Spray of Early Harvest Blackberry,

For many years the Early Harvest blackberry has maintained its place as tho leading standard extra early

blackberry all over the United States, and so far no rival has ever been able to displnce it. It is endowed with some qualities that will not bo easy to surpass and which havo fairly won it its position as a really groat market and family berry, says Orange Judd Farmer. In productiveness It is unexcelled. It loads itself with fruit In an astonishing way that must bo seen to be believed. It is no uncommon thing for a picker to gather a

gallon of berries without moving from his tracks. With all that it is n vigorous grower, makes a large, well-shaped bush of Ideal tree form, is adaptable to alinost any soil and climate, and Is always ready to reward the grower with a heavy crop of fruit that Is always the first of Its kind on the market and, therefore, brings h'gh prices. Its size and flavor depend much upon its general treatment. When closely pruned to prevent overbearing and well fertilized, the berries are of good siie, n shiny, attractive black, juicy and well flavored.

An Ideal Present NO STROPPING NO HONING

KNOWN THE

WORLD OVER

(BY J. 12. MU.VDELL.) Many fruit and shade trees are lost annually by bolng girded by rabbits. The season in which most of the damage is dono is during the winter months. With regard to remedies, there are several advocated and these are usually of two forms. Tho trunk of the tree is either painted with some solution or wrapped with some material. Many patent protectors are on tho market, such as ;Ire coils and thin sheets of wood. The wire coll protector slips over tho tree and can be left on the year around and until the tree gets too large for the coll. Then It must be removed. When tho sheets of wood are used they are put on the tree in the fall and are removed in the spring. A strip of tho wood suf

ficiently large to extend around tho tree is used. It tied on with some kind of cord, care being taken to tie

It firmly so It will stay. Thero are I many other methods of protecting trees than the above, two of which are hero doscribod. These are as follows: i Paint the trunks of tho troos with j lime wash mado rather thick, to which has been added about on'taalf

pound of arsenate of lead to ach pailful of wash. Tho lime wath is mado in the usual manner by mixing

lime and water. After adding the arsenate of load the whole mixture should be thoroughly stirred to mix the poison with the wash. This wash is put on with an ordinary paint brush and the trunk of the tree should be covered as high as the rabbits can reach. It should be renewed If there Is any Indication of Injury to the trees by rabbits. One-half pound of parls greon may be substituted for tho arsenate of lend. Tho trunks of the trees are wrapped with paper, the payer boing tied on with corn to hold it in place. Old newspapers rJy be used for the above purpose, tho caro necessary being to see that tho paper entirely covers the

trunk of tho tree high enough to prevent the rab'jlts reaching the exposed portion above tho paper.

Iteccnt advices from Canada, our next door neighbour, tho neighbourly country across the boundary lino, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of

taking up an'' settling upon tho vacant lands, 1C0 acres of which aro given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies aro selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, tho price would be low, as tho lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand settlers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years tho number has been running into these large figures. There must he a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, "they are satisfied." Nothing attracts people more than the success of others, and the news of this reaching other thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this case Is always satisfactory. Tho splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it Is worth every dollar asked for it But there Is not room now for all on these lands. "With the

ever increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing demand for land. Canada is tho only

country on the continent in a position to supply it Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produco $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per aero. The 7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceivable contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of

the previous year. Canadian Government Agencies at different points In the Union are always ready to give Information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would Bült him best

Adopting a Lamb. In cas an ewe loses her lamb she should bo mado to adopt a twin, and this Is often a difficult thing to do. One of tho best methods Is to 6trlp tho skin from the dead Iamb while It Is yet warm and place It over the body of the Iamb that is to bo adopted, tying it on by wrapping a light string about it many times. Then if this little orphan in another's clothing is placed with the mother, nine times out of tea she will adopt it without protest. As soon as the lamb has suckled two or throo times tho skin may be removed and no further difficulty will be experienced.
