Well -rotted, Tough, Fibrous Sod the
best Basis—How to Prepare It --
Substitute Potting Soil Bone
Meal a 'Valuable Fertilizer.
(Contributed by Ontario Depa,rtnient of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
ECURING suitable soil or com-
post foi all features of ` flori-
culture or horticulture is a
very important matter if the
best results are to be obtained.
The best basis for all ordinary pot-
ting soils is well -rotted, tough, fib'
rous sod, taken from loamy" or light
',clay loam soils. Sod from an old
pasture . field, or from the roadside,
from, where the grass has been kept
fed or cut down constantly, will give
the closest growing sod, with lots of
fibrous roots attached. These fibrous
roots are one of the very necessary
1 essentials in potting' soils to keep
the soil open and friable. The sod
should not be cut from heavy clay
soils, or where noxious weeds, espe-
cially "couch," "spear" or "twitch"
grass is growing. Thei 'sod should
not be cut from near pine or cedar
trees as the turpentine in the leaves
or pinnae of these trees 'is very de-
trimental to plant life. It is also
best not to cutthe sod from very
swamp soil. Well -rotted barnyard
manure such as from an old hot bed,
or cow manure, are both good ferti-
liers to use for a soil compost. Horse
manure alone Is not a good fertilizer
for a compost. About one-third horse
manure and the balance scow manure
will be suitable. Late in autumn or
early spring is. the best time to pre-
pare the soil compost, 'autumn pre-
ferred.
How to Prepare.—The sod should
be cut about four inches thick, and
about eight to ten inches square. ,It
should be $disked out of doors in an
out-of-the-way part of the garden or
grounds. A space six or eight feet
long by Ave o; Six feet wide would
be a good supply for a small green-
house.
reenhouse. or for a. few hot beds for • a
year or two.. Start by placing one
layer . of sod packed close together
with. the grass -side downward toyer,
the space selected. Then add a se-
card and third layer on top of the
first layer. About four or five Inches
la depth of either of the fertilizers
meatLoaed should now be spread
evenly ever the thlrd layer
e[ sod.
Another three layers of sod should
then be placed on top of the terti•
liser es before. Theis another layer
of the fertiliser as before, and so on
until the pile is four or Ave feet in
height. About two inches .in depth of
sell 'should be -placed'on' top of the
pile to anish oil - with. Piave some

or cedar) all oyer the top of the pile

good soakings with water after it is.
finished, or during- dry weather in
summer, to hasten decomposition. In
six to eight months it should be ready
for use and will keep in good condi-
tion for about two years.
Preparing for Use.—When ready
for use, trim or slice down, with a.
sharp spade, the quantity required
from top to bottom of the pile go as
to secure the proper proportions of
soil and fertilizer. For potting pur-
poses this should be put through a
coarse sieve having a %-inch mesh.
All the decayed fibrous part and the
'fertilizer, should be worked through
the sieve. The partly decayed fibrous
or organic matter that will not pass
through the sieve readily should be
chopped or pulled finely to pieces and
put into the soil, if at all decom-
posed. ,
Tempering or Mixing Soils.—If the
soil .is of a heavy clay loamy nature
about one part sand should be nixed
at the time of using, with eight or
nine parts of the sod compost for re-
potting purposes, for plants such as
geraniums, roses, chrysanthemums
and similar plants. If the soil the
sod is taken from is of a light
loamy nature, a very little sand, if
any, will be required.
For Begonias, Coleus, Callas
(Arum Lilies), Gloxinia,, Salvia,
Ferns and similar plants one part pf
leaf soil, (rotted leaves) or black soil
from the bush (decayed leaves), may
be added to the compost and sand
before mentioned. Black leaf soil
from the bush alone does not make
a good potting soil for but very few
plants, it should be mixed with other
soil as stated.
Substitute Potting Soil. ---A good
substitute potting soil orcomupost may
be made by mixing about seven or
eight parts of good, light, loamy gar-
den soil, or loamy sub -soil taker,
from underneath sod, with one part
sand and one part leaf soil as beforel
mentioned, mixed well together. One
part of dry _cow manure, which can
be secured from the fields where
cows have pastured, or one- part of
i.,.-, _..Zeit ;,hcup manure should be
auued as aertilizer for this substi-
tute -patine soil. The pulverized
prepared sheep manure can be pur-

at the rate of about 42 per 100
pounds. Or about one pound 01 fine
bone meal or bone flour to each
bushel of soil may be used as a sub-
stitute fertilizer to those named.
Sheep and cow manure are two of the
best fertilizers to use in connection
with all horticultural work, whether
incorporated in potting composts as
stated, or used out of doors as liquid
solutions for flowed' borders or the
vegetable garden during summer, if
the ground is not rich enough in fer-
tilizers. Seepage from the barnyard
diluted one-half with "water makes a
good liquid fertilizer for outdoor use
where the soil is poor.—Wm. Hunt,
O. A. College, Guelph.

His experimental nursery is located
in :a sheltered valley in the shadow
of famous Mount Tamalpais. In this
secluded spot, working without much
danger of interruption from the out-
side world, Richard Diener has in a
little more than three years tripled
the size of half a dozen well known
Hewers. He claims to have made six
bushels of wheat grow where one grew
before; to have developed a blight
proof _ tomato bearing fruits weighing
three pounds each; a potatoe many
times the size of ordinary "spuds" and
a white Leghorn rooster weighing ten
pounds, 'whose progeny may lay mam-
moth eggs. It is to be hoped that
the quality of the flesh of the Leg-
horns for food has been improved in
proportion to the size.
If Mr. Dietier has produced what
he claims, it will certainly pay him
` to exhibit his products in the East.
The International .Flower Show to be
held in this city in March offers an
excellent opportunity.
Diener_ is a short, stock man of
forty --six, and began experimenting
with plants when a lad of fourteen in
the Hartz Mountains in Germany.
The results he is now obtaining are
the fruits of lifelong experience and
hard work.
At seventeen he began to notice
that certain plants increased in size
through crossing. It required fifteen
years for him to master the process.
Meantime he emigrated to England,
where he practised horticulture for
several years, then moved to Costa
Rica, from which point he exported
orchids to all parts of the world. In
1904, he .came to America.
In whatever part of the world he
might be located always he was at
Work crossing different 'varieties of
flowers.' Hybridizing species and
"tearing up strains," as he described
it. He met with many,failures and
had numerous disheartening experi-
ences. +Even after. he had practically
mastered the system of making every-
thing larger -through hybridizing—
even chickens—he found himself sud-
denly " without means to prosecute his
experience, and, in desperation, ap-
pealed to Congressman William Kent,
of California, who' financed his pres-
ent enterprise.
Here, during the early years of
the war, he perfected his marvellous
"Liberty wheat"—planting eighteen
pounds of seed to the acre instead of
the usual sixty pounds ---and reaping
a yield of 150 bushels an acre, as
against the twenty-five or thirty which
result from the average crop.
He then turned his •attention to
corn, and though California is not a
corn country, producing, it is said, an
ear weighing two pounds and a" half,
grown on great twelve feet stalks
that bear as many as, a dozen ears
apiece.
Diener claims to have produced a
blight resisting tomato, perfectly -
round and weighing three pounds
each, and white . beans many times
the usual size. .
The experiments began with flowers
resulting in carnations much larger
than ordinary flowers, large flowering
gladioli and petunias. These petunias
are continually in bloom all summer
long. Directly opposite to the
ordinary petunias, which wither al-
most immediately after they are pick-
ed, these flowers when cut and put

in water will last for two or three
weeks and new flowers will bloom
while in water.
Diener says it is all done by scien-
tific crossing. It requires two gen-
erations of cross breeding and careful
scientific selection to develop the big
flowers and plants. The exact pro-
cess he declines to divulge at present
—not because he wishes to keep it
secret, but because he refuses to im-
part such knowledge except through
careful personal teaching. Whether
Diener has discovered something new.
or has simply worked out well known
Iaws remains to be seen.
During the course of a recent inter-
view regarding his work,, Mr: Diener
said: --
"I believe I have conclusively prov-
ed that any variety of a plant, fruit,
flower" or grain, or any variety of
animal can be enlarged at will, and
the process can be repeated until that
size is obtained which is most desired
Ifor continuous use, In plants it takes
only one cross to double the size of
' the parents. In animals, I have had
opportunity to try it on chickene
only. It takes two crosses to bring
the same result. So I aro. ure it
works, with animals as with 'plants,
in which I have tried it a thousand
different ways. Another interesting
fact is that by reversing the process
I can make plants smaller with each
crossing.
"This discovery means so much to
civilization that few will be able to
grasp its effect. Already from the
common wheat producing twenty-five
to thirty bushels per acre as used by
the farmers here, I have produced
new varieties which yield at the rate
of 150 bushels per acre, and this with
the same labor, the same fertilization
and the same land.
"The flesh is more solid than any
other tomato now known, and for
dehydrating is a most valuable var-
iety. It is a magnificent dark red
shade, which makes it very attractive;
it is very sweet and free of the acid
taste.
"The most astonishing thing about
this tomato is that it has proven to
be absolutely blight resisting. Last
year thousands of acres in California
were destroyed by blight, and this
tomato was grown alongside of other
varieties which have been killed off
entirely by blight and has not been
in the least affected.
"Thus far my work has been chief-
ly with flowers; it is only since the
latter part of 1015, at the request of
Congressman William Kent and with
his financial aid, that l have worked
on food plants •such as wheat corn,
tomatoes, beans and Sudan grass.
"As- to my methods, I will mention
the fact that when I was but seven-
teen years of age, while crossing
tuberous- begonias, I found that many
of the resulting offsprings were vigor-
ous in -growth and the flowers there-
from greatly increased in size. These
observations suggested an unknown
law worth hunting for.
"Consequently, 1 made an endless
number of crosses, keeping careful
records of the sizes of the plants used
or of the sizes of the flowers used in
making the various crosses. With
these records at hand when the seed
ings came into bloom, it gradually be-
came clearer to me that I was on the
track of something very useful, for
while all the crosses showed different
results," oe►in crosses gave me an
inkling of the method to be used in
increasing the size of plants and
making other desired variations:
"Fifteen years of constant experi-
ment was required to work out this
process to such a point of perfection
that I could) be confident of results.
This confidence now extends to cer.-
tainty as to results which will be
obtained from certain proposed cross-
ings, as to size, form or color."
BOOK .COLLECTING A RICH
MAN'S HOBBY
In the view of the erudite New York
Post, the $12,600 just paid by a Phil-
adelphian for the MS. of Lamb's "Dis-
sertation Upon Roast Pig" is a tribute
to one who was a warm enthusiast in
book collecting. - Twelve shillings six-
pence would usually have been a large
Sum for Lamb. But any literary
treasure he could ill resist. As "Brid-
get Elia" reminded him, he once wore
his brown suit till it grew threadbare
and all his friends cried shame upon
him—"and all because of that folio
Beaumont and Fletcher which you
dragged home late at might from
Barker's in Covent Garden." They
eyed! it for weeks before making up
their minds, he and Bridget. They
reached a decision "near ten o'clock
of the Saturday night, when you set
off from Islington, fearing you should.
be too late." The shopkeeper was
grumblingly roused, and then came
the rapturous hours "when we were
exploring the perfectness of it (col-
lating, you called it), and while I
was repairing some of the loose
leaves with paste, which your om-
patience wouldnot suffer to be left
till daybreak." The folio Beaumont
and Fletcher is in the British Mu-
seum.
useum.
There is a charm in buying out of
small means not felt in "buying out
of wealth. Would Lamb not assert
that collecting is nowadays too much
a rich man's hobby? The pleasure
is less, even as his and Bridget's
pleasure is early strawberries dimin-
ished as they grew prosperous. C.
K. Shorter, has lamented thht the
$75,000 just paid for the Britwell
Court "Venus and Adonis" the only
copy not in a museum or state library
—was fib more to Henry E. Hunting-
ton than a florin would be to him.
George 'D. Smith, who has just re-
turned with this treasure, and has
long been Mr. Hunitington's adviser -
agent, is said to have handled $8,000,-
000
8,000;000 worth of purchases for this cus-
tomer alone. No one, unless pos-
sibly Quaritch, of London, has ap-
proached such a total. It is not
manly years since men gasped at the
sale of the Gutenberg Bible at - the
Hoe auction here for $50,000 and
the purchase of the MS. of Milton's
"Cornus" for $14,250.
Recent prices are evidence that rates
are going up. It is but natural, 1
There are more rich collectors than ,
ever before. Great varieties have a
way of slipping by bequest into pub- 1
lie custody—Mr. Huntington's will go
to the State of California—leaving •
the demand keener for those still - on
the market. Mr. Edward' A. Newton,
author of "The Amenities of Book
Collecting," wrote some time ago that
a generation hence collectors will' be
surprised at present-day "bargains,"
as we are surprised at those of
Huth's day. A First Folio of excel-
lent quality might now be had for `s
only $25,000.
Fortunately, one need not possess -
a fraction the wealth of .a Widlener
or Huntington to be both a joyous
and a respectable collector. The sea
of books is vast, and if whales like
Gutenberg Bibles and first editions of
"Paradise Lost" are beyond your .
purse steady angling will still yield
a good string of fishes, though it is a
dismaying fact that booksellers grow
so Iearned. In the good old days (as
it seems to our present regretful '
view) they could be counted on to let
men buy brown, parcels of old books
unwrapped, finding a copy of Blake's
"Songs of Innocence" or a Kilmar-
nock Burns in a lot costing a few
dollars. . Now their knowledge of
bibliography shames a Ph.D.
But finds are still possible. A
man, moreover, may take a dis-
tinctly limited field—may set out to
render himself master of Har-
dyana, Hawthorniana or Jarnesiana,
and by dint of highly specialized
knowledge, hard application and
skilful dovetailing of items form a
library that in the end would seem
quite beyond his means. Stalking

is a promising start toward an en-
viable collection. It was' not very
long after the remainders of "Omar
Khayyam" sold at two cents, and
those of "Endymion" at eight, that
they were worth their weight in
gems.

CHAPTER XXXI
The year that had passed had
seemed a very long one to John, but
as the months canoe and went he had
in a measure adjusted himself to the
change in his fortunes and environ-
ment; and so as time went on the
poignancy - oft his sorrow and regret
diminished, as it does with all - of us.
Yet the sight of a gray-haired man
still brought a pang to his heart, and
there were times of yearning longing
to recall every line of the .face, every
detail of the dress, - the voice, the
worsts, of the girl who had been so
dear to him andha
w . hod gone out
t
of his life as irrevocably, it seemed to
him, as if by death itself. It may be
strange, but it,is true that for a very
long time it never . occurred to him
that he might comMunicate with her
by mailing a letter to her New York
address to be forwarded, and when
the thought came to him the impulse
to act upon it was very strong, but
he did not do so. Perhaps he would
have written had he been less in love
with her, but also there was .mingled
with that sentiment something • of
bitterness which, though he could not

quite explain or justify, did exist.
Then, too,, he said to himself, "Of
what avail would it be? Only to keep
alive a longing for the impossible"
No, he would forget it all. Men had
died and worms had eaten them, but
not for love. Many men lived all
their lives without it and got on very
well too, he was aware. Perhaps
some day, when he had become thor-
oughly affiliated and localized, he
would wed a village maiden, and rear
a Freeland County brood. Our friend
as may be seen had a pretty healthy
mind, and we need not sympathize
with him to the disturbance of our
own peace.
Books accumulated in the best bed-
room. John's expenses were small,
and there was very little temptation,
' or indeed opportunity, for spending.
At the time of his taking possessioni
of his quarters in David's house he
had raised the question of his contri-
bution to the household expenses, but
Mr. Harum had declined to discuss
the matter at all and referred him to
, Mrs. Bixbee, with whom he compro
raised on a weekly sum which appear-
' ed to him absurdly small, but which
she protested she was ashamed to ac-
cept. After a while a small upright
piano made its appearance; with Aunt
Polly's approval.
"Why, of course," she said. "You
needn't to hev ast me. I'd like to hev
you anyway. I like music ever so
rntieh, an so does David, though I
guess it would floor him to try - an'
raise a tune. I used to sing quite a
little when I was younger, an' I gen'-
ally help at church an' prayer meet -
in' now. Why, cert'nly. Why not?
When would you play if it wa'n't in
the evenin'? Davids sleeps over the
wing. Do you hear him snore?" •
"Hardly ever," replied John, smil-
ing. "That is to say, not very much
just enough sometimes to know that
he is asleep."
"Wa'al," she said decidedly, "if he's
fur enough off so 't - you can't hear
him; I guess he won't hear you much,
an' he sure won't bear you after he
gits to sleep." .
So the piano Caine, and was a great
comfort and resource. Indeed, before
long it. became the regular order of
things for David - and 'his sister to
spend an hour or so on Sunday even-
ings listening to his music and their
own as well—that is, the music of
their choice --which latter was mostly
to be found in "Canning. Sacra" and
"Moody and Sankey"; and Aunt
Polly's heart was glad indeed when
she and John together made concord
of sweet ° sounds in some familiar
hym=( tune, to the great edification
I of Mr. Harem, whose admiration was
unbounded, -
"Did I tell you," said David: to Dick
Larabee, "what happened the last
time me an' John went ridin' to..
gether?"
"Not's 1 remember on," replied
Disk.
"Wa'al, we've rode together .quite : z
consid'able," said Mr. Harum,, "but It
hadn't never said anythin' to him a-
bout talon' a turn at the lines. This
day we'd got a piece out into the
country an.' I had the brown colts. 1
says to him, 'Ever do any drivin'?"
"'More or less,' he :says.

got wee-wawed putty near square a-
cross the track. Now I tell ye," said
Mr. Harum; "them - posses didn't like
it fer a cent,' an' tell the truth I
didn't like it no better. We couldn't
gq ahead fer we couldn't git by the
cussed thing, an'. the hosses was 'par =-
ntly tryin' to git back under the
buggy, an', scat my 1 if he didn't
straighter% 'em out an' beck 'em r�und
- in that narrer road, an' hardly scrap-
ed a wheel. Yes, sir," declared Mr.
1 Harum, "1 couldn't 'a' done it slicker
myself an' I dont know nobody that
could." -
t "Guess you must 'a' felt a little
ticklish yourself," said- Dick sympa-
thetically, laughing as usual.
. "Wa'al, you better believe," declar-
ed
eelared the other "The' was 'bout half a
minute when ra have sold out nighty
cheap, ant took a promise fer . the
money. He's welcome to drive any -
team in my barn," said David, feel-
ing—in which view Mr. Larrabee
shared—that encomium 'was pretty
well exhausted in that assertion.

IF .the -.Ford . Motor Company of
Canada, Limited, is able to build
.
up to the limit of its capacity, only
27,350 Ford Cars will be built for
use in Canada between January the
first and July the thirty-first of this
year. Divided among the total
population of Canada this means
one car to -every three hundred and
ten people. -
It is easy to see that many people
will be unable to get their Ford
Cars at all, and many will have to
wait for summer or fall delivery.
As Ford Dealers, in this territory,
we desire to deliver a car to every
person in this 'distrix who, wants
one, but we cannot get the cars un-
less we s�nd in the orders now.
If you will need a car later on,
don't wait till spring before order-
ing. Put yourself at the top of the
delivery list by signing an order
today.
