READ THIS AND ENJOY LIFE Once again the season of the dead- ly monoxide gas is here. The practice of starting engines in gar ages before opening garage doors results in many fatalities each year, Motorists should pay strict attention to ventilation in the garage and ab- ove all, should not —warm up" the car unless apple avenues of escape for exhaust gases. A cross -draft through the garage is most desirable. Carbon monoxide gas has a numbing effect on the senses and many in- stances are recorded where motor- ists have died on the driver's seat be- fore they roulrl span the short die- tance to fresh air. One of the best practices is to open the garage door •before starting the engine. Another is to connect the exhaust pipe with a pipe leading through the door so that fumes will be car - ried out of the building. This cat be done by means of rubber tub- ,• ing and an extension on the ex -1 haust. Owners who do their own mecbenicnl work should be partic- ularly careful that they do not • leave the engine running without providing adequate ventilation. Only a few inhalations of canon monoxide gas are required to cause fatal results. C.t2BURETOR ADJUST.'.4EN7 Most any kind of a carburetor ad• yuetment will cause the engine to run idle, blit a more careful adjust- ment is necessary to obtain pulling malities. flake sure that the ::park control meets the conditions desired d when adjustments are being made. With retarded spark, one can hardly expert any power from the i engine. First make sure that the engine has goon •compress ion and then see that a good spark, both in retard and in advance position in had. After this the carburetor should be ad Mated to obtain a good mix - t ore.

Frontenac on the Way to Cataraqui 1'7�\�'' 1I� `\ y� 71. ��qtu��qun.,.,..�lll �l\ i� �,' lwtiaal�w est�t:o�J$14%xJ ~ 1����k2 :tl /fir FST *G • Nr-- O Governor of New France im- pressed the Indians with such respect and admiration as did Count Frontenac. He seemed to un- d.rstand thein instinctively, and they, in turn, appreciated his hau- ghty and martial spirit. Frontenac ;hared the Indians' love of pagean- try and dieplay ,as well as their regard for cercrnonial observan- ; and his intercourse with them was conducted always with a mix- ture of dignified magnificence familiarity and fatherly authority. The founding of Fort Frontena.c was one of the first and most strik- ing examples of his skill in dealing v.ith the Indians, Ors predecessor, eeourcelle, had advised the King to 1`uild a fort and trading post on Lake Ontario to curb the Iroquois, and to attract them and the North- ern Indians to trade with the Drench rather then with •the Dutch end the English to the south and of the lake. Within a year after his arrival in Canada as governor Frontenac undertook to carry out the project. The time was favor- able, for there was truce •between the French and the Iroquois. La :Salle, the future explorer of the 4rfcst, who already had won From tenac's favor was sent to invite the Iroquois chiefs to meet the new governor at the place selected fox the proposed trading post. This was et the mouth of the Cataraqui, River, where now stands the city et' Kingston. At the end of June, 1043, Frontenac set out for Mont- real on his journey up the St. Lawrence. With hint were about four hundred men ; habitants, voy agours, Indians, old soldiers' of the t"arignau regiment, part of the gar- rison of Quebec, and a number of •,1Ticers who volunteered for the ex- gedition. His }flotilla consisted of t20 canoes and two flat -boats painted in brilliant colors and car - vying a couple of cannon. Slowly they toiled up the rapids to the smooth water of the Thousand Is• land till, on the 12th of July, they came in sight of Lake Ontario. Here Frontenac halted to arrange an impressive entrance upon the scene. All the company washed the ;tains of travel from their persons and dressed in their best ; the In. diens painted themselves and deck- ed their hair with feathers, the of- ficers put on their most brilliant uniforms, and the voyageurs don- ned their gayest sashes. Then, bright with the color and sheen of milk, velvet, ribbons and lace and gold braid ,with fluttering flags and flashing paddles dipping in lime to the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums and the thunder of cannon salutes, the procession moved forward over the blue wa- ters, Four divisions. of canoes in double lines led the way, followed by the decorated barges. Then came Frontenac and his guards ; his staff and the gentlemen volun- ters, with the canoes from Three Rivers on his right, and those of the Indians on his left, while two more squadrons of ,canoes formed the rear. Piloted by an Iroquois canoe which came out to meet them, the French entered the Bay„ while on the shore and along the edge of the encircling green forest, the Indians gazed in wondering admiration at the brilliant spectacle. At the point now occupied by the barracks at the end of the present bridge, they landed and made camp. The next week tve spent in councils and fes- tivities with the Iroquois. Fronten- nc' distributed presents of tobacco, gums and provisions and adressed the Indians in the grandiloquent.• speeches they admired promising them the protection and favor of the great King, and the advantages of profitable trade with the Drench, if they were peaceful and • threatening them with chastise• mint by his powerful forces, it they were disobedient. The Iro luois were greatly impressed as he t says, !with respect, fear and good- will," and in response to his re- quest, next year sent him several' of their children to be educated al Quebec. Meanwhile, during all the parleys and entertainments, the ec• ection of the fort proceeded rapid- ly and on the 24th of July, Fron- tenac was able to embark on hie return to Montreal. By that time the fort was almost ready to house the garrisons which was left to de - rend this. Wetsern outpost of New France. SUCCESSOR TO BALDWIN?. ,r ^ Col.

PLANTS THAT NEED PROTECTION IN WINTER Among fruits, the strawberry is the one which needs protection in winter in most parts of . Canada. It is a shallow -rooted plant, and it is liable to be heaved by frost and the roots killed. A light covering of straw, preferably marsh grass free of weed seeds, just before winter sets in, is desirable to prevent this, told has been found effective o„ the Dominion Experimental Farms, as have the methods described for other plants below. Grapes also need protection in the colder parts of Canada where grapes ripen. While vines may not be injured by winter, buds start in growth early in the spring, and Late spring frosts kill these, and so destroy the crop. By laying the vines down and covering with soil, this can be prevented as the soil need not be taken off until warm weather in spring. Raspberries need protection also, especially in colder districts where now either comes late or there is very little snow during the winter. In extreme cases, such as some parts of the Prairie Pro'rinces, bhe canon should be entirely covered with snow while, in others bending down the canee and holding the tips down with snow, will help ensure their being covered with snow early. Hybrid Tea Roses, Hybrid Pcr- uetuals, aunt. Climbing Roses rhnuld be protected in all but the mildest parts of Canada. Earthing up the hasp to a freight of eight or Len inches is a good method, the tins being bent down and covered with soil . Another good plan is to Scut an inverted wooden trough ever the gases, and cover With straw manure. Leaves are good for protection also. For Climbing Rosen the inverted trough method, boxer: fi11ec1 with dry leaves, or covering with heavy paper or earth, all make ::,Sod mean of protection. Demand for Wood o is Steady Although each year sees more substitutes on the Canadian market the amount of wood remains practi- rrlly constant. This is due to the. ,new uses being continually found for wood, as a result of the great amount of research now being car. rigid on with a view to finding new uses for wood in its natural condi- tion or by modifications, chemical ly or mechanically. THE COST OF REARING DAIRY HEIFERS Fifty dollars may be regarded all a high price to pay for a yearling heifer, but if she has been reared far in a manner to give her proper development this price is little en - eagle indeed, when the costs are all taken into consideration there is no profit in selling a twelve month old heifer at fifty dollars. Records were kept of the cost of 'food consumed by six heifers of Ayrshire, Holstein and Shorthorn breeding from birth to one year of ago. ° 1 They were fed whole milk valued nt forty dollars per ton until from three to four weeks ago when this was gradually changed 'to skim milk valued at four dollars a ton. A fat substitute valued at seventy ,lollars a ton was added to the dein milk. This was fed until the calves were three months of age. It waft romposed of one part flax seed and four parts of eruebed oats with the hulls sifted out. When the rnlves got older one part of erusbed oats was replaced by earn meal. Each calf Was fed from 'ane quarter to one pound of this fat euhstilnte per day, the amnnnt circ• pending On the age and rendition of the calf. The coarser feeds con- sisting of hay and roues were fed RECOVERING Lord Byng, former governor-gen- eral of Canada, who is reported to be recovering from his illness. which threatened to be serious. from the time the calves were able to use them, After the milk and milk substitute were discontinued In the liquid form the calves were fed a dry mixture consisting of three parts bran, two parts crushed oats, one part oilcake, and one part brewers' grains:- The aim in feeding was to keep the calves growing l steadily. In the account of this experi- ment which appears in the report of the Superintendent, Fredericton te'xperintental Station, for last year! published by the Department of Agriculture at: Ottawa, it is shown that reared in this way the calves weighed an average of 633 pounds head and that the year's growth I had been produced at a cost of $40.04 for feed 2n Spain a woman's mantilla is held sacred and cannot be sold for debt.
