There is a rather prevalent belief that cypress with dark -colored heartwood is the most durable, but the opinion of the United States For- est Products Laboratory is that as far as durability is concerned the color of the wood makes very little difference. In service records ob- tained by the laboratory any differ- ence in the length of service of red cypress and yellow cypress appears to be due entirely to a difference in the amount of sapwood in the timbers. Cypress trees with light- colored heartwood usually have more sapwood than those with dark -color- ed heartwood, and sapwood is not resistant to decay WHY DOES SALT MELT SNOW? When Fahrenheit, who gave his name to the thermometer in most general use to -day, made his ex- tremely interesting experiments with varying degrees of temperature in the early part of the eighteenth century, he found that the lowest temperature which he could obtain wee that secured from u mixture of ire and salt. This mixture, which slowly melts the salt, produces a liquid which is much eulder than water at the freezing point --32 de- grees above zero -or even of snow, which might be referred to as loose- ly frozen rain. The addition of coarse salt to scow or broken particles of ice therefore rause hath the snow and the ice to melt, changing the character of both, and producing a liquid which has a much lower freezing point than water. If salt is applied to snow in extremely cold weather little chrinlassee n0tieeeable because the re- sultant liquid freezes as fast ns it s formed. But when the thermome- ter is around 25 or 30 degress the snow will disappear rapidly. flowing ff in the forst of brine, just as he ice and salt in an ice cream) freezer soon resolves itself into a ubstar,e, which remains liquid at a Cmperature when plain water would congeal.

Every school boy knows that the name "America" refers to the ex- plorer Atnericus Vespucci, but cora- partitively few know of the circum- stances which led up to tbs.: bestowal of this name, rather than that of Columbus, upon the new world. Ma- jor, the expert on the science of map drawing, has shown that the appellation. "America" first appear- ed on the map of the world drawn by no leas an artist than Leonardo da Vinci, and he explains the cir- cumstances which led up to its adoption as follows: "The first map known to exist with the new world delineated upon it is that drawn by Juan de la Cosa, the pilot of Columbus on his secohd voyage. This map is dated 1500. Juan de la Cosa' was with Ojeda and Vespucci, and afterwards with Ojeda on his last and ill-fated expedition. In Mal, 1507, just the year after the death of Columbus, a man named Martin Waldseemul- ler wrote a book to which was ap- pended a Latin account of the four voyages of Vespucci. In this book, published at St. Die in Lorraine, Waldseemull er proposed that the. name 'America' should be given to the new world, in honor of Vespucci, whom he erroneously supposed was the discover of the continent. "Irl 1508 the first engraved map containing, the new world appeared in an edit'nn of Ptolomy, nrinced at Rome; but 'lis does not bear the name Ateer'ca But in 1509 this name appears as if it were tlr•eady acrep:ed as e well known denomina- tion in an anonymous work en- titled 'Globus Mundi,' published at Strasburg. The neap of the world of Leonardo da Vinci, presumably issued in 1514, has the name Am- erica across the South American con- tinent as well as the north -thus a Dutch author and an Italian art- ist contrived, possibly without malice, to rob Columbus of at least some of the fruits of his courage and perseverance." SPRAYING, AGAINST DISEASE, INSECTS Safeguarding fruit trees, berries and other plants against the ravages of insects and disease is as essential to success as pruning, cultivating and ether gardening operations. Unfor- tunately, there is a bug, blight or pes- tilence of some sort for almost every- thing that grows. Combating these enemies is therefore, one of the first responsibilities of thgardener. The experienced fruit grower does not wait for the appearance of pests. He assumes that they are "on their way," and plans to meet them with a "poisonous reception" before they have had a chance to do any damage. Such precautionary measures have conte into general practice, and are usually carried out on a well-defined schedule among orchardists. In the main, there are three ways of destroying plant enemies -by spraying, dusting and gassing. Spray- ing is the most widely used method, the most convenient and probably the only method that. should be consider- ed by the home gardener, leastways in connection with trees and bushes. There are two classes of poisonous sprays -those which are intended to control insect. pests commonly known as insecticides, and those which are intended to check or prevent disease. called fungicides. The solution in- tended aolely to kill insects rarely has any value as a fungicide, and tine out -and -Ont fungicide seldom has any virtue as an insecticide. Insect -destroying sprays must be considered from still another angle. For effective results they must be considered according to the manner in which tine insects do their feeding. Certain species feed by biting and El 1.1 Happily Stopped When He Hegel To Take Fruit -a -tires 8 O*AWA ST., HULL, P. Q.

Beetles caterpillars and worms are in this riaas. To kill them we simply distribute a poison on the foliage or other parts of the plant on which they feed, and in this way rein h the stomach of the pest. Renee the term "stomach poisons." Paris green is the) old standby of this class of poisons, though in recent years arsenate of lead has grown in favor, because it is less. likely to injure the foliage; also because i, is not so easily wash- ed off by rain:. Insects whi, h have no jaws, but which do their feeding by means of piere ig mouth parts that suck the plant juices trim beneath the outer surface of the bark or leaves, are seldom affected by stomach poisons. Aphides, seal, insects, thrips and mites are in this class. Their in- juries are not so noticeable as in the first group, but they are just as serious. For this class of insects it is neces- sary to use substance which will act externally on the body of these in- sects usually caustic liquids, common- ly called contact sprays. Death is caused by the absorption of the poison or by suffocating the insects by dos- ing their breathing pores, or by stifling the pests by filling the air about them with poisonous fumes. In short when 'we apply stomach poisons, our object is to coat the plants. In applying contact insecti- cides we aim to coat the pests them- selves.

It is widely used by or- chardists at this season, while trees are in a dormant state, at which time; it is absolutely safe, killing all forms I of scale insects, the eggs of plant lice. and so forth.

These nozzles are mounted on spray rods or poles, ten or more feet (n length, for reach- ing the tops of trees and inaccessible places.

Success followed this venture, in- a la measure., and perhaps some of new enthusiasm is inspired by t publication. It is unifying Ayrsh interest in Canada, and- also giv Ayrshire men a broader outlook.

H prominence in Canada is not to exploiting by the millionaire ; farmer, but to the "farmer -breeder," 1 whom she has helped lift the mort- gal,+e, pay his debts, erect his mod- ern barn, and add a few of the pre- ent day conveniences to his home. Few of these men have gone in for he making of big records. Like the Scotch breeder, they are satisfied with records made under ordinary armer conditions -milking twice a ay and no forced feeding. An oc- asional breeder has gong in for the ig record just to sho* what the reed could do when pushed and hey have been rewarded by big re- ords,-records of milk of 19,000 nd 20,000 pounds with a correspond - ng record of fat. The records of erformance has done much for the yrshire in showing up her produc- ion and has revealed some wonder- ul producers. It shows, too, that he average production is increasing is the percentage of butter fat. rtjcularly is this so in the junior asses. The following summary ows what has been done to Febru- ry lst, 1921:- 506 mature cows gave yearly aver- ge of 10;256 lbs. milk; 412 lbs. fat. 194 four -year-olds averaged 9.483 s. milk and 387 lbs. fat. 336 three -year-olds averaged 8,533 lbs. milk and 315 lbs. fat. 643 two -year-olds averaged 7,590 tbs. milk and 315 lbs. fat. Average for 1,679 cows and heif- s, 8,797 lbs. milk and 361 lbs. fat. erage per cent. of fats 4.10. A family of 1,679 cows that can give such a high average is not to be sneezed at and is a big asset to ally country. In all measures for the advance- ment of the dairy industry, Ayrshire men are among the first to Move. This was particularly so in the commencement of the R. O.
