(oÂ¥e ( 9e | f«“.xxfiffl e 5 capk _ In the culture of roses, the quality | of bloom depends not â€"only upon good vm‘i@ties and rich soil, but a careful| system of pruning. One may choose | between a crop of many small blooms on a smaller number of fine flowers. Some varieties require harder pruning than others, but no rose bush shoilld! »e allowed to pass the spring without| pruping. Branches that have been,daâ€"} maged by the winter weather are no, longer. of use and should be removed. The small thin branches do not proâ€" du(?b bloom and they should also be taYén out. If left on the ‘bush the_vl will take up the nourishment that should go to the stems producing roses. Besides removing the dead wood anl weak growths, the branches should be shortened. _ It is a very good rule, with | bushes: that are well established, tn) take off all wood that i# smaller than | a lead pencil. In young bushes such| hard pruning is not desirable. When | removing limbs they should. be cut| elose to the main stem,â€"that is, withâ€"| out leaving stumps. Strong Hybridy Petpetuals require less pruning than | some of the other sorts, as if heavily | pruned they tend to a more \'igorousl growth of sappy .wood, making an even | lgrger bush_than, before. _ Moderate | " Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Art Shaw, the U.F.O.and the U'.‘];“.VV.O. held one of the liveliest and _ most interesting meetings in their hisâ€" \ tery. A big crowd attended the meetâ€" ing, about forty cars being parked around the house. President Frank Chapman occupied the chair and had a somewhat unique duty in presiding at " a debate of two ladies against three gentlemen. . The subject chosen was: '».l{e%olved that there is more money in hens that in cows, on a 100â€"acre farm. The ladies, Mts. Frank Johnston and /Mrs. Makk Dawson, had the affirmaâ€" tive, and so ably did they bring forth points in favor of their . contention, and so ably did they press home their arguments and proofs, that the judges bad no hesitation in awarding them the debate. _ ,Not that the negative, Stanley Rowland, Elgin: Lewis and â€"Carman Parkinson, â€" did not put up someâ€"splendid oratory, but where the ladies had the upper hand was that the men travelled too far away from the home hundred, and were treating of the cattle business from Windsor to (Ottawa and elsewhere. They also dwelt on the philosophical and commercial sides of the problem, and in their zeal spent too much time away from the farm.â€" The Iadies, on the other hand, _settled right down to business to show what:can be done by an energetic woâ€" man who is willing:to work, and to use her head as well as her hands in thcl chicken business. They took a given number of hens, showed the cost of ing them, told what they would proâ€" duce in eggs, accounted for their proâ€" geny in eggs and dressed meat, sold them finally at a given cost, and then| made up the totals. â€" Th went to show | that womenghave wonderful heads for ‘the details of a business. To prove their claim that, hens make more than cows, they raised a calf until it was| Ewo and a half years old, when its first productiveness appears. The cost of the calf in care and keep during that time was much greater than the eqivalent in hens. There was heaps| of fun during the debate, the sterner| sex getting in quite a few sly digs at] the ladies, the later receiving them with | great good humor, and fecling amply repaid when they were adjudked winâ€" mers. The judges were J. At. Carroll, | Rev. H. O. Hntcheson and Mrs. El wodd Culham. . Mrs. Carroll was| warmly welcomed by the clubs, and | invited for future meetings. A splenâ€" did supper was served at the close of | the debate,â€"and a hcearty vote of a‘o-j preciation moved to Mr. and Mrs.| Shaw for their hospitality. | The popularity of the bicycle is beâ€" coming greater and more evident day by day, both for~business and pleasure. One of the special features of this is seen daily by the persons travelling to and from Weston to West Toronto in ithe early morningâ€"z2=> cvening hours ‘ as they see Mr. Gibson, general manâ€" mager of the C.C.M., pedalling his way most happily aleng the road in comâ€" pany with other cyclists, motor veâ€" WBicles, etce., to and from his office at Wthe :C.C.M. plant, _ Weston. : Surely there must be some fascination to this mode of travelling, else why would Mr. Gibson forsake his luxuriant motor, with its finely upholstered seats, soft eushions, high powered machinery and qthex‘"cquipmt’nts for the man powered propelled wheel, small and . insignifiâ€" eant compared with its rival, ‘The Auâ€" tomobile." ‘Yes, the wheel has the adâ€" vantage. It gives the needed exercise after a strenuous day in the office; the opportunity for filling the lungs with healthâ€"giving fresh air, does not reâ€" quire the consencrated effort and eterâ€" nal vigilance that is needed to drive theâ€" larger machine, yet it gives him pleasure it filso has its advantagesâ€"the il'pitial gost oflthe wheel is all that is meeded for the ways‘ outing, no gas qeeded to carry youf to your desired haven and what is more enjoyable tlmnf a spin along a shady country road with fihe spreading boughs of a stately oak, 1'11&131e or elm, free from the dust, noise ’afnd thrmoil of the city streets. Others ef the C.C.M. staff devoted to the wheel might be mentioned in the perâ€" sons of Mr. Haliday, gencral sales manager, and the latter may be seen on many pleasure jaunts accompanied by his wife, both of whom are ardent eyelists. Another boost for the wheel might be: given by the school pupils of the day, especially those living in ‘the country who have quiteâ€"a distance to travel and, others attending the varâ€" ious High| Schools, who, if it were not for the wheel, would be forced to reâ€" side in. the school centres, boarding away from home and missing the par ental care and protection in the most eritical period, of: child life, when tdeas are*fl/cr'eatpd and ideals formed which mould the character and form the desâ€" tiny of the fubure generation, the founâ€" dations upon which are being built our nation. _ W.

Within half an, hour he was furnished with the names of two prospective employers, prosperous furmers in the Sintaluta District, one of whom operates ewo sections of land and carries 60 head of cattle and 25 sheep; the other represents the presi; dent of the local Grain Growers Asâ€" sociation, has three quarterâ€"sections ‘of land. Captain Ingle, who had letters of introduction from Board represenâ€" tatives in England, was well p%eascd with the arrangements, and left the folâ€" lowing day for Sintaluta â€" to accept employment as farm helper until he has gaingd the necessary experience to ustify him taking up land of his own. He has capital .sufficient to purchase a farme and equip it, but is anxiqus to avail himself of the Board‘s services: in guiding him in the selection of Janw, stock andâ€"equipment, and of the‘ suâ€" pervision of the Board‘s field staff afâ€" ter he has become settled. * Captain~ Ingle has had 10 years. farming experience in England â€" and ierf'ef(‘ifiin the British Army with the During the last Toronto municipal elections, Ald: wW. : Baird, of Ward 7, opposed Sir Adam Beck, thereby registering himself as an opponent to Hydro. At the meeting of the ‘Antiâ€" Incorporationists held in the Maple Leaf Theatre held on Thursday night, Ald. Baird was oneâ€" of the headline speakers. . If the Antiâ€"Incorporationâ€" ists support a man like Baird and let him talk with his antiâ€"Hydro leanings, then they too must be antiâ€"Hydro. . It is well known that Mount Dennis is not antiâ€"Hydro. 7 RAS.C The service that the Soldier Settleâ€" ment Board is able to render new arâ€" rivals in Canada from the Old Land, although such settlers may not require financial assistance, is exemplified by the arrival in Regina a few days ago of Captain Ernest Ingle, an, Imperial Service Officer, who intends to work en‘ a farm this year and then. take up land of his own next vear. f It is equally instructive to_ #g through the packing plant and be shown collections of sides made from hogs from the different market grades. The Wiltshire_side \is of definite form, and of weights ranging between cer. tain limits. ‘The characteristics of the side that â€"brings the hightes price are well, undersood, and the first grade of Witshire is obtainable only from a select bacon hog. Like No. 1 hard wheat, No. 1 cheese, No. 1 creamery butter or fancy fruit, the select hog is worth the higher price. A . hog raiser will profit greatly be visiting a stockyard or an abattoir and seeing for himself the actual grading of a shipment of hoge. A grader has three principal points to bear in mind, weight, length and form. Muny hogs of ideal weight are assigned to the thickâ€"=smooth group beâ€" cause they are too short for selects. Others may have the correct length and weight, but are so rough as to put them outside the select section. One may doubt the justice of a grading report if he has never witnessed gradâ€" ing in â€"practice, but he is unlikely to do so if he sees the(work done by an official grader. : 3 A few hours at the elhow of a. hog grader at one of the abattoirs or stock yards in Canada would be‘ time well spent. One may learn much about hog grading from reading and conversaâ€" tion, but the lesson is much more imâ€" pressive if one sees a shipment dividâ€" ed into separhte lots. according to grade, more especially. if the shipment contains specimens from oné‘s â€" own farm. es," explains that roses of the hardiest group nearly all bloom on wood of the previous year‘s growth, or wood several years old. It is recommended that, in addition to heading back and thinning out, it is well to remove some of the older wood each year, cutting the branches out at he ground, thus making room and letting in air so that the young stems will develop well.
