A VAST DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN VARIETIES
OF STRAWBERRIES.

(Expermental Farms Note.)

A cosmopolitan ifruit, Citrus
fruits can only be grown towards
the tropics, peaches require special
regions and sheltered valleys, appie
trees are seldom seen below the
Dixie line, but the luscious straw-
berry does well from Hudson Lay
to Southern Florida, from Cape
Breton to Vancouver Island. ‘It is
truly a cosmopolitan fruit and one
which may be enjoyed by the farmr
er, even by the cottager with a

moderate size back yard, as well

as by the millionaire.

Varieties are legion.—There are
varieties of strawberries to suit
parctically every taste, ever
region, even every soil. The fruit
may be had quite acid = to very’
sweet, light rose to deep red,
small to extremely lange, coft and
excellent in flavor to firm and of

What is. the best variety.—There
is no best variety of strawberry, as
one which may be adapted to the
needs or the fancy of a grower
might mot suit his neighbors The
main thing is: for one to choose a!
variety which will have (he great.

of Dr. Williame’ Pink Pills in

THE USE OF THE ROLLER.

Agricultural authorities are fre:

what is the best time.

: Apart ‘from other considerations,
it is desirable to roll: fields sown
to- grain and seeded down simply

sequent miowing and like’ opera -
tions. ‘Some farmers do this roll-
ing at the time of seeding, others
delay it until the plants are up two
or three inches. The question is
which is the better practice.

If the soil is dry at the time of
seeding rolling will bring the mois-
ture up to the seed and often pro-
mote rapid germination. In Nova

If the land is fairly “wet when the

Haute in 1909, He was then a four
year old, and is still going. The
first glimpse of him made me think
that I should ‘buy him. I moved
on and never made a bid.

“From Terre Haute we shipped
to Detroit and laid up a week. One
‘morning when Will Berry, of Con-
cord, John ‘Farnum and ‘Sanford
Small ‘were busy telling ‘me what
they kheiw about race norses, I saw
thé gray horse whisk around the
turn. I cut in on Berry long en-
ough to tell Farnwm to go and buy
the colt. In about an hour he came
iback and said: ‘You own him, price
$2,400.’ ‘Farnum then declared him-
self in while Berry and Smal fol-
lowed ‘suit, Each of us had $600
on the colt. ; ‘

“That week Warl: Jr. finished
third to Tony Swift. The follow-
‘ing week at Kalamazoo, the part-
nership ‘was almost basted, ‘Karl
Jr, was entered in a race in which
I also had ‘Hoosier Prince. George
Gano was banred in the betting and
my partners wanted to each’ play
about $700 on the new colt, I told
them that I could not drive the
horse as I had been training ‘Hoos-
ier, Prince all season, and his own-
er expected me to race him, jMn-
ally, the three iof ‘them found that
under the conditions they could
start two horses from _ the same
stable. They put up Geers and
went to it. I.backed 'Hoosier Prince
to come second. He won. Larl Jr.
was distanced,

“There were a few sore partners
that night, but Harl J. got back all
they lost and more tioo. At Read-
ville he won in 2.10%, but whenhe
‘required five heats to beat Hallie
Direct at Hartford in 2.11%, I sent
him to Dover.

“That winter ‘Murphy came up

‘prevement, and what may be ac-

: \Not very long ago I- had tie
| pleasure of looking over the herd
sof one cf our successful dairy
‘men, This man is farming and
| dairying on strictly business

principles; and is making it pay
even during the past ‘winter. The
herd has been built up from the
ordinary Gow to one of the best
lot of advanced grades one weuld
like to look at.

(Starting some fifteen years aga
keeping records this herd has
grown from an aveage of 6,000
pounds pa .cow untii last year the
@averafe was well over 1160
pounds,

This is real dairying; the
of dairying that has mat the
Danish and Dutch farmer famons
even. on the poor sandy soil and
limited pastures of these count-
ries.

‘Now that the above mentioned
daityman has his herd ayera
1100 pounds is he going to
there? Not at all, as he tc.¢
he expects ere long, to have a
herd that will average 15,000
pounds yearly and why should he
not aim high? Judging from what
he hag accomplished in tne. past
and using ,his experience there ig
no doubt ‘but he can do as he
predicts; by sellection, breeding,
and care, he has a elear
road ahead.

(The average herd on P. EB. J.

thing wrong, it is inefficient

‘will it mean to our province. It

would mean that our revenne from

“CARE FOR THE DYING”

I saw the battalion go off in the
direction of Rosieres and I renew-
ed my journey to our own lines |
passed the 24th, Battalion who were
going up on the left of the 22nd,
and they told me that the 2nd, Bri-
gade were on their right. There
were many trenches along the way
which the Germans had abandoned
on the previous day. I passed a
poor horse which was badly wouna-
ed and still alive. It was attached
to a broken German cart. I got one
of our men to shoot the animal,
and went on till 1 came to a rail-
way in the hollow and followed it.
There were many wooden buildings
here and there which had been
built by the Germans, These struc-
tures had been badly knocked
about by shrapnel, and the litter
of articles within showed how
rapid the German flight had been.
At a little distance on the East
side of the track there was a green
wood, which iwas called as I after-
wards found out, Beaufort or Hat-
chet Wood. Every now and then as
I walked, little puffs of dust would
rise from the road in front of me,
showing that machine gun bullets
were falling about. A cavalry patro)
of three men returning down the
track from the direction of the
wood came up to me, and, taking
me far a combatant officer, the
corporal saluted and said, “That
wood is very heavily held by mach-
ine guns, Sir, we have just made
a reconnaissance.” “That's all
right,’ I said, “I do not intend to
take it just yet.” I was going up
the track, wondering where 1 had

and we started off to the village to-
gethor, The place was now in our
hands, as the Germans had evacu-
ated it some hours before. The
houses were quite intact and offer-
ed prospects of pleasant billets, My
companions and I, finding it was
quite late in the afternoon, de-
termined to go and have our.meal
in a garden near the Chateau. We
sat down on the grass and opened
our bully beef tins, and seeing on-
ions growing in the garden thought
it would be a good thing to have
that savoury vegetable as a relisn.
It added to the enjoyment — of our
simple meal to think. that we were

eating something which the Ger-
mans had intended for» them
selves, We managed to get some
fresh water too from a well noar
by, which looked quite clean, On
the other side of a wall we — could
seo the roof of the Chateau. One

of the men thought he would like
to go and explore and find out whu
was there, He came back a few
minutes afterwards and said it was
full of Germans. So, taking their
rifles, the two men went off to at-
tack it, thinking they had found a
stronghold of the enemy. 1 was

that the Germans who they had

the chateau had been taken over

made ‘our way to it and found that

it was a very ‘beautiful place — sit-
uated in lovely grounds. A card
on a door upstairs bore the — in-

scription—*His Excellency General
and there followed a German name.
The place had been the headquart-

ers of some enemy corps or divis-
ion on the previous day. At the
back of the Chateau was a very

strong concrete dug out divided off
into rooms, which were soon filled
by our officers.and men. All _ that
