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

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. Looks nice
and frank of 'elle Every one o'
Clinton's CnunciUors. {rem the
Reeve drawn, wears.ea moustache.
also the town clerk. the Mayor
only is least shaven:"

By W. H. T.
Well, the Hon. G. 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

Lomat on. --An open, sunny pee It Ion
suits them best,
Soil.—They prefer a deep, well
drained, fairly rich, to tiny soil, but
will do well In almost any good gar-
den soil. 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.

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.
