The Where the Public is to Blame What the public does to bring about high ptices was very well protrayetl of late in the purchasing of supplies that it was thought might become scarce ttttough the war, O.nbo hostilities. commenced, there was a rush for flour sugar, rice, oatmeal and other food cotnntoditiee, with the result that prices advanced quickly. Had the buy- ing not started it is unlikely that there would have been any noticeable ad- vance for some time yet, But the rush took place, and the only ones who ben efttted were the 'wholesalers and re• toilers who were fortunate enough to hays a bigot' Ikon hand. The present stock cost no more to the wholesalers, but they put up the prices and made n ney--all because the foolieh public became stampeded and etarted buying at the wrong time. There is not the slightest danger or any famine in this country. 13eing ease to the United States, we can get fairly good suppliee of every thing that is absolutely essential. Of course, prices will advance, but they will ad- vance more now that the public has made the plunge. It will be the plor people that will have to pay for this eeltiphnese. They will have to pay whatever is demanded. Often it hae been said that the public needs to be protected from itself. There is ample truth in this argument.

Irish Rotatoes are one of the easiest and moat profitable suburban crops, They may be grown on almost any type of,soll which possesses sufficient moisture and plant food, though they thrive best on sandy loam or gravel loam soils, and .it is on these types that maximum crops of high quality pota- toes can be produced. If the land which is to be planted to potatoes is not likely to wash in the winter plow in the fall to ,a depth or from nine to ten inches if the charac- ter of the land will permit. Deep plow- ing insures a greater water holding^, capacity. Spare no pains in fitting the laud for planting. Thorough prepara- tion is essential to large yields, ad- vises the department of agriculture. Should a poor sod land be selected for a potato bed, apply from 1,000 to 1,000 pounds of a fertilizer analyzing from 2 to 3 per cent of ammonia, 0 to 7 per cent of phosphoric acid and 7 to 8 per cent of potash. If n stubble or corn land is used increase the am - 'manta content to 31A or 4 per rent. EIalf the ammonia should be derived from dried blood, tankage or other or• nee reservoir is seamless And clean enough to use in cooking, and preserving. See theMc Clary_ dealer. 84 R. R.

TH E Advance from now until January • 25c Many Thousand Men Required for the Harvest in Western Canada, lst. for from varietal mixture and disease, and true to name and type. The tubers should be reasonably smooth and firm, with the first sprouts just starting into growth. Wilted or badly germinated seed is not desirable. Plant these potatoes from three tc six inches in depth, depending on the nature of the soil. Plant shallow on heavy clay soils, and deep on light, sandy or muck soils. Plaut in roles from thirty to thirty-six inches and from ten to fourteen inches apart, de• pending on variety grown and the Per• tility Of the soil. Early varieties can be planted closer than late ones. Cover seed with at least three inches of soil. If planted as outlined fifteen to twenty bushels of seed potatoes per acre will be required. Give first tillage before plants push through the ground. The aim should be to keep the surface of the soil loose and free from weeds. Continue euiti• vations at frequent intervals, reruem bering to go shallower each time and gradually narrowing the spare tilled Potato plants are generally sprayed to protect thein against Teaf eating insect pests or fungus pests. Protection against these insects is nsually secur ed by some form of arsenical poison, such as the arsenate of lend or parts green. The potato plant may be pro tected against fungus diseases by keeping its foliage covered with Bor. deans mixture. East Africa's Big Game. Big game of British East Africa, out- side of the three preserves of the col cry, is rapidly vanishing and, accord- ing to W. T. Bornaday, "is absolutely certain to disappear in about one- fourth the time that it took South Af- rice to accomplish the same result." Mr. Uornnday points out that the pres- ent legal bag limit is ruinously extrav- agant. For 5200 any man may buy the right to kill 300 head of hoofed and horned animals of forty-foilr species, not counting carnivorous nnimais that May also be killed. Thus the richest big game fauna of any one spot in the world, which nature has been several million years in developing and placing there, seems likely to be wiped out by man within the next fifteen yeats.- Chicdgo News.
