Bar-tiett, Jr., of Middlesex County, Ont., writing in The Farmers’ Advocate, says: “The maximum of profitable producâ€" tion, with the minimum of expense and labor, should be the ideal aim of every farmer working his agricultural inter- ests according to the highest scientific principles, and the following method of growing potatoes upon the most econ- omical lines is in strict accordance with this most excellent system of working. This article is written as the result of practical experience and extensive ob- servation. The ideal soil for potato culture is a sandy loam. With slight additional labor, however, a clay loam will give splendid results. - . The soil should be evenly covered with with well rotted manure, preferablyâ€"â€" 50 loads per acre. Plough five or six inches deep, then disc and harrow until weed seeds are destroyed, and a fine tilth of soil Obtained. Mark 30 inches one way, and plow shallow furrows three or four inches deep. Every two furrows should be thrown towards each other. Do not plough many furrows ahead with- out planting, er the moisture will not be conserved in the soil. Place the sets from 0 to 12 inches apart.’ For early varieties, place the out side downfand quicker results will be obtained. Throw the ridges back with the mouldboards, covering two rows at one time. If this handy implement cannot be obtained, use the plough. One horse only is neces- sary for this. and should walk upon the ridges. By the latter method, however, only one ridge at a time can be attended to. Leave the soil in its rough state for a few days, and then level with barrows. Keep the latter going every fourth or fifth day, or sooner. if ground is ver wcedy. This operation should be con- tinued until the plants are two to'three inches high. Frequent cultivation is then necessary to keep the soil clean and loose. Hill the vines with the mouldboards at the last, and all late weed seed, aided with the shade from the vines, will- be destroyed. Hoeing is thus not required. The seed should be cut just before planting. Do not cut a week ahead and pile them or place them in bags, or the vitality will be greatly deereasrd, if not destroyed. Mixing laud plaster with the sets is an excellent way to preserve their full germinating value. The early varieties should have been planted as soon as there was any warmth in the soil. Spraying according to the formula given in a. recent issue of The Farmers' Advocate will well repay the grower. The above methods of planting and working have been followed by man prominent growers in this district an have given great satisfaction. T. A. Baker. Middlesex County, obtained 230 bags to linens of ground, and advises an growers to give the system a trial."

Strick- land, electrical inspector for the fire un- derwriters, and H. O. Frind, of Yorkville avenue, had an unfortunate adventure at Kirkfield on May 24th. They had tied their brand new 30-foot steam launch to E. R. Tate's dock, and were enjoying dinner, when fire was noticed at the dock and the yacht and Mr. Tate’s boat- house were found in flames. Prompt work prevented the flre communicatin to Tate’s flne big barns close by, but the acht was damaged to the extent of about $400, while Messrs. Strickland and Frind's “city clothes " were des- troyed. The loss is about $400, covered b insurance .in the Royal. Mr. Strick- land had his’hands severely burned. The fire is attributed to boys and fire- crackers. .~â€"-â€"â€" nearer Leather. HARNESS MAKERS ARE HIT BY THE LABEST ADVANCE. During the last few days the tanners of harness leather in Canada. have sent notices to the wholesale trade of an advance of four to five cents a pound in the price of harness leather. All green hide stocks which enter largely into the manufacture of heavy shoes have also been subject to a greater or less ad- vance. The effect of this will not be felt in the shoe market at present, but in the harness trade there 'will be an immediate result, and in the actual cost of heavy harness there will be an in- crease of nearly three dollars. This will doubtless necessitate a readjust- ment of prices on the part of every harness manufacturer in the country. The cause of this advance in leather has been the continued firmness of the local and Chicago. hide markets. Heavy steer hides the only kind that will make harness stock, are four cents per pound higher than a year ago, and as leather usually advances in double ratio to hides, the increase on the part of the tanners is considered somewhat con- servative. Three years ago it was pre- dicted that the values of all articles made of leather would strike a per- manent higher level, but financial de- pression caused a slump in this, as in other markets. Another factor in the situation was the almost universal fail- ure of the feed crops, thereby causing ing stock-raisers to sacrifice their cat- tle. As a natural result there was a most unhealthy depression in hides and leather, but it is now freely predicted by those who are fully acquainted with the situation that the shortage will’be' the more severely felt, as no great sup- ply of hides is coming forwayd, and futures in hides are being discounted at prices fully as firm as those prevailing at present. 1? ing was Coboeonk. Mr. W. L. Richman, of Lindsay, spent the holiday at his home in Coboeonk. Messrs. Harry, Gordon and Robert Holland spent the holiday under the arental roof. Mr. and Mrs. A.

The celebration of the opening of St. Luke's Church at Burnt River on Vic- toria Day turned out very successfully. The football match between the Burnt â€"River team and an eleven from the Falls was won by the latter after a hard tussle, the score being 2-0. The Burnt River lads are a pretty fine lot, and with better combination and practice the score might have been different. The four milerace was won by Fred Le'vely, with ‘jRobert Groves a close second. The entertainment in the even- good.‘; The net proceeds- will amount to about $80.

A good story is told of a couple of young ladies from Westwood who. were coming to Norwood one day last week to do some shopping. After they had driven to some distance one of them thought she felt something picking at her feet. Lifting the robe she was sur- prised to find under the seat of the buggy, a hen and a newly laid egg.â€" Norwood Register. Wingham Advance :â€"â€"The spring may be late and cold, but never mind; the year will probably turn out all right yet. “ While the earth remaineth, seed- time and harvest, summer and winter, cold and heat " will come accordingy to the premise of Holy Writ. Mr. Wm. Robb of Clinton says that on the first of May, 1837, theponds were all frozen over and cattle which had been left out of doors were frost-bitten. He remem- bers the date distinctly, as a little sister arrived at the home. The family lived near Port Hope, and that morning he was sent to the village on an errand and saved time by 'making a. short cut across the ice bound ponds. He says the farmers did not get on their land that year until about the 20th of May, and the crop was a good average one. Peterboro Examiner :â€"Does the pret- ty, modest, refined, sensitive girl, with a slight list towards the employment to slay as her only notable deficitâ€"does she reflect that when she employs the popular expletive, “Gee!” she is using the name of the Saviour of mankind as a flippant nick name? In addition to this expression being very bad form, coming from a pretty mouth, it is simply blas- phemous slangâ€"uncensciously blas- phemous, consciously slang. The more utterly odious slang expression, “Hully Gee! ” is a corruption of the word “holy ” prefixed and vulgar, but when the element of irrevienceâ€"disregard for. the holiest names is present in its employment, words fail to fittingly characterize the conjuction of evils.

The prize list of the Canadian Nation- al Exhibition is now ‘being distributed, and, as usual, it contains handsome premiums for everything Canadians make, or grow, ermine.~ The Exhibition this year, which begins August 28th and closes Sept 13th, thus giving two full weeks open to the public, promises to be on a. more magnificent scale than ever before, and the prize list is ample evidence that the President and Direc- tors of Canada's Great Fair are deter- mined to keep it in the van of Canadian progress. To mention even the features of the different sections in limited space would be an impossibility. Suffice it to say that to the grand total of $50,000 in premiums, specials are added in every department, and that no effort or ex- pense has been spared to secure special attractions in keeping with the greateSt exhibition on the continent. To hit the million mark in the matter of attendance is the avowed intention of the manage- ment this year. FENELO N FALLS MARKETS.
