Pitting Potatoes for Seed.
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and the frost has withdrawn from the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. American Agriculturist.

infantum"
THE SUMER COMPLAINT
J. W. 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. Manufactured only by 'The

1 CANADA LAGER THAN
UNITED STATES.
From the Guelph Herald.
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.

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.

MINTS TO HOUSEWIVES
To 'whiten clothes add one tablespoon-
ful of turpentine to a boilerful of wash-

Flatirons will keep bright and smooth

fore putting them away.
Tartartic acid removes almost any
iron rust blemishes, and is an excel-
lent article for removing yellow marks.
To keep down dust when using the
carpet sweeper moisten the brush of
the sweeper with keroscue. This will
also brighten the carpet.
To clean vinegar or oil cruet break
up egg shells very small, add to warm
soap water, fill into cruets and shake
well. 'i'his is simple and does not in-

To keep your sponge in good condi-

warm water with a little tartaric acid
or soda, afterwards rinsing it in clean
waren water.
Dull and shabby leather bags should
be rubbed over with the well -beaten

them; spices keep well in the tightly
closed boxes. Label them as you fill

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.
