Why is Point Grey t Because of Harvey's "saucer" t That is a mote question that has bothered many a one of us from time to time, but it begins to be self-evident that everyone and everything is going "grey1' in that locality owing to the crass-' headedness of the P. Gv Council. Take this sewerage contract, for example, which they first let to Mr. Geo. Webster, ihe well-known local contracting engineer, for a sum of $153,000 odd. The next thing one hears is that they have changed their minds���������bless the dear children��������� and re-let the same contract to a Seattle firm for $155,000 -Just $2,300 more! The ratepayers will, of course, appreciate the- kind care of the local funds this shows, and also will no doubt provide all the needed packing cases needed to send the good dollarsI of Point Grey over Uncle Sam's way. "Harvey's sauce'' with a vengeance. One redeeming feature, ia they seemi to have a clerk who knows his business and who diligently pursues it., I often wonder what kind of a glorious tangle some of these petty municipalities would find themselves tied lip in, were it not for more buBiness-like oflRcials than some of the councillors themselves seem to be. If "dead men tell no tales,'' Deadman's Island seems to have excited the! living to" tell a few fairy stories from time to time, and even our "only Joe Martin''---the political clown of the . West���������-eomes up with a "Here we are again'��������� sort of expression,,as if there being some dirty party work to be done, he couldn't possibly keep out of it even for a consideration. That Ludgate lied when he alleged it was the desire of the people to have a $250,000 sawmill there, was obvidus aftet the remark of Mr. H. H-. Stevens, MP., at the Pender Hall meeting. That many others have been'lying abont this shady transaction ever since seems also painfully evident. X Here is a small portion���������an offshoot aa it were��������� of Stanley Park lying right down by the mouth of Vancouver's land-locked harbor, and absolutely essential in these1 days for purposes of bar- "��������� bor defence, yet the Laurier������������������', government calmly : give away what for aU intents and .purposes is a part and parcel of Stanley Park to a private, clique. "Born in iniquity," as Mr. H. JI. Stevens put it, is none too strong, and it would not surprise me to find out in the end that it is the Ludgate interests who are the real trespassers on the \Dead- man 's Island portion of. the people's domain��������� Stanley park. A lease obtained by such obvious fraud, and put through with such indecent haste, can sometimes be upset if it can be shown that the intention of the parties were dishonest, or that the government of the day acted ultra vires and gave away jrhat did not belong to them. The harbor question is of such vital interest, not only to Vancouver, but throughout the West, that /it certainty is fitting that it be made a national port. The docks and wharfage accommodation must be of the very best* and access free and unrestricted for the business public must be provided at all times. Every good dock has a public approach free from all restrictions, and Vancouver's must be wide open in that respect. That a strong Board or Harbor Trust should control it goes without saying, Once more it becomes necessary to call attention to the need of a Merchants' Commission to assist the Board of Trade over the railway rates question. There are, there must be lots of merchants who have no connection with the Board whatever, who can produce thousands of examples of overcharging by the railways that will never see the light of day else. Two months ago I suggested that the new depot have a good roadway alongside it which would be an extension of Granville Street. Now I see by their plan in the Province that is what they propose, and very great will be the improvement. One of the finest ever done in Vancouver and the company should not be stingy either whilst they are at it. Why not take my other suggestion and extend an elevated concrete roadway right along over part of the tracks and next the waterfront? What a beautiful boulevard could be made from say MAIN Street right along to Coal Harbor, and the cost would not be so enormous either. Speaking roughly, I would say the whole business could be well done for $1,500J000 for a 36-foot roadway and a 10-foot sidewalk overkanding. The expense is a mere bagatelle for the city, seeing to what extent they are spending money like water, paying out to and around the scattered real estate in the distant suburbs. That was rather an amusing suggestion to erect a memorial column to Point Grey 1912 councillors. These gentry seem to need some-stern discipline and I note Avith pleasure the B. C. Empire- League is after their scalps. The most effectual way to get even now is for the B. C. League to go before the Provincial Government every time Point Grey wants some favors, and show .good and sufficient cause as to why they should not bo granted, ���������o Effort! Being Made to Prejudice Public Opinion���������Beware Fictitious Advertising���������Protect Public < Domain. ��������� ������������������/'*��������� * "The child of political iniquity" is perhaps the beat description of the Deadman's Island scheme. This question has been before the public' ever since February, 1899, to a greater or. lesser degree. Last year the Privy Council decided that the CITY'S claim to the Island was technically unsound, which decision for the time being settles the dispute between the city and those who are behind the alleged lease. ��������� ' Our object is to draw to the attention of the pubjic the facts as regards the original granting of the alleged lease by the late Minister of Militia of the Laurier administration. ���������. - On the' 20th January, 1899, Joe Martin wrote to the Militia Department, on behalf of Ludgate, asking, for, the Island. In his .letter Mr. Martin stated that the City Council and citizens were in. favor of'the projeet. This was known to be incorrect, because Ludgate had seen Jas. Garden, the mayor, who had objected to anything^ the kind. On February 3rd, 1899, Theo. Ludgate made application for a lease. This lease was issued by the Minister within eleven days (February 14tb>>.| The Minister wrote the city about February 8th, asking their opinion, but before the council had received the letter the minister had granted the lease. : .' >���������/ .y y x. . -.,-, . /;::^". -x,.-- y- v The minister also asked the chief commanding officerhis opinion, who (on February 8th) replied, strongly opposing the granting of the lease. The minister also wrote the admiral commanding at Esquimalt for his opinion, and in his (the minister's) letter he said there was great heed for haste, which was rather an extraordinary condition for a government official to find himself in. v ~ ;y The lease was granted, as stated, within eleven days* of application, but TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ORDER-IN-COUNCn; AUTHORIZING IT WAS MADE. This again demonstrates the anxiety of the parties interested to get throughwith the business. As soon as the city authorities knew what was going on they held a meeting and dispatched a delegation to'Ottawa to present a very strongly worded protest, but this was on March 9th, a month after the application was made. This is a remarkably short time to get word and to call a council meeting and actually have a delegation in Ottawa' within a month, BUT not swift ! enough for the political tricksters who were back of the game. When Joe Martin observed the terrific outburst of popular opinion against the government's action in granting the lease, and its possible effect, he advised the government to so amend its grant of Stanley Park to the city so as to make the Ludgate lease valid beyond question. This request of Joe's is significant in two respects���������first, it demonstrates that in his (Martin's) opinion Deadman's Island belonged to the city at that time; second, it demonstrates that the representation in his letter of January 20th, that the city favored his application, was absolutely incorrect, and the natural conclusion is, if the minister was influenced by that statement then the whole thing ia based on false representations and should not be recognized. Such ia the early history of the "DEAL'V-one of the finest examples of political piracy ever pulled oft* in this city. ��������� , y , But the same general course haa been followed, since. M*. Ludgate admitted in Ottawa last winter that he had agreed with Col. Sam. Hughs* th* present Minister of Militia, that, pending a settlement, he WOULD NOT CUT DOWN THE TREES, and that he would maintain the Island as a park, if permitted to develop the waterfront. In any case it was definitely agreed'that the tree's would not be cut. Col. Hughs had scarcely turned his back on Vancouver before this outfit, Kinman, Ludgate, et al., cut down those magnificent trees and turned the picturesque little Island into an-unsightly eyesore. This act waa absolutely unwarranted and was pure vandalism and , spite work.. The object was to destroy the beauty of the Island in order to change public opinion, ajap to create evidence of possession. 'A more.;,reprehensible act cannot well be conceived; it was inexcusaoie, and ohl^ behind this "DEAIj." In our opinion, they have forfeited all right to consideration at the hands of the public and should be shown none. ,, / Another illustration of their methods was given in the publication recently of a plan, with the statement that the Norton-Griffiths Company were interested;. This was PURE FACTION generated deliberately by Kinman. Norton-Griffiths were never identified with the scheme at all. Kinman took the plans into Norton-Griffiths' office at 11 a.m. one morning, asking them to "look them over." The Province was on the street in about two hours with a cut of the plans published and a ''story." Norton-Griffiths did nothing, nor were ever connected with the scheme, and just as soon as the "STORY" was published, Kinman came and took his plans away. The whole thing was a ^clever advertising dodge and a subtle way to secure the use of the name of a reliable firm like Norton-Griffiths to give an inr of respectability to it. And so the game goes on, but Deadman's Island belongs to the public, and the public must and shall have it. Epitome of Prof. J. Odium's Address Delivered nt Anti-Home Rule Meeting, Dominion mM������y7th.Wa, H. H. Stevens. M. P., left last night for Ottawa to, Icok after Vancouver's interests". ThJt is an important problem that has come before the Empire, once more in a concrete form. All hoheat men are no doubt trying to find the best solution. The two factions arrayed in antagonism most prominently and determinedly are the Roman Catholics and the Protestant Imperialists. ��������� I shall confine myself to a few thoughts tonight as there are two able speakers who are the shining lights of the evening. I am here to open the question rather than give a lengthy address. And yet, though I am to play a secondary part, I feel quite honored to be asked to say a little on a subject so important and far-reaching. \ The highest interests of the Empire are at stake and in the balance as the conflict wages. One party says we shall have Home Rule, and the other says we will not. The first says it is best, and the second says it is worst. We are here to see just where our minds run in the study, and to express our convictions in a concrete manner. Personally I have no quarrel with the Irish Home Rulers, or with the Canadian Irish Home Rulers. My antagonism to Home Rule, as it is demanded, is based in part upon the following reasons, or facts. First :������������������The ablest and most astute Continentals who are in deadly array against Imperial Britain are strong advocates of Irish Home Rule. Any man who follows the press comments of Europe will see that in proportion to Continental antagonism and hate towards Britain, in that proportion Irish Home Rule is supported and advanced. Hence when I find the strongest diplomats and statesmen, who have the strings of statecraft at their fingers' ends, urging and supporting the Irish, I am sure that from an Imperial standpoint Britain should refuse. If Germany and Austria favor home-rule, then Britain would do well not to give it until her whole people have had an opportunity to speak on the question in the clearest terms. Borden saved Canada by*this method. He carried Reciprocity to the people and thereby to its death. The Roman Catholic Stand. Second: It is clear to all readers and students of history that the Roman Catholic church is at the bottom or top of this movement, demanding Home Rule. In this connection we are forced, from our- exact knowledge of the workings and constitution of that political machine, to conclude that since the Roman Catholic church demands Home Rule, the demand, the command, the time, the method, and all most intimately connected therewith have origin at Rome. The Vatican in fact has assumed to control the British House of Commons and the destinies of the Empire. Hence, since this is the most positive interference of an Italian foreigner, one who has no official standing or recognition in or by any country on earth in relation to political affairs, hence, on this count I would say to British statesmen, you are on most dangerous grounds. Do not obey an Italian priest or any number of priests or others who are simply their tools. My strong point here is this: Foreigners have no business meddling with the internal affairs of the Empire, and especially when they undertake to do so as a matter of divine right and superiority. From the pope to the most obedient newspaper of Roman Catholicism, there is the constant and insistent announcement that the Vatican Rule is supreme over and above every earthly rule. Every reading man here tonight knows that this is a fact. And on this ground the pope, through his cardinals, arch-bishops and priests, is demanding Home Rule for Ireland. The New York Catholic World says with authority: "The Roman Catholic is to wield his vote for the purpose of securing Catholic ascendancy in this country. All legislation must be governed by the will of God, unerringly indicated by the pope. Education must he controlled by the Catholic authorities; and under education, the opinions of the individual, and the utterances of the press are included. Many opinions are to be forbidden by the secular arm. under the authority of the church, even to war and bloodshed." The Catholic Times. January 21st. 1910. say.s: "As a matter of fact the Home Rule question is a religious question. We have said this many a time, and Ave repeat it now." This must be true, for it is in perfect harmony with the affirmations *%f popes, cardinals, councils, archbishops, priests and the church as an official institution. Hear Cardinal Manning in a thrilling speech which he made in 1870, to the Third Provincial Synod of Roman Catholic Priests at Westminster, London, England: "It is good for us to be here in England.

Is it Home Rule such as Ontario haa in relation to Canada ? 1 answer, saying, It is not. If it were, it would be very commendable under certain conditions which could not be supplied from the very nature of those making the demand. Is it the kind of Home Rule that each one of tbe States in the United States has, and enjoys! 1 answer again and say, It ia not. Is it the kind of Home Rule that Quebec Province has, and is determined to keep until it can make improvement from its own standpoint? If this were the kind of Home Rule Ireland is asking for, it would be bad enough, but it is not this sort. Is it the kind of Home Rule that Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have? It ia not. If it were this sort, it would not be so bad. But even this kind of Home Rule in the hands of the Irish, dominated, led, directed, ordered, instructed and inspired from a foreign potentate, would be a most dangerous thing to Oreat Britain: for in this ease there would he a strong and restless enemy close at hand in times of international danger. In such a case, Ireland would control her own army and navy, as Canada and Australia are determined lo (lo now and in tiie future.

On one occasion, says a resident, a huge piece of rock was hurled into the air and crashed through the Clarke Drive bridge aB if the bridge had been built of paper, and very few mothers who live ln the neighborhood are tardy enough to allow their children out of doors while blasting operations are being carried on.

Rain fell on six days; frost was present on Ave mornings; seven days were without sunshine. The weather during the month'was the best experienced since the con test started. Brilliant sunshine was reported on every day, excepting the few dull days already enumerated. Blasting is still carried on, and is sufficiently heavy to Interfere very seriously with hatching operations of nearby,, residents/ Several have reported toBses of several sittings so far owing to the explosions. The month Just passed* together with next month, are the periods generally recognized as those in which the heaviest production occurs.. This fact, together with the favorable climatic .conditions which prevailed, accounts for the very creditable records made during the month. In class one, pen 19 claims the distinction of being the first pen In the contest to touch or pass.the century mark. On one occasion 6 eggs were laid in one day, and on six days 5 egga were laid dally, and on six days 4 eggs were produced during each twenty-four hours. Otner pens deserving especial mention are pens 4 (96); 22 (95); 12 (95); 14 (94); 7 (92); 9 (90); 5 (89); 11 (89); 18 (86); 17 (83); 16 (82); 23 (8t). The following pens produced 6 eggs ln one day: 16, twice; 17, 1, 7, 9, 4, once each. In this month's standing Pen 19 goes up three places, pen' 5 displaces pen 10 for fifth position, pen 12 moves up two notches,'pen 18 ousts pen .6, and pen 1 drops Ave places. Pen 8 deserves special mention for producing 75 eggs with only five pullets throughout the month. The first case of broodlness among Class One occurred during the month, pen 10 furnishing a pullet. In Class Two the pens producing the largest number of eggs were: Pens 32 (102); 29 (90); 38 (87); 39 (87); and 28 (77). Pen 40 managed to hold sixth place, but by the appearance of the pullets their performances during the first three or four" months seems to have completely exhausted their laying powers. > The liBtless manner iu which they move about indicates lack of constitution and staying.power. The following pens laid 6 eggs in one day: 29, 32, 37 and 38. Broodlness was responsible for the following birds' removal from the pen during the month: Pen 25 (3 birds); 29 (4); 30 (1); 31 (2); 35 (1); 36 (1); 37 (1); 39 (4). All the runs were swept and litter cleaned out during the month. Each run was also partly dug up. Green food in the shape of clo vefT chick-weed and dandielion is supplied regularly, and much relished by all the birds. The fowls in Class One consume more green food than the fowls in the heavy class. W. H. Stroyan, J. R. TERRY, Superintendent. Secretary. Humor and Philosophy ���������r 9VMCAM ft.

It haa been **��������� timated that, If all'the moisture resident in the upper 100 feet of the ground were collected, the amount would be the equivalent of a lake of water some 17 feet deep. I. e., the equivalent of about 7 years' rainfall During periods or plant growth, this ground-water- yields^ chiefly by capll lary acttton, part of Its moisture to the plants; and then, during seasons of excessive rainfall, Is again replenished from the rainfall.

The municipal board of works were severely criticized by President Black for what he termed its delay ln carrying out the proposed Improvements on Westminster Road. Thousands of dollars were being spent ln the improvement of the west 'end of the municipality, but tbe east end was unable to get any work done at all. Councillor Elliott stated ln reply that the entire council was working to have Westminster Road paved Immediately, and that when this highway was finished River Road would be dealt with. A permit for the erection of stores, with an apartment house over, at 866-. 70 Broadway East, to cost $11,000, has been taken out by Mr. Peter Paul- man. Work will be commenced at once.

OWEN X 2337 Main Street - Phone Fairmont 447 ������������������ A Day With the " Doones" and Black- more. All lovers of Blackmore who have read "Lorna Doone," and who has once read that romance that has not been enthralled with the /glamour ot the terrible doones, the beauty of the fair Lorna and desired .to visit the scenes of that famous story of Devonshire daring? " Few, Indeed, who have read the booh, but what have wished that they might visit tbe "Doone Valley" and view the scenes of the "girt Ian Ridds' exploits,1 inspect "Baggary Water," see the famous water gate, taste the Snow prize butter, an dmaybe catch a glimpse of the Snow girls a-dalrylng amid.the Snow meadows, tbat produced the famous butter, so envied by John's mother because it always fetched half-a-cent a p"ound more than her's did. It may be a surprise to Western Call Lorna Dooners to know that old Nicholas Snow is still allvje���������or was when the writer visited tbe famous valley. The world is small at time, and It once happened that, being in company with a party of ladies on the outskirts of London, they began to talk "Dem- shtir," and the writer discovered that one of them was a niece of the famous old yeoman, the original of the Lorna Doone Snow, who at the time was still farming below "Baggery Water" ln the parish of Oare, Devonshire, A vow was there and then registered that if ever the writer BUould find himself within twenty miles of Jan Rldds' parich he would certainly visit and pay his respects to Nicholas Snow. The years rolled by with the promise unfulfilled, but not. forgotten. It thus came about upon one bleak night that I found myself on top of Her Majesty's Mall between Barnstaple and Lynton, Devon. - r How 1 got there is another story of bargaining and coaxing tbwards breaking the rules against carrying of passengers; but I must not give away these things. When one's objective is such an out- of-the-way place as the "Doone Valley" ���������or as It. was before the days of tbe Lynton Barnstaple Railway���������the one thing to do is to get there���������somehow. After fa whirlwind journey the village of Lynton was'duly reached, and the quiet shelter of the Castle Inn was fully appreciated. The next day I tell in with a touring Scot, to whose national sense of thrift, ���������! my announcement that I meant to "pad the hoof" to the Doone valley���������now twelve miles up the Lynn���������appealed so strongly that he offered to accompany me, If only to save a coach fare, his niece's name roused old Nicholas to instant Devonshire hospitality. "Coom in; coom ye in and have a bite. Somezider? Thirsty, bain't ee?" Very welcome proved the Snow hospitality, set forth In a long low dining- room, tbe solid pollBhed oak table bare of any covering save its own gloss, la which shone reflected the sllyer goblets of old Carlovlan pattern. Just aa they were in "JanV own day. Due justice being done the spread, the following conversation took place: Myself: "Now, Mr. Snow, of course you feel very proud to belong to the land o( the 'Doones' ana to be mentioned .in Blackmore's book?' A far from encouraging reply was vouchsafed "I wish he'd never wrote It." Myself: "But surely you feel fine by being immortalized In it?" Only brought the answer with rising heatr "1 tell ye It's a passel o* lies, and not wan word o' truth all dru It." Myself: "Surely It must bring a certain fame, and heaps of visitors?" "Ya, as it du that, a breaking down aidgeB (hedges) and tearing gaps all auver (over) the vara; he should never have wrote It." Poor Blackmore! Such Is fame in one's own country! Proceeding back a part of the way we had come, with a last look at the little grey church of Oare, we reached Badgworthy Mill and here engaged a couple of steeds for the long climb up the Doone valley? ��������� Farmer Snow's lunch had put walking out of the question. Upon the walk my Scotch companion had been beguiling me with prowess of horsemanship and daring with chase and hound of his father's own Scotch kennels. I therefore, out of politeness, offered htm the sleekest, and beat groomed of tha two ponies to ride, but Sandy would none of him. I Choosing tha smaller peppery little roan, we started off, I leading along] a narrow winding path far up above tbe banks of Baggery. The little roan behind kept trying to push past me and came near hurtling me over a rocky, precipitous path to the affiaajii far below. I did not much fancy a roll down Baggery steep sides and kept asking Sandy to take the lead, but at length reaching the open sward of the Doone'valley, which Is a pleasant, fair green slope rising up from the Water Gate for about three- quarters of a mile, the ponies started off at a gallop of their own. A party of gaily dressed ladles I had noticed were picnicking down among tbe ruins of the shepherds' huts; away went pur steeds full pelt towards them.

Then, paying our reckoning at the Inn, after a good breakfast, in which Devon speckled trout^ Junket and Devonshire cream played a part, we sei out. The morning was dull and threatened rain, the path somewhat tortous, winding along the banks of the bubbling Lynn, amid beautiful woody glades until Watersmeet was reached. Exploring the beauties of that famous spot consumed tome little time, and so we rested upon a shingly bank watching the swirling waters making play of light and shade over mossy rocks, then dying away Into quiet dreamy pools with a murmuring cadence that made up a sight and sound that lingered long ln our memory. ���������At length, after another good stout walk, we reached the Snow household and there met in the flesh that fine old yeoman himself. Exchanging greetings, we made our errand known, but the presentation of around the neck sallor-fashlon, was carried, a most undignified figure, right into the picnic party's midst, to their exceeding mirth. When the giggles had subsided, I explained that my Wend was really more used to the Scotch style of riding, but we heard no more of my father's horse and hound upon the road home. So, as the day declined, we turned and left the Doone valley the way we had come, with its memories of the fair Lorna thick upon us, and walking by the bubbling Lynn at night, I again conjured up the scenes Blackmore portrayed so well. The autumn moon rose slowly up between the steep glades of the banks, and, leaving the whispering foliage topped in deep shadow, shone through many A gnarled and gleaming woody aisle; turning to liquid silver all the fair tracery of nature's own arburial vaulting���������thus our day with the Doones ended. -JANR1DD -TRY- BAND'S 2611 MAIN STREET, BETWEEN Mik nnd UtH ************************** ************************* For good values in REAL ESTATE ANP INVESTMENTS .Call on ITR1MELE & NORR1S Cor.

One manufacturer says he has sold over 4500 silos, and no doubt all manufacturers have done a bigger business than ever before, says the National Stockman. The shortage of hay has had a good deal to do with this, of course, but aside from that the silo has been steadily growing in favor for years. There is at present a marked tendency to utilise the silo for summer feeding. The milk that passes through a separator Is equally as healthful as It was before It passed through, except that the removal of the butter fat obviously makes it less suited to the needs of the calf. Bloat and scours are more liable to be caused by skim milk than by whole milk, as the former does not' quite so fully agree with the digestive organs. Separator skim milk from a creamery should be pasteurized before it is fed to either calves or pigs, as the milk from the herdB of some of the patrons may carry germs of tuberculosis. The milk Is no more dangerous ln this respect after passing through the separator than before.��������� Inland Farmer. The covered, barnyard Is rapidly coming into favor, as a commodity to the farmer and dairyman. Built Jn any length and dimensions desired, In having this the dairyman, and farmer haa his cattle insured against all 'inclemency of the weather at all times. Though left out in yard for exercise, no matter what the season, the cattle are under shelter. The manure also is left In the best possible condition and can be hauled out at any time daring the winter when It Is proper ��������� that It ahould be hauled out in the fields, as U does not freeze under cover, which Is a great advantage in It* self. The straw also Is utilised to the vary bast advantage; Whether he threshes from the barn or from the field, the farmer has his straw deposited In the capacious mow of bis covered barnyard through doors opening tm all sides. Dry straw, available ajt all times. Is certainly a boon to any farmer who has this advantage to his credit..'

It is equal t^ about one-eighth of the entire area now under cultivation In the United States, and therefore without a resort to Intensive farming, (which Is. however, tha farming of_ the future), this country can support, without any tear of hunger or privation, a very much larger population than we are likely to see In our day.-���������Farm Journal. Do not sell those large, fine pullets this fall. They are the winter layers. Get rid of tbe small backward birds. True, tbey do not weigh as much as, the others; but also, it Is only too true���������the small ones will not lay before March and April. Comfortable shelter goes a long way towards making dairying pay.' Tbe stable should be fairly warm, entirely dry. aa light as possible, and contain dry bedding all the time. Plenty ot bedding helps to save the manure, and this is worth lots. Since some of the characteristics of the stalk and how the -ear hangs on it are to be taken into consideration, the seed may be selected from the field with better results than when taken from the crib when ready for] planting. A box nailed to the front end of the wagon into which every likely looking ear, is thrown when husking the corn, is a method practiced by many, but it is much better to go through the field row by row, selecting such ears as appear to-conform to the desired type. These ears are husked at once and those which have the desired size and shape of grain are put away in a dry place, where they may again be sorted over when ready to shell ln the spring. In selecting corn from the field, only those ears should be picked which grow at a reasonable position on-the -stalk. Ears which grow too low or too high should be discarded as should likewise those having very long or very short shanks.

Crop Rotation is Crop Co operation. Rotation includes crops that prepare the land for the next crop.. In continuous grain-growing, weeds, insects; and : plant, diseases are , encouraged.: Wheat, not being a fighter like these; gets the worst of the battle. "Letting weeds grow in grain is like feeding a hog and a lamb in the same trough." ---J. H. Worst. :;: 2. Crop Rotation Keeps Up ''���������\..::JF8^ii^.v'.-::-'---. :,;v:/; Alfalfa and clover enrich the soil In nitrogen and. humus. Grasses add humus. Corn nukes plant food available. Manure, la the best fertiliser. V Crop Rotation Eradicates Wssds. The cultivation 6?ve^ corn and potatoes kills weeds/ Alfalfa, grasses and clover crowd out weeds and prevent their seeding. The owner of an apple orchard In Spokane has constructed an apparatus)] with which he hopes to rid his orchard of ^be codling moth. He uses electric incandescent lamps, surrounded by a metal netting, which is charged with electricity. The moths, attracted by the light, strike the wire and are Instantly killed. The cost of the storage battery and lamps is comparatively small. The apple crop of central Illinois tfiis year is phenomenal. Trees are heading under the burden of fruit and a very large proportion of the crop will never be harvested. Many prch- ardiats, unable to get pickers, are turn- ������iik tbe hogs in. While the product of Illinois orchards has never been slow la respect to flavor, there has seldom been such an immense yield or such unusual size. Not. only have the trees produced more in most instances than f-.'ae limbs .could support, but the size has also been abnormal. It is not practicable for every farm- j er to follow the scientific methods of plant breeding as practiced by many of the growers of seed, but any farmer can select his own seed corn and j (.hereby improve the quality and yield, j 4. Crop Rotation Eliminates T Plant Diseases arid Insects. Each plant disease lives on a certain crop, dotation removes that crop for a few years, so that the plant disease starves out. Insects likewise prefer certain crops. a. Crop Rotation Saves Moifturs. The cultivation given corn and potatoes saves moisture. The humus added by alfalfa, grasses, clover and manure increases tbe water-holding capacity of the soil. The enriched soil haa a more concentrated solution of plant food, consequently the planta need less water! to make a given growth. -..';���������'- \y ,��������� *. Crop Rotation Decreases tha Drifting of the Sell. The humus added by the alfalfa, grasses, clover and manure holds the soil grains together. This prevents drifting, Just as the bunch of shingles will not blow, but when the band Is cut the wind carries the shingles away one by one.. 7. Crop Rotation with Live ttocK the Most Profitable. In feeding crops to stock the product secured is worth from twice to several times as, much 'as the crop. The capital, work and expense needed in feeding the crop is not as great as that required ln producing It. From this it is plain that tbe most profitable part ot farming is stock-raising. . 8. Crop Rotation Distributes Work. In grain growing the work bunches. This makes the labor -expensive, inefficient and har'd to secure. When crops are rptated the work Is spread over a longer season. v Competent help is then more easily secured at reasonable prices. 9. Crop Rotation is Crop Insurance. Rotation of crops brings Increased returns and returns every year, favorable or unfavorable, and continuously through the year. In grain growing the returns grow less and come only at threshing time. Some years threshing time never comes. 10. Crop Rotation's Better Returns. Necessitate more manufacturing, more transportation, more banking, more merchandising, more professional work. Keeps more boys and girls on the farm, and Brings better farming, better roads, better homes, better living. The products of the farm are the foundation and measure of commerce, industrv, prosperity and happy homes. \ * HORSE LORE.

The harder and faster the work a horse bas to do the more nutritious, the stronger and more liberal must be his food. The colt when once baiter broken should be gradually accustomed to tbe bit and in succession to all other parts of the harness.

English Brssd , Noted Per Hardinsss and Freedom Prom Diiaass. At the present time tbe Romney Marsh, or Kentish sheep, as they are commonly called, are comparatively Uttle known In the United States. There are. to be sure, some fine flocks of-these splendid animals, but when their excellent qualities become better known the Writer believes their number will increase very rapidly, writes EL K. Parkinson in Farm and Fireside. With the object ot studying the good and bad poirit8 of Romney Marsh sheep.and with a view toward the practicability of increasing our flocks in the states the writer made recently a most Interesting trip Into Kent county. England, which Is the native heath of this breed and where every farmer; as a matter of course, owns a flock of these sheep. A ewe seen yielded fourteen pounds of greasy wool when ten months old, and several stud rams were seen whose average wool clip was seventeen and one-half pounds of washed wool (twenty-five pounds of greasy wool). ' The hardiness of these Kentish sheep may be realised from the fact that the writer saw a flock of 100 ewes sum* mering in a t;wenty-four acre pasture which, . owing to a two months' drought, was covered so thickly with manure that it\was difficult to step in any direction without stepping Into It, and yet the sheep looked and felt Well ted. On the great Romney marsh. In Kent county, where these sheep are raised by the thousand, they are run ten *mm**mmm*^mm*^**^*jM**MM*m~^^^*mk*^^^^^^**^^^^^^^*^m^^^ Tb* chief cbsreettrJstlo of Rom* nsy ante? Is hsrdlMss.

Lastly, they yield large quantities of wool of # good quality. Ths ram shown. Is ������typical Romney Marsh and was a prist winner last year. He was sold for *!������. sheep te the acre.1' This wonderful marsh, however, Is noted for its rlcn and abundant pasturage, which baa been cropped continuously for ban* dreds of years, yet tbe flocks pastured there live entirely on grass tbe year around. Tbe best specimens of Marsh Sheep have deep bodies, heavy bones, very good heads well covered,with .wool and large, thick ears. The ewes lamb about tbe 1st of February, and the number of twins where the soil is fertile Is large. In England, where sbeep are to be seen on every bsud snd' are always kept under tbe eye of tbe master, they are very docile and essy to manage. A boy of sixteen, wltb a dog. will keep a large flock well In band while feeding on tbe wheat stubble or while driving tbem to market l Those of us who sre Interested In Improving our flocks or Importing fresh blood will, the writer believes, do well to consider the Romney Marsh breed before making any other choice. ;��������� Th* Hard Milking Cow,. . It Is important when milking the entire herd to determine as to whether they are all milking In a normal-condition or not A . hard milking cow may create more disturbance and annoyance ln the management of a herd than most anything else that might afflict them. If a cow or heifer be found to be a bard milker she should be given the proper treatment to overcome this difficulty, which is a very simple treatment consisting of inserting a teat ping into the hard milking teats once or twice daily for a number of days. This will soon expand tbe contracted sphincter and permit the cow to milk ln a nice, easy, normal condition, oftentimes Increasing the value of the animal, thas paying the owner for this little extra trouble. Value of Ensilage. i To the np to date and progressive dairyman and to tbe most advanced cattle feeders the use of the siio and the feeding of ensilage are recognized as being necessary to the greatest success ln their respective lines of business. ��������� i TIME TO AID WOUNDED TREES Use Cement Bandages and Preserve the " Glorious Old Green Pyramids. Late August i������ the time to watch your valuable old shade and fruit trees. Watch for the hollow trunk, the broken Itmh or tbe ex|Hised wound where fungi may enter and ruin the stately old friend. , ,*;.: . From any wound remove all the decayed wood, wltb a chisel and adz. to the sound, hard wood,' and smooth off the edges of the cavity to allow the free growth of tbe Inner bark. After tbe cavity has been thoroughly cleaned out disinfect it with corrosive sublimate,, creosote or even paint Creosote is better, as it penetrates farther into the wood. The cavity should now be filled with concrete, one part Portland cement to two parts sand. Make it thin, so that It can be poured In at the top of the opening. When the cavity is large It is necessary to re-enforce the concrete by,placing iron bars across tbe inside. It Is also best to drive large nails part way In around tbe Inside, and this enables'the concrete to adhere better to tbe trunk. . As the filling shrinks considerably in large cavities the walls should be first coated with a thick layer of tar. This expands and fills the shrinkage crack, making the cavity air tight There is now no chance for any disease to enter and get in its work. After,the filling has set a Uttle the surface should be smoothed off even with the Inner bark, ln a few years the cambrium will completely cover the filling, making a good looking tree.

There they threw themselves on the ground, soaked to the bone and panting heavily. "What now?

Beyond the tlm- r the open country rolled down towards the Fraser and the dawn had came. "It'e our only chance and a slhn one. It's got to be that cherry patch" Al aald. pointing out to the open. "There ain't another place ln sight as would give us a show," and he set off running again at top speed for a Uttle four-cornered, patch of wild cherry bush, about a thousand yards from the timber. It looked about as bad a place to bold against an enemy as you could Imagine, lying as It did In a hollow and containing nd timber big enough to serve as a shield sgainst rifle bullets; but tbere was nothing bettor In sight, and It bad just one thing In Its favor. For seven or eight hundred yards at leaat on one side, and for seven or eight miles oil every other side, there was no cover of any kind larger than tbe thin bushes ot sage brush and the patches of bunch grass. A coyote might have crawled through that unseen. It, seemed impossible that anything else should. Realizing that -at any^ moment their enemies might reach the edge of the timber, Rolt -and bis companions raced over the space intervening between the pines and the cherry bush at headlong speed. When Rolt crashed Into tbe edge of the cherry patch he had not another yard of running .power left in him. With a feeling tbat h had not known since he had wen the quarter at Rugby, he dropped where he. was and lay still. "Euchred them so far," panted Al. cheerfully, "and now I guess well take some killing. Out wltb your jack knives, boys, and I'll show you a trick as I learned of the Crees," and he began to hack down the boughs and young trees all round him, building with them a kino* of "wlcky up," or small circular bothy, such as Indians use for bath houses. Over the top of this he threw IiIb blanket, which he lied carried strapped to- bis back until then, and over that again he piled loose soil and soda, keeping a nervous eye all the time on the edge of tbe timber. "Chuck your coat over your sticks if you-haven't got a blanket," he said to Rolt, "and_ then fix it this way," and be went down on his knees and ( ._ .*> going to "bury a "bone. Ait'the earth he took out he piled upon the blanket, throwing with It moss and leaves and small boughs, until when he had finished with It It looked like a great ant heap Just sufficiently within the cover ot the brush to save It from detection. . Then he lent Rolt a hand with his mound, ordering the boys to do the same at their respective corners, and "8hove boys; shove like hell. If you ever want to eat bull, beef any more. They ain't here yet, but they can't be long now." . When men are working for their lives It is marvellous how much can be done in a minute, and these men, knowing how much depended upon their Speed, had their shelters finished, when a tow "hist".from Al sent them all Into their holes like rabbits into their borrows. - There was no sign of Indians that Rolt could see, but as Al lay motionless he Imitated blm, and> for a full fifteen minutes'sJnjost. held bis breath to his burrow. :���������������'.' At the-end of that time he heard a voice behind him, and turning, saw Al lying at full/ Uftgth In the scrub, calmly whittling a pipeful of tobacco. "They can't see me here," be said. "I'm too far back in the scrub. Have you got your bury good and deep. Keep a whittling of It out so as you can lie low and the bullets'U go over you. Savvy?

The Chinook wind which bad been blowing before midnight had dripped, and In tbe last hours ot darkness had been' succeeded by a crisp clear air with more than a'suspicion of frost Id It, so that when the dawn came, it spread through skies of such rare lucidity as are never seen except in high northern lands. 0 Along, the horizon the light grew gradually, until in the east the havens were of a pale lemon color, so clear, so utterly fine and transparent; that the gloom,ot the rigid barrier of pines' hurt the eye wltb Its contrast of stiff solidity. i Even the pine belt itself was not quite proof against the dawn. The tops ot it were touched with a pale glory and. though the gloom of the black boughs swallowed up the light that struck them, a bole here and tbere was caught by It and brightened with a wash of tenderest golden grey. But tbe prairie welcomed the dawn, which flooded its frost-touched sage brush, so that It rolled in sheets of sparkling silver, from the pines to the cherry patch and away beyond as far as the eye could see towards tbe still shadowy bed of the Fraser. The dawn hsd made all things plain, had emphasised every outline: the peace of it called attention to every least sound which might break tbe holy stillness of the waking day, and yet Rolt, listening in his burrow, could not bear so much as the breaking of a twig, or see s sign of life in the direction from which he had fled. Most of the events to which we look forwsrd In life (snd probably in death), either with desire or dread, are curiously unlike our forecasts of them. A battle upon either a large or small. scale is no exception to this rule. Men laugh In the crisis of a life and death struggle, and in the last South African war a volunteer,, told off as one of the escort of a big gun, remembers only of Splon Kop that it was fought on a "jolly" day, that the weather and the smooth grass slop ;s suggested pink parasols and picnic hampers; that there were funny little balloon-like puffs rising at intervals from the ridge opposite to that on which he lay; that the sun was warm and comforting, and that some confounded fellow woke him up with the toe of a ..service boot when"'the battle waB over and it was time to take the gun home. It was with Rolt as it was with that yeoman. After Al's departure he worked feverishly at the making of his burrow, expecting every moment to hear the hum of bullets through the- scrub over head, but no bullets came, and at last, even with his jack knife, he had managed to scrape out a hollow ample enough to contain his body. . Then he lar In lit and watched, until the minutes grew into an hour, and tbe dawn into young day, without any sign of life showing itself upon the be"gan"to'sc������teh *ttkhla knlfojlke ajiidscape, except ������ coyote, shadowy ra cog who ���������>'.*"'""* ��������� and utterly noiseless, who came stealing down from the hills, until he was nearly midway between the pines and the cherry patch. There he checked sharply, his nose went up and his brush dropped, and wheeling ln hiB tracks, he went back at a lope to the nearest rising ground, on which he stood awhile reconnoitring. , Something in the country displeased blm, for after a prolonged survey he loped back the way he had come. The coyote's behavior was" suggestive ot suspicion, but a little broad- winged hawk which poised in the clear air or swung noiselessly overhead with a keen eye ^ for mice or beetles, contradicted the habitually suspicious vagabond. I'������������������'->���������..: Rolt found it Impossible to remain strung up to concert pitch for ever to such an atmosphere ot peaceful beauty, just as the half alarmed buck does, when pitted against the everlasting patience of his hunter, and was actually dosing when a voice behind him asked: "Have you* got your Holland along with you to-day, Boss?'* Bolt started, but though only halt awake., hsd sense-enough to He still. / ~ "Yes," he said, without turning. "It's good for long shooting, ain't it?" ��������� '"It's sighted for five/hundred yards." "I guess that's good enough. Do you see that yallerlsh looking bunch of sage brush, the biggest in sight, away, there to the right? Jest perforate H. will you?" - Rolt raised bis rifle, and looked questlonlngly at old. Al, whosje head was now along-side his, own. The old man noddeH, and Rolt adjusting his sights to the five hundred yards range,- cuddled down' on his rifle. J- .'.\----x; "fclgb or low?" he asked. "I gueee it's most solid near the bottom," chuckled AI. - - Then Rolt drew a long breath, for a moment there was absolute silence; and then a Uttle puff of dust fifty yards beyond the sage brush, recorded the fact that the foresight had be: n ' taken too full. A few sprigs of the yellow weed fell,' but otherwise there . was no sign from, tbe bush. "Sits stillsr. nor a fool hen," commented Al. "Try her lower BtlH, Boss." ' Rolt took the' same bead again, but this time he took It upon the very base of his target. .At his second shot the bush which he had watched for an hour became alive. A horrid scream followed the Impact of his bullet and ln place of the Uttle fountain of gild- en dust, a man's body sprang high into the air and then'pitched headlong on the near side of tne bush writhing and tying itself Into,knots amongst the branches of the withered rage-brush. "Must be quite a holler ther; a'most as good aa thia one of ourn. 1 seed htm earning from the time he started. Holy smoke!" Al's ejaculation was the result of a perfect blizzard of bullets which suddenly borat upon the cherry patch, cutting the feeble brush Into ribbons and tatters and making the defenders crouch in tbelr lairs like frightened rabblte. ���������.."���������������������������..- , "Fire a good many shote tor fifteen Injuns," growled Al. "Mker fifty. It's the hull Cbllcoten tribe, Wank 'em," and then rising recklessly to his knees, he roared.'Turn It loose, boya. Don't let the, 'beggars' get away." and he emptied the jMsgssine of his repeater with a rlntdity which would have done credit to. a machine, gun. ' Five minutes earlier the Boss had tired of watching the motionless sage brush over which the hawk had swung and from which that coyote had retreated so promptly, and now whilst the rifles rattled and tbe smell of powder tainted the air, there were a doseo wild figures dashing from it for the pine belt.. Only two of tbemvfell, and one of these got, to his feet again and was hauled Into cover by his fellows. "Blanked bad shobtln'. Say. Ross, that shot of yours turned on the bull bloomln' orchestra. How many did you git?" < ."I'm afraid I did not touch one of them." "Guess /you're better at sitters. Didn't you spot any of 'em before I told you to shoot at that brush? Lord! I've been watching that fellow over there for nigh on *to an hour. It's lucky as I didn't wait for bim to come in range of my old shootin' Iron." "Why, what difference would It have made?" "All the difference between living and dying. They'd have rushed us ln another ten minutes, and shooting as we did, they" would have got in. But I reckon they won't try that game any more for awhile." Rolt sincerely hoped that they would not, or that if they did old Al's j eyes would keep watch for them, 1c ' his own eyes he bad lost all confl ,' dence. 1 For a long time silence fell again ! between the pistes and the cherry ��������� trees. There was no sound, but for I the crack of an occasional twig as one ' of the defenders moved uneasily in bis narrow shelter; no movement ex- i cept from tbat twisted figure by the sage bniBb. It was a long time before that became quite still, and Rolt was thankful when that time came. j Before the attempted rush the sage ' brush hsd been equally still, and the ! memory of that fact so worried Rolt \ that he now Megan to Imagine enemies j In the most ridiculous grass patches. { He was beginning to lose his sense of J proportion and imagination magnified the most absurd trifles. It was a relief when a single shot broke the strain of long waiting. The bullet dropped about a couple of hundred yards from the cherry patch and rlcochetted through the highest branches of It. There was a slight pause and then a second shot from ! the same spot in tbe timber, the bullet dropping this time a hundred ya'rds nearer -Al's screen. "Jest so," muttered Al. who had again crawled to Rolt's side, "and the next will -be nearer, still. They are getting our range now. Had ought to have done that the first (go off. I guess there'll be no room here for two now. Lie low, boys, it's goin' to >storm again," snd he crawled back to his own position just as it began again to hail bullets. For a good quarter of an hour the Indians in the timber kept up a steady stream of independent firing, as if they would fill up that little hollow with lead or reap the thin cover in It with their concentrated firer but though their bullets cut down the standing brush as'if it had been slash- oould fire again, as his fellow-creature collapsed ln a heap and lay still. ilea fighting for their lives have no sentiment, and' perhaps Al never bad much at any time.

Neither did they attempt to reply. "Don't stir, boys, and don't shoot back." commanded Al. When they think they're-killed every insect in this bloomin' brush patch, they'll maybe try some other racket. Then we'll get our work In." \ CHAPTER XXI. The Indians were very thorough In their work of destruction, and thanks to the looting of Rolt's , store-house they had plenty' of ammunition to spare, but at last even they were satisfied. , ' The cherry patch looked like a field after.- a Manltoban hail storm, and there could have been little doubt In the Chllcoten's minds that anything, that had sheltered In it was as dead as Julius Caesar. But being Indians tbe elected to run no.risks. When the firing ceased a sound of chopping began, and' Rolt who should have known better. Imagined that the coldblooded brutes were" going to* teed before picking up their blrdst but he misjudged tbem. An Indian Is sufficiently cold-blooded, but not on the hunting trail; or tine war path. Then he thinks a great deal less of his belly than does a white man under similar circumstances. Before long 'a great tree crashed down, and before the sound of its fall had died away, they saw the top of another lean slowly oyer, hang for a moment, and, then _ disappear In a spray of shattered boughs and pine neediest Three fell in all, and SU1L the chopping went on. Then for the first time Rolt noticed what looked like a great saw. log just outside the line of the pine trees, lying parallel with thai line, and as he noticed it two'more came to Join It. There was no doubt that they came; he saw them emerge slowly, like, some footless monsters, moving sideways down the hill. ������. ���������,!��������� '������������������-;������������������ Ah, here they come! They're get- tin' dawn to business at last. That's ihore-like Cree flgbtin'l I wouldn't have thought tbat they knowed so much." muttered Al. But at first Rolt, who'had not Al's experience, did hot understand, and the sight, of those three great pine; logs creeping down abreast, apparent-' ly by their own volition, "was> very horrible. r ,, -. From time to time a rifle tpft redly from the timber, but tor {b^ Wet part the slow progress of the ma* down the sloping prairto waa" mine In absolute silence. The, - sun. ~ creeping across the heavens seemed to move fastoT than they did. ��������� ' , "We've got to get them .other two over this side.'-' said Al. ' "We can't stop them." pointing to the logs, "and when they get here there'll be a blanked hot time in the cherry pat:h." "Can we spare them? Won't the Indians sneak round from behind?" "Not Jlkely, and If they do we've got to jfifcr#>:'-l guess theylbwipe us out fbfs-time," with which cheering remark he crept *way, returning with Toma. .:"- ��������� . "I've left the other galloot where he wm," be explained. /"He ain't any account as a rifle shot, but he's so plum scared that he'll make a.pretty smart looking m������n. Hulloh! What's got that log?" The centre log bad reached the spot where ATs hat lay, and as it pas:ed over it,, possibly one of tbe hands which propelled the log reached for the derelict "Stetson" which bad been the old, man's pride. At the same time the slope ot tbe prairie Increased suddenly, and this particular log had been trimmed too fine. By nature it bad grown absolutely round, It was a white pine and young, andjherefore smooth and heavy, and the men who had��������� trimmed rt bad taken all theiimbs*oft close to the trunk. The result was that though it had crawled as slowly as Its companions up to this point, as soon as it felt the sharper incline it.began to turn over more freely, each revolution giving additional impetus, until it was obviously rolling. Already it was twenty feet ahead of Its companions, and then for a moment a brown hand showed shove it. Al's rlfhf came to his shoulder, but he was too slow; the-hand disappeared before he could press the trigger. "Look out. Rolt." he cried. "Th*y caln't hold It! itv got away wi:h them! If they cain't stop it, they're our meat, sure." and he eto d up r. ck- Icssly to get a better chance with hia rifle. Faster and faster came the log, and again a hand showed, and this time an arm and shoulder with it. aud the old roan fired, but the arm, broken at 'h������ wrist, had fallen behind the log. before bis bullet chipped the bark of it. "Bully for you. Rolt. I take it all back about them sitters." But Rolt did not even smile. His lips were thin now and .set, and his eyes were glued to that log, whilst he held his rifle as men hold tbelr guns at the pigeon traps at Hurlingham. ' If the.covering party in the timber had been able to hit a haystack at seven hundred yards, the fate of Al and Rolt would have been sealed, for In the excitement of the moment both men stood up, every thought intent upon their pray, utterly regardless of the leaden bees which hummed harmlessly past them. And then the expected happened. Four men however desperate cannot hold a green pine tree from behind when it1begins to roll, and realizing this, one of the Indians let go and bolted back towards the timber. He fell with Rolt's' bullet between his shoulders and Al's through his thigh before he had gone a dozen paces. The others held on for one more breathing sr.ace, and then the log broke clean away from them, rolling i merrily down the hill, whilst three miserable devils writhed in the sage brush in the vain hopo of hiding from the white men's ��������� withering volley. One wretch ran perhaps for fifty, yards with an arm swinging help"es=-- ly from his sripulder as he ran, ar d they saw him wince and stumble as a second bullet touched him. "Outer to me, Boss," shouted AI. pumping up another cartridge, ''bull to you." he added, regretfully, before he TO~fae* ts* iftrwr dar. Ho bad hardly fierce white face.

"Oh shoot; and be blanked!" he cried, as halt a doxen bullets hummed past him. "It's our turn now. Pull them other traps, caln't you." But the other traps were not pulled. Whilst tbe centre log was betraying Its masters, the two outside logs bad come to a standstill, and so, In spite ot Al's glbfcs and th������ bullets with which he made-chips of them fly. they remained, great, black bars on the prairie, three hundred yards from th-.* cherry patch, whilst the November sun crawled down towards the hort son. Suddenly it dipped into a lo* lying bar of cloud and the light failed ao suddenly that Al noticed xlt. "We've got to hurry. Boss," he ������a!d sinking Into' his place by Rolt's side, and ebaking a spray of blood oft his hand where a bullet bad skinned It, "We caln't Itt them fellows stay ther* after dsBrk." ",��������� ������ / '': "What are we going to' do to pre' vent It? We have lost our horees." 'That's so; but If we stay here well be roasted as soon as it's too dark to shoot. They'll fire the bush on us. sure." '.-..''.:;���������"��������� ���������Well, what Is your plan?" asked Rolt. wearily.

We've got to rush them'first." "All right." "Hold on. 'Taln't time for the last act yet. We've got to play this game according to Hoyle, with all the frills as belongs to It. Fust there's s!ow music from the orchestra, then the light grows kinder dim- and uncertain, then the ghost appears. See?" Rolt. did. see, and he never saw a half-hour in his long life so trying ss that during which he and the other three men/ crouched, like sprinters, waiting tor the start, whilst tho silent/ logs lay motionless in front of them, and one by one the outlines of the prairie grew indistinct, the separae tree tope merged Into each other, and night came. "They might try to get back to Use timber," whispered Al, "and oome on all together later on. It they do. that'll be our time to rash them. Do you mind the scarlet pine?" 'xx^:y "That big tme like,a Scotch fir beyond ,thelr camp?" "~ "All by ita lone on a bluff. Tes,. that's It. We've got to make tor that." "But we should have to go through the whole lot of them to get to It,"." "That's so, but It's the only way a* tbey won't expect us, and It's the short cut to supper. Are you scared to try it? Maybe the folk at the ranch went us as bad as. 1 want my tucker." "You chouse your time and I'll fol tow.*'������������������-.������������������ .- ^ "Twon't do to bunch up, that's the trouble. We'll have to split like a band of prairie chicken, and I'm scared as you'll lose your way." Rolt knew ihat in the darkness ths was only too probable, but there w.r other livesrto.be considered, more pre clous to him than his own. H>o you think I am a kid or a tehee tchako, Al?" He said, angrily. "All right; 1 guess you a'n't, If it comes to thrt; buti keep your hair o as long as they'll let you. Mne fe!��������� almighty loose.

"That's the signal. They're going back," whispered Al. "Are you ready?" and his voice had a shake in It. Even he was excited at last. i Before Rolt could reply the old man Was on his feet. "Com*? on," he cried, and: then, a? he told them afterwards at the ranch, "I'm blessed if I didn't think 1 was standing still." "Though lie had grown too heavy for runiiing long distances.

ODLUM'S ADDRESS (Continued, from Page 1) t Britain has the assurance of the aid of most loyal friends, yea, of loving daughters. But the Irish do not want this, and though As- quit h may give them something of this sort, the Irish leaders tell him and the whole world they are after something quite different. Then what do the Irish Home Rulers ask? They are determined to have just such Home Rule as Japan, Germany and the United States have in relation to Great Britain. They are simply demanding to be a separate and independent kingdom, or republic. This is to be determined at a later date by the will of their masters in Italy and Germany. Berlin and Rome would direct Dublin. The Educational Standard. I would oppose Home Rule aa it is asked because the Education of Ireland would go into the hands of a foreigner who is not too favorable to modern, common school education. y.-.,- The Roman Catholic Irish are behind the Protestant Irish today in their educational standing. But this is not strange for in all Roman Catholic countries Education has bad very Uttle practical advancement. l-ook at the Following Table of Comparison. Of those who might read in the following countries here are the facts as nearly as I,have been able to get them to hand. The percentage of those who cannot read is here given: Japan in 1905, 5.07 per cent; Canada, 1901, 14 per cent; Quebec, 1901, 20 per c nt; Italy, 1901, 56 per cent; Portugal, 1900, 70.6 per cent; Brazil, 80 per cent. v" This--.is a terrible showing. Now if Ireland lapsed into the helplessness of the teaching as afforded in Peru, Chili, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Columbia^ Portugal, Spain, Italy and other Roman Catholic lands, then our fellow Irish citizens, Protestant and Roman Catholic alike, would gradually drop into the ranks of the average teaching, so manifest by the order sent out from the' Vatican and his masters. Thus, then, from this, point, I feel strongly Opposed to the attempt at Home Rule.as the Irish are demanding. Again there is another count to be placed against this proposition: The Irish have no business to have 40 members or any other number in the British HouseT of Commons to aid in dictating to the British people in England, Wales and Scot- ' land how they shall or shall not act in purely home matters^ If Ireland is to be practically free, then let her Irish members retire, from the British House of Commons, and her 28 peers from the House of bords. ��������� - ' " THE PEATH OF THE NOTEP WRITER, AGNES D-CAMERON.

Prohibition of Any But Recognized Banners. Last week an ordinance was passed by the Seattle council forbidding flags other than recognized by the U. S government to be used. This ordinance regulates the size o fthe flag (the Stars and Stripes) which must lead all parades.

C, April 29th, 1912 it is with pleasure I testify to the great satisfaction you have given me in the adjusting of glasses. For some time reading became very difficult, eyes painful both night and day. I feared the loss of power to read. I consulted an occulist who seemed to examine me well and prescribed! glasses. There was no improvement. Since you gave me an examination and fitted me with glasses the pain has left the eyes and I can read at least two hours at a time without strain. You are at liberty to use this as you please. J i^ Yours truly, J, Savage. 1451 Fifth Avenue, West.

Tisdall) 919-4390 Hasting* 9t., W4 London���������Last year the city of Bradford' made a profit of $150,000 from grease recovered from its sewage, and so great has been the success of the machinery installed for this purpose that $300,000 will be spent this year for improvements on the plant. It is estimated that the new1 works will raise the annual profits to $250,000. The total sales of products recovered from sewage last year amounted to $500,* 000. Besides the grease a market has been found for the pressed cake wbicb remains after the grease has been extracted and large quantities of this have been exported to be used as fertilizers In France^ South America and other foreign countries. During the coal strike a number of local factories used the cakes as fuel. At present Bradford is the only city In the kingdom which derives a profit from its sewage. Tbe works are the result of ten years' experiment by City Sewage Engineer Garfield. When the new works are completed over one hundred presses will be extracting grease from the city sewage. Vancouver may profit by the enterprise and experience of Bradford. Why. waste, where economy, ingenuity and scientific knowledge can turn the apparently worthless into useful articles and money. Hundreds of tons of paper are destroyed or left to fly about In the wind in this city. Enterprise could save it and convert it into money.

We Would Recommend Our Best Friend to buy these Wilton Rugs We know they are durable, worthy rugs that will give a good account of themselves through the hardest wear. Tbey represent fuU value for each and every price, and the patterns are the kinds that tasteful people fall in love with. Almost without exception these carpets adopt the so-called Ameri-% can patterns���������they are not American carpets, and American patterns are reproductions of Oriental���������Persian���������designs adapted to meet the utilitarian need. The centres are filled with small conventional figures, sometimes arranged in the form of a medallion. The borders are always well defined. These Wiltons are truly magnificent carpets, suitable for living rooms, dining rooms and dens. Wonderful wearers, easy to sweep and keep clean. Don't readily show dirt. Without a doubt the best carpet investment any woman with a modest income can make. 4.fix 7.6, price $11.75 9.0x 9.0, price $23.75 fi.:tx 9.0, price $18.75 9.0x10.6, price $27.50 9.0x12.0, price $30.00 Sample Axminster Squares at Bargain Prices 3x3% yards, for $24.75 3x4 yards, 'for $29.60 Buying these at these prices bring you a saving of at least. 20 per cent.
