RDER One objection to a cultivated orchard is that the ground is often muddy in apple-picking time. That is. true, and has $2183,“ Every l especial force where such a fine quality of mind is produced ‘ ‘ ' as in this district. Another is that there is a danger of the 1 roots being damaged. They often are, and in that case I infinitely-more harm than good is done. But that is a j vagiegg gt; 3121:1311: matter for the common sense and skill of the man who ‘ " ‘ owns the orchard. When sod is being broken up, the first ‘ ggulflfeiorcliriilgfgg plowing should be shallow, for it will not do to destroy too ‘ many roots at once. The depth may gradually be increas- Caticn- ed to its maximun which need not be more than four or 5/ five inches. A disc harrow will break an ordinary sod sufficiently for the first cultivation. There is the question of climate. Sod affords the roots a great protection from frost. In northen regions Whether you ask it must be undistured on that account. Its benefit is two- tario. During a fold: it protects the roots and for reasons mentioned above sections on both cur-tails the growth of the tree so that its new branches ian and the Yan- are less extensive and hence better matured when the frost ‘ l‘hese ideas were comes. South of the lake they care little for the frost. In 1nd listening to our latitude the cold does not prohibit cultivation but de- mands some caution in going about it. ' The sod should not be broken in the fall or the sudden exposure of the roots to cold will likely prove disastrous. In the spring is the time to do it. There can be little doubt but careful and f the orchard would produce good took place on Wednesday, the 10th inst., was the best held here for some years. The cattle and sheep exhibit was good and some beauti- ful colts were shown. The races and ‘the band both served as good draw- ing cards for a good attendance and the day was pleasantthough a little Cold. We think the greatest credit is due to Mr. Mark De (.‘ew for the admirable playing of the band throughout the afternoon. ‘ 1 The Esturion is off for the season and the Manita is plying between Bobcaygeon and Lindsay.

It is to be hoped that if the party decides to use him in the coming contest, he will prove of greater service than his predecessors in the Conservative stock yard. THE LOWEST tender for cement walks in the town of Cornwall was lQa-cents per square foot. Another town is getting them for 11 cents. Lindsay had same laid for 9i but they had to be built again next year. Cornwall had better take the 19% cents offer. After all the cheapest walk ever laid in this town is the one put down by Mr, Pilkie and at about the price asked of Cornwall. IT IS TO be hoped that although the commissioners did 1 not grant it at the time, they will not lose sight of Supt. Begbie’s request for an increase of salary. It is a reason- able, well-founded request. By comparison with the sal- ( aries paid for other town services, that received by the sup- erintendent of the waterworks is clearly too small. He is tment requiring special scientifie an expert man in a depar knowledge. His duties extend throughout the entire year, are heaviest when the weatheris most severe, and upon their eflective performance depend the Operation and success of the town’s greatest property. He is not getting what such services are worth. Oflice men and!| commonplace foremen are getting more money. To no man to whose skill and fidelity is wholly committed the well-being of a $100,000 plant, would any private corpora- tion offer the paltry sum that is paid to Mr. Begbie. The ‘ , smallest sort of percentage on the splendid increase in the ' plant’s earning power under his management, would give v the superintendent a good many times the increase he asks. If on no other basis than the actual extension of the mains during the past two years, Mr. Begbie’s request should be instantly granted by the commissioners. The fact is the 1 whole matter of remuneration should be gone into by that t body, and the superintendent’s salary put at a figure in with the position he fills. 5 z .r .1 e keeping the 16th EDITORIAL NOTES ‘5.- at. ‘ Agnesâ€"Well.
