As Scotsmen do not sufl‘er by comâ€" parison with Englishmen, neither will Canadians sufi‘er by compari- son with Americans; in fact, he may even wish with Desdemona “that heaven had made all men such men,” and blot out the reference from his speech forever.

Canada is the north part of Am- erica, as Scotlz‘ind is the north part of Great Britain. James J. Hill said America would yet. he ruled north of the. St. Lawrmce. Scotsmen oc- cupy a proud position in the British nation and in the world. It is largely due to .their splendid prin- ciples as individual men and as a nation. Andrew Carnegie is one of the very best specimens of the Scotsman abroad. He is a genuine lover of everything Scottish. but ‘ne delivered a speech to a St. An- drew‘s Society.

Those Canadians who have taken their part in the war have proved that to whatever extent fearlessness and bravery on the battlefield means true manliness, they are possessed of it to as great an extent as the men of any nation, past or present. To be a Canadian will mean that. you are a citizen of no mean country. “Clap in his cheok a Highland gill, Say this is Royal Geordie’s will, And theres the foe; He has nae thought but tum to kill Twa at a blow."

It will not be amiss, i'ierhaps, to say we can meet the situation in part by the exercise of greater economy. None of us wish to be classed as wasteful or extravagant. nevertheless. there is a lack of economy that will later be revealed. It behooves every man engaged on the farms to produce all he can, and residents in towns and cities will help in the situation by the culti- vation of gardens and back yards to add to the food supply. Every bushel of potatoes will be a help, and every bushel of vegetables grown in the back yard will reâ€" lieve, in part, the. strain on the general agriculturist. There is no use in closing our eyes and refus- ing to see the situation in its pres-w ent seriiimsness; we must work now if we wish to avert a calamity. The next few weeks must be a period of constant energy to get in as large a «rep as possible. There will posi- tively be no danger of overâ€"produc- tion under the circumstances, and those who produce will be sure of big profits for their labor.

Swiss chard can be grown easily from seed, in rows twelve inches apart, the young plants being thinned to six or eight inches apart. The advantage of this plant is that the leaves may be pulled off close to the root and new leaves shoot up, which may be consumed during the season. The roots are used for greens and the stem of the leaf as asparagus. A few plants should be sufficient for a small tam- BRUSSELS SPROI‘TS. Brussels sprouts are perhaps the most hardy 0f the cabbage family. If it IS 1111.: possible to secure brussels sprouts plants a few seeds may be planted about May 15 at a depth of about one inch. These should be transplanted to the permanent bed about the 15th : of June. They should be set eighteen ‘ inches in the ror» and two feet be- tween the rows. It is well to keep the patch clean, and the surface soil should be stirred frequently. It is unnecessary to,trim off the leaves as . the plants grown in the garden. _-.... â€" ..,.. u CAULIFLOWER-. The cauliflower is treated in much the same way as cabbage, the plants being grown and set out in the same manner outside. They are treated practically the same as cabbage until it is noticed that a little white flower has commenced to grow. The dry leaves of the plant should be brought together at the top and tied with a piece of strin so that these little white flowers are gro- tected from the rays of the sun and the rain. All cauliflower heads should be treated in this manner when they are about two inches in diameter. CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the most widely grown vegetables. The cabbage plant requires a supply of moisture, and yet if the cab- 'bage soil is too wet the plant will 'be injured. Cabbage does particu- larly well on new land, and some j growers claim that the cabbage: grows without an abundant supply of manure in the soil better than many {other vegetables. It is considered a good practice for backyard garden- ers to purchase plants which have been grown in hot-beds or hot-houses and transplant them directly into the permanent bed. This saves consid- erable trouble. It is necessary when setting cabbage plants to set them fairly deep so that they will not be whipped about by the wind. They may be set eighteen inches apart, 3 and there should be quite a good deal of soil around the roots. When they ; are ready to be set out a hole may be made with a dibber or a sharpenâ€" ed stick. The roots may be watered E after they have been set. One of the most important features of growing’ cabbage consists in the attention given to cultivation of the soil. There may be some occasions when the head will split, this may be stopped or prevented it the head is taken in! the hands and turned forcibly from . one side to another. a CORN. In planting corn holes about two or three inches deep should be made with a hoe. Five or six kernels of corn should be drop- ped in this and covered with soil, which should be gently firmed by tramping on it. When the shoots are about three inches high all ex- cepting the three sturdiest should be pulled out. The soil should be drawn up around the stalks as they grow, to give them support. When the kernels on the cob appear full of milk they are ready to use. It is also a good practice to cultivate the soil often around the corn, for ex- pert gmwers claim that the crops corn and cabbage faster and better when plenty of cultivation is given. be pulled up and the tops twisted off close to the head, not cut of! with a knife as in the case of carrots, parsâ€" nips, or salsify, which should have the tops out about one-half inch from the roots preparatory to storing for winter use. a general rule require as‘heavy we; tering as some of the other vegetable props. In the fall the beets should ; BEETS, camwrs, Pansmvs, {AND sans”); 'l‘lni‘~s<5+ include the :most important ltl('lllb€‘l'5 of the root ‘vegetables. They are usually grown for Winter purposes, though beets .and carrots are relished by many in their earlier stages ol‘ growth. All these demand practically the same attention. The seeds should be sown in straight rows at a depth of about three-quarters of an inch. When the plants have reached a height of two inches they should be carefully thin- ned out so that they stand, beets and parsnips three to four inches apart, carrots and salsify two or three inches apart. It will be found that the parsnips are very slow grow- ers, and for this reason it is some- times advisable to plant a few seeds of lettuce with the parsnip seeds so that they will serve as a marker. The young beet plants may be used as spring greens. It is necessary that the soil be cultivated at intervals during the summer months so that the crops may grow. They do not as (By S. C. JOHNSTON, Vegetable Specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) Besides growing many vegetables for immediate use the backyard garden should produce some veget- ables which can be stored for‘com sumption during winter months. Some, of course, do not need to be planted as early as the plants which were described last week. Possibly a week should elapse from the time the lettuce is planted before these should be sown.
