about completed the new sawmill which replaces the one burned.It is a resolute looking structure, containing at least 100,000 feet of demen- sion.There are three stories and the roof Is covered with steel.The foundation is concrete, with ample footings.The water power is in one unit, a 28- inch turbine wheel under about 25 ft.head, with ample water, developing about 80 h.p.The plant will be in operation in about ten daye.Such a power development is of interest because it has for a mill pond or reservoir the whole of Baldwin\u2019s Pond.Just above the dam is a pond of a few acres end a narrow inlet from it leads to the main body, which is on the same level.It is an ideal scheme for the storage of logs.A good quantity of logs were in boom ready for the alip; they are all spruce, of good size and excellent quality.In these dayf of \u201cscrub stock,\u201d the showing looked good, and best of all, bundreds of acres of such timber could be seen on the shores of the pond.While there must be large returns in store for the owner, if is certainly a fortunate thing for these growing villages that this good spruce is avail able for building purposes.Mr.Baldwin gave the visitors cordial welcome, saying he had worked early and late since the fire in order that he might be ready for the growing needs of this community.* > TOWN TOPICS.Miss Maria Garceau is entertaining

at her home on Railroad Street shortly after noon yesterday.She was somewhat indisposed Tuesday night and remained uncomfortable Wednesday, although attending to her household duties until shortly after the noon hour when she suddenly succumbed.Mr.and Mrs.Fuller were in the dining-room at the time.They were on opposite sides of the table.Mra.Fuller had been standing; she placed her hands on the table, and gave expression to the simple words: \u201cI feel faint.\u201d Mr.Fuller rushed to her support.Dr.Ross was hastily called by 'phone\u2014 but it was all over in a moment.The late Mrs.Fuller was 73 years of age.Her maiden name was Lavina Ellen Matthews, and she came to this place from Lincolnville, Me., with her husband fifty-five years ago.She wasa kindly woman and will be much missed.Besides her husband she leaves two sons and two daughters, George E.and Roy A.of Montreal, Mary (Mrs.F.T.Caswell) of Derby Line and Myrtle (Mrs.Edward James) of New York.The funeral will take plone at the home tomorrow at 3 James A.Gilmore, mayor; Councilors Clark, Jenkins, Ball and Melloon; Messrs.J.A.Tilton, E.W.Hovey, A.C.McPhee and J.C.Holland representing the civic and business interests of Rock Island, went to Lyndonville Friday to solicit the coôperation of Superintendent Folsom in securing a recognized railway crossing pesr the passenger station.The only land available for building purposes near the proposed new shops is located across the track.Several buildings bave already been erected on Ives Avenue and qther streets are being laid out, but there, Js no legal highway there.Interested parties .have asked for streets, lights, etc.The council says it cannot comply with the request because it bas no rigbt of way across the raïlrosd track; the Oanedian Railway Commission does not feel called upon to act because the railroad is not at present opposed to the crossing of the track without permission; the railway is opposed-to a recognized level crossing because it ie being put to heavy expense in abolishing level crossings elsewhere.This is a ring-round affair which cannot last forever, Mr.Folsom received tbe delegation courteously, but gave the members little encouragement.He thought tbat if the council would make a proposal to pay balf the cost of an underpass the higher railway authorities in Boston might consider it.Meantime the development of the village is held up.While in the vicinity the delegates improved the opportunity to visit the state agrioul- tural college, the gift of Theodore N.Vail, aon were both surprised and pleased by its magnitude.- FARMS FOR SALE No.1075\u20148mall place of 9 acres in Caledonia County, pleasantly situated on main road, 4 miles to St.Johnsbury, a large railroad town and 3 miles to

showed deficit but considering the general business depression conditions were zegarded as fairly eatisfactory.Out of town trustees present were Rev.T.P.Perry, Rev.W.P.Boshart,C.W.Cate and Percy Duboyce.George Atkin of Magoon\u2019s Point was in town one day last week in con- pection with the mysterious disappearance of a black mare from his pasture on the night of July 16th.That afternoon a young man who gave the name of an Orleans County family, arrived in the neighborhood by canoe and wanted work to earn a meal, He found it at the Narrows and returned to the Point at duek.Simultaneously with the disappearance of the horse a bridle and some straps were missed from the premises of Cleophas Mishia, while the canoe remained on the shore.The lake had grown rough and in view of all circumstances no extraordinary imagination was required to conjecture tbat the young man had preferred a horseback ride homeward.Mr.Atkin was working on this theory but had not met with success when here.In the same cbnnection Mr.Atkin was in Hardwick, Vt., Sunday.Progressive municipalities everywhere are adopting town planning schemes and building to them.Something of that sort is a crying necessity here.Whenever & few building lots are plotted an individual plan is adopted which fits into no general plan and may not be the best for the community immediately concerned.Where the land is broken the necessity for scientific town planning is increased.Town planning does not necessarily mean greater expense.It does not necessitate removing all the high places to fill the low ones.On the other hand it means preserving rather than destroying natural features.A comprehensive town planning scheme would bave prevented \"building in the road\u201d and made impossible the semi-dug-outs and other building monstrocities which disfigure the landscape.Some people appear to think because the old streets are narrow, crooked and costly to maintain newer omnes should be.That would be harmony of a sort, but of an undesirable sort.GEORGEVILLE.Mr.and Mrs.Godel of Montreal, Misses Hammond and Dance are guests at \u2018\u2018Ellabank.\u201d Word was received today of the death

suddenly of heart failure, June 16th, 1916.He had been in failing health for several months, but was able to attend cburch and to his business affairs until the end.At the time of his death he was visiting his youngest son, Arthur, who lives about 50 miles from Los Angeles.He was born January 26th, 1888, and lived for many years at Boynton, Que.Inthe \u201cseventies he lived in Beebe, and from there Mr.Adams moved to 8t.Johnsbury, where he was employed by the Fairbanks Company for several years.In the fall of 1886 they removed to California where Mr.Adams became very suc- \u2018| cessful, and remained there until the end.He is survived by his wife, Ros- ina E.Quimby, daughter of the late Jobn M.Quimby, and two sous and one daughter in the East.COTTAGE TO LETA New Cottage of 8 rooms, all furnished, Lake Shore, Mystic Park, Cedarville.Que.Au ply at Thayer's Restaurant, Rock Island.24 WANTED\u2014Young man to learn the Drug business.Apply by letter to Bigelow\u2019s Pharmacy, Newport, Vermont.MORE HOUSES WANTED.Some broad plan for the promotion of building in Rock Island, is needed.The industrial development of the village continues, but no comprehen- tial sections has yet been evolved, and many who earn their living here have been forced to reside elsewhere.Between hills, railroad tracks, unavailable land and other municipalities, we seem to be very much hemmed in.Expenses of municipal maintenance mount higher and higher as better conditions are demanded, but the taxable valuation shows no corresponding increase.Some of the people who will ind employment in the new shops now under construction, should be kept in this municipality because Rock Island needs them as citizens, needs their taxes, and needs their trade.We begrudge not the prosperity of the progressive neighboring municipalities because we believe the \u201cThree Villages\u2019 should be one community.If it were possible to put all revenues together, meeting all expenses out of the common treasury, that would be ideal.But that is impossible, and Rock Island needs houses and men worse than the other villages, pot oniy because the industries are here, but because this is a more costly municipality to maintain, particalarly on account of its hills and bridges.During the license regime some people of a very desirable class sought homes in a neighboring village because they believed the surroundings to be more wholesome and the place more desirable as a residential community; that advantage has been removed by abolishing the licenses at Rock Island.The mayor and councilors are showing a disposition to clean up the place; they deserve the earnest cooperation of every good citizen.Those who help the community in this way help themselves as well.Let every man do his part to make the place so attractive that no one can find excuse to look elsewhere fora home.The more homes built here now the less will be the future burden of present ratepayers.Another thing.No serious effort has ever been made to open up any considerable portion of desirable land for building purposes within the limits of this municipality and offer the same at ressonable prices for a village community.The policy seems to have been to parcel it out in meagre quantities at high prices.Lote are now available west of the passenger station, but that is not enough; every man does not want to build there.There is a call for patriotic codperation in this matter.TO STOP TROTTING.The council seriously intends to stop trotting on the new Main Street bridge.One paragraph \u2018of the Government inspector\u2019s report reads: \u201cThe erection of the superstructure has apparently been done in a satis- factdbry manner, but when horses trot on the bridge, shocks acting on the heavy dead load of the flooring produce certain vibrations in the superstructure, and these are always prejudicial to a structure.It is important that the required means be taken to prevent trotting on this bridge.\u201d The bridge builders are under ten- year bonds guaranteeing the bridge, but the contract provides that trotting shall not be allowed on the struo- ture.The chjef danger is that rivets might he cut.The council does not wish to impose fines if this can be avoided but the Government regulations must be enforced.FRUIT BULLETIN RASPBERRIES, Niagara District grown, are about done, and

provides no funds for the delegate\u2019s expenses but the appointment is prized as a recognition of the good work done by Mr.Sargent in hie course of studies.Miss Jessie Adams, of Stowe, has entered

wondering on what blank the various forces enlisted for bis destruction may next appear.The blow referred to comes in the announcement that after January 1 whiskey and brandy are to dropped from the edition of the United States Pharmacopeia, the standard of pharmacists throughout the country.The far reaching effect of this action on the part of tbe pharmacopeia committee will be appreciated when it is understood that it means the official declaration that whiskey- and brandy are neither drugs nor medicine and cannot be legally handled or sold as medicine by pharmacists.The change in the attitude of the medical profession in connection with the use of liquor has been a notable feature in the modern cra- sade against alcohol until at last rom would seem to have been definitely outlawed by medical science.With this official repudiation of whiskey and brandy as a medicine, the license papers who are opposing prohibition for Vermont, can dry the tears which they are shedding because tbe Perry measure makes no provision for the sale of liquor for medical purposes.-Enosburg Standard.The Dixie Highway.The states interested are showing lively interest in the Dixie highway.Already approximately $10,000,000 in county bonds have been authorized or issued for the construction of various links in the roadway of 38368 miles that is to stretch \u201cfrom the pinnacle of the

le Prefitsble.[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.} .Like every business man, the farmes should be able to tell whether or not he has made money out of his operations and, if so, how much.The amount of cash at his disposal is no indication of his success.A striking instance of this is quoted by the office of farm management of the United States department of agriculture in one of its recent publications.A young New York farmer with 100 acres made two successive inventories a year apart, covering in detail his land, buildings, live stock, machinery and tools, produce on hand, supplies, bills receivable and payable and cash.At the time of the first inventory he had io cash $890, at the second only $133.Nevertheless, after all his farm expenses had been paid, all bis living expenses and the interest on the money be bad borrowed, he bad Jeally the equivalent of $563 to show for his year's work.At the beginning of the year his total assets had been $13,000, and these increased in the year to $13,400.In addition Le bad reduced the farm indebtedness by $253; thus his business was worth $563 more at the end of the year than it had been at the beginning.The increase of his investment in live stock, machinery and tools and produce held for sale amounted to $1,073, but on the other hand bis cash had decreased $763.Most energetic young farmers will! find themselves in a somewhat sirnilar position.They are naturally disposed to put back into the farm business what money they make out of it.The result is that however successful the enterprising farmer may be, he is not likely to find himself at the end of the year with much cash on band.Unless he is serupulous to take an accurate and thorough inventory this will be, more than likely to discourage him and, moreover, there will be no way for him to tell whether or not he is managing | his farm properly.To be of any serve | ice, however, the inventory must be\u2019 thorough.It must be a detailed list, | with values of everything that he owns, including money that is owed him; and, on the other hand.he must reckon up all of his debts and obligations.The difference between the total assets and debts is, of course, the net farm worth, It is this he wishes to increase, not the cash in hand.* Grapevine Trellis.Many people think they cannot plant grapevines because they bave no trellis ready or other support.\u2018Ko such people I will say that there is no better support than the side of a house or the side of any other building.But If the building sites are occupied all you have to do is to thrust in the ground near the garden a stout stake, which will support a row of grapevines across your garden for many years previous to your building a trellis for the grapevines, or you can grow grapes in this row of vines across your garden without ever building a trellis, but by simply training a cane or two of the vine to a stake or post.Notice that a grapevine will make double the growth if it has a support over the vine that has no support.Do not delay pruning your grapevines.The work can be done any time before the leaves appear.but in late pruning the vines are\u201d apt to lose some sap, called bleeding.\u2014Green\u2019s Fruit Grower.\u2014\u2014 * FOR PO B& Y BREEDERS.ULTR 4 @< ODOR EOE OE egg laying contest, Mountain Urove, Mo., gives these rules for breeding poultry:

all round bird is better to use as a breeder than a bird exceptionally good In one point and exceptionally poor in others, Let the male be exceptionally strong tn points where the female is weakest, and vice versa.Instead of buying ten males at $1 each and thus getting very ordinary males to head your flock, it is much better to get one good male at $10 and mate him in a separate pen to ten ot

bad the good fortune to board a deserted vessel at mea.I say \u2018\u2018good fortune\u201d because it has left me the memory of a singular impression.I have felt a ghost of the same thing two or three times since then, when peeping through the doorway of an abandoned house, writes Wilbur Danie} in a recent article.Now that vessel was not dead.She was a good vessel, sound vessl, even a handsome vessl, in her blunt.browed, coastwise way.She sailed under four lowers across as blue and glittering a sea as I have ever known, and there was not a point in her sailing that one could lay a finger upon as wrong.And yet, passing that schooner at two miles, one knew, somehow, that no hand was on her wheel.Sometimes I can imagine a vessel, stricken like that, moving over the empty spaces of the sea, carrying it off quite well were it not for.that indefinable suggestion of a stagger; and I can think of all those ocean gods, in whom no landsman will ever believe, looking at one another and tapping their foreheads with just the shadow of a smile.I wonder if they all these ships that bave lost their souls?Mine screamed.We heard her voice, like nothing I have ever heard before, when we rowed under her counter to read her name\u2014the Marionnette, it was, of Halifax.I remember how it made me shiver, there in the full blaze of the sun, to hear her going on so, railing and screaming in that stark fashion.And I remember, too, how our footsteps, pattering through the vacant internals in search of that haggard utterance, made me think of the footsteps of hurrying warders roused in the night.And we found a parrot in a cage; that was all.It wanted water.We gave it water and went away to look things over, keeping pretty -close together, all of us.In the quarters the table was set for four.Two men had begun to eat, by the evidence of the plates.Nowhere in the vessel was there any sign of disorder, except one sea chest broken out, evidently in haste.Her papers were gone and the stern davits were empty.That is how the case stood that day, and that is how it has stood to this, I saw this same Marionnette a week later, tied up to a Hoboken dock, where she awalted news from her owners; but even there, in the midst of all the water front bustle, I could not get rid of the feeling that she was still very far away\u2014in a sort of shippish other world.The thing happens now and then.Sometimes half a dozen years will go by without a solitary wanderer of this sort crossing the ocean paths, and then in a single season perhaps several of them will turn up; vacant waifs, impassive and mysterious\u2014a quarter column of -tidings tucked away on the second page of the evening paper.scream\u2014 National Debt Goes Up.The total net debt of the Domin- lon on May 31st last was $432,317,- 630.55, as compared with $313,558,- 250.15 on May 31st, 1914, or an increase of $118,759,380.40 during the year.This includes war expenditures of money loaned by Great Britain, between March 31st and May 81st.In the first two months of the fiscal year there has been an increase of $24,195,415.74 in the net debt of the Dominion, temporary loans outstanding on May 31ist amounted to $87,733,333.33, as against $8,273,333.32.In connection with such temporary loans as have been made for war purposes long- term bonds will be issued against them at the close of the war.The total revenue for the first two months of the fiscal year was $21,- 769,296.18, as - against $21,673,- 161.41 for its corresponding month 1914, or a slight increase.Expenditure on consolidated account for general expenses of administration amounted to $5,780,212, as against $5,604,555 for the two corresponding months 1914, or an increase of over $200,000.On capital account for work of a permanent character the expenditure was $2,371,205, as against $1,838,~ 750, or an increase of over half a million.Total expenditures on all accounts have, therefore, increased by $700,000.The increase is principally on public works, including rafl- ways and canals.Revenue is not keeping pace with expenditures, Father of Ship Channel, John Kennedy, consulting engin- ger of the harbor commissioners at Montreal, celebrated the 40th anniversary of his connection with that body recently.Mr.Kennedy might also be called the father of the St.Lawrence ship channel and the man who knows more about the St.Lawrence river than any other person.John Kennedy was born at Prescott in 1838 beside the St.Lawrence and bas devoted his life to studying that great waterway.Early in life he was chief engineer of the Great Western Railway \u2018of Canada with headquarters at Hamilton.Forty years ago he became chief engineer of the Montreal harbor commissioners.At that time only boats of the smaller class drawing 20 feet of water could come to the port of Montreal.The larger vessels put on part of their cargoes at Montreal and took the rest down the river on barges towed by tugs to Quebee where the work of loading was completed.On the return journey the big ships were lightered at Quebec.When Mr.Kennedy was appointed he took charge of all the works in band by the harbor commissioners, including the ship channel.Their Favorite Drink, The favorite drink of the Rou- manian peasants is tsuioa, an ardent spirit made chiefly from piams.The wnnual output of this spirit is about rar FARMERS' GARDENS, Sufficient Attention Is Not Paid to Vegetables For Table.Fresh vegetables make up a very small part of the diet of many fami- Jes on farms, It is impossible to estimate the value of the vegetables which may be grown in the home garden, but it is safe to say that a well-kept garden will yield a return mady times as great as the return from an equal area devoted to gen- oral farm crops.There is great satisfaction in having an abundant supply of fresh vegetables, where they can be secured at short notice, Vegetables and fruits furnish a large par.of the salts required by the bu- man system, so that thgy are valuable medicinally as well ag for food.If more succulent food were avall- able, less money would be spent jf doctors\u2019 fees and for medicines.Fresh vegetables from the home garden are not subjected to exposure in marketing, are not liable to infection and are of a much better flavor than vegetables that have been gathered for some time.The home vegetable garden deserves greater attention from the average farmer.orse cultivation of the garden is recommended wherever possible, and, where the work is to be done by means of horse tools, the garden should be so arranged that the rows will run lengthwise, It is often a good plan to grow vegetables for the table in the same field with corn or root crops.Two or three rows in this field, on the side close to the house, can be planted to tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, cabbages, peas, beans, etc.and will supply fresh vegetables for the table during the growing season.They can be easily cultivated and kept clean when the corn and root crops are being attended to with the horse implements.| One lady in Prince Edward Island, on one of the farms where illustration work was being done for the\u2019 Commission of Conservation, who, desired to go into the poultry busi | ness, moved the garden out to the field and had it attended to as above! suggested.This plan worked so well that it has been continued and gives excellent satisfaction.There is no reason why the same thing cannot be done on many farms; it will mean that a better and more! abundant supply of vegetables will be obtained, and, also that the woman\u2019s work on the farm will be con-| siderably lightened.Every pound of food supplied from the garden means that there will be more of the other products of the farm for sale.\u2014 F.C.N.in Conservation.Employs Ten Devils, Among the Klondyke Indians the medicine \u201cman\u201d likely as not, is a woman.As a matter of fact, says a writer in The Wide World, the most celebrated medicine \u201cman\u201d in Alaska at the present time is of the feminine sex.The lady rejoices in the name of No-ha-de-lan.Her name, literally translated, means \u2018The woman who never came back.\u201d Where, or how she got this curious cognomen I was, never able to learn, but the old lady is very proud of it.No-ha-de-lan lives at the mouth of the Koyukuk river, a tributary of the Yukon, and has been the head of her tribe for many years.To obtain the post of witch-doctor it is necessary, according to tribal lore, that the applicant should have some peculiar physical or mental development.Hunchbacks are in great demand, and a childless woman is looked upon as a certain possessor of supernatural powers.Anyone afflicted with paioy or St.Vitus\u2019 dance al- 80 can obtain a first-class job.It would seem, however, from the view point of an impartial observer, that the witch-doctors, besides these abnormalities, are generally the possessors of a few more brains than their compatriots.Relying upon a few old tricks and their own native intelligence, they manage to fool their neighbors and lead a nice easy life, accumulating for themselves a good supply of this world's riches as the Indian understands them.It might be as well to explain, by the way, that the terms \u2018\u2018witch-doctor\u201d and \u201cmedicine man\u201d are synonymous.The Russian word \u2018shaman\u2019 is often used in Alaska to describe a medicine man, but the Indians themselves always address him by the reverent term \u2018teynen,\u201d or, in the case of a female, \u2018soltan

Imported Percheron Stallion SAVED BY A TAC c An (neldent of the Perilous Times In Paris in 1848.On Feb.34.1848, when Parla was élsturbed by the revolutionary mob, à Captain Prebols was seat by the government with orders to be de livered to the leaders of the trooge that were dsfending tbe threatsned points in various parts of the city.It was a dangerous undertaking, for the bitterness of the peopls against the government was intense Before starting out Captain Prebois was warned to take the greatest care if he valued his life, but be took the \u2018warnings lightly and said: \u201cIf you feb lows knew my black horse as well ag I know him you wouldn't worry about me.That horse has carried me through thick and thin.\u201d The black borse of which the gallant captain was so proud was indeed a beautiful animal.But there was some thing very extraordinary about his tail.It was long and bushy, but ît nevez moved or twitched, except with the movement of the animal's body.When Prebois arrived in the disturd ed section of the city he fearlessly delivered his message.He met with no resistance from the crowds in the streets until he reached the Place Ven.dome.Here a great crowd of revolw ' tionists had gathered, One seized the bridle and cried in a flerce volce: \u201cHold! What message are you Carry ing?\u201d The captain refused to answer.\u201cPut a bullet through him and get that mes sage!\u201d bawled out the man in a com manding voice He was evidently a leader of the mob.At this point the captain determined that quick action alone would save him from violence at the hands of the crowd, Quick as a flash he wheeled his horse and dashed off.Several bol lets fiew after him, but they went wild and then suddenly ceased altogether, He looked round and saw the mob crowding round one of their nurabes, who held something in his hand.And thea his eyes fell on the back of his horse and his heart sank in dismay.It seems that as he whirled his horse about several men seized hold of the animal.But the powerful creature threw them all except one, a lad of fourteen, who selzed the horse's tail.That tail was the object of interest that had caused the shooting to stop, for it had come off.There stood the boy, in the middle of the road, with his feet spread apart and an expression of grim determination on his face as he tightly clutched the fleeing crea tures tail.The mob saw the humo of the situation and burst into a roars of laughter.The explanation came out later.I seems that Captain Prebois\u2019 horse, while perfect in every other particular, did not have a very good tail, and so his master had an artificial one made ior him.No doubt that artificial tai, and that alone, saved Captain Prebols\u2019 fa - We Remember.Bacon\u2014It is said that tin is used to weight silk to such an extent that many, a woman's dress would assay as high» ly as what often is considered good tin ore.Bgbert\u2014Yes, and then the women get a lot of \u201ctin\u201d out of our clothes, too, you must Yonkers Statesman, Same Power.\u201cI have tribute to my powers as an actor.I can draw tears from men and women alike any time by working o® their feelings.\u201d \u201cHumph! 1 can do that too.\u201d \u201cOn the stage?\u201d \u201cNo, in my office I'm a dentist.\" New York American.His Bread and Butter.\u201cI met Biffers\u2019 wife yestérday.Talk all the time, doesn\u2019t she?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d I have never heard Biffers complete about it.\u201d \u201cHe'd better not.She supports him by lecturing.\u201d\u2014Cleveland Plain Dealeg, Wanted Her to Have the Best.* Nell\u2014-Rather conceited, isn\u2019t he?i ~I should say.He suid the best sone too good for me, and then he peus posed.\u2014Philadelphia Record.!

those grown on other trees may have the taste of the common English walnut.But somewhere some one is eventually going to produce a nut that is superior to either parent, and this Is the variety that America wants.A little study of the methods here shown will enable any one to change the form and taste of any walnut.The walnut tree has both male and female blooms.The male bloom, staminate or catkin, comes out at the end of last year's wood; the female bloom, pistil or nut bloom, comes out at the end of the new growth each spring.The pistil or nut bloom produces the walnut when properly fertilized by the pollen of the catkin, The pollen of the catkin is a fickle and feeting impalpable yellow powder and may be borne some distance on the wind.It is carried by the breeze or by insects and sometimes fertilizes nut blooms on trees that have no catkin more than a mile away.It is best to find a young black walnut tree just coming into bearing and far removed from all other walnut trees.Carefully: remove all catkins before they mature or releage any pol- It is best to remove them before the buds begin to swell in the spring.Then when the pistils are open touch the flowers with a camel's hair brush @ipped in the pollen that has been secured for the experiment.This should be done two or three times on different days while the nut bloom is out to make sure that It has been touched at the proper time.If no isolated small tree is available it will be necessary to protect the experimental pistils from nearby cat This can be done by removing the catkins from the branch that is to carry the experiment and coveriug the blooms with light paper sacks, which should be left on until all nearby cat- king are gone.This should be done before the catkins mature and before the nut blooms are out.When the nut blooms are sufficiently open to be fertilized the paper sacks should be gently removed, of openings should be made so the pollen may be put on the inciosed blooms.When tbe nuts are ripe and are ready to fall they should be gathered and placed where they will get neither too dry nor too warm.In fall or early winter they should be put in a box of sand and left out in the weather unti epring.Then plant in good soil, plac ing them about two inches below the surface.When the little trees are a year old they may be grafted into black wal nuts or other walnut bearing trees, and in two or three years from the grafting you will have nots from your experiment and will know wbethe: you have a prize or not.\u2018The portions of the little trees that are left to grow shonld begin to bear a crop of nuts is from re to eight years its tributary waters.ON JAMES BAY.War Has Played Havoc With Ine comes of the Indians.For ten mouths our minds have been turned far afleld by the war, and rightly so on the whole, because on the issue of the conflict depends almost everything that we hold most dear.Tor years we all read and talked much about our heritage.Now we are reading and talking about the ebb and flow of the conflict that is being waged in our heritage\u2018s defence.However, it is well now and then, to turn from the overshadowirg subject to toples of less weight, but of first-class importance before the war threw its shadow across our path, says the Montreal Standard.For instance, there is our Great Northland, always interesting because it Is strange and because it is valuable, as Canadians are more amd more coming to understand.A Government blue-book, recently issued, brings to our attention a section of the Lone North\u2014the shores and waters of the James Bay\u2014that part of the great inland sea that reaches well down to the centre of our hinterland.This book is a report on the fisheries of the bay and These fisheries are valuable, but it is not to this point that attention is here directed, but to a statement respecting the aborigines inhabiting the shores of the bay\u2014our northern citizens, the shore Indian and the Eskimos, Until the war depressed the fur market these.Indians for years bad been in receipt of good incomes, Their take of furs was Jarge, and the prices paid them were .high.\u201cWith all these advantages,\u201d says the report, \u201cit would be thought that these Indians would have the appearance of enjoying some prosperity, but the reverse is the case, a more hang-dog miserable looking lot of people in the aggregate it would be impossible to conceive.The Indians have practically undisputed ownership of the coast line as far north as Fort George, but beyond this point Eskimos are to be met, although they are not very numerous south of Cape Jones.One or two Eskimo families live on an island near Cape Hope, these being probably the most southerly representatives of their race.The Eskimo can be described as a littoral people, inhabiting the bays and islands of the Arctic and sub- Arctic coasts.Of the two races (Indian and Eskimo) there can be no question of which ls the more desirable from the point of view of an employer of labor; the Indian being, if not lazy, absolutely indifferent to time and quickly tiring of any work.They are also timid sailors in any large boat, that is in venturing far from land, and will only consent to go provided the total crew is double the number really necessary; a curious fact, since they would appear from the manner of handling their small canoes to be quite capable sallors.The Eskimo, on the other hand, are a manly race, excellent seamen, and will prove invaluable as fishermen.The Eskimos, living as they do all the year round on the coast or islands, are unable to make as large a fur catch as the Indians, with the result that they do not enjoy the same credit with the trading companies, They are, therefore, considerably poorer, but infinitely harder working, and in every way a more deserving people.\u201d An Interesting Demonstration, Great interest has been shown in the apiary demonstrations conducted throughout the province, under the direction of Mr.Morley Pettit, Provincial Aplarist.The attendance at the 55 meetings held during the season of 1914 averaged 34, while in 1912 the average was 25.Unexcelled opportunities are offered those present to have their difficulties in beekeeping explained, and the demonstrator, having the apiary and the equipment at his disposal, is able to illustrate his remarks to great advantage, The meetings are held in the aplaries.Hives are opened and the working of the colony displayed.Attention is directed to the different kinds of cells, the various stages of the brood, the queen is pointed out, and suggestions made on the activities of the colony.Foul brood, swarming, wintering and requeening are also discussed, and the time is very profitably spent both for the beginner and the experienced beekeeper.The use of models of a wintering case for wintering four colonies outdoors will be an interesting addition to the meetings to be held this season.Already arrangements are under way for two demonstrations in each county.From present indications these meetings will be more widely attended and of greater value to the beekeepers than ever before.For particulars apply to the Agriculture Department, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, To Sell Pulp Limit, Hon.G.H.Ferguson, Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines for Ontario, has decided to offer by tender the disposal of another large pulpwood limit near Lac 8eul, north of the Transcontinental Railway.The limit comprises 2,500 square miles.Under the terms of the concession the successful tenderer will be required to construct a pulp and paper mill and spend $1,760,000 on mill and equipment.The capacity of the mill must be 100 tons of paper per day, and it must employ an average of 250 men for ten months in the year.Indians Doing Their Bit, The Canadian Red Cross Society has received a cheque from the Rev.Edwin Lee, of Caledonia, Ontario, for eighty dollars, donated by the congregation of Christ Church, Anglican, Six Nations Indians, Mr.Les states that his Indian parishioners are also doing a great deal of kait- ting and sewing.vg Whales Curiesities.Little is really known about his wualenbip.This is surprising.consti- ering he is such an Interesting subject.The blue or sulphur bottom whale is the largest unimal living today.Spec tmeus bave meusured eighty-seven feet in length, which in all probability welghed about seventy-five tons.Oddly enough, although the mouth will perinit twelve men to stand in it the throat is only pine inches in diameter.These particular whales feed on minute shrimps\u2014about three-quarters of an inch in length\u2014and they probably never touch fish while they can obtain these.From tbe inside of one of these whales five barrels of shrimps.were taken.The sperm whale possesses spermaceti in liquid form in the upper portion of its head.From one of these whales twenty barrels of spermaceti were taken out of the \u201ccase.\u201d This same type of whale also yields ambergris, that valuable substance used so extensively in the manufacture of our best perfumes.A Lost Sea.\u201cOne of the most curious experiences 1 ever had,\u201d says James Oliver Cur wood, the author, \u201coccurred on my first trip to James bay, the southern por tion of Hudson bay.We reached the bay just at sunset.It happened that 1 was the first to awaken in the morning, and when I crawled out of my tepee 1 gave a yell that roused the camp.The sea was gone! Not a sign of that vast grass grown dip in which ft had been.My first thought, and a natural one, was that 1 was out of my head.Where had the sea gone?! Had we really camped on its shore the night before?I strained my eyes, but could see nothing but that dip speckled with pools of water.I was in the company of a Hudson bay factor at the time, and I turned to find him laughing.Then the explanation came.At this point James bay was unusually shallow, and at low tide the sea dropped back seven miles! During the night it had actually left us seven miles In- laud.\u201d Japan First With Japanese.Every Japanese is a Japanese first, whatever else he may le second.In this unified patriotism they are incomparable.It extends even to the minor affairs of life.There is no Japanese, of high or low degree, who will admit any fault of his country to a foreigner, however strict his censure may be when talking to his friends.If there are faults the Japanese conceal them.They never volunteer any information as to drawbacks, and they always have an excuse for failures.No: condition can arise in Japan whereby a foreigner can learn from a Japanese of anything to the detriment of the country.The statesmen will not tell you anything.The coolies will not tell you anything.They are units of

liquor people have been trying to make themselves believe that the modern temperance crusade is nothing more than a fanatical wave of merely local dimensions\u2014a wave which is bound to recede with the outgoing of the tide.But the wave rolls higher and higher and higher, as state after stafe and province after province become submerged.The truth is, not one argument in favor of either booze or license can be sustained.When the campaign in this section began, about two years ago, there was a rush into print in defense of the license cause.But every argument advanced was overwhelmingly submerged.At Rock Island about a year ago one public meeting was held in support of the doomed cause, and at this meeting one clever paid orator attempted a defense of the license system, but in the face of an enlightened public opinion the effort was worse tban lost; there was a reaction in favor of no- license.Throughout the various campaigns the full use of the JOURNAL'S columns has been available to the advocates of the license system, but during the last campaign no attempt was made to defend that cause, either through the press or from the public platform.While the JOURNAL is a firm believer in ao-license, it also believes in giving its opponents a chance to express their views and has frequently made this willingness known.Under euch oircumstances no bully has reasonable excuse for assaulting an editor.But this brings us squarely against the fact that the only arguments (?) left to the liquor party are bribery, intimidation and physical force.The legalized drinking place is an unmitigated nuisance.More aud more, the world over, it is being so regarded.We of the East have been taught to regard the West as still somewhat \u201cwild and wooly.\u201d Easterners who have been fighting the local battles against King Alcohol, while looking to province- wide in the distance, had expected the disreputable old ruler to make bie last stand in the West.Traveling men of the East have held both Alberta and Saskatchewan up as horrible examples of license and drink.Both are slated among the \u2018\u2018drys,\u201d and we are now forced to doff our hats to them.It is frequently the case that people who suffer most from an evil are the first to throw it off.That may have been the case with the Western provinces.Coming close to home, it was more or less that way with Rock Island.DEMICK'S MILLS.The Ladies Aid of Demick\u2019s Mills met with Mrs.Jobn Tabor, July 15th, for dinner.Proceeds $6.40; number present 562.The next meeting will be held with Mrs.L.Tabor,

from the business and civic life of thiscommun- Ry.Mr.Kathan was a son of the late Hollis and Susan (Lord), Katban and was born at Moe\u2019s River, Compton county, April 8, 1885.Mr.Kathan came to Rock Island, Sept.5, 1850, entering the employ of bis cousin, Carlos P.Haskell, and J.W.Baxter who were then doing business in the \u201cold yellow store,\u201d under the firm name of Baxter & Haskell.April 5, 1856, Mr.Kathan became an equal partner in the business with Mr.Has- kell, and succeeded to the business upon the death of his partner, July 2, 1868, remaining sole proprietor for nearly 39 years or until 1he admission of W.Clark Hopkins in April, 1904.Since that time the business has been conducted under the name of Kathan & Hopkins.Mr.Kathan was the last surviving member of the first municipal council of Rock Island.From the time this village was raised to the dignity of a manicipal corporation to the time of his death, of period of 23 years, Mr.Kathan held a seat in the council.He was also the first mayor and held that office for many years.He was an unusual man\u2014possessing what might be called a love for business.During his business career he handled, as executor, a number of important estates, the largest of which was that of the late Horace Stewart.He was a director in the Eastern Townships Bank, and after the absorption of that concern by the Canadian Bank of Commerce became an honorary director of the larger institution, He was one of the original promoters of the People\u2019s Telephone Company.Mr.Kathan possessed both the ability and the desire to make money and left an estate roughly estimated at $100,000 00, the bulk of which goes to his half-brother and partner, W.Clark Hopkins, although numerous other relatives were remembered in the will.Deceased was a member of Golden Rule Lodge No.5, À.F.& AM., Golden Rule Chapter No.1, Sussex Frecoptory No.9, K.T., and Mount Sinai Temple, A.A.O.N.M.8.Mr.Kathan, who was unmarried, occupied a comfortable suite on the second floor of the large store building, and the funeral took place in that building on Sunday afternoon the central portion of the main salesroom being cleared and appropriately draped for the occasion.The solemn and impreesive service was conducted by Rev.T.A.Halpenny, in the pres- of a large number of relatives and friends.The mayor and councilors of Rock Island, viz: James A.Gilmore, Dr.E.P.Ball, George Clark, L.A.Lanctot, F.W.D.Melloon and CO.R.Jenkine acted as bearers.Interment in the Derby Line cemetery.Intestinal tuberculosis was the cause of Mr.Kathan\u2019s death.He was a man of remarkable endurance and bad he been spared frôm this disease might have lived some years longer, although he had passed his eightieth birthday last April.He had been afflicted for nearly two years and underwent several operations which afforded only temporary relief; an indomitable Will and a determination to live kept him going until his last ounce of strength was exhausted; then he passed peacefully and quietly away.LEADVILLE.Mr.and Mrs.Chas.Lenney of Georgeville, spent a few days here Inet week, the guests of Mr.and Mrs.L.J.Stickney.Mr.Frank

believe in raising more tons or busbels of our tried staple crops on fewer acres, the conspicuous merits of some newer ones entitle them to a share of our attention.The soy bean is one of these.It may take the place of oats in a rotation where the climate is tov warm for oats to prosper.It is a good bay crop almost anywhere in thls country.If raised for the beans they sell at good prices or make a high protein feed.Tle soy bean is a good catch crop fof hay.It improves the land und makes a fine seed bed for wheat.Let us learn to raise it when and where it fs needed to readjust a rotation or to supply hay with which to balance the corn crop.\u2014Natlonal Stockman and Farmer.000000000000000000000000 THE WIREWORM PEST.Birds Are Probably the Best Destroy- ors of This Farmer's Enemy.[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.) The wireworm is regarded as one of the five chief pests of indian corn and one of the twelve of wheat and oats.Where wireworms exist even in very small numbers corn will make a poor stand, and where the insects are numerous it is quite customary to sow three or four times the normal amount of seed as a protection agalust its ravages.Although wireworms do most of this damage while inere grubs measuring from balf an luch to three inches in length, they are more readily recognized as adult beetles, which in some localities are kuown as \u201cclick beetles,\u201d \u201cskip jacks,\u201d \u201csnapping beetles,\u201d etc.A number of birds are kuown to feed on wireworms and these are probably the most important factor in keeping down the pest.Among these birds are the bobwhite, flicker, wourning dove, ruffed grouse, crow, whippoorwill California quail, cowbird and bobolink.Cuckoos, woodpeckers, blackbirds, orioles, sparrows, jays and certain kinds of hawks are also useful in this way.Where the wireworms are too numerous to be effectively checked by birds the only remedies which have been found effective are cultural metb- ods.Attempts to kill the adult beetle by poisoning, drying the seed to prevent Its being eaten by the lnsect, or the introduction of poisonous substances into the soil have all been found decidedly unsatisfactory.! The wheat wireworm is a grass feeder by nature, living on the roots of sod.It produces uo appreciable dis turbance in meadows, but when the sod is broken the worms concentrate in the drill rows er hills of corn, the usual crop to follow sod in the east ern United States.There they destroy the seed and eat off the roots of such plants as may germinate, frequently producing an absolute crop failure.When land is intended for corn the following year therefore tle department\u2019s specialists recornmend that the sod should be broken immediately after the bay is cut, usually early in July.For the rest of that summer it should be cultivated deeply.Badly infested corn land should be deeply cultivated even at the risk of \u201croot pruning\u201d the corn.Jf wheat is to follow the corn the field should be very tborougbly cultivated as soon as the corn is removed and before the whent is aôwn.A thorough preparation of the corn seed bed and a liberal use of bagnyard manure or other fertilizer will often result in a fair stand of corn despite the wireworms, for a vigorous plant may be able to produce roots enough to withstand the attack of this enemy.nr 09200030 CC FOLGE P

discoverer of the blonde Eskimos.He may be alone in that great wilderness of eternal winter; be may be accompanied by one or both of the adventurers who set forth with him on April 7, 1914, to find that unknown continent which many scientific men believe exists in the vast unexplored region lying north and west of Alaska and due north from Siberia.It is possible that he may have perished with his companions, Stork- ensen and Andersen, but those who know Stefansson well do not believe this to be the fact.They recall that as long ago as 1906-07 he was given up for lost, and that after undergoing extraordinary bardship and danger he came back safely to civil- izatlon.Also do these friends of Stefansson remember that instead of living as does the usual explorer his custom is to llve like the Eskimos; to eat the food they eat, to dwell in thelr snow igloos, to accustom himself to the manner of existence which enables these folk to endure century after century.: Therefore, declares the optimistic ones who have abiding faith in the man, Stefansson is probably alive to this day.And they are emphatic In the bellef that an effort should be made to relleve and rescue him.An astonishing plan is now being put forth by the meteorologist -of his expedition and his personal secretary, Burt M.McConnell, In brief, it is to send a ship to Wrangel Island, off the northern coast of Siberia, accompanied by three hydro- aeroplanes, and with these to conduct a systematic search of the ice wastes, not by attempting to plow through them with a vessel, but by flying above them at a distance from the earth of 500 or 1,000 feet, \u201cIn no other way,\u201d declares Mr.McConnell, \u2018can a search and a rescue be accomplished.When Stefans- son and his two companions left me on the ice a year ago and more they were marching northward, in a direction never penetrated by ship and where a ship could not penetrate.Furthermore, it is not reasonable to suppose that other men on foot, with sledges and dog teams, could go where Stefansson has gone and relieve him, for he is perhaps the most extraordinary Arctic traveler living in bis ability to take care of himself and his party.If he cannot get back I do not see how anyone else could go where he is and get back safely.\u201cTherefore, putting out of question the use of a ship and also travel over the ice with dogs and sledges, only one possible means for relief is lett\u2014that of flylng through the air.The searchers would be uninterrupted by huge ridges of upstanding ice, bampered by impassable leads of open water, and, more important than all else, perfectly able to return each night to the ship, which would form the base of supplies.\u201d Mr.McConnell has no idea of being leader of tbe rescue expedition by hydro-aeroplanes.He frankly acknowledges that his youth and his comparative inexperience in Arctic exploration might militate against success, and he suggests that a leader be chosen from among such men as Capt.C.T.Peterson, who picked up Capt.Bartlett on the coast of Siberia; Olaf Swenson of the King and Winge, who rescued the men from Wrangel Island, and Capt.Martin Andersen, whose brother is out on the ice with Stefansson.Mr.McConnell thinks that these three men certainly should be in the rescue party, and that a leader should be chosen of their calibre, although the aeronautic work, the actual flying over the ice wastes, would have to be under the leadership and command of an experienced aeroplane expert.Made the Bishop Feel Small, No one, to look at him, would realise that the Duke of Connaught had recently celebrated his sixty- fifth birthday.His Royal Highness has always looked much younger than his real age, which fact recalls an amusing story.Once, during the late Queen Victoria\u2018s lifetime, the duke was invited to attend a function that was presided over by a very patronizing and very short-sighted bishop.His Royal Highness arrived very late and excused himself to the bishop by saying that he had been in attendance on his mother, \u201cQuite right, quite right, young man!\u201d sald the bishop in a fatherly manner.\u201cA man's first duty is to his parents.And how is the dear old lady?Remember me to her, won't you?\u201d When the duke had withdrawn the bishop turned to his chaplain and asked: \u201cWho was that?\u201d \u201cThe Duke of Connaught, my Lord,\u201d replied the chaplain quietly.After that the bishop made himself scarce, War Tax Receipts, According to reports of the Federal Inland Revenue Department $171,063 have been collected in the form of war taxes by the department since March.This is said to represent only a small portion of the war tax collected by the Government, as many use ordinary stamps on letters, checks, patent medicines and the like and the Inland Revenue has no check on this revenue, which goes into the Postoffice Department.Will Supply Nurses.The Victorian Order of Nurses through its

\u2018his offices because the Sultan ordered him to assume Turkish citizenship.He entered the commercial fleld at once, and before the European war started it was predicted tbat he would become the \u2018\u2018OIl King\u201d of Turkey.: Bucknam Pasha had an (nterest- ing early career, but he did not begin to figure on the international horizon until 1903, when in behalf of the Cramps Shipbuilding Company at Philadelphia, be acted as trial captain of the Hamidieh and commanded it on the trip to Turkey.After his arrival at the Golden Horn the Sultan offered Bucknam a big salary to take a place in the Turkish navy, and he accepted.From 1904 to 1911 Bucknam completely reorganized the Turkish navy.Bucknam trained Captain Raouf Bey, the greatest Turkish naval commander of modern times, who commanded the Hamidieh, which during the Balkan war sank six Greek ships, among them the 10,000-ton liner Macedonia and two ships loaded with Serbian soldiers, besides doing great damage to island and coast fortifications of the Balkan allies.At the end of the Balkan war, Raouf refused to consider hostilities at a close and continued to capture Greek ships.His activities nearly resulted in the re-opening of the war, and the Turkish Government finally sent to London for Bucknam in order to get him to call off Raouf.Bucknam distinguished himself at the time that a bomb intended for the Sultan was exploded near Yildiz Kiosk.As the Sultan was leaving the mosque there was a terrible explosion and nearly a score of those surrounding the Sultan were killed or wounded.Bucknam drew his sword, rushed to the side of the Sultan and walked with sword drawn beside the carriage back to Yildis.He became a unique personage in the Ottoman navy by reason of his ability and scrupulous honesty.Before his time it was the system for European shipbullders to get as much as possible for ships as nearly worthless as the Sultan's officers would accept.The Sultan paid in one instance $1,650,000 for an iron tub which was said to be worth not more than $300,000.$1,200,000 of the purchase money went to the Sultan's officers, who paid $450,000 for the ship, or $150,000 more than it was worth.Bucknam was nearly beaten to death at Klel, Germany, when he made a trip there in order to find out why the Sultan's officers required so.much time and money to have a crulser repaired.He found that nothing had been done to the vessel, although séveral hundred thousand dollars had been sent from Constantinople to put it in condition.Buck- nam contracted to have It made right and tight for $20,000 and while he was waiting at Kiel he was attacked and nearly killed by stad wounds.A few weeks later, however, he was on the way back to Constantinople with the ship.After leaving the Turkish navy, Bucknam acquired rights {in three important oil centres in European and Asiatic Turkey.His opportunity was a wonderful one, because Turkey had in the past imported annually 400,000,000 gallons of oil from Russia, Roumania, and the United States.Bucknam\u2019s Anglo- American syndicate owned enough oil land to supply the entire need of Turkey and to export quantities.He obtained 50,000 acres of oil land on a shore of the Sea of Marmora, 100,000 acres on the shore of Lake Van, in Eastern Asia Minor, and 15,- 000 acres south of Trebizond, the chief Turkish port on the Black Sea.Bucknam was born at Hantsport, Nova Scotia, in 1869.Fighting Forest Insects.Dr.C.Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist, in forecasting the work of the Branch for 1915, says in regard to insects affecting forest and shade trees.\u201cIn view of the widespread character of the depredations of bark- beetles in British Columbia and the serious losses they are causing, our investigations will be extended northward from the regions covered during the past two seasons.Further studies will be made in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C., on the insects responsible for the loss of so many trees in that natural reserve.It is also hoped that an opportunity will be afforded of studying forest insect conditions in the Peace River region from which we have evidence that would indicate the need of such an investigation.A complete study of the parasites of the spruce bud- worm which has been very abundant in eastern Canada during the last five years is being made and the work will be continued in conjunction with the work on other parasite insects in New Brunswick, It is also proposed to devote some attention to certain special insects affecting forest and shade trees in eastern Canada, such as the bronze birch borer, etc.\u201d .First Fruits For Soldiers, The Niagara Peninsula Fruitgrow- ers\u2019 Association have decided to send the first fruits of the 1915 crop to invalided soldiers of

dificult it is to create a perfect vacuum.even with this instrument.A vacuum can be created in a single way by using two drinking gla: , 8 small candle end and a piece of blotting paper.The glasses must be the same size and of the thin glass kind \u201cThe candle end is lighted and put into one glass, the blotting paper is well dampened and placed on top of the glass, the other glass Inverted and its rim placed exactly over the lower one and pressed own tightly.The candle will burn up all the oxygen in the glass and go out.The air in the glass, belng heated, will expand, and some of it will be forced out from under the moist paper; then as the portion remaining cools it Will contract and draw the upper glass on the paper and create an air tight Joint.The upper glass can be taken up

Edward C.Cross- man in Outing, With one possible ex.ception\u2014when in certain conditions of open country modern military bullets hiss to those standing back of the firing llne\u2014nothing is audible except a sharp crash of air closing around the bullet's base when it travels at high speed.At a velocity of 1,500 feet a second, or more, the noise is \u201clike nothing so much as a long and very violently cracked blacksnake whip.\u201d Those who stand far enough from the rifie hear the bullet's crack and later the dull, thudding noise of the rifle itself, which has been outspeeded.Jack

it radiates light \u2014frst red rays, then yellow and finally, if the heat is very intense, a white light is emitted The red rays are longer and of less frequency than the blue When white light is passed through a prism the waves are acted upon and are separated.The red rays are diverted less from their previous direction than the violet.This is exemplified by light from a clear sky.Refracted by suspended particles in the air, the blue rays are diverted more than the others and give a blue appearance to the otherwise colorless clear sky.\u2014Samuel 8, Sadtler, 8.B,, in \u201cChemistry of
