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: No. Experiments.

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.

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.

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 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 Christian Advocate. Fletcher's Rules.

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. 4•a.

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.
