girls, and by wives until they have
got their first child. After that, the
pearls are used as fringes and tassels
for the amaut.
The pet garments Of the girls. and
Of married women, too, are the
breeches and the kamiks. They take
much time to make these garments as
fine as possible. The breaches, which
are worn next the bare body, are
made Of costly sealskins or reindeer
skins. They are not fastened to the
body by anything, but their stiffness
keeps them in place. The Greenland
ers know nothing Of buttons or hooks
or buckles or braces. at least on the
women's garments.
The kamiks consist Of an inner
stocking of skin with the hair inside,
and an outer boot made Of dyed or
painted skin in the most s~creeching
colors-bright red, blue, violet. The
most valued are the white half-boots
which are used on Sundays, holidays,
and on certain occasions IL mar
riages. The sole of the kamik is not
hard and stiff, but soft and pliable.
Between the soles of the inner and
outer kamik is a layer of straw, that
every day must be taken out and
dried.
The hair-top, the national head
dress, is the darling Of every young
girl, and is put up twice or thrice a

which looks exceedingly funny If one
happens into a sleeping-room at night.
Round the top are wound ribbons OF
different colors, like standards, an

the towels and slipped them off. In

PRUNE AND SPRAY IN WINTER
Unless There Are Large Number Of
Trees Warmer Weather Of Feb
ruary or March Will Do.

Pruning and spraying are the two
operations that can be successfully
carried on in midwinter, says the Su-
burban Life. The pruning Of all trees
can be done, but unless there is a
large number the warmer weather Of
late February or early March Will
make the work less disagreable.
Grapes, however, can be pruned to da-
vantage now as the wounds will then
have become hardened before the sap
begins to flow.
Spraying is important, for the San
Jose scale must be killed in order to
have perfect fruit; and then there are
other insects, such as the aphids,
which winter in the egg stage on the
bark. The same spray hat kills he
San Jose scale will destroy these
eggs.
Brown-tail moths will be found in

If the rough bark Of apple n other
trees Is scraped with a hoe or similar
tool, many insect eggs will be re-

insect cocoons should be burned.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
THE ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANSCONTINENTAl RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana
dian west the Vice-president Of the
largest individual hardware company
in the United States. AS his firm have
a turnover of millions, n deals en-
tensively with farm implements. this
man took a deep interest in crop con-
ditions in Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in ar article
for the Hardware Reporter. This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
farmers.
The writer speaks of the Importance
Of the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
of the Importance of the oat crop and
also of the winter wheat crop, as we'll
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that it can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the II generally
grown, and all who know anything OF
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard Of the high character of this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article
'In a LAND Of such great sweep, and
of such difference in soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present Of the same o~verwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
it is the one absorbing topic Of inter
est and Of conversation during Its
growing and it's harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of a large part Of the Domin-
ion. Its influence extends far down
into the United States, drawing thou
sands Of farmers northwards with the
lure Of cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower of their young men to Its op-
portunities. Development In these

Pruning Trees.

Never remove a limb which there is
not a good reason for taking out. You
can take it out mighty easy, but you
can't put it back. Never take out a
limb this year that you are sure will
not do any harm If you do not take it
out until next year. Certainly the
diseased wood must be taken out; all
limbs that are so diseased where there
Is no hope Of recovery from any treat.

Very many times those limbs are
taken out and are left lying in the
orchard, and the spores of disease in
ttem will infect healthy wood very
nearly as well, from the limbs on the

ought to be removed
