I i t tt^twt^'t^tyfitt'ntt^tt^ttmtyitit OUR ,'IB.T U1BTHIIAV, Tod.v The Leader celebrates the firat .nnlv.rs.ry ol ite existence. Great eh.ngea have taken place in Ladysmith â inc. Th. Lbadeii issued ite firat number, on September 7tb, 1901, Irom tbe building which was the lartbeat north in Ladysmith at that time excepting the foundry. It ba, been a year full ol hard work, varied experieocee and many trials, but The Leadku ia here to etay. We have seen Ladysmith at tlie lowest ebb ol its fortunes; we are prepared tu accompany tbe enterprising people ol this thriving town tn the prosperous days which are coming, as we ao often pre' dieted. Thi Leader has done what it could to help the Ladyemith people to keep their apirits up and now we can pretty safely aay bard times .mine again no more. Borne journalistic triumphs Till Leah- â t hae achieved ; it may In. ungracious to mention it, but ao olien has The Lbad.b (oreatalled Its esteemed Nanaimo con temporaries that the Nnnaiuio people have come to look tu Tim I.kjo- â a lor ex.'.lnsivn information wbiuh ia worth Bo much more (ban colutnna ol .nbaequent comment. If tbe Nanalmo paper, bad served tbeir public as faith- fully aa The Leai.ek has served Lidytmith and Nanaimo, they would stand higher in the esteem of the intelligent Nanalmo public tban Ihey do loday. Amongst the -.famous nanma whiuh have appeared in tbe Hat of nur con- tribntora may be mentioned those of Mr Bernard MnEvoy, the well-known Oa- nadian litterateur land Mr N. II. Dole, ol Boston, Mass., the Amariiuiii trana* LtorolOooutTolatoi'a works irom th. Russian, and editor ol the American editions ol "Omar Khayani." Within The Leader's year of exia- tence marvellous has been th. change ln Ladyemith. Tbie hae risen to b. th. greeteat coal exporting port on the Pa- ciflc Coast.; wehnvna rumrd of 700 yes- eela entering end clearing here in aeven months; the Tyee Copper Company have abont completed . smelter which il destined to be the most important on Vancouver Island,âtbe vast mineral wealth ol tbe mountain, behind Lady smith hu been ascertained, new Indue- tries have aprung up and othera ai. ea- t.bll.hlDg tliemeelvee here alnioat every SE month; dwellinga hay. been elected by the hundred, whole streets at. time. Whereas Tn. Liade. building atood practically alone a year .go, it la now hidden hy scores o( residences snd other buildinge. The fine new aohool on Spion Kop ia nearing completion, Ladyemith haa 500 children ol school age and â¢ population ol 4,000. Th. Company ha, centred nearly all it. intereala here, including the pay and hiring offices. Further additions aro contemplated next spring. Ladyemith Board oi Trade haa done noble eervlce in keeping tbe needs of the town before tbe government and has earned the gratitude oi the cltltana for ita unselfish and moat enterprising labors. It would he difficult in a brief article lo enunicrute the various things Unit Imve signalized La.iy.mith'e wonderlnl irrowth within Ihe first year of Tu. Leader's life. Suffice it to eay (hat the (mure of thia town ie assured beyond peradventnre; it I, the city ol Ihe (mure so lar ae Vancouver Island la concerned, and Ladyamith 1. only at Ibe begiuning of ita development.

Tbo next naval battle will be a Kilkenny cat affair. IW Ralph Smith, M.P., in his speech on labor night in Naniimo, repealed tbe false statement about the miners of Extension now living et Ladysmith. Mr, Smith knows well thnt his assertion In this particular is Incorrect, but it is a good "gallery" appeal In Nanaimo, and itia to tbe "gallery" tbat Mr. Smith now looks for hia political salvation. Tbe facts reganlii g tbe Ladyeml'b* Extension queition have been carefully explained in Tub Liadii belore, and they have never been refilled, or even con'indicted. The Company has broken no faith with iln employees lately residing at Extension, From the first day's work at Extension tbe men were carefully warned not to look upon that camp as i* place of abode. Time after time the same warning waa given; by many it waa treated wiih contempt, because they did not believe tbe Con pany would cairy out Hs determinate to allow no dwellings around the pU mouths. .Then, tbe matter of travel between Ladysmith and Extension, Mr. -Smith knows full well how favorably lhat row* pares with the lot of many of tbe Wrt- lington, Nanalmo and Nurthfield mii-ei* who had to pay out ol their own pock â '*, (or transportation to and from work. Wellington miners lived in Nanalmo, Nanaimo mi era lived In Northflt-*!-). Were ever any complaints heard Irom those men about the extra two hours hetweeu them nnd their work? Never ft word. Instead of getting Iuto comfortable railway coaches, well warmed in winter, and being taken free of charge to tbeir wotk In ball an hour, those men had to trudge throngh snow, sleet, rain, mud or summer dust, arriving at tbeir work tired and getting borne fagged ont, Tbe late residents ol Extension have built Ior themselves here pretty and comfortable houses, and it must be a pleasing thing for tbe heads of families. to know thit their women and children are living in a place like Lidysmitb and not existing lu a place like Extension. Then tako the ease uf the Nanaimo men who have obtained employment with tlie Wellington Colliery Company at Extension mines, many of them de* ulare that they never earned anytblna like tbe wages in Nanalmo tbat tbey aitf earning tu Extension. Of course every body knows tbat Extension has been a Thb Lradkb had tbe pleiumre of publishing exclusively the first newe of the hnsineRH compact hf-twoon Dr. K. E. McKiichnio nud Dr. H ig'e. Tby l-'ri'f PreBB said on Tuesday: "Tin* exiali-nrn ot this partnership BgiTenient was not generally known till recently." Tbat ie correct. Until Tim Lkadeu publish the facts even the Nanaimo papere bad never heard of it. The miners have elded to stop this agreement, anil uo Or, McKechnie hae received hte cotit- which means a loss tn blm o| about $3,000 a year, and Dr. H-g1*- n-eanw.1 will carry on medical attendance until the men decide whom thoy want aa col Hery surgeon.

Tho lien needs wurmer houses and drier surroundings thnn does ihu duck, A duck does not. mind tbo cold if sho cun keep hoi' feet warm. Cold feet will affect a duck as a frozen comb (Iocs a hen, retarding laying uml Inducing ailments. The feathers of a duck are almost impenetrable and will withstand -almost, any degree uf cold. Again, a duck cannot stand the amount of confinement in a house that a lieu cun. She is more restless in disposition und is given to exerclso in a greater degree than is a hen. Indigestion Is not so prevalent with ducks as with chickens. ' In tlio first out is shown a simple house that may be built ut small expense, It, Is plain anil has a shed roof. Such a house, should bo built of rough boards, BE FOit IHtKKIUNU DUCKS. 12 Inches by 1 inch, and joints covered by strips, ii inches by 1 ftich. "Tho roof should bo mnde water tight and covered with tarred papar, shingles or tin. The outside should be well drained around ihe bottom that It muy not he damp, Some advocate board floors raised six to eight inches from the ground and covoretf from four to six inches with dry earth, straw or leaves. Tbo writer favors tbo using of board floors in all houses for chickens, but thinks It not essential for ducks. If thu houso is woll drained on thu outside and the earth floor is covered wiih hay. straw or leaves, it will be perfectly satisfactorily. There must not be dampness in the bouse, us the birds will not do so well. While thoy are given water on ihe outside, they must havo comfortable q'.ai'tors in which to "warm up" or "dry out." The building shown may bo constructed of any dimensions desired, according to tho size of (lock to be kept. A house 111 by 14 feet will accommodate nicely a Hock of a dozen.

Wo must concede Unit the product of a crenmcry that depends upon bund eepnrutors Is uot as good; consequently it brings n less price In the marl-rot. This works un Injustice to the dairyman who hauls bis milk regularly lo the creamery. Tbls, however, can be reduced to o minimum by delivering lhe cream as often us the milk Is required to be delivered. We can seo no reason why ereuni should not be taken to the creamery its often and in its good condition ns milk." Tbe point tbat Mr. McConnell makes relative to the delivery of the cream to tbe creamery every day ls a very Important one, says Hoard's Dairyman. Farmers who buy farm sop* orators wlll make no profit iu the transaction If Ibey hold tbeir cream so long that Its flavor Is Injured and a loss ensues In tho price of the butter. KiuiHiiH Dairy Cowa, Secretary Coburn of the Kansas state board of agriculture reports that tbo average yearly product of the Kansas â dairy cow Is $il.il5. They have been mostly bred for beef or ore the "dual purpose" cows which Professor Shaw so much admires and what we should call "scrubs" of uo particular breed, giving ii cnlf every year, a little milk und some cow beef when killed. Several creameries reported that the average amount paid patrons for tbe milk In the year was about $20 per cow. At the Agricultural college thoy had an average receipt of $37.75 per cow for butter fat ut creamery prices. These were scrub cows. One scrub co.v whlcb tbey bought for $80 returned $00.88 for butter fut in 1808, which was $-10,87 above tbe cost of her food. Tbey wore well fed und well cared for, of course. One trouble with scrub cows ls (bnt Ihey usually get thc scrubbiest kind of food and care, whlcb makes u mighty poor combination. Cntiitttlun f'bet*Mo Prodaoen. The cheese markets show uo Improvement, though exports ao far this season show it falling off of over 200,- OU0 boxes, writes J. W.

Ou the other baud, our butter exports show a large increase, over lriit.OOO packages this season to dale (Dec. 20), as compared with the eame period in previous years. Choice creamery is selling nt from 20 to 21 cent! por pound to tbo export trade. If this condition of affairs continues, cheese will no longer be king In this country, but butter, No Cunndltiu trade Is more hopeful today than that of export butter. biuck of tbe bouse. Jh.t more than half the eggs tiro laid on the 'fit.or of the houso or i*u the yard, und if permitted a duck will build herself a nest to ber liking.

Tho successful dairyman knows pretty accurately Just the ratio of milk production of bis herd for each month of (he year, and ho will furthermore ascertain the relative'amount of milk ami cream given by each Individual cow. It la absolutely necessary lhat the record ahould bo kept, nnd then In* telligcnt iiieiiioils can be iiiwpled for diminishing tbo fulling off of milk ln fall and winter. Unquestionably the food problem Is nt the bottom of this falling off, hut wo bave found out thnt by artificial methods or feeding wo can to n largo extent correct this. The cow tllflt bus ii good winter's supply of en- si luge, roots, buy and grain Is not apt to fall oil much In the quality or quantity of its milk, Hut tbe question of feeding ibe whiter cows with good milk producing food Is nlso one of expense. No dairyman could fall to prepare a winter dlel (hut would keep tho supply almost up tu the standard of tbo summer If ho chose liberally of sll the foods In (ho market. Hut (he moat cosily foods are generally those whlcb glvo the best results. Consequently we nre hampered In finding the best re* suits for the least cost tnriro nnd Sinnll Cowa.

Tho old notion used to ho I but. plums preferred a heavy clay soil. â This is still true for ccrta-n classes , WiiiniWillillI" \ m11 ^iimwiww-âmwmiihiiimh TUK I'litM* I'llliXf-O. One-year-old trees just from the nursery, on tho left; pruned for planting, on the right Of plums, particularly tlio doincsllcus and damsons, but other varieties ; thrive in other soils. Taking all kinds of plums together, the . best - soil Is that which would bo suitable for apples, and tbo general rula regarding apples Is that, they will thrive on any soil well suited to po- . tatoes. Almost any soil will do, pro- j vlded only that it is well drained. It must not hold water either in summer or winter. Tho best plum trees for planting are either ono or two years old. In general, it is probably best lo order two-year-old trees, especially of do- ' niesticas and damsons, The tri-.es limy be set either iu tbo fall or spring. In general, the latter Is to ' be recommended. Tho method adopted by Horticulturist "iVaugh in pruning and training young trees is as follows: Tho ! young trees as (hoy come from the 'â nursery have tho looso ami broken roots cut off. The top is pruned to a straight whip hy the removal of all branches, and this whip is cut back to a height of two or three , feet, depending on the variety and lhe strength of the young tree, chiefly ou the former. At this point, whero the whip is cut back, tho heed of the tree is to bo formed. During ' the first summer a number of branches will be sent out from nit aides of this Btr.il_-.hl stock. Theso i are carefully watched and their num- : ber regulated by pinching off uli , those which aro not desired. From four to six of these sldo branches aro ! preserved, the objoci being to havo them ns woll distributed around the trunk as possible, so as lo givu the tree a proper balance. On a thrifty trcu these side branches will make a , growth of two to four feet onclt the first year. Tho best plnn is to cut off tho tips of these branches early lu September or bite fu August, so as to stop growth and harden tbem up. Cm* must bo taken to bco that Muckers and water sprouts are kept i-u'.hod off. A i. the opening of tho second spring tbe tree consist of a short trunk ; with four to six diverging branches, ' These aro cut back to a length of six lo eighteen inches. The weaker the tree the mors closely It Is shortened In. On those four to six branches tho head Is then formed. From ono to three now branchesâpreferably twoâare allowed to grow on each brunch, and theso ore iront ed during VOI'M) I'l.l'M Tilt'-!'..

THE LEADER *++£ 1 lxKlywtio wants to save money on Printing that this shop's prices are lower than those of any other office in the country. Having satisfied ourselves on this point we shall be pleased to compare notes with any who doubt. The quality of Tun I.isadkr's job work is equal to anything pro- â¢ duced in the Province. Tun Lkadkr employs only skilled union workmen, receiving the full union scale of wages; its prices and quality are always up to tlie accepted standard. Ladysmitli merchants and others who scud lo Victoria, Vancouver and other places for their job printing can save money, time, misunderstanding and annoyance by investigating Tin; Lkadhr's statements as published here. When we cannot print certain classes of work we tell you so, we do not take j'our order, have it done else where and charge you middleman's commission. Our Motto Is:â"Squaredealing; one price for nil; our best work iu every job.'' No trouble to estimate. Call and see us ubout that job printing work you are wanting and we will save you money.
