Yet the Lord is ever looking for any willing ones that He may show Himself strong in their be- half (II Chron. xvi. 9). The Holy Spirit, the same who came upon Sam- son from time to time and who dwells in every true believer. has a greater desire to fill us than any or us can desire to be filled. for it is written. “The Spirit whom He made to dwell in us yearneth for us even unto jealous envy (Jas. iv.‘ 5.

Hon. J. D. Reid. Minister of Cus- toms, has authorized instructions to Prof. Caesar, of the O. A. 0., Guelph, has called attention to a steady decrease in little peach and yellows and such pests. Last year only three thousand trees were taken out, while in 1910 sixty thousand were destroyed. The British Admiralty recently asked the Naval Service Department at Ottawa to see if it could get sup- plies of hazel rod fenders, which are used to protect the sides of the war- ships when they are in dock or coal- ing from tenders. The Department made some enquiry and sent out cir- culars without much success. A no- tice was then given to the newspapers and for several days the Department has been flooded with responses from farmers and others all over the coun- try. Willow rods will also likely be taken. In the minds of many English peo- ple the Canadians of the first continé gent are principally westerners of the cowboy type with just a slight sprink- ling of urbanites, Englishmen who have returned to the Motherland af- ter a short sojourn abroad, and a number of redskins. Some of these impressions are quite correct. For instance, there are a great many Brit- ish-born in the contingent; there may be a dozen full-blooded Indians, but of course there are no “wild and woolly westerners." The majority of the Canadians come from such cities as Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg, Calgary. Edmonton, Vancouver and so forth. There are all sorts of types among the private rankers they call them in Britain. The Indians throughout Canada ' have every reason to be appreciative, 4‘ too, for the liberal disposition of ‘Major-General Lessard and the De- ' partment of Militia in extending : every opportunity to Indians to enlist . in the contingents that are being pre- i pared for the front. I am glad to see ; they are responding well to the call; a and I further hope every young man who is capable and physically fit will T corne out and do his duty. Some interesting episodes can be related as to the determination of men to go and enlist at the nearest regimental headquarters. Some have gone the length of letting their crops go ungarnered rather than forego the Opportunity of proving their patiotism. Equally interested are the women, who were ready to discuss possibili- ties of doing something useful to as- sist in patriotic work of women. They were getting ready to ask the chiefs for a vote of money to pur- chase yarn to knit socks for the soldiers. on the Grand River found me soon in touch with the martial spirit of war, beating in the hearts and minds of even the uniearned. Those who could not read were making'their daily treks to the homes of those who receive daily papers, eager to learn the latest news, which is al- ways cheerfully given and fully ex- plained. . I know the spirit of war is rife on the reserves. While many of us will not be eligible, on account of old age, to enlist, we should go in and drill and form home guards, so as to be prepared for any emergency. I would also advise all Indians to be very reticent and uncommunicative to strangers, and keep a sharp eye on all suSpects, and be ever ready to give information to the civil authori- ties A recent visit to my native home Some day We hope to be able to gratify his ideals of an Indian regi- ment who may be able to compare favorably with the splendid achieve- ments of those. from. India. who are giving such a fine amount of them- selves in France and Belgiur‘. I entertain the hOpe that at no re- mote time the Government of Can- ada will devise means 'to enlarge materially the encouragement of military defence locally among them by establishing their own regiments. Instinctively the Indian is a good shot. To encourage this reasonable grants might be made by the Militia Department towards the establish- ment of local rifle ranges, which both young and old would be only too glad to utilize. Indeed. in this re- gard the time has come when Strl‘iOUS consideration must be given to the matter 0 the escablishment of ranges in every township throughout the country. so that an Opportunity be given to civilians tolearn to shoot. and responsibilities imposed upon our Empire by their'readiness to make sacrifices for her cause. When such patriotism dominates a people there is one regret to be offeredâ€"- that they cannot be all gratified by participation in active service as of old, when every brave warriorwvas free to pledge his fidelity at the war- post with his hatchet prior to the 'I'narch upon the warpath. They have displayed a generous spirit, with motives inspired by no influence other than to show their deep interest and concern in the ad- vent of this new seriousness, and to identify themselves with the cares the colors, says Onondeyeh Loft in The Toronto Globe.

By careful cultivation he can make his half acre of garden pay more cash money than any other acre on the farm. Time was when the farmer content- ed himself with raising grain crops. considering it beneath his dignity to spend time on the garden. If there was a garden on the place it was usual- ly left to his wife and children to pull the weeds and to do any other work that was actually required. No longer do the farmers of the bet- ter class content themselves with rais- ing a few rows of potatoes. calling that their garden. It is not necessary long- er for the busy farmer’s wife to look after these neglected corn and potato spots. for the farmer has come to un- derstand that there Is good money in them. As dwarf trees are the most usual form of orcharding at present and space does not permit of giving all the various methods of planting the differ. ent fruits. the following are a few of the necessary details of which to take account it’ success is to be obtained: Always order the trees from a reliable firm, which means a firm that can be absolutely relied upon to select and ship the best trees which can be rais- ed and are true to name. When the trees are ordered prepare the ground so that they may he set out at once. and let it be understood there is no better {ray of preparing the soil for an orchard “than by using dynamite. ’l A Source of Revenue and Adornmont I: For Gardens.

These dwarf trees when in full bearing should yield from two pecks to a bushel of fine table fruit, if well set. properly selected and the soil carefully prepared. They are the result of work- ing standard varieties on certain small and slow growing types of apple trees. such as the Paradise and Doucin stocks. The former is the best if a real dwarf is wanted. while the latter produces only a half dwarf. The pear is dwarfed when grown on the root of quince. and in setting it out place the trees ten to twelve feet apart. the latter distance preferably. Dwarf ap- ples should he set ten feet apart and the half dwarfs twice that distance. SETTING OUT FRUIT TREES. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE.
