Specialist. Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Tonna. it
Besides growing many vegetables
for Immediate use the backyard
garden should produce some veget-
ableat •which can be stored for con-
sumption during winter months.
Home, of course. do not need to be
planted as early as the plants which
were described last week. Possibly
la week should elapse from the time
the lettroce' 1s . planted before these
should be sown.
BERT'S, CARROTS, PARSNIPS,
AND SALSIFY These include the
most Important members of the root
vegetables. They are usually grown
for winter purposes. though beets
and carrots are relished by many in
their earlier stages of 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 tour 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 as some-
times advisable' to plant a few seeds
1 of lettuce with the parsnip seeds so
t that they will sena as a uiarker. The
young best planta may be used as
spring greens. It te necessary that
the soil be cultivated at intervals
during the summer months so that
the crops may grow. They do not as
a general rule require as heavy wa-
tering as some of the other vegetable
crops. In the fall the beets should
be pulled up and the tops twisted off
close to the bead, not cut off witty a
knife as In the case of carrots, pars-
nips. or salsify, which should bave
the tops cut about one-half inch from
the roots preparatory to storing for
winter use.
cOKN. In piantieg corn boles
about two or three Inches deep
should be made with a t`oe. Five or
six kernels of corn shodld be drop-
ped In this and covered with soil,
which abould be gently firmed by
tramping on IL When the shoots
are ;bout 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 culUvate the
soil often around the corn, for ex-
pert growers claim that the crops
corn and cabbage faster and better
when plenty of cultivation is gluon.
CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the
most widely grown vegetables. The
cabbage plant requires a supply
of moisture. and yet It the cab-
bage soil L too wet the pt;nt will
be injured. Cabbage does particu-
larly well on new land, and some
growers claim that the cabbage
grows without an abundant supply of
manure In the soil better than many
other 'Vegetables. It ie 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,
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 sharpen-
ed stick. The roots may be watered
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 gccasiona when the head
will split, this may be stopped or
prevented if the head Is taken in
the hands and turned forcibly from

FISHING INDUSTRY
•
AIM Wlsolee Becoming ScarceT—Regur
btien 1a KRling May Pre.ervo
Gecilninp industry
Whale fishing, like every other In-
dustry!, has telt the far-reaching
economic effects of the war. Ulycer-
lee, which is useful 111 the manufac-
ture of explosives. Is obtainable from
the oil of the "humpback." " fnback"
sad "sulphur obttom" whales. As
Pacific whale oil averages 4 to 10 per
cent- of glycerine content, with a maxi-
mum 14 per cent., a rise of 10c to 20c
per gallon after the outbreak of war
gave a very pronounced impetus to
whale fishing in Pacific waters.
War Affected Prices
The pursult of whales for oil and
tone has declined very seriously from
the high water mark reached In the
middle of last century. While the
"right" whale has become so scarce
that the price of baleen or "whale-
bone" has rises from 11,260 per ton
is 1836 te about 412,500 'today, the
price of oil, desette the upward trend
caused by the war, has seriously de-
clined from the level of former years.
There Is a tendency to scout the
idea that whales are becoming scarce
but the fact that the whalers are go-
ing further and further afield demon-
strates that the old grounds are be-
coming depleted-' Although whaling
te still a flouristlag industry in certalu
quarters of the globe, these enormous
profits -spell the doom of the whales
unless an international agreement can
be arrived at to regulate the killing.
Economic Folly
01 course, an increasing scarcity of
whales may make the business un-
profitable and, as in New England, the
majority of the heaters may be driven
from the field. Then the whales may
get sufficient respite to enable them
to re-establish themselves. But, leav-
ing the couservation of natural re-
sources to the blind play of economic
forces 1. both dangerous and unsatis-
factory. Not only may It lead to the
utter destruction of an Irreplaceable
resource—as an anirilal species—but
1t builds up a huge industry in the
boom days—when the principal as well
as the interest Is being greedily cou-
@tased—only to be followed by a
wretched decline when large numbers
of men lose their livelihood and ex-
pensive plants rot through lack of use.
CABINET COUNCILS
How British Affairs Etat* Are
Strictly Guards
In England Cabinet Cottecils are
conducted In the strict -privacy, al-
though very occasionally 'important
officials and other outsiders have at-
tended a meeting for the purpose of
giving information or advice on
specific matters while the remark-
able step was tan of inviting Bit
Robert Borden, as --Prime Minister of
Canada, to attend one of the meetings
while he was in England. Otherwise
the most stringent measures are
adopted to secure the inviolability of
('abinet proceettler. Trusted jani-
tors keep wetctr'.tarieide to guard
against the possibility of eavesdrop-
ping, while the very blotting pads are
destroyed after each meeting lest they
should betray anything that has taken
place.
Touching this matter of Cabinet
secrets. by the way. Mrs. Lloyd -George
remarked in a public speech that she,
at least. could not disclose any, since
her husband never told them to her,
but It is well known that other Cabinet
ItillAinisters have not always been
equally discreet lb this connection
it may be f.-cail.'d that the famous
Lady Holland on, e asked, at one of
the Whig consultations at Holland
Hops*, why her husband should not
he Foreign Secretary. 'Why, ma'am,"
said Lord John Russell. bluntly, "they
__ say you open all Holland's letters-"
Mr. Gladstone, on the other hand, was
of opinion that a Minister need have
no secrets from ids wife, and how
nobly Mrs. Gladstone justified his con-
fidence is well known.
Another aid to the preservation of
Cabinet secrets is the ,system of com-
munication between .the members
which Is adopted. This is .effected by
the circulation of special despatch
boxes, and one of the most important
• possessions of each Minister Is the
"key" which unlocks'alt these boxes.
In all memoirs "f Ministers will be
s found constant reference to "sending
round a box," groans at the arrival
of "piles of boxes" from other de-
partments, and so m1. When a Minis-
ter wishes to circulate some memoran-
dum among his colleagues for informa-
tion or comment he does it in this way.
Altogether the ('abinet Is a very won-
derful institution.

Travellers tell us that in Eastern
lands there is a peculiar plant called
the roughing bean. The strange fea-
turq about this plant is that every
once in a while It will ,make a Hound
that is Just like the rough of a human
being. When this plant Is about to
cough, It *hakes all over, and then
tightening up s.9 a man does when
he Is about to sneeze, it • gives a
-*Intent cough, whirti tif fblldWbd by a
little cloud of dust_ Some of our
readers are no doubt asking, "Why
does the plant cough?" This seems
to be the explanation: In the long,
dry heat which prevails In the desert,
where the coughing plant grows, the
pore. of the plant become choked with
dust, and it would die of suffocation,
but for the fact that a powerful gas
accumulates inside the plant, and
when this •gae has gained sufficient
pressure, It explodes with a sound Just
like a human cough. This explosion
shakes the pores of the plant free
trr,m dust, and thus once more the
corghtng bean is In good health again.
