Tho top sieve should be 1 th rain good, and do not flower as early as the White Roman. The loose grow- ing, richly perfumed flowers of the White Romans are very pretty and acceptable. The Paper White Nareis- eus can also be had In flower early. French grown bulbs of the Trumpet Major Narciesus can also he had in flower in the window before Christ- mas by potting the bulbs toward the end of September, or not later than the end of October. All of these bulb can usually be had early in °Melee at seed stores. Pot the bulbs in rath er sandy potting soil as soon as th bulbs can be obtained. The sot should not be. too rich in fertilizers Three or four bulbs can be put be five-ineh pot. The top of the bulb should be Just under the surface o the soil when potted. The surface o the soil should be about half an inch below the top 'of the pot for water space. Water the bUlbs well as soon as potted and set the mate away in a cool, dark place in a dark cellar or cupboard until roots have well start- ed, usually for about four or ilia weekts. When roots are well started, and possibly showing through the hole in the bottom of the lower pot, they should be brought into the win- dow to dower. Keep the soll well moist, not too wet, until they are through flowering.

Bulbs of these can be started in deep saucers or soup Plates In Octo- ber for early flowering. Set the bulbs firmly in the saucer and then fill the saucer or dish with fine gravel 'stones, sosas to almost cover the bulbs.

These will lower in December. Keep the sau- cers filled up with water as required. Callas, Epiphyllum or Xmas Cac- tus, Cyclamen, Primulas, several varieties of Begonia, especially the Glorie de Lorraine type of Begonias, are suitable for Christmas, as well as the dwarf Semperflorens type of :,-,- gonia that flower so profuselyeither in the window in winter or' out of doors in the sammer. Late flowering Chrysanthemums are also good for early winter decoration. All of these last named plants have to be grown expressly for the window or purcha.a- ed from a florist. The bulbs named as suitable for early flowering can be grown with very little trouble and expense by any one who takes an in- terest in flowers and in flower grow- ing. No plants or flowers give more satisfaction in winlir than do the winter flowering bulbs before named. • Cleaning and Grading Grain. These two farm operations may be accomplished at the same time and by the same means. The fanning mill is the most successful medium in ob- taining this result and too much Im- portance cannot be placed on the use of this machine. The successful oper- ation of the fanning mill depends on two factors, that of wind blast and the use of -sieves. The removal of light or inferior grain and the small- er and lighter weed seeds is almost wholly dependent on the wind blast. It also assists the sieves because it removes part of the grain which to stop et onoo all initial work on shells and completely stop by Deo le, The night shift has already quit, The company will now return to rnalciug of threshers.

Few Noveliets and Poets Who Rao present This Young Conntry Have Won International Fame and Our Musicians Are Mak- ing Pregreas, Hut We Have No WAWA. IT Is almost too much to exPee that a young nation will have developed in less than A half century many signs of artistic self expression, but already Cana titans are beginning to look for in- dications of artistic endeavor in the Dominion, We are it country with out a great deal of tradition. Even the Provinces that had existed for a century or two before Confederation are really new in the sense of having any feeling of national conscious- ness. They were considered colonies for so many years, and the struggle for existence was all that filled the mind of the pioneers. Then camo nationhood, and Canadians became slowly more conscious that the needed literature, art, and music. They were content for many years to import those beautifying influences of life, and were rather inclined to discourage local effort. In this re- spect things have changed greatly of late, and every Canadian Is looking for the time when we shall have novels and poetry, music and drama, pictures and similar forms of na- tional sett expression that the world will recognise) and honor. Canada has- not been without Poets. Indeed it is in this branch of literature that our country has been richest. There are men like Archi- bald Lamproan who have pictured and Interpreted our life and oar Ca- nadian scenes in their verse in a manner that has Made them classics in our la.nd. 'Bliss Carman, Wilfred Campbell, and Duncan Campbell Scott have given the world many beautiful lyrics, and there are other writers of verse like Pauline John- son, the gifted Indian ,poeteas, who will be long remembered because they belonged so peculiarly to this 1aad. RobertW. Service is the man who has won the widest internatIon- al.fame as a poet, being known in England as "the Canadian Kipling." Our novelists have not been as numerous as our poets, and they have done no work as fine as the ex- quisite poetry of Lautpman, but sev- eral of them stand high in the esti- mation of the general reading public. Sir Gilbert Parker is well establish- ed as a careful and painstaking novelist, and his earlier work helped to make the life of the Quebec Habi- tant known to people in Enniand and the United States. Though not great- ly inspired, he has nevertheless won a considerable reputation. "Ralph Connor" has made for himself a pub- lic only a little less extensive than that possessed by Sir Gilbert Parker. The Winnipeg clergyman who first attracted attention with his novel, "The Sky Pilot," undertook to de- scribe primitive life and primitive conflicts as they appear to the min- ister, and he immediately made for himself a large following. There has never been a more characteristic Canadian novelist than Judge Hall- burton, and though he is not widely known now, it is generally believed that time will make him as great a classic as Washington Irving is among American writers. In this respect, his fame is a little like that of Dr. Drummond, whose Habitant poetry is perhaps the moat purely Canadian thing we possess in the way of literature. We have in Stephen Leacock a humorist whose fame is by no means local. Perhaps he will become the Canadian Mark Twain. There is 310 drama in Canada as yet. Not a single play exists that has been accepted by competent critics as a picture of life in the Do- ll:UW.011 that is worth preserving. Ass every national literature must in- clude drama, our people are natur- ally waiting with some interest for a playwright who will do for Canada what Synge did for Ireland and Bar-* rie for Scotland in placing their peo- ple behind the footlights.' In music, Canada has so far 'Seen interpretative rather than creative. The Mendelssohn Choir of 'Toronto has been pronounced the finest choral organization on this contin- ent, and there aro people who declare that it will hold its own with the great choruses of the Old World, In toot, Dr. Vogt was arranging to take his choir abroad to challenge comparisons., with the singers of Europe whoa the great war *upset his plans. Our composers have not dorm any very. ambitious work, but some of it, though light, is accepted by the most discriminating mueicians. The songs of Gene, Branscomb and the coni - positions of Clarence Lucas are do- ing something towards making the name of these Canadians famons. If one were to ask what is the most widely known ptece of music by Canadian cotnposer, the answor Would doubtless be Robert 5, Am- brose's beautiful setting, of Phoebe Cary's poem "Oue Sweetly Solemn Thought." Our two national airs are now almost as widely familiar, and we are particularly fortunate in having found in less than fifty years LIVO songs like "0 Canada" and "The 'Maple Leaf Forever," Lavallee's Magic will eland comparison with the most dignified national anthonss the world, while the swinging joy, ous melody written by Alexander Muir Will never oease to appeal to people tvho like a gni* whole - STRAND Thursday Friday la Saturday The world's.
