Nevertheless fur York auction sales in these col- farming is a real industry, and its progress will continue, and future generations will be carrying on progressively as is the present one. Being a comparatively new busin- ess it has to fight herd for posi- tion-but at that it's doing splendid. There are some things that every Pmlffissive ioxman should know and practice. For intance-Dont hesitate to cull out all undesirable animals. Study for both quality and prollficness. Oullini; rigidly is the only way to euccessfmly accomplish this-and it's the only path to any worth while success in achieving these two factors. Another thought-how many fox- men take into account the cost of running their business-the ranch in which are housed the valuable animals on which the success a‘ failure of their enterprise is found- ed? It takes money to run a ranch. and the man who does not take strict account of his operating ex- 9611868. is r his business in the dark. He should know exactly what it is costing him to produce every pelt he markets. And how about production? Small ranches cost more in ratio to pro- duction time ll-rge ones. If your ranch is smell. the more careful and economical you have w be m “m. ning it in order to succeed. Now that _the prices of pelts are down, the margin of profit will depend llfdbly on increased production. and the quality of your skills when they come into competition p11 thg Opefl market.

SOME THINGS EXPERIENCE WILL TEACH A RANCH‘!!! Years of experience will teach c rancher many valuable lessons. It will teach him that much-very nulch-of the sickness among m; fowl is preventable. and heavy los- ses can be avoided if he will only give them the care and attention they are entitled to. ‘ He can give them fresh, clean food: he can have his pen; clean; he can supply them with fresh wa-t- er as often as is necessa y to main- W» them in sooa ileum. l-ie can see that their condition is improved by brovidlnl some shade for them. What a difference there is in the way some ranches are kept, as flflmliared with others. some are in apple-pie order-while others are Just the opposite. Science has taught the rancher that good foxes cannot be raised in unsanitary rancheg, and then expect success to crown his efforts. y ..___.. WAS ‘A CASE 0F YELLOW .

Most of our soils have gccn deplet- ed of much of their fertility. due to long periods of use and often of abuse. We cannot expect to grow large, beautiful flowers unless we feed the plants.

A seed in the ground is like an egg in the nest-both are waiting for the spark of life that will change their whole existence from fnertness into activity. When that time comes, one is said to hatch, and the other to gemfnate, which in either case means that they start to live and glow. In the case of the seed, there no certain contributing factors to this awakening which we can define, and to a large extent control. They are the amount of moisture present in the soil, the proper temperature. and the prevalence of an ‘equate supply oi oxygen or air. Under these conditions they will lie dormant»- wintertime.

They are known as seed leaves or cotyledons. When the cotyledons open they reveal the embryo with its tiny bud with leaves ready to urlfold. and the start of a root which is oftentimes merely a point. The bud is called plunlille, and the root, hypoootyl. Germination causes one to shoot up wards and the other down. ultimately resulting in the leaves and the roots of the plant.

Gladioli need sunshine fairly rich soil and water in dry spells. 'I‘o grow exhibition flowers. plant food should be given at the rate of 4 pounds to 100 square feet of soil.

GAR-IIENING CANADIAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION 19M (By Gordon Lindsay Smith) ROCK GARDENS Gardening changes. Not so mull! years ago a steep bank at the end of the lawn was regarded ll e. dis- tinct liabilityr Grass and ordinary flowers would not survive sprink dcwnpours. About the only solution was large trees and in "Ont 0f these a screen of schubbery 01' V111" es to hide the raw earth. Now-a.- days, however. such a bank is act- ually wanted by the person who desires to creates rock garden and often when no bank exists one 18 raised by artificial and expensive means. This sort of garden is not to be confused with the old stiff and rather unsightly Ntlwfy- l?“ the kind advocated here. boulders are set into the side of the hil-l. embedded so deep that frost will not seriously disturb them. and sl- so in such a way that the coil be- tween will lead back into the main bank. Between the rocks a minist- ure Rocky Mountain range is creat- ed with gulleys, alpine meltdown. crags and eieep canyons. Seed cat- alogue usually list alpine rock gar- den plants separately. It is most important to secure seeds and plant suitable to Canadian conditions and it is also advisable to get cpccifll literature on the subject, or visit a neighboring rock garden, before at- tempting too elaborate a lay-out.

In the Prairie Provinces or Northern Que- bec and Ontario, there are some new hardy types as well as good crab-apples available. Among sweet cherrier, Windsor, Bing and.

TREE PLANTING With road-side tleel. point: out the Department of Agricultuxo at Ottawa. close planting should be avoided. at least 40 feet being al- lowed between varieties such as the maple, and 50 feet between ellns.
