A 'Garden of '61
This garden was Situated near a
driveway that led to the 'barns. and
sheds of an old farm of many years ,
ago. It bordered the house lawn on:
one side And was separated from the
driveway by a fonr-board fence.
In size I should Judge, it to be about
one hundred feet long' by lifty feet.
The long way eictended in line with
the drive. Near the fence stood the
hollyhocks With their variegated blos-
soms nodding in the breeze. At the
end of these rows were the tall sun-
flowers, telling the time of day, their
broad faces always following the sun,
as it took its journey across the sky.
These reminded one of the sentinels
that were _placed there to guerd the
nectared blossoms from the visitors,
the yellow breeched philosopher and
the gauzy winged hurnming..bird, who
might tarry too long gathering fairy
dew from the sweetened cups.

Department of Indian Affairs
Reports 1-1s.rvest of 1,277,.
029 Bushels.
That the Indians of the need Prairie
Provinces, who up till a 7M years ago
were nomadic hunters, produced, in
1922 the astonishing total of 1,277,029
bushels of grains of all kinds is infor-
mation meet gratifying to all interest-
ed in the welfare of those warde.of the
Government. The significance of this
great crop which 10 a half a million
bushels larger than the erop of 1922
will be made more apparent by an il-
lustration.
This crop of grain, if placed in box
ears ot the average capatity, would
fill 816 cars, which. at 51 cars t
tr-ain -Would .niake 10 trainloads of
grain. Them trains, ,with their loco-
motives and c abaoses placed- end to
end would reach a distance of SiX and
one-half juiles'
AS there are 31,066 Indians in the
Prairie Provinces, or in round num-
bers 6,200 families, this means a crop
of over 205 Matteis per family, and
this in spite of the fact that, of course,
with many engaged in hunting and
fishing, itli the Indians did not partici-
pate 1 xrowing•this crop.
The kinds and Quantities of grain
growu were as follows: Wheat, 638,-
213 bushels; Oats, 573,905 bushels;
barley, 62,304 bushels; rye; 2,167 bush-
els; Indian Corn, 460 bushels; total,
3,277029 bUShelS,
In addition to -this the Incline raised

made in regard tq the two latter fact-

adopted for ,the teaching of farming.
Farming is, of course, the chief Indus-

to that the teaching' is 'brought in a

A wide fireplace, .

In, eyerY room,

Trees to Sweeten. Your Tea!
It has just been announced that the
existence in British Columbia of sugar
Veering fir trees' has now' been scien-
tifically established. • . •
The presence of these trees in that
province bait for.Sonfe time been the
caubjeCt of more than mere conjecture.
Two or three years ago it 'was stated
that an American botanist had made
exhatistive investigations in • the
Thempson River valley, and that he
had all 'but satisfied himself that the
Douglas fir tree in that locality yields
a whitish sugar -like substance in,con-
siderable quantities.
• Recently a settler noticed a similar
substance lying on aotne ground he
had just bought, At first lee was un-
able to account for its presence there;
then he noticed that it invariably ap-
peared after rain and the fact caused
hint to transfer ;Lis attention to some
treed that grew near by. The trees
Were epeeimens of the Douglas .flr, and
the tip,s ,of the branches, he was sur-
prised to find, were laden with a sub-
stance whieb, on being washed off by
showers, crystallized lilte sugar on the
ground. The settler than discoVerecl
that the Indians had long used the
substance for sWeetening purposes.
The Sugar of the Douglas fir has a
deckled value from the scientific and
chemical point i'af view, its present
price being `about 860 per lb. But to
most people the chief interest of its
discovery Res in the fact that Nature
has somehow contrived to withhold
the secret of the "sugar trees" from
man's prying eyes for so long,

The minister drew up a chair quiet-
ly by the bedside of the sick man and
grasped the pallid hand that stretched
out to him, "Hew are things going
to -day, 5'alm.?" he asked.
The sick /Mari shook his head. "Slow,
slow," he replied in a discouraged tone.
"This plaster cast feels as if it weigh-
ed a ton. And just think! I've got
five more weeksof it anyway. Who'd
have thought a Walcott hip would
cause all this trouble? Worst of all,"
he added inmatiently, "I'm wasting a
lot of valuable time on thie sick bed.
I can't afford if." '
"Yes, 7 know," said the minister
kindly, "but time spent en 'Hie sick
bed ',isn't -always lost by any means'.
