of importance are Madras, Delhi,

these cities, especially,. Calcutta and

much of it in native hands. There are
alto, principally in Northern India,
many extensive estates or ranches, a
number of them with native owners'.
It is for the most' part the output of
these great estates that has brought
to India the credit of "supplying the
whole world with jute,' and of, ans

second- largest in, the world."

Slave -Holding Ants.
• The ant is man's greatest' -rival *in
organization -and industrial civiliza-
tion. Before man knew *enough to
take to agriculture some ants of
America were farming the soil. Their
numbers are -not so -great in -this coun-
try, nor are they particularly fierce,
but in South America and in Africa
ants are amazingly numerous and. a
danger to man.
The red ant is a typical soldier; he
does nothing but fight. He has power-
ful jaws, and is generally strong, but
he cannot get along without a slave
to feed 'him. If he were left to feed
himself, he would die. He continually
raids the fleets ',of weaker insects.and
brings them back as prisoners., thus,
solving the servant emblem and keefi:
ing himself well supplied with attend-
ants._ There is 'a species oP ant in Aus-
tralia called the bulldog ant, because
of its extreme pugnacity. It will fight
anything and everything,' If one of
these 'ants is accidentally cut -in half,
one-half will. actually fight the other
half to the death,
That ants should be able to k -ill a

When an enemy :is sighted the alarm.
is given at once end the whole com-
munity of ants arises in a body. They
set upon the reptile, striking their nip-
pers into it at thousands of points.
The attack is made with such enor-
mous numbers that the snake has no
chance of escaping. When the sanke
is dead the ants will -tear off the flesh
in small pieces, taking all away with
them except the bones and skin.

Scouting Notes.
Scouting is now worlu

The leading -educationalists of Great
Britain and the United States support

The leading med-of Canada are lie -
hind the game. '
Scouting is to supplement present.
bay activities, not to supplant them.
The activities will fit with Sunday
Schools, Day School's, Church Boys'
Clubs, and can also be made a com-
munity worlc if desired. Its results
are sure if properly applied.
Scouting is no longer an experiment
or a fad. Its twelve yearshistory
has more than demonstrated As worth-
whi.leness.
Several hundred thousand Canadian
boyS and young men have been Boy
Scouts sometime during their career
and wi-11 be and are better men be-
cause of the training they received.
There is a junior movement for
boys between the ages of .eight and
twelve years known as -the Wolf Cubs.
Over thirty thousand Canadian boys
are now members of the -"Great World
Brotherhood of Scouts" and their num-
ber is increasing every, day.
If you are interested and feel that
Scout training should be made avail-
able to the boys of your community,
a letter addressed to the Executive
Secretary, The Boy Scouts Associa-
tion, Bloor and Sherbourne Sts., To-
ronto, -will liring yet full information.
Over one hundred and fifty Ontario
villages, towns and cities have found
in Spouting a solution for their "boy
Problem." Has your town yet done
anything really constructive for its
boys?
Ontario Rural Credits.
The province of Ontario has decided
in favor of a system of rural credits
to fernier agricultural development,
and an the movement of the Hon.

aside of .$5•00,000 for the purchase of
boads. to be.i8 Sued by the Agrictiltural
Development Board for making long

Property. Provision is also made for
short term'fairri leans and for the fOr-
