Red and black currants are native and grow over a wide range of terri- tory in Canada They are planted four to six feet apart, as the bushes take up considerable space after three or four years.

A rich, well-dralned. clay loam is best, al- though they do well In moat soils. good dressing of manure before planting, well worked into the soli, will make conditions 'better. Then is little danger of giving the currant too much tertiliaer. Keep from six to eight main branches each season and a few others coming on to take their places. A good rule is not to have any branches more than three years of age, as younger wood gives strong- er growth and better fruit. In good soil the bushes should bear from six to ten crops before removal and be- fore new ones take their place. In a favorable season, when In full bear- ing, they should yield from four 10 +en pounds per bush. Raspberries. !sled raspberries are generally planted is rows six feet apart and two feet in the row.

When digging take the healthlest runner plants and see that all largo leaves and flower buds are removed before planting. More than one -variety should be planted, because many var- ieties are imperfect, that is, contain pistil parts only, while some, when the• pistil and stamens are in one flower, are perfect. The Imperfect varieties must have pollen from the perfect flower in order to set fruit,-, Generally the best results are obtain- ed where Just one crop is taken; that is, at the end of the second season from planting, plough them under, and reset a new lot each year. Most plantations are allowed to run longer —three or four seasons. In the fall, after the plants have frozen, they should be covered with straw, hay, or, what is still better, spruce or fir boughs. This prevents alternate freez- ing and thawing. In the spring, after the danger from frost is past, the hay or straw 1s drawn off the planta and placed between the rows to serve as a mulch to eonycrve moisture, keep the berries clean and make picking easier. In small gardens plants may be set twelve Inches apart in the row. No runners are allowed to Perm on the plans. -This Is what Is called the "Hill" system and given very ane quality berries. Only varieties with perfect flowers should be used. The only objection to this method of strawberry growing le the amount of labor required to p oft the runup's. —A. Ii:. MacLen an, Vegetable Spe- cialist, Toronto, SCREW roots**, Strolling -one evening long a geuii- a r toad in Bolton Eng d, a young engineer notice(_ that the. eeede fall- ing.from a sycamore tree 'acquired a rotary motion before reaching the round: Taking one up, he found that the two wings were turned in' opposite directions, which caused them to re-• volve in falling. This gave" him the idea of making a screw propeller on the same principle. But the first, man to apply the principle to the propulsion of vessels was a Kentish farmer named Francis P. Smith. The son of a H,ythe poet - master, he had always been fond of making models oL boats, and had in- vented various methods of propelling them. It was not, however, anti! '1834 that he constructed a model of a boat Propelled by a screw driven by a spring, which answered so well that he determined tat this would be a much better means of propulsion for steamboats than the paddle- wheel. Mr. Smith was at this time a cattle grazier at Hendon, and on a horse -pond in one of his fields he tried a number of experiments with a model screw steamboat of his own design. So enthusiastic was he that he continued his experiments at the Adelaide Gallery, near Charing Cross, Loddon, and finally, in 1836, took out a patent for his invention. , A few months later he decided to put his .craw propeller to the test. To do this he built a small vessel of about ted tons, which, when com- pleted, was tried on the Paddington Canal and on the Thames with sat- isfactory results. In 1837 this tiny vessel visited Folkestone, Dover, and other porta, encountering at times very severe weather, which proved—In spite of the warnings of professional critics— that the screw would work equally well in rough seas. The following year a visit was paid to the boat by the Lords of the Ad- miralty, who were so impressed that that they undertook to give the ex- etrient a trial with a view to the adoption of the principle by the British navy. Before doing so, how- ever, they desired to have the test applied to a larger ship. To meet this request, the Arch- imedes, a vessel of 232 tons, was built of Millwall. The Admiraity agreed that if the vessel realized a speed of five miles an hour, the in- vention was to be considered satis- factory. When the trial took place the Archimedes surprised the en- gineering world by steaming at a of nearly t sari sP • ten miles s an hour, Betw'ceri 18:39 and 1840 the vessel visited most of Great Britain's chief ports and crossed the Bay of Bis- cay to Oporto. By this time a num- ber of vessels had been laid down'on the screw principle, and ten . years later nearly a hundred screw steam- ships had been built or ordered to be built. No sooner was the invention as- sured of success than Mr. Smith had to fight a number of persons who laid claims to it. Continued litigation was ncessary to support his right, and law costs made enormous holes in the inventor's profits. Such a boon was the invention that only ten years after its adoption it e as calculateti that if the old paddle- wheel had continued to be in exclus- ive use engines of nearly 100:p,00 horse -power would have been requir- ed, the cost of which would have been five or six million pounds sterling (normally $20,000,000 to $30,000,000).

No business has such an organization for discovering new talent. He mentions the case of four young teen living in a Texas town. One was Rube, a baseball pitcher, another was Harry with stent toward engineering; Don- Don- ald with literary tastes, born executive. Whenhe was nine- teen andom a bo teen Rube pitched a fine game for a local team, and was picked up by the Sacramento club, and by the time he was twenty-one had reached New York and his name was known to millions. The other three remain in the little town. One is chief mechan- ic in a garage; another is night clerk in a hotel. Donald is a newspaper reporter, and has written a play call- ed `Hearts Adrift" which he is en- deavoring, so far without success, to induce somebody to read and pro- duce- Each of them had as much talent in his ,Own special sphere as Rube. Yet pone of them was given the brilliant opportunity to make good, Nobody is scouting for play- wrights, for business executives, or for engineering geniuses. In time any or all of them may succeed, and if so the success is likely to be more permanent than that of a baseball player. But whereas fame and success came to Rube when he was a youth, and with hardly a struggle on his part, they are not likely to overtake the others on the - sunny side of mid- dle age, and then only after a long hard struggle and plenty of luck, If a man is a superlative baseball play- er he does not have to struggle for recognition. The professional base- ball teams are always on the look- out for talent. They keep scouts to hunt out likely prospects. -One New York team has four scoots. The result is that promising players do not have to beg for opportunities to show their abilities like promis- ing young playwrights, for inttande. The urging will come from the other side. Babe Ruth, the beet drawing card in baseball, was dug out of an 'industrial school where he had been committed, by Jack Dunn, manager of the Baltimore team. Dunn had to legally adopt him before he could be secured.

BRITISH SECRET SERVICE MAN IN RUSSIA. V6hat are the prospects of succese for the present Russian uprising against Trotzky and Lenine? Not very favorable, accieseihg to Sir Paul Dukes who left that country a short time ago and is now in New Yolk. He. calls attention to the fact that there have been perhaps a dozen ef- forts made by the anti -Bolshevists in the past three years, and that only four months ago one of them was bloodily suppressed. His opinion is that ir. fnur,months it would be im- possible for the Russians opposed to the present autocrats to organizeantze and provide de themsel res with arms. To P secure the necessary titilitaryequip- ment- wi.uld be a platter of extreme difficulty, for nobody not a member of the Red Committee is permitted to possess a rifle, and even the army itself is not supplied with arms until a battle is about to begin. Of course, there is the prospect of this army. having been served with weapons, turning agdinst the present rulers. This the soldiers would only do• when failure of the revolution seemed impossible. Otherwise the penalties for revolt are so serious as to discharge mutiny. Sir Paul coridrms the opinion of practically every competent observer who has reported upon Russian af- fairs that the Bolshevists are really a small minority of the Russian population, and that the sentiment against them is growing steadily. The peasants now feel that they - have been cheated. It veil all very well to confiscate the land of the rich proprietors, but the workers do not approve of the land being na- tionalized. What they demand is that the land shall be parcelled out and privately owned among those who work upon it. This is the platform, of the Social Revolution- ists. an anti -Bolshevist organiza- tion, which in a fair election would certainly sweep the Bolshevists from. power.

The colonel gave him fre- quent opportunities of visiting Mos- cow to get information and he help- ed him send his letters to England. For two years he was able to keep up his correspondence without being detected. Then feeling that he had done all that he could do and that further sojourn in Russia would be both useless and dangerous -he es- caped into Latvia and thence made his way home to receive among other emoluments a knighthood for his valuable services.

This challenge was pro- claimed 'at the door of. the hall, again half way up the floor and for the third time at the foot ole the steps of the throne, and each time the champion threw down his gaunt- let. It is conceivable that he per- spired with anxiety when waiting t9 see if anyone accepted the chal- lenge. So far as history records this never happened, and all having held their peace, the champion was allowed •to have a drink with the King, and what was of more im- portance, carried off the gold wine cup (not forgetting the cover) as a really royal tip. No doubt he heaved another pro- found sight of relief when he man- aged to get hie steed out of the hall since, in ordet shut to violate royal etiquette by turning his back upon the sovereign he had to back the charger the whole way out. In those times the King's champion was a great personage and conducted him- self with a dignity befitting his lofty state. But times have changed, and not for the better.. For what hap- pened to Frank Seaman Dymoke,; D.L., J.P., the present King's cham- pion and royal standard-bearer of England, the other day? Himself a magistrate, as his title oB Justice of the Peace indicates, he was fined $100 at Horncastle Police Court (where he usually presides over Petty Sessions) "for being found on the licensed premises of the Red Lion Hotel, Horncastle, during pro- hibited hours" one day in January. In other words for indulging in a glass and perhaps several glasses of beer at a tifrle when the law of the land ordains that none of his Majesty's lieges shall be served with intoxicating beverages in any hotel or "public house" throughout the land. A nice thing to happen, to a per- sonage of such illustrious degree, and a magistrate to boot! We are not told if the champion appeared in person to be fined, but Edward N. Ashton, "licensed victualler" and proprietor of the Red Lion Hotel, did, and was likewise "soaked" 3100 for allowing beer to be consumed in his hostelry during _prohibited hours. Mr. Dymoke never has art - peered in his function as King'$ champion, this part of the corona- tion ceremony having been done away with at the enthronement of Wil- liam IV., Victoria, Edward VII. and the present sovereign. After the reign of George IV. the champion's function at coronations was altered to that of Royal Standard -Bearer, and the present head of the historic family duly bore the royal standard aloft at the crowning of Edward VII. and George V. It is regrettable to have to state that this is not the first time that the pretrent King's Cham- pion and Standard -Bearer has been haled into court owing to an in- fraction of the law on his part was fined six years ago for a ing his cook, so evidently gressive spirit of his ancee KING'S CHALLENGER LOSES sista. HIS POSITION This is a degenerate age, sure enough. If you contest that state- ment, consider the deplorable case of the King's Champion and Standard Bearer of England. He is Frank Seaman Dymoke, D.L., J.P., of Scriv- elsby Court, Horncastle, Devon, and the office of King's- Champion, which he bolds by heredity right, is one that dates back to the brave,and far off days of William the Conqueror. , Inthose and later times, when the right of kingship was not "broad- based upon the people's will," but had to be obtained and held at the point of the sword, the King's Champion was the.knit ht whose . duty it was to attend the corona- tion of every king and queen, and to challenge to mortal combat anY who dared contest the monarch's right to the throne, says the New YoSun. Thisrk challenge was staged as they knew how to stage such acta ia the days when knighthood was in flower. The scene of it was the cornation banquet which, up to the time of King- George IV., was held at West- minster Hall immediately after the impresaive religious ceremony of king making in the historic Abbey. The champion astride of a goodly white charger, richly caparisoned, used to ride into the banqueting hall, arriving "before the second course" —his appearance, no doubt, being thuimed in order that all con- cer would be cognizant of what was going on. The champion was arrayed in a complete suit of bright ' armor, accompanied by esquires and pages, and also by the Lord High Constable and the Earl Ma -cabal -- all in their very beat. Trumpets sounded and then the herald pelo- claimed the champion's challenge as follows: "If any person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord the Ring to be the rightfnl heir to the imper- ial - crown .of this United Kingdom, or that he ought to enjoy the eame, here is his campion who salth that that man lieth, and is a false trait- or, being ready in person to combat t He ault- sie ag- rs per - HOW TO DRIVE A SCREW INTO A STONEWALL Housekeepers who live in houses with concrete. brick or stone walls usually find it very difficult to hang pictures or brackets in their rooms even when they have succeeded in drilling or chiselling a hole in the concrete or brick, writes E. J. Holmes in the Popular Science Monthly. Neither nails nor screws will hold in these holes, which necessarily must be made quite large. Elecyriciane who are called upon to attach electric -light fixtures to such walls usually drill holes, fill them with lead and fasten the screws in the lead. Sometimes they use what is called expansion sleeves, which are so designed that the screw, as it is screwed into the sleeve, caus- es the part of the sleeve furthiest away from the surface to expand, thus ta)ling,.-ttrtlr hold of the sur- rounding concrete or brick. All houekseepers who are not ex- pert electrical workers should try steel wool, such as is used for scour- ing metal surfaces. This furnishes an excellent substitute for lead filling or expansion sleeves. The hole should be drilled to the depth of at least one inch and wide enough to hold a sufficiently large screw. Then place e a .rad of steel wool to the hole and drive your screw through the wool into the hole. You will find it im- possible to pull a screw fastened in this rammer out of the hole with your hands. Milk will soften the polish that has hardened and improve its lustre.
