Oneâ€"balf I would sow in clover, to enrich the soil, the other halif I would put in garden and fruit, so as to change the garden every three years and follow with clover. Then your garden would soon be free from weeds and become very productive with but little labor and expense. The greater portion of it, both fruit ard garden, could then be workedi with the horse and cultivator. after the first time with band cultiâ€" vator. 1 would use the best impleâ€" ments manufactured. They are the cheapest ; it costs nothing to board them ; only a crossâ€"cut file to keep them 1 am seventyâ€"six years old. The first thirtyâ€"six years of this time was spent on the farm. The next twenty at mixâ€" ed farming and gardening on an exâ€" tended scale. The last twenty in the city and country, and close observation at home and abroad leaves no doubt whatever in my mind as to it being a paying investment, and J unhesitâ€" atingly say it does. THE VEGETABLE GARDEN AND ’ HOME ORCHARD. Does it pay for a farmer to take the time to make a vegetable garden and a home orchard, and care for the same in a proper manner? asks A. W. Livâ€" ingston. It certainly does, in various ways if properly managed, and as ! have had considerable experience in this line. I will make a few suggestions on the subject. The produce from the farm is fed to animals, not so much to provide for the stock to derive the largest sum possible from the materials used. When lthe barns and granarias are full the question is how to dispose of the proâ€" ducts to the best advantage. If the food is fed to cows, and the milk shipâ€" ped to market the farmer selils his grain, hay and fodder in the form of milk,. If he can derive the most milk at the least cost his profits are accordâ€" ing to the amount of raw material required to produce the milk. It is not the quantity of food, however, that gives the best results, but the quality. Skill is necessary in feeding, as the age of an animal and the special work it is to perform must be considered. It is also important to economize in food by preventing its loss after it has been consumed ; that is, the animal must be protected from cold or a largâ€" er proportion of the food will be utilâ€" ized in creating animal hbeat, and the food can te prepared in a manner to assist in its being better digested and assimilated. Coarsa foods must be balâ€" anced by adding those that are more concentrated, and the disposition and peculiarities of each aimimal must hbe known. There are " feeding tables" which may serve as guides to a certain extent but the ju@gment of the farmâ€" er, who understands the existing conâ€" ditions under which the animals are fed is the most important factor in feeding for profit. PERSISTENT MILKERS. We sometimes see cattle owners or |buyers pass through a herd of cows and remark that such and such cows are persistent milkers, while certain others are not. A keen observer may be able to tell with some degree of certainty which cows have this tendâ€" ency and which have not, but my exâ€" ;perience tells me more depends on the icate and feeding than on any signs or markings. For nearly thirty years our main dependence has been on rais ing our own stock, and yet occasionally I have bought in a few, and comparing these, in general outline and marking* with cows of our own raising, lea is me to believe the above statement to be substantially currect says a corresâ€" ponljent. 1 have a cow in my stables now that I consider a proof of my theâ€" ‘ory that more depends on care and }feml than anything else. I bought her three years ago, being given my uhoice‘ in a herd of some thirty cows. Out of the herd I bought four cows at $25 apiece. The cow of which mention is‘ here made, had a fairly good dairy form, not perfect, bhowever, and I judgâ€" ‘e-l her to be a persistent milker. Eviâ€" dently the cows had not suffered from overfeeding, being on a rented farm, an‘i all were dry longer than a cow should be for profit. The next fall they received better care and feeding, and two of them responded in much longer milk flow. This one cow the past season has entirely outdone her former records, and when but two months from time t obe fresh again was giving ahout fifteen poun‘s of milk. I consider this cow has given fully oneâ€"third more milk, during the ten months in which she was milked, than any previous year, and it is all given to care and feeding. Perhaps 1 should explain what I mean by care and feeding. When I went to the farm where these cows were kept everything indicated & scrimping of feed, and, like too many herds, they were perâ€" mitted to roam during the fall months, even up to December ; consequently at the first of December, when I bought them they were thin, with rough coats. barnyard after November 1, and fed grain continually until dry. _ This particular cow is now dry and is given about two and oneâ€"kalf pounds daily of wheat chips, and is in fine order. It is folly to talk about persistent milkâ€" ers and allow cows to suffer during the fall months from hunger and cold. Anâ€" other important matter follows genâ€" erous treatment. The unborn calf will partake of this second nature, so to speak, of the mother. In other words, if the cow is well fed and cared for, so ber term of usefulness is materially lengthened, her offspring will inherit these good qualities and _ themselves make cows when matured. Under our treatment they were stabâ€" le| as soon as cold, frosty nights came on, and were not allowed outside the PRACTICAL FARMING.

The highest grade of stock still sells for the highest price on the market. So let us look to a better grade of stock. as many as eight times, and in every case the greater number of times the plants were cultivated the larger the yields compared with plots on which fewer cultivations were given. The levâ€" el culture was better than hilling. Two lots, cultivated eight times, left perâ€" fectly level through the season, producâ€" e1 at the rate of 8384 and 8357 bushels per acre, and three lots cultivated five times produced 349, 325, and 288 bushâ€" els, the last lot being hilled at the final cultivation. The different variâ€" eties used showed that the same results could not be expected from all of them, but sufficient evidence was secured to demonstrate that level cultivation and keeping the ground loose were importâ€" ant matters in growing potatoes. Also that spraying the vines, in order to protect against potato beetles, at the proper times largely influenced the yeilds, as less damage to the vines reâ€" sulted. Some lots that were cultivated only three times showed a large falling off in yield, a fact which should be particularly noticed, as it is a common practice for a farmer to cultivate his potato crop three or four times and then "lay it by" until harvest. FREQUENT CULTIVATION OF POTAâ€" TOES . The old maxim that " tillage is manâ€" ure" has been shown to be true at Corâ€" nell University farm, where experiâ€" ments were made in that direction. Some plots of potatoes were cultivated In order to know whether it pays or not, it would be well â€"to keep an account of all the expenses, both labor an|} seeds, and interest on land purâ€" chased, then charge yourself with evâ€" erything used, and balance the account; and you will then know whether it will pay as a cash crop over an" above the inestimable value derived, in health, pleasure, satisfaction, etc., etc., of seeâ€" ing the crop grow and mature, furâ€" nishing fresh vegetables and fruits for every day in the year. Then there is another item that is all important. Be sure and get the very best seer! in the market, and do not run after every new thing offered unless offered by reliable firms. I would put the apples, peaches, pears cherries and plums on the west side for protection. Next to them, the small fruit, blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, currants and strawbherâ€" ries, then vines, tomatoes, beans and peas,; and, in fact everything that could be worked with horses, then the small stuff in beds, and last the clover. I would put the garden in the midâ€" dle of the field, or lot, about fifteen rods from the barn, with potatoes next to the barn, and sweet corn at the other end, and the garden in the midâ€" dle, and ther there would be no turnâ€" ing on the garden nor chickens to bothâ€" er, and nearly all could be worked with the horse except the small stuff would be worked by hand.

There is clear navigation from the head of Lake Teslin to Dawson, with but one rapidâ€"that of Five Fingersâ€" along the entire distance, and this, with care, is reported to be easily navâ€" igable on the northern or rightâ€"hand charnel. Out of Teslin flows the Teslin River, which, after being joined by the Big Salmon River, is known as the Lewes, which is followed to Fort Selâ€" kirk, where, with the Pelly, it forms the Yukon, of which it is the principal sourca and greatest feeder. is in Alaska. At Fort Wrangell bagâ€" gage and freight will be transhipped in bond to river steamers. The Stickâ€" een is navigable for flatâ€"bottom river steamboats to Glenora, and when the water is high they can reach Telegraph Creek, twelve miles further up stream. The trip from Wrangell to Glenora occupies thirtyâ€"six hurs. Upon the completion of this line the trip to Dawson City may be made through ut by railroad and steamers, From Victoria, B. C., ocean steamers run to Fort Wrangell. River steamâ€" ers will ply up the Stickeen from Fort Wrangell to connect with the railroad to Lake Teslin, and from Teslin to Dawson City the Yukon and its tributâ€" aries are navigable. The distances are as follows: Vancouver or Victoria to Fort Wrangell, 700 miles; Fort Wrangâ€" ell to Glenora 125 miles; Glenora to Lake Teslin, 145 miles; Teslin to Fort Selkirk, 400 miles; Fort Selkirk to Stewart River, 105 miles; Stewart River to Pawson City, 67 miles. Total disâ€" tance, 1,542 miles. Practically a monopoly is granted the contractors, and no line of railroad from Lynn Canal, or any point near the international boundary between Canada and Alaska will be authorized by Parliament {for five years from the Ist of September, 1898, and for ten years these contractâ€"rs will have the preference in counstructing any <ther lines of railroad from Stickeen River to an ccean port. Subject to the appâ€" roval of Parliament, the contract virâ€" tually provides a quick and easy route to the Yukon, and there is no doubt that the moncpoly clause will be the subject of hot controversy between the two political parties.
