'NEW WHEE'LINIG AND GEARS.
Silent gear shifting, once sacred to
the high pieced motor, is being coferrel on an ever -widening section

there finally appeared the now 6amo,

aid Earl Thompson put on his thinking
cap. It was during Thompson's
school days, He used to drive a bor-
rowed car, and one, day he decided to
try to improve the cumbetsonte trans-
mission. 'He discovered there 'eves aninterlocicing,enechanismt between the
gear lever and the• clutch throw -out,
which made it impossible 'to engage
the clutch When the gear was in neu-
tral. He made a few changes whichenabled. him to shift sile'n'tly, at defin-
ite car. speeds, while other motorists
were clashing gears al'l over town. The
experiment suggested to Thompson
the,possibility of asilentgear shift at
all speeds,, and the development. of this
thought resulted in the inve'etrion of
the synoro mesh. Insofar as operation
is ceen'cerned the syncro .mesh does not
differ from a .standard transmission.;
there are no added accessories or
changes in movement to. confuse a
driver sod complicate operation.
]Shifting from first to ,second is . done
quietly and easily, without the,possi-
cility of clashing or missing gears.
And shifting from second to high, or

CLINTON
the passing of William J. Miller
whose death occurred Thursday, tate
Wren of Clinton and county of Huron
have lost a very useful and highly es-
teemed citizen: The late W. J. Miller,
who was in his seventy-third year, had
been in failing health for a year but
had been able to be about towns and
attend to business until the early part
of the summer but since then had
been confined to his home and for
some weeks previous to his passing
was confined to his bed. 'Mr. Miller
was a native of this county, having
been horn in Hullett township on the
13th clay of July, 1355. His parents
were the late John Miller and Eliza-
beth Arthur, both of whom were born
in Ireland. After coming to Canada
they lived for a time in Dundas and
NARCISSUS IN WINT
ERI REEDING BEES FOR WINTER.
Bee That They Are First Carefullf
OM Fed With Well Prepared Syrup
--Carefully Replace Pack-
ing for Winter Stand.
At all times during summer and
early autumn care should be taken to
ee that colonies do not starve. So
ong as they have enough for daily
food winter feeding should be de-
layed until the first half of October,
ach hive should then be given all
he syrup it will take. This may be
anywhere from 10 pounds to 40 or 60
pounds, depending on the strength
of the colony and the amount of
stores it already has. The syrup is
made of two parts best granulated
sugar to one of water. ' Boil the
water, then add the sugar and stir
till thoroughly dissolved. The only
points to be observed are to avoid
scorching the sugar and to see that
;no granules are left in the syrup to
tart crystallization after it has been
stored in the combs.
When feeding time 'comes in the
early part of October, the packing is
removed from over the feeder -boards
and a number of filled pails or jars
are inverted over the holes. If the
days are warm this is done towards
;evening to prevent robbing, and if
the nights are cool packing is put
around the feeders to hold the brood-
chamber'teat and help the bees take
down the feed. Aa fast as feeders
�,re emptied they should be refilled,
until the bees signify that theyy have
enough by ceasing all work on the
Feeders, The latter are then remov-
ed, the .burlap, paper and packing
are replaced, and the roof is adjusted
for the winter. The feeding may
e take a week or more in cool weather,
but should be gotten through with
as rapidly as possible after it is once
started.

Agriculture, .Toronto.)
The narcissus varieties may be
potted for winter bloom as soon as
the bulbs are obtained in September
or early October. If it is desired that
the bulbs be grown in the home win-
dow, it ie advisable to use either a
six or eight inch flower pot, setting
from five to ten bulbs, according to
the size of the stock.
Good Deep Boxes for Cut Flowers.
If it is desired to grow the bulb
bloom in quantity and use the cut
dowers in vases, then plant the bulbe
in boxes of any shape and not less
than three inches in depth. A hoz
twenty-four inches by twelve inches
by three in.ohea is very handy. The
Soil should be a rich garden loam to
which add one-third of the bulk of
leaf mould and sufficient sand to ]seep
the soil from clinging, Suitable
drainage provided by means,of
coarse cinders or broken potery.
should first be placed in the bottom
of the pots or boxes and then the
prepared soil in quantity sufficient to
reach within one-half inch from the
a..
p of the box or pot after firming
The bulbs should be pressed into th
soil and covered firmly, just leaving
the tip showing.
Bury the Boxes In the Cellar.
When all the boxes or pots are
prepared such should be buried . if
possible in cold frame or in the base-
ment, watered well, and then covered
with five inches of sand or screened
cinders. This covering will insure
thenecessary cool condition and pre-
vent drying out. Such treatment will
.develop a good vigorous root, system,
a condition which must precede the
bloom. Eight weeps beneath the
sand is usually sufficient. A pot may
be examined then and if found to be
full of roots it can be moved to the
light and heat.

To Spray or to Dust Potatoes?
The high efficiency of liquid Bor-
deaux mixture for the control of In-
sect and fungus enemies of potato
foliage has been demonstrated in
teats so often as to make its use gen-
eral with potato -growers. Dusting
has been used .considerably, but care-
fully conducted tests over a period
of four years show that the practice
is not so efficient as the liquid form
of application. Where water is diffi-
cult to obtain, and in small fields
where it is necessary to use hand
apparatus, dusting is advisable. For
areas larger than one acre and with
water and a power sprayer available,
then spray
