Although the taxes have not been heavy enough as a general rule to stop land speculation, Professor Haig states that the town of Castor, Alta", furnishes proof that land speculation can be stopped by means of taxation as owing to heavy taxation there was a wholesale suro render of land held there by specu- lators.

".‘alter Johnson writes in the Mari- time Farm r as follows: I have been interested in the method my brother in Vermont used to grow his market garden crop of green peas. He plows his sod ground in the fall for potatoes, harrows in cow and horse manure. T he next s;ri;;g. just before planting time, he marl-:5 the ground 3 feet apart each way, dropping one piece of potato with two eyes to each hill or cross mark. He then has a man follow with peas, which have been soaked for a day in soft water, dropping not iore than two peas at each two hills apart. fertilizer having been dropped before the potato. The hills are now covered by drawing the loose dirt over seed with the hoe and giving each hill a tamp with the hoe to pack dirt onto seed. Record of How Crops Thrive and Make Money Together The peas and potatoes come up together, a little in peas’ favor. He goes through twice with the cultivator and once with the horse plow or shovel plow. If the peas are not of extra late variety, and season not too dry, they come up enough ahead of the potatoes so the cultivator and shovel plow do not cover them while going through. For spraying the po- tato vines he uses a commercially pre- pared liquid of the bordeaux type, which does not hurt the pea vines in the least. He goes through hte rows twice a week gathering peas for market, mak- ing a good revenue from peas to the acre. The pea vines do not choke the potato vines, and I believe help them, because in the hills where pea vines grow the loam seemed to be much lighter and porous. At potato digging time in September I measured the marketable potatoes; they aver.- aged a bushel to 18 hills, or 268 bushels to the acre, which. considering the season, showed up much above the average. The ground was rather light, receiv- ing only a light manuring in spring, fertilizers put on at the rate of 600 pounds to the acre. The peas did a double service. giving a money crop and at the same time helping along the potatoes. The tubers were the smoothest. I have seen harvested. It seems this method should prove pro- fitable to those raising potatoes by the drill or furrow method. A pine forest is one of the most beautiful features of nature. Of all quiet scenes it is surely the quietest. The harsh sounds of the busy human world, and even the dreamy murmurs of summer, are hushed there; no song of bird or hum of insect disturbs the solemn stillness; and only at rare intervals the niournful coo of a dove, making the solitude more profound, is heard in the deeper recesses. The weary, care worn spirit bathes in the serenity of the silence, and feels the charm and refreshment of its highest life. The trunks of the trees have caught the ripened red of many vanish- ed summers. and are bearded with long streaming tufts of grey lichen, which impart to them a weird, savage ap- pearance; but they are touched with grace by the wild flowers growing at their roots; childhood sporting in unconscious loveliness at the feet of old age. They form long drawn aisles and vistas, like the pillared halls of Karnak. or the Thousand Columns of Constantinople, which 'are indescrib- ably attractive. for they appeal to that love of mystery which exists in every mind; they reveal only enough to stimulate the imagination, and lead it onward to lovelier scenes beyond. Life itself without these vistas of ex- pectation would not be worth living. â€"Rev. Hugh MacMillan. PEAS IN POTATO FIELD A Perpetual Whirligig Camphor is the motive power which drives the device shown in the illus- tration, and it will cause the whirli- gig to revolve for several days, or until the camphor is consumed. The Whirligig is made of a piece of cork, 3% inch square, with a needle stuck into each of its four sides. Smaller pieces of cork, to which pieces of camphor have been fixed by means of sealing wax, are attached to the! ends of the needles. Care should be; taken to keep the needles and corki free from oil or grease, as this willg retard their movement. As soon as' the device is placed in a dish of water it will start whirling and con- tinue to do so as long as motive power is supplied.

The work There are two methods by which {owls may be kept on the garden plot. 11' the plot of land is on the small How to Care For Fowlâ€"Don’t Use Foul Lana 2::de, it will be necessary. to keep the birds confined to their shelters during the time such land is under cultiva- tion; but if there. is a good-sized pece of ground at one’s disposal, and it is desired that the birds shall ac- count for hatchable eggs in season, then one portion of such ground may be run over whilst the other portion is being cropped. In adopting this method, the house and scratching shed should be erected at the south end of the plot. and the latter should be divided by means of wire netting fixed to suitable stakes, a boarded fence two feet high being fixed to the stakes to prevent the birds from becoming restless through being unable to get at the produce on the other side, a thing likely to result 11' they were allowed to see such produce. By hav- ing the house provided with two out- lets, the attendant would be able to let the birds out into the run it is intended they shall occupy. Should the plot. of land be in area, say; twenty yards square, then it is a good plan to erect the house and scratching shed in its centre and divide the land into four parts, three parts being put under vegetable cul- tivation, whilst 'the other part is be- ing occupied by the fowls. The birds would be allowed to occupy each plot in turn, the several plots being crop- .ped in rotation. Portable fencing will be necessary when adopting this method, such fencing being of such a kind as to facilitate easy erection around each plot in succession. Many there are who possess good sized plots of garden ground and de- vote them entirely to the use of poul- try. This is a great mistake, and one that, unfortunately, is only discovered when disease incidental to foul land breaks out among the stock. Where a good sized plot of land exists there is no reason why the fowls should suffer through tainted ground, if it is managed on the lines indicated above. \Vhen the birds have rendered the plot of land on which they run unsafe for their health, the spade can be got to work and the seeds sown or the plants put in, and the crops will feed upon the manure, and so sweeten the soil ready for occupation again by the fowls. Fowls run upon land recently cleared of crops breed ex- ceedingly well, the eggs being strongly fertilized and the chicks robust and quick growing. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that the birds have fresh land to run upon, and, in addition, an abundance of insect life to con- sumeâ€"just the thing to invigorate and strengthen the reproductive organs. FOWL 0N GARDEN "LAND A problem is the proper caie of the orphan lamb. If the flock has been badly wintered many ewes will fail to supply the requisite milk ”and will disown their lambs. With such flocks the shepherd’s days are full of trouble. Unless another ewe with plenty of milk can be induced to take the or- ‘phan lamb, the only recourse is cow’s milk. Cow’s milk is not nearly so rich as ewc’s milk, and for that rea- son should not be diluted with water. In fact, the chemists find that ewe’s milk has just about three times as much butter-fat material as cow’s milk. Rlch Milk is One Secret of Shepherd’s Success Use, therefore, the richest milk pos« , Bible. Give it often, warm, and in} small amounts. The young lamb is used to making every hour or so, i and the idea i may is to give from three to five tablesyoonfuls every two hours. .

Much Greater Than Cost of Good to Farmers Farmers have begun to figure the matter of roads a little differently than in former years. When the good roads movement was in its infancy they used to ask themselves, “How much will good roads cost me?” Thanks to the intelligent propaganda of the daily and farm papers, as well as other agencies, farmers are now asxizzg themselves, “How much are bad roads costing me?” According to government experts, the cost of ham. ;...;g a ton of farm produce a mile V'I‘.Lfa :mm seventeen cents, in locali- ties where fairly hard gravel roads (,Lilsi. to thirty-five cents per ton in parts of the country where the roads are in bad condition. On the. other hand, in those Euro- pean countries where hard roads pre- vail, the cost is as low as nine cents per ton per mile. The United States Department of Agriculture estimated that the total haulage expense to American farmers for a year is ap- proximately $500,000,000.
