Be Your O'vn Developer of Geran- iyine._4 ght Fall Pruning of 9rolut,rds l% 40e --•The Barberry Iteda it4 §peeader of Rust In (Contributed by Ontario Department. of Agriculture, ,Toronto.) Toward the endof the summer, the amateur Sower grower often wonders how the stook of geraniums in the flower border can be increased and preserved by some other means than by taking up the old plants in the autumn; the last named method not having. perhaps, proved.success- ful in past seasons. By starting fair- ly early, toward the end of August, before cold chilly nights appear, a nice supply of young plants, more especially of all kinds o£Cgeraniums. of the flowering kind, or those hav- ing fragrant leaves, or even the bronze or silver leaved kinds, can be had by starting cuttings or slips' of these plants. First of all obtain a shallow box about three inches deep, ten or twelve •inches wide, and from twelve to twenty-four inches in length; an empty haddie (fish) box will do very well. It should have some small holes bored through the bottom for drainage. Pack this box firmly with moist, clean, gritty sand; sand that will make good stone mor- tar will do, 'filen take the terminal or` top part of the young growth of plants about four or five inches in length, each shoot or cutting having from four to six joints where leaves are produced. Make the base of the cutting just below one of these nodes or leaf joints, making a clean cut with a sharp knife flat across, Cut off aonre of the lower leaves, leaving two or three leaves at the top. Cut off all bloom buds and blossoms where possible. Make a hole or drill in the wet sand deep enough to set fully the length of stent of cuttings in the sand. Water them well once, and keep the sand moist until cut- tings are rooted, which should be in five or six weeks' time. The box can be set out of doors in partial shade until the first week in September when they can be taken into the window. When cuttings have roots about an inch in length dig them carefully from the sand without in- juring the roots and pot them singly intoae,11.8 iliei3 pots or set them about two inches apart in well drained shallow boxes in a soil made up et one part sand, one part leaf mould. and about six parts of light loamy soil enriched with one part of dry pulverized cow manure from the pasture field. This last is one of the best poeeible fertilizers for soil for pot plants. Set the young plants in the window in a temperature of 60 to 70 degrees Fahr. an ordinary house temperature. Salvia, Agera- tum, Lally Washington Geraniums, Fucheiae, Iresine, Lobelia and many other plants can be started from cut- tings in this way.—The late Wm. Hunt, 0. A. College, Guelph. Limit Fall Praising Is Safe. Light pruning in fall is permis- sible, but heavy pruning is dangerous Ind likely to result in serious dam- ige from winter killing, especially if the succeeding winter is severe. The injury is caused by drying out of the cut area and may be prevented by covering all wounds of any size with a good corering of paint .made from pure lead and oil. Do not use pre - :red paints, as these contain injur- t.ons benzine or turpentine dryers. To :make an effective covering it will be neceeeary to give not less than two coats, beeause one coat will not pre- vent checking and drying of green wood. Coal tar makes an excellent wound covering and is easily applied. This matter of co'ering wounds made in fall or early winter is fre- quently trlighted by orehard men, but the writer has seen such serious damao result from neglect of this precaution that he feels justified in warning fruit growers with regard to the prentioe. In experimental trials in the College apple orchard, s arie- ties so hardy as Duchess of 0 den - burg, Wolf River, Snow and Scott's Winter have suffered very serious in- jury following November pruning with the cuts left unprotected. The wound's 'dry out around the edges and by spring the dead area is great- ly • enlarged, frequently extending :clown the trunk or branch for a foot 'or niece. The dead bark comes away later leavring. a large dead area, detr•i- menteI to the parts above and cer- tain also to.decay later. It is not likely that injury would follow the cutting of branches below an 'husk in size unless many were remeeed and there probably would be no -necessity _for covering such wounds. All above this size, how- ever, should be thoroughly protected. —J. W. Crow, 0. A. College, Guelph. Ba Hedge Spoiled Ten Crops:-. Hundreds andhundreds of in- staneee can be cited to show that the comnaolt barberry is the .most im- portant factor in the spread of rust in irerthweet states. In a Govern- ment bulletin on rust and barberry, Dr. C. ffi. Stakman of Minnesota Uni- versity Farm relates the experience of a fwrmer. at Crystal Bay;: Lake Minnetonka, Minn., who had a 'bar-: berry kedge of 635 bushes. He had tried to grow oats on his farm for ten posers,. but each year the black stem mist destroyed almost all the grains. Then one spring he destroyed the kedge before the 'bushes had be- come : rested. Ten days before the l arreet the field wasexamined tiler+•a t11>y and no stem rust could be rewind. The yield and quality proved be be excellent.` It- was the first- Wiese in ten years that a. crop had boon grown successfully on that farm. revery land owner should -•be-' gin wayLu the spring to destroy, the barberry 'for the proteation of grain crops.

Ancient and modern. The little cannon captured by the British at Bunker $ill, 'rests neer the Quebec Citadel by the side of n howityer- which Tell to the Canadians in the Great -War. 5 Though their farms are modern, souse farmers still use the ex as beast of burden in the back country. THESE are just a few pictures taken in Quebec. It is not without reason that this province is becoming the tourist resort of the continent, for here is a country of utmost fascination and intrigue. Quebec has an at- mosphere all its own and, if it can be said, more of an old- world atmosphere thanhas the old-world of today. Quebec is the eighteenth century keeping pace with the twentieth, yet retaining its identity. ,e One stops at little wayside shrines. The wooden cross, the patron saint in effigy, the nurtured flowers, the woman at her distaff, the white -walled houses close at hand transport you to the distant land from whence the original settlers came. Yet, over there, beyond that little hedge or cedar fence the farmer gathers in his crop with up-to-date,machinery,.and stores it in a modern barn. Behind, the hula of thetelegraph wire reminds you that you are not living in a by -gone day and, if that is not enough, through the not too distant fields, a huge train thunders. Near the white walls the lady of the house draws water from the old-fashioned well, and bakes her bread in an old brick oven, the like of which was used by her ancestors in France four centuries ago. She spins her own wool and shares with her husband a faith, which though not old-fashioned, is almost as old as the Christian era. A kindly hospitable soul is she, nor is she always backward in learning, for. she probably attended the convent of the Ursulines at Quebec, or la petite 6cole at Louiseville. And her husband—He may becontent to wear the homespun, to sit around the fire, or on the threshold at night, to smoke his "Rouge Quesnel" and to drive .five miles to church early on all holidays in his buggyor in the straw, lined; cart that is' used about the farm, but he "knows his letters and, better still, he knows how to farm. t The Quebec farm is usually up-to-date. Your "habitant” gets all that can be got from the soil, and if you sit with him and talk you will see that he gets the fullness of life too. Give him the simple pleasures. He is happy if he can re -tell the story of the big moose he shot by "Lac Saint Pierre" and the bear. He is some traopsr too, "for sure I catch him lots of skin, me!" The "old man," the. "old woman" and that keen Y cry large family, are content as seldom people are, and rightly so, for theirs is a rich heritage, and beautiful. The mighty St. Lawrence and its thousand tributaries, the glorious Laurentians, with their wooded slopes, the forests, lakes and myriad streams give them a country almost un- excelled for beauty. Game and fish abound as has been discovered by sportsmen from outside. Moose, trout, , maskinonge, the big black bass, bear, deer and caribou. From a historians point of view Quebec is the hunting ground of the continent. Quebec city is one huge souvenir of the early days of Canadian settlement. Lost and re -captured several times her old Walls still bear the marks of storm, and the old cannons still guard the city and the approaches to the citadel. The history of Quebec is the history of Canada, priest, soldier and pioneer settler each having played a glorious part in the making of it. With the fair Dominion as a lasting memorial to their valor and courage,Quebec. links them with the present day; their faith, piety, and the work they commenced are being preserved and carried on by the present generation. The relies of their day scattered here and there, and on almost every street, look down or out upon the .most modern improvements of the age, the railways, and the huge Canadian Pacific and other steamships at the docks, but lose not their identity, and in the caseof buildings and; public; places, their charm and interest. All through Quebec province, and in the • most un- expected places one comes across historic links • with the past. Like her people Quebec is quiet, peaceful, and does not crave the limelight, but Quebec is not and cannot be overlooked. Itiis an old world, full of charm; within,; the new.
