W. Chipman. of Nova. 4:20- tia. who is in the Department of Ag- rilculcure there : He said : “I had a grafted FrenCh orchard before Sir Frederick was born, or at all events before he was able to'speak very far, andI take pride in telling you that that. orchard is still flourishing. Many of the old French orchards in Aimapolis County which were grafted 50 years ago. or perhaps more. are still flourishing. Only two years ago can be more true than this descrip- tion. and it confirms me in the re- solve I made some time ago that so 500:: as I am able to shake ofi the cares and responsibilities of office, I shall return to my orchard which contains something over 8,000 apple trees with those spears beaten into pruning hooks." in 1904, I was in one of these old orchards. The owner told me it.- was 150 years old. yet thpy had picked from 15 to 18 barrels of Nonpariols and Golden Russet's from each‘ tree. I have seen plenty of trees that. have produced 24: barrels. and I have seen one tree that had produCed 32 bar- rels. so if you can couple that with Sir Frederick Borden's 8,000' trees, you will see that he has an immense income assured." I am loath to finish this~ generality without a quotation from your old friend. Dr. Robertson. the gentleman who superintended the building of that great cheese that was sent to England some years ago. He has a nice idea. of the ultimate result of the beautification of the country. city and\ town, which has been so popular of late. He says withnll respect to the appearanCe m‘ the country now : “We‘shall yet be. able to say. 'I see a new earth.’ we hear of a' new heav- en and a new earth. It will be time enough to see a. nlew ‘Heuven when we get into the old one, but Ido like to dream of that new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, and which I see coming up all the while.

Mr. Glondining. speaking on “The Cultivation of Alsiko Clover." said we Were) in the heart. of the alsike district. A strip. well adapted to its growth runs westerly. No other part produces so good a quality. Tho best soi-l was a good clay loam, perfectly clean, it can‘t be too clean. Great injury bud been done a few years ago by some‘ sped hx'ms- es buying from the thresher. and in some cases boforo it was thrcshw. Unless seed is good and clean. you cannot get much of a priCe. So\\' the. host quality of seed to be got and frve from woods. The best re: sults are obtained from growing barley as a. nurse Crop. There is dang-r of sowing the nurse crop too heavy. Mr. Glondinning sowed 4' pounds of alsike _to the acre, The best he eVer grew was from 24 lbs. to the acre. He had 8 bushels to the acre, but he only had this nncv.

It requires occasionally a cover of salt. With this cchition its treatment is about the same as rhubarb.

" ' ; And berries. whortle'resp and straw, Grow bigger downward through the box. , ~ I cannot conclude without telling you that apples cananow be grown in Manitoba. on the authority of Dr. Saunders, who said there was. one sucresslul men, and he had continued success in growing apples. "1‘ reier, he says, to Mr. Stevenson. of ' Hord- en. I had the pleasure of visiting his orchard last autumn on my way home from the coast. and I was sur- prised to learn that he had produced that year 70 barrels of apples, and had grown Hibernal, Charlamofl. Du- chess, Wealthy, Blush Colville and several other sorts. He had thus produced apples in Manitoba as good as -I have seen anywhere. W. E. Glen- den-a. of Alberta. is quite enthusias- tic about growing apples in thePro- vince of Alberta. He says, “you have only to plant out trees there and in five or six years you will'get results the same as in Ontario. We have apple trees bearing good fruit. in Edmonton." Dr. Saunders also says that there are in :the Dominion about'24.000.000 fruit trees, and that the income from these trees, counting the home market as well as export trade, amounts to some ten or twelve million dollars: annu- ally, showing the importance of this industry as a revenue produror. I 'will endeavor now, as briefly as possible. to show you how early and late vegetables can be grown in the farmer's garden. With me. rim- harb is the earliest out-of-door growth. We have it to use every year about the latter part of April. and on till it is cut by~ the frost. During that time we sell from ”2.000 to 3.000 bunches. It requires little labor to grow. Half a down roots planted would be sufficient for. a medium family. It is propagated by planting small roots in the spring. occasionally cultivated during the summer and in the fell given a coat of manure. Asparagus is the next thing. n‘nout w’fiflt {a truce visionary prospedol the future Dr. Robertson has given us ghowlng u m tendency of grant M hi” I.

The water should enter tile at the sides not. from the top. He had also built stone drains 1-1- inches wide. 3 feet deep. lie laid stones as big as his fislt in the bottom. On these he laid u cedar railfind then filled in smaller stones. Boxes for collecting sediment should be placed in drains at intervals. SOME HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE. Miss M. B.

DRAINAGE. Mr. E. H. Hopkins. of Ops. spoke on “Drainage." 'l‘horv was nothing ha- said, from which a farmer will rculirn so much on tho im-mtmcnt as druinng-v. in many cases as much as from 10 to 100 per cvnt. He first went owr the land and saw where the drain should be located and next. found the full. He took the ln'ml with n dm-ico of his on. an upright piece of board attached to another a rod long. To the uplig-hl, piece a plumb lim- wns‘ at- tached. which indicntml lhn fall oithvr way as accuratoly .wa an an- g'incor could with his instruments. The lust spade usrd in diggin should be width of tile. Three feet was about the right. depth. He walked on every tile aftol (t, was laid to ensure its being laid solid- ly. He laid a light COVering of straw on the tile. then threw in a. little dirt and packed it hard. and A hedge was an attraction, and nothing equal to common Canadian cedar. If green‘was entirely cut of! ceâ€" dar it would never grow again. In planting trees on large grounds plant those which will grow large. In small grounds those which will be small. They should not be planted in rows. Nature does do it that way. Winding paths are preferable to straight.
