On any farm of average size at least one hour a day ---36•

of my Toronto Windmills will give you for profitable work,
rest or recreation besides supplying running water
wherever you want it.
The one bothersome task, that of oiling the windmill in all kinds of
weather, is overcome in the Toronto Self -Oiler, which requires fresh
oil only "once a year," Friction and wear are practically abolished.
Toronto windmills, too, can be made absolutely self-regulating in
operation.
The "Toronto" Tower will stand for a lifetlrtie because it is the
heaviest, strongest and' best -braced one built for any windmill.
Let me explain why l believe this is one of the lest conveniences

From Tampa we proceeded Northward

prefer thearoma of balsam and alti-

From there on to Warrenton, N.C., a
town as old as the American Revolu-
tion, where we enjoyed a rest in a
most perfect little hotel, quite new,
but of colonial architecture and fur-
nishings of most charming character
—where every comfort was accorded
its guests, and from which we were
reluctant indeed to depart. From War-
renton we entered the historic State
of Virginia—great in history. but alas
—not so great in thoroughfare! Al-
though each year sees a great im-
provement in this State and ere long
one may confidentially expect to find
excellent roads throughout. We pass-

1 DEATH TO WIRE WORMNIS
rMan as Mixture That
Stratford H M.
Has Proven Success
The wireworm, deadly y
enemy- of
.
the farmers throughout Canada and
especially in Perth County, against
which agricultural science has not
been able to find any effective weap-
on, appears to have now met its
doom . in a preparation discovered by
Mr, J. D. Hoffman, living at 91
Church, Street, Stratford.
After a year of experimenting in
and around Stratford, Mr. Hoffman
has now seen and heard enough to
make him exceedingly optimistic as
success the
future of
his mixture,
The wire worm is hatched by the
click -beetle and feeds on the roots of
grain. It has caused thousands and.
thousands of •dollars loss to the farm-
ers by the crops it has killed. To
date no remedy has been found for
it.
In several parts of Perth County,
Mr. Hoffman has had his discovery
used and the crops now ripening and.
beingcut bear ant'his contention that
itis the
the al thing. He has had the
help of the County Agricultural inclined to
Re-
presentative who isalso
be very hopeful as to the success of
the mixture.
It is sown in the ground with the,
oats, wheat or whatever grain is
being used. There is no, poison in it,
and it seems to 'help rather than re-
tard the growth of the seeds with
which it is planted. It acts as a re-
pellent to the wire worm.
One of the best tests made this year
is out at the farm of Mr. Robert
Thompson in: Downie, on a large field
of oats.,Mr, Thompson used; about
1,800 pouds of the new stuff and to-
day has a crop that may get first
prize in the Field Crop Competition
judged this week. The yield is esti-
mated to be between 90
• e n to zoo bushels
to the acre, and stands four feet high
and over..
This same field was infested with
the wire worm last year and Mr.
Thompson. says they have disappear-
ed . this year. He stated today that
he would certainly use more of the
stuff, at the first sign of more wire
worins. '. .
An interesting feature of this ex-
periment is that in one corner of the
field where Mr. Thompson ran out of
Mr. Hoffman's mixture the yield is
very, very poor, Whether this is due
to the absence of the mixture there
or wet grafted has . not yet been., de-
finitely settled,:`but it looks well for
Mr, Hoffman.
Other expeilments in the County
have met with similar success,
Mr. Hoffman has patents on his
mixture applied for.

PERILS OF THE AGE
A Tragedy
The old-fashioned burglar pried up
the window with his old fashioned
jimmy, and cast the eye of the old-
fashioned lantern around the room.
It was his first job after twenty years
up the river. With a grunt of satis-
faction, he noticed the object of his
search, and dropped to his knees to
rub his fingertips on the bottom of
the rug. The old feeling of . hair-
breadth sensitiveness was still there,
n began to
dial and b
as he grasped-theg
twirl it,. There was no sound of fall-
ing tumble to reveal the combination,
even to his sensitive ear. In ,perplexi-
ty the old-fashioned burglar flashed
his light on again. It was a new..
kind of safe for there were two dials.
The old fashioned burglar grasped
the other and slowly turned it. There
suddenly appeared a dull glow of
light. A burglar alarm! ' Hewas
trapped,
A voice spoke out of the silence.
"Who's there," gasped the old-
fashioned burglar, his nerve gone.
"WJZ, Newark, New Jersey, O.D,F.
Announcing," replied the voice,
"Recitation, 'Uncle Giggly's Bed Time
Story "

amidst the stately rows of poplars of
Lombardy and evergreens -and each
with its beautiful loving tribute to its.
horoic soldier dead. And its universal
kindly courtesy we have encountered
everywhere. We salute you all, and

welcome awaits you in "Florida, the

No more would we fish on Maitland

No more for a bite we'd wait.
