The grower should so store his seed that no sprouts shall start until after planting time. To attain tuis result I have found no better plan than pitting. I make a trench in the ground about 4 feet wide and 1 foot deep using care to select a location well drained from be- neath ar.d so the water will run away from the pile. The potatoes are paced in the pile as in ordinary pitting so they will be 2 to 2s ; feet above ground. They are well covered with straw and • with about S inches of earth banked over them. Straw or manure should be placed around the pile on the surface of the ground so as to keep it from freezing in order that earth for future The Exeter Times reports that Mr. Garnett Heywood of that town has re- cently completed a small parlor table that consists of 21 varieties of wood and 11,1;0 pieces. The main table is walnut while the decorative parts are of different kinds of wood. The legs are square and contain 646a pieces. They are decorated with a chain pattern, each link being made out of several pieces of wood and fitted into a grove. The sur- face of the table is perfectly smooth and it is a handsome design. The plans neer® drawn and work executed by Mr. Hey- wood, who was two years in making it. INlr.Heywood values the table at five hundred dollars. banking may be obtained. The pile is 6til then left until the covering which has already been put on is frozen nearly through, after which at least 4 inches of good dry straw is placed over the pile and this banked with earth suffi- ciently heav;7 in ke;p the frost from penetrating to the potatoes. The clry straw will form a good insulation be- OF INFANTS tween the two coats of earth. The outer coat wiii not need to be as thick as if placed ir,;.:cediately on the first banking without the straw. The result of so pitting the potatoes is that long after the weather has become warm and the frost has withdrawn from the outer coat the inner coat will still re - aa main frozen and will keep the potatoes from sprouting. About two weeks be- fore planting I remove the potatoes from the pit and etatter thein thinly over the barn or the storage floor where it is light and airy. They will here i send forth short stocky sprouts, so in cutting I can determine which ones are strongest. The sprouts should not be over ?4; inch long, otherwise they are likely to be broken off in handling. When planted with such stubby ehoots they give very best results in making a stand. --Corr.

Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, purcliasoda bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for his boy who had a cold, and before the bottle was all used the boy's cold was gone. Is that not better than to pay a five dollar doetor's bill? For sale by all dealers. The looser the snow as it lies on the ground the greater its power to protect Vegetation beneath it, according to German scientists. Cholera infantum begins vsith a pro- fuse diarrhoea, the stomach becomes irritated, and in many cases vomiting and purging set in. The child rapidly loses flesh, and is soon reduced to great langour and prostration. Cholera infantum can be quickly cured by the use of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry. Mrs. David A. Cleve- land, Apple River, N.S., writes:—"Last September my little boy, four years old, and little girl, two years old, were taken one afternoon with vomiting spells, and in a few hours they had cholera infantum. I had lDr. rowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry in the house, and commenced using it. The cholera got so bad the next day, they passed nothing but blood. I kept on using the medicine, and in a few days they were cared. I always keep a bottle in the house, as I don't think there is anything better for summer complaint than Dr. T'owlcr's Extract of Wild Straw- berry." Some dealers may try to sell yen something else, but for the good of your child's health, insist on having "Dr. :Fowler's." It has been on the market for over sixty-five years, so you are not using a new and untried remedy. Price 3v cents.

The Herald is asked to settle a dis- pute as to which country covers tht' the United area - Canada or . t States, the latter not including the Philippines. We have never before heard it dis- puted that Canada is the larger coun- try territorially. Latest returns give this country's area as 3,745,574 square miles. The United States, not includ- ing Alaska and dependencies, covers 1 3'026,789 square miles, so that if the U. S., without Alaska, were placed u pon Canada, British Columbia, Alber- ta, and one.third of Saskatchewan would be left uncovered. Including Alaska, the Philippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and a few scattered Islands in the Pacific Ocean, statistics give the United States an area of 3,743,344 square miles, still less than the area of Canada. Strictly -speaking, the United States lays claim to about 3,642 square miles, as against Canada's 3,745,574. Canada is, therefore, much larger than the U. S„ fifteen times as large as France, twenty of Spain, more than sixteen times the size of the German Empire, and more than twenty-five times larger than the British Isles. ;kin Soft es a Child's. "1 was a great sufferer from eczema and salt rheum for years," writes Mr. John W. Naas, Lunenburg, N.S. "Five years ago three boxes of Dr. Chase's Ointment cured me and the old trouble never returned. My skin is soft as a child's now, and I shall always say a good word for this Ointment." More Facts for Sir James. (Toronto Globe.) The sale is reported of a farm in North Toronto, owned by Mr. Nicholas Garland, for $400,000. The assessment of the land is 821,000, or a little over a twentieth of the sale price. The obsolete assessment law of Ontario, which Sir James Whitney refuses to modernize, permits and even encourag- es this system. The man who holds a large tract of vacant land on the out- skirts of Toronto waiting till it ripens for speculative sale or for actual use as building land is permitted to call it farm land and to pay taxes upon it at a ridiculously inadequate valuation. The citizen who goes out to the out- skirts, buys a little bit of land, and builds for himself a modest hoace is taxed to the hilt. If he paints his house or adds a verandah up goes the assessment. And all the time the men who hold their land for the increase of value that the building operations around them and the growth of popula- tion create sit practically tax free. When will His Obstinacy the Premier of Ontario see the first faint gleam of light on the taxation question? Surely the people who gave the value to Nich- olas Garland's farm have a right to a reasonable share of that value-- in the form of taxes. When you have a bad cold you want the best medicine obtainable so as to cure it with as little delay as possible. Here is a druggist's opinion: •I have sold Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for fifteen years," says Enos Lollar of Sar- atoga, Ind., "and consider it the best on the market." For sale by all deal- ers. Root Culture. In a paper read before the Senate Com- ` mittee on Agriculture and Forestry,Mr. John Fixter, Farm Superintendent at Macdonald College, Quebec, takes the', ground that dairymen and beef producers find that when roots are fed, animals keep in better condition, and the flow of milk and the production of flesh increase with lessened cost. Poultry keepers and hog raisers find that when there is no grass roots form the best and cheapest sub- stitute. There is nothing fed to animals that is more relished. Roots appear to act as a tonic and help to make all dry feed palatable. Mr. Fixter points out that the average yield of roots over Can- ada is 402.36 bushels per acre and that the yield secured at the Macdonald College farm was more than 1000 bushels per acre. He goes on to describe how large yields may be secured in every pro- vince of the Dominion and then tells how to successfully harvest and store the crop. This paper which is issued in pam- phlet form for free distribution by the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, concludes by saying that the greatest success in grow- ingroots will be obtained when the fol- lowing are observed: —A systematic rot- ation of crops; roots to follow a fresh clover sod; manure once in the rotation; thorough cultivation in prepartion for the erop and after the roots are sown. ���'��<.��+ ;tea•, 211 a "Fruit -a -fives" Cured V,•'i, rs�,y ;w i : t."

WINTER BULES,,,, Nothing is more easily grown, more fragrant or will more richly reward the grower than the hyacinth for pots and glasses. To grow in glasses the single ones are preferred, although some of the double are equally as good. Clean glasses thoroughly, then fil with water, the base of the bulb barely touching the water.. Place them away for three or four weeks in adark closet, then you will find the roots have nearly filled the glass. Bring them to the light gradually; avoid placing them on the window ledge, as the cold draught chills the roots. Neither expose to the full sun. Keep in a room of moderate tempera- ture with plenty of light and air. As the water evaporates fill up with water of the same temperature as the room. There are many fine bulbs in the stores now, such as hyacinths, crocus- es, tulips and lilies. Get them now and pick out only the largest and best. In selecting them see that they are not broken, that the centre where the bulb starts sprouting looks good and hardy; then you get large, fine flowers, October is the best time to plant them. Let the soil be dug to the depth of 18 inches and thoroughly pulverised. If the soil is poor enrich it with some thoroughly decomposed manure, and if it is too close or heavy, mix some sand with it and thoroughly incorporate the whole when covered with half -rotted manure. This will sufficiently enrich the soil. The best covering is leaves or half - decayed manure. Cover them from two to four inches after the ground is frozen two or three inches deep.

Children Cry per, FOR FLETCHER'S (DABT®R A The Undertaker. When life is done—this life that galls and frets us, this life so full of tears and dreads— the undertaker comes along and gets us and tucks us neatly in our little beds. When we are done with toiling, hoarding, giving, when we are done with drawing cheques and breath, he conies to show us that the cost of living cuts little ice beside the cost of death. I meet him daily in the street or alley, a cheerful man, he dances and he sings; and we exchange the buoyant jest and sally, and ne'er discourse of grim unplea- sant things. We talk of crops, the campaign, and the weather, the I• and R., the trusts—this nation's •curse; no graveyard hints while we conversi to- gether no reference to joy -rides in a 'hearse. And yet I feel—perchance it is a blunder—that as I stand there rug- ged,;hale, and strong, he'd like to ask me: "Comrade, why in thunder and ot- her things, do you hang on so long? When I complain of how the asthma tightens upon my lungs, and makes me feel a wreck, it seems to me his face with rapture lightens, smiles stretch his lips and wind around his neck. And when I say I'm feeling like a heifer turned out to grass, or like a hummingbird, he heaves a sigh as gentle as a zephyr, yet fraught with pain and grief and hope deferred.—Walt Mason. Here are suggestions for transferring the pattern before you to any material before working. Perhaps the easiest way is the window -pane" method. This is successful when the material is thin, like linen, batiste, etc. Pin the sheet of paper and the material together and ho - Id thein up against the glass of a window. With a sharp pencil draw on the mater- ial the design, which can be easily seen through the goods. If one-half of the design only be given, unpin the, paper and turn the other side to the fabric. The strong light behind will make it plain. If you have carbon paper, you should place the sheet between yonrfab- ric and the newspaper. This latter is on top. With a sharp pencil go over the outline of the design. The impres- sion will be left in fine lines and will last until worked. This method is sixe- s.'ssful on heavy material.
