This makes a more compact bush that ‘is less subject to winter injury and Cane fruits, including raspberries, blackberries and dewberries, growing under normal conditions, produce strong vigorous shoots from the crowns early in the spring. These beâ€" come the fruiting canes the following year that under ordinary cireumstances is more productive. The caneâ€"fru.t patch should be gone over several times during the latter part of May and in June, pinching back each time the shoots that have reached a height of two and oneâ€"half or three feet. The laterals should then be allowed to grow as long as they will until the beginning of the following season when they may be shortened to a length of from twelve to eighteen inches. If for any reason the new shoo's‘ of the cane fruits have been allowed to become four or five feet tall without pinching, they should not be headed back dur.ng the summer. Such late heading would be liable to force the production of laterals that would not‘ mature well before winter and that consequently would be more subject to winter injury. \ As soon as the fruiting season is over the old canes that have borne fruit should be pruned out, carried off the patch or field and burned. If left during the summer and fall months, they harbor insects and diseases thai spread to the new growth, decrease the next year‘s crop and shorten the life of the plantation. The best and most effective way to deal with the insect and disease probâ€" lems in the caneâ€"fruit plantation is to cut out and burn the old canes imâ€" To turn from crops that require a lifetime for their growth to those‘ which are harvested annually, in other words, to turn from forestry to agriâ€" culture, we find conditions less alarmâ€" ing, but not satisfactory. Canadian agriculture faces many problems: labor, transportation, improvement of social life, etec. From a conservation standpoint, however, the most importâ€" ant question is that of maintaining the productivity of the soil. This is the basic problem, for without soil fertility there can be no agriculture. If we waste this greatest of all natural resources, the prosperity of the farming community and of the nation as a whole is doomed to deâ€" cline. The Soil Fertility Congress, held at Winnipeg on the 14th, 15th and 16th of June, was called to disâ€" euss the best means of combatting the various tendencies that menace Canada‘s cropâ€"producing power., The chief constituent of soil, influâ€" encing its fertility, is humus. This is the organic portion, consisting of parâ€" tially decayed animal and vegetable matter. The virgin soils of the westâ€" )ern prairies are especially rich in humus," derived from the grass through ages of uninterrupted growth and decay. _ Continuous cropping of wheat has very seriously reduced the‘ humus content in older sections and the average yield is declining. Wild plants return to the soil and continuâ€" ally enrich it by their own decompoâ€"| sition, but cultivated crops are reâ€" ’moved. Hence, it is necessary to reâ€" turn to the soil, artificially, matter which will keep the humus content up 110 standard. This is most easily done by the application of barnyard maâ€" | nure. The proper storage of this | manure must be studied, that its valuâ€" able constituents be not leached out and lost. Humus can also be returnâ€" | ed to the soil by plowing under soilâ€" | ing crops, such as clover, or by means of various fertilizersâ€"nitrates, phosâ€" phates, etc. .« sbil fertility is that of a proper rotaâ€" Lion of crops, Au rlants do not reâ€" ! quire the :'gmo substance in the same | proportions, Each crop reacts on the : soil in its own way. If one species is grown continuously on the same area, the soil becomes progressively iless suitable for it. _ On the other It is not merely necessary . that plant food be in the soil; it must be there in available form. Nitrogen, for example, is present in large quantities in the air we breathe. In this form it is useless to most plants, which require it in the form of solâ€" uwble nitrates. Certain bacteria, howâ€" ever, possess the power of obtaining | free nitrogen from the air. Clovers: and other legumes by means of cer-i tain nodules on their roots, are able to coâ€"operate with these bacteria in the obtaining of free nitrogen, which they build up into compounds that are available for other plants. Hence, the plowing under of a crop of clover enriches the soil, To obtain the best results, it is nécessary to inoculate certain soils with the nitrogenâ€"gatherâ€" ing bacteria., The introduction of this system of soil inoculation is one of tfie triumphs of modern agricultural science, Another question which has an inâ€" timate relation to the conservation of Cane Fruits in Summer. % Taking Stock on Canada‘s Fiftyâ€"=Third Birthday Canadian â€" Agriculture mediately after each fruiting season. They have to be remov_ed anyway, and it is fio more expensive or troubleâ€" some to remove them then than later. When this plan is followed spraying seldom need be used for cane fruits. Commercial plantings of cane fruits need thorough cultivation throughout the growing season. In the case of small home plantings, heavy mulching with straw, leaves, cornâ€"stalks, lawn clippings, etc., may take the place of cultivation. This Kelps to keep down weeds, conserves the moisture, keeps the soil cool during the hot sammer months and otherwise promotes the health and growth of the plants. There are still a few farmers who} think that hayâ€"forks are the best and quickest means to get a load of hay! off the wagon into the hay mow. 1 really believe that this is bécause they' have never tried hay slings, or have never seen them used anywhere. ‘ Last summer I helped a neighbor haul hay. We loaded by hand, but had three slings on each load. About eighty rods from us another farmer was making and loading hay with twice the help we had. He unloaded with a double harpoonâ€"fork. When we went to the barn at the same time, we would be out in the field again and about half loaded by the time he was through unloading and backing the wagon out of the barn. We made three trips with the horses and he made anyâ€" where up to fifteen to remove a load. â€"There are some barns, of course, that might not stand a track or the use of a track, and hay slings require a track. A fork works a lot better with a track than without, but it can be used without a track quite well. But if the barn is strong enough to stand it, and is equipped with a track, I think it will pay to try slings. _ Some farmers are using two double harpoon forks for the top of the load hand, if, for example, cereals are roâ€" tated with hoed crops, as | turnips, mange!s, or corn, or with hay and pasture, an opportunity is presented' to kill out the weeds and to return to the soil matters which the cereals have drawn heavily upon. A suitable rotation must be worked out by exâ€" perts for each section of the country. Herein lies the value of the Nlustraâ€" tion Farms, which aim to set up in each neighborhood, through the coâ€" operation of some prominent farmer of the district, a farm where the good results of the most approved methods of tillage may be demonstrated, under the direction of the Governâ€" ment‘s experts. _ The Experimental| Farm is the laboratory where new ideas may be tested; the Illustration Farm is a place on which the methods }which have been proved succcssfull may be placed before the eyes of the farmers of ine district. Outdoor meetâ€" ings are called to inspect the results and the reasons for whatever process may be under demonstration are explained by an agricultural adviser. State of Our Fisheries. The near extinction of some of our most valuable food fishes is a sad story of human cupidity and lack of foresight. The decline of the Fraser i River salmon fishery is a classic inâ€" | stance of this. In the face of repeutâ€" f ed warnings by fisheries experts both ‘ in Canada and the United States, the | wholesale slaughter of salmon has ) gone an year by year. All attempts | to draw up a treaty to regulate the fishery have been frustrated. _ The canning interests of the state of | Washington have put up a consistent | and hitherto successful opposition. *Many of our wild animals have a direct economic importance.

Let her reâ€" member above all to have everything as simple as poss ble and when knowlâ€" edge of what is "the thing" fails her, to use just common sense and good judgment. These will not let her make great mistakes. While it is wise to plan in a genâ€" eral way as long in advance as posâ€" sible, the first definite thing to be done is to attend to the invitations or announcements. Invitations should be mailed at least two weeks before the date of the wedding; announceâ€" and one sling for the bottom to clean up with. I‘ll venture that often there are more pulls with this arrangement than with three slings. There is the argument that, with the slings, it takes time to keep the rope straight. That is true. But when we get to the field the first sling is laid on the rack floor and the other two are hitched straight on behind the wagon. They drag along behind until needed. That wears them out? A neighbor has been doing this for fourteen years with one set of slings and they are still doing duty. which are the support of Canada’s\‘ oldest industry. Present high prices for what used to be cheap furs are leading to intensive trapping and signs of serious depletion are showing as a result. The muskrat, whose pelt before the war fetched about 50¢, toâ€" day may bring $5, and the incentive to trapping it is therefore very great. Though very prolific, there is a limit to its fecundity, and trapping ought to be more restricted in many localâ€" ities. In the fall the skins are unâ€" prime, yet all the provinces, except «New Brunswick, Ontario and Maniâ€" toba, permit fall trapping. especially true of the {furâ€"bearers, The evil is complained of even by some of the trappers themselves. They realize the danger of extinction and would not object to reasonable resâ€" trictions, which would hold in check their more shortâ€"sighted competitors.

A corner of the room, a bay window, or one end of the room if it is not too broad, may be transformed into an appropriate altar where the nuptial vows are to be exchanged. Soft candle light is preferable to bright, garish light, especially before and during the ceremony. The wise bride will avoid such artificial effects as paper wedding bells, stiff arches, bows and streamers of ribbon and so forth.

The wedding refreshments are servâ€" ed soon after the ceremony and the nature of the wedding feast depends entirely upon the time of the wedding.

A beechnut is a pretty small thing, There it lies jn your palm, beautiful with its three corners, sweet aftéer you have bipken its ‘shell; but who would think to look at it that there was anything like power about it? And yet, no scales are large enough to weigh the possibilities wrapped up By the side of a road I used to travel, one day in the long ago a beechnut dropped to the ground. The wind drew a bit of earth over it; dew, rain and sunshine stirred something within it into life, and a little tree sprang up over the spot where the nut had been buried. The slip grew into a sapling. in it Who was it that placed a big stone where the big limbs branched off from the trunk of the tree? No one knows, but the little beech tree was not disâ€" couraged by the weight that had been put upon it. It kept growing, and as it grew it lifted the stone higher and higher until, at the time _when I saw it, it was higher than the head of the tallest man. Who knows but the tree was the stronger because of the load it had to carry ? C A man I know had a dream one day., The thought took possession of him that he could take an old, runâ€"down piece of land not far from his home and make it give him a living. Ah first, Doubt laughed in his *.ce "Oh, you can‘t do it! The other man tried it and falled, Do you think you are any better farmer than he was? . You have a good job, stick to it. You would be ,a fool to drop a certainty for a thing that is away yonder in the future. Why take a leap into the dark? Only fools buy pigs in a poke." Toâ€"day that man‘s little farm is a beauty spot on the face of the world. He has smoothed away the rough places in the meadows; he has made over the house and barn; he has gathered about him some of the best cows and hens and horses to be seen anywhere; and best of all he has given the world an example of what a big idea in the heart of a real man can do. _ Not ten rods down the road a Sneer lmet him.
