According to the census bulletin pre
scntcd to the dominion parliament there
was a good deal oi hrd worU abouf
taking the Canadian censas. says tlu
Chicago Herald. "The work of .tuning
the census of Canada has diKicuilies pe
culiar to the country nhich, apart from
tho system adopted, cause delay in ob
taining the returns from enumerator!.
In densely populated countries, unilei
the de facto system, t'i distribution
and collection of tlie sjucdules is ac
complished in a few days. In En-rland
40,000 enumerators obtain the house
holders' sch 'dules in a day or two
each having ta collejt an avera're of 70 i
schedules. The vast population 01
llritish India, 2S.7o.').(0 people, wah
taken by nearly 1.003.03J enuincrotorb
in twenty-live days.
'In Canada the stoT of enumerators
numbers 4.30,1 persons. These had to
traverse tlie immense area of Canada
by every im i-rinabhi inithod of locomo
tion. A steamer with enumerators on
board traversed the deep indents of the
Pacific coast line as far as A la.sk a
thence to Queen Charlotte inlands, to
enumerate the people. Pack horses
were , required in the mountain rep-ion
of the same province to carry the enu
merators and their portfolios through
the valleys which run along the hills of
the rookies. Do trains wero a neces
sity in Saskatchewan.
"To obtain tho population o.i th'
northern slopes of the hei;rht. of land i
Ontario and Quebec a canoe expedition
started from the headwaters of th
Oierve river to go by lake and river an.
portages to Albany river at James' bay
Damping outfits and canoes were need
;d to enable the enumerators to take
the population in the Xipismnjr district,
just beyond the 'height of land.' The
inumcrators in Manitoba had now to
foot it, now to go by buckboard, and
low by boat, and in one Instance the

3t Lawrence a schooner had to be
jhartered, the enumerators put on
Board and dropped at different points
antil the Straits of Uelle Isle wero
reached, from which point tho schooner
was directed to the Isle of Antieosti,
the census of which having been taken
the schooner returned to the straits and
sailed along the coast, picking up the
"numerators and returning to the
mouth of the Sagucnay river."

How Our Tour Ilun Ireil Compete witll
th. Ktlete Arl.toc ary of 1 urope.
Only those who have visited ducal and
royal establishments abroad can have
any conception of the scale of splendor
maintained in the great houses of thi i
eountry's plutocracy, says the Illus
trated American. Every department is
a. study in itself, and not the least in
teresting feature of Mrs. Frederick
Vanderbilt's private palace, for in
stance, is the linen closet, where all of
her costly damasks and embroidered
linens are stored. Of course, everyone
has heard of the pilot lace sheets Mrs.
Willie K. bronght to her pretty sister-in-law
from Kurope awhile ago. They
were a decided novelty over here, and
naturally created a sensation among
millionaire housekeepers. It may have
been the acquisition of these very ex
quisite bed coverings that incited Mrs.
Vanderbilt to order her linen cupboard
with such nicety. Certain it is that no
system or detail could improve upon the
present arrangement. The closet is in
reality a room finished in henlwood and
admirably decorated. Every device has
been studied to preserve the articles
and facilitate the means of getting at
them. The tablecloths, each with its
particular set of napkins, arc laid away
in sets, the napery all being of the
very handsomest d'seription. and ar
tistic as well as valuable. In place of
shelves, or drawers pulling b ick and
forth, a sueeeision of m i.Tnillecnt
pigeon-holes are built in on one side,
with doors that put up an l l-t d iwit.
Every set has itsseparatc cornea rtmcnl
with the name outsi.le, in or 1 t that n
maid may put her hand on the ri fl.t
thing at once. This system is earned
out in disposition of all the linen, v.-bieh
is naturally of the finest quality, anl
decorated with rich and rare drawn and
needlework. Vert vert, lavender nnil
orris root lend a faint and delightful
perfume to the sheets, pillow-eases and
towels, while a mere sug"e ti m of vio
lets, heliotrope or white rose is permit
ted in perfuming the uapcry.

NEW METHODS OF PLANTING.

31 'eh has been written oflatoonwh.it
Is iy,ed the "new potato culture," by
- ieh it is claimed 400 to 1,000 bushels
i be grwu on an acre in one crop a
ir. The 1,000 bushels mark has not
icen reached but it is claimed it can be
'.one in a favorable season. Over 000
bushels have been grown.
The system is called the trench and
level culture plan. The soil i worked
very deep and thoroughly enriched with
special fertilizers. Then trenches are
ti ned ten inches wide and eight inches
(ep, ihe land having bejn plowed to a
depth of ten incaes. The bottom of the
trench is then covered with two inches
of sjiI mixed with sufficient special po
tato fertilizer. On this the potatoes are
placed and covered with two inches of
soil and then three inches of soil and
fertilizer. When the potatoes are up
the ground is level, the trench having been
filled up gradually. The surface is kept
i an of weeds with a hoe or shallow
running cultivatoi. This is apparently
a vast amount of work yet it is said to
pay well. Where land is worth from
$:i00 to $.r00 an acre, and rents for $"0 to
$75 or more an acre for the season great
crops must be raised to make it pay.
Let us apply this system in a modified
form. On this Coast there are large
tracts of sandy, alluvial looms of great
richness and depth. It is fully as rich
naturally as need be for any potato crop.
If plowed twelve inches deep when at
the right stage of moisture some of the
best sandy loams, free from "hard pan"
and "bed rocit," fall from the plow as
mellow as an ash heap. It does not evea
need harrowing, but harrowing and
cross harrowing will firm it down if in a
Lurry to plant. But if left a couple of
weeks it will settle down all right.
With a heavy two-horse plow, open
trenches the width of the plow, eignt
inches deep and three feet apart.
In these trendies drop good, large,
Bound potatoes, cut into quarters, two i
pieces to the hill, sixteen inches apart !
and cover them deep. This gives four
inches of mellow soil under the potatoes,
Then as the season advances the trenches
should be gradually tilled. Then if in
a c.imate where the potato ia liable to
blight spray early witll a weak solution
of the Uordeaui mixture. This wi.l
give an iinni.mse crop of potatoes. The
secret of tne plan is that the plants grow
two full crops oi potatoes, one above the
other. In other words tne tubers have
eight inches of soil to fill instead of two
or three.
If tne land is not rich enough it can
be made so with special fertilizers. Tne
new agriculture or scientilic farming
growing crops two or three thins as
great as tho average heretofore is the
kind that will pay best. As much may
be realized from ten acres as from
twenty to forty acres by the old system.
Tins can on.y be dene by giving the

California l-'rult Growers Trying: to Come
Together.
The recent convention of fruit grow
ers at Fresno, Cai.. took the initiative in
organizing the trade for business pur
poses. Any organization of fruit growers
and shippers that is not based on tne
plan ot one central board of control, will ,
tail of its principal object, viz the proper!
distribution of green lrutts. buehan
organization to accomplish any mater, al
good should cover not only C.iiilurnia,
but the eniire Pacihc Coast fruit grow
ing sections. I
With a strong central management
with authority to direct green truii ship
ments, mil ;h good might be done. lint
if Fresno, Han Jo.iqiuu, .Sonoma coun

working independently of each other,
what is to prevent the niarKet of any
given Eastern city lieing Hooded wi.u
fruit by cars arriving siniuitu:.eoady
from a half dozen shipping comers?
Let a ccoiral manage. neat control the
matter and then instead of five cars
reaching fcit. Paul iu one day for exam
pie, let mo rivf curs be consigned to as
many different cities. In this way oiny
can any permanent advantage be uenved
from orgainzaiio.i of growers lur ship
