Farmer party of-this province.-have added to- their,"numbers,-* those who are for 'keeping Bowser.down' and those who are, for 'keeping Oliver out". It will be the strangest bed* in which politicians ever" kept "each'"~other conv- pany. Just think of the divergence of opinion and how long it -would last!- How do you*suppose it could be controlled long enough "to formu- ' latera policy. There sure would be s\n awful noise���������a regular; Bedlam of choruses. And we are not sure but-that it would be worse than the pree;ent 'Bed of Justice' at Victoria, where everybody goes to sleep and lets0; the -affairs of-the- country, drift at its own rsweet .will. In either cases we would "not'know what was doing. -But -bfgt-.noises always attract attention. There certainly, is 'not any object ions to the farmers of the country having a party of their own, if thoy so desire, but to include the malcontents therein would be to defeat the object for which the party was formed,'- The two older parties will be that much stronger without the discordant ones. The farmers of the country may not be getting as- fair treatment as they think they should be-but nothing can be gained by the bringing in of a strange discord into the organization.

Various methods of; protection are recommended, and all of them have points of merit,' but the seasons; vary so.much that a method of protection that will give- success one year may.prove a. failure the next.- With "over.' thirty years' ��������� experienci in,- Wintering roses at Ottawa - - the conclusion "reached is-that1 soil will give-the. best protection taking-one year, with "another.-- ��������� ' ��������� .

In other parts of Canada where there is more snow or in milder parts of Canada where protection is necessary, the bending of the canes down and holding- them "down witn soil may be sufficient', though it will be safer to protect the. base and roots .with- a-mould of soil .in case there .may be severe - weather or little snow. At Ottawa this plan is followed, the mound being made ten to twelve -inches high. Leaves or brush .are-then" put over the exposed part of-the canes. -In ..Winter's, with little snow and when low temperatures come early in the season the canes' will -be killed to the" mound of soil, but, as a rule, the part-of the cane in the soil remains alive, and in the Spring the bushes are pruned back to the uninjured part, and strong growth and abundance of fine blooms will be obtained. In the case of climbing roses', which may be very difficult to protect with soil, it has been found that if a long bottomless box is put over the canes after they.have been laid down and then this filled with dry 1 leaves and. the top;put .on so rain will not get in, the canes will, as a rule, come through well, but very early in the Spring the lid should be lifted in order that air may get in and dry off the canes so as" to prevent the development of disease. ���������W.

Nevertheless, the'statement'is true. Asia's . teeming- millions consume ; more , rice than other -people--do wheat. Therefore, Japan, as' the world.'s greatest . rice ��������� producing country 'is to millions of- Asiatics the world's granary as Canada begins to be to the world of 'wheat eaters. ... But Japan is a small country; .it ��������� has to do its farming in an intensive' way, every acre.of its soil must - .be put to use, and every available. unit of its millions of man, woman and child .power,must work to keep"! the land productive. That is why/ most of the actual work in the*"rice fields is done by girls, girls who" ���������smile and chatter as tho-igh ever-"1* 'lastingly' wading' in ' the glorified mud puddles of rice fields were,a jollification rather' than' .a' labor. But the .smile is characteristic ofthe Japanese, working or playing. I.t is a national trait.. Duringmost, of the year Japan is a smiling- land, and no doubt the people come by their propensities honestly enough. Rice is grown in water-covered .fields.. 'If the water isn't there in thY> first place it.has to be pumped " up by curious little water tread wheels of one-man - power. These are always worked by men .because ' it is one of the easiest jobs on the rice farm. - After, the fields are" covered by" about a foot of dirty'water .they are-ploughed. This also is" a man's job, ar.dYa man usually, does it, probably because, the ox that draws the-plow needs that, kind of tal-kir.g-to.

" _ ��������� Captain Robertson is from now on a fruit^rancher, and he proposes to lead the simple life on the ten- acre property which .he purchased on The Bench three or -four years- ago. , -- r _, ( His career in marine circles -in.

The,'water has been allowed to run off the fields and the straw is cut close to the ffround. (2) The j clean" the grain with busy fan3 and a bright smile. (3) The young 'rice "shoots are planted by hand by girls \yho wade in the ware*, muddy water-that covers the field. (4) The witter wheel (hat floods the rice fields. ������ (5) The primitive rice mill. ���������half way to -their knees they go into the mud and,'water.'and by hand they plant the thousands of little rice plants that- go to make up a field and through the succeeding .months of the year they 'cultivate the water covered fields with hoes that seem too big ��������� for ,the little hands that hold them. , ~> ��������� The grain ripens to harvest, and tha fields are drained' off, and after the men have cut . it down with scythes the girls -and children again take up their labors. . - Threshing is a ..primitive operation. Large-metal combs stand in wooden frames and the straw is first pulled through these, the ears of grain being torn from the straw in the process. The threshing is done - by flails and the straw is cleaned by large fans in the 'hands of girls. It is- then ground to flour by hammering with heavy wooden mallets, or in primitive hand mills, and finds its way to the table in countless' curious and delectable forms, such as only Japanese cooks know. Japan is always lovely and interesting to the Western visitor, but never more so than when the rice harvest is under way.
