do not allow any grow.h 10 appear until au:umn.Should the sod be first plowed, plow as shallow as possible, Roll and harrow, disc harrow and keep down all growth until autumn.The last cultivaiing should be 8 to 10 inches deep.Manuring Should you have any manure on hand in the autumn, apply alight dressing, say 10 to 12 tons per acre.This along with the sod that has been torn up should be equal to about 20 tons of fertilizing material per acre.If no manure is on hand in the autumn I would advise a top-dressing of good short green manure during the winter and plow under in the spring.The spring plowing to be as shallow as possible.In the autumn, whether manure has been applied or not, I would advise plowing and not too wide a furrow.Set the furrow up well ao that the winter frost will have its effect upon the soil.Subsoiling If at all possible, I would advise the use of a subsail plow to be used in the bottcm of the ordinary furrow.When the subsoil plow is used it is not necessary to plow as deep with the ordinary plow, the object is ta get a feeding- ground and a deeper blanket to conserve moisture for the growing plants and also to keep the humus as near the surface as pobsible.Spring Work By narrow plowing in tbe autumn the nianuré and dod täat is turnéd \u2014 CB.Runtons, Avtiot in will \u2018be seen frow.the tdp of tie OT ath be padi digs MARCH 30 1911 tributed.In the spring-time it is advisable to plow about 4 inches deep, turning a wide flat furrow, then harrow thoroughly, and in cases Where the soil is very loose it is best to roll before drilling.Drilling, or on the Flat?The drills are made with a double mould plow, or can be made with a single plow by allowing the nigh horse to walk in the furrow.I pre.fre drilling, as it is much easier to! work, and it is better for theroois t- have the soil slightly worked away inatead of covering them.Tha drills are made 24 inches apart, then pass the heavy land roller over, flattening them down to \u2018about one-third.Your field then , should be in good condition for : BOWing.Varieties of Seed and Quan:ity Mangels\u2014Mammoth Long Red, Sugar White or Rosy; sow 6 to 81b.per acre of good recleaned seed.Carrots\u2014Improved Short White or White Vosges.Red Carrots, Early Gem, Guerand or Ox Heart, Sow 8 to 4lb.per acre.Turnips\u2014Greystone, Purple Top, Swede, or Champion.Sow 8 to 41b.of seed per acre, Less seed in all cases will do if all would grow, but in order to have a perfect catch I would advise the amounts named.It is easier and cheaper to thin out than to transplant.Sow mangels and carrots early in May.Swedes may be sown as late as July 1st.Larger yields are obtained by sowing earlier.Machines for Sowing Hand machines have been found to sow more evenly and use less seed than horse-seeders, especially with mangels or carrots.There is no horse machine made that I know of, gives the same satisfaction as the hand-machine, made with cups inside the drum.The cups fill and deposit at the opening every time, while the smooth drum often blocks, and blanks in the rows are the result.Here is an opportunity for those making the horse-machines to add an im- portan .mprovement.Thinning and Hoeing A goad file should always accompany the hoe.In the case of mangels or sugar mangels, commence thinning when the plants are from one and a half to two inches high, leaving the plants about ten inches apart in the row.Thinning can be done entirely with the hoe.If you have not a regular thinning hoe perfectly square and sharpen both ends and blade, Y u mas.have perlectly square corners to Le able to separa.e the plants quickly.For carrots the hoe should Le 2.1-2 inches wide, with square corners.When thinning carrois, mangels or turnips the operator should welk between the first and second row from the cne he is thinning; no stooping is required and the work can be done much more quickly and better than by work:ng direc:- ly alongside or over the row.In thinning carrots leave the plan's 4 to 6 inches apart, and in the case of turnips about 10 inches apart in the row.Use the same hoe for turnips as for thinning mangels.After thinning, roots usually require one more hoeing, Harvesting When pulling mangels or sugar mangels each operator takes two rows, he divides the tops with both hands while the roots are still in the ground.In pulling the root at the same time give the next root to be pulled a tap; this will knock any soil off and loosen the one you are pulling, By a sudden jerk the top is broken.Some seasons, when \u201cthere is late growth, the taps grow \u2018too heavy; in such cases it will be \u2018necessary to twist the tops off.It is not necessary to use a knife with mangels.In pulling Swedes or turnips .the operator takes two rows; with knife in his right hand he pulls the turnip with his left, apd taps the next roof tobe pulled.Twb outs shotid etn the tursfy, hoe take a common weeding hoe, which can heat (he neck slightly and bend | days.Watch for both heat anc sufficiently, so that the hoe can be frost, as the one is as bad as the made to push or pull, then cu.the | other.+ days before hauling.The time to the roots drop into a root house one for the roots, the other to take the top off.Another method is to use a heavy hoe or mattock both to top and cut off the root.Still another method is to top with the hoe and drag them out of the ground with the ordinary harrow.With carrots it is usually neceseary .to run a subsail plow alongside the rows, loosening them; they are then easily pulled, thrown in rows and topped with the knife.After pulling carrots or mangels they should not be left exposed on the ground over night, as they are easily frozen.Turnips may be left two or threa pull mangels and carrots is about 15th Oc.ober; turnips may be lelt till the last week in October.Drawing to Root Cellar or Pit The ordinary low wagon will be found best, as it is necessary to run them over a slatted chute, s> as to riddle out the earth.No tops should remain on the roots.Where they are liable to heat, unless a ventilator is placed very close to the opening, extending from the bottom of the through the roof.very roolt cellar up There are two important matters in connection with the successful storing of roots.The first is to keep them from freezing ; the second is to keep them sufficiently cool.To keep them from freezing the raot- house should be below the ground; to keep them from heating, put in plenty of ventilating shafts running from the bottom up through the top of the building.The Pit If there is no danger in springtime of water, I would advise making a pit 3 feet deep by 4 feet wide, and as long as required.The earth may Le taken out with the road scraper and dumped alongside to be used for covering.If there is danger of water, the pit should be made on the surface.When the roots are gathered build them up to a point, then cover with straw about 4inches and with earth six inches.This covering is sufficient until the latter part or November, when you must add another six inches of straw and twelve inches of earth In extremely cold districts long horse manure may le added.To ventilate the pit make a box Z4x24 inches insil:, Icaveo.f both sides below the pit and put on slats.This will allow the air to get into the ventilator.The ventilators should be placed every B feet, and may be closed in severe weather with a bunch of siraw, be removed on warn: Answerng questions Mr Fixter said-You will have to hunt u: labor for thinning.Two to f ur inches betwecn plants for turni , 2 to 8 for carrots.Attend io cul tivation before the plants come up.As goon as you see the rows, hind cultivate, The hand-wheel hou does good work, the blade shaves and cuts down weeds, When y.u can use a horse hoe, you have io keep 2 inches from each side cf the roots, which leaves 4 inches cf weeds, Narrow rows save labor.Hand hoe twice, and then us2 the horse hoe until stopped by l:aves breaking off.For thinning, heat the neck of a hue so as to bend 't straight, then grind or file the blade straight, With such a hoe you can push cr pull out the extra plants.You must keep the h-.sharp and to that end take a fle slong with you.Thinning in this way saves bending the back.Leave one row between you and the one you work at so as to avoid stooping, Pull and push with the noe but do not lear down forcibly ca the so\u2019), Mangc:ds need to be left 6 to Binches apart.In cultivating Tusk the Flanet Jun'or.Never throw earth towards the plants; if you cover the roots you stunt them.Keep the soil away from them but leave no weeds.Corn is different from roots, and needs the earth thrown towards it.The Mammoth Long Red Mangold is.the most nutritious: The Sugar Mangold polls easier spd will give yoli 4 too¥ ta the acrt but bay put st much feeding value, In pulling divide the tops with both hands, give a short jerk, and then pull Do not out the tops with a knife.Two rows to each man leaves room to work.It will not do tuo plow out mangolds, but you can use the plow for turnips.To give a crack to the root ahead of the one you , are pulling, loosens it and makes it easier to pull when you take it next, In pitting as 1 advised, have a ventilator 2 feet square, for as many roots are spoiled by heating as freezing.My estimate of per acre of roots is\u2014 cost Rent- \u2026$1 Manure- - eee ee Teams - ve wer on nl \u2026 8 Manual labor - \u2026\u2014 \u2026 \u2026 1,50 $14.0 Archd.Muir, senr.\u2014As you tel us you get 36 tons of roots to th: acre, worth $144, you must bo making money.(Laughter.) PROTECTION OF CROMNED HEADS The Care and Cares of Monarchs\u2014 Great Watchfulness of the Royal Guards Most spirited monarchs rcbel more or less against being taken care of, although their rebelling is the cause of much anxiety and worry to thoee upon whom resis the responsibility of their safety.A truly difficult task is reported to bo that of the plain-clothes officers who are told off to \u201cshadow\u201d King Alfonso of Spain when ne visits this country, for the adventurous young monarch takes so keen an interest in everything that takes his fancy that he often runs what are under the circumstances very serious risks.On one occasion, when there were decided possibilities of a determined attempt upon the young King's life, he terrified the detectives by strolling into a penny shooting gallery on the Edgware Road and making quite a lengthy stay there, his personality being very easily recognizable by the rather peculiar features with which the public are familiar through the Illustrated papers.Few people realize the amount of work which the visits of foreign rulers mean to the New Scotland Yard authorities, nor the risks which have to be run by detectives, in frequenting the haunts of well-known revolutionists to discover if any plans of violence are afoot.Most of the leaders in such movements are well known to the police of all countries, and any unusual activity in the way of communi: cations between or visits from such known characters, is notified immediately to the country apparently the object of concentration.No known Anarchist or Nihilist is ever free from the vigilance of the police, or leaves one shore for another without a not!- fication being flashed across to hls destination by the sleepless watchers whose care, all unknown to the cheering crowds, has many a time prevent:d a national gala-day from becoming a scene of bloodshed, panic, and car nage.Few sovereigns and their families are less to be envied by the ordinary irresponsible person than the Czar of all the Russias, his frail wife, and little children.The watchfulness of his guards is never for a moment relaxed.Even in his country residence of Tsar- skoe Selo armed soldiers are always within earshot, and the royal children are not left unescorted at their childish games.The effect of this constant anxiety and suspense is reported to have a terrible depressing Influence upon the beautiful Czarina's heaith, and there fs a certain rather unchild- llke gravity on the faces of the boy Czarevitch and the little Grand Duchesses which 18 intensely pathetic.Barr Colonists Making Good.The Barr colonists, who went out to Lloydminster, Sask., from England And took up land in 1903, have made good\u2014at least a considerable number of them have.It was a hard struggling experience for the first few years, ut they are now getting on their feet.One can get no idea of their farms fron the railroad, for they are farther back, but the crops are good this year, the wheat averaging over 25 bushels; the oats about 55 or 60 and harley 33 to 40 bushels.Last year they had a bumper crop, and, indeed, there hans not been a failure from drought since they settled there.There are at least fifteen steam or gasoline plows within a radius of twelve miles at work now breaking up new land, so that next year tlie acreage under crop will be largely increased.Economical.A good story is related of an English theatrical manager who by thrift and hard work had amassed a fortune.Previous to the production of one play the stage carpenters had to repair a trap, and the head carpenter went to the manager and informed him that it could not be done in the dark.\u201cWell, lad, thee won't have t' gas,\u201d answered the manager.\u201cHere, tak\u2019 \u2018this and buy a candle.\u201d And he handed him a balfpenny.The carpenter pleaded that they wanted two in order to get sufficient light.\u201cHow long will t' job tak\u2019 thee?\u201d asked tbe wanpger.\u201cAbout ten minutes,\u201d wns the reply.\u201cThen gut t* candle Jo 10.\u201d was the answer, \u201cThee won't bave uuy wore money.\" .HUNTINGDON QUE.William Ewing & Co.SEED MERCHANTS (Established 41 years) 142 MeGill-Street, Montreal Our ILLUSTRATED SEED CATALOGUE is now ready and will be mailed free on receipt of your od- dress.TIMOTHY \u2014-SUN, MOON, TROUT varieties, The brands we recommend are the best qualities obtainable, and are as follows\u2014 i TIMOTHY, SUN, MOON, TROUT and SALMON brands.CLOVER \u2014 Mammoth Late Red, Eagle and Snipe.CLOVER\u2014Early or Western Red, Canary and Linnet Brands.CLOVER\u2014Alsike, Ewing's Bes, Ostrich and Magpie, If your dealer has not theee qualities in stock, do not be satis= fied with anything \u201cjust as good\u201d but have them procure from us for you, or write us direct, and remember, that in cach ease, the first named brand is what you should buy, and is actually the cheapest!

30, 1911 NOTES OF THE WEEK The Rev.Wm.Timberlake is 2 Methodist clergyman of high-stand- ing and chairman of the Montreal district.July, 1908, a couple came to his house and requested he should marry them.The man, Eugene Hebert, produced a license, and answering they knew of n> obstacle Mr Timberlake received their vows, that they tock each other for better or worse until death should part them, and pronounced them married, giving them the usual certificate to that effect and cording the marriage in his register.The pair lived as man and wife until the second child was born, when the husband professed to have qualms of conscience.He was a Catholic, and to be married by a Protestant minister was against the rule of his church.He applied to Archbishop Bruchesi to have the union declared null, and the case was heard by his assessors, who gave judgment that, under canon law, there had been n/) marriage.With the decree declaring this, the man next went before a judge to have bim give it civil effect.The judge, Laurendeau, ratified the judgment of the ecclesiastical court and de:lared Hebert to be as if he had never promised his troth to Emma Marie Clouard, whom he thus discarded.We are not going to comment upon these facts\u2014the Gleaner has done re- so before on similar occurrences\u2014 but wish to m-=k> an observation that is timely at the present juncture, There is just now an intense fever of patriotism, men declaring British connection to be in danger and that they ready to die rather than that an agreement to allow our farmers to sell to Americans should be ratified.We take these men at their word, that they are filled with a consuming devotion to maintain British standards and continue Canada as an integral part of the Empire.That is good, and here is an opportunity for them to prove their words \u2018by acts, In the second province of the Dominion British law has been flouted and cfficially declared tn be subordinate to Papal law, We know nothing whatever about Mrs Hebert beyond that she is a British subject, and, good or bad, is cn- titled to all the rights and protection which that status gives her.Will not Mr Borden, Mr Foster, or Mr Sifton, who have been filling the land with the noise of their protestations of devoticn to Bri:- ish rights and British principles, not now come forward and vindicate the supremacy of British law?A charge was laid in the house of commons that the member for Richelieu had got workmen from the government shops at Sorel to paint a fine residence he had bui:t and who had used material from the same shops.The value of work and material seems to have been \u2018between $700 and $1000.It came out in evidence, that a friend cf the premier had got word of the intention to bring the scandal te- fore parliament, and he wrote Sir Wilfrid that, if helped, he could nip the plan.Sir Wilfrid Laurier replied on January 18\u2014 Dear Sir,\u2014In reply to yur letter of the 16th inst., I have the honor to inform you that if there have been any misdeeds at Sorel it is not the mtenti:m of the government to prevent it being known to the public; quite the contrary.If you or anyone else have informatitm to furnish \u2018on what has taken place every latitude will be given you ts place the facts before the public as ycu may think proper.Affairs in Mexico grow more complicated.President Diaz has reconstructed his cabinet and promised reforths Jong asked for.Apperent- ly he has been too long in moving.Tbe insurgents dre encouraged to are ing in strength is undoubted, It is not cnly of oppressive laws the people complain, but of graft among those in office and vf car- ruption in the administration of justice.Tt is alleged the country has been managed in the interes:s of the influential and wealthy, that trade and manufactures are con- and that the country's assets, its lands and trolled by monopolies minerals, have been ceded to those who are in the government rng.In Canada we think it bad enough to see the finest of the Northwest in companies, but in Mexico there are sections the possession of many individuals who have Leen acres thru ccurt the they cannot given a million favor.land they cultivate, Poor men may rent own it.The Washington government is naturally concerned about Should tion assume a destructive form, and the outcome.the revolu- it becomes manifest there is n> central authority to maintain order, th: United States will be compelled ts intervene, for the interests -f her citizens in Mexico are af too gigantic a nature to be left at the Indeed, insurrectizn risk of sword and torch.the menacing the life and property of foreign the will be compelled to restore order, for, if they do not, Germany will, and her intervention would bea calamity.The U.S, forces are 80 placed on the frontier that they could rapidly advance on Mexico City.On Saturday fire broke out in a factory in New York city, snd the in the event of subjects, Americans difficulty of escaping from it was such that 141 employees, chiefly voung women, perished.All this apparently caused by some feliow who insisted, against the rules,on having a smoke.The session at Quebec bas ended after passing many private bills, and authorizing so large an expenditure that, we fear, Mr Mackenzie will have no surplus to announce again.The technical schools are based on a large scale and there is an expensive addition to the public buildings for a new library that could be done without.The cost of the new jail for Montreal has gone far beyond the estimates and is not nearly finished.Friends of the government ia to make reply to the utterances at Montreal, feeling it necessary the great anti-reciprocity demonstration, held a counter-meeting Saturday evening.The speakers were Fielding, Fisher, and Smith, a British Columbia MP.Had the hall been twice the size, \u201c* could not have held all who gathered at the doors.Mr Fielding spent more time than the occasion called for on personal charges, that he had advocated annexatizn at one period of his life and was ww plotting annexation, giving m.re attention to his libellers than they deserve?.His reply to the charge, that the Laurier administration had na mandate to negotiate reciprocity, was quotations {from statememis of Sir John Macdonald and other Conservatives, which showed that, for over forty years, renewal of reciprocity was desired and that the present government took placa under a pledge, should an ppor- tunity arise, to negotiate such a treaty.We do n:t like Mr Fielding's tone towards the manufacturers.They might, he sacd, trust the government t3 preserve their interests, and as procf they would do so, pointed to how the reciprocity agreement had been framed so as not to trench on Lh:ir privilege-.Mr Fielding made it evident he desired to conciliate the manufaciui- ers and disarm their hostility.This will not do.The government can not please both the farmers and the monopolists.It has go: to make its choice between them.The farmers will not put up witha government that bi>ws hot and cold.There is a concerted effort to \u2018boom the Porcupine district, which the daily papers are promoting.They are wise who pass by the alluring advertisements offering mining stock for sale.Many in this district had cause to regret their investments in British Columbia.GO On, evcepting the changes as iE Dot ol tear, That discontent is 77 depiNed sid th Feilicy guld- rl tog A smaller number were bit by the THE CANADIAN GLEANER, HUNTINGDON, G.The reader will recall how, last summer, a great ado was made in Montreal over an alleged plot to bring disgrace upon the eucharistic congress, It was stated certain zealous supporters of clerical pretensions had bored a hole thruthe floor of a French Canadian Mascn'e lodge-room, known as Emancipation lzdge, and, listening from below, had overheard the arranging of a plct to entangle priests attending the congress, The city council believed the yarn and vr- dered an inquiry, which went on until stopped by a legal tion.An incident connected with the affair occupied the court king's bench, Montrea!, days.The secretary of the Masonic On his way home from a meeting held on \u2018njunc- of several lodge was Ludger Larcse, the night of April 8th cf last year, he was suddenly surrounded by four men,cne of whom presented a revolver at his head while the clher three went thru his pockets and tock all that was in them, \u2018nelud ng of \u2018he his suspicions the minute-bock and roll lodge.Larcse had of the motive of his assailants, but A, J.Lemieux produced the stolen docu- had no confirmation until ments in the inquiry held by the citycouncil.On information laid \u2018by Larose, a warrant was issued for the arrest »f Lemieux on the The case came before Judge Lavergne charge of highway ncbbery.last week, when Lemieux admitted he had done as alleged, but had acted under the highest motives, in protection of the against a conspiracy Free Masons, priesthcod hatched by His three assistants in the assault and robbery were called as witnesses and all admitted what they had done and exulted in their deed.The lawyer for the accused scouted the charge \u2018as a criminal one, because the four young men \u201chad acted in the best of faith and with the intention to do a noble deed for the cause of religion.\u201d Lemieux he extolled as a hero, who was being \u2018persecuted for exposing an immoral set of men, exclaiming \u201chis conscience had made him act as he had, in the -| best interests of society in holding up his victim\u201d to cbtain evidence to preserve the reputation of the prieethood.The judge's charge was most fair.He told the jurymen they were not trying Free Masonry cr Emancipation lodge, but simply whether Larose was held up on the street and robbed.Of that there was no doubt, for the prisoner admitted the charge, It was, therefore, their duty > return a verdict of guilty and leave a the court the ccnsideration of palliating circumstances before prcnounc- ing sentence.He adjured them to sustain the law.Th= charge of the Judge went for n:thing, for the jury returned a verdict of rit guilty.Their verdict was received by the crowd who filled the court room with cheers.The Star says they \u201cstood up in their seats and velled and shock hands with each other in their delght at the cut- come,\u201d and pandemonium reigned until the officials restored order.Lemieux is the hero 7 the hour, the pet of the eglerical circle, and the most popular man of the day.When religious prejud.ces come into play the plainest procf and he clearest reading of the goes for nothing.Charles D.Sheldon, the fellow who swindled 85 many hundreds of people, has \u2018been arrested in Pitts- \u2018burg, Pa., where he passed as C.W, Ross, and was found living expensively and gambl:ng free:y on the stock-market.On his being \u2018brought ts Montreal he will be prosecuted for theft and obtaining money under false pretences.A speedy trial and a heavy sentence will have a wholesome effect upon the swindlers who are advertising 80 largely to induce people to put their savings in shares ®and bonds of kite concerns.That any portion of Sheldon\u2019s plunder can be recovered for distribution amcng his victims is not credited.More public business has been
