If the'fruit grower, vegetable grow- er, or flower grower does not .spray nowadays, he.. is .almost • eertain to have inferior products. in his orchard, small fruit plantation and gerden. There aro so many injurious insects and diseases which affect a large pro- portion of the plants he grows that •if they are uncontrolled there will either be no crop deft or else the value of the crop will be very much reduced. There are few of these insects and diseases which cannot be well con- trolled by using some of the remedies which have been discovered during the past twenty-five or thirty years and which have been well tested by many experiments. ...- Spraying Spraying must, however, be thor- oughly done if good results are to be obtained. Materials are expensive; and the' cost of labor is high, and money will be wasted if the work is improperly done or not done at the right time. The early spraying are, as a rule, the most important, and those who contemplate spraying as all should who have orchards or gardens, should get everything in readiness to begin at the right time as delay niay mean • much loss.. Spray Calendars are is- sued by the Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture, in which several sprayings 'axe recommended to be applied at certain stages in the development of the leaves, flowers, and fruit. In the case of fruit trees the spray should be applied so that every leaf, bud, and fruit will, ;if pos- sible, receive some of the material, not only on one part of it, but as nearly all over as possible. Every leaf, flower and bud or young fruits• missed means a possible starting point for disease or insect pests.. In the case of vegetables promptness in the application of a good spray is just as important as with fruits. One does not need to be convinced of the value of promptness in using poison in con -1 • trolling the Colorado potato beetle, as' the results of the spray are imniedi ately apparent in the death of the "bugs"; but more faith is required when dealing with diseases and insects which are not so readily seen but which do much harm, and usually the grower is well rewarded for such faith. The formulae for the mixtures and solutions recommended should be f ol- lowed as closely as possible. If a man knows the chemical composition of the materials he uses, and has made a and' a study of spraying, he may alter there value to historic spring up tos preserve. toric buildingsgse SoSoda, a, slightly to meet eertain circumstances, E oa..ar•p.,..,na.n.•. ,..y.,q.,yen.•.a•.e..a.. .o•.a..`..y..P 6.a..m;. �qq 4 Furred Tongue, Bad Taste, indiges- tion, Sallow Skin, and Miserable Head- aches come from a torpid liver and slugglsli ''owels, which cause the stomach to ,become filled with undi- gested food, which sours and fer- ments, forming . acids, gases, and poisons.

Canada produces 90 per cent. of the lobster supply of the world, surd in addition, the finest lobsters. The lobsters of the New England coast are the littie brothers of the noble crustaceans native to the more north- ern and colder waters of Labrador, and, indeed, Canadian female lobsters are selected for use in American hatcheries to improve the strain. The Labrador coast has the greatest known supply, but is too distant to be available for commercial purposes at present. The main supply now comes from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, par- ticularly around the famous Island of Anticosti, and from the waters about Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia is famous for romance, apples, cherries, and, last but not least, lobsters. The government has every intention that this happy state of affairs shall continue and maintains fifteen hatcheries in the province. The lobsters are also guarded out of sea- son by strict protective laws. The Nova Scotia 1919 lobster sea- son has been very satisfactory, The total catch is given as 5,825,096 pounds, valued at $1,396,946. The catch was somewhat smaller than in 1918, when the quantity was 6,285,820 pounds, but a much higher valuation is put on the 1919 catch. The value of the 1918 catch was $799,897. In 1919 there were 1,020,864 pounds of lobsters put up in the canneries and 4,831,232 pounds of live lobsters were sported. In Nova Scotia the price for live lobsters was 10 cents a pound, but much higher prices 'were paid In Boston, where canned Nova Scotia 'lobster brought 67.8 cents a pound. The 1919 season lasted only from March 1 to May 31, instead of from December 15 to May 31, ao in pre- vious years.

Perhaps the most famous of these memorials of the past in Canada is the Chateau de Ramezay in Montreal, which has remained almost untouched since the days of the old Freneh re- gime. It was built in 1705 by Seigneur Claude de Ramer ay, eleventh gove. nor of Montreal. Here he kept open house with his wife, whose hand was the re- ward of his gallant sortie with 800 men In aid of Quebec In 1690, when the Count de Frantenac,.governor of Canada, fended off the English fleet of Sir William Phipps. The Chateau stands in what was once the fashionable tart of old Mont- real, amid mansions a1:d gardens that merged into the neighboring forests. To -day the homes of Montreal have forsaken the burry waterfront and climb, their charming gardens still clinging . to them, up the slopes of Mount Royal, From the days of de Ramezay the Chateau has been the scene of many historic assemblies. Its roof shelter- ed not only the governors-genoral, their suites of fair women and bravo men and their illustrious guests, but fur traders, scouts, militia leaders, and Indians. In 1745 it passed into the hands of the Campagnie des Indes and as India House become the -centre of a great fur tracle,•filling this picturesque and important role for nearly twenty years. In 1763, after the cession of Canada, it was again the residence of the governor, and invitations to recep- tions held there during the following century are still in existence. The Chateau' Was headquarters for ' the army of the Coutitreutai Congress in its fruitless effort to bold Canada for the thirteen colonies. ,After' Bene diet Arnold failed in. bis treason he retired to Montreal and ..tayetl there for a time. Benjamin Franklin lived in the Chateau when he visited Mont- real in 1776 in his effort to persuade the French Canadians to join the new nation to the south, brit leis -eels a vain hope. During his stay there he es- tablished the Montreal "Gezette," which is still running. Needless to say, he did not found this paper for the purpose of propaganda. After 1849, the Chateau was for thirty-five years used for government offices. When the government re- moved to Ottawa, the citypresented the Chateau to the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society for a museum, and as such it is unique. Tis collec- tion contains all sorts of things rang- ing from crude home-made Utensils fashioned by tile clumsy bands of fron- tier habitants to portraits done by world-renowned artists. One of the most precious things among the thousands catalogued is the. Louis- bourg bell, hung in the church' there in 1724.

Any theory which attempts to ex- plain the formation of our world must- take usttake into account certain curious facts. Among these are, first: There is a great preponderance of Iand in the northern hemisphere and of 'eater in the southern. Second: Most oceans and most continents are more or less triangular in shape and they nearly Glx point southward. Third: The land forms an almost unbroken ring in the north and water in the south. Fourth: If we place a map of the northern hemisphere over the southern it will be found that laid never falls over land, but always over water, except in a few small patches. These curious facts have given rise to the so-called "tetrahedral" theory of the formation of our globe. It has been found by experiment that a round tube under pressure tends to collapse into a triangular form. This gives the greatest amount of surface for the relative area. Our earth in cool- ing shrinks, and consequently its spherical form (maintained by its re- volution or spinning) tends to fall in- to this triangular or tetrahedral shape. The result of this is that cer- tain fiat surfaces are formed and also certain points or angles which pro- ject. Water, being fluid, tends to flow onto the fiat spaces, being nearer the center of gravity than the projecting t7orner's. .The result. is that the "continents," which correspond on this theory to the corners, would project or rise above the' level of the water, and if we examined a reap of the world with this theory in view it will be found that the general conformation be, the laud and water and their distribution on our globe correspond precisely to this theory.

The tack got its name -through the methods the British War Office em- ployed to produce the first tanks with- out ;permitting the enemy to know of their construction,. • The name is not derived from resemblance to any con- ventional tank. In England, when the tank experiments were started, a big enclosure was constructed and no one was allowed in it except workmen and others engaged in the work. Civilians were kept a safe distance by the circulation of a story that terrible explosives and poison gases were be- ing manufactured in the enclosure. As the work progressed it became neces- sary to invent a better story to ac- count for the existence of the plant. So very clandestinely, it was, allowed to become known from the war office that oil tanks for Russia were being manufactured in great numbers. From this story the name "tank" came to be applied to the new form of armored ear before their use in battle, and the name stuck. For Spanis e The Liniment that Cures All Ailments— a.

Spiders are responsible for a great deal of trouble with telegraph lines in Argentina and Brazil. The ground spider spins a heavy web, which, ac- cording to daily press accounts, the wind wraps round the wires in great masses. In wet weather they cause short circuits. Repair men are obliged constantly to follow the wires across the country and remove the webs. The South American spider is not the small and harmless insect so familiar in North America.

Firewood, small pulp wood and material cut into short sticks for ext celsior, etc., is usually measured by the cord. A cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked woad. The; wood is usually cut into four - foot lengths, in which ease a cord.is a stack foul feet high, four feet wide and eight feet long. ,Sometimes, how- ever, pulp -wood is cut five feet long, and a stack four feet high, five feet wide and eight feet long is considered one cord. In this case the cord con= •tains 160 cubic feet of stacked wood. Where firewood is cut into five-foot lengths, a cord is a stack four feet high and six and one-half feet long; it contains 130 cubic feet of stacked wood. Where it is desirable to use shorter lengths for special purposes, the sticks are often cut one -and one- half, two, or three feet long. A stack of such. wood four feet high and, eight feet long is considered one cord, but the price is always made 'to conform to the shortness of the measure.' .A. cord foot is one-eighth of a cord, and is equivalent to a stack of four - foot wood four feet: high and one foot Wide. Farmers frequently speak of a foot of cord -wood, meaning a cord foot. By the expression "surface foot" is meant the number of square feet measured on the side of a stack. SD. T ISSUE No, 17--'20.
