ISLAND From timdto‘ time we heu- praises of the homes of the country people in Prince bowel-a Island, meaning generally the farm houses, and it must be admitted by alltliat tiiése do emails.‘ viewed “from the road," a fairly rupoctable appearance. But let us take a glance Into these houses, and fin-it by the kitchen. It is usually kept clean and tidy and the cooking done therein is "second ‘to none." But it. is nearlyalways too small for its actual purpose for it is really the living room of the farmer and his family. True there is nearly walways a so-called dining-room but thlsis in many cases used only when company comes. Then there is the parlor used only when company comm from Boston or when a mem- ber of the family ls lying in his or her coffin. These rooms arekept spotlcssly clean and what ‘is worse the parlor Is all dolled up to such a pitch that no microbe nor any other living creature would care to dwell long therein, especially that species knowrfas mere man or boy. I have had considerable opportun- ity of viewing the parlors, stairways and bedrooms of these houses and know quite well what they are like: Bright delicate paper or tints on wallsbrlght soft carpet or glossy vamish on floors here and. there transcendent colors-one would think that ethereal creatures quite unused to the honest dust of the earth dwelt here. But l0.’ 0n reflection one‘ re- members that sons of the soil. nat- ure's own gentlemen. live herein. that is in the kitchen for when they become weary of being in the wom- en's way they betake themselves to the woodshed or horsestable to while away a. few pleasant minutes whit. tling or chewing, provided the time be a rainy day in summer. Let us now visit one of these homes in winter. In the day time you will find it comfortable enough close by the fire if you can manage to keep out of the rway of the women of whom it may justly be said none are kinder or "more hospitable_ But at bedtime count yourself lucky if you do not have to go away from warmth and brightnws, through cold winding halls and by richly-carpeted stair- ways to outer darkness in the north- east. comer of the earth as it were, there to dream of snowy blasts and polar expeditions-shades of Scott and Franklin! Here you find that hallways and partitions are your enemies that come between you and warmth and comfort. In fact the average house on P. E Island may be’ described as a. large enclosure subdivided into cramped compartments so skillfully that it would seem as though the genius o! awkwardness and discomfort design- ed them. What is the remedy’! Simple enough: Take an axe and smash down these “middle walls of parti- tion" In the lower part cf your house. Divide it into two or three real liv- ing-rooms. Let them have roominess, convenience and freedom, and beauty too, but let It be that beauty which beautifully does. Let these rooms provide for the beautiful views which one may se¢ everywhere on P. E. Island if they were not so skillfully shut off by designers of houses. If more ornamentation is desired let the funnier; pay more attention to their gardens and ‘edges, though here again they need nm shut off the view of their houses by trees awkwardly placed in front of the house. In short let the country people go in for cultivating a beauty that is at once approachable and useful instead of prohibitive and useless as ls now so often seen ln the interior of so many of the hospitable homes. Then and only then will the homes and the landscape of Prince Edward Island become what they ought to be, the most beautiful in Canada or even in North America. Yours sincerely IIUSTICIJS ‘IIIIIELY- ROSE WORK Roses require fairly deep cultiv- ntlon and heavy fertilizing up until the first of July in order to push growth and produce flowers. After this, however, It is advisable to slow downoothat the plants may ge hard- ened before the cold weather acts in. To old in this process, which takes two or three months, it is a good plan to plant a. few low-growing plants, such‘ no pandas. cllendulns, violu, or dwarf nuturtluma, around ,the roles, which will brighten up the .bed and benefit the bushes by ab- sorbing moiature. At this time a good quick-acting fertilizer is advic- ed. After July, a slower fertilizer, such as liquid manure, or bone meal should be used.

The last, which is just from the press. ls Pamphlet No. 134, New Series, and is a production of our esteemed fellow-citizen Prof. B. B. Hurst, B. S. A.,_in collaboration with Prof. D. J. MacLeod. M. .4... of Fred- ericton, N. B. There are still, I note, people who refuse m believe lnplant pathology, object to the‘ 1min names of the parasitic diseases, and even to the attempts to control the maladies. The scientific names and descriptions of the diseases are absolutely neces- sary for the collaboration of work- ers in widely separated lands; and very little thought will enable us to see that-it is the controls worked out by these specialists that prevent "epidemics" among the potatoes like those in the years 1840-5. In the present instance-that of Scab-seed treatment in its several forms is considered. If the scab or- gnnism is not already preunt in the gmulia, treatment of the tubers will give a clean crop. A amnion treat. ment is by means of corrosive sub- llmate, or as the chemist calls them mercuric chloride “tablel.s"—whlch by the way, are very poisonous. On account of th¢ deterioration of the solution while in use, It is to be forti- fied or strengthened by the further addition of the subllmate for each batch of potatoes, and the means and proportion are succinctly pointed out in the little brochure. For those who prefer the formalin treatment (which is non-poisonous) a. note of warning is sounded: an impurity, which 1s known as paraforrnaldehyde, some- tlmu occurs in the formalin, and is capable of producing much injury to the tuber immersed in it. The bul- letin shows how this injurious im- purity may be ’etected. some readers may not have heard. oi’ the hot. for- malin treatment, but. we are fold that it is gaining popularity on ac- count of its inexpenslveness, sim- plicity of operation and rapidity with which effective treatment can be ac- complished. Tile last pages of the booklet are devoted to a. ‘dera- tion of the organic mercurial treat. merits, which are not so poisonous as those with the mercuric chloride. All the treatments are given with a fulness of detail that will save the potato-grower from mistakes and enable him to disinfect his seed-stock most effectively. It only remains to add that the bulletin is well illustrat- ed. and should be in the hands of every farmer. STORAGE OF EGGS It is of course no news to my read- ers that Biddy, the hen, is falling from her place of pride-with eggs nearing the prices of grandfather's days. The news is, however, that the Saskatchewan farmers are out to get whatever there is in the "hen fruit," and are storing them by the time when prices rise. This is a course that the Dominion Live Stock Branch, by circular, is urging on all housewives also, as a. means of tak- ing advantage of the present low prices and high quality of this pro- duct. Dr. Frank T. shutt, Dominion Chemist, recommends the use of lime-water as a preservative, since he finds that it keeps the quality of the egg better than any other agent docs. Lime-water is made by putting freshly slalfed burnt lime into water at the rate of one pound of lime to five gallons of water. "This will make a “ "‘ saturated lune-water so- lution sufficient to fill a. receptacle capable of holding between 20 and 30 dozen eggs.” The receptacle may be a. large crock or a small water- tight barrel, and the eggs are to be FERTILIZERS That Fertilizer required Io finish your planting can be obtained by team or by truck at our factory In Charlotte- town or we will lend II to you by rall or by boll u you re- quire.

Wherever possible use "Extras" for storage. These should not weigh less than 24 ounces to the doz. and when "candied" or held up against a. strong light, should show an air-cell of not over one-quarter of an inch. What is worth doing is worth doing well. A farmer near Salisbury (Eng) writes me that he sells his eggs at tenpence a dozen, and they are re- tailed at one shilling per dozen. Young pigs he says are worth 30 shillings each. CUTWOItMS AGAIN It is possibly going to be a. bad year for cutworms: at any rate they have made an early start, and seem to be plentiful in the garden. The hot dry’ summer of last year and the ab- sence of frost in the ground during the winter must have been most favorable to their multiplication and preservation. Poison bait as recom- mended in the bulletins is the best method of controlling these pests, where it can be safely applied; and a little thicker sowing of garden seeds etc. will go far to neutralize the losses. Individual plants, such as t0- mames, dahlias and the like, can be readily protected by means of the tin protectors recently mentioned in these "Notes." \. TRIIVIIHING THE SPRUCE HEDGE Today (May 27th) I trimmed my little spruce hedge. It was in an ideal condition for the job: the buds had burst and had thrown out little sprays of green nearly an inch long, _and usually in pairs. The branch may be snipped off anywhere, but thousand, on the farms, against the . not behind the last pair of buds. THE WILSONS SNIPE On n. still evening in May (and sometimes in the early morning) one may hear a. long-drawn “Who-hoo- homhoo-hoo-hool" which appears to have its origin at a. great distance above the earth. This is the sound made by the Wllsons’ Snipe (Gallbl- ago delicate), which is said to pro- duce it by "drumming" with its wings. The notes have a rising in- flection, and may be imitated musi- cally by rapidly running, say, from G t0 E above. employing all the semitones, and whistling the syllable "Who" In each. It is not often that one sees the bird itself as the sound carries a long way at that altitude, and the snipe may be at a considerable dis- tance irom its auditor. I once had the opportunity, as a note in my ‘Bird Guide" records, of examining a specimen which had been taken in a musk-rat trap on Dec. 5th, 1918. Its mostlprominent feature was the very long bill: this is used to bore into soft ground, where the flexible tip enables it to grasp the worms, in- sects, and larvae upon which it feeds. Its head was striped black and whit- ish and the upper parts and wings streaked with black, brown and white. This is sometimes referred to as the English" Snipe, but as I have no literature on the birds of the Old Country I am unable to say whether this ls correct: in all likelihood if. is a. near variety. It is a summer resi- dent here, and is valued as a game bird. It winters in the southern US, according to Reed. BIRDS 0F P. E. ISLAND (First instalment.)

I did not have any visions of a first prize when I started my letter. After tell- ing you what I had learned aboutl winter birds-I continued with the summer birds that I might tell you about this large bird that Mr. Osgood had seen. One of our neighbors has 818g seen this ‘bird, and gives the same description of it, only that he got quite near and CDUld see that it has a, very long hooked beak, and he feels quite confident that it is an “Eagle.” Heron are as common In Cavendish as “pretty sunsets."

The Department of Agriculture llllf‘. ifecelved many favorable report»; These have been included izi the June l report. "Winter wheat prospects have been improved,“ this report states, "but the condition of hay and pastures is poor in many sections." Southern crops have been dc- layed by the cold weather. ancl the majority of the early-planted truck has been coming to market later than usual. Fruit prospects are 381i- erally reported fair to good. Farmers are likely to cut down vll old and 119v] potato planting because almost to a complete stop, and this at a time when the poultry flock is not moulting. At such times George Robertson, Assistant Dominion Poul- try Husbandman, states it is well to suspect the presence of vermin. The two types of vermin which seriously affect laying hens are body many YEZIS. of the low prices on these products. The index of the general low-l of farm prices now ls the loll-est siiiu- i910.

While and most satisfactory remedy is the use of Black Leaf 40 (nicotine sul- phate), which may bc produced from almost any poultry supplies or seeds merchant. Tile particular advantage in using this remedy lies in the fact that it Isl/Ely effective and does not necessitate the treating of the birds of the flock individually. In the evening immediately be. fore the flock goes to roost paint the bottom and lower sides of the roosts with Black Leaf 40. In the morning it will be found that the lice will have been killed by the fumes and will have fallen onto the dropping boards. Of all the many varieties of ver- min that infest fowl red mites are the most troublesome. About the uni yway to control this pest is by thoroughly cleaning up and disin. fectiiig the premises in which the hens are housed. Information as to remedies and disinfectants is now available in Circular 80 of the De- partment of Agriculture, which has just been received from the King's Printer for free distribution.
