public schools of Ontario are frequently com pared to the schools religious or other wise of Quebec and always to the dis advantage of the latter We are all given to bragging in a loud tone of voice that our children learn more study more get loaded up with useful information more are smarter etc than the offspring of the seven teenth century Quebec Lets see now There is one thing that children of Quebec especially those taught by Sisters are head and shoulders over- our hopefuls and that will be made plain as you read on my christian friend I was down in Quebec not long ago and was out in the country trying to find residence of an old friend of mine On tho road I met a little lad on way to school As he passed me he lifted his cap and his face lit up with a winsome smite as he bade me Bon jour I took heart of grace and hailed him Can you tell me where Colonel lives my little man I he said- frank ly with another lift of the cap I not the how you call with I go wis you I show you he I protested that he would be late for school and might be punished Ah no no gesticulat ing eloquently with his little brown hand no Voila I good Sisters they be zay will be learn zat I bin of service to an I He then conducted me to the top of a hill pointed out the house and left me with a bow that would have done justice to a duke of the blood royal A week later I am in an Ontario village and met a smart looking youth in the road Could you kindly inform me where Mr John Smith lives Whaaat Where Mr Smith lives I re peated Which Smith Old Smith Smith er fatty Smith gangrene Smith Sis Smith shes the grey mare What you want with him enyhow I walked on in disgust Passing an school house in the summer you are liable to bo ston ed in the winter snowballed and you will be guyed and veiled at at all seasons and if you visit the school they will never- take their eyes off you in a curious stare while you remain The boys are never taught to show a and highbred respect for the girls and the art of lifting the hat to a lady a clergyman or an old per son is entirely lost in fact some of them have to be told to take their hats off in Oh yes we teach the a lot of stuff and they get to be smart and it is not uncom mon have tflko out certificates and diplomas before they shed their milk teeth but if we would throw some of the textbooks out of the win dow and teach the girls the oldfash ioned curtsey and how to cross a room as if they wore not going over plowed land and teach our boys to lift their hats and treat their elders with respect it would be better for us and them Gold on the farm Yes Farming has become a very interest ing study of late years and new ideas methods and theories welcomed by toilers on the soil from whatever source they may come While specu lators are going into over the mining boom and the spare money from the pockets of con fiding ana anxious for wealth citi zens in every city town and hamlet farmers waking up to the fact that a fanning boom is prevaling and that it is the live men who are going to reap the profits The old run in the rut stick in the mud farmer is going to get left just as sure as the old fogy mossback change backnumber merchant and tradesman is going to the wall financially all over the country The man who succeeds is the one who keeps up with the times in his re spective vocation Old methods old styles old calculations and old results are knocked out by the latter day cir cumstances and conditions A tre mendous revolution has taken place since our grandfathers time and a new business dispensation has been introduced towards the latter end of the century that requires the best thought talent ingenuity and skill in almost every sphere of activity that the mind of man is capable of exercising From these considerations this journal is constantly seeking to direct the attention of its readers to successful enterprises that come under the notice of its editors in order that our patrons may be in a position to take advantage of the favoring cir cumstances and be ready to drop in or near the front with the leaders of progress in every sphere of agri cultural industrial and commercial activity Today our aim is to direct at tention of every farmer in North York and elsewhere where the Era circu lates to the latest improved system of restoring and retaining the fertility of the soil so that the bid time big crops may bo realized owing to the virgin productiveness of the soil having been restored In this issue we give Mr William modus operandi for accomplishing this as practised by him on his own farm in and as now in operation at the Experimental Farm in connection with the Agri cultural College at where Mr is Superintendent and In structor buckwheat plowed down This would put necessary vegetable matter in the soil CROP ROTATION The system of rotation is more fully developed in the following paragraphs In some localities it may be found advisable to change the 4year to year rotation plowing down sod first year The method adopted for rape roots and corn is to plow sod about inches deep in early summer say after hay ing and give one cut with harrows at once- lengthways Follow in 10 days with disc harrows across furrows half lap and keep cultivating on surface till fall using broad share cultivator to kill weeds This will decompose the vegetable matter in surface soil and destroy the weeds If any farmyard manure is available give the land a good coat and then before it freezes rib with a double mouldboard plow into drills about 20 inches wide thus throwing the valuable surface soil into the small drills which will prevent the decomposed vegetabla matter from Immediately before seeding in the spring barrow down drill and seed at once and follow with thorough surface cultivation which will retain moisture in soil and kill all weeds Pealand is dealt with in this way The sod plowed in the fall is left in that condition during winter when green manure from stable is spread over it Use a gang plow in spring to turn in the manure then harrow and sow peas about bushels to the acre As as crops are harvested in the fall dont- plow but cultivate on surface Always cut peas rather than pull them thus leaving roots in the soil as the nodular on the surface contains nitrogen very valuable plant food which is absolutely necessary for the successful growth of wheat Dont plow up corn or roots but use a double mouldboard plow between drills and then cover the roots completely with soil which will be harrowed down the following spring before seeding down with spring grains Leave root tops on land and drill up same- as corn land when tops will be turned in drill same as corn roots Council King City Fob The following account were Webster gravelling Ball do A da

farmer was cranked to death by a fall ing tree carpet factory cot a scorching one morning last wees but Are was put out after doing damage v MR BONNIE B SYSTEM In order to grow successful crops three things are necessary 1 There must be vegetable matter in the soil This vegetable- matter must be decomposed so as to be in hi condi tion for plant growth It must bo retained in the soil until plants can make use of it By seeding down all grain with red clover and using all barnyard manure possible the necessary vegetable mat ter would be placed in the soil He advocated a three or four years rota tion according to the conditions and strongly condemned the practice of constant plowing by which the valu able surface soil is turned down and the crude matter brought up to the surface He advised farmers to adopt a systematic rotation Buch as the fol lowing 1st year hay or pasture 2nd year bay or pasture 3rd year corn roots rape and peas year Fall and Spring grain and seed down The sod should only be plowed to the depth of about six inches followed by surface cultivation only until came round again In this way the plow would only be used once every four years Plow sod early in sum mer haying and harrow and cultivate surface at once followed by a later cultivation in fall This would tend to destroy all weeds and thor- decompose vegetable mat ter If any manure were available it should be scattered over this and then the land at ribbed up with double mould board plow which would pre serve the available plant food until spring Before seeding down in spring harrow down and sow at once After corn roots rape and peas dont plow but surface thoroughly and bow fall or spring wheat and seed down with a lbs of red clover lbs and lbs of timothy In worn out soils when it is impossible to get a catch it would be necessary to cultivate sur face thoroughly then cow peas plow down when in bloom followed by In summing up an address before the East Farmers Institute Col OBrien put it in this way In the breeding of stock it is waste to save money in the service of the male animal It is economy and a source of profit to obtain the best suitable to our conditions It is waste to save money by letting our stock live through the winter on the outside of a straw stack It is economy and a source of profit to house them well and feed them well It is waste to leave our stock to the care of the chore boy or the man that we engage for the win ter for bis board It is economy for the farmer to look after it himself and see that the food is carefully and economically given the stables kept properly clean and the condition of the animals closely watched It is waste to feed cattle upon straw and sell all ones hay and grain It is economy and a source of profit to con vert these articles into meat to sell and manure to make our fields more fertile It is waste to buy expensive machinery and have it exposed to the weather It is economy to keep it un der cover and in good order It is in short economical and profitable to keep expenses within ones means and avoid speculation to convert the raw material of the crop into the fin ished article of beef pork mutton and butter and cheese for the market- and manure for the production of still better crops and thus to attain desired end of meeting the pressure of low prices by economy of method and increase of
