is to have about 100 rooms and 50 private baths.1t is to be built in two sections of 50 rooms each, eo that ome section can be run as a winter resort.The hotel is near the railroad and river, and will have about 50 acres of ground.The Vermont library commission reports an increase in the number of towns which are to have public library facilities through acceptance of the state\u2019s offer of free books, so that now there are only 656 towns.Vermont which have no library.Iuasm uch as there are 246 towns in the state, the balance is on the right side The majority of library towns constantly is growing larger.If the efforts of the commissioner are continued, it will not be many years before Vermont can boast of being the banner state of the Union in this respect, or at least on a par with the most progressive states.Windsor May Become Summer Capital.E.8, Smithers of the White House executive office force has been in Windsor looking for a house to be used for the executive offices when President Wilson takes up his summer residence at Harlakenden house in Cornish, N.H.Among the places visited was a residence of Abbott Weston, a large mansion in the center of the town, which was once the home of E.W.Stoughton, former United States minister to Russia.Other homes visited were those of Gilbert F.Davis on State st., conveniently near the post-office, the business sections, and railway and telegraph stations; the Jones home at Buena Vista, on the outskirts of the town; the property of the Windsor Farms Co., about a mile up the Connecticut river.The Taylor farmhouse, near the Windsor Farms Co.property, was examined with regard to its advantages as a possible residence for Secretary Tumulty.The Cornish home of A.E.Lang, of Toledo, Ohio, was looked over asa possible location for the executive officers or for the use of Secretary Tum- ulty.Mr.Smithers was accompanied by a representative of a telegraph company who made plans for wire service for the correspondents who will accompany the President.Educational Progress in Vermont.[Burlington Free Press.) Vermont is plainly enjoying an educational awakening.With two bodies of distinguished men engaged in the task of solving the problem, one taking asurvey of the whole situation while the other is devoting attention in particular to our public schools there can be no question about the Green Mountain state\u2019s position in the front rank of educational progress among the states at this time.The state board of education Has been at work only a few months, and yet the published announcement of the secretary, Representative H.D.Ryder of Bellows Falls, shows that distinct progress has been made.Superintendents of schools must possess far higher qualificatious than formerly were required.They must not only have a college degree or à normal course following a four years\u2019 course in a secondary school but they must also have had two years of actual teaching experience, evidence of knowledge of the history of education and school administration and methods of teaching.Teachers in high schools must also dition to those hitherto held requisite, and other measures have been taken to assure better educational work in Vermont's public schools.That this work is attracting wide- spead attention at home as well as abroad is evidenced by the letters received and the comment of the press.President Wilson.The site is about | | possess particular qualifications in ad- B for a silo, à house, or a million bushel grai elevator, concrete is Sconcaical building material fn use toy.Concrete never requires repairs, and the saving im repair-expense alone makes the greater economy of using concrete more apparent every day.The cost of other building materials is constantly increasing.The cost of concrete is being reduced.ii Canada.Cement which Canadian farmers use, with their own sand, stone and gravel to make concrete, is the only ingrediert you have to buy.We have, by reason of our large output and scientific methods, been able to bring the price of \u201cCanada\u201d Cement so lowethat it is within the reach of everyone.An increase in demand results in a greater economy of production, and when conditions have warranted it, we have, from time to time, shared this saving with the consumer by reduc- If this label i ing the price of Canada Cement.This demand will every bag ie not continue to increase\u2014 as fast as farmers learn of con- Canada Cement, + crete\u2019s superiority over other materials.Whea you buy cement, see that you get \u201cCanada\u201d Cement;

Early spring is the time to get in effective work against the aphis and bark lice of various kinds.These are \u2018safely housed underneath the scales to be found adhering to the bark of fruit trees.An effective way of getting rid of these 18 tv wash the trunk and larger branches with a strong solution of lye or soapsuds.The application must be made before the buds begin to swell, or the trees will be injured by such strong washes.This is the time, too, to apply the remedies for the scab of the apple and curl leaf of the peach.Spray thor oughly with copper sulphate while the wood 1s dormant, using one pound of sulphate to 15 gallons of water for the apple and one pound to 25 gallons for the peach.It is absolutely necessary that these applications be made be- tore there is any swelling of the buds.In the case of the scab, subsequent sprayings with the Bordeaux will be found necessary; the first to be applied after the appearance of the first leaves and before the blossoms open, the second after the blossoms fall.Two or three more applications at intervals of two or three weeks may be necessary.Arsenites for leaf-eat- ing insects and for the apple worm may be applied with the Bordeaux, Going at a fruit tree with saw and ax, hammer-and-tongs fashion, is decidedly wrong.The removal of a large amount of top at any one time throws the top and root system out of balance.Nature seeks to remedy this condition by sending out numerous water sprouts, It is better to remove a small amount of growth each season.The tree will then be able to maintain an even balance between its top and root system, and a large share of the energy that is wasted in the large limbs removed by the former practice will go toward building up a strong, symmetrical top.Stormy days are the times for making up small fruit boxes and crates.If allowed to lle many weeks, however, they lose their fresh appearance, which is not a good thing.Poultry confined to a small area in the orchard will destroy the pupae of the apple maggot.A fruit tree in every fence corner would look better than weeds.Is your orchard full of weeds and other litter, to provide a snug home for mice?Beware of the irresponsible tree agent.Stick to the nursery firms that are known to be honest and have a reputation to sustain.When the professional tree butcher comes along with his saws and hooks | and axes tell him to go.These fellows ruin thousands of trees every year because they are ignorant of the correct principles of pruning.A \u201cdope\u201d made of one part strychnine, one-third of one part borax, one part sirup and ten parts of water will knock out mice and rabbits.Sprinkle it over small sprouts and put them in the runway.Among small fruits there is nothing the equal of the strawberry as a money-getter.Results in yields that would seem to the uninitiated visionary are possible where conditions are at all favorable.It is none the less true, also, that yields from strawberry culture will vary with the seasons in greater extremes than any of the other small fruits.It is not every variety of strawberry that is equally at home on all soils and under every condition.The variety that is best adapted to the soil of my farm may not be the best variety for my neighbor's farm.In this respect the strawberry is a par ticular sort of plant.EXCELLENT METHOD OF MANAGING THE BEES Fine Location for Apiary, as the Trees Protect it From the Sun.Mrs.Lillian Bowman of Neillsville, Wis., gives her method of managing bees in the Metropolitan Farm Jour nal, ad follows: My experience as to earning money fn several different ways impresses me that beekeeping is the least work and gives the best income.Since being married, six years ago, f have tried experiments in several ways, among which are gardening, dairying, raising chickens and keeping bees, all begun on a small scale, be ginning with one cow, a dozen chickens, one swarm of bees, etc.Within four years my bees had increased to over 20 awarme\u2014good, strong col- onles.They will increase faster, if they are allowed.with less clear profit; for each colony, large or small, needs a hive, and, of course, the small colonies will not make much surplus honey, and thus do not pay for their homes.These I rob of their queens and put them with other colonles.Each colony in the spring is worth from $7 to $10, according to the strength and breed.Each will throw out one large swarm which will make on an average 75 pounds of surplus honey, which sells at from 8 to 13 cents a pound, the - expense being about $1.50 for a hive and place to store honey, etc.Now for the ework part: They have to be watched patiently during the swarming season in order to keep the new swarms from going away; then #* ia meacccnase ta go and hive them.TREATING SHEEP SCAB Dip Made of Tobacco or Coal Tar Is Preferred, warm Water Is Better Than Cold, as Former Cuts Grease and Allows 8e- lution to Get to AI! Parts of Animals Skin.Dipping in a reliable dip Is the proper treatment for sheep afllicted with sheep scab.Use a dip made of lime and sulphur, tobacco and sulphur, or one of the coal tar dips.Remove all sediment from the lime and sulphur dip, as it injured the wool, Tobacco dips boiled.For a general dip a tobacco or coal tar preparation 1s to be preferred to lime and sulphur, as a lime and sulphur dip has little effect in destroying the sheep tick or louse.A fresh solution should be used for the second dipping.This is absolutely essential if the lime and sulphur or the tobacco and sulphur are to be used.Mix the dip well in the vat.It is better to use warm water than cold water in dipping sheep, as warm water cuts the grease and allows the dip to get to all parts of the skin of the animal.The correct temperature for a dip is from 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, Sheep can be dipped in the winter it warm days are selected for that purpose.If the sheep are badly afflicted with scab, the thick scabs should be softened previous to the dipping of the sheep by pouring some of the dip on thesé places and rubbing them with some smooth instrument, or the scabs should never be Badly Affected With Scabies, can be softened while the sheep are being dipped, by rubbing the thick scabs with a brush.Care should be taken, however, not to draw blood, as on coagulation it will protect the mite from the dip.Lambs do not need to be dipped for 80 long a time as older sheep, as their wool is short.They are also more delicate In constitution, hence cannot stand the dipping as well as older sheep.Always water sheep before dipping, otherwise they may drink the dip which is sometimes found in little puddles in the dripping pens.Bach sheep should be held in the dlp from two to three minutes, and the head quickly immersed once or twice just before the sheep leaves the vat.A sheep In moderate length of wool and allowed to drip thoroughly after being dipped will carry away from two to three quarts of the dip.A sheep after being shorn will carry away about a quart of the dip.The question should not be, how many sheep can be dipped in a day, but how well can they be dipped.If scabby sheep are taken direct from a pasture and dipped, they should not be returned to that place for a period of 30 days.Heavy rains are sald, however, to disinfect open flelds.If the sheep have been housed in buildings prior to the dipping, these buildings should be disinfected before the sheep are returned to them.Purchase no proprietary dips except those having the approval of your state agricultural department, Use all proprietary dips exactly ac cording to directions.Best Crop Farm.The boys and girls of the farm in terested in farm life and agriculture mean more to the country than profit able crops of wheat, oats and live stock.If the young people are inter ested in farm life it means they will take charge of the work of the farm and become useful and valuable citi zens.They have no desire to move to town and lose themselves in the city.They recognize the beautiful side as well as the profitable side of farm life.Too much attention cannot be givin to the boys and girls.They should be made partners with mother and father, and their every question relative to plant and animal life answered.In this way they will see deeper than the surface, and will take pride in the work they are doing Growing Table Vegetables.Plant several kinds of beans to de termine which succeeds best in your soll.Plant an abundance of beets to al low for greens.Sweet corn planted every two weeks will give a long succession.Start cucumber seeds in the house or a cold frame.To Clean Plumage.The plumage of a white fowl can be cleaned of stain by washing with a clean white or transparent soap that is free from much alkall.Make & strong lather and use your hand and a soft hair brush.Stroke the feathers downwasd fenm tha head to the tail.WORLD OWES DEBT TO WOMAN Fostering of Agriculture Has Been From the Beginning of Time in Female Hands.Agriculture today depends chiefly spon the work of Lhe primeval woman.We are indebted to the nomud's wife for the greatest of all economic Berv- ices.B8he tamed the young of the tiore tamable animals, gave them to her savage husband, and made of him the more civil herdsman who for ages followed his flocks after the manner of Jacob and Lot and Job.This fertile wife of the nomad became the wife of farmers, and she made a farmer of her son by placing in his hand the precious seed of the grains, the present basis ef agriculture, the bread of man, and the concentrated food of all our domestic animals.Where did this ancient mother get these precious seeds?In many cases we do not know, and cannot even guess.She found some plant with one or two rich seeds, planted them, and then generation after generation her descendants picked over their iit- tle grain patches, selecting seeds to be preciously preserved from the harvest festival to the next spring plantiwg festival, which we now call Easter.By this process running on through unknown generations of men, the plants became so changed by the artificial application of Darwin's law of selection that now no botanist dares suggest what plant or plants were the wild forebears of some of the present grains from which the world today obtains its bread.We are indebted to this cave or tent dwelllng woman.But shall we accept her work as final?Can science do no better than follow along the path she laid out?The fact that agricultural science is today doing little more than this fs one of the pathetic illustrations of the smallness of our view.\u2014Prof.J.Russell Smith, in Harper's Magazine.IN HOUSES OF CORNSTALK Primitive Dwelling Places That Are .Occupied by the Poorest Class of .Egyptian Peasants, On the outskirts of Alexandria we passed numerous groups of Bedouins, camping by the side of the Mahmou- dieh canal.Out in the fields men and women, dressed alike in the loose cotton gown of the country, were busily at work.The fields were dotted with curious doorless structures made of cornstalks.They are used as temporary homes at certain seasons of the year, as, for instance, when the crops are being gathered.Later on I entered one, and found it to be not more than five feet square; one could not stand upright inside.The place contained nothing but a few jars and cooking utensils.In the winter the occupants wrap themselves up in their clothes at night, covering the heads also, but leaving the feet bare.The hut I saw was occupied by a man and his son.These people, of course, are the fel- laheen\u2014the peasants\u2014the pure Egyptian of the poorest class.\u2014Christian Hereald.13,000 Miles of Silver.The greatest

expert money counters in the world\u2014will work at the task day and night, but it will take them sixty days to finish it.There are 156,708,960 silver dollars alone in this vast sum.Much of the coin counting is done by weighing, but there is an ingenious machine which digests silver dollars, quarters and halves and counts them as fast as a man can turn the handle.If the silver dollars were stacked one on top of another, they would tower 835 miles high.If they could be laid in a continuous line, each touching the other, the silver horde would stretch out for a distance of 13,000 miles

GOOD ROADS SUGGESTION.Considerable publicity ie being given to the suggestion of a \u2018\u2018good roads day\u201d for the Eastern Townships, which, according to the Sherbrooke Record, wae originally made by a \u2018prominent farmer.\u2019 It is proposed to fix a date, early in May, when the proprietors in every road division in the Townships will turn out for one day\u2019s repair work on the roads.The pricipal argument advanced in favor of the scheme is that the regular road work canaot be undertaken go early in the year, and, as a matter of fact, is not usually begun until well along in June.The plan suggested is a good one\u2014if all proprietors will cooperate.But not all of the farmers in this section have yet become reconciled to the \u2018\u2018money tax.\u201d\u201d There has been much complaint of inefficiency.Some taxpayers claim that their money bas not been wisely spent, and others have hinted st \u2018\u2018graft.\u201d\u201d The statement has frequently been made that the roads are now in worse condition than they were under the old system of statutory labor.The \u2018prominent farmer\u2019s\u2019\u2019 suggestion is, in a way, a reversion to the system which has been discarded by most municipalities which count themselves progressive.It will, we fear, be considered as an evidence of the failure of the \u201cmoney tax\u201d system at the vital moment.Itis \u2018\u2018up to\u2019 the exponents of that system to prove ite superiority at all times.Why not start the regular road work early in May?Delay is mostly a matter of habit.It is only natural to expect that the average farmer, if asked to turn out and fix the roads at the vital moment will object to paying for \u2018\u2018machine\u201d work later on.\u201cCOVER UP THE WELL.\" This brief extract is taken from \u2018John Barleycorn,\u201d Jack London's powerful \u201c\u2018\u2018etory,\u2019\u2019 in the Saturday Evening Post.\u2018One who has been burned by fire, must preach about the fire.I was only a human boy, taking the path in the world that men-\u2014-took men whom I admired; big strong men.And the way was open.It was like an uncovered well in a yard where children play.It is of small use to tell the brave little boys toddling their way along into knowledge of life that they must not play near ahe uncovered well, They will play near it.Any parents know that a certain percentage of them, the livest and most daring, will fall into the well.The thing to do\u2014we all know it\u2014is to cover up the well.The case is the same with John Bar- leycorn.All the no-saying and no- preaching in the world will fail, in the main, to keep men and boys, growing to manhood, away from John Barley- corn when John Barleycorn is everywhere accessible, and tempting.The only rational thing for the twentieth century folks to do is to cover up the well; to leave to past centuries all barbarisms, not least among them\u2014 John Barleycorn.\u201d The \u201cstory\u201d tells of the adventures of u young man, and how he fell into drinking ways.It shows up the evil thereof most truly and painfully.ene : dE SE Se wt us ; ; À vi St ; 3 THEI.se x 3 pus CCE LS F 34 A ol 5 a = =

pastor of the Firet Universalist Church, Derby Line, washeld Thursday evening, April 17, at the Oharch.An organ prelude by Mrs.B.F.Bat- terfleld was followed by invocation and scriptural reading by Rev.T.A.Halpenney of the Centenary Methodist Church.The sermon of the occasion was by Rev.Benjamin F.Butler of tbe Universaliet Church, St.Johnsbury, Vt.This address was based upon a clause from the 28th verse of the 2ud chapter of Joel: \u201cYour old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.\u201d It was an interesting and belpful presentation of the \u2018\u2018New church,\u2019 as the speaker termed the church of the present and future.All accomplishment in any field of endeaver must be preceded by dreams and the seeing of visions.Through these mediums come the apprehension of all leaders of thought and work.The visionless life must necessarily be resuitless.The speaker found conclusive proof of his contention in the lives of many historical figures, of whom Jesus was chief.There was an entire absence of doctrinal discussion or claim.The address was a strong appeal to the meh and women of the church to coôperate with their young pastor in an uplifting work in the community.This was the epeaker\u2019s definition of the mission of the militant church of Christ.The prayer of installation was by Mr.Buuler.The address to the parish and welcome to fellowship was by Rev.E.E.Marggraf of North.Hatley.The speaker\u2019s definition of the preacher as a teacher and his claim that the pastor went in and out before his people and communityas a teacher of morality and truth was fresh and stable.Mr.Marggraf\u2019s was a very practical talk.That portion of it in which he welcomed Mr.Miller to the two Universalist association was pregnant with gocd will and helpfulness.Owing to the absence of Rev.H.F.Hallett, pastor of the Congregational Church, Gen.Butter- fleld gave the address of welcome from the community to Mr.Miller.This address aroused the pride of resident hearers as the speaker referred to some non-resident estimates of the pull-to-gether spirit in the villages.The musical program was most excellent.Mies Foss sang asolo and the choir an anthem, Mrs.Butterfleld presiding at the organ.The whole service was one of uplift and a promoter of neighborliness and coôper- ation.It muet have been a source of encouragement to the new pastor.UNIVERSALIST NOTES.Sabbath worship at 10.45 a.m.Sermon, \u201cA brief Survey of Universal- ism.\u201d The pastor has found considerable demand for a series of sermons on our history and belief.Other topics will be John Murray, Hosea Ballou, The Divinity of Christ, Universalist Beliet Concerning Hell and Lost Souls and A.General Statement of Our Dectrine.The Junior Circle will meet with Mrs.Eugeue Laythe next Wednesday.The pastor wishes to take this opportunity to thank the choir and those who aesisted so kindly at the installation service.Sunday school at noon, THE U.S, TARIFF.Bradstreet\u2019s, Toronto, April 23 eays: \u201cCanada touches the United States for three thousand miles.The proposed tariff reform in the United States affects this country as it does uo other.Every phase of trade is interested.The lumber and pulp industries of Canada will no doubt benefit because, while we have untold wealth of pulp wood and timber forests, United States ia sorely wanling.Live stock, produce and diary farmers in .Canada will prosper by the proposed reduction of duty, as a wider, higher market is being opened to them.Canadian wheat growers will not be affected materially, but barley producers will find a profitable market which they have uot had recently.Canadian cheese and butter manufacturers will rather suffer by the reduction clause, as our limited production of milk and cream will go free into the United States, that is to foreign manufacturers.\u201d Under reciprocity the Canadian butter and cheese makers would have shared in the general prosperity, as their \u2018finished product\u201d as well as the \u2018raw material\u2019 would have been admitted to the markets of the United States, duty free.It is stated that the construction \u2018programme of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Western Canada thie year will amount to 850,000.This includes the tunnel at Rogers Pass, much dou- \u2018ble-tracking, terminals at various pointe, many large bridges, and irrigation work.Que hundred executiona are reported to have followed an unsuccessful attempt to nesaesinate General Li Yuen- Heng, Vice-President of the Chinese Republic.y Hastern Townships College of Musio Students\u2019 Recital.The recital given by the students at the Eastern Townships Oollege of Music, on Friday evening, April 18th, was certalnly worth hearing.The citizens were conspicuous by thelr absence, which we believe was a mistake.The enterprises and endeavors are of vital importance to the life of our community.Our citizens should be ever loyal in their support of these institutions.The programe presented was par- ticulary interesting as an educational demonstration of the work being done by the College of Music; and its arrangement, as well as the aelection of numbers, rendered it of genuine interest from beginning to end.The opening number, Encore, by de Saxy, was performed by the orchestra with precision and finish.\u201cO, for a Breath of the Morelands,\u201d by Whelpley, received a most creditable interpretation by Frank Hallett.This young man bas responded well to instruction.Frances Mack read \u201cUnexpected Guests\u2019 with ease and naturalness.Mendelssohn\u2019s \u2018\u2018Rondo Capriccioso,\u2019 received a very full and careful interpretation by Bernice Elliot.The violin solo, \u201cPerpetual Motion,\u201d by Bohm, was reudered by Gladys Howard with good spirit and careful bowing, Gladys Swanson has a clear, true soprano voice, and sang Harley's \u201cSweetest Flower that Blows\u201d and Bishop\u2019s \u201cLove has Eyes\u2019 in a very commendable manner, Her intonation was true, and she manifested very careful and efficient training.Dorothy Flint\u2019s reading of Barrett\u2019s \u201cThe Sign of the Cross?\u2019 was very effective.There was no doubt of her personal belief in the spirit of the number.Possibly it was too heavy work for an amateur.One of the particularly fine numbers of the evening was Brahm\u2019s Rhapsodie Op.79, No.1, performed by Carroll Brainerd.This young man has a pleasing manner at the piano, giving the impression of much reserve power.Oue feels that he bas undertaken notaing beyond his ability.There is soul in his interpretation, and delicacy of technique that is delightful.Two charming numbers\u2014(a) \u2018\u2018Salunt d'Amour,\u201d by Edgar, and (b) \u201cRezeda,\u2019\u201d by Friml, were exceptionally well played by Miss Beatrice Webb.She is to complete her course in violin this year, and we have watched with pleasure and satisfaction hor devel- opmentin the art of music during the past five years.Fred Montle sang better than ever.The lower notes in the Armourer\u2019s Song were a bit beyond his rigister.His singing of the \u201cBanjo Song,\u201d by Homer, was cleverly done.Marguerite Holding\u2019s reading, \u201cThe Hazing of Valiant,\u201d was splendidly done, and was a credit to herself and teacher.The final Chorus, \u201cThe Soldiers\u2019 Chorus,\u201d from Faust, brought the programme to a close.It was sung epiritedly, and the ensemble was good.YOUR SUMMER VACATION.A most interesting and well printed publication hae just been issued by the Grand Trunk Railway System, dealing with the attractions ot the well- known Algonquin National Park of Ontario, and copies may be had from any of their City Ticket Offices.The territory dealt with is a thoroughly universal vacation one, combining bigh altitude (2000 ft.), pure air, unspoiled forest, beautiful lakes, splendid fishing, much wild game, hotel or camp life, in close touch with civilization or entriely apart from it and eatisfying alike to novice and veteran.Included in this publication is a description of the \u201cNominigan Camp\u201d situated on Smoke Lake, the centre of one of the finest fishing grounds in Canada, and which will be open for the first time this year with accommodation for 60 people.This idea of a log cabin camp is an innovation in Canada, but one that has become most popular and attractive to a large number of summer playgrounds seekers in the Rangeley Lakes, Maine.Good hotel accommodation is offered at the \u201cHighland Inn\u201d and the rates are most reasonable.The publication is well written and the map that accompanies same gives one a good idea of the 2.500,000 acres that are found within the Park Baunda ries.Taft to Speek at Montreal.Former President Taft has accepted an invitation to read a paper on a sub- jeot to be announced later at the annual meeting of the American bar association at Montreal

Near the larger cities it would prob- tbly be better to grow some of the more perishable truck crops and to keep one horse for marketing pur | poses, but in most country places the system as outlined here would be more satisfactory and would require only two horses.In addition to four cows and two horses the owner of such a farm could keep one or two brood sows and fifty hens.Assuming that the farmer under stands his business and is on a soll and in a region adapted to the type of farming here outlined, it ought to be possible on such a farm to secure an income somewhat as follows: The five acres of potatoes ought to produce five hundred bushels at least, and If the man is a good potato grower the fleld can be made to average more than two hundred bushels.One ought to average at least fifty cents a bushel for the potatoes.This would make $250 for this field.The three acres of cabbage ought to pro duce $300, and the two acres of onions ought to produce $300.The onions require a good deal more work than the other crops, hence, the smaller acreage of them.After the farm is started the farmer must be guided by his experience, and it might prove wise to put the entire five acres in onjons, provided labor is available.If the four cows kept are good ones \u2014and the farmer is not justified in keeping any other kind\u2014one of them ought to furnish dairy produce for the family, and the other three, if properly managed, ought to produce sev- enty-flve dollars worth of dairy products aplece a year, making two hundred and twenty-five dollars income from the dairy.It ought to be possible to produce twelve pigs to sell at an average price of fifteen dollars each, making one POISONS FOUND IN SOME PLANTS Bundles of Oxalate Crystals Are Offensive to Rabbits and Snails.By MYRLE IRONS.) The part played by the powerful chemical substances secreted in the various parts of many plants is 1m- perfectly understood.Free prussic acid in some plants was the remarkable discovery made not long ago, and now Professor Peche has con cluded that in the cherry laurel this poison is stored in various tissues as a reserve plant food.Other German biologists have been seeking to prove that various plant poisons give protection against enemies.Results have been obtained by.Prof.W.Pey- er tending to show that the various acids, oils, alkaloids, glucosides, and other chemicals of plants are poisonous or offensive to rabbits, snails, fnsects, and other creatures.In the pastures the plants yielding medicinal oils are avoided by both grazing and wild animals.The acid bearing plants such as are used for human food as palads, are poisonous to enalls and slugs, and are protected nearly as effectually against rabbits.Beans, peas and lentils contain some unknown poison that causes rabbits and mice to refuse the seeds until thp active principle has been removed by several washings.An acid product of seedling roots\u2014such as maize, oats and rye\u2014repels snails, as do halry stalks and sticky surfaces, and plants having bundles of calcium oxalate crystals are offensive or poisonous not only to rabbits and snails but even to man.Important industry.Few people realize how many thousands of people are engaged in the raising of pigeons, both for the market and the show room.It is an impor tant branch of the poultry industry, and is becoming more and more popular each year.Profit In Pork.While pork can sometimes be made at a profit when corn is supplemented with nothing but a concentrated teed, still it 1s not wise to use concentrated supplements alone.Profitable Crops.When clover can be grown at all, profitable crops can be grown, and the land kept up by clover and lime.Milk flow may be kept up during dry seasons when pastures fail by the use of crops such as sorghum, millet, rye and other crops of this nature sown at short Intervals earlier In the season.hundred and eighty dollars from this source.The fifty hens ought to produce what eggs and poultry the farmer needs and furnish fifty dollars worth of material for sale.Adding these sums together gives us one thousand three hundred and five dollars as a possible income from such a system of farming.From this income all the expenses of running the farm and of the family living must be paid; but with half an acre of garden, an acre and a half of orchard, and with all the potatoes, cabbage and onions the family can consume, with hogs for meat, and with the eggs and poultry the family living ought not to cost more than two or three hundred dollars for things bought.The city man must not get the idea that he can start in a system of this kind without experience and make a success of it from the start.It will mean a lot of very hard work, hard living and hard study for two or three years, and of these three things study is the most important.On the other hand, the man who thoroughly understands his business can increase the income here estimated very materially.One other very important consider ation in connection with a farm of this kind: It is assumed that it is near enough to a town or city to permit the farmer when he is carrying his potatoes, cabbage and onions to market, to bring back with him on each trip a load of manure for use on the farm.Where this can be done such a farm could be made highly fertile.The places to put manure In such a sys tem would be just after the potatoes, just before either of the corn crops, and in the fall of the year manure could be put on the clover fleld which was used for pasture during the sum: mer.This fleld should then be plowed late in the fall in preparation for po tatoes the next year.(Copyright, 1913, by C.M.Shultz.) STRANGE FACTS ABOUT FLOWERS Every Single Plant Has Some Pe- culiarity\u2014Some of Them Can Be Seen.Violets open at three or four a.m., closing about eleven or twelve; some wild roses about four and five a.m.; night shade, about six in the morning; butteroups and lilles are open by seven a.m.Early openers close at noon.Among others, the evening moth flowers open about six p.m.Cactus grandifiora begins opening at nine or ten in the evening, closing at midnight.The majority of flowers, however, are open from nine in the morning until six in the evening.Wheat flowers last only about fifteen or twenty minutes\u2014just long enough for their pollen to be carried by the passing wind\u2014then their day is past.The hibiscus and calandrinla remain open for only three or four hours; but foxgloves last six days and some orchids from thirty to eighty days.Bvery single flower we look at has some little peculiarity of its own.Some of them we can see, but not under stand, even by thorough examination.There are orchids which throw their insect visitors into a shower bath of water, so they have to get out, by reason of their wet wings, up a certain path, where they touch the pollen masses and stigma.There are other orchids which throw the pollen masses at the insect.The yucca is a lfly-like plant, resembling the aloe, and a particular sort of moth lives wholly upon it.When the flower opens, this moth proceeds to knead up a ball of pollen and inside places an egg, thon thrusts the ball down into the ovary of the flower.There a grub develops from the egg and eats the pollen, and some of the pollen fertilizes the young seed.If yuccas died out the moth would be exterminated, and if the moths were destroyed no yuccas would ever set their seed.(Copyright, 1913, by C.M.Shultz.)

Mexico, \u2014 1 It was at Pachuca, Mexico, that.the patio system of separating silver had its origin.This system is still -foi- lowed extensively at the silver mines throughout Mexico.The ore is crushed and worked down to a state of puddle.It is then spread out to a depth df two or three feet over the paved floor of the courtyard, or patio.To this mass sulphate of copper is added in powder, about fifteen pounds of sulphate to three thousand pounds of puddle.This Is trodden into the puddle by horses.Several gangs of old, worn-out horses or mules, about twelve in a gang, are seen in various parts of the patio, being driven round in circles to tread in the sulphate.On the next day six per cent.of common salt is added and in two more days one hundred per cent.of pure quicksilver, or as much as the assay of the ore shows is required.This mass is then trodden up by horses for fifteen days.It is then wheeled to a large tank through which passes a rapid stream of water.This washes away the clay, leaving the silver and quicksilver, This residuum is poured into cone-shaped canves bags through which most of the quicksilver runs out, and what remains with the silver is passed off with the vapor by means of heated retorts.None of the quicksilver is lost, and even the vapor is brought by cold water to its original state and used again and again.The horses and the mules, but the Mexicans themselves do not seem to be much the worse for it even though they wade around in the puddle for days at a time \u2014Harper's Weekly.Can't Beat the Smokers.Local tailors are receiving orders from their customers that at least one asbestos pocket be placed in every suit and every overcoat they make, as a result of the new \u201cno smoking\u201d rule of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company.A widely known Walnut street tailor placed a large order for asbestos today, and when asked if he had been employed to make an asbestos suit he explained: \u201cWhy, some of my customers are bringing back their overcoats to have the asbestos pocket fixed.They want the pocket as a saving in cigar bills.\u201cThere i8 no danger to the clothes, as there is a little flap on the asbestos pocket that makes it partially airtight, and the cigar, without air, goes out almost as soon as it is placed in the pocket.It smokes very little, and there is no danger that the conductor will attempt to put off the passenger with the asbestos pocket.\u201d The tailor said he got the idea of the asbestos pocket from a wealthy business man who pays 50 cents | aplece for his cigars, and objects to throwing away 45 cents\u2019 worth be- | cause the traction company says he must \u2014Philadelphia Correspondence ; New York Tribune.| } Apple Tree Holds Record.An apple tree growing in the Walla

assured, from a single tree known anywhere In the world.This tree bore 70 boxes in 1906, 42 boxes in 1908 and 45 boxes in 1909.More than 500 bar- | rels of fruit have been picked from - it since it came into bearing in the, spring of 1871.The tree was grown without irrigation from a seedling planted in 1866.It is forty-two feet in height and its branches spread fifty-seven feet from ! = tip to

Equipment.Berlin\u2014Our European guide books are of little help if we wish to study the pulsating life of a modern city.There is in this respect hardly any difference between the English Mur ray, the French Joanne or the Bae deker made in Germany.They wish to give us a full list of the old estab lished, hallmarked sights to which frequent allusions may be found In classical literature or modern fiction, but omit to take notice of the latest actualities.We are still directed by them .to the Friedrichstrasse as the center of Berlin life.Such it was more than twenty years ago.As late as ten years ago the whirlpool of modern life was to be found at the Potsdamer plats, comparable to Plc: cadilly Circus in London.Nowadays it has shifted farther west to the long and broad avenue called Kur furstendamm, says a Berlin corre spondent.There we are in the \u201cNew West,\u201d the up-to-date part of the most modern of all European cities.Modern is also the accommodation the visitor may now find there.The \u201cBoarding Place\u201d that has just been opened is neither a hotel of the ao customed style nor a boarding house, but something between the two.If you ask for a room, a plan is handed to you, from which you see what ac commodation there is, with prices inserted.If you want lodging for a week, a fortnight, a month, a year, the scale goes considerably down in proportion to the length of your stay.But with your furnished room you get also the comfort of dining rooms, an elegant cafe, a first-class restaurant of the German beer garden style, and all those conveniences of tn American hotel for reading, writing and passing the time.It is a big building, containing 500 bedrooms, besides the lavishly spacious suites for general use and the halls for festivities.It is astonishing how quickly fash- lonable society has moved into these quarters.Already now these outskirts of the city have developed a life of their own.Kurfurstendamm 1s now for Berlin life what the Fosse is Front of Imperial Palace at Berlin for Vienna or the \u201cStroeg\u201d between Kongens to Nytorv for Copenhagen, the promenade of the stylish part of the population.Here we find also that bohbmian element and a great deal of that extravagance of high life for which Paris is famous.Of course the shops followed their best customers.ENGLISHMAN AS A PROPHET Bends Sealed Parchment to

Expectant Mothers The experience of Motherhood is a trying one to most women and marks dis- \u201ctinetly an epoch in their lives.Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to properly care for herself.Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover.Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results, There is nothing more charming than & happy and healthy mother of children, .and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty.The unexplainable thing is-that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial, Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019sV e Compound, a most valuable tonic and invig- orator of the female organism.In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E.Pirik- ham\u2019s Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.: 8 Ü - If you want special advice write to Lydia E.Pinkham Medicine Co.(confle dential) Lynn, Mass.Your letter

New England 208 Years Ago.Flret Settler of Canton Astonished the Natives by Putting a Second Story Upon the Dweiling\u2014Structure le Still Standing.: Canton \u2014The Fenno house, on Farm street, Canton, is one of the venerable old dwelling houges of New England whose age is fully authenticated by documentary evidence as well as by family tradition.This rather small structure, two stories in height, painted red, and upon whose sides are still the original clapboards of 1704, was bullt 208 years ago by that John Fenno who was the original Stough- ton, now Canton, settler of that name.It was John Fenno\u2019s father, also John Fenno, who was a resident of Old Dorchester, who purchased the Roger Clapp farm in 1694.This original Clapp property, which was a part of the lands of the Ponkapoag tribe of Indians, contained 500 acres, and John Fenno bought the whole area for 100 pounds, or at the rate of five acres per pound.Upon this land, before a road of any description ren alongside of it or through it, the second John Fen- no built this 1704 house, and he astonished the natives by putting a second story, a then unheard of luxury, to his new home.In this house there were born nine children who, with the wife and mother, who was Rachel Newcomb of Braintree, constituted the original family which lived on the premises.This second John Fenno died in 1711, and he was succeeded by Isaac, hia son, who was born\u2014 in the same old house\u2014in 1699.Isaac Fenno was twice married.His first wife was Hannah Puffer, who in 1731, died at the age of twenty-one and left a son and a daughter, Elizabeth \u2014Mrs.Matthew Buck\u2014and a junior Isaac.The second wife was Mary Niles of Canton, and she became the mother of three daughters.The son, [saae, by the first wife, married Mary Davenport of Canton in 1754, and he made his home in the same old house, with his father, the first Isaac.But young Isaac was killed by falling from \u201ca steeple of a meeting house\u201d in October, 1762.Two sons were the fruits of this marriage of Isaac, the younger, with Mary Davenport, and both of them, Enoch and Elijah, be came Revolutionary soldiers.Elijah was the son of a soldier veteran who maintained the family line in the old red bouse, for Elifah and his wife, Abigail Smith, became the parents of five children who were all doubtless Fenno Cradie of Five Generations.rocked to sleep in the same old ancestral cradle which is still a part of the original furniture of the place.Among the flve children of Elijah Fenno was Jesse, who was born in 1785.But Jesse, when he reached man's estate, while he chose to remain on the family farm, built for himself a new house in 1810, near the old red homestead, and which is today the abode of the descendants in thre seventh generation of the orig- (nal 1704 John Fenno.So far as known this 1704 house has not been regularly tenanted, at least by the Fennos, for a great many years.Altogether this old 1704 family shelter is an interesting house for the inspection of antiquarians and all other persons whose attention might be attracted by the venerable landmark.HAS BIGGEST SEISMOGRAPH United States Installs a Delicately Adjusted Instrument at New York Museum.New York\u2014The largest and most felicately adjusted selsmograph in the United States has just been installed In the museum of natural history here.The instrument was made un Germany and presented to the New York Academy of Science by îts pres- {dent, Emerson McMillan.The needle ls so sensitive that blasting operations in some parts of New York city have affected it in marked fashion, while one interesting series of undulations is believed to have been caused by sea waves striking on the rocky coast of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.Even a heavy windstorm some times produces a slight variation in the needle's course.Potatoes Would Soar.Chicago.~\u2014S8hould the railroads be permitted to advance their rates the

Employed by Reynard in Making Successful Hocapes From the Hounds.The reputation of a north of England pack was suffering, and the huntsmen were baffled over and over again by a certain fox, which they always lost at exactly the same spet.He gave them a grand run to the side of the wood, and then disappeared, leaving no clew as to where he had holed.At last the head huntsman hid himself before the meet at this particular place.As usual, Reynard worked off his old trick, and this is how he did it.By the side of the wood ran a rail fence, and he coolly mounted it, walked along the top for a short distance, jumped upon a large tree which was hollow half-way up, and, creeping in side, was safe.The hounds, of course, lost the scent when he left the ground.As in this case, the two following {nstances were watched, and the fox tried his best move once too often.Number one was always lost just on the top of a hill, and it was proved that he did not descend the other side.On the hilltop there was a hol iow, and he would run, with the tounds not far off, up the bank, and then quietly lay himself flat down in the bottom of this hollow.Right over him ran the hounds and galloped the horses.When they pulled up over the crest the scent was finished.After they had all passed him, foxy simply crept out and went back on his old track! \u2018 The other one used to trick the hounds at the top of a steep precipice, with a face of rock over which no hound would go\u2014but Reynard did.He stretched out his legs and slid down the rock with his face to it, as a man would, until his hind legs rested on a narrow ledge.He let himself down carefully, walked along the ledge and entered a crevice at the end.From this place he apparently had no way of escape, for the rock was too steep to negotiate in either direction.It was found, however, that he had a back door on the side of the hill\u2014a tunnel running between the two openings.Had he entered the hole on the hillside he would have been caught, but his front door was safe, because no one could see it from the top of the precipice.\u2014Exchange.China Is Now Awake.A water plant that has been feared as a pest 18 to be turned into a valuable commercial product of Indo- China, if anything comes of the suggestion to the Saigon Chamber of Commerce by M.Perrot, the French investigator.The plant, Ecchornls crag sipes\u2014popularly known as Lue Bink \u2014invaded Cambodia ten years ago from Java or the Philippines, and has grown so rapidly as to fill ponds and lakes in a short time.A single stalk {8 reported to have spread over à wa ter surface of 700 square yards in a few months.It has caused no little alarm as a menace to navigation, and a considerable sum seems to have been already expended in attempts to destroy it.Its strong fiber, however, has been found by M.Perrot to be useful for textile purposes.From 100 pounds of green stalks he obtained nine pouads of fiber, and a fifth-inch yarn or cord from this supported a weight of 100 pounds.The cord can be woven into matting or canvas.This can be dyed any color, and is suitable as a substitute for woven cane in furniture, but is expected to be especially valuable for rice sacks.Such sacks, equal to jute, can bd made lighter than jute by treating with chrome alum.Wilheim's Idea vof Golf, The German emperor's knowledge of golf is by no means extensive.His generosity, however, made kim lend a ready ear to the request of Sir Frank Lascelles for a grant of land for the purpose of a golf course.\u201cSo you want ground for your golf club, sir Frank?\u201d he said, \u201cWe haven't got nice grass meadows round Berlin like you have in England, but I'll give you a bit of the Grunewald.\u201d Now, the grunewald is a pine forest near the capital, and a favorite Sunday resort of the people of Berlin.The ambassador thought it out for a moment, and then answered, somewhat doubttully: \u201cAh, sire, I am afraid there would be too many trees.\u201d \u201cTrees!\u201d exclaimed his majesty.\u201cAll the better to keep the sun off when you are playing in the summer.\u201d

case.The judge, thoroughly exasperated at the delay, said: \u201cI discharge this jury.\u201d One sensitive juror, indignant at what he considered a rebtke, faced the judge., \u201cYou can't discharge me,\u201d he said with a tone of conviction, \u201cAnd why not?\u201d inquired the judge in surprise.\u201cBecause,\u201d announced the juror, pointing to the lawyer for the defense, \u201cI was hired

WINDOW.Skull Crushed, Deaths Instentansons\u2014 Melancholia she Cause.Last week THE JOURNAL made brief reference to the death of Samuel A.Oôllleson of West Somerville, Mass., an old-time resident of this place.The tragic circumstances of his end are told in the following extract from Boston Herald-Traveler of April 16th: \u201cSamuel A.Collieson, 53 years old, of West Somerville, a member of the West Somerville Congregational Ohuroh, committed suicide at 10 À.M.today by diving from the second story window of his home at 46 Wallace street, West Somerville.He was killed instantly his skull being crushed.\u201cA sudden and overpowering attack of melancholia is believed to have been responsible for the act, since Mr.Ool- lieson had been suffering from a nervous breakdown for several months and had been under the care of his family physician.Dr.H.P.Makech- nie of West Somerville.\u201cMrs.Collieson was at home at the time of the accident and is prostrated.\u201cDr.Makechnie reported that he had called on Mr.Collieson early this morning, about two hours before the fatal act, and found him in fairly good epirite.Mr.Collieson talked to the physician about a trip he was planning to take to Bermuda next week with bis brother, Clarence E.Collieson.\u201cMr.Collleson was born in Derby Line, Vt., and moved to West Somer- ville in 1880.He and his brother were engaged in the leather business, with offices at 24 Union street, Boston.He is survived by his wife and one married son, Arthur 8.Oollieson, 23, of 48 Wallace street, West Somerville.\u201d ITEMS OF

starving man,\u2019 says Bradstreet\u2019s.\u2018Yet this amount will be released shortly after the opening of navigation, when some 30,000,000 bushels of grain will come east, most of it destined for Europe.The banks are carrying this, and as they will be paid, that much money will be available for other enterprises.\u201d The street railway strike in Buffalo, which completely paralized the car service for eixdays and caused great loss of business, was ended through the mediation of Mayor Fuhrmann.The company and the men agreed to negotiate over the question of wages and hours and, if they could not reach a settlement, to let a board of three | arbitrators decide.Violent disturbances occurred during the strike and the troops were called out, Montreal reports to Bradstreet\u2019s say that the effect of tight money and the consequent poor settlements are being felt by the wholesale trade.Roads have been unusually bad and orders trom travelers have not been the best.Warm dry weather and the opening of navigation are looked forward to as bringers of expansion to trade.The latter will release money that is tied up in grain and merchandise.Money has not eased yet, and urgent demand persite for commercial purposes.To the Residents of Rock Island: The early approach of warmer weath- or brings to mind the need of vigilance in des)ing with sanitary matters.It every individaul will

at least 1,000,000 have or have had tuberculosis; about 1,000,000 have spinal curvature; about 5,000,000 have defective vision; about 6,000,000 are suffering from malnutrition; over 6,000,000 have enlarged tonsils, adenofs, or enlarged cervical glands;
