BOWSFIELD o coo 0000000000000000000000 A little farm must in the nature of things be a family affair. The young people especially should be interested. In many cases boys and girls as well as their parents would love the coun- try if there were less drudgery and if they had a partnership or share in the live stock and vegetables. The family should be in full accord on the subject of bringing money making crops to the front. There are opportunities for quick re- turns on products that require little land or labor. Not one family in five hundred has ever grown peppergrass In the fall and winter or even in the spring. No other plant is so easy to gr'oW. All it needs is a fairly moist, fairly rich soil and a temperature of the ordinary living room or even less. The seeds wilt germinate at 40 de- grees, and the plants will grow a little ;at that. If 50 or more degrees can be secured during the day and the tem- perature not fall below freezing at night this dainty little salad can be grown very easily. The box in which the seed is to be sown need not be deeper than three inches, and any convenient size for handling will do. Sow the seed thick- •ly about one-quarter or one-half inch deep in rows two or three inches apart, Arm it slightly and cover with a pane of glass or two or three thicknesses of newspaper until the plants begin to appear. This is to check evaporation. Then tilt the glass for a few days so a i quarter inch crack will be made at one side. When the seedlings get an inch tall the glass may be removed. No other attention is required than watering and pulling out an occasional 1 weed If any such appear. But the plants grow so fast that the weeds will not be troublesome. In three or four weeks the plants will be ready for use. A pair of shears will be found best for 000000000000 0000 000 0000 union sets are sensitive to weeds and grass, and for this reason the most diligent care is necessary in cultiva- tion. In spite of all that can be done with weeding implements there is al- ways some hand weeding necessary, and the amount of this required will depend a great deal on the way the work of cultivating the crop is handled during the early part of the season. Beans, potatoes, cabbage, celery and tomatoes are all typical and profitable little farm crops. A truck gardener tells me that to- mato blight can be prevented by a lit- tle scheme upon which he fell by acci- dent. His method is to plant carrots between the rows, and be is authority for the statement that if this is done blight will not appear among the to- mato plants. He has tried tbis for two years, and. although the disease was bad among the tomatoes of the neighborhood. bis plants were not mo- lested at all. The discovery came through the planting 02 root vegetables among the vines which grew fruit in their tops in order to conserve his garden space as much as possible. Carrots were plant- ed among some of the tomatoes and other vegetables among others. The carrot rowed tomatoes had not a trace of blight, but the farther back the to- matoes were from the carrots the more blight appeared. D000O•Don°oleo 00mon erastroo o o o° o POULTRY GOSSIP.

English walnuts, the most valuable and important of all nuts, have been grown in the United States for nearly two centuries, writes Harry 13. Potter, associate editor of the Country Gentle- man. The first trees were introduced as curiosities. They have a white bark and are beautiful shade trees. A good many were planted in New York, New Jersey and Long Island, but nothing whs done with them commercially. Finally, about 1570, California took an interest in English walnuts, whose more correct but less used name is Per- sian walnuts, In 1597 California's wal- nut crop was (1,000,000 pounds; by 1905 she exceeded 12,000,000 and by 1912 bad nearly a million bearing walnut • Utilize Potash. Where the soil is in need of potash It should be applied. In the attempt to meet the need fertilizer manufacturers have agreed to utilize their present supply of potash in the effort to sup- ply fertilizers with at (east 2 or 3 per cent of potash next spring. It is be- lieved that a supply sufficient for this purpose is already at hand In this country. In the meantime it is well to take advantage of our own sup- ply of potash in oar farmyard ma- nures _ ONIO9. 010wrll0 I9 PSeBiTA-nLa. cutting. They should be used about an I ineb above the soil, so stumps of the pant will remain. These stumps will send out new tops for a second cut- ting, which may be made about two 'weeks later. Onion growing is exceedingly profit- able, owing to the high prices which prevail most of the time. This Is a product that any who will work ran make a success of. Land that will produce a good crop of onions will grow a good crop of onion sets. The soil should not contain large quantities of raw nitrogenous •matter. If stable manure is used as a fertilizer it should be well rotted and, if possible, applied; in the fall before planting. A liberal quantity of lime applied to the soil will show wonderful results. The Yellow Strasburg is a good variety, but many' prefer the Yellow Globe Danvers. Ai - most any varieties will do, however. We sow the seed at the rate of from ' fifty to sixty pounds per acre. It Is. advisable to make the rows about fourteen inches apart, running the seeder twice in the rows, as it is de- sirable to scatter the seed over as wide a epace as possible in the''r'ows.. In order to have a good stand theseed. should lie in the rows at the rate of at least 500 to the foot. The sets are 'usually kept cleau with a hand wheel ,lice unless they are grown on a large scale for commercial purposes, in which case the rowe are made three feet apart so that a home can be used in cultivation ,grE 1tR,i,tl t',t��,(i.ZOt t ee Tat pt bryertt tL,.ut,ncAci.

Wide awake Oregon copies California and now has 10,000 bearing trees. with 180,000 more growing as fast as they can. Mississippi, the third walnut state, is far behind. with only 9,000 English walnut trees all told. So you can see that none of tbe states where English walnut growing started made anything at all out of the business compared with the westerners. The markets, too, are good, for even with the increased production the average yield in California for ten years back has been 5,000 tons short of importa- tions. English walnuts are regarded by the California development board as a line of farming "where the production is regular and the returns good." The average price to the grower for the past ten years has beeu $300 u ton, or 15 cents a pound. The trees require rich soil, plenty of moisture and a moderate climate. Some of the hardiest English walnut trees on the Atlantic coast are found ad far north as Massachusetts. P'roni New Jer- sey southward the business has com- mercial possibilities. Choosing suita- ble varieties cannot be emphasized too strongly. The new kinds lately de- veloped may do well where other kinds have in the past failed entirely. As with corn and peaches, which years ago were considered only southern crops, English walnuts may with care be grown in middle latitudes. They graft readily on black walnut stocks, and such trees are claimed by trustworthy authorities to yield more abundantly and also stand the winter better than those grown on English walnut stock. Maryland has about 100 English walnut trees, according to Mr. Co 1'. Close of the experiment station of that state. He asserts that the quality is good, and one tree fifty years old has pro- duced from three to ten bushels of nuts per year for the last thirty years. The station has purchased 1,200 Eng- lish walnut trees, which' are to be used for experimental purposes.

Toronto Saturday Night: There is every probability that before mid summer we will have had a general election. Just what this election is going to accomplish other than an ex cube for mud throwing between the two political parties, is hard to say. Possibly the lion. Robert Rogers,wbo has had his mind set on this election for some months, and whose word ap pears to he law aCOttawa, considers a general election at this time the last hest bet. In other words, itisa case of now or never for Bub and his friends. The Tory party no doubt figures that the eight or ten thousand names on the patronage list at Ottawa most of whom have been richly re. warded—at public expense— since the first of the war contracts were given out, will have no little influence with the general result. These people are expected to come forward—those, at least, who have not skipped the coun try -and give back to the party some of the loot extracted from the treasury. The Grits, having had no opportunities at the till, will he obliged to content themselves with conducting their campaign cm the cheap. No doubt tbe Nova Scotia horse traders, the binocular sellers, the fel lows who sold jam for soldiers at prices 25 per cent above the mark. -. will all sae to it that the Tory machine is properly greased, which, in the face of the scandalous corruption which has taken place and the present state of the public mind, will un questionably be very much needed. Ent why a general election in the face of the war? Olin any tiolitical party be fool enough to imagine that these scandals can thus be taken out and buried in unmarked graves? Or has the Tory party got to the point where it is atraid that the scandals which may crop up between now and September, 1916 (at which time the present parliament would have run its natural course), will be such as to make a return to office altogether unlikely? No man but a hide -bound party man blinded by self-interest and party feelings can look for this pending election with anything but regret.
