THE FILIPINO8.

What manner of men are those against whom the Uaited States are now fighting? This question is answered by Mr. Edwip Wildman in the course of a lewter recently written at Manila to Letlie’s Weekly. , Mr. Wildman says that the Filipino is wtietic and hisclothing is cleao—two tremendous strides towarde civilization.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND SEED- ING NOTES.

To the Editor Farmer’s Advocate :

Siz,—I prepare the land inthe spring for grain crops by harrowing, as I make ita point to have all plowing done in tbe fall. By putting the disk harrow over the land about iwice, setting it pretiv deep, and then following with spring-tooth or pike harrow to fine it up and level it, I find it is in geod cendition for the drill or seeder. For potatoes we u-e the same cultivation, then spreadthe manure on top. if it haa not been plowed in in the fall, Land for roots [ plow once or twice in the spring, *oasto getit loose and fixe in tilth.

The varieties of spring wheat that give the best satisfacuon here now are the Fyfe and White Raésian.

It will not 1 kely be in much favorin future, Jn oats, [think the Norway or Tariarian (black) are about the best suited for a general crop on good land, as they have # stiff etraw and stand, aod yield well.
