White Currants Recommemtfd. White Grape is most generally rec- ommended throughout Canada be- cause of its faardiaess, size of fruit, and good jjuallty. but other good sorts are Large Wliite, White Cherry and White Pearl. The Gooseberry. The gooseberry when compared with other cultivated fruits is not as Important in America as it Is in North Europe, anrf especially in the British Isles where it has long been very pop- ular, and a wonderful improvement has taken place in its size during the last two or three hundred ye.irs. When it was first cultivated in Europe. â€" probably in the 16th cen- tury â€" the wild fruit, if it was like what it i.= now, would be only about one-half an inch in diameter and less than one-quarter of an ounce in weight. The largest gooseberries which have been produced in recent ysars average several times this size, some speciments two ounces or more in weight havitig be?n recorded. The English and European gooseberries are derive'l from a species nati.'e of Nnrtli Europe, called Ribes Gros- sularia. As the gooseberry is a native of Canada and is found growing wild almost or quits- to the Arctic circle, its culture will eventually do doubt be extended very far north. There is a steady though limited de- mand for gooseberries in Canada, but the gooseberry has never been gen- erally papular in this country. In Grea' Eriiain and Ireland goose- berries are used in great quantities for eating out of hand and for jam; in Canada few are used raw, most of the fruit beint, flut into pies, or used as jam. or canned. Propasation. Gocsebprries may be propagated either from cuttings or by layering. The average person will usually get the best results from layering, as cut- tings are often very unsatisfactorj To propagaie^ by layering, the bushes should be pi-uned severely in the autumn or early in the spring to get the best results. This will indtite a strong growth of young shoots the next season. When these have made most of their growth, which will be in July, the earth is heaped up around and through the bush until only the tips of the young shoots are left uncovered. The soil is packed dow.T vind th?a a covering of loose soil thrown over to retain mo e bet- ter. Moh'.t of the Americau variet- ies will have rooted well by autumn, and the youiig plants may be detach- ed and planted in nursery rows eith- er the s.trae fall or the following spring, to be gro^vn there for one sea- son. English varieties usually take two years ta root, and the soil must be left about the bushes for that time. Cuttings of American -varieties will sometimes give fairly satisfactory re- sults if made from well ripcjied wood and treated as currant cuttings. The cuttings are made six to eight inches or less in leagth, and buried in the LIFE WAS A . MISERY TO HER Says this Woman Until Re- lieved by Lydia E. PinkhamV >> Vegetable Compound.

The gooseberry is a raolsture-lovin' plant, hence a soil should be chosen where there can be a constant sup- ply of water during the growing sea- son. In dry soils goo.seberrles suf- fer very much In a dry time, the foli- age often falling prematurely and the fruit being scalded by the sun. The soil should be a cool one. Moi^ soils are usually this, but the surtace of a sandy loam soil gets very hot in summer, hence it is not the best for this fruit. Well drained, heavy clay loams are the most suitable for goose- berries as these usually are cool ajid moist. The soil should have abun- dant plant food easily made available. A. good application of well rotted man- ure thoroughly worked into the soil will do much to bring about these fav- orable conditions. The soil should be well prepared and made mellow as for a crop of roots. As gooseberries start to grow early in the spring it la usually preferable to plant in the autumn, and as the l^.ves drop early they may be planted in September and will be In good condition when winter comes. Well rooted cuttings or layers may be used as plants. They should be set in rows about six feet apart and four feet apart in the rows. Cultivation should be very thorough so as to retain moisture and keep tbe soil cool, and as the gooseberry roots near the surface, cultivation should be shallow; mulching with straw is sometimes advisable to keep the soil cool. As the gooseberry makes much more wood than it is desirable to leave, severe pruning is neceggary. English varieties are usually trained to a single stem, 6ut this is not neces- sary, although the freer circulation of air when trained in this way helps to prevent the spread of mildew.

The excellence of most of the French main roads has long been rec- ognized; but the war inflicted on them â- muiense damage, directly and indi- rectly, by destruction in some parts and by excessive wear, with reduced opportunities for raainten?nce, in others. in making good their roads the French are looking carefully to tho character of the traffic which will pass over them and are developinfg particularly concrete construction. A feature of the new ppads will be •.he massive concrete abutment on each side, where heavy traffic is ex- pected. The roadway itself in these cases will have a minimum thickness of 4.7 inches of concrete, the camber being 1 in 100.

Dear Sunshine: â€" It is pretty lonesome at limes. I am sure, especially in winter. But there are silent friends that we may have with us all the time â€" I mean books. I'd like you to make up your mind to make this winter the best you have ever spent. Make up your mind first to go on studying where you left off at school. \ou will he amazed at how easily things come to you now, Then get some good stories. Bor- row them from friends in town. Go to the library every time you go into town; and when you have the price of a g<x)d iKJok. invest in one. It will pay you back a hundred times over. You will have an interest in life that will brighten you up and make you attractive to talk to, so that people will want to know you. Try it, to please me; and I know you will never be sorry. ROSALIND. Saskatchewan. Dear Rosalind: â€" I am a b-ichelor on the Prairie ami would like some advice towards heart and social events. Would it be proper for me to ask \ married woman to have the first dance, providing her husband was not a dancer o.- he not being there, when it was only a small neighbor gather- ing? Is it right fjr me to give a neighbor girl a box c( chocolates if she has a fellow of her own. he sitting there when I give them to her? Should he care? I like a girl in this neighbor- hood ahout eighteen years old and I am twenty-oeven; this girl has a friend with whom she has been going for over a year. Should I try to cut him out in a nice manner? I love this girl very much, but I have not got enough money to give her a good time. Is it right tor mo to go along, with a fellow when he is going to see his girl and sit and wait till he gets ready to go home? iHoping to see this advice In the paper soon as I am worrying very much. JIGGS. Dear Mr. Jiggs: â€" I enjoyed your letter, for 1 have lived on the Prairie and know those happy limes â€" femininely speaking â€" when one girl was sure of half a djzen beaux. The best way to answer your questions is to take them one at a time : 1. Svrely, ask your married friends for d.mces, first or any other. If the lady's husband does not dance, sh? would have to sit that one out un- less some bachelors asked her. And are y;ni not all good friends together? 2. I am quite sure the girl would appreciate the chocolates at any time. U the man is sensible he will not care. If he is not engaged to the girl, it is none of his affair any- way. 3. There is nothing to prevent yon taking your chance at making your neighbor care for you, unless she has already promised to marry another man. If a girl loves a man. she will want him to save his money towards a home. 4. If the girl ha.s asked you to call, and you realty enjoy doing so and everybody else enjoys having you there, you may call when others are there and of course leave togethe?. >|dBREAKUPACOLD ^ JSTa B lets r/tr tme^ Uf \ Pff/C£ 25 i Dear Rosalind: â€" I have read your advice every week and would like .vou to give me some.

ANXIOUS FOURTEEN. My Dear Little Girl: â€" I think fourteen is pretty young to talk about "young men." Girls of fourteen have school boy friends of that age and sometimes they ex- change cards ^t various seasons of the year. I certainly would not ex- change presents. Ask your mother about the card. When you are eigh- been you may begin to think about "going with" your friends, If you will send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope I shall send you Violet's address. ROSALIND.

By giving proper attention to all the factors which enter into success- ful wheat growing, much larger yields can- be produced. This iias been es- tablished, times without number, by efficient wheat growers of Europe. The average man is disposed to say that Europe had until lately an abun- dance of cheap labor, which fact in it- self accounts for the 30 bushels of wheat per acre which Great Britain harvests, as compared with the W to 20 bushels per acre which are gather- ed in Canada. Theap labor has its counterpart in pur highly efficient farm machinery. By adding a horsS lo the team and by using wider plows, wider harrows, disks, binders, etc., it is possible to reduce the man-labor required in raising wheat from 50 to 75 per cent. This is America's an- swer to European abundant and cheap labor. The growing of wheat produces much more higtoly important food for each hour of man-labor put upon it. th.in do either potatoes or corn. When wheat yields 30 bushels to the acre; reliable figures shew that one hour of man-labor produces 1 2-3 bubhels of wheat. At prevailing yields, one hour of man-labor on patatoes p.'oduces about a bushel of that crop, while on corn, one hour of man-labor produces about IJi bu-tiliels. It is obviously a matter uf labor cconomv t^o grow wheat.â€" Henry G. Bell, B.S.-^..
