This practice of allowing private
persons to build ligh.thouses became
very much abused, and was eventually
stopped. One ina,n paid $2,225,000 as
the purchase price of a barren rodk on
which he built a lighthouse.
Of course, the value thdn of owning
a lighthouse lay in the money that was
demanded from passing ships. Sir
Edward Howard, who built a light-
house on Dungeness in 1615, collected
one penny per ton from vessels pass-
ing the lightheuse.

• will no longer spread a five -acre crop 1
over a twenty -acre field, as the net ha
come will not warrant the expeuse.
The farmers of to -day, and more par- '
t y the fruit and Veeetable
growers, have learned several valuable
lessons within the past few years. The
• nest and foremost of these perhaps is,
that intensive farming and rhea soil is
the only line of horticulture that lays.

rticulture That Pays.
As to the first point, it is not my in-
tention to mention it but briefly. In
the Leamington section, where the
scarcity and high cost of manure
makes it ahneet prolxibitive, we must
resort to other means, True, we do
nee a small amount of farm -yard
manero, particularly where we have to
n eelow extremely Intensive forms of
culture, as in the greenhouses and on
our irrigation plots. In the latter we
give au annual application of about
twenty tons per acre, which is supple-
mented with cOmmercial fertilizers.
Where possible a •colter crop is also
sown in the fall which is plowed deem
in the spring. On the remainder of
the land a fall cover crop Is generally
grown, this is plowed down in the
spring and supplemented with own-
mercial fertilizers.
Crop rotatiod is the one that re:
quires, perhaps, the greater considera-
tion, and the proper rotation, to a
great extent, controls the loss from in.
sect pests and plant diseases, While
the rnajority of those before me, I pre-
sume, are fruit growers, a large num-
ber engage id vegetable growing as
well. These two work well together
in a good many localities and on pro-
per soil, especially one that is sandy
in nature; they give us a combination
that Is both profitable and easily
handled. While vegetable growing is
the principle one In our district, a
large number of the growers, have
found that a combination of the two
weeit Welt together, especially the
smaller fruits, such as strawberries,
currants and even peaches, to a very
great extent. As a sandy eoll is not
so well adapted to cherries, plums and
pears, these are very little grown and
are not nearly as profitable as the
aforeMentioned. The perteh trees are
planted out early in the spring on a
soil that has been previously well Prea
"pared. Early tomatoes are then plant-
ed in. the orchard; the cultivation
