The extent of the fishing water of Manitoba and the variety of opeciee.• found therein is not generally known, and a bulletin, reoently published by the Provincial Government; gives mast' interesting facts concerning this infant industry. The report ,states that the area of the inland lakes of the, province totals 20,000 square miles, of which Lake Winnipeg, with: an area of 15,2116 square miles, is. the largest. In addition, Manitoba, liar some 440- miles of shore line on the salt waters of Hudson Bay. The waters are more or less liberally stocked with several species -estim- ated at fifty-three—of valuable fresh- water reshwater fish, of which whitefish, pick- erel, ickerel, trout and'sturgeoe are the most important' from a commercial stand- point. Some three thousand tons of fish aro annually taken from the Manitoba lakes. Little trouble is experienced catching the fish, but transporting the product to the nearest railway point, 'and thence to market, is one. of the biggest obstacles which the Manitoba fish operator has to overcome. As the major operations are tarried 011 In Lake Winnipeg during the early.spiing months, it is necessary to transport the flak by sleighs to the railhead, a distance of 100 miles or better. The fish are frozen as soon as caught, packed in wooden boxes weighing 125 lbs, each, and approxhnately .150 pack- ages loaded on a sleigh. Before ship- ping, the fish are carefully packed in refrigerator cars and expressed to various markets. Keen Export Demand for Whitefish. Approximately seventy-five per cent. or the total catch is made up of white fish, and as there is a strong demand for this species, little trouble has been experienced in building up good mar- kets to dispose of the eatch, and oiler• eters aro assured at all times a ready sale as well as a profitable pries for their product. Shipments are regu- larly made to Westers and Eastern Canadian points, as well as to rilinne- epos, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Pittsburg, New York and other American cities. It Is interesting to note le regard to the fisheries of Manitoba that tho Fro. Vinelai and•FedcralGovernments have been and are active in the conserva- tion of the fisheries as well as the Propagation of same. Hatcheries have been established at Selkirk, G1111 Har- bour,; Dauphin River and Winnipeg- osis. Milhous of eggs, fry or older Ash are distributed from these hatcheries in surrounding waters. THE GLADIOLUS The gladiolus is a flower that is not grown as largely as it deserves. Prob- ably the two main reasons for this are, drst, that it is not sold In the common seed packets; and, ,second, .it Is very easy to lose -one's whole stock of glad! oli if one forgets to dig them In the fall, for, litre potatoes, they will not stand the winter's freezing in the ground. By getting a few bulbs to start with, however, one may soon increase one's stock; and there Is scarcely any finer cut flower that will thrive and come to perfection In our latitude. The gladi- olus grows from a bulb or coring spring planted. The bulbs are not at all ex- peusive, costing according to the rarity of the variety.. The general period for planting corms would be about May 15, Plant, say, four inches deep. On account of the limited • top growth—only half a dozen or less sword -like leaves and a single flower spike—one may 'plant the bulbs quite closely together, say six inches or less apart in the row. Give a sunny location, uottoo close to buildings, and cultivate lightly throughout •tlze season. A single good spike will bear about eighteen Rower buds. me greatest satisfaction is obtained by cutting the e• nice when 1 vv the first bud opens nnd•al- ao Wing tlae flower to develop indoors.

About the latter part of September or after the flrs't frosts appear, the bu:•bs should be taken out of the ground and allowed to dry. However, the more drying there is dono the greater the loss of Vitality, and only enough drying should be practised to free the bulb at surolis mai,sttlrs con- tained in the skin or husk so thatthere will be no; tendency to imetd.
