drawn up around the stalks as they
growto 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 cultivate the
soil (Atari around the corn. for ex-
pert growers claim that the crops
eOrit and cabbage faster and better
when plenty of cultivation is given.
CABBAGE. Cabbage is one of the
most widely grown vegetables. The
cabbage plant requires a supply
of moisture, and yet if the cab-
bage soil is too wet the plant will
be injured. Cabbage does particu-
larly well on now land, and somo
growers claim that the cabbage
grows without an abundant supply of
manure in tbe soil better than many
other vegetables. It is 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 sail 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 rimy be watered
after they have been set. One of the
most important features of growitag
cabbage consists in the e attention
given to cultivation of the soil. There
may'be some occasions when the head
will split, this may be stopped or
prevented if the head is taken in
the hands and turned forcibly trona
one side to another.

CAULIFLOWER. The cauliflower
1r -treated in much the same way as
cabbage, the plants being grown and
set out in the same manner outside.
They are treated practically the same
as cabbage until it is noticed that a
little white lower has commenced to
grow. The dry leaves of the plant
should be brought -together at the
top and tied with a piece of string so
that these little white flowers are pro-
tected from the rays of the sun and
the rain. All cauliflower heads
should be treated in this manner
when they are about two itches in
diameter.
BRHSSEIS SPROUTS. Brussels
sprouts are perhaps the most hardy
of the cabbage family. If it is im-
possible to secure brussels sprouts
plants a few seeds may be planted
about May 15 at a depth of about one
incb. 'These should be transplanted
to the permanent bed about the 15th
of June. They should be set eighteen

killed and an equal number of cas-
ualties. Thus the Kaiser's armies
have been reduced by about 70.000
men since the drive began, on June
7th. .
It is unlikely that the Prussians
will make a serious :stand on the
Ypres-Comines Canal. It bas the ad-
vantage of a railroad Paralleling it
on the further side, but, on the other
hand, the British are beyond tbe
canal at Klein Zilebeke and can out-
flank the Prussians from the north.
A retreat five miles further Ls more
likely, to Mertin, which is in excel-
lent railroad communication In sev-
eral directions with Ghent, Brussels,
and other Prussian supply bases In
Belgium, and consequently is mach
more easy to hold.
The danger of such a move, how-
ever, Is that it would uncover Lille
from the north. That great manu-
faduring city is already seriously
menaced from the north-east and
east. where the British lines are
within five miles of the citadel on
the western end of the town,

they are holding tightly to the

the British was voluntary is indicat-

however, already been some activity
on the part of tbe British in the

by them to advance near Dautli was

SUGGESTS IMPERIAL SENATE
House of Lords Favors New Demo-
c,ratic Plan.
LONDON, June 1 9.—It is reported
that when the bill for franchise re-
form, which includes the establish-
ment of woman suffrage, the redis-
tricting of the country and the prac-
tical abolition of plural voting,
reaches the House of Lords an influ-
ential group of Conservatives will
propose a detailed measure for re-
forming the 'Upper Chamber and
making it a quasi -Imperial Senate,
with representatives of India and the
self-governing dominions, while the
number of British peers will be re-
stricted.
Tbe plan really is designed to give
the Upper Chamber a new relation-
ship to the Constitution,- giving it an
Imperial importance,
The plan is supported by a consid-
erable body of opinion which be-
lieves that a democratized upper
body is the ideal basis on which to
build an Imperial Senate in which
all the British Empire would be re-
presented whil,e eimultarteously pro-
viding an excuse for continuing the
existence of the Upper Chamber and
giving it a real held of usefulness.
Many believe that otherwise the
House of Lords will not survive long
after the war. '

Western Canada's Growtb.
liVitlx the exception ot Deena,
none of the larger cities of the
Prairie Provinces has much reason,
for complaint concerning increatte in
population as shown by the quin-
quennial census taken this year. The
figures are published In the curreat
issue of The Census and Statistics
Monthly. Since 1911 Winnipeg has
increased its population, In round
figures. from 136,000 to 163,000:
Brandon from 13,800 to over 15,000;
St. Boniface from 7,000 to 11,000;
Moose Jaw from 14,000 to 17,000;
Saskatoon from 12,000 to 21,000;
Calgary from 43,000 to 56,000; Ed-
monton and Stiathcona from 36,000
to 53,000; Lethbridge front 8,000 to
1,500, and Medicine Hat from 5,600
to 9,200. Regina was credited in
1911 with 30,000. This year its po-
pulation is placed at 26,000. It is
the only city to show any decrease.
Possibly there was some "padding"
during the boom times of 1911, when
census figures were used to sell real
estate. When it is considered that
thousands of men are absent at the
front and 1.1`a.t this is a year lacking
in all the boom elemente the growth
in the population wbich the census
shows may he regarded as a conser-
vative indication of Western Cana-
dian development during the past
five years.
Gallant Canadian Chaplains.
Canadian chaplains have won a
place for themselves on the Somnae.
Two nave already been decorated aud
several others have been recommend-
ed. Field ambulance officers pay
great tribute to these men of all de-
nominations for valuable help given
in attending -wounded in the rush
that inevitably follows an. attack. One
of the mostremarkable stories of de-
votion yet is that a wounded officer
tells of Canon Scott. He says: "One
of his sons was the first officer killed
in leading an attack on the Regina
trench. Waves of Canadians swept
over where he fell. The fortunes of
war caused us to retire and in the
meantime young Scott's body was
buried with the others. Later on the
Canadians captured Regina trench
again, this time to hold it. Canon
Scott's duties took him into this
