The hervestlns or the early crop

Tile picking is generally done by H- Sang of from four to eight wllo‘8o from farm to farm during the digging season. The potatoes are dumped illto a two-wlleeled cart, and hauled direct to market or te the place of storage, which is almost al. ways the cellar of the farnl h0nge_ They are tipped into it through gt* hatchway and shovelled been into large bins. where they remain till they are used by the farmer himself or hauled`away to market. Large quantities of them are used by the farmer himself or.hauied away to mar. ket. Large quantities of them are' used by the farmer for the _feeding of pigs, sheep, and, if the price is low, of cattle. No steps have yet been tnken by the Department of Agriculture of the island to faciliate the marketing oi’ potatoes.
When duckiings are reared with ll
hen there is no better system than to have a hutcll shaped coup with a wood. ell bottom over which can be spread a little dry soil and chaff. To this can be attached a pan about 6ft, lang and 3 ft. wide. The coup is set hack to the south, and with the rlln to the north of it. Thus the board- illg shades a part of the run, and if that is not sufllcient a sack can be laid over half of the rest during the heat of the day. The coup and r-nn must be moved once daily on to clean short grass. There is often an orchard

The simplest type of greenhouse is
the “lean-to," a shed-like house. w

greenhouse of this kind 10 by 16
feet will cost for materials $75 alld up. Where second hand material can be secured this figure may be reduced. l ot' the material can be secured locally but if the more durable iron construc- tioll is wanted, the framework will have to be ordered from one of the greenhouse companies.

Moreover. the greenhouse fur- nishes a pleasant place to work dur- ing days in the Winted when there is little that can be done outside.
PLANTS THAT MAKE ONE W_ELL.
A weed has been defined as a plant
in the wrong place. and accordingly, when occupying its rightful place. is a most valuable plant very often.
Throughout the summer at one time
or another the various weeds will he in prime condition and l would like to make mention of a half-dozen medi- cinal ones. a. knowledge of which would save many a family doctor's bills, avert much suffering, and the users would be far better off by the occasional use of these simpies than lf they resorted to the druggist for some nostrum_ `
The roots, leaves and flowers are
all used.
When roots are to be collected,
those of annals should be dug_just before blossoming. while biennials or perennial plant roots should be dug ill early spring or autumn. In short, gather the roots when the plant is resting, for if they are gathered dur-
ing tile plant's growing season they are deficient ill medicinal properties. for the reason tllat the strength of the plant is thell being expended ill flowering and fruitago.
After the roots are gathered they
should be washed cleall and be placed on clean, airy shelves to dry.
When the leaves and flowers are to
be gathered locate good, clean. thrifty plants during the summer alld then when the tinle comes lo gather them, which will be when just lliceiy ill bloom, you'll know just whefe to get them. Cut off the plants a few inches above the ground and take them home and hang them up in a cool, shady, clean place. When thoroughly dry or cured. place in clean paper bags, se- curely tied, and properly labelled, alld hang away in a safe place till needed.
The Dandelion.-This is perhaps
our commonest weed. If it were less
common it would be worth its weight"
in gold. Tile dandelion is an exotic, having come to us, like so many other good things, from Europe. lt has a long. Perennial tap-root, which serves as a great trunk-line for gathering nourishment from the soil. It is a gross feeder, and, of course, a bad occupant in our fields alld meadows, but it is, nevertheless. a most excel- lent plant. The root and flowers of the plant are boill used. The root is very bitter, but is invaluable as a tonic. aperient and diuretic. toning the liver and kidneys.

Effort of a United Empire

Wak Up Prince Edward Island This World War D
!
emands the Supreme
Shall Our Province Fall Behind
It should not be supposed that contributions of three or four hundred men
a few odd dollars, some bags of oats and boxes of socks constitute our rightful sacrifice. So far not more than a handful of people in all this country have any actual realization of what the war means. These few have given their husbands or their sons to the cause of Empire. The remainder have done nothing`_in com- parison with their abilities and their opportunities.
Our national life,our~ peace, _our prosperity and our happiness are so depend-
'ent ugon _the well-be1ng_ of the British Empire _that only by playing our part ln that mplre can we maintain our fortunate posltlon.
Up to the present ninety-nine per cent. of us do not realize what sacrifice
means, nor what_1s being endured by those nearer to the tiring hne than we are. We must give, not only of our material wealth, but of our blood, and not
niggardly, but with a generous hand,
' None of us wish to part with our husbands and our children, but it is bet-
ter that they should serve the Empire and save our homes than that our enem- ies should triumph and all that we hold dear be taken from us.

The 55th Regiment still requires two hundred men from this Province.
. These men must be furnished at once, and must be recruited from P. E._ Island
homes. We cannot ask strangers to take our places. The _duty before us ls clear, however hard the part may seem. Some will lose their lives; others will be maimed; many wil return. .
