Dear Sir and Friend We had a lucky trip, made good connections and got to Wetaskiwln Monday afternoon; stayed there all night, bought a pony and saddle for the boy and hired a three-seated rig for the balance of us, and got home to dinner next day; caught the boys cleaning up and get ting ready to come after us. Wednes day the snow was all gone and we had bare ground and bright sunshine for a month, and it has been pleasant weather ever since. The ground is frozen about two feet and about six inches of snow just enough for good sleighing. We had one cold spell in December. The thermometer went down to 32 below zero, but we did not suffer with the cold at all. We have worked every day all winter, are all well and feeling well; Jiave built a log house 1Sx18, two log stables 16xlS, and are now busy on a well. We have 10 cows, three other cattle and six head of horses. The boys send their best respects to Mr. Huchison, and say they will talk to him enough to pay for not writing when he gets up here; will write you again next spring and tell you all about the winter. We all unite in sending you and family our best wishes and respects and hope this will find you all well. Yours very respectfully, (Signed) . THOMAS TATE, Dahamel, Alberta, Canada. P. S. It has not been down to zero this month, It is 22 above now.

L. Hatch spoke on what can be done to make plant live, grow and bear fruit He said in part: A tree or any plant should have a balanced ration. The soil must be salted to the plant to be grown, and mast con tain the proper foods. Thus, you can't grow apple trees successfully on mack soils. Cultivation should begin early in the season, for it Is early In the season that the tree makes most of Its growth. Every fruit tree and plant should make a good growth every sea son. We should mulch and cultirate our trees every year. I hare found that spring pruning gives better fruit age than at any other season of the year. Later pruning removes foliage that contains growth matter. Water sprouts and those not coming out where wanted should be rubbed off in the spring, while yet in the bud stage. The real winter protection is in so growing the tree that the wood is well ripened and hardened up tc stand the winter. The man that per mits the foliage of his trees to be dam aged by insects or diseases will' have trees with wood only partly ripened, and such will have less power to stand hard winter conditions than will the trees that have had good foliage to ripen up their wood. Q. Do you recommend puddling the roots of all trees before setting? A. Yes, sir. But perhaps I should not say all trees. However, I do not know any other way of getting good capillarity, that is, getting the roots so Intimately connected with the dirt that capillary attraction can operate between them. This does not mean that we should make a thick, heavy mud to hold the roots. Would not you, Mr. Kellogg, puddle your trees before setting? M. S. Kellogg Yes. Q. How deep is It advisable to cul tivate the orchard? Mr. Hatch That depends on how much cultivation the orchard has pre viously received. If it has been always in grass, the roots will be found so near the surface that only very super ficial cultivation can be given; but if the orchard has been cultivated from the first, the roots will be deeper. If I had trees that had been planted for ten years, and never cultivated, I would not cultivate more than four inches deep. Grass sod in the orchard is very injurious to the trees, especial ly at times of the year when soil wa ter is deficient and trees have to de pend to some extent on the occasional showers. In that case the roots of the grass drink up about all of the mois ture before it gets down to the roots. I have dug up sod in the orchard hours after a good shower and found that not one drop had got within reach of the roots of the trees; every blade of grass was acting as a pump, pumping the moisture back Into the atmosphere. There are multitudes of trees that by reason of the sod beneath them are thirsty most of the time during the growing season. Tou must remember that not a particle of food can enter the tree except by being carried in water; therefore you can starve a tree to death by depriving it of water. The reason that so many orchards in grass are moderately successful is because they get in the springtime the water from melting snow and from spring rains, and for a part of the growing season have all the water they can use. But they remain thirsty for a large part of the season. Q. Can't you extend the season of ."Jltivation if the cultivation is light? Mr. Hatch Professor Bailey says that the orchard should jiot be culti vated after midsummer. Q. Can we make trees bear alter nate years? Mr. Hatch es. If the trees are go ing to bear this year we can prune a part of them and prevent them from bearing a crop this year; they will then probably bear next year. Superficial FaraiiBK There is a time in the history of every country when superficial farming pays better than any other kind of farming, or at least that is the opinion we hold without giving the assertion a systematic investigation. That time is when inhabitants are few and the rich lands free and abundant. The land is pastured over superficially, plowed superficially and cropped over superficially. The results are satis factory. The new settlers, living in log cabins that cost nothing but labor, pay no taxes to speak of, and find it possible to get all the clothing and other necessities from the products of their own lands or flocks or herds. With all wants abundantly supplied there is no inducement to do anything but superficial farming. The fathers transmit their methods to their sons, and they to succeeding generations, and that mode of farming becomes fixed. In time the methods come to be regarded as "orthodox" for all con ditions. Meantime people become more nu merous and land scarce. Populations crowd each other and the value of land rises. Taxes multiply, and the farm expenses become items of the first consideration. It is evident that new problems have arisen that the old-style farmers cannot solve. The customs of generations, however, prove strong, and the multitude of farm owners will bang to them, even to the point of seeing their farms slip away into the hands of the mort gagors. Superficial farming must be discard ed. It is not in accordance with the changed people and times.- It cannot give revenue enough to meet the obli gations that the new conditions im pose. Superficial tillage must give way to intensive tillage. Superficial pas turage must give way to a system of pasturage' that utilizes the soil to a foot in depth instead of to a depth of two or three inches. Superficial op erations of all kinds must be aban doned except In the far West, where lands are still cheap and conditions of life are primitive. The- wise .farm er will be willing- to sell a part of his Immense farm and use the capital thus obtained to operate in a more intensive manner the smaller area of land re maining. Feedbaa; Fat lato Milk. The New Zealand Dairyman, com menting on the attempts to feed ft Into milk,-says: In 1874-77 the great German investi gator Keuhu, feeding cows on palm nut meal in particular, and also malt sprouts, peanut meal and' cotton ted , .. & ai &.-- I meat, conciuueu inai iobw ream la creased directly the amount of fat in the milk, and for a tint these state ments were hardly disputed. In 1871 the same learned Investigator, alter further experimenting, changed his views and wrote: "The system of feeding is only of secondary import ance for milk production; the yield ot milk Is primarily dependent on the de velopment or productive capacity ot the milk glands ot each cow, and even with changes from light to heavy feed' the supply does not increase in propor tion to the nutriment supplied. The same holds true where the farmer alms to Increase any single component ot milk as fat since it is not possible to obtain a one-sided increase of this or any other component in the milk by changes In the system of feeding. No such changes can, at any rate, be reached as of practical importance." But this plain statement from one ot the most careful investigators the world has produced was not accepted as final, and scientists have worked over the question again and again in a multitude of waj-3. Perhaps the best illustrations ot how they have started and how they came out of the investigations in many cases was by Patrick at the Iowa sta tion. This investigator fed one lot ot his cows heavily with sugar meal, a by product of the glucose factory, giving to another lot a lighter feed of mixed grain; then the conditions were re versed. Analysis showed apparently In some cases that the cows bad in creased as much as .5 of one per cent butter-fat, and the conclusion of the investigator was that sugar meal was one of the feeds which would surely Increase the fat percentage of milk. But all the cows on the trial did not increase the fat in their milk, and to pile up more data another experiment was undertaken with sugar meal as one of the feeds. This time there was no increase in fat, and the investigator ceased bis contentions that sugar meal fed to cows would put fat Into their milk. Apple Mag-sot. One of the worst pests that the apple grower has to fight is the railroad worm, called also the pulp worm, and the apple maggot, says a communica tion from the Vermont Experiment Station. The fruit growers of Ver mont are unanimous in giving this insect the first rank among their in sect enemies. It Is worse than the tent caterpillar. That can be entirely overcome by spraying, whereas spray ing has no effect on the railroad worm. The railroad worm, or apple maggot, is the cause of the pulpy, punky con dition of the apples as we find them now In the stored fruit and in that of fered for sale. The eggs are laid Just under the skin of the apple by a small fly. This fly begins her work in June and keeps it up pretty much all sum mer, so that there may be worms ot all ages in the apples. She has a strong preference for sweet apples, and has practically 'ruined the crop of Tal mans last year. Still she works in all varieties, sour as well as sweet, and causes hundreds of dollars' loss to the fruit grower. The authorities at the Vermont Experiment Station frankly admit that no satisfactory way of deal ing with it has been discovered. They say that considerable good can be ac complished by keeping hogs or sheep in the orchard to pick up the windfalls. These windfalls are usually full of apple maggots, and the hogs digest them out of existence. Experiments are being made at various places in the United States, and we hope event ually to know some more effective way of dealing with this pest. But for the present we must rely on the practice of destroying the windfalls. Tillage Value of Subsoil. The value of the subsoil for tillage purposes must always depend on its local character. It is therefore mani festly impossible to give advice for its treatment that can be generally applied. As we use the terms, there is a great difference between soil anfi subsoil, but this difference varies so greatly that in some cases the term subsoil is almost identical with the term soil. The soil is that part of the ground lying nearest the air, and Is composed of pulverized rock, humus, animal remains and minute particles of still undecayed egetable matter. Being nearest the air the elements of the air, which tend to break up the rocky material in which fhe plant food is bound up, can operate. The frosts take hold earliest and remain longest. The subsoil is that lying below, and consists generally of rock, with little vegetable matter, and little opportuni ty for action by the frosts of winter, the heat of summer or the elements ot the air. There are, however, excep tions in some of our prairies, and wherever the soil has been deposited to great depth by action of water in swamps and rivers. There are subsoils that may, by deep plowing, be incor porated with the soil to great advan tage, since their texture is similar, and since they contain both some veg etable matter and mineral elements set loose by chemical action. When it is possible to use such soils for cul tural purposes, unuerdraining will bo found to make them more available. In many localities the subsoil is so heavy that its incorporation with the surface soil would prove a detriment. Extermlaatmsj Elder Bashea. About the only complete way Is to grub out every bit of the roots. Cut ting them on certain days In August, or in particular phases of the moon I never paid attention to. But I would not destroy them all, says Samuel Mil ler in Rural World. Let a little patch of them stand for family use. The leaves when bruised are a cure for a gall The blossoms dried make a me dicinal tea, andijelly of the fruit is an excellent relief tor a cougn. a m Fpoonful ot it dissolved in a tumbler of hot water will give great relief when the throat is sore and there is hoarseness.

Flavor some fon dant with vanilla and roll into small tialls. Let stand a while to harden. Melt In a double boiler or saucepan placed in another containing hot water, a quarter of a pound of best unsweet ened chocolate. Add two tablcspoon fuls of cream, a teasponful ot butter and a few drops of vanilla, and if de sired sweet a quarter of a cup of. sugar. Keep the chocolate warm by letting it remain over the hot water. Dip the cream-balls into "the chocolate. Piace on waxed paper till cold.
