One of the hiforin'e Most
Unique Collections
Mr. F. ,T, Davis of London, Eng'
land,. who came to Canada on a most
neceliar missten looks on big game
huntere with disdain, Mr. Davie is
a flea Muster. • He is manager and
"chief scent" for the -famous flee,
menagerie of Hon. Charles ledths-
child in Herefordshire. Tho Hon.
Charles is the wealthleet and most
eccentric member of the great mil-
lionaire family. His particular fad is
the collection Of rare speetes of fleas
to which lively insecte. he devotes a
large portion of his thought and time.
"Ft have been scouting for fleas tor
fifteen years," said Mr. Davis in an
interview at Montreal,. "and in the
course of that time I have gathered
227 different kinds front as many dif-
ferent parts of the Mae. Alto-
gether Mr. P,othschild has 437 distinct
varieties, so you mut imagine how
difficult it meet be to get any ilew
ones. The object of my trip is to
organize an expedition to visit the
Northere ehudsonet Bay country for
the purpose of capturing. some Esqui-
maux fleas, of which Mr, Rothschild
was told by Captain Scott."
Mr. Davie recounted scene extra-
ordinary tales of the means whereby
lefr. Rothschild secured his large as-
sortment of flees. Special expeditions
were sent into the heart of India and
Africa. Great expense had been un-
dergone in order to secure rare fleas
such as those which haunt the hippo-
potamus and the kangaroo in their
native environment. Prizes had been
offered fele flea contributions and for
,moaths the mails to Mr, Rothschild
were /Med with letters bearing Bead
of all sizes and all degrees of viclowe
nese.
"A remarkable point in connection
with a tour of Canada which I made
six years ago," continued Me, Davis,
"was the fact that I found a pro-
digious number of fleas in Toronto,
where I was able to add no less than
seventy-three distinct types to my
Canadiati. collection."
Mr. Davis has some very clever
trapping devices by which he catches
his prey. His favorite bait is fresh
blood of a yOung Pig.

'NOT NEAR RELATIVES
Sword Fish and Saw Fish Belong
to Different Famillea
Related to the sharks are the odd
saw flame of the tropics, which are
common in the lagoons, bayous and
sounds of the West Indies. These
flsh grow to a length of twenty '
twenty -eve feet and as they are
no real value are, never fished
hunted to any extent.
In tact, the fishermen dread teese
creatures, for they often beceine en-
tangled in their nets anti •rip and tear
them to pieces by lateral jerks and
sweeps of the huge "saw" on the nose.
This "saw" is a bony elongation of
the nose and et armed on either side
with large, sharp, strong teeth, end
In the largest fish these "saws" grow
to be five or six feet long and nearly
o loot wide -
Very different from the saw fish is
the sword fish, which is related to the
mackerels and is of great value for
food and is widely and assiduously
hunted or fished on the southern New
England coast as well as in the Gulf
of Mexico and in the West Indies.
The sword fish is a splendid creature,
often weighs as much as six hundred
pounds and has huge, brilliant eyes,
cleah, • speedy "lines" and a long
horny snout or "sword' with which
It can impale another fish or even'
pierce the strongest oaken timber of

Advice Given by the New Hampshire
'Agricultural Experiment Station,
liteeds for laying hens in the fall
should be of such a nature as to pro -
mate end 1110 molting and bring the
et Vote's into a physical condition con-
dutive to early laying. One of the
principal feeds helpful to this end Is
oll meal, which tends to loosen the old'
feathers, put a gloss on the new ones
mid keep the birds healthy. A good
roolting ration will consist of three'
pounds of whole or cracked corn, two
pounds of wheat, one-half pound of
beef scraps, oue-half pound of linseed
meal and one pound of clover or alfal-
fa meal. This is sufficient grain for 100
pounds live weight of fowls per day.
With this should be given in separate
boxes an abundance of grit, oyster
shell, charcoal and clean fresh Water.
Mangels may be given to supply a
further amount of sUcefilent food 831:7

The birds should be given ample yard-

rootn and compelled to take plenty of
exercise. Scattering gulden the litter
In the morning, which necessitates the
birds saratehine for their meal, will
serve as a valuable ald. The custom
of giving the birds a wet.mash in tbe
morning has now gone completely out
of vogue, and with good reason. The
consensus of opinioe at the present.
time Is tbat the' dry mash is much
more desirable. Dry masii fed in hope
pers can be bandied more,eitsily and
at' -.less expense than the wet mash.
A dry mash that will give good results
is composed of the following:
Wheat brand, two parte by weight; mid-
dlingsemne part by weight; cam. meal,
one part by 'weight; lineeed Meal, one
part by weight; alfalfa Or °later meat.

all times important, but especially so

FALL FARROWED UTTERS.
_
A Breeder's Reasons For Preferring
Autumn Born Pigs.
Tbe fit•st thing to be considered is
the brood sow. She should be ot the
right type, regardless of breed, and of
O good, careful disposition, writes F.
G, Laptad in Resume, Farmer. If she
Is a young Sow, unless she Is extra
strong, she should not be bred until
she is a year old. If a gilt Is bred at
eight or ten months of age, sho should
by all means be allowed to miss the
next breeding fleason. After a sow is
two years old she will, with proper
care, be able to raise two litters every
"Ware. are a little partial to tbe fall
farrow because the weather is less
subject to sudden changes than when
the early spring litters are farrowed.
The little pigs get started even and
strong before the cold of fall and win-
ter comes on. Tim first two or three
Months of pig fife IS the important
period of a good hog. We always aim
to be around at farrowing time, wheth•
er it be day or night. We find that in
bandlieg fall pigs two important things
are good shade and plenty of water.
The sows should be shut tkentie
selves at least one week or ten days
before farrowing time, so that they
may become acqnainted with their new
quartersrand illso avoid the danger of
others devouring the little pip.
Tim proposition of ebelter is of great
importance with successful bog rals•
ing. For the farrowing pen We use the
"A" shaped houses. They are very
convenient, light, portable and Mex•
pensive. For shelter for matured ant-
elharn we nee the open sheds, latge
enough for seven or eight good sized
hogs -three good walls, north, east
and west, and shingled roof, a eleteee
to twenty inch board protection on the
south, which can be removed at will,
so as to permit air and sunlight. These
houses tire equipped with wood or con-
crete floors and we find, with a little
bedding, they are plenty warm enougb
for the coldest weather.
We consider the "A" houses the ideal
farrowing shelter and the 0110 11,121
every farmer and breeder should own,
each way and eight feet efteli way,
We use them in two sizes, seven teei
costing from 510 to ein each. The
small houses are plenty large, unless
you [nave an extra large sow.
The sow and pigs should be kept be
thetnseivee until they axe about fifteen
or twenty days old. By this thee thee
will have learned their own mother
and are not so apt to rqb dthet litters,
At that age they can be terned out 15
