(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 poor quality, with i:owers imper- fect cr perfect, resistant to disease or an @asy. prey ‘to it, sttong plant producer or, the reve adapted to. light or lo heavy soils, 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. est number of qualities required in the special circumstances, More- over, it shquld be remembered that none have all) or nearly all the gocd points, Consdering yield.

Agricultural authorities are fre: quently asked whether or not it) Pays to use a roller, and, if it does, 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 lacking in moisture at seeding time, If the land is fairly “wet when the crop is sown and becomes quite dry wfterwards, all the heavier class of soils is inclined to ‘bake and form more or less hard crust.

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 got to, when J saw. young officer of the 8th, Battalion followed — by hig mon, coming towards mo, e g 8 n e red hoart the wood was ya heavily heid by machine guns, He said he knew it and was going to attack from the side, so 1 went with them, and, as they lay-on the ground and got their Lewis guns in position, I pronounced the bene- diction over them and them. con- tinued my journey up the railroad. ‘On the west side of the trac at he bank 8. he top o PADRE IN THE GREAT WAR Being the Reminiscences Recollections of the Veteran ; Chaplain, Canon F.

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.
