The concentiator is 320 feet long by 207 feet wide and is et -pipped with most modern machinery. Active work at Allenby 'began in the Spring of 1918. Roads had to be constructed, houses And mill buildings had to be erected. A large pamping plant ‘was built and other mill build- inas promptly installed with the most modern machinery. Some $1,800,000 was spent alone at Allenby and large .surns 'elsewhere. Copper Mountain contains large lenses of loW•grade ore, averaging 1.74 per cent. copper. To date 19,000,000 tons of ore has been proven and 2,000,- 000 tone semi -developed. All of the prov'en and semadeveloped tonnage is situated higher than the lowest tunnel level, which means that all of the ore will be run by gravity instead of being hoisted out of the mine, nor will any, water have to. be pumped out of the mine. The Most modern machinery and equipment is expected to result in big profits for the Canada Copper Com- pany at Copper Cliff and Allenby. 1 labor.

The matter of picking the nammas some- thing that bothers a good many. I know one neighbor who was leaking for a name until he moved off the farm, but he never could decide on anything suitable. I had that job two yeath ago. The farm was situated on a little jog in the macadamized road that- runs by our house. The jog is probably- 400 feet, Finally that (named to. me as the fitting name—The Jog Farm—.and as I am working around the place in touring time I hear, the remarlt so often, "Well, that farm is named right, isn't it?" The name "Jog" also sug- gests the very opposite of laziness, as a real farmer to -day must eternally be on the jog. Another thing—this farm name is distinctive. There is no other farm named this so far as I know. There are dozens of Shady Oaks, River Views, and so on; but when one sees this mane he will remember it. So far, I am not able to realize on this name, but the time will soon come when' 1 ean. The stock and 'produce we have to sell will come to be known by the' farm "tante as much as by my awn appendage. Folks who go by see the chickens or stock, and remember where it as by the peculiar crook in the Aead, and the 'farm so named. Al- ready I get two or three letters a 'month' addressed to the farm name alone. Select a name that le different. Make it mean something peculiar to your farm, You can do it. It may take a few months to locate it, but it is there,—Earl Rogers. • • Use a good spray to protect the 'cows from the flies. Prevention of bloat is, of course; of prime importance. Bloat commonly is caused by suddenly turning huagry, empty sheep into a field etwet, wink, green clever or alfalfa. Rape in the same condition also will 'cause fatal bloating. Any sudden change of feed is dan- gerous. All changes should be made gradually, and sheep never ehould be tutted into a wet crop for the first time. They may graze wet clover or alfalfa with comparatiee immunity if they have been on etich pasture right along; tut the damage comes from sudden use of wet feed.

The de- mand for small separators, which May be moved easily from farm te farm; set ,in place quickly and furnished with pow,er from a farm tractor, is increasing rapidly, and the season of 1920 promises a still greater demand for these machines. : The farmer has been relatively slow to figure the investment ,in farm ma- chinery from an economic standpoint, but since labor charges and the cost of operating highly specializ.ed ma- ohinery have reached etch high levels, he is begaming to discover that some of the modeen mechanical inventions as well as many of his old methods of doing work by hand do not fit in well with present prices and labor condi- ning full time to full capacity. Wibh a large custom outfit the awn- eacanaot afford. to run short days, but must run early .and late, oftentimes threshing when the grain is bardly in tondition to thresh. WIth a small ma- chine and tractor owned by several neighbors this situation is avoided, as they can do their chores as early as tonvenient in the morning and get the work started by the time the grain 1.s in fit conelition to thresh In the even- ing they can quit early enough to do the chores without interfering with anyone. Loss Through Delay. In many localities where farmers depend upon one custom outfit there are many who have had disheartening expeit.ences in failineto secure a rig at a time when it was needed, and as a -result, have lost considerable grain. Probably the greatest factor that has contributed' to the popularity of the Goes.

On farms where a large acreage of grain is seeded and plenty of help e6 available, the threshing outfit with a large capacity will thresh at a much less cast per bushel than the smaller rigs. If, however, the acreage of grain is small and help is scathe the condi- tions ma reversed. Large separators with plenty of power are not likely to be overcrowded; and the waete of grain is less than is the case when the threshing is done with a smaller ma- chine and a tango crew. When grain is a little damp, :or if wet bundles are found in the stack, hhe large machine handles them with less danger than the*snialler separator. Many farmers' who lack convehiences for boarding extra talp prefer to pay moire money more common where farms are small and have their work done as eptickly and where more of the land is devoted as. possible;. consequently they prefer to pasture and cultivated crops. In to use the larger outfit and shorten the stay of the threshing crew as much as possible. Advantages of Small Outfit. During the past few' seasons the threshermen who haye carried a full crew for large legs have found it necessary to rat's° prices to a figure se high' that Meaty fatinets haVe fig- tmed it more profitable to get together such localities the jobs are smaller and the aarger machines must do the work at a decided disadvaniage. All arguments, however, are not in favor of the small separator.

Must 'be considered is thet the cost pee •baehel -is comparatively high will save a year of waiting for them to bloom. Most of these, and ether perennials, will bloom next year. For cabbage -worms: Mix one part: of Persian insect powder with four parts of air -slaked lane and dust it on the plants. , Weevils ten be killed in beans and peas by the use of carbon bisulphiatme. To treat these put them in a jar, tub or other vessel whieh can be covered tightly. Put into a glass about one teaspoonful of -carbon bisulphide for each ten gallons of space in the en- olosuee and place the glass in with the beans. Allow them to remain in the fames of the carbon bisulphide over night, then take them out and place in dry storage quarters. Do not take lamps or lighted matches near the ma- terial, and do not breathe the fumes. Conserve Plant Energy. Most perennials begin gathering strengeh aor next season ae soon as they leave fruited and It is then that they need fertilizer to build up the material fon new tissues. Currants, gooseberries and other shrubs should be immured as soon as the fruit has been harvested. Sea to it that the Tient does not waste its precious energy in producing something which y-ou do not iyant. If it is flowers or fruit which you are after, cut out the inside limbs of the plant which absorb energy for their growth but never get enough light to produce flowers or fruit If it is flowers alone that you desire, cut off the fiovrers as fast as they form. Do not let the plant w4Ate-- its strength in maturing fruit and seed which you do na want. Sweet peas an.d pansies, for example, can be pick- ed clean every day. This same principle lies at the bot- tom of all pruning work. Make your plants tam such strength as they have in doing the things which you want them to do. • Camouflaged Nature. • Nature knew all about camouflage long before the Allies ever thought of it. If she hadn't, it would have gone hard with many of the birds and insects: - Among birds, as you know, the fe- male is 'always more inconspictious than the male, so as not to be seen on her nest. Her colons usually, if not always, harmonize with the surround- ings of the nest. Sparrows atreaked with shades of brown are almost in- distinguishable from tho dry grass they nest in, while the female scarlet tanager, neeting in the leaves, is not ecarlet at all but green, like• the leaves. The female bobolink is sparrow-like, but even her mate is camouflaged. The "opside-down bird" he is rightly -call- ed, black en his :breast, where the shadow falls, buff and white patches on his back where the sunlight strikes bios.as he sways among the grass tops. The meadove-lark's back is incon- spicuous enough, but his gleaming yellow breast would betray him in an instant. So instinct tells him to keep his back turned toward you, and if he sees you coining you may have diffi- culty in getting in front of him. I have seen a little blue heron hold- ing his long neck motionless and stiff above the marsh -grass, his bill point- ing heavenward, so that he looked precisely like a dead stick. Insects even more than birds mimic the things that surround them.
