The main difficulty in successfully spraying potatoes is that 'rain washes the poison off the vines. frequently within an hour after its application, SUPERIOR PARIS GREEN MIXTURE Rye is one of the most valuable plants in sandy soils. [But it has not as yet been generally grown for such use. and it does not matter very much whether it is wanted for sheep, cattle, swine or horses. it is highly useful in any case. There are but few sections says Protf. Shaw. where it: will not stand the rigors of the winter. and there is no kind of soil on which it will fail to make more or less growth. un- less it is soil soaked with water in the winter. or unduly impregnated with alkali. And after the rye has served its purpose in providing pasture there are but few localities in' Which it can- not. be followed by another crop the same season. When winter .rye is sown for pasture. it should always be as early as September, and if it is to be pastured in the autumn. it shouldj be. sown as early as the first of Aug- 1 list. lBut. it is evident. in dry seasons it may not germinate thus early. The difficulty may be obviated sometimes by harrowing and rolling the land al- ternately after it has been plowed. Moisture will in this way be brought tn the surface. And when the crop is pastured in the fall it should not be eaten too bare toward the approach of winter. \Vhen thus eaten. an]; a hard winter follows. the produce of the rye will be much less the following sea- son. An'l when rye is sown so late that it enters the winter in a weak condition. the results the following sprimz will also be disappointing. The growth will be much more feeble than that of rye which has gone into the winter in a strong and vigorous con~ dition. Because of this late sowing many who have sown rye have been led to under-value it as a posture. It may be sown in with corn at the last cultiv- tion. but the plan that would make it. follow small grain is a grand one, for then the plowing of the land buries an army of weeds and thus greatly helps to clean the land. cause the tin rapidly to deteriorate ? “'ashing with strong soa psudsâ€" occa- sionally before the hot water bath, suf- {ices tu sweeten and will not in any wm injure. and sparkling. Upon the surface of the one has been deposited a thin coat- ing of milk. which in the other was reâ€" moved by the cold bath. The same pro- cesses produce like results with tin. The coating deposited by the boiling water may not be perceptible to the eye. as in the case of the tumbler. but It is there as truly as are the bacteria in the air we breathe. in the water we drink. and which the microsc0pe re- veals beyond dispute. Smooth surfaces. absence of grooves and scams. should. characterize, as far as possible. every device of the dairy. Manufacturers of dairy implements should have their attention especially directed to this subject, and all utensils that are im- perfect should be rejected by the buy- er, 'none purchased which furnish lurk- ing-places for unwholesome germs. Many a churning of butter. to the chagrin of the maker, has been off flavor. because skimmer. pans. pails or churn were not immaculate, and this condition resulted neither from lack of knowlecke nor due attention. but because implements used were so con- i structed that the germs or bacteria which act unfavorably upon butter could not be reached and destroy- ed.

It is therefore advisable to add also some fall oat,gra.ss, meadow foxtail and some of the festucas and June grass. The best pasture grasses are red top, timothy and orchard grass, to which should be added red and white clover. ,The greater the variety of Our plan of starting young turkeys is to give them stale bread soaked just long enough to prevent it from becom- ing waxy, or cornmeal dough, writes a cor-respondent. Almost from the first feeding we begin to mix a little whole wheat with the feedl so as to get. them onto whole grain as soon as possible. In 0001, damp weather we mix a little black pepper with the feed. Always feed inside the 000p or building in which the turkeys are housed at night. This will encourage them to return at night. LAND ALONG HEDGEROVVS. A great many farmers who have hed- ges around their farms complain of the waste of ground- for a few feet on either side. Even when kept well trimmed, corn. wheat, oats and such crops will not thrive there. and in con- sequence a strip is left uncultivated each season. Now this need not be if the farmer really desires to utilize that ground along his hedges. Usually the soil has become very fertile on account of the decaying of much foliage, and by running a harrrow over it the ground is prepared for turnip or rutabaga seed. A good crop of turnips can be grown along these condemned hedgerows and . will be out of the way here. These pro- ducts will sell in the markets or will furnish food for stock. (If bees are kept. then buckwheat may be sown along the hedge, and. its blossoms will furnish them honey. There are al- ways ways to utilize \these vacant or neglected bits of land it we will amp to think. noun in a bucket: or buckets to a con- sistency of thin cream. mix the pain green into this liquid. then add to the water and keep agitated while spray- ing. The flour keeps the poison In suspension in the barrel and when the liquid falls on the vines forms a paste which holds the poison on the vines and will pass through many rrainstorms and continue to destroy bugs. With this method one spraying will kill all bugs and save the crop.

It was about as hard 3. job as ever I did. for my pen, I mean my lead pencil, to describe. All along the sides of the trail, on the narrow river, on the ice, every a 'aiiabie space is taken up with tents and tons and tons of sup- plies, and the mountains rise Up a thousand feet on either side, very steep and rocky. The trail is very narrow, and winds in and out, and twists and turns around huge rocks and across ice and snow bridges. On the trail one can see a long strin of determined men, winding along in plies two miles farther on, on safe ground, but there are still streams of people behind us. We have been four days making this distance, haul- ing with our horses: and nnnlzinn m. the river. our supplies up to the S'kaguay river. on the ice, to the mouth of the path, a distance of about seven miles,which is as far as teams can go. “713 FOUND THE TRAIL full of all sorts of conveyances, all hurrying forward with their outfits. I had hoped to find colder weather here, but was disappointed; in fact nothing has been a greater surprise to me than to find such mild weather. It does not all agree with the reports I had heard of the ‘Frozen North.’ \Ve could get along much better if the weather was cold, but it only freezes a little each night, and there is water and mud on the trail every afternoon, which makes it very hard travelling.

I have been driving a dog train nearly all this time, and have just brought down the last of our goods to-day. Idon’t won- der at men asking $10 and $15 aday to work on this trail. Bennett is the largest cam-p town I have struck yet. consisting of‘. canvas and log stores and hotels, all put up for the occasion. The whole place is like a shipyard â€" boats of all kinds being built and got ready for the open- ing of the lake. This is expected to occur in about three weeks. I will start at once to put up our boats. UP THE MOUNTAIN SIDE for a mile or more, and it can be trac- ed by a long dark line of closely pack- ed conveyances and animals,etc., slow- ly crawling upwards. This is the White Pass proper, and is not half so difficult, as the Chilcott Pass, which is five miles west of this pass, and can only be ascended by foot. and is very ldangerous on account of the snow ’slides. one of which occurred five days ago, and some fifty persons were kill- ed. I am thankful Idid not attempt the Chilcoot. At the summit we crossed the American boundry, and once more arrived in Canadian terri- tory. Here the Union Jack is floating from a pole, and there is a small detachment of N.W.M.P. and Customs officials camped. Our party are ALL IN GOOD HEALTH and living well. Our menu comprises pork, ham, canned beef, beans, com- pressed potatoes and onions, oatmealfi flour, condensed milk, butter, dried apples, apricots, peaches, tea and cof- fee. -At every good camping place along the trail a. canvas town is form- ed by the travellers’ camps, while the supplies are moving along to the next stage. This place. called Log Cabin (because there is one log in it), has about 800 tents, and is about two miles long. I expect there is a tre- mendous crowd at Lake Bennett. A great many people are giving it up and turning back. I hope to get an op- portunity to mail this at Bennett, where I believe there is some sort of mail serv1ce. AT THE SUMMIT - and we are camped 14 miles beyond that point, at Log Cabin, within nine miles of Lake Bennett, where we will build boats and take to the lakes from there onward. Trails are rapidly breaking >up, and from there to Bennett is al- most. impassable for horses; so we are 'considering the idea of selling the horses and buying dogs and pushing on by dogs and hand sleds. If the weather continues warm we will cer- tainly have to abandon our horses. The trail from the Summit to Log Cabin is good, and we will have our outfit hauled here in about five days. The trip from our last camp to the summit was rather adifficult one. the hills, although not rocky, are long and steep, and only small loads can be taken. The scene on these hills is a very interesting picture. and we are sorry we did not have a kodak to take a number of views. Standing on the canon, half a mile below the foot of‘ the Summit hills, and looking upward, 4 one can see the trail winding. I gular. 1‘. went to Shane! to-dey and bought another horse and sled. and I hope to make better time now. Our sleighs are breaking badly. so I start- ed toâ€"day to make another one; so I expect it will take us i .‘ TWO OR THREE DAYS more to move on to our next cache. eight miles off. ’ April let-We are new camped with- in four miles of the Summit. and are. moving our supplies forward as quickly as we can. 'We made this stage without any particular diffi- culty or mishap. if I except the fact that I got up to my neck. in the river and on one occasion was run into by a loose sled coming down the hill while I was going. up with 100 lbs. pack on my back. The sleigh caught me on the shin and laid me up for ashort time but a reasonable amount of swearing at the owner of the "sleigh and an ap- plication of vaseline to the injured' part. has enabled me to go on with: my packing again. 'W'e are packing: our goods up a steep hill. and thence send them forward by horses; trail is bad and we have to loacg light. so will probably be here for aweek.
