"Only this" explained the man who

1t Is not supremely important, how

If we try to live up to the rule Of

WOOL GROWING IN

This By-Product of the Farm Will
Make Many Western Canada
Farmers Rich.

Alberta wool growers are looking Tor
25 cent wool this year. That Is the
assertion made by q prominent sheep
man of the Grassy Lake district. 1T
Is quite within the pale OF possibility
that we will receive that figure from
our wool this summer" said he. and
l would not be surprised to see some
get more than that.
The war has caused great demand
to be made on the wooden mills, and
they have got to have the raw mate
rial"
The present season has been most
propitious for the growing Of wool, and
the growers expect to reap a big har-
vest of a splendid quality. The winter
has been very even, and the sheep arc
doing we'll on the ranges.
No special breed of sheep Is kept
on Western Canada farms, and all
seem to do we'll. The advice Of those
interested in the welfare of the farm
ers of Western Canada, advise all
who can at all do so to enter upon the
raising of sheep. They have proved
most profitable to those who go into
that industry on scale commensu-
rate with their means. and their farm
area.
The climate Is perfectly adapted to
the raising Of sheep, they are easily
kept, and as pointed out, there is good
money to be made out of them.-Ad-

that most of the agents for imported
goods were Englishmen who under
stood little or no Chinese. These
men dealt with wholesale dealers
who employed native interpreters. SO
when Keegan and Rosencrantz ap-
peared, young Americans selling a
new line of goods, the wholesalers
favored the established English
agents, and Keegan and Rosencrantz
made few sales.
Let's play trick on the English
agents" suggested Rosencrantz to
Keegan. Lets go straight to the

out an interpreter and sell the goods

.ERADICATING PESTS
FROM FARM GARDEN
Onion Worm Is Formidable Foe
to Deal With-Green Aphis
Saps VigOr of Cucumber.
(By NJ. ROBERTS coNovER.)

(By NJ. ROBERTS CONOVER)
War should be waged from the first
appearance Of any garden pests; for,
from the grub or maggot that feasts
upon the tender onion bulbs to the
tiny green aphis that saps the vigor
of the melon or cucumber through its
foliage, their depredations advance
rapidly.
When your onions hatten their
green tops on the ground pull up sew
eral and examine the bulb. If you
find it wriggling mass of tiny worms,
you have a formidable guest to deal
with.
Dig up the affected onions and de-
stroy them, IL the bed is not extensive
ly infested then make an emulsion of
carbolic acid and soapsuds in the pro-
portion of one pound Of hard soap,
one gallon of water and one pint Of
crude carbolic acid.
Dissolve the soap in the water and
add the carbolic acid, stirring until it
forms an emulsion. Then dilute it
with seven and one-half quarts of wa
ter. Pour this down the rows, close
to the plants.

But IL your young cabbage plants

He is the meanest creature ever held
on a charge of malicious mischief. He
delights in compost and you will find
him near the finest vegetables.

poisoned bran about the plants will
destroy these worms. Two ounces OF
paris green are mixed with twenty
five pounds of bran. This should be at
least three inches from the plants else
the poison will injure them.

A handful Of tobacco stems, mixed
with the soil in the hill, is destructive
to pests, and does not injure plants.

plaster, and repeat after each rain, as
soon as they appear.
When the radishes are affected with
