Adapting Crops 70 climates.
The farmer cannot change his cli-

crops adapted to It. There are two
ways Of doing this-by the breeding
and selection Of hardy plants and BY
the Introduction OF new species and

1urnip. Valuable For Swine.

7uPnip0 VaIVabJ0 FOR SNIn0.
Roots, among which turnips are
classed, are quite generally considered
to be a very valuable feed for swine.
They are about nine-tenths water and
consequently they cannot be used ex-
clusively or even in very large quanti-
ties, especially to fattening hogs. Cook
ing will improve turnips for fattening
hogs because 1t takes out considerable
Of the water. As a part Of the ration
they. make q very valuable feed for
swine Of all kinds, especially in win
ter, and are we'll worth the trouble of
gathering and preparing for the hogs.

No method of immunizing individual
trees against the bark disease is yet
known, and no method Of treating or
curing them when once attacked Is
cortain in its results. While this Is
unfortunate from the standpoint Of
tho owner of orchard trees and large
ornamental trees Of great individual
value, no method Of dealing with SIN
gle trees-surgery. medication, spray
ing, etc.-however successful In itself,
would meet the demands Of the pres
snt situation. II n not practicable at
present to apply any individual meth
Cd of treatment to forest trees; the in.
dividual tree is not worth It and Will
not be for many years.
Fortunately. however, there 10 a
method Of dealing with the situation
which is applicable to the country % a
whole and which, 20 far az tested, II
practicable. The disease, advances
but slowly In a solid line, but instead
spreads from isolated centers Of tnfec-
tion, often many miles in advance Of
the main line Of disease. It. therefore
seemed probable that IL these advance
infections could be located at rea-
sonably early stage they could be
eliminated at relatively little expense.
thus preventing further spread from
these points at least. It is believed
that this method Of attack viii prove
practicable and IL carried out on a
large scale Will result ultimately in
the control of the bark disease which
has done so much damage.

Why Ulster Opposes Home Rule

Though no riot broke out when Winston Churchill braved the Orange men fl Ulster and spoke for home rule in the city of it's foes. yet many who know the ardent nature of the people freely predict that when home rule comes. and the Catholic majority in Ireland begin to make laws for the Presbyterian minority, broken heads will be com mon enough The prediction mav be Wreng: Catholic and Protestant may surprise each other by their sweet reasoHableness and modera. ton; but just at pres na there are extreme Presbyterians who aver taas any serious attempt To impose Cath olic rule on the Orange af Belfast will provoke religious war. always the biHeFest of internecine struggles One of these prophets is Mr l.. C De Gornford, whose words in he Na- tional Review Uondon) are worth quoting as an example of aIarm.st feeling in North Ireland. Here k what he says:
 The real evil. as every lrishman knows to his bitterest cost, is tha. religious tolerance is 1abiually ant rigidly exercised against Roman Ca- tbolies by the Roman Catholic priest hood The Irish Roman Catholic is the slave of the priest. That he should he taught this religious dogma or that is another affair with which no one need interfere. But the priest claims all He claims the bady and the soul and the goods of his people aud enforces his claim with threats of greyious physical ill in the world and the fires of purgatory in fHc next No man can marry without permission of the priest. If he takes 10 wife a Protestant, the church. under the Ne Temere de cree, declares the marriages null and yaid, and the children of il are d. nounced as bastards No man can buy or sell or hold a farm but by leave of the priest No man dare vote but as the priest directs. No man can save a penny more than the priest will spare him, unless the poor wretch hoards in secret There is not an honest man who knows what Ireland is today who will not EoueA for the absolute truth of very one Of these statements

 Amundsen sems to be much grat- flied to learn that the news of his triumph is winning praise for him all over the world. Here he has con ducted himself in most modest, even exclusive manner. He has al lowed nobody aboard his ship and he alone comes ashore and transacts whatever business is necessary.

 By such an acceptance at this stage Irishmen will not be precluded from useful discussion of the bill afterward, and will not disentitle themselves from pressing for amend ments which may be considered es sential.
