Quebec. The inhestigation con- ducted by the Seed Branch shows that 956 farmers ware planting in drilla at an averate rate of 2,11 pecks of seed per acre and .350 planted in squares or, hills at (1.17 ,pecks of seed per acre. The average resultseof thirty-two sep- arate tests conducted roughoUt Oh- tario tor a five year period shows that the hill method (gave one ton of green crop par acre more\ than the drilis, and three eighths of this ton was in the form of freshly -husked ears. A. four year average at the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, shows two and three- quarter tons per acre in favor of the hill method. Hills should be three feet apart each way and contain three or four plaets. Rows shOuld be thr:ee feet ,apart and. the plants nine inciiee apart in the row. Three and a half feet spac- ing might be preferable for large -grow- ing varieties or weedy land.

GUARDING AN ARMY Order of -AdvgnOe ot -a Division _ on the March.. - TACTICS IN TIME OF BATTLE._ Careful and Elaborate Disposition of the Detached Troops to Secure the Main Body Against Surprise -The Flanks and the Rear Guard. 'The civilian in reading stories of battles and accounts of marches and at- tacks by an army in times of war finds many expressions* that he does not clearly understand -such, for in- stance, as referenees to independent cavalry, the advanee guard, advance cavnlry, point and flank patrols, the support the reserve, the main body, fiank guard and rear guards -and it Is reasonable to believe that there is eon - fusion in nany minds as to signill- ca-rice and relation of these things" said an army officer. . "Let ne assutne that a division is on the march, andby the waya division Is the basis in the United States or. ganization for the mobile army and is a unit Made up of all riecessary. arms and services complete for independent action incident to ordinary operationit.

This cavalry is so far to the Mint that it could not prevent the enemy slipping In between it and the following army and could not prevent the enemy's patrol from observing the movement of the troops. Time other precautions are taken, and -one or two marebes be- hind the independent cavalry marches tbe advanen guard: • "First the advance guardis the advence cavalry, commonly one squad- ron, vrhich sends ahead a point or . leading patrol and sends on both sides to march across eountrte,or on roads paralleling the tine of match small bodies called flanking patrols. An this Is to clear the country of the enemy or give tlmelv notiee of his approach or Ms -presence.

Be- hind the main body marches the rear guard. Its component parts are gen- erally as_fartiehind the main body as those of the advance guard are in front of it. though oh a night marcb it draws closer to the main body. 'This careful and elaborate dispoei- . don of troops on the march is to se-. cure the division against surprise. to prevent small parties of 'the enemy de- laying the march and. if the enemy lie encountered in force. to hold him long enough for the main body to prepare for action and take up the best posi. tion effered by the country. "The arrangement and position of the vinous forces as given above," concluded the military man, "are. as I said at the beginning, the usual dis- position of advance troops of a di- vision on the march. and for larger commands than a' division you want to, inerease the strength of -the inde- Pendent cavalry, advance cavalry and patrols, support and reserve, an also increase the distances.

The Boy Who Began His Career by . Buying Soap at Auction. A boy eleven years old stood at an auction room door and gazed with in- terest at the crovvd Of men gathered round the auctioneer. His curiosity led him to enter the room. His atten- tion was attracted to several boxes of eollet soap. the Icnti, he noticedt that tils mother used (at home.

"How much would you give me fpr a box of that soap such as*my mother buys?" be asked.. Tile druggist, ready to please the boy, named a cer- tain price. When tbe youngster asked if ' he could use several hoses the druggist thought it was a good joke and replied that he could use all that the lad would sell him. The boy hastened hotne. Be emptied his little savings bank and ran back to the auction rooms tvith the money.-,, carefully wrapped in aehandkerchlet. The soap WttS still unsold, and the boy edged his -way through the crowd to tbe platform. When the soap came under ;the auctioneer's bammer the boy's )itfle piping voice made the first bid. The other buyers were so amused at his youth and his serious manner that they let, him carry off Ms transac- tion without a tontestand the boy got twenty-two boxes of toilet -soap at a small fraction of their value.

"1 bought th.em at the auction." he said proudly, •'1 eould have done that myself." complained the druggist, but as he had promised to buy the soap he had to keep his word.

The mere fact that a modern de- stroyer is three or four times as large as one of the earlier boats renders it so inuch more seaworthy and capable of carrying so much more fuel that the radius of ection of torpedo boat craft has been enonnously increased, and they have become more and more dangerous to an enemy's fleet. The duties of a modern 'flotilla may be tabulated in this way: FIrst-Scouting. This comprises lo- cating and reporting the position of the enemy and keeping in touch with aim as long as may be necessary.

TIRED THE MUSICIANS. How Strauss Once Snubbed a Russian iCourt Dignitary. When Johann Strauss' took his or- eheatra t� Russia he had some un- usual experiences not generally vouchsafed to those who live °TAW* an autocratic government. One day he received the Czarina's commands to play before her at her summer resort and was told on ar- riving there that he would have to rehearse his program three times - before the .performanee. He ,begged • to know the reason for that, but no explanation was given him. These were Her Majesty's orders, and he could only comply. Still, his as- tonishment grew when he saw during the three rehearsata an empty court carriage drawn by a par of horses slowly going back and forth in front of his orcheatra. Throughout the final performance the mysterious,eact was explained. The Empress,havin a sharp attack of gout, Tea obliged to reettee in the carriage, her foot isti a cusitlien, while the concert - took place, and the obe _teeing rehiarsal had been ta 20e124 -- a APRIL 2.

Although he was pretty fatigued bg his three rehearsala and state p rformance, Strauss th aght itexs pedient to comply, bit after he had played continuously for over an hour he stopped, saying, "I presume that will be sufficieutre , "I am not at all tired," coolly re- joined his excellency., - "But I am!" said Strauss and rose from the instrument. Use Bicarbonate of Soda. What is the • secret of destroying the "Onion breath?" Not all the spices of Araby can do it, but there Is a simple deodorant that has its place on every cupboard shelf which will do the trick. Bend low and lend an ear—plain bicarbonate of soda, saleratus or bak- ing segla --- take your choice of a name, the effect is the same, Gargle with, a solution made by dissoleing one to one and a half tea- spoonfuls of the soda in a glassful of water, and gargle and gargle and gargle; then sally forth to your dance with a clear conseience and a eweet, clean breath. _ The virtues of bicarbonate of soda, as a reodorant are khown and appre- ciated by very few — most of them nurses and physicians. What woman will not he glad to learn, for instauce, that it is a perfect neutralizer of pere spiration odors? There are xnany ex- penaive powders put up for this pur- pose, and some of them are effective, but plain sodium bicarbonate at five cents a -whole lot is quite as good as the best of them. It may be rubbed on the shields or through the arm- holes of a white shirt waizt and be relied upon to neutralite any odor.

The universe is now declared to be finite. yet of a magnificence ot dimensions and of a populousness far Ueyouci all earlier concePtidps. This aseumetioa .is a result of vet:, recent investigations Into the motions and distances. or the stars. The latest studies on the subject of the number as well as the Iigtit of the stars hive been made at the -royal ob- servatory at Greenwich, England. The ate Ifrankilin Adams succeeded in mak- ing a set of 200 photographs' covering the entire sky. After counts were' made on these pictures. from whieb the brightness of the self luminous bodies between practically the twelfth and seventeenth magnitudes could be in- rerred, . it was concluded that they recorded about 55,00000 stars.
