ESSENTIALS In

The planting Of roses can hardly be
undertaken at better period Of the
year than now.
The first question is the soil, and
here the rose is really very accommo-
dating. There are few soils in which
Roses will not grow. The ideal rose
soil is a yellow clayey loan of silky
texture Heavy clay soils are i'm
proved by the addition of road grit,
leaf mold. old potting soil, burnt earth,
and horse manure. Light soils should
have pig or COW manure added, also
clay or heavy loan. The latter should
not be added in large Jumps, but in a
broken-down state
In preparing the soil dig or trench

ing manure with the lower spit. None
should be mixed with the upper soil,
as the roots do not want to be in con-
tact with the manure when planted. A
mulch car be added on top when
planting is finished. When single
trees are being planted, as, say, stand
ards in round beds on the lawn edge

pared as above. Where quite insult

Scissors for Memorial Wreaths.

The police of Berlin applied the
censorship Of the scissors to a recent
demonstration at the cemetery where
are buried the socialists and anarch-
lists who fell in the revolution in Ber-
lin March IS, 1S4S. Hundreds of visi-
tors brought wreaths, the socialists
red and the anarchists black, to lay
on the graves. The police. with scis.

mitted to them, and the sentiments on
the ribbons had to undergo the cen

1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN GAN.
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February ., 1913, pub.
lished III Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions. etc.,
says: I'VE have had fine weather I'M
til New Years, when some snow fell
and was cold for few days, but
during the past few days We have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from 30 to 35 bushels of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels Of oats and about
20 bushels OF flax. All homesteads are
taken in he vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at REASONABLE figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd Of Februc- y
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 100 hours
for the % days.
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
and the coolest Wednesday was 4 be-
low. During the last fortnight of
February and 81 hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over

total of about ten hours is something

Mixed stock FarInino.

AS a rule, on the average farm at
least, II will be better to have a few
cattle, some horses, a score OF swine
and small flock of sheep. than to have
the same amount of money invested
in either cattle or hogs alone. There
is greater safety in such distribution
Of capital, inasmuch as the different
kinds of stock subsist somewhat on
different kinds of food. and IL on ac-
count of drouth or for some other
reason one kind of food fails, others
may be made available to carry
through in good condition at least one
or more OF the classes of animals kept.

Hay Should Not Sunhurn

The feeding value, as we'll as the
market value, and palatability of hay
is lowered by being sunburned. The
feeding value is probably hurt most
by the loss of leaves. Sunburnec
clover and alfalfa lose large part OF
the leaves in handling, and this is the
best part of the crop.
When the sun is shining very
brightly the alfalfa or grass should
not be left in the swath long. A large
part of the curing should be done in
the windrow and the cock. Most OF
the hay is then shaded and SO the
damaging effect of intense sunshine is
reduced to the exposed portion. And
a stock cover will still further lessen
the injury from the sun as we'll as
from rain.

Bisulpnide for Ants.

Where ants infest lawns or other
equally available areas, punch holes
about a foot deep with stick at three
or four points near the center of the
nest; pour into each about an ounce
of the bisulphide of carbon and close
the openings with the foot. The
vapor will get into and follow the gal
leries and kill the ants. A second
treatment will rarely be necessary.
