As for farm work, In August eontin- tie the destruction of weeds; keel) the ground mellow about young trees; pinch back shoote that are becoming too long in young trees and black- berry bushes; apply mulching to trees suffering from drought; and trans- plant strawberries according to direc- tions given below, remembering that the sooner the work is done the more firmly will they become established for enduring winter, and the better they will bear next season, TRANSPLANTING STRAWBERRY PLANTS. Next to early spring planting, the season of partial rest to the plants whicli occurs immediately after bear- ing is the best time for transplanting. Take them up carefully, so as not to tear the fibres, cut pff all the leaves except those just expanding, keep the roots moist by immersion in mud, and spread out when. setting them.

Peaches and quinces may be budded toward the close of the month. Watch the stocks in season and res move the ligatures as soon as they begin tie cut into the bark. GATHERING THE FRUIT. Gather early pears as they approach maturity, but before they become ripe on the tree, and ripen them in draw- ers or boxes. This will much im- prove their quality and prevent rot. ting at the core, so common in strill4 mer pears. The proper degree of maturity may be judged in most cases by bending the stem—if the fruit is nearly ripe it will loosen its hold of the tree, but if it adheres firmly, the pear has not sufficiently matured. There are, however, exceptions to this rule—the Bartlett, for instance, may be picked even before it has attained full size, and, in a week or two, will ripen into a fine, melting texture and excellent flaeor, Ripening summer pears in the dark much improves their ap- pearance. A Bartlett, for instance, fully exposed to the sun and allowed Ing on water, then complete the sur- face by a 'covering of fine, mellow earth; next apply a mulching, an inch and • a half in thickness, of fine, put- yerized manure. All, or nearly all, will grow without any further watering; but should the weather become unusually dry, water .may be applied without detriment,the mulch keeping the surface moist and preventing the formation of a crust. These, plants, wits immediately grow, become well established before. win- ter, and, if well cared for, will bear o. crop next year.

When drawers are not at hand, the maturing process may be accomplish- ed on shelves by first spreading a thick piece of woolen cloth, laying the pears on this, and covering them with the same. Pear growers Who send their crops to distant markets should pack them early enough to reacts their destine - aloe before the eoftening process has commenced.

Thanks to great rubber plantations established, in the face of criticism and ridicule, many years before in her tropical Dominions, Great Britain at the out- break of war held a firm and tightening grip on the world's supply of raw rubber—a grip reinforced by her dominating navy. From 60% in 1914, the production of these plantations has grown this year to 75% of the whole world's output,leaving only about half the requirements of the TJnited States alone to come from all other Sources., The result has been that th eeds of the Allies, enormous thotigh they are, have been plentifully sup- plied, while Germany has been reduced to registered mails and the " Deutschland" 'in desperate attempts to mitigate her rubber famine, Neutrals have been allowed all the rubber they want, at prices actually lower than before the war, so long as they prevent any of it from reaching the enemy, while Canada and other parts of the Empire have an abundant supply at equally favorable Governrnent regulated prices.

And they are men w hose opinions aro worth while. Farmers in the rteliest limestone Sections find it profitable to apply limo to their soils. This being true, it is especially necessary that lime bo used liberally on eons that are not of limestone formation, When nitrogen is estimated at 15 cents a pound, phosphoric acid at 7 eents a pound and potash at 4ee cents, Halligan estimates the average value of lama mantes, as follows: Droppings from one horse, per ton, $2.49; Ow, matter of common experience we know when the manure ie properly kept and applied to the land it Is worth more, for the figures given do not include tho value of the humus, which may be considerable. The amount of manure voided by animals varies according to the kind, size and age of the animal. Heiden estimates that for every 100 •„sounds of dry matter in the feed the horse voids 210 pounds of fresh manure, the cow 380 pounds of fresh manure, the Sheep 180 pounds. As to the proportion of urine to the manure, Snyder .estimates that a well- fed horse will produce about fifty pounds of moisture a day. Of this, one-quarter, or twelve and a half rounds, will be urine. In a stable, thehorse will void about six tons of manure per year, according to the same authority. A inilelt cow on an average *will produce from 60 to 70 pounds of man- ure per day, estimating both solid exerenient and liquid manure. Of this, from 20 to 30 pounds: will be liquid manure. The daily droppings of a well-fed cow of average size are about 80 pounds,. including the absorbents. The best way to save manure is to apply it to the land as fast as enough accumulates to pay for the time re- quired to spread it. Bedding should be used in the stalls to absorb the liquids, which are the most valuable parte of the manure. By applying this manure as fast as it accucuintates the danger of fries breeding in it will be reduced and much of the ingredients will be Bayed. But if it is not possible to apply for some time, &ore. in a pile, keep dry and screen or put helle- bore on it occasionally to prevent flies from breeding in it. Some farmers say the blossom test for cutting alfalfa is eunrellable. The blossoms should be disregarded en- tirely and the alfalfa cut when the shoots are from one-half to three- fourths of in inch long. Wood ashes should be saved and carefully stored in a dry place until applied to the soli. The potash in wcod ashee gives them an unusually high value at the present time, says Prof. L. Ls VanSlyke, of the Geneva station.

Surgeons who have seen the battle- fields and hospitals of Europe dwell upon the stupendous problems of car- ing for the men disabled and mutilated by modern shot and explosive's. How are these men to be trained and fitted for work? Can a man who has lost his right hand be taught to use the left? Should he learn a new trade or cul- tivate the old one with his left hand? Can men blinded by explosives be taught to use their fingere in drawing or in each unions of brain and fingers as music and typewriting? These problems were discussed at a recent meeting of the French Acad- emy et Sciences. Obviously both tech - nidal and social issues are here itt question In the first place the nor- mal and working life of artisans and professional men has, of necessity, given way to military duty. Though we mum° that most at them will be taken back into the industrial life of the nation, others will be permanently or partially incapacitated for one cause or another.

It is certain that the right side of the body is .usually stronger and better developed than the left; the muscles and nerves are quicker and more responsive and more capable of precise movements. It also appears that the ' case., of left-handed soldiers svho have lost „the right hand is mark- ed by the following special features: Left-handed men who are being train- edto ute this hands when they are ac- customed to help it with the right are more easily tired than right-handed men; it is found that left-handed men are less accurate in their work; they are able to work test,,. for mus- cular action dn-their ease Acceleeates the heart and breathing so' much that they leave off sooner. In fact, it is said that it is much, easier to train a right-handed man to use the left hand than it is to train a left-hander to use the. right. Immemorial habit has left an asymmetry in the face to the marked prejudice of the left side of the body. Practically, the questions to be solved were three: When a soldier has boa his right hand, the most common case, (should he be re-educated in his old trade or. profession by . means of the left? Or should he be taught a new ote? Or should he be fitted with an artificial right hand and be trained to write or draw or work with this? Dr. Joteyko tells us that in most in- stances the training of the left hand Is successful; it is found it does work or performs writing and drawing that have all the characteristice of right handed work; it is also found that when a shot has produced paralysis or loos of speech a cure le often effected by the training of the left hand. This training calls into play centres in the brain which have not been exercised.

It is far easier to reeducate a man in a trade which simply reqniree rough Move- ments, the muscular work of lifting weights, for exatnple, But in the teaching of trades that are skilled, that require very fine and precise movements of the hands and fingers, failures were not uncommon.

The Central Law Journal says that the old fable of tho lawyers end the gyster, in -which the ownership of an oyeter being contested, the lawyers ate the, oyster and gave a shell to each of the litigants, is matched by a story of a lawsuit widen a Russian journal relates as entirely euthentic. In a city in Poland, it appears, two men cameinto court with a suit over the ownership of an ' umbrella which had been left in a restaurant. Each ono introduced evidence to prove that the umbrella was his. Being unable to match the wisdom of Solomon by dividing the umbrella between them, the judge postponed the case. Pend- ing its decision, the umbrella was loft in the judge's private room. Later, as he left the court to go home, the judge found that the weather a as rainy. He went back to his room, took the umbrella whlch was in litigation, and spread it over his head into the street. On the way home he went into a restaurant and left the umbrella. on the rack, and when he aas ready to leave the place he found that it had been taken away by some unknown customer. Then he bought another umbrella and took it to his court room. When the case came up the litigants were confronted with it, and neither was able to identify it as his own, The court thereupon fined them both for invoking the law on a frivolous pretext, and they departed empty handed. and decidedly "nonsuited."

The Lord Mayor said: "We are absolutely better off this year than last year, notwithstanding the rebel - tom There is, as far as I can eee, no exceptional distress at all. There is, on the contrary, a good deal of money coming into the city for separ- ation allowances for the dependents of the men, most of them of the working classes, who joined the army.
