Gnei A tripthrough Huron and Bruce counties at the present time, reveals the fact that Canada has some of the finest farms to be found in 'the world, Grains of all kinds are all abundant crop. The strew is. long and heads' are filling well, and everything points to a plentiful harvest. Fall wheat is grown largely and in every case has done well. Hay and pasture is good. Canadians have every reason to be proud of the land of their birth, and that they form part of the Empire ori which "the stin never sets," *** Shades of Whitney! Can yon imag- ine Sir James Whitney forgetting all that he fought for; so far' as to refuse part •of his salary as Premier because it was too much and then, when leav- ing the office, grab all he .could get. But Mr. Drury is nuly consistent in his inconsistency, He has proved such a disappointment to his former, sup- porters that most of them gave a sigh of relief when he said he was through with polities. But even here again, he is trying to go back on himself by of- fering they to lead the party f h Y will get a seat for Min. ** The editor sof the Clinton News - Record, who by the way is a lady, has suddenly become interested in o moustaches. Recently she complain- ed mplain ed that Mr. Stothers had shaved off the little hirsute appendage that dec- orated his upper lip, Last week she goes after the Wingham and Clinton council in this wise: "A BAREFACED LOT "Only one councillor in 'Wing - ham wore a moustache. Mr. \V. Ii Willis, and he has shaved it off. so now the council members all present_ bare, faces to the world of tax payers.

Howard Per-'. guson and those whom he has chosen', to be his immediate advisers, are 13,+w , regularly installed in office. \\"e hope' that each elle of them will possess in good degree that indefinable some-, thing that distinguishes_ the true- statesman from the mere politician.' We hope and trust that their huu ti wisdom will he supplemented by wis- dom from above, and that entirely groundless will prove to he those' fears' which Seem to prevail in some quarters as to the course whichthe ' Welt ('ti 'ernment will pursue in regard to a certain matter which is of the. most vital 'interest to the welfare of the Province. It is.a, good thing for the purpose of enlarging our ideas to think some- T, times about the immensities of the un iverse of which our globe. with all that it inherits, is but a tiny speck.' Yes, our great globe with its vast Continents, its wide oceans, its broad plains; its snow-capped mountain peaks, itsmightyrivers, its populous cities, is but a tiny speck of the mater- ial universe. Let us take the most distant planet of the Solar System that has yet been discovered --tile planet Neptune. This eeepiani t. is distant. from the sun 2,853,- 8000*e miles, which is also its dis- E}J e"fi-ont the earth at certain points the earth's orbit. Now light, travel- ling at the prodigous speed of 186,000 utiles per second, takes eight minutes to come from the sun to the earth,' but it requires 4 hours, 15 minutes and 43 seconds to go from the sun to far- away Neptune. But perhaps another illustration would be interesting. Suppose the Hon, Mr, Biggs, the great road - builder ,of Ontario, had constructed to Neptune a highway equal to that from Toronto to. Hamilton, or, say the five miles. from Stratford, to Sebringvills which cost over $200,000, and sup- i pose that with a good supply of gaso- lene, you started out to make the trip to Neptune, in your every day :Ford,' or in your aristocratic Rolls-Royce.,, You would perhaps think 300. miles would he far enough to go each day. Then, as a good Christian, you would not travel on Sundays, and you would require other daysto straighten out after sitting in the car, so we will say you travelled 300 days -a year. Well, you would require 31,708 years 'and 266 days in which to. Make the journ- ey; or ourn-ey;.,or about five times as many years •.s bare passed since Adam and Ere, in scant attire, cultivated the garden of Eden, We hope,, dear reader; that in a literal sense, this is not too figur GENERAL OBSERVATIONS CULTURE OF GLADIOLI 'Good AdvkkeAbout Producing This :;G�Of1iQUS Bloom.:1 .r i A Deep,"'liieh Loamy Soil Is 1 i efeilred —Got Good Varieties to.

Do not dig in fresh strawy manure at planting time. If any. ma- nure is used, it should lee well rotted, sad Should be dug in so as not to come in direct contact with the corms or bulbs, Manure is best dug in the fall previous to Planting, The ground should be dug over again Just before planting the corms Planting.—The corms (bulbs) may be planted any time in 11fay or early June.. Flowering corms should not be less than one and a hall inelies In diameter. Plant the corms from three to Emir inches deep and about six inches apart, They maybe set t. h Y either in rows about two feet or three feet apart, or in groups con- venient for staking and cultivating. The small cormels (small bulbs) should be planted about two inches deep with the old corms, or separately. Cutting Blooms.—Cut biose with fairly long stems when two or three ofthe bottom flowers have opened, and put in water as soon as cut. If about half an inch of the stem is cut off every day or two, the spikes well continue in flower for a long time after being it. The old spikes of flowers not cut off should lie cut when they are through flowering be- fore the seed forma on them. Storing for Winter, — Gladioli corms should be dun, and stored over winter. Dig the corms before severe frosts, about the middle of October. Cut off the tops a few inches above the ground, dig the corms, and put them in a shed or room away from the frost for about two weeks to dry, then put them in a cool fairly dry room or ,peIlar, whore they will not freeze, temperature about 40 deg. F. In very damp cellars they may be hung up in baskets, or tied in bunches and hung up to the joists. Before planting the large corms for the next season's bloom, remove the remains of tops and the old corm at the bottom. The small : corms (or cormels) should also be removed. The small plants from the cormels should be dug and stored during winter much In the same way as for the large flowering corms. Save cormels ,(small :bulbs) from the .best varie- ties. Itwill take three or four years to grow flowering corms from the small cormels to flower well. The following are a 'few of the many varieties grown that will make a good collection for an amateur's garden:— Afterglow, America, Augusta, Blue Jay, Cardinal, Contrast, Dawn, Re - cheater White, Kunderdi 'Glory, Princeps, Pesco, Panama, La Luna, Mrs, Frank Pendleton, Niagara, Sul- phur 'King, Schreben, Scribe, Wm. Falconer, Collections or hybrid Gladioli, will often give good results and are cheaper than named varieties .if a large number is required. This 1131 does not include many of the quite new varieties. Fairly good calleetlons can be bought fel from one to two dollars. per dozen, and even cheaper. It pays to buy good varieties for a start, as they can ,pe Increased rapid- ly from the small comets. Note, When cutting flower spikes for decorative, purposes do not out the stem too low down. Ldave two or three leaves below where they are cut to assist the corm to grow and develop. Cutting off all the foliage prevents- the corm from developing. —The`late Wm. Hunt,O. A. College, Guelph. ' About Asparagus. At the beginning of July all cut- ting of asparagus should cease,. the beds should be heavily top -dressed with manure, and the plants allowed I to grow during the remainder of the season. Carefulspraying of this crop I with poison Bordeaux is necessary if the beetles are Very active. Keep the wheel hoe gCing during the early morning, so that weeds will be killed during the heat of the sun. Apply water as often as necessary, ao that the plants will wake a • constant growth. Never work among plants while they are wet, as this spreads diseases. When to Cut Wheat. Wheat may be cut with safety when the straw has lostnearly all its green color and, the grains are not entirely hardened. If cut sooner than tele, shriveled kernels will result. If left standing until fully ripe, a bleached appearance, due: to the action of the elements, often results, and loss from shattering may ensue, Wheat that Is fully ripe is also more difficult to handle, Where the area of. wheat large, cutting should begin as early as it can be done safely. Poultry Increase Income. Produce infertile eggs by remove ing the roosters from the flock in the summer time. Provide clean nests and keep eggs clean. Gather the eggs twice-daily dur- ing the summer,' to prevent them'. from being heated by the hen. Keep them in a cool dry place away from the flies, Market them at least twice each week. Insist that they be bought on a quality bate. Producers are admonished not tg crew eftge, ' etive. _ .. , CLINTON.
