They were sitting on the warm earth
before their cabin, their backs propped
comfortably against a log, watching
the sun sink behind q distant skyline
all nOtched with purple mountains
upon which snow still fingered. Beside
them q Smudge dribbled q wisp Of
smoke sufficient to ward off a pesti-
lential swarm Of mosquitoes and black
flies. In the clear, thin air of that
altitude the occasional voices of what
bird and animal life was abroad in ths
wild broke into the evening hush with
astonishing distinctness-a lone goose
winged above in wide circles, uttering
his harsh and solitary cry. He had
lost his mate, Bill told her. Far off in
the bush a fox parked. The evening
flight of the wild ducks from Crooked
lake to q chain of swamps passed in
termittently over the clearing with a
sibilant whistle Of wings. To all the
wild things, no less than to the two
who watched and listened to the forest

plenty.

TEMPERED BY TRADE WINDS
Climate of the Dominican Republic
Pleasant and SaIubrious, Says
Consul Arthur Mclean.

There seems to be an impression
abroad than the climate of the Do
minican Republic is hot, humid, and
unhealthful, writes Consul Arthur Nc
Lean, Puerto Plata. While the climate
of this republic is tropical, it is pleas
ant and salubrious. Although it is
very warm during the middle of the
day, the temperature even in summer
seldom reaches 90 degrees F., and the
nights at all seasons are cool and
pleasant. The climate is tempered by
the trade winds which blow almost con
tinuously during the day, and at night
the land breeze from the mountains is
equally refreshing. Owing to the great
diversity of its relief the island of
Santo Domingo presents a wider range
of climate than any other part of the
Antilles. The mean annual tempera-
ture of the coast towns is about 70
degrees +. 1t is cooler inland, the
temperature varying with the attitudes.
In the valley of ConstanZa, which is
about the center Of the island, at an
elevation of $500 rect ice forms in
winter occasionally.
The rainfall varies in different sec
tons of the island from 10 to 200
inches per annum. In the southern
part of the island there is a marked
distinction between the dry and rainy
seasons. The dry season is during the
months of September to March, while
the rainy season extends from April
to August. In the northern half of the
island it rains more or less all the
year, although the heaviest rainfall oc-
ours from November to April.
There have never been any epidemics
of cholera and bubonic plague, and it
is many years since there has been any
yellow fever in the Dominican Repub-
lie,

Where diseases are very severe, the
same crop should not be planted con-
t%inuously on the same area. Rotation
Of crops is one of the safeguards
against soil infection. Land upon
which a diseased crop has been grown
should not be used for the same or q
closely related crop oftener than onc(
in three years. 1t is usually advisable
to rotate crops in such a way that
foliage crops (such as cabbage, kale,
spinach, and mustard) follow root
crops Qrish potatoes, beets, parsnips,
carrots, etc. or those grown for fruits
tomatoes, peppers, melons, etc-E
This can be accomplished in a measure
by changing the location of crops in
the planting plan or by reversing the
plan from year to year.
Preparation of Sell.
The soil that is to be used for vege-
tables should be thoroughly prepared
before planting. A deep seeded is
desirable, and when an area hat has
never been plowed more than four
inches deep must be used it should be
deepened by gradually increasing the
depth of blowing for a period of three
or four years until the desired depth
is attained.
Clay soil should be plowed in the
fall if there is no danger of washing,
so as to get it in a good mechanical
condition before planting time. In
the cooler regions of the South freez-
ing will %pulverize the soil, while in
regions where freezes do not occur the
pulverizing must be done by narrowing
and cultivation. Sandy loans or
soils that contain a large amount Of
humus should be plowed far enough in
advance to allow the soil to settle be-
fore planting
Manures and Fertilizers.
The soil for vegetable growing
should be rich and well supplied with
humus. Barnyard or stable MANURE is
the best fertilizer, because it furnishes
both plantfood and humus. An appli-
cation Of 20 to 80 tons of manure to
the acre is very satisfactory, and on
some soils this application will need
but little reinforcing with commercial
fertilizers. The manure should be ap-
piled far enough in advance of plant
ing time to allow it to decay. Where

For safety's Sake.

Two brothers who live in an East
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally well
saE'7ed with nasal organs.
One of the ring spinners at the mill
where they worked invited them to a
wedding and promised to send a cab.
for them.
The cab duly arrived and the two
brothers entered and planked them
selves down, II in each window.
In order to create an impression
during the drive to the wedding, the
two brothers were looking out of the
cab, one on either side, so that tn
people could see them.
All went well until the cab came to a
rather narrow railway arch, which our
travellers had to pass through. The
cabman looked back to take his bear
ings, and, seeing the two brothers
noses sticking out of the windows on
either side, shouted:
Put them elbows in. please ITO

of British Columbia, the Cariboo road.
over which she had journeyed by stage.
She noted the distance, and the limit
eds hour of arrival, and looked at her
watch. Then a feverlsh activity took
hold of her. She dressed, got her
suitcase from under the berth, and
stuffed articles into it, regardless of
order.
That done, she set her suitcase in
the aisle. and curled herself in the
berth, with her face pressed close
against the window. A whimsical
smile played about her mouth, and her
fingers tap-tapped steadily on the
purse, wherein was folded Bill Wag-
staff's map.
And then out of the dark ahead a
cluster Of lights winked briefly, the
shrek of the limited's whistle echoed
up and down the wide reaches of the
North Thompson, and the coaches
came TO a stop. Hazel took look
to make sure. Then she got softly into
the aisle, took up her suitcase, and left
the car. At the steps she turned TO
give the car porter Il message.

She stood back in the shadow of

ited's stop was brief. When the red
lights went drumming down the track,
she took up her suitcase and walked
uptown TO the hotel where she had tar
ried overnight once before.
The clerk showed her to a room.
She threw her suitcase on the bed and
turned the key in the lock, Then she
went over, and, throwing up the win
dow to its greatest height. sat down
and looked steadily toward the north,
smiling to herself.

aloud. "Of course I can find him"
And with that she blew a kiss from
her finger tips out toward the dark
and silent North, pulled down the
shade, and went quietly to bed.

TEST ALL SEED FOR PURITY
Advice of Secretary of Department of
observation-disclosures Waste
to Plant Weeds.

The secretary of the United States
department of agriculture, states that
"every farmer should test all seeds for
purity and termination before plant
ing" 1t is an absolute waste to plant
dead seeds or seed which is badly
mixed with noxious weeds.

fan to drain off surplus water during
heavy rains, but the fall should not
be so great as to wash the soil. If the
land near the house is level, artificial
drainage should be employed. Open
bitches or tile drains will be satisfac-
tory. On level land that is not arti-
ficially drained it is necessary to plant
m ridges or in beds TO prevent drown
ing the crops during wet weather. The
ridges or beds should be as wide and
fiat as conditions will allow, for mar
row, sharp ridges dry out quickly.
Arrangement of Garden.
The first consideration in planning
the garden is the kind of cultivation
to be given. Horse cultivation is rec
commended whenever possible, and
where the work is to be done mainly
by means of horse tools the garden
should be long and narrow with the
rows running the long way. The gar
den should have no paths across the
left at the ends. For hand cultivation
the rows can be much closer together
and may run across the garden.
Straight lines should lie followed, no
matter what method of culture is
used.
The size of the garden depends upon
the number of persons to be supplied.
One-fourth to one-half an acre is suf-
ficient for an average family and
should produce enough vegetables for
use throughout the year. By close at
tention to the rotation of crops, the
succession of crops, and interplanting,
one-fOurth of al acre may be made to
supply a family of six. Where land is
plentiful it is recommended that q suf-
ficient area be set aside to allow part
of the garden to be planted to a soil
improving crop each year.
The location of permanent crops,
such as asparagus, rhubarb, and small
fruits, should be carefully considered
These crops should be placed at one
side, so that they will not be in the
way when the garden is plowed.
Succession of Crops.
In planning the location of crops
consideration should be given to the
matter of succession, in order that the
land may be occupied as large a part
of the time as possible. 1t is not ad.
visable to have a second planting OF
the same crop or a closely related croI
follow the first. Cabbage should not
follow caulifiower, Brussels sprouts
mustard, or kale,, for many of the same
diseases and insects affect all of these
crops. Tomatoes, elephants and pep
pers should not follow each other. II
some sections three or four crops cal
be grown on the same land each year
while in other sections two crops arr
all that can be grown to advantage
When q crop is harvested early in thu
season and it is not practicable tt
plant another vegetable for two o.
three months, the lane. may be planted
to cOwpeas or crimson clover.
Rotation of Crops.
Rotation of crops is as important il
growing vegetables as in growing fell
crops, and the same principles can b.
applied. Crop rotation is important il
checking diseases and insects and IL
keeping the soil in good condition

ENORMOUS WASTE OF MANURE
Estimated That Farmers of Country
Lose 100000 900 YearIy-Much
Could Be Saved.

1t has been estimated by some au-
thorities that the farmers of this coun-
try lose the enormous sum of $780,
100000 a year in waste of manure. A
large portion of this loss, doubtless,
could be saved, and the use of this
plant food is greatly needed on many
farms.
