too long in young trees and black-
berry bushes; apply mulching to trees
suffering from drought; and trans-

the sooner the work is done the more

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

except those just expanding, keep the
roots moist by immersion in mud,

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-

British Plantation Rubber
Is Saving Canada Millions
• Low Prices of Rubbers and Overshoes
Due to Britain's Control of Situation
Here in Canada many of us have fallen into the
truly Anglo-Saxon habit of considering the "Mother
of Parliaments" slow and a bit behind the times; The
present price of rubber, when its cause is revealed,
affords one of the many proofs that such an opinion
-is away off the mark.
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.
Xn tide foresielit and generosity of the British Govern -
tient 'lee the reaeon why rubber alone, of all the great stapleis,

Many farmers believe that oats and

crops, and they have planted largelY
of this mixed crop. And they are men
w hose opinions aro worth while.

it is especially necessary that lime bo

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.

Manual Training of
Mutilated Soldiers
As a suggestion in chiaroscuro of
the value of arts and crafts this war
is rich in fine examples taken from
the tragic experienCes of the actors.
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. In addition to the
drainage of huge bodies of men from

to produce its effect in the future,

ing factor and had led to the almost
involuntary preference for the right
hand. 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.

STORY OF A LAWSUIT.
Queer Way in Which an Umbrella
Case Was Decided in Poland.
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."

DUBLIN PROSPERS,

the Great Rising,
Dublin, Ireland. Nov, 7.,--(Corres.
pondence of the Associated Press) —
The Dublin correspondent of the Asap -
elated Press has interviewed the Right
Ron. James Gallagher, Lord Mayor of
Dublin, in reference to the statements
which have been made regarding a
supposed exception etate of distress in
the city, due to the April rebellion,
and its suppression.
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.
Information obtained from various
traders in the city enable me to say
that trade is as good, If not better,
than it was twelve months ago, More-
over, employment has been added to
owing to the amount of Inanition
work done in the city. We have five
or six factories, etteli employing front
one hundred to six hundred hands.
Women are earning very good wages,
and Dublin women have proved very
adaptable in shell making. The re-
sult is that the Governtnent is able to
turn out shells lit Dublin and in Ire-
land generally, cheaper than it can do
in England."
"The effect of the rebellion," said
the Lord Mayor, "was only tempor-
