BEETS AS LARGE AS YOUR ARM. iThe edi tor of the "Brown City.Mich igan, Ban ner," ret cently paid a visit id Western Canada, and speaking of .a garden that he saw in the Edmonton District, says: "On August 23rd we had the pleasure of visiting the model seven-acre gar den it Edmonton, owned and operated by one Donald Ross, a typical Scotch man, and as whole-souled, good-natured old gentlemen as you often meet. He gave the Yankees each a hearty handshake as we were intro duced in succession by the Canadian Government Agent, who was our guide and pilot while at Edmonton, and to whom we are indebted for many cour tesies conferred. Mr. Ros3 Informed us that he cleared from $800 to $1,000 annually from the sale of roots, vege tables, flowers and plants. We her state that we never before daw such a growth of vegetables at that season of the year. He said that he raised 750 bushels of onions to the acre. Beets were growing as large as your arm, turnips the size ot one's head, and cabbages as large as a patent pail. Fol lowing are prices that Mr. Ross gave us as receiving for bis produce: Beets, 50 cents per bushel; carrots, 40 Cents; onions, $1.25; ttirnips, $5 per ton; cab bage, 4 cents each; green corn, 25 cents per dozen; tomatoes, $1.50 per bushel; potatoes, 25 to 30 cents; cauli flower, $1 per dozen; cucumbers, 15' cents per dozen; strawberries, 25 cents per box; squash, 4 cents per lb., and other produce in proportion. He kept a hot-house 12x180 feet, heated by a furnace by means of flues. One man beside himself attended this garden, except at time of gathering the crop." Agents of the Canadian Government are now located at different points in the United States, and using their ef forts towards securing settlers on the fertile lands of Western Canada, to which the gold fields are tributary.

The only objection any farmer can have to gunners hunting rabbits in his fields is, he don't want them to kill bis quails, and he wants them to be careful about shooting towards stock. A neighbor had two valuable Angora goats killed this winter by careless gunners. In an adjacent neighborhood I am credibly Informed that some sort of a pest is killing off the rabbits; that many dead ones are daily found. It may be they are mistaken, the dead rabbits are perhaps those which have been wounded and escaped, and after wards died. The neighborhood, how ever, says nb to this suggestion. Renters seem determined not to pay cash for land. They are willing to give a larger share of grain than hith erto. Some are now willing to give half the crop.. The rule hitherto for some years bas been two-fifths in the bushel and crib and half the hay. That is what I have rented for a number of years past I have made careful esti mates and. find that, one year with an other, I have done as well, and some times better, than those who have rented their land for cash. I have had one renter seven years, and he has done as well by his portion ot the farm as I myself would have done. The great trouble with many renters is they hog the land over. It runs down under their hands. The fences, the house, the barn and the door-yard and orchard look as If a very poor widow lived there and had no help whatever. This kind of farming makes the owner harder in his demands than he would be if the renter took a little pride la keeping the place in good condition. I have no use for i slovenly renter. EDWARD B.

Lodeman, Department of Agri culture Report: Training, on the other hand, is almost wholly a matter of convenience. It does not affect the strength of the vine or the value of the crop in any essential particular. The training of a vine refers to the dis posal or arrangement of the various parts of the vine after pruning has taken place. The method of training adapted determines the operator to leave certain growths in certain posi tions, not because more or better fruit is expected, but for the reason, per haps, that the fruit may be harvested with greater ease, that a laborious op eration may be wholly dispensed with, or that there may be less danger to the maturing crop from winds or other nat ural agencies. The method of training adopted by a vineyardlst is largely the result of personal preference or of ed ucation, although soil and variety are important factors in the selection of a system. The health and vigor of the vine are rarely affected by the method In which it is trained, and although some system of training must be adopt ed in every vineyard, still altogether too much weight has been laid by most horticultural writers upon the peculiar merits of the various systems, while the actually ruinous effects of bad pruning have not always been sufficiently em phasized. A vine properly trained is desirable, but a properly pruned vine is essential to the highest success. The importance of this subject necessitates a somewhat detailed statement of the principles which are vitally connected with the proper pruning of the vine. These principles serve also as the foun dation for all systems of training, and they can not be ignored without more or less injury to the' plants. (1) The amount of fruit which a vine can bear and mature in highest perfec tion is limited; when this limit' is ex ceeded the fruit deteriorates. (2) Upon the fruit the effect of over production is to reduce the size of the berries and of the clusters, and prob ably also to impair the quality; the vine makes a poor growth, the foliage is small and the vigor of the plant is generally reduced. When a vine has been allowed to overbear, especially when It is young, .years may some times be required before the vine re turns to its normal condition. (3) A plant that is carrying less fruit than it Is capable of maturing generally produces a very heavy foliage and an excess of wood. This may prob ably be explained by the supposition that the energies of the plant are di rected almost entirely to vegetlve ac tivity. (4) The most difficult and Important feature of grape pruning is to be able to judge of the kind and amount of wood which should be allowed to re main upon the plant. This amount Is dependent upon soil, variety, climate, character of the season, and to a lim ited extent upon the method of train ing. The paramount Importance of having a properly balanced top and root system Is most fully realized by American vineyardists of long; expe rience. Tears of study, especially the study of the variety of grape and of the soil upon which It Is growing, are brought to bear upon each iadlviJual vine when it is pruned, and In no di rection can the akin of tke vineyardlst be awsdw clearly demwonatrated than :n questions regarding the amount and kind of bearing wood that ia allovei to remain. No rale-of-thamb will cov er a living ami sinsUrve hHt- for fes td size, speed and spirit, and in the Second &ficG, the harness and whlf fletrees must be so balanced aUA adj Justed to the load that an even pull will bear equally upon the weight to be drawn. The average plowman Is liable to overlook the importance of this equal adjustment system, and it Is hot uncommon t6 see trie end 6f the uoiible tree to wHlcn the fujrow" horse Is Hitched several inches, often a foot; lower than the other as the team pulls the plow along; this not only adds la bor and friction, but It throws the rnnniner fif the blow 8ut ef balance, making it harden for tne piewmjln afld Impossible for the" best class of work to be performed. Tne whiffletree rjr a they are known. id some, the' dflubre-; trees, should be level when the pull W on aad not cocked up at one end; atwist as li top often the cas. It can all be obviated bjr a proper adjustment of the harness ind by using the larger horse, if there is a difference la size, in the furrow; the iowerlng or raising of trie traces at the breechings and bdekband as the'occasion requlreswill do it, Gettla Wild lioney: . The usual way when a bee tree has been found Is to cut it down, stupeiy the bees with smoke as well as may be, and take their honey, this; of course, destroys all future harvests of sweet from that tree or swarm. Possibly Daniel Johnson, an old bee hunter, of Dedham, Me., has discovered a better way. The bees provided against their tree being cut down and their stores destroyed by selecting a tree which overhung a deep ravine. If the tree were cut down it would fall into the ravine, smashing the tree and destroy ing the honey. So he Inserted a gas pipe from a hollow near the ground, running it Up the tree until the honey was reached. Then he built a fire at the foot bf the tree. So soon as the fire warmed the honey inside, it begin to run down, where it was caught iii pails. It nearly filled a barrel. Mr. Johnson thinks he has a permanent hive of bees on that tree so long as It does not succumb to the effects of fire at its roots. He thinks there is enough honey left to winter the bees, and that next year they will go to work and fill the empty combs. But it Is very pos sible that heat sufficient to melt honey comb bas killed the bees, and that the barrel of honey this year is the last he will get from' that tree.

No advice, however good, can take the place of experience. There is no way that the novice in poultry keeping can become efficient except by experi ence. Many people think they have experience, but later find to their cost that they had not obtained for a num ber of years, has a little touch of poul try diseases, cures the troubles with ease and Imagines that he knows all all about them and that he can fight off anything that comes. When any of his neighbors has a like trouble he cheerfully gives them his advice and knows, or thinks he does, that if they follow the recipes they will have no further trouble. But later he finds that he knew less than he supposed. One of the same diseases attacks his flock again. He tries the old remedies and finds they will not check this new in vasion. The enemy comes on fearless ly and creates havoc in his yards. He now gets a little more experience and perhaps comes down to the old remedy the hatchet. Thereafter he says that there is no cure for this or that dis ease. Is he right? Who knows? We all need more experience and more systematic investigation. ti if: Samiei Pitcher.

Having several patches of these plants in a pasture of two hun dred acres, we know those thistles to be rich in sugar; cut, too, within the spring cattle prefer them as fodder bet ter than rank grass. We have known field mice to climb the main stem, to eat the seed in its capsules. Thistles and grass growing together cut with a scythe in mowing will make excellent bay for cows, increasing their flow of milk; that produces sweet butter. The dry spines being sharp, are very disa greeable to bare hands. When stacked in large barns the saccharine matter sweats vigorously and sometimes fires the stacks by spontaneous combustion. If the sod containing thistles is then broken by plowing, planted with pota toes for two seasons thistles are de stroyed. In Great Britain many per sons use them for edible greens, before cabbage comes. RICHARD BAKER, JR. Place for the Incubators. A cellar is an excellent place for an incubator because it is usually of an even tem perature, especially if the cellar is one that will preserve roots and fruits, but the atmosphere should be pure, which will be the case in winter. Any place will answer for the incubator that is of an even and regular temperature. If the Incubator Is In a room where the temperature changes no harm will re sult, provided the operator watches the lamp flame and does not allow too much heat to accumulate.

A writer who claims to know says: "Bagging grapes cannot but bring pleasure to the owner, especially when but a few vines are owned and the fruit used wholly on the home table. But the bagging of grapes has an eco nomical as well as pleasurable feature to the owner, as It produces choice, clean fruit. Bagging fruit is a sure preventative of grape rot Again, when the newly formed, small grape clusters are covered with a bag and se curely fastened, the depredations of birds and insects will be almost, if not wholly avoided. The latter sting many of the berries and make them wormy."
