the inentbers ui the Ontario Agri-
cultural and Experimental Union are
pleased to state that for 1908 they are
prepared to distribute into every
township of Onteri() material for ex-
periments with fodder crops. roots,
grains, grasses, clovers and fertilizers.
About 2,200 varieties of farm crops.
have been tested in the Experimental
Department of the Ontario Agricultur-
al College, Guelph, for at least Aye
years in succession. These consist of
varieties from nearly all parts of the
world, some of which have done ex•
ceedingly well in the carefully eon -
ducted experiments at the College and
acres being distributed free of charge
for co-operative experiments through-
out Ontario. The following is the list
of co-operative experiments in agri-
culture for 1908:

"The size of each plot in each of the

Nos. 29 and 30 is to. be two rods long

Each person in Ontarioteho wishes
to join in the work may choose any
one of the experiments for 1908, and
apply for the same. The material will
be furnished in the order in which the
applications are received until the
supply is exhausted. It might be well
for each applicant to make a second
.choice, for fear the first could not be
granted. All material will be furnish-
ed entirely free of charge to each ap-
plicant, and the produce will, of
course, become the property of the
person who conducts the experiment.

n -known; to -day they are met with ev-
erywhere, izt bathrooms, vestibules,
hallways, ;kitchens and dining -rooms
of private residences and in hotels,
railroad stations and public build-
ings of all sorts. In fact, many en-
terpriadaag merchants in. our large cit-
ies have adopted a mosaic pavement
for the sidewalk in front of their
stares as a method of attracting at
tention of the passer-by. Numerous
materials have been used for ceramic
work, but the only ones which are
ha' d enough for pavements are marble
and ceramic tiling, says Cement Age.
Although marble and ceramic mosaics
have many technical and other dif-
ferences with which every, architect,.
contractor, builder or other person
interested' in building operations,
should be familiar. Marble is a natl'
ural stone, a carbonate of lime. The
marble tesserae, as the individual
pieces of the mosaic axe called, have
to be cut and are limited in color to
th shades in which nimble naturally
occurs, Ceramic mosaic is made of
plastic clay and is a silicate of alum -
bee, to which other materials in small
quantities have been added, The cer-
amic tesserae are usually molded in
steel dies, although in art or cut cera-
mio they are cut from strips of baked
clay. ' Different varieties of clay as-
sumedifferent colors when subjected
to the fire of the kiln, and by the ad-
dition of metallic oxides, the clay
tesserae can be provided in almost
any color, shade or tint.

An interesting experiment, made in
June by a physician, proved conclusively
that for the ;sake of coolness only white
should be worn in hot weather. The
physician spread out in an intense sun-
shine a . large piece of white cloth, an-
other of dark yellow, another of light
green, another of dark green,another of
blue and another of black. Then, with
the help of six thermometers, he made
the following table of the various heats
which each color received from the sun-
light:

140 degrees; light green, 155 degrees;
dark green,'degrees; blue, 198 de-

ATE PRAISES ZAM-BUK.
Magistrate Rasmussen, of 202 'Mer-
quette street, Montreal, writes: : b or
many years I was troubled with a seri-
ous eruption .of the akin. This was not
unsightly, bat it was at tines very pain-
ful. I first tried various ' household
rered!ies, but those proved altegether
useless., I then took medical advice.
Not one, but several doctors in turn
were consulted, but I was unable to get
any permanent relief. Some time back
I noticed a report from, a Justice of the
Peace (Magistrate Perry, 3, P. for B. C.)
who •hand been cured, of a clttroniic akin
disease by Zam-Buk; and I determined
tee ggi�ve this balm a trial. After a thor-
oughly fair test, I can say I stn de-
lighted with it. I have the best of res-
sons for this conclusion; because while
everything else I tried—salves, embro-
cations, washes, soaps and doctors' pre-
parations, flailed absolutely to relieve
my pain and lid me of my trouble, three
boxes of Zam-Buk worked a. complete
pure. In my opinion this balm should
be even more widely known than it is,
and I hope that my experience will
lead other sufferers who are in despair
to try this herbal healer, lam-Buk."

A Bad Bargain.
A story is told of the famous Richard
Brineley Sheridan, that one day when
coming back from shooting, with au
empty bag, and seeing a number of ducks
in a pond, while near by a man was lean-
ing on a fence watching them, Sheridan
asked:
"What will you take for a shot *at
the ducks ?"
"Well," said the man, thoughtfully,
"I'll take half a sovereign."
' "Done," said Sheridan, and he fired into
the middle of the flock, killing a dozen
or mere. "I'm afraid you made a bad
bargain," said Sheridan, laughing.
"I don't know about that," the man
replied. "They're not my ducks."—The

The Plague of the "White Nun."
From present indications it appears
that the dreaded "white nun" butterfly,
which in previous years caused such in-
jury to pine forests in Bohemia, is likely
this year to reappear in even greater
numbers. The Ministry of Agriculture
has, therefore, appointed acommission
of experts to consider how best to stop
the ravages of this destructive pest. Be-
ginning in the forests of Saxony and
Bohemia, the "white nun" has gradually
spread over Moravia and Silesia, and
even down to lower Austria as well. As
the forest lands in Austria cover some
twenty-four million acres, more than
two-thirds of which are pine woods, the
necessity for stopping this work of de-
struction is very urgent.

WOODPECKER IN WINTER.
When you children are all tucked in
your warns beds in winter, while the
winds howl outside, and the snow or
the sleet drives against the window
pane, do you not often wonder what the
little furred and feathered ones are
doing on suoh terrible nights?
This is a,problem that used to worry
ire considerab1y+when I was a boy, and
it still does when I know that nuts end
buds are scarce and the winter uncom-
monly cold.
But these little folks take care of
themselves much better than one would
imagine says a writer in the. Circle. Most
of the woodpeckers are still with us
and you will hear them on waxen days
sounding their rat -a -tat -tat cm a dead
limb or see them galloping over the froz-
en fields.
When the woodpecker intends to win-
ter here he begins retaking new quarters
early in the autumn. You may hear him
pounding away for several days if his
winter house is near your own.
He builds his winter house much as he
does the spring nest, making a round
hole running back into the trunk of
the tree a few inches, and then running
it down a way. Here at the bottom he
lines it nicely, and there he sleeps most
of the cold winter, only coming out for
food once or twice a day.
