In this manner one tall stetn from to 1 inch in diameter and from 3 to 15 feet high will be formed. The size and height will depend upon the varlet.. When well started the plants should be rapidly forced along. As soon as the ball of soil becomes filled with roots, shift to a size larger pot, until the 6 or 8 inch size is reachn. Most varieties will not need a larger size than this, The soil should be composed of one-third well -rotted cow manure. finely Pulveriz- ed, one-third well rotted turf fiber, which should be one year old, a little bone meal, a 4 -inch pot full to a wheel- barrow of soil, and a weekly Watering with weak liquid manure. The, greatest care should be exercised to ave the best rich soil obtainable and have it finely pulverized or sifted. For manure water, sink a half barrel in the ground, fill quarter full of cow manure and fill with rain water. Use this not oftener than once a week. If the little black bugs appear, in the early'morning when the dew is on the plants, sprinkle over each plant, es- pecially on the head and blids, finely ground tobacco dust. Repeat'this once a week.. Cuttings may be made from the old plant for these large, single' blooms at any time during May or June or may be purchased of the florist. If bought of the latter be sure. and tell him the plants aro wanted for single bloomers and the last -made cuttings are prepared. The plants may be left out of doors in the open sun until August, when they should have a slight covering, made by erecting four poles and spreading over them can- vas or boards. During frosty nights the plants should be placed under glass. Do not let the buds between the stem and leaves develop into branches, as this weakens the plant and will surely re- duce the size of - the flower in the fall. Pinch the buds, give rich imellow soil and water daily and large flowers may be easily raised by almost anyone. END VIEW OF FIIEN/CE. with ship lap perpendicularly placed.

We had a big time we had t Stamp Out the Blackberry Bust. Blackberry and raspberry anthracnose or rust is produced on the 'canes in the form of small round or elongated whitish patches, slightly flattened and bordered with a ring of dark purple. These patches gradually increase in. size and number, and finally destroy the new growth or stunt it badly. -Upon the leaves it is often visible as very small yel- lowish spots surrounded by a dark border, resembling those on the canes and leaves. The fungus producing the disease passes the winter in the deseased canes and leaves, a fresh crop of spores is produced from the old spots in the spring, and the new canes and foliage are readily affected. The raspberry anthracnose soon be- comes deeply seated in the canes, and no fungicide can reach it. The disease can be greatly retarded by cutting out and burning all diseased wood.I It should be cut out in winter or very , early spring, below the lowest diseased spot. If the canes are then sprayed before the leaves start, with a solution of sulphate of cop- per, using one pound to twenty-five gal- lons water, and if necessary, sprayed two or three times during the summer with Bordeaux mixture, very little dam- age is to be feared. -LIARM IN GREY FOR SALE.—For sale Lots 13 X and 14, Concession 18, Grey, the farm of the late George Campbell_ containing 128 acres, nearly all cleared and in a good state of cultivation, well underdrained and fenced, also a splendid bearing orchard.

Among the garden crops, peas, sweet corn and tomatoescan be most success- fully grown with ,the least expenditure of manure. This is worth remenibering by those whose crop of the latter product is Short. It pays to prepare the soil in a good tilth, to set the plants properly deep and to use all reasonable care to see that the roots should come in close contact with the soil, and the more fully this is done the better will be the results secured. There is one item in reference to watering plants that is important, and that is to water thoroughly. Better water thoroughly once a week, soaking the soil well around the roots, than to sprinkle lightly, as is often done, once every day. Have the soil in a good tilth and then pour on sufficient water to soak the soil thoroughly around the roots. For the first hoeing of the garden use a rake. This may be a little mixed, but it is just what we mean. A light steel rake with long, sharp teeth, will cultivate between the rows, killing weeds and loosening the crust much more rapidly and better than a hoe can do it. The best way to regulate the quality of the milk is through the 'body of the cow, for then she will not be restricted in food, and will' give a larger yield of milk. To get the solids into tho milk feed on rich food, of a varied kind, in addition to that secured on the pasture. Above all give her an abundance of water.
