A great idea stole into the world lately when someone suggested pyjama suits with short sleeves and short trouser-legs:No one, so far as is known, had thought,of it before; and yet it is flaw as clear as the summer sun that for this the world has been long preparing. How many a year has passed since men Wore high stocks, or "chokers," and 'broad cloth !coats! The flannel petticoat shrank unloved out of a freer, hardier world. 'The cotton stocking bhat was wont to nestle snugly,beneath it went down !before silk (or something like it) ex- posed to three of the'fotir elements in any combination that might happen. ,Then, for certain purposes, the stock- ings went, too.

Spraying for Potato Blight Begins— By Using Bordeaux Mixture and Paris Green ancrettsed Potato Crop Will Be Harvested. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) IN a season of tabor scarcity hay- ing is a Problem on the average farna. It is necessary to make use of all the modern machinery available in order to expedite the saving of this impoitant crop. First, then, we must emphasize the use of machinery in cueing and storing. Men are not ,to be had in plentiful supply, but, in most cases' some form of co-operation may be resorted to in order to obtain the use of tedders, hay loaders and horse forks to hen-. die the bulk of the erop. By all means plan to use machinery ine place of men this year oreotherwiee considerable of the crop will not be harvested in the best possible condi- tion. It is usually Safe to cut after a rain when the weather appears ,to have cleared. Red clover should be cut when about one-third of the heads have turned broven. The ted - der .should then be used until the crop M dry enough to rake --a period which will vary according to the weight of the cutting, the weather and the amount of sap in the stalk. While it is possible to make slightly better hay by cocking da, this will be a practice of doubtful value this year in. view Of the labor ehortage. Gather with a side -delivery rake if possible, or in sinalMwindrovvs with an ordi- nary dump rake. The hay loader works beat with a small windrow. By all means us a loader if possible and to facilitate matters a sliding rack may be used so that when one- half the rack is loaded it may be pulled ahead and the remainder loaded. ' We mention red clover because it is the commonest and most eatisfac- tory hay crop, and is used in all gen- eial farming hay mixture. Timothy should be cut either after it is out of the first blossom or after the second blossom has fallen—gen- erally the latter. It will require less tedding than clover, Is more easily cured and may be drawn in sooner after cutting. Do not let it get too ripe and woody. . Alfalfa should be cut when the young shoots ere noticed starting out fromsthe exits al the lower leaves on Site stalks, and should he handled much like red clover, only greater ewe is necessary to preserve the leaves, a very valuable portion of the plants.—Prof. Wade Toole, Ontario ,Agricultueal Coll P..-9:-.4- 1; A:1E0'rd, lArtford," einlledout the' conch -rotor, • ' "Yoe drooped. an nsaid a 'Thet' all r'ndi ole; .we'll pick bit feno at. 4Hlaitherst."

GRASSHOPPERS AID HUNGRY. Natives of China Make Appetizing Dishes of Them. Shortage of food in the Tientsin - Peking sections of China, during the past year has been augumented by the vast clouds of. grasshoppers which devastated fields and grbwing crops. The insects have been so numerous, indeed, that in spite of the higher prices for most foodstuffs, grass- hoppere have been cheaper in the market than for many years. At times they have actually been procurable for sixmoppers a catty, so that in the grasshopper sections , of China the H.C.L. would not have been so bad, Furthermore, these were the shy and elusive variety— ratber more flyers than hoppers— for to move about they depend upon wings rather than legs.

DUTCH BRICKS AS BALLAST. Many Old Houses Around New York Built of These Bricks: Many an ancient house in and about New York is said to have been built with imported Dutch bricks. The little American vessels that trad- ed with the West found it cheaper to ballast with Dutch bricks and sell them In New York for a trifle than to ballast with stones, a scarce arti- cle in. Holland anyhow, and dump them in the harbor. So good Rotter- dam bricks might get into a New York chimney; as for similar reasons bricks loaded in London might help rear a Virginia planter's stately man- sion on the James, with local brick - kilns near. Nothinec'ever changes. In 1928, just as in 1660, westward cargoes are lighter than eastward; and the Amer- fgg Earners' Protective Con- fereetee eomplains that bricks—duty tam 'lay the 1932 tariff — are still brought over as ballast, depriving many a stout felow of a day's work here, and it demands tlie reimpoSition of a tariff. Whatever may be thought of an import relatively trivial In amount, it is at any rate nothing new in Amercan indus.ral history. • RIGHT RIND OF mown. Not Only Inevitable, Bat at Timet. • Necessary. There is such a thing as righteous anger. 'Angee is not only inevitable, tale at times necessary, says Arthur Ponsonby, M.P. Its absence means Mdifference, the most disastrous of all human fallings. Indignation eas been the motive power behind the great forward movements in the his- tory of humanity.

As the draw- ings are the only pictures of the fort of that period, they are most valuable historically in allowing tbe various buildings of the garrison eight Years before the Americans destroyed 11. Hitherto, there had beet. come doubt as to just what the Tort looked like In the hest decade of the nineteenth century. The sketches purchased by Mr. Doughty of the Canadian Ar- chives, Ottawa, were, in part, repro- duced in the press at the time, and if at some future date Toroiatonians might desire to reconstruct the most historic landmark in that city, the drawings would furnish the inform- ation desired, says an article in the Toronto Telegram. In this connection it Is interesting to eee that a quaint old engraving discovered in the Bodleian. Library at Oxford University is being studied for the reepreation of part of Williame- burg, the ancient capital of Virginia. A research worker engaged in obtain- ing information for the restoration to Williantsbur= by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., ea rritimiofits old Colonial dig- nItes Sound an-enTiiiied 'caliper plate among the Bodleian records. This (Recovery has been regarded as the moat important step in the entire re- search, it seems. On the plate is engraved a view of the first capitol. known as such, in North America, — older by far than the first capitol in Washington, whieh was burned down by a British force in 1814, as a return call for the burn- ing of the Parliament Buildings, York (Toronto), less than a year be- fore. Another view shows the first royal governor's, palace in the former American Colonies; a third deplete the oldest academic building in the Colonies; a fourthathe first Indian school. Another shows the house of the president of William and Mare College—the latter an institution ,still flourishing, and from whin graduated Christopher Robinson, one of the first barristers enrolled in To- ronto and founder of a celebrated Canadian legal family, tiro fourth generation of which is practicing in that city. The capitol, the palace and the main building of a Virginian college, which was named after William of Orange and his queen, are the three major buildings of the restoration. For more than two years research workers had sought views of these three buildings, searching every possible source in America and Eng- land. The Bodleian plate provided all in a single find. The discovery was made by Miss Mary Goodwin, of Williamsburg, and a print was immediately made from the engraving and transmitted by ra- dio to the United States. Restoration officials, however, reported that their architects, working chiefly from writ- ten records and archaeological nna- ings, had prepared drawings before the discovery was made, which are now foundeto be almost identical with the engraved views. The plate is, nevertheless, held to be most valu- able as corroborative evidence. Apparently no other authentic pic- ture of the bulldines in that epoch exists, the Oxford plate havIne'eva dently been prepared between 1732, when the college president's i101174 was erected, and 1746, when the first capitol was burned. The plate meas.. urea about 15% inches by 11% inches, and is divided into throe 'zee - Lions, one of which represents EOM flora and fauna, of the country, ;mow- ing, among other things a naked man smoking a pipe, and spocirnea of that tiny marine creature, the sea - horse. Brafferton Indian School, shown on the plate, was erected in 1723, ana Presumably amplified in tho minter. 200 years. It still stands and le sal) in use, though for white college Pur- poses. The view of William and Mary Colee'e is a front one. Directed in 1695, it is the oldest ecaeonaie build- ing in the United Statee, and said te be the only definite example on this continent of Sir Christopher Wrena architecture. 'Fire has clemageil the building three times, but the wails are largely original and the picture shows the place as it looked after the ant fire of 1705.
