In ;potatoes alone She returns would run, wilder ordinary prices, at from $100 to $200 per acre. From $400 to $500 per acre can be made from cauliflower. Many people will be inclined to regard these figures as exaggerated, but they are facts, and many oases can be pointed out to substantiate our statements. With proper soil treatment, the -average garden will produce at least a half more than it now does. Several things must be borne ui mind, however, to make a success with garden crops, such as onions, potatoes, cabbage, eta. The soil must be suitablet cultivation must be thorough, varieties the best for the district and the market, and .good salesmanship. The plot selected for the garden should be well drained, and must not be shaded to any extent. Drainage takes away surface wa- ter rapidly, and keeps the soil wa- ter away from the surface, there- by allowing the roots to grow deep and the air to enter the soil and aid in decomposing it. Fertility is -another most important feature. The need for fertilizer is shown by low growth and pale color in the plants. Stable manure, bone meal, or good commercial fertilizereblould be used to renew the elements re- quired by the soil. . MAKE EVERY ACRE PRODUCT MORE. . Germination. Crops are often- lost through the failure of 'the -seeds to germinate. Don't blame your seedsman for this. It is usually because id .Jllant]ng tlfe soil is left loose about the tiny .eeeds, an the dry atmosphere pene- trates to them, shrivelling them up until all. vitality is destroyed - Vegetable crops as a rule are sown in rows, and in every case, tea soon as the seed is sown, it should be pressed down in the drill with the foot, then covered up level by the back of a rake, drawn lengthwise of the drills, and again firmed by the roller or bank of a spade. For want of this simple precaution, perhaps one-quarter of all seeds sown fail to germinate. Again, for the same reason, when setting out plants of any kind, be certain that the soil is pressed close to the root.

In order to secure maximum yields, and to keep down weeds, the systematic rotation of farm crops is an acknowledged necessity. Why not, therefore, plan the varie- ties of vegetables and their planting time so as to secure a 'continuous and abundant supply of good, fresh green things? It is just as easy as any other method of garden man- agement, and it is much more satis- factory. For example a crop of radishes, turnips, spinach or lettuce sown in April, will have ripened so that the ground can be cleared, dug up, and menured, and again used by the first of June, when sueb crops as eu- eumbers, .pews, tomatoes. or sweet corn can be planted, and so on, all through the list. The crops should be moved around from year to year, se as to give the soil a chance to recuperate. Where a number of successive plantings are desirable, as with peas, it is an excellent plan to plant a third or fourth crop between the rows of the first erop, removing the vines of the first crop as soon as the peas have been picked. The observance of the foregoing suggestions, along with instructions for planting, which Most reliable seedsmen supply with purchases of seeds and plants, should enable any thoughtful and ambitious person to make a success of growing the com- mon and most popular summer vegetables, Extensive Potato Cultivation. The potato is probably more in demand at all times, and will show a better proportionate profit, year in and year out,. than any other farm crop. In next week's issue of this paper will appear . an article dealing thoroughly and interesting- ly with the methods of one success- ful farmer in Western- Ontario, who has grown potatoes extensively for 43 years, and who last year sold $1,200 worth of potatoes from a twelve -acre patch of hie 160 -acre farm. Don't fail to read this article. Here are some interesting facts cited by the farmer about whom the article is written': "The first tivo crops after putting in twenty-one thousand tile paid for the unclerdraining in increased yield per aore." "When you take much food from the soil you must return a like amount or your soil will soon play out. This spring we used about five tons of fertilizer, as well as several hundred loads of manure." "In the last two years I have sold fifteen thousand bushels of potatoes from this farm, and have not had one single complaint ae to quality. "Upto the year 1900 the total value of 'stuff sold off my farm amounted to $41,724,28. The ten years following 1900 would add easi- ly another $40,000 to that sum." "This last year I had deb least 6,000 bushels of potatoes. Put these at the low price of fifty -cents per bushel and you get $3,00Q. I' cam raise one acre of potatoes for twen- ty dollars, easily. So, you sae, I have been making pretty good pro- fit on my thirty acres," 'Tor the last seven years I have each year been unable to fill my orders,'' "In taking np eix thousand busth- els of potatoes this year we have not run across It quart nieasureful of potatoes unfit for markets" "When every potato means two or three cents, one must be careful that there is an eye on each piece planted." "I started forty-three years apo with five acres in potatoes, and an net a'siligle year since have I failed to grow them." "I 'believe in repaying the 'soil for what you take ,from it, I have made it a rule never to sell off the feria hay, straw er oats," "nave been decent with my man, giving respectable wages and their room and board, but never wash- ing. "When I hired my filet man, many ,years ago, I simply told hila that I hadn't married my wife to do washing."

Warsaw Produces Three - fifths of Poland Manufactures. The Government on Warsaw occu- pying a narrow strip of land in the heart or Russian Poland, where vast military operations have been In prog- ress for weeks, is one of the richest manufacturing districts of the whole Russian Empire, The importation oP industries by the Muscovites has taken its way over this Bat plain northward, and a great many of these Industries have halted not tar Ptdm the borders, nearer to the skilled labor markets and the markets tor machinery and raw materials than would be the case deeper in the hinterland. Thus, the textile industry crossed into Russian territory, and, for the great part, remained in the Warsaw Government, Iron and steel working followed the textile mills, and • the manufacture of boots and shoes, hosiery, sugar, tobacco, furniture, machinery, and lace -making have grown up around the working of the two most important modern staples, iron and fibers. Warsaw, the capital of the Govern- ment of Warsaw, as it is the capital of the general government of Russian Poland, is the industrial centre. The value of the annual output of manufac- tures of the government la estimated at between 60 million and 65 million dollars, and of this the city of Warsaw produces nearly three-fifths Cotton and woolen goods and products of iron and steel make up the bulls of this value. Footwear, leather goods, and beat sugar are, however, items Of con. adderable' importance in ,the prosperity of the d'is£rlet: • . The Germans and Jews have played tit.• leading parts in developing its manufacturing ventures, Russian rule, wholesale deportations of artisans alter the Polish uprisings of 1794, 1831 and 1863, and a German customs bar- rier on one side, with a Russian cus- toms barrier on the other, have operat- ed to greatly retard the growth of the Government's industrial importance. There is a well developed agricul- ture„ -in the Government, despite the fact that its soils are very poor and that in some sections there are pert mica' drownings out of the country by the Bug and Vistula. The lowlying grounds are boggy, The Government embraces an area of 5,605 miles, and houses a population of about 25300,000,, The land is mostly low and .tat, broken only here and there by low hills in the south and by the high terraced banks on the left of the Vistula in the north-west. The' Vistula forms the. northern boundary of the Government and 10 its principal artery of trade,; On the west it is bounded by the Prussian frontier: The herd grazing, of East- ern Prussia is, carried on into the Government df Warsaw, and, com- bined, its herds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine number about half a zillion head. In the 18th century, when the city of Warsaw, next to Paris, wag the most brilliant city In Europe, this fiat plain was usually rich in herds and in geese flocks, though almost bare of manufactures. The youth had been asked to write examples of the indicative, 'atrbjnnotive and potential' moods, and an exclamatory +sentence. This is what he produced "I am trying to pass an English euaminitttion.

Kelly, She must have a comfortable place to tie down, stand up, more and stretch her limbs and licit her- self all over the body. She lutist' have sunshine and plenty of light. She must lave pule air to breathe, and this means that the stable must be provided with some sys- tem of ventilation to give a fre- quent change of air. This need not be expensive, only a 'little forethought and a few dol - lace' worth of material and labor. She 'must have good pule water at least twice a day, or better still, have ,n 'automatic water basin at her side, The stable should be cleaned daily, and be thoroughly di'sdnfeet- ed. The ceiling, floor :and ides should be all smooth, and of con• crate ccatstrudtion, and the fixtures largely iron. It IS not expensive, and they are sanitary .and perman- ent. Large, 'smooth, • concrete man- gers for feeding are about the best we know of to -day. Jud'g'ment and common sense must be exercised in the methods of feeding and hand- ling the oows. Fixed; rules in feed- ing are not practioal. - • Overfeeding is wasteful; under- feeding is unprofitable. The cows must be well nourished at all tines but if .given more than they need for maintenance and produotiou, they waste it, as a rule The quality of milk -that is, tlra amount of milk and fat that it con• tains-,is oontrolled more by the oonstitu'tional characteristic of the cow than by the feed. Never star up dust or foul odor's at milking :.time. If you do, a lot of it is sure to get into the milk. Whether to feed the cows just'be- fore milking is a much debated question. It is not :at all danger- ous to feed them a little grain, pro- vided you stir up no dust or dts- agr:eeable odors. As a rule, the cows will give down their, milk more freely 'w'hen they have oolitented minds, and a little of the right kind of Teed goes a long way toward 'bringin'g about this contented state of mind. Never olean the stables just before milk- ing, for it will stir up a tenfold worse odor than any feed the cows will eat. If there is any question be- fore the farmers of this country of more importance than that of oonserving the soil's fertility, I am not cognizant of it, The most important business of dairy farmers is to increase the quantity of manurial subetancea and amply it where it is most need- ed. All of the manure, both liquid ' and solid, should be saved and apt plied to the land. I believe it is the best to haul it from the stable to the field and apply it as fast as made. When all the 'liquid's have ,been saved by the use of absorbents, large amounts of manure may be made, and, if it is hauled 'to the fields direct from the stable, these liquid's will drain into the soil to tthe depth of the farrow slice, and there will be little loss from ex- posure. In addition, the cows will not bp waddling knee deep in the moire and • filth every time they are turned out in the yaids for Nater and exer- cise. Nest of the work comes at a time when other farm operations 1 are slack, and the soil, besides be- ing enriched, plays easier and i works np better during the whole 1 of ,the next season, on account of being trade porous by being cover- ed 'with manure during the winter. 1 When hauling the manure from the stable to the field we plait to liaul to the 'feather fields while the ground is frozen and close to the barn while soft and muddy, There is no reasonable excuse for a datiry fa.rnier to allow 51101' than 01mAhint of his manurial fer- tility to wash away in a dirty, filthy barnyard, and spend one or two weeks clueing the busy season in the spring to haul it across the muddy fields to get it on his land. 'C'lean'liness can beat be secured iu a stable of plain, smooth, con- suuatioit inside. The walls, cef'i- ingts, stalls, etc., should be smooth and tight, and if possible, wash. able. The relation of cleanliness to a wholesome product and to the health of the cows is vital. Convenience has to do with the possibility of doing the dairy work easily and rapidly.
