SUGGESTIONS Many Travel on "John" As to the Growing of Good Vegetables By Austin Richardson, Lawn Hill. There are a few things to consider before sowing the seed. Amongst these are the tilling of the soil. It is very important to dig your ground over in the fall in order to get the benefits from exposure to rain, snow, frost and any other of nature's army of fertilising agencies. You cannot dig your ground too often, supposing, of course, it is fit to do so. For instance you would not dig in snow or when it was exceedingly wet. If the ground is not at all inclined to be squashy, then dig if you have the opportunity, and always dig deep. Another essential point is plan so that you do not grow the same thing on the same ground year after year, especially with potatoes. Potatoes. The first thing to do in growing potatoes is to choose good seed. The seed end of the potatoe should be broad and uniform in shape and with few eyes; these eyes being shallow. Some time before you want to plant place them in shallow boxes, with the seed end up, and keep them in a place with plenty of light. The place at first should be cool because you should aim at getting the skin green and hard before the sprouts start; generally the lower sprouts do not come, and in this way all the energy of the potatoe is concentrated in the few sprouts at the seed end. It has been proved over and over again in England, Scotland and Ireland, that the crop is mucfy better and greater from seed sprouted in this way and it is done very extensively in those countries. It is estimated that the yield is from two to three tons per acre more, than by using seed haphazard from the potatoe pile. You also get earlier potatoes. Should you want very early potatoes, about ten or fourteen days before planting, partly cover the seed with loose, moist soil; cut the seed to two eyes and by putting the soil over them they start to make root, and you can calculate to have new potatoes from an early kind in from seven to nine weeks. Last year I had them in eight weeks from the State of Maine potatoe, which is not an early kind. You will have much fewer small potatoes by cutting the seed a fair size, but not more than three eyes to each piece; if you have too many eyes the number of shoots startingjfrom any one growing plant become crowded and are more than the land is capable of supporting Another reason to cut them is because it helps the sett or seed to rot, and we have noticed when a potatoe has not been cut and not rotted that there are nothing but a lot of very small potatoes at the root. Another thing that the Old Country growers The new summer service of the G. T. P. steamers from Vancouver and way ports to the Queen Charlotte Islands commenced last week. The Prince John (Capt. Wearmouth), made the first trip on the new service and arrived in the Inlet on time last Tuesday morning. Every berth was taken up, in fact sleeping accommodation was at a premium. Even although extra "sleepers" were installed on the " John " before she left Victoria, this was not sufficient to accommodate the large number of passengers, and temporary berths were made up in the dining saloon. Most of the travellers were for points in Skidegate Inlet. The passengers enjoyed the trip up, good weather being encountered all the way, while their creature comforts were ably looked after by ehief steward Sam Jackson. That the new service will become popular there is not the least doubt. The Islands will be brought more prominently into the public eye, and many will come here who had not the opportunity of doing so before, owing to the poor service in the past. Many will also come with a view to locating and investing. A good tourist trade should be done during the summer months as travellers will have the opportunity of coming to the Islands direct, thence to Prince Rupert, and back to Vancouver and Victoria on the larger boats, or vice verjsa. Mr. Alex. Cotter, ticket auditor, of the G. T. P. Coast Steamships, of Vancouver, made the trip and was exceedingly well pleased with the result. The "John" had a large consignment of freight for Island points. Owing to the alterations on the Prince Albert not being completed in time, the sailing of that steamer was postponed for a week. The following passengers were for Island points: Aliford Bay—A. McDonald, Jane Donald, M. McKay, J. McLeod, C. L. Hanessy, J. McGlashan, Mrs. Bass, Mrs. Gardner, J. Loiser, N. McLeod, M. Bass, M. Losier, Mr. Clayton. Queen Charlotte—W. H. Wall, T. H. Wall, J. W. Maunce, R. Hudson, Chas. Jackson, Wm. Scales, G. E. Dale, J. McLellan, F. Mallory, Mr. and Mrs. Mallory. Skidegate—A. Jones, 0.

They will not grow from their own seed year after year; but you can keep up the vigour of your seed by a good choice of seed for a time. I recommend putting seed in shallow boxes two months before planting, and regulate the warmth accordingly, estimating to get the sprouts about two inches by that time. You will find this way a help in growing potatoes for exhibition. Bulletin No. 49, from the Central Experimental Farm, is the best work on potatees I have seen.

It is invariably very interesting to know what others write about the world and particularly about Old England. The following is a translation from a recent editorial in the Vancouver German Press: " Everybody knows that England is not exactly blessed with too much of an agricultural population, and a few days ago in the British House of Commons there was quite a lively debate on the best method of stopping the emigration of English farmers to Canada. The Government was forced to acknowledge the weakening of the farming population through emigration, and further that it is powerless in the matter. Just recently it was announced that there has not for many years been such a lively business in farms and farm lands in England as at present, because so many members of the English landed aristocracy are selling out to settle in Canada or Australia. Very significant indeed; the situation in the Old World, especially in Europe, is continuously fermenting and a deep uncertainty and uneasiness has taken hold of all the people; what we see going on in England today has actually not been spared to any of the great European nations; except perhaps France, which suffers anyhow from the surplus of deaths over birtns, and the German Empire, whose splendid economical situation restricts emigration to some extent. "No wonder that in view of such events our mind travels into a future which our present generation will hardly see, which, however, may be nearer than some people think. '' Whatever the outcome of the Balkan War may be, in place of the old Ottoman Empire there will step in a number of mighty and strong Slavish kingdoms, so strong indeed, that they will in real earnest hasten the process of becoming "Slavish," which has been going on in Austria and Hungary for about thirty years, and the World will have to abandon the conviction, hitherto held everywhere that Austria is a German state. Like the grip of a heavy iron hand Germany then will be enclosed on her eastern and almost to the middle of her southern frontier by the antagonistic Slavonic races. History shows the tendency of the people to advance from the East to the West. It looks as if this movement is again now in progress in old Europe. Pressing ever westward, long ago the Aryan race populated northern Africa, southern America and partly advanced even to North America, looking for homes there. Bismarck, with farseeing statesmanship, taught the Germans the need of colonies, and even if their colonies in Africa have developed slowly, there is yet another part of the world unanimously acknowledged by the Germans as a suitable and desirable sphere for a home in the West; there is room enough for many millions of settlers in the immense territories of Brazil and Argentine. "Again, the Anglo-Saxon race is pushing more and more towards the West. Already by the hundreds of thousands the Irish race have founded homes on the American continent and the prevalence of the Scotch accent in Canada is decidedly noticeable! Now this westward movement has taken hold of the real Engishman, even to the Lord of the Manor. Does this not show that the day may come when old Europe will have passed its Acme and the people may find it more advantageous to settle entirely in the New World. Yes, the day may come, when the English may remove their capital and the residence of their Sovereign from London to Montreal, and the billions of dollars spent today for the protection of the little Islands, forming but an infinitesimal part of the whole Empire, may be better employed in developing their colonies. The English commerce and industry, crowded together in the homeland, could be transplanted without loss to the vast areas of abundant raw material offered by Canada, New Zealand and Australia. "One thing, however, cannot be LUMBER We can now serve you direct from our large mill at OCEAN FALLS via the new direct service of the G. T. P. Steamship Co. brought across the water. You may take with you all the treasures of historical and cultural value, one may ship the contents of the museums and the pictures galleries, all the rich collections of art and science; but you cannot take with you the hallowed memories which linger over the places of an honored old age where mankind through thousands of years struggled step by Step to its present stage of culture and development. But this will not stop mankind from pressing onward to the West. Thousands of years ago Babylon and Nineveh existed as the most conspicuous centres of world culture. The archeologists are just today beginning ■-' * ' '== to realize the magnificent stage of development reached by those cities—and yet they are sunk in ruins ! The progress of the world was not hindered in the least by these events ; and so the morning may dawn when this dream is nearing its realization, even if the bodies of those who lived through the twilight of this process may have been put to rest long, long before.
