According to a schedule showing the division of dairy products, pub- lished by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, the annual cast of wasted milk in our nation would make a happy Pay day for the army and navy and still leave an appro- priation sufficient to buildenough combat planes to satisfy even the militant Mitchell. COMMON General Since Confederation Are Commemorated in Place-names of Canada—Some Important and Picturesque Instances. Since Confederation Canada has had thirteen governors general, and the Geographic Board of Canada records that all have been commem- orated in place-names. In this connection, however. it should be noted that, as Canadian governors general bear famous governors since Confederation in 1867, many civil divisions and physical features which at first sight night appear to have been named after a governor general (for example Grey county, Ontario), were in reality named for an ancestor. To take in all cases of names given in honour of governors general would make a long list and the following are. the more important or more picturesque. , The amount of milk spilt, soured, reject cd end otherwise wasted annu- ally, is 3,339,080,000 pounds. This at $2.26 per hundred would approxi - mato 0 lineally the stupendous amount of $77,300,086. However, a cheerful note rings through this tale of eo000mlc toss to a nation. The same report shows a 1024 increase of 108 pounds of milk per cow over 1023 production. Deducting this from the figure pre- viously given, leaves a loss through waste of only $13,607,325, a mere bagatelle, compared with our na- tional debt of more than twenty bil- lions of dollars. Tho tnereassd yield per cow Is due to heightened efficiency on the farm; and future years promise even greater increases. Dairymen have discovered the fu- tility of fending non-paying members of their milk herds. They have learned that losses lurk in insanitary milk production. They have dis- covered the advantages that lie in swatting the bacteria, that hide In unclean stables, unclipped) un - brushed flanks and udders of milk cows and unsterilized utensils. As time goes on, the unavoidable waste of milk Will be more than offset by intelligent feeding, complete sanita- tion and more efficient herd manage- ment. r The village of Monck in Wellington county, and Monckland in Stormont county, both in Ontario, are named after Viscount Monek, wwhils Lisgar township in Ontario, Lisgar Station in Quebec, and Lisgar electoral divi- sion in Manitoba are called after Baron Lisgar. Lord DufTerin's name is preserved in 0 parish and village in New Brunswick, in a county and township in Ontario, and in an ele- ctoral division in Manitoba. Lorne is a very popular name. There is a Lorne township in Ontario and vile ]ages of the name in New Brunswi- ck, Quebec and Ontario. Other i mantes with Lorne as the basis are: Lorne House in Quebec, Lorne Park in Ontario, Lorne Vale in Nova Scotia I New Brunswick and Ontario. The Marquis of Lorne also suggested the name of the province of Alberta MYPIPARIL which commemorates his wife, the Princess Louise Caroline - Alberta. Lake Louise in the same province also bears the name of the princess while Louise and Lorne are 'ehe names of lakes in Manitoba. Mount Lans- downe in the Yukon, Lansdowne lake in Keewatin, and villages in Ont- ario and Nova Scotia as well as an electoral division in Manitoba and a township in Ontario are among the features on which the name of 'the Marquis of Lansdowne has been bestowed. Stanley villages in Ont- ario and New Brunswick, recall Baron Stanley of Preston, as well as Stanley Bridge in Prince Edward Island and Stanley Section in Nova Scotia. A mountain in Alberta and a lake in MaeKenzine District, North- west Territaries, are two of the prin- cipal features named after the Earl of Aberdeen. A mbun'cain in British Columbia and a hake in northern'Que- bec bear Lord Minto's name as well as villages in Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick. Earl Grey is recal- led by a mountain and pass in British Columbia, le village in Mani'coba and by a river in Mackenzie Distriee, Northwest Territories. There is also a Lady Grey lake in a name District. The city of Port Arthur, Ontario, takes ics name from the Duke of Con- - naught, who was sowing with the Ri11e Brigade in Montreal when Gen- ' oral (afterwards Sir Garnet) Wolsely ' on his expedition to Fort Garry in ` 1870 named its Prince Arthur's Lenti- 1 ing.' Devonshire, after the Duke of Devonshire, is the nunie of an Ont- ario village, while Evelyn pass in Jasper Park, Alberta, is named after the Duchess of Devonshire. The names of Viscount Byng and Viscou- nt Willington are borne by mountains it, Alberta. List of Governor Generals Since Confederation Viscount Illo1ck, 1867-1868. Baron Lisgar, 1868-1872. Soviet Russi i, Now Plans Bigger Wool Production rf Russianf amity of the prosperous fanning poasani alas. The visit to the United States, at this time, of Michael S, Pereferko- viteh, manager 02 the live -stock de- partment of the Soviet Russian gov- ernment, Prof, Michel Is, Ivanoff of a Moscow agricultural u111versity, and N. N. IClebnik, official inter- preter, carries With it all the signifi- cance of a step to progressive and modern methods in the new Russia, According to these three repro- sentatives of the Soviet government, Russia now has about 80,000,000 sheep and hundreds of millions of head of other live stock. Rambouillet rams have boon pur- chased by them, not to increase the number of sheep, but to improve quality. It is expected that a better grade of wool will bo produced by crossing of broods. In this connec- tion, aheop shearing machinery was bought to supplant the old-time hand blades. This in itself is oxpoctod to Increase the wool crop about 7%, not because the machin shears clear than hand blades, but because It re- moves the wool evenly and in an unbroken blanket, leaving no ridges on the sheep.( Russia is sentioutt to enlarge its textile businoss with a view to pro- ducing its own wool fOr reauufee- tering purposes, Another committal from that country has been studying textile mills in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Admittedly, there is great need in Russia for farming implements as the Russian farmer now has prac- tically all the land he wants, but is unable to develop all of hie ground because of lank of farm machinery. Another great need is dairy ma- chinery seals as milking machinos, cream separators, pasteurizing ma- chinery, horse and cow clipping ma - 0111110a and butter -making machinery. NI. P0ref0rkovitsh said he intended to buy moro than 5,000 sheep, but owing to misinformation as to the best buying season, he arrived in this country too lata to get all ho wished, and so expects that next year as many as twenty mon will be sunt to this country to malto these pur- chases, Russia 1s doing everything possible to improve farming and dairying methods. Graduates of agricultural schools aro teaching Partnere and dairymen modern methods and the use of modern machinery.

They rode from the Chateau Lake Louise to Lake Agnes to qualify for membership, One of the sheep ranchers of the Coaldale district is at present in the Crow's Nest Pass where he is run- ning a large flock of sheep on 5=1 - mar range. This is the first year that an independent rancher has moved sheep to the mountains for the summer and the experiment is being watched with a good deal of interest. The first of a new series of engines, has left the Angus shops of the Canadian Pacific Railway and wild shortly enter passenger service between Montreal and To- ronto. It is the largest passenger locomotive in the British Empire, 97 feet in length, weighing 424,- 000 pounds, and has eight great driving wheels 6 feet three inches in diameter. It is an entirely Canadian product, designed by Can- adian Pacific engineers. Fifteen flying clubs have been formed in Canada since May when the Government's plan to encour- age civil aviation was put into effect, while applioation for two more clubs are at present being considered by the Air Board. Over one hundred Moth planes are in use throughout Canada, Air Board officials stated. Half of these are privately owned. More than one hundred members of the clubs are solo fliers. A resolution petitioning the Cana- dian Daily Newspaper Association to hold its 1929 convention in the Maritime Provinces was passed at the Mid -summer meeting of the Ontario Provincial Daily Newspaper Association held 011 board the Can- adian Pacific ship "Keewatin" en route from Port McNichol to Sault Ste.

The world wide service proclaim- ed by the Canadian Pacific Railway will be further Improved with the establishment of a new hotel by the Company in London, England. So great a traffic of Canadian and American travellers between this continent and England has been built up by Canadian Pacific Steam- ships, that the construction of s new hotel in the heart of the Em- pire has been considered for some time.

RARE SNAKES FOR ZOO. Couple of World's Most Poisonous Vipers from Africa to London. Two of the world's most poisonous snakes have just reached the London Zoo in the same consignment from Africa—a Gaboon Viper and a Large - fleeted Mamba. Each is in the first flight as a killer. Between the two there is a most remarkable contrast, both In temper and in appearance, The Gaboon Vip- er is lazy, squat, and has almost to be trodden upon before he can be persuaded to give you a taste of his quality. He 1s dressed in a loud pat- tern of purple and buil diamonds, and wears a pair of nose -horns at the tip of his muzzle. The Mamba carries the fight to his enemy all the time. Ile is lightning - quick in his movements and is olive- green all over. The great oval scales which give bim his name suggest the form of armor affected by some O1 the old Vikings, and it was a happy moment at the ,Zoo when he was secured by the looped "snake- stick" and moved to his den. It is doubtful which of the two is the more venomous, New Method of Blood Transfusion. A new and safer method of trans- fusing blood into little children and babies suffering from severe infec- tions or a lack of life fluid was re- ported to the American Medical As- sociation by Drs. W. C. C. Cole and J, C. Montgomery of Detroit. The usual .method of making a blood donation from a well person to the patient is to inject the blood into a vein, a procedure that is sometimes difficult and dangerous. Tho Detroit physicians ir.jeet the reviving blood directly into the peritoneal cavity, the portion of the body that contains the stomach, bladder, bowels and other organs. They have used this new method for 237 transfusions on 117 patients with promising results. Un- welcome reactions upon the patient aro sometimes avoided and the meth- od is so simple that 51017 physician should be able to use it when the usualmethod blood transfusion can- not be used.

ACCELERATOR RIDING. Riding the accelerator is just as harmful and costly as "ridin" the clutch. VALVE SPRINGS GIVE TROUBLE. Weak valve springs can cause end- less trouble in promoting poor engine operation. Whenever the valves are removed 'these springs should be me- asured to see that they are the same size. If one spring is short, it ei- ther will have to be stretched or a plate placed under is to increase the pressure. UNNOTICED LEAKS In summer, when the heat causes rapid evaporation of gasoline, tiny le- aks in the fuel line often escape dis- covery. In some cases this will be enough to account for a sudden cut- ting down of the mileage per gallon. So, in cases where the relative mileage shows a sudden drop it is well to in- spect the fuel line for small leaks. TO START CAR ON HILL. Use of the hand brake instead of the pedal will prevent rolling back when starting on a hill. The trick is easy. if one will practise it a few times. Release the catch on the brake and ]told it back with the hand. Accelerate with one foot and let in the clutch with the other. As the car starts to pull ahead, ease the hand brake forward. Let it go entirely as soon as the car is safely under way. TIRE INSPECTION. Tires of an automobile should be inspected 01100 a week, especially for air pressure. It is quite usual that one 'tire will become somewhat defl- ated at a little faster rate than ano- ther, • By a constant checking up it can be then learned chow much at- tention is necessary to each tire in order to keep it at the proper pres- sure. Also, it can be determined at' what pressure the car seems to ride ; most comfortably. USE HORN TO FIND KNOCKS i Knocks are very often somowhat difficult to locate in an engine. Vari- ous devices have been used to locate the trouble, but as good a one as is to be had can he made in a few min - otos from an oil horn and rod. Al the horn but the bell and disphrag=n :l>ou!d be removed. A screw show, and screwed into the end of the rod. When the other end of the rod i, pl- aced t(5 (itt.;t tee en=gine the knock can be heard very plainly in the bell, By removing the rod to different points on rho cyli•eler block or chankease, the exact location of the tt'oubie can be discovered. SPARE TIRE ESSENTIAL Bang! This sharp signal of a tiro blowout is often heard at this season of the year on country roads. Where traffic is heavy it is sometimes as diffi- cult 'co find a vacant space for repairs at the roadside as it is to "spot" a parking space on the city streets. In the hot weather tires that have been mistreated during the winter months develop structural weaknesses and the first long trip usually causes them to "pop." A ,spare tire is a wise pre- caution. RULES FOR PARKING AT CURB. Have lights burning when parking at night. The car should be as near the curb as practicable. Observe parking signs and do no'c take advantage of the rules. Never park the car too close to the rear of another nor leave unnecessary room between each other. Do not park too close to a fireplug, near street intersection or in a positi- on so as to block an alley or drive - away. Be sure to lock the car and remove the key. Look everything—ignition or and then close the windows and lock the doors of a closed car. Every motorist should practise ba- cking the ear to the curb until it can be done accurately. 1iecause of many blowouts due to hot weather, it is 15.'60 to have the spare in first-class shape to us cin an emerency. With normal driving, the cost of keeping the chassis of an automobile properly lubri, oted for a year should he only a few dollars. A fan belt that is oil -soaked, or hard glassed, is a poor foundation for en efficient cooling sy:ftem mid should be replaced with a fresh belt. Always rccrank an engine immedi- ately after it backfires, This often prevents a fire by sucking back into the intake manifold any flame that has started in the carburetor.

Play an Important Part In the Daily' Menus of Other Lands. A hungry British workman would have something to say if stewed daf- fodils were placed before him after u heavy morning's work, but in other bands, particularly east of Suez, flow, ers play an important part in tho daily menu. In Madras and other parts of Inc die, as well as in the wild regions of Afghanistan, flowers are cultivated for food, and in Southern India, where the population is mainly vege+ tartan, lotus jelly is considered ei great delicacy. The petals of young flowers are soaked in a sugar solus tion, and boiled until they form a stiff paste, which is powdered with more sugar and moulded, But it Is scarcely a dish for the Western palate. Shrub cakes, made with blossoms, ghee, and bazaar sugar, are popular in the north, and sold at two -pence apiece. They lead to abdominal troubles, but as the natives enjoy the strange concoction, they attribute snhsettuent ailments to Providence. Every visitor to Ceylon, however, should sample butter -blossom, which is boiled and flavored with cinnamon or cloves. Chinese cook lilies in milk and eat candied jasmine, while Japanese have a keen appetite for flowers, a taste which is :hared by the Egyp- tians, who serve rose -petal $wiIy, pre- pared with powdered sugar, water, and isinglass, at the end of a meal. Iii Morocco the 0110101• porridge is do - finitely improved when served with a jelly made from pomegranate flowers. In the West Indies, where exotic plants are as plentiful as cowslips at hone, floriculture caters for the ta- bles of all elassee, A. confection of banana blossoms delight the natives, and resident Europeans have been known to express their appreciation. 11.111. `J.
