+ THE NEW WORLD. Interest Is Aroused in the Canadian West. =z The ex- Rihibits of grains and grasses, roctsand pei vegeta- ples, the product of the fer- estern Canada, which were made at the several state and county fairs in some of the Western States this fall, have awakened consid- erable interest in the lands which the Canadian Government has opened for settlement, and which are given free to settlers. The agents of the govern- ment, who are to be found in these States, are flooded with inquiries re- garding the conditions on which these lands may be secured. Large numbers have located on these lands during the past year, and send back to their friends most encouraging reports. They Say they have entered on an era of prosperity, and are well pleased with both the agricultural possibilities and the climate. The provinces of Mani- toba, Assinaboia and Alberta are spe- cially adapted to diversified farming. In some parts the country is specially adapted to stock raising, and it is be- ing profitably pursued. In these parts snow seldom remains a week at a time, the warm breezes from the ocean af- fecting the climate thus favorably. When the desirability of these lands is fully known there will be a rush such as has. scarcely ever before been known. Information as to low railway rates, illustrated pamphlets, ete., will be forwarded with pleasure by the De- partment of the Interior, Ottawa, Can- if you are not in possession of the name of an agent of the government. ap Puzzle Educator.

She seemed to have no life atall. Her blood became impure and fin- ally she became the victim of nervous pros- tration. Doctors did not help her. Most of the time she was confined to bed, was very nervous and irritable, and seemed on the verge of St. Vitus’ dance. “One morning,” said Mrs. Tucker, ‘the doctor told us to give her Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, which he brought with him. He said he was treating a similar case with these pills and they were curing the pa- | tient. We began giving the pills and the next day could see a change for the better, Discussed Their Daughter’s Case for Hours. The doctor came and was surprised to see such an improvement.

The manufacturers of the remedy called “5 drops,” which is guaran- teed to cure rheumatism, neuralgia, asthma, and kindred ailments, have re- ceived thousands of letters regarding their medicine, many of which have been published. The following is a sample of these letters: Oct. 10, 1897, 630 Main St., Springfield, Mass. Dear Sirs—I can not express my gratitude to God, also to you, for the benefit I am receiving from “5 drops.” I walk around my room without # crutch, which I have had to use a long time. * I firmly believe that with faith, patience and perseverence, “5 drops” will get the better of all diseases. My doctor says-it is indigestion has made me bloat so, but his medicine does not seem to reach my case. Respectfully yours, Mrs. A. Spring. The producers of “5 Drops,” who are the Swanson Rheumatic Cure Co., 167- 169 Dearborn street, Chicago, have de- cided to continue for another 30 days an offer which they made some weeks ago, namely, to send a sample bottle of “5 Drops,” prepaid, for 25 cents. They state that this is done as they know even a sample bottle will con- vince one of the value of their remedy. Also, large bottle, 300 doses, for $1.00, and for the next thirty days, three bot- tles for $2.50, FARM AND GARDEN. INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. _Bome Up-to-Date Hints Abont Cul- tivation of the Soil and Yields Thereof—Horticuiture, Viticulture and Floriculture. Farm Experiments. It is no disparagement to the work of our different experiment stations to say that there is a kind of investiga- tion which they can never perform, | Says Michigan Farmer. The principles on which successful farm practice must depend may be properly and effectively studied by these institutions, but in the practical application of the results thus secured there remains much which can only be successfully accomplished on the very farm to which the principles are to be applied. The infinite variety of soil and climatic conditions to which all crops are necessarily subjected, the wide differences which even individual farms offer, preclude the possibility of securing in any one locality the detail of data which shall control successful practice in all other localities and farms of the same political division. Upland and lowland, sand and clay, hard wood lands, and pine lands, dry lands and wet lands, all offer local pe- culiarities demanding variations of practical treatment which cannot be studied under opposite conditions and which render the results obtained un- der one condition wholly inapplicable to another. It seems, therefore, ob- vious that our official stations should devote a larger part of their efforts to the elucidation of principles and to the development of schemes and systems for private investigation and less time to the routine of plot trials and variety tests, which can have only local appli- eation and many of which are better and more effectively conducted by par- sies whose commercial interests are in- volved. To illustrate, the opinion or judgment of a reliable nurseryman or seedsman, always obtained as a result of personal experience and trial, is us- ually a safer guide to the selection of trees, plants, seeds and fruits adapted to the locality in which he is located, does business and has financial inter- ests, than any advice furnished on the same points by the experiment station located possibly miles away, and with soils and climatic conditions quite dif- ferent from those involved. It is impos- sible to suggest a plan of individual ex- perimentation which shall be universal- ly applicable, but a few suggestions as to the conditions to be met and the methods best calculated to secure trust- worthy and useful results seem feas- ible. The location should be as near- ly as possible the average soil of the farm, as convenient of access aS pos- sible and with an even aspect and drainage. The area devoted to the pur- pose must be controlled by the extent of the work contemplated. The site should be carefully divided and meas- ured into plots, between which vacant spaces of not less than three feet in width must be left to prevent as much as possible the effects of the treatment of one plot from affecting the results of its adjoining neighbors. The size of these plots will chiefly control not only the area required, but also the re- liability of results. The common mis- take in opinion and practice is that of too large plots. Really, the smaller the plots up to the minimum of practical working with farm methods and im- plements the better—1-10 acre may be given as a maximum area and 1-100 acre is probably a better and possibly the minimum feasible size of plot. The reason for this fact is not far to seek. Results must all be based on averages, and it must be obvious that 100 trials on 100 plots occupying an acre of ground will give greater probability of average correctness of conclusion than though the results were secured from a single trial occupying the entire acre. Horticulture in Public Schools. The heart of the United States is her public school, for the citizens of a country are her life-blood, and the school children of to-day are the citi- zens of to-morrow. It is conceded that the bulk of our best citizens come, not from the schools of the town and city, but from the rural schools. In the country schools the hope of the nation is centered. Is it not then well worth our while to give earnest heed to the things which should be taught in these schools and to the manner of teaching? Why do we tax ourselves to support these institutions? What is the grand object we have in view? Not the cramming of the children’s heads with as many dry facts as possible, but the proper training of their young and growing minds, so that they may be healthy and strong and sound—able to think clearly and independently and to reason closely. The studies best adapt- ed to this end should be carefully se- lected. One of the most valuable les- sons to be taught our children is the habit of keen and quick observation of the things about them. “Not to know at large of things re- mote From use, obscure and subtle, but to know That which before us lies in daily life Is the prime wisdom.” Horticulture is a highly desirable study, for several reasons: It teaches a love of the beautiful; it cultivates the observing habit; it stimulates original thought; last, but by no means least, it is supremely practical—a study of that which “before us lies in daily life,” and a thorough knowledge of which is the “prime wisdom” and essential to our prosperity and happiness. A great deal of time is spent in our schools in the teaching of things which are not of the slightest practical use, and there is much talk about the “mental disci- pline” afforded by these studies. “They are of no practical value, but think of the mental disciple they give” is the i } eo ——— ery whenever an attack is made upon them. Why not combine lessons of practical utility along with mental dis- cipline? This may be done by the teaching of horticulture. While not all of the boys and girls will become farmers, or gradeners, or fruit growers, the knowledge gained of plant and tree and soil and all of nature’s processes will be of use to them in any profes- sion, and will make them wiser and better men and women. While the study of horticulture is intensely prac- tical, it is also refining and elevating. It inculcates the grandest of all les- sons, by leading the minds of our youth through nature up to nature’s God. It is easier to say why horticulture should be taught in our schools than to prescribe just how. That, it seems to me, is the peculiar province of the teacher. We do not attempt to: tell our teachers just how they shall teach geography, or arithmetic, or grammar. Every good teacher has his own method of teaching each branch. We try, if we are wise parents, to secure the best teachers possible and allow them to. follow their own methods. However, a good text book is a prime requisite to the successful study of any branch of learning. But let the state declare that horticulture is one of the branches re- quired by law to be taught in the rural schools and some of the best minds in the country will at once set to work to produce text books to meet the de- mand. We shall, in a short time, have excellent ones, as we have in all other branches of study. Our wideawake and progressive teachers will take up the matter in their own vigorous fashion, and then we may safely leave the how with them. The day is almost here when we shall no more think of leaving the study of horticulture out of our schools than the study of arithmetic. If asked why we teach it, we shall answer em- phatically, “Because it is indispensa- ble.” Ss. N. FARNUM. flow Many Roosters to a Flock. The number of hens that can safely be put with a single male and be mod- erately sure of getting the greatest per cent of fertile eggs depends on the breed, age of stock and their sur- roundings, writes C. P. Reynolds in Farm and Home. During recent years I have had experience with Plymouth. Rocks that have shattered some of my theories on this subject. I had a flock of forty hens headed by three males, all having unlimited range. I lost two of the males, leaving only the one just as the breeding season was opening. During the spring this single male was responsible for the fertility of the whole flock. The percentage of fertile eggs was high and has not been surpassed on my farm even when I have used several males. A year ago I had about an equal number of hens in this flock, varying from yearlings to three-year- olds mated to young vigorous cockrels of a well-known eastern strain, and the percentage of fertile eggs was equally good. This season I used a two-year- old cock of the same strain to about the same flock and our hatching has never been more successful than the past spring. I mention these instances merely to show that, so far as my ex- perience is concerned, the old idea that one must proportion a male for every 10 or 12 hens is erroneous. There is one very important thing upon which I base my success, and that is I was careful to avoid any but strong, vig- orous stock, especially in the male line. I might add that they were allowed free range and consequently had plenty of exercise. This doubtless had con- siderable to do with the health and vig- or of the flock. Whether or not a flock is yarded makes a great differ- ence in the number of hens to a single male. I have known instances where one male was allowed to 20 Brahma hens on unlimited range, and also I have known cases where the birds were of the same strain and of practically the same general health, but yarded, half that number of females being al- most too many. In my experience I ean cite instances where a yarded pen of six hens, mated to a male, did not give as high a percentage of fertility as a flock having unlimited range of six times the number. The former had a yard 16 by 40. A Plea for Less Cotton.—The English manufacturers are getting our cotton’ for almost nothing. Your family needs potatoes, milk and butter, garden veg- etables and orchard fruits, such as peaches, apples, apricots, pears and blackberries. Joshua said to the chil- dren of Israel, “Choose ye this day whom you will serve.” I say to you, will you raise nothing but cotton or will you raise such things as your fam- ily needs? Will you work for the mil- lionaire factories of America and Eng- Jand, or will you work for your fam- ily? Dear reader, will you not this moment resolve that you will raise the things mentioned above for your fam- ily? Cheap cotton for England or milk and potatoes for your family, which will it be next year?

Grafting Wax.—The grafting wax is prepared by mixing, generally in equal parts, rosin, beeswax and oil. The proportions, though, must be varied to suit conditions. If the weather is cold too much rosin will make the grafting cloth stiff and brittle; if it is warm too much oil will make it sticky and dis- agreeable. In the former case use a little more oil, in the latter more rosin and less oil. Make hot and mix thor- oughly. While het soak a light weight but strong domestic in it, then hang out to dry.

In compiling this book care has been taken to omit none of those common words whose spelling or exact use occa- sions at times momentary difficuity, even to well educated people. The main aim has been to give as much useful informa- tion as possible in a limited space. With this in view, where noun, adjective and j verb are all obviously connected in mean- ing, usually one only has been inserted. The volume will thus be found to con- tain the meaning of very many more words than it professes to explain.
