This is one of the neglect- ed products for which there is a quick sale. Many prefer it to the oyster, whose flavor it has a hint of, with all the disagreeable features of the bi- valve flavor left out of it. It can be cooked in many ways. As a soup, served with bread or crack- ers, it ie delicious. Fried, either by itself or in a batter, it is quite as ap- petizing as, the real oyster when cook- ed in that way. Boiled, sliced lengthwise, wben ten- der and fried in butter. like the par- snip, it soon becomes a favorite. Especially is salsify a valuable addi- tion to our somewhat limited list of winter vegetables, because it can be dug in the fall and stored in the cellar, OL' it cau be left in the ,ground over winter and dug in the spring. witen it will be found deliciously fresh and of fine flavor. The culture of this plant is of the simplest. It likes a rich garden loam made mellow to the depth of a foot and a half. Sow it in rows for con- venience in cultivating and keep down the weeds. If the seedlings stand too thick in the rows thin them out so that the plants will be at least tWo inches apart. Sow quite early in the season. Watch the catalogues of reliable seed houses for novelties. The Trophy marked a new era in ton:Lathes and was really the first with smooth ex- terior and solid inside. We had had smooth tomatoes before, but they had big seed hollows inside, and all that we had with solid meat were exceed- ingly rough, like the mammoth Chihua- hua. But the production of the Trophy was a success because it put this solid tomato inside a smooth skin, and ever since it has been the effort of breed- ers to keep it there. The best efforts of the breeders should now be devoted to the maintenance of the earliness of the extra early sorts. with increased smoothness. This has been attained in tbe Earliana, Globe, Success and others. Then there are the cucumbers of which every seedsman bas his special strain. Of these I have found that there is nothing better than the com- bination of the White Spine and Long Green known as the Davis Perfect. It is longer and slimmer than the White Spine and earlier than the Long Green and, in my opinion, deserves its name. Never follow the fall crop of lettuce with lettuce, for it is sure to be at- tacked by the wilt. This crop needs a change of soil as often as possible. It is easy to raise lettuce in the winter in a room that has an even and moderate temperature. This is better than mid- summer lettuce and sells at fancy fig- ures. Lettuce Is raised with least trou- ble in spring and fall. When soil can be worked en the spring lettuce, radishes, onions and peas sbould be planted in the open garden. All of these can stand con- siderable frost It Is web to put in some early potatoes. The early vege- tables bring big profits. LANDLORD AND TENANT.

Shape of Ears Sears a Relation to the Yield. The superintendent of the Texas sub- station at Temple, after a careful study of the relation of shape of ear to yield of corn. coueludes that slight- ly taperiag parent ears give the high- est yield. This is in accord with the results of experiments at the Ohio ex- periment station, in which extremely tapering ears gave sliglatly higher re- sults than cylindrical ears. High yields were associated with comparatively smooth kernels of slightly more than average depth and of medium horni- ness. The yield increased with an in- crease in the total weight of the ear as determined by slight increase in length, amount of grain and rather marked in- crease in weight of cob. In experitnents at the Ohio and Ne- braska experiment stations it was found that the highest yields were ob- tained with medium to medium long ears. Poorly filled butts and tips were more freouently associated with well filled butts than with well filled tips. The old score card placed much em- phasis on good ailing of butts and tips, but for several years past investiga- tors have been getting away from this idea. It bee been found that these characters when Uglily develop- ed are usually so developed at the ex- pense of more valuable characters, such as yield, constitution, etc. There appeared to be no relation between yield and shelling percentage and cir- cumferenee and width or thickness of Iternel.

Co. of Canada, Limited, Toronto. Good Roads. In an address delivered by Mr. S. L. Squires by the Good Roads Association the other week. he contend e that the decrease in pepulation in rural Ontario is due mainly to the lack of good roads. It is true that in some sections of On- tario farms have decreased in value, but the farmer contends that this is due rather to the labor market than to the poor roads. We believe that better roads would make it easier for the far- mer to reach the towns more frequent- ly, and thus deliver him to a certain extent from the isolation which nearly every farmer has to undergo. Of course, it is desirabl e to have the best roads possible, and the Good Roads Association is deservi ng of much assistance for the work they are doing, but we are inclin- ed to think that radial transportation, the introduction of cheap electric power, will be factors equally as great as the good roads movement for making more attractive the business of agriculture.

'For the first time in many years immigration into Canada, as shown by the final figures for the fiscal year just ended, is now on the decrease. There was a falling off last year of 17,565, or about four per cent., as compared with the preceding twelve months. In Brit- ish and American immigration there was a decrease of 89,399, of which 7,- 920 was in British arrivals and 31,397 in the arrivals from the United States. On the other hand, tbere was an in- crease of 21,834 in the arrivals from Continental Europe and from other foreign countries. It may be noted that the falling off in arrivals was in the class best , suited for Canadian assimilation and for land settlement. The increase in the arrivals from Southern and Central Europe tended to accentuate the preserit labor congestion and consequent unemploy- ment in the urban centres. The total immigration for the past fiscal year was 384,867, made up of 142,622 British, 107,530 .American, and 134,715 from all other countries.
