The eighteen -months -old son of Mr. and Mrs, Rueben Talbot of Eramosa township, iiear Guelph, met its death on Wednesday afternoon in a distressing manner. The mother and child were alone in the house, and the little one walked out into the woodshed and tumbled head first into a bucket with a small quantity of water in it. Only a minute 01' so afterwards the tnothar found the child, but there was no sigh of life, and it is thought that in the fall its neck may have been injured in such a way as to cause death, Spend at Home During the past few days several mail bags of mail order catalogues have arrived in town, advertising fall and winter goods. The postage on each catolugue is six cents and the paper alone in them would be worth dollars. It must be a paying proposition for any company to spend such money adver- tising their goods and thus there must be a large amount of money from this district finding its way to Toronto and other cities, The money is lost to this district and goes to help build up other cities to the detriment of our own com- munity. Spend your money at home with the prospect that it wilt come b ick to you; The local rxierehante should in turn think of their torn printers and not standout of town for their work, It ;night bo well to remind them that these same mail order houses offer some country weeklies 12 cefate per inch for all the advertising space they wilI give them.

The township of Ashfield is endeav- oring to have a bridge on the fourth concession taken over by the county and made a county bridge. The bridge needs rebuilding and should be a cem- ent and steel structure. Section 110, chapter 11]'1, R, S. O., 1011, provides that a bridge of a great- er length than 300 feet in a town hav- ing an rqualized assessment of less than $1,000,000, or in a township, may, on application of the council of such town or township, be declared to be a .iounty bridge, when (a) it is used by the inhabitants of other 'municipalities. (b) it is situated on an important highway atTording means of communi- cation to several municipalities. (c) on account of its location and for the reasons mentioned in elauser(a)and (b)it is unjust that the burden of maln- tenance and repairing it should rest upon the corporation of the town or township. Under this section et seq. a reference before H. L. Dickson, county judge, was made on Friday last. Wm. Proud - foot, K. C., appeared for the township of .Ashfield and Charles (harrow for the county of Huron. The following witnesses were heard for the township of Ashfield; Ellsworth Bolton, P. L. S„ Adrian Disher, Nath- aniel Cunningham, James Johnston, William Carr, William Douglas, Norman Treleaven, William McClure, Thomas Stothers, Abraham Culbert, Charles Elliott, Thomas J. Richardson, Charles Stewart and Thomas G. Allen. One witness for the county, Fred W. Farnacombe, was heard, before the court adjourned on Saturday after- noon. TO KILL GRASSHOPPERS. Just After Wheat Harvest Is the Time to Destroy These Pests. According to Mr. George A. Dean, entomologist of the Kansas State Agri- cultural college, the timo to get the grasshoppers is just after wheat har- vest, when they are migrating from the wheat stubble to the growing crops, or just after the second cutting of alfalfa. During the last three years the poisoned bran mash, flavored with fruit juice, bus been found so effective in this state and in other states and countries that the experiment station does not hesitate to recommend it as the most effective and practical meth- od of controL The bran mask is made of bran, twenty pounds; paris green, white ar- senic or london purple, one pound; sirup, two quarts; oranges or lemons, three; water, three and one-half gal- lons. Paris green is'preferred to the other poisons, but the price of It this year is very high, and hence in some cases it may be well to substitute white arsenic or london purple. In preparing the bran mash mix the bran and the poison dry in a washtub. Squeeze the juice of the oranges or lemons into the water and chop the re- maining pulp and the peel to fine bits and add them to the water. Dissolve the sirup in the water and wet the bran and poison with the mixture, stir. ring it at the same time in order to dampen the mash thoroughly. The damp mash or bait should be sown broadcast in the infested areas early in the morning, when the grass• hoppers first begin to move about. The amount of bait or mash made by using the quantities of ingredients given should be sufficient to cover four to five acres. On alfalfa fields the bait should be applied after the crop has been re moved and before the new crop has started. If grasshoppers are moving into eorn, Kaffir, new wheat or garden. a strip of the poisoned bran mash should be scattered early in the morn- ing along the edge of the field. A sec- ond or even a thit•d application of the halt will be necessary in some cases at intervals of three or four days. Tomato Worm Control, The proper method of tomato worm control in Small patches is band pick ing and in larger gardens or fields use of a lead arsenate spray or paris green. according to George A. Dean, professor of entomology ht the Kansas State Ag- ricultural college. "When spraying with arsenate of lead Use tiro and one-half pounds of dry material to [iffy gallons of water,' advises Professor L'cau. One pound of fresh stone lime should be used with every pound 01'parts green to prevent burning of the foliage. The paras green .pray should be used with care. -6-411P54 Mics Prom Toronto Victor Carlstrorn, in a 160 -horse- power Curtis biplane, accompanied by Frank 1'rendergasf, a newspaperman of 'Toronto, flew from Toronto to Camp Borden on Wednesday last a distance of approximately 67 miles, in 85 min- utes. Major -Gen. W. A. L' ogre and Capt, J. McEvoy were taken for short flights, and both were delighted tvith their flrat ride in an aeroplane, The general stated the sensation was quite similar to canoeing in rough and swift waters, Carlstrom and his passenger arrived at 1):56 a.tn., and left at 1.46 p.m. At Clinton Model Miss Willa It, , Cox, Miss Clemen- tine A.

In many sections the disease Is a serious handicap to the growing Of melons on a large scale, not only by destroying tiro growing crop, but also by preventing the successful cul- ture of melons upon the same tleld again in succeeding years. Watermelon wilt is caused by a fungus which, lives is..tbe soil tied mi- ters the roots, plugging up tha water carrying vessels and preventing the rise of moisture, thus causing the wilt- ing and death of the plant. The leaves of affected plants Ars' droop, thou rap- idly wilt and soon Ole, the runner dy- ing with them. Upon cutUt g the main tap root across near the surface of the ground it will be found to present a yellow color in tate wood, making a dis- tinct contrast with the white color of the healthy plant. This yellowing, to- gether with the wilted appearance of the viae, makes the indeutitication of s t t the dIscase easily ; < N ren: I b e, and a t further fact that a field once infected shows the same trouble In succeeding years in the same or an extended area Is au additional recur ;..:tion mark. All commercial varieties of melons appear to be very susceptible to the disease. The disease Is spread in a number of different ways. By particles of earth carrying spores of the fungus, which are easily scattered by the wind, by implements used in cultivating and by the feet of men and work animals or stray stock passing from one field to another. By infected stable. manure. The fungus lives in the dead vines, and the practice of cutting bay from water- melon fields results in some watermel- on vices being harvested with the hay, and this leads to the presence of the causal fungus in the stable. When the fungus once gains entrance to the barn- yard, or compost heap, it remains there for years, and all the manure taken from such a yard is likely to be Infect- ed. By drainage water, flowing from Infected to uninfected fields, There is nothing that can be done to save a field of melons when once at- tacked by the wilt, but the disease may be avoided by the following precau- tions: In infected districts watermelons should never be planted on land where watermelons have been grown within ten or twelve years, more or Iess, de- pending on soil conditions, as experi- ments have shown that the fungus causing the disease is able to live a long period in the ground. As a mat- ter of practical experience itis usually possible to secure enough fresh land, so that an adequate supply of water- melons can be grown in any large dis- trict without need of recourse to old fields. Stable manure which has become in- fected by the use of melon hay or ref- use containing melon vines should nev- er be applied to the watermelon crop or to land where it is desired to plant watermelons later. Fields which have received the drain- age water from infected fields must be considered and treated as if infected. This means that the farmer having two fields, one of which is on higher ground than the other, should plant the lower field host. As far as possible lire stock should he prevented from passing from infect- ed to uninfected fields. Breeding resistant varieties. It has been demonstrated by the department of agriculture that varieties of water- melons resistant to wilt can be bred. The strains thus far produced are not recommended for general planting, but it will be worth while for interested lo- calities to have wilt resistant varieties adapted to their conditions bred. Improved Beehive. Beekeepers will be interested in the uew .patent improved beehive recently patented by a Norfdtk (Va.) man. There is a metal strip, with a portion extending inwardly from the inner sur- face of the hive wall and a portion that extends upwardly and outwardly in the combination of a hive 'wall and a -frame supporting ledge. The wan has a correspondtugly inclined tet or Leif to receive such ledge, and nails are driven into the; hive wall at the points where they will pass through these up- wardly and outwardly iuc i ed por- tions, This makes a beehive that is tight enough to keep out 'wind and moisture and protect the bees inside, Digs Potatoes With a Gas Engine; Digging his potatoes with a gas en gine is what 'Isaac I1arrition, a suceesa- ful potato grower of Cream Ridge, N. J,, has tried and found successful. He uses horsed to pull the digger, but by using tate gas engine on the digger is able to harvest his crop with two in- stead of four horses. Mr, Harrison's yields baro been High each year, aver- aging' over 250 bushels per acre. From 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of htrr li grads fertilizer are used per acre, Several other farmers near Cream Ridge are planning to try out the same use of the gee engine to harvest their crop thin Stasoil.. 4.
