When. the cellar 1si ter) warm and

tew cabbages for family use .try put -
dug them in a barrel out of doors.
Put a headless barrel into the
zround, leaving the top slightly
above the surface, and put in the
.lose trimmed heads. Leave room]
dnough at the top to put in a little
21ean straw or hay ----or papers—and.
spread an oilcloth over it or some
boards to keep the rain out.
It does not harm even if the cab-
hage freeze, and you can open your
cache any time in winter and take
out a head.
But one may say: "Oil, that's no
good. I've tried it and they all
rotted."
The answer to that is, "You may
have tried it, but you didn't do your
work carefully." Failure will follow
shiftless disregard of rules.
In following any such plan use a
little good horse sense. Yell must
plan to keep water out of the barrel,
so let it be tight enough to keep out
seepage. Then so fill up and level

away from the barrel. Another
point is that the cabbage must be
carefully trimmed, removing every
broken or decaying leaf and putting
in only sound, smooth heads. if you
put in. any rubbish you not only in-
vite decay, you make it certain.
It is well to put a few sticks in the
bottom to leave an air space. And
do not try to see how closely you can
pack them, but rather lay them in
loosely and so place them that there
w'Jll be air spaces all though.
If you aim to keep the frost out it
will require considerable covering.
and if you do that you will be likely
to make your cache too warm and
that will induce rot. The best way is
to plan to keep the cabbage close to
the freezing point and far bet of
have it frozen than too warm. But
if it freezes it must be kept frozen,
for it will never do to have it freez-
ing and thawing out a half dozen
times during the winter.
After the cabbage is in and you
ha,ye filled up the top of the barrel
with a little clean straw or hay,
rounding it up in the centre, t i,en
put over a pieces of oilcloth or heevy
canvas. This is to turn off the water.
Have it large enough so that all of
the dripping will be outside the bar-
rel. Then turn a square box over it
and it is done. The box should be
just big enough to hold the elothin
place.
Barnyard Manure.
Barnyard manure has value on the
farm aside from that as a fertilizer.
It improves the physical conditions of
the soil and makes it easier to
handle. Its decay produces heat and
its presence aids chemical and bac-
terial processes, Moreover, it ab-
sorbs and holds a large amount of
water and helps to aerate the soil.
The benefits of these indirect aids to
plant growth are i i some cases worth
as much as the fertilizing power of
the manure.
When it is added that barnyard
manure is worth perhaps $2.50 a ton
and that eaeh farm animal produces
from five to seven tons per 1,000
pounds of live weight each year, it
is easy to see that as a fertilizer the
material should not be wasted.
The best practice ctisto haul the
a is
stuff directly from the barn to the
fields. If this is done there is little
loss through fermentation or leach-
ing.
Marketing and Co-operation,
It is not enough to grow a good
Crop or even to grow a good crop, at
low cost. To make a big crop a
business success it must be disposed
-of as efficiently as it is gt wn--must
be so graded attd packed as to meet
market tandards and so marketed
as to bring the farmer the highest
current price. The farmer who is
too suspicious to get together with
his neighbors in order to do co -open
atively what no ono can do alone is
sure to pay dearly for his incapacity
for team work.

Eugland as the mother, and Canada
as the eon,
And proud of the deeds they have
fought and won
Tee,
it was Ypres, where the battle e
raged higl;,
And we left on the field many heroes
to die.
It was not by their shells, but by gas
we all know,
That choked anti Mtn tltd us valets
ever we'd go,
But they hung to the treuchtill they
dropped down with pain,
And the shells burst around then, yes
time and again,
We move not then, they were game
to the core,
They stood in defiance, and ready for
more;
But are proud, we can say, we fought
side by side
With our brave Highland teddies, to
try stem the Hun tide.
But they poured down upon us, now
words cannot tell,
For around old St. Jean it was simply
like .tell;
Now Ypres in the distance was shelled
night and day,
And the fire from the buildings show-
ed the dead as they lay,
A hard struggle at hand, and every
man they could find,
When the cry of a general soon passed
through the lines,
"For God'e sake hang on, men, it's
the key to the West!"
And the boys from dear Canada they
sure did their best.
Although it proved costly the situa-
tion was saved,
And those that have fallen were rank-

They have now left a name that will
stand good and true,
For they died whil'et defending the

WOUNDS IN TREES.
Dressed and Healed by the Action of
the Plants Themselves.
When a bullet or any foreign body
penetrates a tree not sufficiently to kill
it the wound cicatrixes almost in exact-
ly the same way as a wound on the hu-
man body heals. If it did not destruc-
tive microbes would enter and cause
decay of the tissues.
"Trees," writes Henri Coupin in Na-
ture, "are very well equipped for heal-
ing their wounds, and, more fortunate
than we, an antiseptic dressing is al-
most automatically applied. As soon
as the lesion has taken place the siege -
table reacts to the wounded spot. Its
breathing at this point is quickened
and at the same time protein mutters
are rushed to the scene.
"Many plants are provided with se-
creting canals filled with more or less
gummy substances, which are instantly
poured out over the wounded surface
and protect it. This is true especially
of the conifers -pines, firs, etc. -of
which the resin makes a swift and inn
permeable antiseptic dressing."
In trees that have little or no resin
the wounded part turns brown. This
is due to the appearance of a juice that
seems to be a mixture of gums and
tannin. And the cells of the tree start
into activity, proliferating and filling
up the cavity with new eelis. If the
wound be large these take the form of
vegetable ' cicatricial tissue, whish
makes a plug and remains as a scar.
'In the event that the wound be ,con-
fined to one of the 'limbs of the tree it
•not infrequently happens that the limb
becomes dead and drops off, the wound
healing and leaving the tree in nowise
the worse for the loss of the absent
member.
11i[ining' in Br1tis3i Columbia.
Mining, which, after all, should
be perhaps the greatest industry of
British Columbia, is beginning to
come into its own. There are dozens
of big mines, copper, zinc, silver, not
to speak of coal, which are steadily
producing, and doing so quietly with-
out any band wagon • methods. But
there are signs that the investing
public is getting into a receptive
mood•in regard. to mining. Hitherto
British and Uxtited States capital has
corralled most of the best paying
propositions, while local capitalists
have been asleep or indifferent.
The investing public is getting
into a receptive mood in regard to
mining. There is Still plenty of
money 'left in the Province for legiti-
mate investment, and given a fair
deal, money will be forthcoming. The
investing public of this ,province has
cut its' investing eye tooth and will
demand fair treatment from the pros-
pectors, insisting that they be sure of
their ground when• looking ,for pros-
pective buyers, and wiil'expect fair
treatment from corporations. When
a corporation places its securities in

AHEAD OF THE GAME.
When yon break even on your
beeves you are ahead of the
game provided you save the ma-
nure, especially if you have kept
hogs following the cattle. "Sav-
ing
Saoing the manure" doesn't mean
saving merely •one-third or one-
fourth. It means saving 70 per
cent or more. liquid as well as
solid. The problem of keeping
live stock with profit is largely
a matter of mailing use as silage,
roughage or bedding of stuff that
is wasted on the average farm.
Weeds and weed seeds, usually
counted worse than nothing, may
be put on the right side of the
ledger by means of a few sheep.

CONTROL INSECT PESTS.
Kansas State Agricultural College
Gives Advice to Farmers.
The entomologists explain that most
of the insects in the winter season are
in a state in which they are readily ac.
essible to control and that generally
..he best methods of control are con-
ducive to better agriculture regardless
of whether the insects are actually
present. This is particularly true of
means employed in exterminating the
etaple crop insects:
"The staple crop insects -the field
crop pests -spend the winter in all
stages," says James W. McColloch, as-
sistant in entomology in charge of sta-
ple crop insect investigation -"that is,
one group of insects may live through
the winter as adults, another may i'i-
aeruate as larvae, and still another
,uay exist in the egg stage."
The chinch bug, states Mr. McCol-
loch, spends the winter as an adult in
clump forming grass, such as blue
stem and bunch grass. Burning grass
is a good practice.
The corn ear worth winters as a pupa
In its pupal cell from two to six inches
below the surface of the ground. The
"flaxseed" or Hessian fly pupa may be
fouiid in early sown or volunteer wheat
or in *heat stubble. They are under
the sheaths of the wheat stock.
The grasshopper remains in the egg
stage throughout the winter. The eggs
are in capsules at a depth of from one -
halt to one inch below the surface of
the ground along the roadside, in al=
falfa fields and iu almost any unculti-
vated laud.
Corn bill bugs pass the winter as
adults in tbe taproots of corn plants.
"Int combating the Hessian fly the
most important thing, and the one the
experiment station has always placed
stress upon, is the destruction or all
volunteer wheat," says George A. Dean,
professor of entomology. "Four things
are emphnsized: (1) the thorough prep-
aration of the seed bed, t2) destruction
of all volunteer wheat, (3) late sowing
and (4) co-operation,"

Advice To Potato Growers
Late blight and potato rot caused
considerable damage last season to
the potato crop particularly through-
out the Eastern section of the contin-
ent of America. In many instances,
the loos amounted to 25% of the total
crop, and more in certain localities.
In consequence, farmers were induced
d
to part with their potatoes more read-
ily this winter owing to the high
prices paid for this commodity for
domestic use. This, it is probable,
will result in the scarcity of superior
seed, eince the general practise is for
farmers to use for that purpose the
remainder of their potatoes in storage
towards spring. Seeing that the crop
Was much diseased at the commence-
ment of the season and considerably
affected by storage rote, and with all
or most marketable potatoes sold far
table use the quality on hand for seed
purposes will be very inferior, when
the time for planting comes.
We would, therefore urge farmers rz
to immediately reserve for seed par -
poses the quantity, and a little more rese
to make allowance for further losses
