Gladioli are very much hardier. We often have not taken these up until after the first flurries of snow. In digging them we are careful tc se- cure all the little bulblets, or cormels, which have formed around the old bulbs. To save these, the old bulb, with the cluster of little bulblets, is lifted, and put in a screen with a fine mesh bottom, made for the purpose, which will let the dirt sift through while. retaining the little bulblets. Each variety is labeled and put separ- ately into strawberry boxes until thor- oughly dry, and after that in paper bags until the next spring. ------ " Dairy Products Values. The production of creamery butted in Canada increased three-fold in the first twenty years of the century and more than doubled in price. Figures given in the Monthly Bulletin of Agri- cultural Statistics, issued at Ottawa, show that in Canada in the year 1990 the creamery butter produced was 86,066,739 1bs., valued at $7,240,972, or a little over 20 cents per pound, while the quantity produced in 1920 was 110,030,890 lbs. valued at $62,- 806,794, or 66% cents per pounds, The total production in 1919 was 108,899, 707 lbs, valued at $56,371,985, or rather more than 54% cents per pound. The cheese made in factories in 1000 amounted to 220,838,269 Ibs., valued at $22,221,480, or a trifle more than 10 cents per pound. In 1920 the amount made was 145,921,008, valued at $30,087,987, or more than 26% cents per pound. In 1919 the quen- at $44,805,794, or at about the same price per pound as last year, The total value of all dairy products in Canada in 1920 was $144,483,188, as compared with $185,196,602 in 1919, being an increase in favor of last year of $0,286,686. The capital invested in dairy factories in 1920 amounted to $82,767,317, the number of employ- ees to 11,211, and the wages to $8,- wal $28,388,026, the employees 10,716, and the wages $7,629,097. ---- long as we live in the hearts we leave ind, we will never die. an age of 500 to 700 years. 11 An Ice House Each year we appreciate more and more the value of ice on our farm. Sometimes I wonder that more gen- eral attention is not given to the ice crop. For ice is a crop after all, and 'a very valuable one too. There is no one who can use ice to such good advantage as the farmer.

It takes, on an average, from 40 to 45 cubic feet to hold a ton of ice. A 'building 12 by 16 feet, 12 feet high, will hold about 45 tons of well-packed ice.
