001B6BF9 Seasonable Garden Hints By W. T. Ib[acoun Dom. Govt. Horticulturisl Forcing Bulbs. The forcing of bulbs in the house in «dnter is eo easy that more people should experience the delight of having hyacinths, tulips, da[fodils and others bloom at that time. The bulbs should be planted as soon as they can be procured in the au- tumn, as, unless a good root sys- tem is made before one tries to force most of the bulbs, the bloom will not be satisfactory. If good loamy coil cannot be ob- tained, satisfactory results may be had from coarse sand. A soil that does not bake is desirable. For hyacinthrc tulips snd dafl'o- dils pans of five or six inch pots arw most satisfactory. Three tulips and daffodil bulbs do ivell in a five or six inch pot. When planted in pans six or more tulip bulbs are used. Provide drain- age for a pot by putting a piece or pieces of broken pot, coal clinkers or charcoal in thc bot- tom. fill the pot with soil and shake it down by knocking the pot against something. Do not press down the coil to accom- plish this, as it will be too firm and the bulb will lift out when it begins to root. After jarring the soil, place the bulb on the surface and press down until the upper side of the bulb is level with the surface, then make the soil firm around the bulb with the fingers to prevent it lifting. After planting, there should not be less than three-fourths of an inch space between the surface of the soil and the top of the pot, as, if there is less, it will be difFicult to give enough water. The pots should now be put in a cool part of the cellar, but where the soil wil! not be frozen. bVater thoroughly and see that the soil is kept moist until the bulbs are well rooted, which will be in six weeks or more, and until they are forced. If the soil becomes dry the roots will be injured and they will not force well. Freesias and Chinese Sacred Lily do not require to be well rooted before forcing. One should not try to force tulips before January, even though they show growth above the soil, as, even if well rooted, they will not force satisfactorily before this. A Champion Bowler Mr. J. V. Mawdsley, ivho re- sides at Gordon and ih[arine Drive, is the champion bowler of the C. P. R. Club. Recently, at an atTair held in the Vancouver Hotel, he vvas presented with a beautiful smokers'abinet in recognition of his prowess.

For sometime I'ur farming has been coming to the fore in the province nf British Columbia and West Vancouver has now an up-I~late rabbit farm, owned by ih[r. C. iV. Barton, which is situated at Fifteenth nnd Queens. 6[r. Barton is going ex- tensively into the business and has 200 Chinchilla rabbits housed in a rabbitry 60 feet by 22 feet. At present he is the only rnncher on the North Shore ivho is going in for the mnased production of rabbits for their fur aml ment. nn&l it is hin in- tention next year to buil&l four more rabbitries of the same &li- mensions as the one he has just erected. The Chinchilla is a large rab. bit and the fur is very thick aml fluffy an&I of a soft grev colour. The skin is thick and wears well. In addition to its beauty, the chief peculiarity of the fur is that it cannot be imitated, as each hair has five rings of a dif- ferent shade. At the present time Chinchilla rabbit aml silver black fox are the fashionable furs in London, England. The Chinchilla has four litters a year, the average being six to a litter, an&I the rabbits are bred to be seven months ol&l between October and March, when their fur is at its best. The manure is the best pro- duced and is used exclusively by florists, as it never burns the roots of plants. Mr. Balion is shortly going to start pelting aml will have skins macle up ready for collars an:l culTs and trimmings, which he is willing to sell locally. The selling price of the furs is $4 a pelt tanned, while he is selling the meat for 25 cents per pound --20 cents less than the Van- couver price--as stated in the advertisement appearing in this issue. Mr. Barton will be gla&l to show anyone over his ranch at, any time and expects to be con- nected up by phone very shortly, when orders can be phoned in, if desired. Death of Mr. Don. Macdougall West Vancouver residents will hear with deep regret of the death of ihfr. Don. ih[ac&lougall, which occurred in bVinnipeg on Tuesday. Afr. ih[acdougall, whose residence is at Fifteenth and Fulton. was engnged in the con- struction of an hotel in IVinni- peg ivhen he was suddenly smitten with an attack of appen- dicitis. He withstood the opera- tion and was getting along nice- ly, when he took a sudden turn for the worse and &lied. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow and three children, to ivhom the sympathy of the whole com- munity will go out in their sud- den aflliction. Mrs. White's Store. Sold SIr. A.
