EnaIish Lawns as War Maps.

It is often difficult to comprehend
from a small map the significance of
different movements and the strategic
value of certain positions in the pres

territory involved. Seeking to get
around this difficulty, several English
lawns have been experimentally con-
verified into large scale, open air maps.

that of the enemy, and, in general,
gain a comprehensive idea of progress
in warning operations. Small national

FIND BY-PRODUCT OF VALUE
From the Refuse From Process
of Sugar Refining.

More and more of the residues of in
dustrial processes that used to be
thrown away are being found to con-
tain some useful substance. In some
cases the value Of what was originally
considered "by-product" has come to
exceed that of the primary product it.
self The residues of sugar refining
have been discovered to contain valu-
able waXy substance in sufficient guam
titles to warrant its extraction on a
commercial scale.
When a section of sugar cane is ex-
amined under the microscope it is seen
that from the epidermis exude little
protuberances, straight or curved
and disposed perpendicularly to the
surface. These are made of wax, which,
in other parts of the plant, passes into
the juice in the process of it's extrac-
ton.
The lime used in almost all reineries
carries them away In the refuse of the
precipitation process, from which the
idea Of rescuing them was not long
ago preached.
For this purpose the Shiny residue
is placed in receptacle, where it I'M
dergoes fermentation which destroys
the fatty matters without attacking
the wax. The substance is then dried
in the sun and afterward in current
of warm air or in a furnace. The dry
product is crushed and treated with
benziae or carbon disulphid. The wax
thus obtained is then refined by being
extracted anew with petroleum es-
sence, and then by filtration through
clay or animal black. The residue of
this extraction may be utilized as a
lubricant or treated to obtain the sugar
which it still contains.
Cane wax thus obtained is white or
pale yellow. 1t much resembles in ap-
pearance Carnauba wax, as also in its
hardness and high melting point. The
dried Shiny residue contains ten to
twelve per cent of it-a sufficiently
large proportion to justify the indus
trial treatment of these residues.

AMERICANS GROW
RICH IN CANADA
Testimony Proves FaISeneSS OF
Statements as to 0nerouS
Taxation and CONSUMPTION.

THE attempt to check emigration
from the United States to our prairie
provinces by publishing alarming state
ments about the enormous war taxes
that are being paid here-$500 on
quarter section yearly-about forcing
young men to enlist for the war;
about the cold, no crops and any old
story that by their extravagant bold
ness might influence men and women
from venturing north to Canada, is real
ly in the list of curOs to our people.
Knowing the country, we can hardly
take it seriously. Our governments,
however, dominion and provincial, are
taking steps to expose the false state
ments that are being made, and there
by keep the channel open for continu-
ing the stream of settlers that has
been flowing to us for the past decade.
We have thought to assist in this
work, and to do so purpose giving,
from time to time, actual experiences
of Americans who have come to
Saskatchewan during late years. We
give the statements of two farmers in
this issue as follows

THE WHITE CARNATlON
BY BETTY PAkE.

The search for the pure white Coz.
nation, one that will keep its pure
color for long period, has never
been quite successful.
1t is a fact that the average vari
ETY. remains under cultivation but a
few years. and they are constantly
running out. They must, therefore,, con-
stantly be replaced by newer and
more vigorous varieties grown from
the seed. Often q carnation that pro
duces beautiful white flowers for two
or three years fails entirely after that
time.
The common garden soil will not do
for the carnation. 1t should be com
posed of about three-fourths rich, dark
loan and one-fourth well-rotted ma.
nure. This should be thoroughly
mixed several times and by Septem
ber the first cuttings should be placed
in boxes about five inches deep. SET
the plants about ten inches apart.
Syringe thoroughly with water untr
they have a good start. The plant,
should be staled in order to keep tn,
flowers above the foliage.
The soil should be frequently treat
ed with liquid manure-cow, sheep
or hen droppings are excellent-bu
it should not be too strong, say abom
the color of weak tea.
If you want large flowers you must
disbud the plants judiciously. Give
them plenty of water and ventilation
and syringe with tobacco extract to
discourage the red spider.
If potted, they should be in pots
of from four to seven inches accord
ing to the size of the plants.
The best way is to propagate their
in cold frames, leaving them uncov
cred as long as possible. The early
frosts will not injure them. AS the
cold weather comes on, cover the
sashes, but on bright, sunshiny days
uncover and give them plenty of air.
OF course in very severe weather
they must be thoroughly protected
against freezing. If they are proper.
ly cultivated they will bloom in a
month or six weeks.
While carnation growing Is not par.
ticularly difficult. the plants must be
attended to with great regularity
They are rich feeders and therefore
must have very rich soil, plenty OF
water and all the air and sun they
can get at the last in order to bring
them forward quickly.

THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

One of the best late Towering, hardy
shrubs is the hydrangea.
While there are other shrubs that
L like better, this one seems to be a
favorite with the masses. 1t has the
merit of extreme hardness, easy cul-
ture. great Righteousness, late bloom
ing and persistency.
Its flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against a background
of pure white.
In planting the hydrangeas, would
never advise using them singly. They
arc vastly more effective when
grouped. By this means we secure
for it strength and dignity which
single specimens never have Plant
ed thickly this plant produces a grand
effect.
Those who are in search of plant
that will grow in any soil and under
almost any condition. and has hardi-
