[" WITNESS and Canadian Homestead NOUGALL & SON, VON DU SLISAERE : ! THE WITNESS is working through its readers in every province, and they through it, to made Clinasly o Lavd & loo\u2019 The Week's Outlook A Patriotic Gesture A PRESSE.the leading French newspaper of Cansda, has done à very patriotic thing in promotiag a contest for the best flag for Canada.In these days when flags are so much in question, and when other dominjons are more or less recalcitrant, tbe move is altogether timely and may bope te receive the.attention long denied it by busy and occa ajoaally embarrassed rulers.For our own part we could be entirely satisfied with the Union Jack which has always been our right flag.It is, of course, a fiction to call it The flag that braved a thousand years The battle and the breese.But fags wave in the region of sentiment Tather than of fact.Even in that region we have indeed no desire to recall by em- bien \u201cthe theusand wars of old,\u201d mostly selfish.What the Union Jack means to we ls what Wt says: the \u201cunion\u201d that should hold the empire together.By all means we do not want to lose it.As, bow- ever, Canada\u2019s most patriotic wish is to be a nation, à wish we have is every; way fondled by using the Words \u201cnation and \u201cnational\u201d wherever possible, nothing is more natural than that abe should x [ VOL.LXXXI.NO.23, wish to have an emblem of her own.add would make a poof show, to put a green leaf on a red flag.That ia out of tle question; but it is Wôt-wecessary.The slory of the maple leat is its goiden autumn splendor.A golden, that is in flag longuage, à yellow, leaf would blase on à red ground.We greatly appreciate the service the Presse has rendered to Canada and we defer to the wisdom and heraldic learning of the distingulsifed Judges; but In the choice of colors we have to appeai te the nation which we are convinced would prefer the faming £ag, which.with its unfortunate and unin- &piring defacement, is the one they bave long used.The red flag with the golden leaf has met with much distinguished approval.The late Lord Strathcona ac- vocated it.both In Canada and in Britain.The Pelitieal Outiesk , R.MEIGHEN'S mission to Montreal ls now a matter of history.The Conservative leader has given further proof of his earnestness and assiduity by acquiring a working knowledge of French.But: neither In that language nor his mother tongue did he contribute anything that Is likely to change present conditions.It was the aggressive critic who spoke; tha leader looking forward to a period of opposition, rather than premier-in-waitiog Mr.Meighen's Implied diagnosis of the situation is prob ably correct.The position of the present government can never be called secure.Nevertheless it has developed very defl- nite strength and should survive not oaly this session but possibly one or two more.There is a -significant turning of eyes from the more pressing domestic prob lems to other more distant Sgids which Tequire attention.Comstitutional problems press for solution.During the past two years different decisions by the Privy Coundil bave illustrated the nesd for pro- Sympathising strongly with this motive, | viding some \u2018clearly .acceptod method ot the Witness has been all the more in pro-! amending the British North America Act test against the preposterous flag devised ; and ln various editions spread among our | Mople by some Giasgow flag printers.For ships hailing from Canadian ports Canada was allowed to place her cost of arms, simply, and with no absurd frills, upon the British red ensign.Canadas has never had Ly right any distinctive flag ashore, and, is thus uncommitted.As éhe wants one, det it be a worthy ome\u2014ouve that will speak affectionately and proudly to afl her many peoples and shout loudly for her the worid over.Such is the purpose ci à national flag and such is the obvious object of our contemporary.The terms of the Presse contest were that the flag should express British loyalty and bé truly and univerfally Canadiag.The judg- rient was put into the hands of four experts, namely, Victor Morin, N.P.,, LL.D, President of the Historical Society of Montreal; Arthur G.Doughty, D.Lit.Archivist of Canada, Pierré Roy, D.Lit, Archivist of the province of Quebec, and Mr, Samuel M.Baylls, vice-president of the Boclety of Archaeology aud Numismatics, Montreal.Their judgæent is now announced.It is a white flag with the Union Jack in its right place,and a green maple leaf spread broadly on the By.Ot course these eminent judges could oaly choose between such desigus as came before them.There Are no less thaa three claimants for the one described.It cer tainly tulfils the noble conditions.The Traple leaf is a universally loved Canadian emblem, worn proudly abroad by Cana.dlans of every province and of every race.Nothing can take its place.We must own however Lo à strong preference for tbe red fiy over the white one.Red is self asser- tire and inspiring whether projected ogainst the sky, against the green landscape or in the street.Its associations are more exbilerating tham those of the white flag, the token of surrender.The British white ensign was siways blasoned with the red cross of St George.What has evidently led to the choice of white fs the desire to make the mapie leaf green.lt would be false heraldry, asd we must when the occasion demands it.The conference of premiers, now in session at Ogtawa, is a purely provincial affair.Nevertheless it might well be made the preliminary for the larger constitutional conference which the prime minister has long intended to call.Even this matter is of relative unimportance as compared with the questions of Canada's British and world relationships.Next autumn's imperial conference will be, perhaps, the most important In history.The attitude of the dominions to Locarno tends to bring to.a head the long unsolved prob- iem of reconciling the principle of autonomy with the need for unity in foreign effairs.The present idea! of Empire is of a Commonwealth of free and equal nations subject only to a common king.Yet the absurdity of several nations speaking for the seif-same king in several different and even discordant voices is perfectly clear.The creation of any elaborate machinery to discharge the functions of the present British foreign office is contrary to British practice and ideals.Stil} the dominjons cannot escape the morat obligations of the commitments of Brit- fish foreign policy, whatever they may say in times of pence.But, if they cannot escape the obligations, they can share le making these amenable to their own desires.Sooner or later the principle of responsible government will have to de applied to the realm of the foreign affairs of Empire.Unfounded ~ Suspicions TATEMENTS by Mr.Lapointe aud Mr.Brownlee have removed some dangerous misunderstandings.It {is now ciear that there ia neither an attempt, on the ope hand, to deprive Roman Catholics of privileges already guaranteed, or, om the other, to augment Jesuit encroachments.But it is less clear than ever why such a delicate subject was s0 anneces- y resurrected.It appears that the minister of justice himeelf was respos- le for the insertion of the conteu- MONTREAL, JUNE 9, 1926.- t'ous clause; that it was accepted by both Governments; and twice passed by the Alberta legislature.Some editorial writ ers saw In the clause in question an attempt at curtailing the powers of the wovince with regard to education.The lack of a timely explanation certainly allowed that suspicion to grow.Finally the Alberta legislature amended the agreement by providing that school land revenues should be administered \u201caccording to the law of the province.\u201d Mr.La- vointe\u2019s clauses read \u2018according to section seventeen of the Alberta Autonomy Act.\u201d As all the powers of the Alberta legisiature are derived from the latter act, and as the Alberta leaders declare that they are in nowise casting doubts on the validity of th#t act, the lay mind would imagine that there was no difference in effect between the clauses in question.However, the government ts, no doubt, doubly wisé in establishing the validity of the Autonomy Act once and for all.This expedient will galn time ia which the delicate question may he allowed to again subside.But it will also clear up questions that are of great import.In case the act were held to be ultra vires far more than a mers school regulation would be thrown into chaos.More Light on a Mess HE release on ticket-of-leave.of Mr.Peter Smith is halled by his fellow in conviction, Mr.Aemflius Jarvis, as an episode in the coming vindication of both.We Shall not be impuguning the sentences imposed on these two by recalling the fact that ome, the vetsran handler of money.who knew well the import of his acts, got six months on a penal-farm, while an unsophisticated farmer.who got beyond bis depth in what was evidentiy a very dirty stream, got three years in the penitentiary.both sentences to rua until the six hundred thousand dollars computed es stolen should be made good.This amount was later reduced to half, laying two hundred thousand on Mr.Jarvis and one hundred thousand on Mr.Smith, Mr.Jarvis served his term, paid his share\u2014under protest\u2014and sailed for England.Mr.Smith has his hundred thousand hanging over him still.Of course it is understood that robbery by a servant is a much more serions offence than by an outsider, professional or wet.We use blunt terms, as such are called for by the finding of the ccurt: and far more important is the clear ring of the people\u2019s judgment than the amount or the quality of the penalty.What Mr.Jarvis says, somewhat oracular.ly.is that \u201cthe further and deeper this investigation goes into the character of the evidence and the evidence itself, the more the true situation will finally become accepted.\u201d He has po mind to let things be.He demanding his money back and thinks there is more to be learned about the matter.Is he seeking for the light on the facts, or only to discredit the supposed light nairendy ahed?1t the former, may he have great success.The Party cf Liberty ETTER used to the reins than to the traces.Mr.Lloyd George took a course ln the recent crisis differing from that of the older statesmen of the Liber.ai party.The very word Liberal implies that the party is made up of peopis who do not take kindly to bondage.Mr.Lloyd Ceorge bad no notion of going over to the Labor party.That would have been ridiculous in view of his continued re- probation of bolshevism which he inaist- ed had control of the Labor party.What iz sometimes of more weight in politics is that it would have been Impossible, Since the snub administered to him last summer during his negotiations with Mr.Soowden.Mr.Lloyd George has known well that he could get no welcome from the radical wing of Labor which utterly butes him.The resuit of such & move would have left him repudiated In turn by ail the three parties.Mr.MacDonald, 81st Year.FIVE CENTS A COPY SUBSCRIPTION HATES INSIDE who naturally wanty neither his help wor bis rivalry ia his leadership of labor aise juered at the idea of hls reported ap proaches to the Labor pogition.He said Le bad better join the-communists.At the same time Mr.MacDonald heartily invited Liberals of the rank and file who were also involved in the clash, to cross the floor.It is probable, all the same, that Mr.Lloyd George, who, after all, is only moving as fast as conditions insist, i+ ott the right track of his eminent namesake Henry George, which.being based in righteousness will and more rule ia economics, and that he has a larger share of Liberal opinion with him than the Com servative element in the party suspect.In these aims he is on virtually common ground with the Labor party: for the difference between the Labor program of nae tionalizing land.gnd the Henry George formula for taxing alt land to its fuit rental value, is chiefly one of administrative methods.[n any event the party that does not keep abreast with progres sive conviction.consclous or uncon scious, can only dwindle.Moreover, we cannot side with any rule of parliamentary enmity.It is against the very soul of Liberalism to make a crime of fraternising - with men of other -pa ties where agreement and cooperation are possible.As between two minorities, it ts against common sense.The Wily Wets EW YORK State, by deciding où à referendum ou prohibition.bas initiated a movement that is perplexing American political leaders.It is à foregone conclusion that New York will vote wet by a large majority.It is a foregone coaclusion, also, that the other six states, which have now decided to take a vote on the question, will do likewise.These areas have always: been opposed to pro- Libition.There will be nothing start ling in a large liquor majority.Certain leaders, however, Including temperance workers, fear that an entirely false Im pression will be created if the wets are allowed to carry out their plans unmolested.Not only would the outside worid accept the verdict as a moral defeat for prohibition but certain lakewarm districts might easily be stampeded to the liquor banner.For these reasons there Is some talk of demanding a nation wide referendum so that the great mass of the peo- pie, who heartily believe In prohibition, could have their views recorded.There ic ttle likelihood of this being done.Under the American constitution it would be an altogether pointless procedure.The fact that a law is embodied in the constitution presupposes that it is endorsed by two-thirds of the states.If the reopie are not satisfled with the law it may be changed by the reconversion of the necessary number of states.The astute liquor leaders are well aware of these fucts.They recognize the hopelessuess ot the task of starting out to nwullity ihe prohibition law by the labored process of capturing two-thirds of the states.The cleverpess of their present muve Is ap parent.They have everything to gain and nothing to lose in the coming referenda.Conversion And Consternation C ONGRESS has defeated the Haugen bill a measure designed to raise American farm produce prices by removing the exportable surplus from domestic competition.The farm bloc bas carried the fight to the Senate, however, and promises to carry it to the country in the presidential elections If its demands are not met.There is a certain grim bumor in this situation.The American farmer has been so violently converted to the protective system that he threatens to overthrow the party which mt ae doutes ualess It will carry its system to th e al conclusion.The hard headed westerner argues something like this: You haw = TWO esavinced me that the preservation of the home market for the home producer ie a good thing.The effect of the tariff \u2014 which we agree is beneficial\u2014is to raise prices by the amount of the customs duties.But our exportable surplus of farm produce, which is offered for sale on the domestic market, Is keeping American prices down to the world level.The gov- erument, therefore, must remove thia sur.Pus from domestic competition.Let the surplus be sold abroad, but let us raise domestic prices te the world level plus the tarif.This argument may seem log: Jeal enougs to the farmer, bat it is a Pauseating thing to those business Inter eois which are the backbone of the pro tectionist party.The leaser fry, who veally believe in the system, realize that to double the number of the privileged moans to halve tha privileges of each.On the other band \u201cbig businese\u201d is hostile for another reason.More and more it tooks to world markets.It now competes in the export markets with increasing dificulty.To further raise costs of production at home would mean certain din aster abroad.Hence the present anxiety ta the Republican ranks.The growing impression is that the couversion of the farmer to protection may well result in the wrecking of the whole system far sooner than would have bees the case Bad be been loft to brood in opposition.West Indien Aansciation URSTION: What are tbe West In dies?Anawar: Those islands and other British areas which signed tbe \u201cWest Indies Trade Agreement\u201d with Ca made.Representatives of these aress Bava been in conference four times with.ja tbe past twelve years.Three times tLey bave journeyed to Ottawa to negotiate trade agreemests with Canada.Now they are meeting in Loadon for a wider purpose: the formation of a permanent conference which shall contimsally con sider the common affairs of the various areas.The proposed body would be modelled after the Imperial conference.Its decisions would be subject to ratifica- tien by the component states.sun it te frankly described as the first step to ward the formation of a united self governing dominion.Such a dominion would be impossible at present.The areas affected range all the way from pure crown colonies, ruled by as appointed governor, to fully self-governing Islands.Typically British, they are governed in a dosen different manners.The Barbadoes preserve, simost unchanged.the constitution granted by Charles tbe First.The Leeward Islands sre a federation.Brit- tsk Guiana, ou the South American maip- Isné, partly retains the form of government In vogue when the country was Cap tared from the Dutch.The Spanish is fluence js apparent in other places.Brit- M» Honduras, also on the mainland, stilt remembers the government of the primi tively pure democracy\u2014the general put- lic assembly.Naturally some of the aress would hesitate to merge their identity in that of a larger state unless convinced of offsetting advantages.Nor is there any such present intention.But the Ottawa meetings have shown the need for some machinery to handle common affairs.Changing conditions have made closer association desirable for other reasons.Experts have decisred that most of the prob.jems of intercommunication In these areas can be solved by the use of aireraît.Produce standardisation and marketing associations are also mentioned as essential i the competition of the expert American merchandising organizations ia to de met.These are only à few of the reasons way closer associstion ls desirable and inevitable.The decisions of the con- teremce will be worthy of note.The Unifler ARSHAL WU, warlord of Ho nan and potentially of a central China, managed in some way to come to terme with Chang of Mascheris, and so to shove aside the \u201cNatiomsiiet\u201d army which, ander Feng.had been boiding Pe kin until, according to report, Feng.on some impulse of conseience aor fudz- 1t is WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD,

strategic position between Darope and India.That, of course, is a reason that makes no appeal at all to the peo ple of Egypt.Secondly, that Britain is pledged to protect the large and varied communities of foreigners resident im Egypt.There is reason in this, but the Egyptian nationalists are not likely to ses it.They will saturally reply that foreigners are ae safe in Raypt as Esyp tians are in England and that thez them selves can protect th: ms The British evidently do wot share that confidence.But the Egyptians canpot help looking at the matter from their own point of view.There ars, of course, other elements in the question behind those.No outside observer can question for a momest the anormous and benigs results of the Brit- {rh protectorate ever since the suppres sion of the revoit of Arab Bey.indeed, the self-governing politics} system under which this vote of the people has been taken Is parely Baglish.If the Egyptians are a natien at all it ie under that pro

Free State or the Treaty under any considesation, and those of milder mind, who follow Mr.de Valers and are wilting to come inte the Dull on condition that the Oath of Allegiance to the King should be removed from the Constitution.Mr.de Valera describes his economie pob fey as \u201cbroadly ational\u201d and as aiming to safeguard the interests of labor aad the small farmers.Then there is Deputy Mageanis and bis followers who favor removing the oath or making it optional, In order that Mr.de Valers asd his fo lowers may take their seats.There ie the Labor Party, which, Fm spite of obvious shortcomings, kas performed valuable service as à \u201cLoyal Opposition.\u201d There is a Peoples\u2019 Party, s Farmers\u2019 Party, à nomber of Independents and besides all these there is an endeavor on the part of the \u201cIrish Times\u201d to form what it calls a Centre Party composed of former Unionists whose rather indefinite policy it would be \u201cto support the Government when it deserved support, and io submit doubtful measures to strict and impartial criticism.\u201d It is hardly possible that all these groups and parties combined can poll more votes than the government supporters.For the Government possesses not only the prestige which comes from achievement, it has by far the most compiste organisation and the best filled party chest.The necessity which faced it four years ago, of putting down armed rebellion, and of keeping order in a couf- try honeycombed by insurrection, has de veloped in the machinery of atate powers and methods which would have evoked

war brought the lowly rabbit Into the limelight as a producer of cheap and excellent food and this, slong with some new varistieg caused by various Trosses.has put the raising of rabbits on a scale it never had enjoyed before.The chinchilla rabbit, the new breed, Bas un doubtedly done more towards popularising the raising of rabbits in this country than any other one factor.The chinchilla: rabbit originally came from France, and although there is much controvérsy as to its origin and those responsible for it, we need not bother with that here.It bears a very close tur resemblance to the genuine chinchilla of South America, an animal prodte- ing a pelt abouf eight inches square and worth over one hundred dollars a pelt.The chinchilla rabbit weighs when matured from five to six and & half pounds.At the present time thousauds of dollars are invested jn rabbitries an%' plant equipment, particularly on tbe Pacific coast, where the business of rabbit raising is most extensive in Caneda and the United States.Large farms are equipped to raise them on a gigantic scale; the meat is shipped in trucks, weed for mo other parpose, to local markets, where it finds a ready sale; the bides are ship ped to the fur sales, or made into wonderful fur garments on tae premises; while even the manure Is saved and sold as fertilizer at good prices.\u2018While there are other breeds of rabbits being profitably raised for fur and meat, the chinchilla stands supreme as a general utility breed, producing in addition to meat of a very fine grain and flavor, the most valuable pelt of any species of rabbit\u2014due chiefly to the fact that it actually does resemble the genuine chinchilla end cannot successfully be imitateé.The Canadian Small Breeds Association, (head office Oshawa, Ont.) in their standard of chinchilla\u2019 gives the following apecifications:\u2014 \u201cOolor\u2014To tesemble real Chinchilla fur, the undercolor to be siate blue at the base, intermediate portion pearl grey, merging into white and slightly tipped with black, the wholes of the body fur from nape to flanks interspersed with longer Bbajrs of jet black, both even and wavy ticking admissible; neck fur very much lighter In color tban body, but this is strictly confined to the nape; the flanks and chest to be ticked of a uniform shade of pearl grey, but of a slightly lighter shade than the body: the eye circles to be light peart grey, distinct and well defined; the under parts of body to be white, with undercolor slate blue; the tail to be ticked and slightly darker than body on upper side, white on under side, and the whole carried in a straight line with the body.\u201cTextures and Density of Fur\u2014Exquis- itely soft, fine and dense, not a \u2018fling coat,\u2019 length of fur to bs not less than one inch.\u201d .\u201cRabbit raising,\u201d you may say, \u201cls not feasible as a fur proposition, for who would want to wear rabbit far?\u201d Opinions, of

nutrition.Very briefly ite chief fube- tions in the anlmat economy are: As AD appetizer and a substance which make the fead more palatable; as a stimulant and tonic.when taken in small amounts; as a source of hydrochloric acid, s mor- mal constituent of the gastric julce.Its use therefore leads to a larger consumption of food, and, further, by stimulating digestion, permits the snimal to make & larger and more profitable return In Sesh or milk production.Of all farm animals, cows in milk require the largest amount of salt.It y be given at regular intervals or mi with the meal at the rate of half-pound to 100 pounds of the comcentrates\u2014or the cows may be allowed free access to it as rock or block sal in the manger.Oue ounce per head per day.if used as barrel sait, will meet the requirements of the animal satisfactoriiy.Jt is only whe the supply is irregular that any fear n de entertalned of the animal taking more sait than necessary or consuming too much resulting in scouring.Sheep require sali and there should be no neglect in supplying it either by trough\u2014barrel salt\u2014or by rock salt.it | should be available to them at all times.Horses thrive best when regularly sup plied with salt, say, about 1 once daily.When hard at work they requife more than at rest for the resson .tbat salt fe | excreted in the perspiration.Pigs and poultry require less salt than other farm animals, but it should be sur plisd reguiurly.Brood sows should not be without salt, which may be gives im box, trough or seif-feeder.All stock fed liberally with rich petri- tious

Mediterranean countries before t'a: Christian era.The modern practice is traced directly to Germany and Hungary, At first silos for the storage of grees fo age were simple pits dug in the ground, larger at the top than at the bottom.Into these green grass was packed and tramped down by a number of men.Salt was mixed in at the rate of one pound to each 190 pounds of grass.The first attempt to

thoroughly when you do water, though.The callas and cyclamen buids need a complete rest, and to give it they are placed in a shaded place outside.Sink the cyclamen pots to the rims in the soil, either under a low tree or in a cold frame, but the callas turn on their side anywhere that they will not be ln the sun or bother ed by stock.Watch the cyclamen to see that the bulbe do not get dry enough to wither any, for the fleshy roots should not die off If it can be helped.They will start quicker and grow better im the fall H this is prevented.WANDERING JEW, TRADESCANTIA Iu their native region the

much used in hanging beckets aod wall bract>ts In the winter.The Tradescantias (Spiderwoots) are vigorous herbaceous perennials, of which Zebrina is perhaps the greatest favorite.Its foliage Is prettily striped.and its habit pendulous.It may be grown fo pets to be set in ornamental vases or baskets; or it may be reoted in vases or Jars of water where It wil) grow luzuriant.ly, à mot quite so

inches long when they may be placed in whatever part of the room you desire to use them.When the older leavas begin to dry up and look unsightly new cuttings may be rooted and used to take their place.- Tradescantia Virginica, kaown as common spiderwost belongs t tbe more hardy species used in England.It grows about a foot high and has blue flowers In spring; there arr several varietles including a White and a double, all of which thrive in ordinary sof) and are propagated by divis- fon in spring.THE PEAR PSYLLA The pear peylls is the most injurious fasect with which Canadian pear growers bave to contend.It is especially destruc tire in the truit growing sections border ing on Lake Ontario.In a new pamphlet of the Dominion Entomological Branch it is described as a tiny four-winged insect about one-tenth of an inch in length, reddish with dark markings in the summer and dark brown or biack in winter.Myriads of the insects sap the life juices of the trees they infest, robbing them of vitality, dwarfing the fruit and producing brown, dead areas on the leaves.They deposit large quantities of a sweet, sticky liquid, called honey dew, making trees and fruit very unsightly and Interfering with the proper functioning of the leaves.Closely planted orchards are especially ecoducive to the rapid multiplication of the psylla.and windbreaks produce conditions particularly favorable to them.The pamphlet, which may be obtained free from the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, gives detailed instructions for the controt of this pest.~ GETTING RID OF PAINT BRUSH When ! started rming, writes B.A.Vermont, to the \u201cNew England Home- $1620.\u201d 1 had nearly «all kinds of weeds.The farm was covered with paint brush and white daisy, but 1 am glad to say | have neither now.My way of getting Md of the paint brush did away with the faa too.1 did it by top dressing heav- ly with manure; possibly some kind of fertilizer would do as well.Individual Action is all that ie necessary, co-operat- 18 in.high when heavily top dressed, but pext year it will be nearly gone.Mors top dressing can be put on where necessary and that is ¢he end.Sait will not get you anywhere.It kills everything at the time and the paint brush will come back as soon as anything else.There is lots said about clover making the soit richer.1 think that -paint brush makes the soil both drier and poorsr.Has anyone else the same opinion?I have learned other things by working to get rid of this paint brush.1 have top dressed rooky pasture that I did not think was any good and it is now like a lawn of the richest white clover.Another thing 1 have learned I never read anywhere; that je, that swamp wild grass is only 8 weed and that heavy top dressing will kill it.In hollows between bills just a little springy wild grass would grow so rank that it was very hard to plow.1 don't think that wild grass evaporates water.It just dams it.If the same land in seeded to timothy and heavily top dressed the amall springs will act as ir rigation.I have tame grass growing right oo the edge of a ditch where the water flows continually no deeper than a plough furrow.Wild rushes used to grow there.[ have just started experi menting along this line but I have also cleared alders and steeple tops.WHEN TO sow trees bloom, or as early.as the ground can be worked.Spinach can be sown as soon as the ground can be prepared and onion sets planted for \u201cgreen onions.\u201d Onion sets are little onions sold by measure and soon grow large enough to pull and eat.Peas, lettuce, corn, salad, radish, beet and onion seed can be Jowa when the cherry trees bloom.Parsley, celery, carrot, parsaip and tomato seed can be sown when the pear trees bloom.Parsley is often slow in germinating and may be given up as a failure by tbe gardener before it is ready to come up.\u2018When the apple trees are in bloom js con: a safe date to sow corn, beans, cucumber, melon and pumpkin, PRUNING PLUMS Very little difference was noted in the behavior of beavily pruned plum trees, and treen receiving much less pruning io tests conducied over a number of years with several standard varieties of plums on the grounds of the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Geneva.These tests show.that most varieties of plums require but little pruning subsequent to the proper shaping of the trees after they are planted.: Since little pruning gives juat as good if mot better, trees, it is regarded as a waste of time and effort to pay :g0 much attention to the pruning of plam trees.The chief recommendation is to thin out thick growths where necessary, and to remove broken or injured branches.Little Pruning Bast Ten varieties of plums were used In the tests, Including Abundance, Bradshaw, Burbank, DeBoto, Grand Duke, Wayland, Pottawattamie, Reine Claude, Sbropshire, and Italian Prune.Practically the only difference between the trees subjected to the two styles of pruning was that the little-pruned trees had larger and broad- or beads.The heads on the little-pruned trees, too, wers more symmetrical than those which had been given heavier pruning.The fncreased size, however, In no way retarded the maturity of the fruit, or impeded harvesting.The size of the trunks and branches of the two lots of trees were practically the same, and there was very little difference in the height of the trees.The outstand- Ing feature seemed to be the larger aud more uniform heads of the little-pruned trees.,USE OLD ONIONS If you happen to bave on hand some old onions that bave sprouted oonsider- ably, do not throw them away.Plant them in your garden early, being sure to put them down.deep in the earth.Ar range the old onions about four inches apart In rowan.They grow rapidly, and in a short time will yleld crisp spring onions which are milder in flavor than those raised from sets.Each old onion planted will return a small bunch of delicious spring onlons, thus amply repaying for the trouble of planting.If you do not bave old sprouted onlons on hand, tive or public action is mot nesded.Palut brush is Like a young apple tres.they can be purchased

garden, Agaves, caladiums, dracenas, ger- anfums, fuchaïas, abutilons and other ornamental plants may be set out now.Winter flowering bouvardias, jasmin.ums, poinsettias, abutilons to be grown in pots during summer should be set out in the garden and plunged in the sofl to prevent rapidly drying out.Vases.hanging baskets and window or porch boxes may be set out.Fuchsias, geraniums ageratums, cu- pheas, petunias, hellotropes, &c., if propagated now make handsome pot plants for autumn blooming if kept pinched back for about eight weeks.Plan* out bouvardia coleus; sow ricinus, or castor oil bean, acroelinium, rhodanthe.If the space in your garden is limited, set your tomatoes two feet apart in the row, tie them to stakes and prune to limit the growth of two or three main stems.5 \u201cMost gardens lack variety, especially with reference to the salad crops and greens,\u201d states W.B, Nissley, vegetable gardening extension specialist of the Pennsylvania State College.\u201cThe home garden should include at least twenty-five to thirty kinds of vegetables.In ordering seed try a packet of each of the following: Garden cress, mustard, spinach, Swiss chard, kohl-rabi, all sown in May; New Zealand spinach, sown in May or June; French endive or Witloff chicory, sown In June; endive and Chinese or celery cabbage, sown in July, and a fall crop of spinach, garden cress ang mustard, sown in August or early September.Old potting soil from greenbouse pots or benches makes an excellent dressing for lawns that are subject to burning In the summer.Mix well rotted manure with the old potting soll.Bee that the whole Is well pulverized and scatter It lightly over the grass plot.After a few weeks brush the jawn with a birch broom and the top_dressing.will

this chick is largely a matter of having suficient and adequate mechanical equipment and using common seass.Good brooding equipment Is too often the last thing added in equip ping for poultry work, yet good brooding equipment will frequently save cmough chicks in a single season to pay a large share of its original cost.The labot saved allows more chicks to be cared for, or more time free for other duties.in the past fifty years various and in- geaiows pouitrymen have devised many methods of brooding chicks.Many whe have been In the poultry game for a per- fod of years remember the old frelese brocders.or the old out-door box brood- ory which were 30 aggravating, or the] expensive hot-water pipe system which added sc materially to labor and were none too auccessfai, or the small portable hovers with the lamp box ou the outside of the house, and the many other various devices which were attempied.The entire problem of brooding chicks was changed when the modern colony system of brooding came into use.Ths last ten years have seen a development fo of this colony aystam of brooding to where it ie now tbe generally accepted method of raising chicks.The Coleny Brooder The so-called colony method consists of giving the chicks a brooder room, which may be either a separate bullding or a room in a building alresdy existing.In this brooder room ia put a stove, fuel being either coal, oil, or electricity.In the past years stores were tried witk poor success simply.because the heat went to the ceiling of the room rather than down to the chicks on the floor.Because the stove did not have a rezu- lator it was hot in the daytime when it could be cared for easily, and cold at might when the cere-taker was in bed, Sut when the chicks needed heat most.Somebody comme along and, making thd stove small, put a metal canopy over it te reflect the heat to the chicks rather than sending the heat to the ceiling.Somebody else came slong and put a thermostat on the stove to keep the fire from going out at night.The resuit is the modern colony hroofer of today.Ome of the big reasons for success with this type of brooder is that it is merely à heating wait in the centre of the room.There are mo curtains or partitions of any, kind to force the baby chicks to satay under a certain heat, The chicks simply hover around this beating unit, having their choice of any degree of heat which is comfortable for them.The problem of finding the right temperature has been taken away from the man and given to the chicks.Another big advantage of this system of brooding is that ft is comparatively inexpensive as compared to many of the old brooding methods.For exemple.à ten by twelve portable brooder house and an ofl or coal-burnins colony brooder will take care of from 300 to #9 chicks successfully.This equipment will last for years and the tetal cost per chick raised fs almost negligible.* Brooder Houses Mest of the agricultural experiment statins are recommending portable Srooder houses wherever the amguat of land available permits their.use.The common recommendations call for these .portable brooder houses of either gable or shed roof type and usually ten by ten or ten by twelve or ten by lourteen feet in sise.Maly powltryman who have mot bad the experienes in brooding chicks object to these portable houses because where several are needed the caretaker bag to go from bdemse te bonse to care for the chicks.They prefer to build a single houns with several rooms, «nd fa building this they often make a serious mistake.Preventing Disease Perhaps the biggest problem before, the poultry world today is the problem of keeping poultry free from disease.\u2018There Is no one single thing which will tive chicks a better start than the use of the portable brooder house, moving this house to fresh soil occasionally.This means that the chicks can be start ed with the portable brooder house near the home of the care-takér.After the chicks are old enough to db without the artificial heat e team or small WITNESS ANDO CANAUGIAN HMOMESTEAD, JUNE 9, eo brooder house to move # out.into the edge of the orchard or the pasture field, where the chicks cad range on fresh, clean soli.When this system is followed danger of chick diseases.such as cocei- diosis, gupes, and intestinal infections, are very materially lesssued.No other system of drooding lessens the danger from there troubles ams does à aysiem which permits moving the broeder house itselt.Small Flecke Boat Another reason for failure to raise chicks successfully la the tendency for certain poultrymes to crowd too meny chicks around one Lrooder and in one Sock.Unfortamately, our breofier stoves are usually listed as 1.000 or 1,200 chick sine and the parahaser fails to realise that the size of the stove will not insuse the succesaful rearjag of that many chicks together.Thers are a few expert operators who are auccessiul in running large flocks of chicks together.but for the averags operators 350 to 400 chicks Is enough in one Beck.It is not alone the Mact that the larger flocks are likely to show heavy mortality, for that even where most of the chicks are faised, ln the large flocks the operator is apt to find ap the end of the summer that 20 many of the pullets raised are lacking in vigor and vitalfgy aad a high percentage are culls.This would mot happen bad fewer chicks been put together no that all chicks had a fair chance to secure their share of feed and roosting space.RAISING GEESE FOR PROFIT (By A.G.Taylor) The farm.being the nataral habitat of the goose, offers splendid opportunities tor profit from goose raising.The investment required to start this side line is relatively small whea compared with the profit to be derived from the sale of market birds in the autumn and the original breeding stock can be used for from six tea yesrs.The feeding of geese is very simple and inexpensive, and the houses required to accommodate either mature or young stock may be of very simple construction.The essentials to success In goose raising are free range.aud an abundance of green food.The breeding stock and al- 20 the goslings will live well If there is sr abundance Of temder grasa dr clover, even if grains or mashes are not fed.The breeding geese should start to lay about the middle of March aad the sggs should be set as socom as enough have been laid to make it worth while.The The annual report of F.C.Biford, the Dominion Poultry Hasbandman, for 1088.gave details of an experiment in the feeding of fish meal to .poultry as a source of animal protein, compared with beef scrap and tankage.; Three pers of birds wate all fed alike except that pen 1' received tweaty per cent.beef scrap, pea 3, twenty per cent tankage, aud pen8,

set in incubators, under hems, or umder the mother goose.It is a goed practice to sprinkie the esgs with lukewarm water ouce dally when tet under the mother goose or under hens, and twice dally whon set in an incubator.The moisteuing of the ogee keeps the embryo from becoming too ery and sticking to the shell, especialy at hatching time.Goslings require much heat after they are hatched and it Ig safe to leave (hem ta the iwmcubutor or under the mother goose for abowt two days after batchiag.The air in the incubator chamber should be maintained at the same temperature after the birds have hatched but the goslings shouid be let down into the nursery when they have dried of and are able to move around freely.When the gosiings are ready for feeding it is a good prectice te place a green sod near the nest or bronder and let the young birds pull the tender shoots them- seives.This will induce them to start feeding.For the first few days gosilngs sbould be fed on bread crumbs moistened with milk.When they are about à week old they may be given a mash composed of- equal parts by weight of cornmeal, barieymeal, bran, and shorts.This sbould be made moist Mut not sloppy.The birds should be fed three or four times daily for sbout two weeks.When the weather is fine give the birds their liberty bat \u201cthey should be protected from cold reins and confined at might until the weather tets warm.Give the goslings a good start and they may thes be termed on good pasture and the feeding of mash discontinued.Make sure that the goslings have pleaty of shade and a Nberal supply of from drinking water before them at all times, FEEDING DUOKLINGS Duckitegs should vot be given feed or water until they are thirtysix bours old.The proper way to feed them is described in detail in a new

this thought in view, Mr.R.L.Wheeler, fruit trans portation specialist, bas written pamphlet and the Domimion Department of Agr culture has published.Mr.Wheeler states that observations of the tender fruit traf fie from Ontario indicate that while the basket is a goed seller it is a poor loader and carrfer.He thea proceeds to show bow its disadvantage in shipping by rail can be minimised.After describing present loading methods and the effects of overtight loading be tells of the waste avoided by spaced snd braced doorways.There ls not the same probability of ead to end slack when the

the basket (six and eleves quart) always presents difficuities.If one sive Is received first and either squared off in a block across one end or in complete end to end rows the trouble is mis- imized.Details are givea of a test of the temperature of twa cars carrying grapes from St.Catharimes to Winnipeg last September which argue strongly for the spaced doorway.Waste often results from tmjudicious effort to squeese ia one more row of baskets.The pamphlet, which can be had free of cost by application te the Publications Branch, Ottawa, and contains a series of miso or tem

but at night Teddy was à different boy.He was.afraid to go through a dark room, either alone or with any one else.There were so many things that might be hiding in the shadows.To him, a harmless chair was po longer harmless in the dark.Why, ft might be almost anything to grab a person,\u2014and s0 many things might be under the chair, t0oo,\u2014things that might hurt little boys.Mama and paps had tried to reason with him.How could there be any bad thing fu a dark room?They would tura on the gas.and go with him into every \u2018corner.look under every tabie and chair, and behind every door, to show bim that really there was nothing there to harm him.But it was all of no use.The minute the gaslight was out he could feel that those things might be there again.Now Teddy's grandfather used to give Teddy, and any friends the little boy wished to take to the museum, passes, or tickets which would iat them in at the door without their having to pay any admission fee.The pass read: \u201cThis is to let Theodore Barnett\u201d (or whoever the person might be) \u201cinto the museum, tree of charge,\u201d and was signed with Grandfatber Barnett's name.One day Grandfather Barnett said to Teddy's father and mother: \u201cI ass coming over to spend the evening to-night, and 1 tbiak I have found & way UNCLE BENS SHINGLE (Continued) At last he maid, \u201cThat shingle is wy secount book.\u201d \u201cAccount book!\u201d echoed Walter, and several others with him.\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d Thea Unple Ben laughed tha same odd linle laugh and waited as momnnt before answering.\u201cDida\u2019t I hear you say something the other day about hating to gn back to school next week?\u201d he asked al iength.\u201cWhy, yes.\u201d «aid Walter, wondering what that had to do with the matter.\u201cWell,\u201d went on Uncle Ben, sitting on the .aide of the dory, \u201cwhen I was a boy 1 did not like the Idea ot goiug to school.They let me have my own way about i.and I did not go-# | never jearned to read or write or do any figoring.That is why I use a shingle\u2014Iit seems easier for me to handle thau a piece of papar~\u2014 to keep a record of my lobetir ca\u2018chis and my males.I can make straight marks and can manage to count them.Taats à pretty poor way of doing business, isn't #?Of course 1 am ashamed of it, and ft has kept me from getting anywhere in life.Bo don't any of you ever muke the tristake of hating to go to school.I oniy wish I could go with you!\u201d Ope of the girls giggled at the thought of Uncle Ben going to achool: but the others saw that he was speaking with deep feeling, and they were all in a sober mood a£ they went back to their sand forts farther up the beach.\u201cMy, that was a real lecture!\u201d said Mary Wilder.\u201cYes,\u201d agreed Walter Shattack, \u201cbut it was a good one fOr us to hear just before school begins again.No wonder he thinks I was silly to talk about hating school!\u201d The Youth's Companion.TAMING CHIPMUNKS Chipmunks la northern Maine are about as numerous as rats in à corncrib, yet it was not until after we had spent several days In camp that we even caught a tlimpse of one, a Compenion contributor writes.They are shy little creatures and emerge from their holes only with the » of curing Teddy of being afraid he the dark.\u201d Grandfather Barmeit came to dinner that evening as he had promised, and Teddy was delighted.for Grandfather Barnett was the most interesting sort of man you can imagine, he knew so much which a boy likes to hear.After dinner there were as many stories as sven Teddy could wish.and whea grandfather rose to go he said: \u201cTeddy, will you go isto the library and got my gloves for me?1 lett them on the table.\u201d Teddy ram across the hall to obey: but when he looked into the great, dark i> rary he stopped short.To go into that blackness as far as the table in the very centre of the rcom was too much for hic.\u201cWell, my boy,\u201d called grandfather, \u201chave you found my gloves yet?Then as he saw Teddy standing is the doorway of the library.he sald: * Weil, well, well! Bless my soul! What's the matter?Afraid, are you?\" \u201cYe-es,\" said Teddy.\u201cI\u2014i think I'am.\u201d \u201cWhat of?\" asked grandfather.\u201cI-\u2014]\u2014don't know exactly,\u201d said Teddy, \u201cbut there might be\u2014\" \u201cOh, the Might Bes have all gone to another country by this time; but in case there are any in your library, I'll fix it so they will not touch you.\u201d Then grandfather took frem his pocket one of his passes, and with his pencil made a few changes ia th: reading on the card.He scratched out \u201cmuseum,\u201d aad wrote \"library\" iastead, and where it said, \u201ctree of charge.\u201d he wrote, \u201cfree of barm from the Might Bes,\u201d so that the pass read: ; \u201cThis is to let Theodore Barnett into the library free of harm from the Might: Bes.\u201d Signed, \u201cGeorge Flint Barnett\u201d \u201cThere, Teddy,\u201d said he, \u201cnow you take this pass and carry It with you Into the library, and nothing will hurt you.Then you can got my gloves ail right.\u201d Teddy took the pags, and marched straight into the dark ss bravely as ever hs had marched ia the daytime, with never a fear.\u201cThat fixed all the Might Bes, I think,\u201d said he.In this way graadfather filled out pass es letting Teddy into each room in the house, no matter how dark.and Teddy never was afraid at night again, for by the time he was too old to ask for passes he had fcrgetten to be atrald of the dark.Youth's Companion.greatest caution.At the sight of an unfamiliar object or the sound of an um known voice, they disappear like a flash.We wondered at first how the god Siva ever contrived to get close enough to one to stroke his hand over the back, which ever since hag been striped with the marks of Siva's love; but we soon found that this was not incredible.Though it took the chipmunks over a week to become accustomed to our pres ence, thoughts of the coming winter finally made the temptation to get the pes- outs that we threw a few yards from us so great that if we were very quiet a chipmunk would come up cautiously and after suatching up the aut with his teeth would hurry back to his hole.At first, only ons chipmunk ventured near us at a time, but from slight differences in their actions we could tell that it was not always the same one.Later on, as many as five gometimes approached at once.OGradually they came nearer and nearer until at last, when the sound of our voices had come to mean more nuts, they scathpered all over us in search of the treasures hidden in our pockets.We often held a nut three or four feet from the ground just to ses a chipmunk jump up and catch hold of it with his chisel-like teeth.There he would hang until we let go; then he would hasten home with the prize.No matter how much time they spent hunting nuts or playing with us until we let them have their reward, when they once had it they always hurried to ttelr holes and then came back for more, One strange thing about the chipmunks was that they always took the same route, | It one jumped over a stick, or ran the length of a log, or stopped a moment on à stump on one of his trips, he would do exactly the same On every other trip.The routes that tbe different chipmunks took Kelped us more than anything else to identify them.The chipmunks must have fared well the following winter.But, alas! those which had worked hardest to aecure the winter's stores were not left to enjoy the fruits of thelr labor.One morniag we saw a neighbor's cat with one of our chipmanks.We took every precantion to save the others, but ose after anotber, before we were up lu the morning or while we were off our guard, she caught the tameat.The only thing left lv we te do, since we could not get rid of the cat, was to still {oto hose that had not been completely tamed the same fear that they had felt when we came.This we did, much to the disgust of the cat, mo doubt.tor so far as we knew she did not catch another chipmunk while we were there.THE LENGTH OF ANIMAL LIFE Domestic animals seldom attain the age that Nature allows them.We grudge them their nourishment, overtire them, sad do not give them proper shelter.And thea we take from them their milk, fleece, hide, Mesh, In fact everything.How can you ever grow old whem the butcher is waiting for yow at the stable door with his knife?Useless to speak of these poor victims of our need: to give us long life, they do not Ifve out their time.Buppos- (og that an animal is well treated, that it suffers neither hunger nor cold, that it lives in peace without excessive fatigue, without fear of knacker or butcher; um- der theses good coaditioms, bow many years will it live?A dog.at twenty or twenty-five years, car no longer drag himself along; a pig is a tottering veteran at twenty: at fiftecn at the most, a cat no longer chases mice\u2014it says goodbye to the joys of the roof and retires to some corner of à granary to die in peacs; the goat and sheep, ut tea or fifteen, touch extreme old age; the rabbit is at the amd of its skein at eight or ten; and the Miserable rat, it it lives tour years, is looked upon Among its own kind as a prodigy of long: evity.The pigeons may live from sfx to tea years; the guinea fowl, bem, and turkey, twelve.A goose lives longer; it Is true that in its quality of goose it does mot worry.The gooss attalos twenty-five years, and even a good deal more.The goldfinch, sparrow, birds free from care, always singing.always friskjug, happy as possible with & ray of sunlight in the foliage and a grain of hemp-aeod, live as long as the gluttonous goose.and longer than the stupid turkey.These very happy little birds live from twenty to twenty five years.As to may, if he leads a regular Ute, he often lives to eighty or ninety.Sometimes be reaches a hundred or even more.But should he attain only the ordinary age, the Average age.as they say, that is about forty, then he is to be considered a privileged creaturs as to length of life.Aad besides, for man, my dear children, length of Tife {a not measured exactly ac cording to the number of years.He lives most who works most.When God calls us to Him, let us take with us the sincere esteem of others and the consciousness of baving dome our duty to the end; and, whatever our age.we shall have lived long enough.\u2014Jean Henri Fabre, in \u201cThe Story Book of Science\u201d.PE/RLS IN THE COCONUT Interesting work his been done by Dr, Hunger ia Amsterdam on those imterest- ing pearls which actually grow within the coconut in the same way as within the oyster, by the deposit of calcium car bonate on aa irritant nucleus.The pearls only appear ta.grow in nuts which do not germinate, and are known ag \u201cblind\u201d coconuts, and these are so rare that they are regarded as sacred by the Mohammedans and are often preserved for years as family heirlooms.We are not likely to get many pearls from these coconuts, as Dr.Hunger tells us that on one estate three million nuts Bare been opened without findlag a single pearl!

Among all the methods of travel none are 50 unique as a Rocky Mountain Pack Train.Instead of engines and cars we use & number of sure-fouted, hardy mountain ponies.These pônies are called \u201ccayuses\u201d aad are used both as saddle pomies and pack ponies.Trips are made oa tralls through the valleys of the mountains.These tralla have beea built by Government Survey men and are biaged to ahow direction.The three classes of people taking these trips are prospectors.tourists on camplug trips, and hunters after big game guch as mouu- tain sheep.momntain goat, bear and deer.The trails lead along mountain sides where a slip would carry one many hundred feet to the valley below, then through forests where often the pony must jump over fallen timber, again across rivers.the cayuses sometimes swimming and at other times fording, then through grassy valieys which may lead to à summit from which one views the mountain streams flowing In opposite directions.The average distance traveled in a day is trom Afteen to thirty miles for novices.but experienced riders will double this distance.Experienced guides are the only per sons allowed to take parties along these trails, as it is somewhat diulcult to follow a trail or to pick ons up again af- lor being carried half a mile down à \u2018swift stream which the cayuse has bad to swim across.A head guide.a horse wrangier and a cook genersily accompany tae party.A very Interesting sight Is to watch the packers load the cayeses.The packers themesives wear buckskin shirts and woolly or leather chaps such as are seen quite often fm the moving pictures of cowboys.The pony to be packed is tied to a post by mehns of a haiter and rope.A pack saddle specially comstructed for the purpose ls then placed on bis dack.On each side is attached a canvas \u201calfor- jas\u201d in which is carried the grub and the cooking utexsïis.Between theses two pack \u201cbozes.\u201d as they cre commonly called, are placed the biankets, tepees and axon.The whole pack, weigtiing between one and two hundred pounds, is now covered with a tarpaulin and securely fastened in place by means of à long rope tied into a \u201cdiamond hitch.\u201d Some people maintain that hcrses have very little intelligence.They have only to watch a pack pony as the packer tightens the clinches of the pack saddle after the pack is securely fastened on.The cayuse will spread his legs as far as he can and swell out with all the air he can possibly breathe in, thea, after the cinches bave been drswa tight under his belly.ke is

often reported where the individual has passed the plant without coming fu contact with it.This has been explained by the fact that pollen grains, minute hafrs and even exhalations from the plant are suficlent to cause eruptions on the skin of a susceptible person.The poisce may efen be carried om the clothing or tools of someone who has been la con tact with it, pr it may be that, as effect of

it with impunity, but hogs are poisoned by ft.Symptoms of Poisoning Inflammation of the skin begins to ap pear from eighteen hours to several days after contamination, and is characterized by Intense irritation and burning, swelling aad redness, followed by blisters and pain.Symptoms of internal poisoning are burs ing thirst, nauses, faintness, delirium, asd convulsions.Remedy and Means of Control Many remedies have been suggested fo allay this burning and irritation, one of the simplest being the immediate washing of the parts affected with good strong yellow laundry soap.Om return from &

sign.Discussion of \u201csuper-power\u201d led many Yadio listeners to expect impossible re- ults from 50 kil>watt transmission.Many feared to turn up their tubes for fear the unexpectel influx of power would destroy the tubes.Others expected that tbe increased volume would sh: tter thelr sets and cause a bedlam through the loud mpeakers.In reality a tenfold Increase of power from § to 60 kilowatts develop fod approximately three times the signal strength.This is not a marked increase, Because evha a tralned observer would dave difficuity in detecting that a signal 3s any louder in a

super-heterodyne receivers.The oscillator in a superhetero- dyne is utilised simply to produce a beat note with the incoming carrier, and since the difference ia output between an oscil lator in this type of receiver when am average coll or a low loss coil is used, is not sufficient to affect reception, there Is no need to bother about a low loss coil.The oscillator coupler in the best super heterodynes can be a spider web, diamond weave, or single layer solenoid.Glased porcelain cleats such as used to hold open electric light wiring in place make excellent aerial insulators.They are
