to guard
against drought as much as possible.

Feeding Animals.


In the feeding of animals the farm.

between fiesh-formilg foods and those
that form fat, is enabled to so combine
the different foods as to provide for
all their wants. Knowing that the "al-
buminoids" heterogeneous foods) pro-
duce muscle Clean mean) and milk, he
should, in order to allow for heat and
tat balance" the foods for the purpose
OF avoiding too much of the one kind
ana not enough OF the other. On an
average, the proportion OF heterogeneous
foods to the carbonaceous Is as one to
six (though the proportion may vary,
according to circumstances) or, rath-
er, he should aud six times as much Of
the carbonanecous as he does of the nj
trogenous. The conditions, however,
affect the proportions, as less carbon Is
required in summer than in winter,
hence during the warm season the nj
trogen may be increased and the car
bon diminished but, If the weather Is
very cold, the proportion of carbona-
ceous matter, on the contrary, should
be increased.

For fruit tree planting, when the

logged, not only should it be we'll drain
ed first, but the bottoms of the holes
in which the trees are planted should
have placed In them some coarse rubble,
to act as drainage also. Apart from
such material helping to keep the roots
out of the clay below, ii serves also to
keep them fairly dry and aerated, and
that Is very important for the future
health of the trees. In making holes
on such ground, throw out to fully
three feet wide and twelve inches deep.
Into each hole then put four inches of
old brick and mortar material, or
clinker, or other hard, coarse material,
well trodden and leveled. Upon that
put, If obtainable, pieces Of turf, upside
down, then three inches of soil. and
plant the trees. In that way not only
will the roots be kept near the surface
and be healthy. but because the trees
are on slight mounds, they can be fed
each summer with a mulch of manure.
Too much trouble can not be taken in
planting trees on stiff soil. to keep the
roots near the surface.

GIeanfn gs,

When farmers are busy In the spring
they are liable to neglect many matters
which should command their attention.
Get the implements in readiness and
sharpen the tools. The grlndstone Is
a valuable adjunct to good farming, If
thorough work Is desired.
1t is no easier to keep poultry than
any other stock, as labor and proper
management must be used TO meet sue
cess. Less capital may be required
with poultry. but 1t must be judlciously
expended, or a loss can result as easily
as from any other source. Experience
is of more value than capital In poultry
raising
The food left over on the ground fer
ments and decomposes In a very short
time on warm day, and 1t therefore
becomes one of the main sources Of
gapes In chickens and cholera In fowls
Filth in the summer season should
never be allowed 1t is well to do away
with troughs entirely, feeling only
whole grains and scattering the food as
much as possible.
1t is, perhaps, the proper system to
water the animals at regular periods,
especially horses; but animals differ,
and may desire water at times when
they do not receive ii. To give all ami
mails free access TO water is not con-
trary to the natural law, as they are
sometimes better judges of eating and
drinking, so far as they are concerned,
than their owners.

Cultivating the Garden.

The majority Of farmers give but lit
tie attention to gardening. They regard
the spade, hoe and rake as implements
which involve too much time and la
Dor If a farmer desires to grow a
corp of any kind he prefers to do the
work with a pillow and cultlvator, and in
wholesale manner. This repugnance
to using the small tools, in order to
grow supply of vegetables, has been
the cause Of depriving hundreds of
farmers of luxuries that would have
cost but little if they had considered
the value of the crops from a garden,
and also the real cost compared with a
crop of grain or potatoes. But there
are, however some farmers and their
wives who know how a garden helps
to make a farm enjoyable, and they
are the ones who will now enjoy the
work of planting the seeds Of the many
different kinds of vegetables, for there
is no portion of farm life so agreeable
as that of preparing the ground in the
spring for the garden. There has been
an advance in the system Of gardening.
While the hoe, rake and spade still
hold place in the list of garden tools,
yet they have been superseded mainly
by the single and double wheeled hoes
and seed drills, which save time and
labor and which can be used for doing
good work.

The TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.


How many women-and men too
are suffering from q general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to helpi Consumption

debilitated systems easy prey, for the

The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement Of Mrs. William Manley, OF

appearing and my nerves gradually

hearty appetite and now weigh over
1870 pounds. believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder woman can take,
rs they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and have never

The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work

FOrty-five Bushels Oats Per Acre
Are in Western Canada.
Saltcoats, Sask., Dec. 8, 1906.
To the Edltor-Dear Sir:
willingly give you the result Of my
four and a half years experience In
the District of Saltcoats.
Previous to coming here 1 farmed In
Baldwin, ST. Crolx County, Wis, and
as have heard great deal about the
Canadian Northwest, I decided to take
q trip there and see the country for
myself. l was so impressed with the
richness Of the soil that / bought hair
a section of land about five miles from
the town OF Saltcoats. l moved on to
the land the following June, and that
year I broke 90 acres, which l crop-
ped in 1904, and had 80 bushels wheat
per acre. In 1905, with an acreage Of
$50 acres, had "a bushels wheat AMI
35 bushels Of oats per acre. In 1906.
with IT'S acres under crop, had %
bushels wheat and 40 bushels of oats
per acre.
From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that I am
very well pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course have had to work
hard, but I don't mind that when 1 get
such a good return for my labor.
To any one thinking about coming to
this country I can truthfully say that
II they are prepared to work and not
grumble at tribes, they are bound to
get on. Some things I would like diff.
ferent, but take the country all round,
! don't know where to go to get bet.
