The latest statistics of the French Labor Department show that while women outnumbered men in France before the war by 756,682 (in a total population of 39,602,258), the war will probably decrease the number of men at least a million, giving the women a majority of 1,750,000.

Fifty-seven fall pigs fed at Univer- sity Farm, St. Paul, last winter and marketed recently, left a margin of $4.56 a head to cover cost of labor, risk, interest, profit, etc. R. C. Ashby of the animal hus- bandry division at University Farm, began a series of tests two years ago to determine whether raising fall pigs'is profitable in Minnesota. The margin of nearly five dollars a head is the result of the test. Eleven sows farrowed fall litters for the tests, and the pigs were wean- ed December 16. They were plut, on feeding tests two days later. The records kept cover all feeds consumed by sows and litters from farrowing to weaning and from the time the act- ual feeding test was begun until it was finished. The total cost of feed for the sows and pigs up to weaning time was $186.81. From weaning time to the time.marketing the feed cost $577.88, making a total cost of $13.42 a head. The feed was counted at these prices: Shelled corn, 75 cents a bushel; ground barley, 65 cents a bushel; shorts, $26 a ton;. tankage, $55 a ton, The pigs averaged 19111pounds when sold May 6. They were sold at $9.65 in South St. Paul, a price equi- valent to $9.40 at home, The sell- price of $17.98 left a balance of $4.5¢ each. No account of manure is taken in these figures. The pigs were fed in five lots, three lots from self feeders and two lots fed by hand. Those in the lots in which the self feeders were used did better than those in the other lots„ The corn -fed lots required abolut seven bushels of corn, forty pounds of tank- age, and from bhirty to forty pounds of shorts for each pig from weaning time to the close of the test. The pigs•were feel grain alone. They were given no mills and did not have access to the cattle yards. Mr. Ash- by thinks that when milk is available or when the pigs can pick up after cattle the margin will be correspond -1 ing'ly increased. Heat and Horses.

THE IMPERIAL OIL COMPANY Limited • BRANCIIES IN ALIT CITIES It Connects Marseilles. With the North Sea. The report of the opening of the canal connecting Marseilles and the River Rhone is an important piece of news frons` France that does not re - lace primarily to war, although, inci- dentally, it is a testimonial to the spirit of the French and the stability of their industry that work on the canal has been kept up despite the war. The importance of this canal which was begun in 1904, and which is sixty+ miles long, is that it connects Mar- seilles, the principal seaport of France, with the North Sea. A delta at the mouth of the Rhone makes passe age in and out of that river difficult for large vessels, and heretofore fore 112 ar seilles, the great French Medti"t- ranean port, about twenty-five miles from the mouth of the Rhone, has been cut off from the inland waterway sys- tem of France by a ridge of hills. The canal bores through this hilly barrier five miles of the canal beim a tunnel beneath a hill. This tunnel by the way, is seventy-five feet wide and seventy feet high, dimensions that make it the largest tunnel- interior in the world, according to despatches. By the completion of this work which has cost about one hundred million francs, vessels up to six hun- dred tons displacement can go by water from 14arseilles to Havre and the North Sea without passing through the Straits of Gibraltar. Mar- seilles has now direct water communi- cation with inland cities like Lyons, Avignon and Valence. Incidentally, the canal will probably be useful in time of war, for through it small fighting craft, like small destroyers. and sub- marines, can make a quick run be- tween the Mediterranean and the Eng- lish Channel. CLEVER PLANTS. Begonias Pick Out a Suitable Place for Tendrils. - Tho cleverness of some plants is indisputable. A. sundew, or fly -eater, deceived by a piece of chalk, seized it in its tendrils, but upon discover- ing the fraud immediately withdrew them, A fly, held just out of its reach, did not attempt to move, but as soon as it was brought a little nearer the plant prepared to take possession of it. Darwin showed tha a begonia had a habit of searchin for a bole to insert its tendrils into, and even of withdrawing the tendril to insert it in another hole if the first proved unsuitable. Nor is this power of selecting con- fined to any particular class, Climb- ers like the lianas will refuse to coil round a brunch not strong enough to bear its weight.
