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

Nova Scotia Lobsters Tempt
American Palates.
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.

of the past.
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.

Earth's Formation.
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.
Your lack of money may be the
fault of circumstances; but your lack
of friends is certainly your own.

How the Tank Got Its Name.
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.

Spider -web Short Circuits.
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.

Measuring Corot -Wood.
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.
