FREEZING BEATS GAS FOR " DESTROYING MOTHS The usual procedure, when flour =ills become infested with the Mediterranean moth, the larvae of which gets into the flour,/is to close 4e mill tightly arfd "gas" the in- sects. Last Winter a mill at Willis- ton, N. Dak., howevq, requested the local Weather Bureau office to notify the company whenever a temperature .of 20 degrees or lower for at least several hours could be anticipated. As soon as weather 'sufficiently _cold -was forecast, the company put out all Ares and opened doors and windows. 'That night the temperature reached :30 degrees F., and did not go above 17 degrees F. the next day. Accord - Ing to the report of the company to the United States Department of Agriculture, through the Weather Bureau, all moths and most of the ,saggs were frozen, and the process -v411 not have to repeated for at least two years. Many -dollars' worth of -chemical insectides which would have been necessary for "gassing" were saved. SAVE THE CHILDREN Mothers who keep a box of Baby's Own Tablets in the house may feel that thelivesof their little ones are reasonably safe during the hot wea- ther. Stomach troubles, cholera in- fantum and diarrhoea carry off thou- sands of little ones every summer, in most cases because the mother does not have a safe medicine at hand to Igive promptly. Baby's Own Tablets relieve these troubles, or if given oc- casionally to the well child will pre- -vent their, coming on. The Tablets are guaranteed by government an- slyst to be absolutely harmless even to the newborn babe. They are es- pecially good in summer because they regulate the bowels and keep the stomach sweet and pure. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. 1 SEVEN YEARS -1921 Now I was back again in Canada. In July I was suddenly called to a railways journey of 150 miles to see a sick friend. On the road one thing ruffled me a little. The home I was .seeking was seven miles from the sta- tion, out in the country; how would I get out? But a verse recently memorized be- gan singing itself through my mind: Who points the -clouds their course, When winds and seas obey, He shall direct my wandering feet He shall prepare my way. and the burden quite rolled away. When I stepped on the platform, an automobile was standing quite close. _I addressed the gentleman at the "Can you tell me if there is any -way that I can be taken out to M. L.'s place?" "There is no way that I know but getting a taxi." -"I thought there might be some neighbor in town with whom 1 might get out," I replied. "So there is," he answered eagerly. saw Jacob V. in town with his 1;dar. Wait a minute and I will see if I, can find him." His machine was wheeled around in a twinkling, and he was off on his kind quest, while I moved on to the station. Before I had reached the -.door, a pleasant -faced man accosted me: "Are you the lady that wants to go to M. L.'s?" he asked. "Yes," I replied; "I understand that his mother is very ill." "Well," he said, "I'm just starting. I'll have you there in half an honr." As we were nearing the house, "Does M. know that you are coming," asked my friend the driver. "No," I answered, "I did not wait to send him word." "Then I'll have some fun with bim," and he did. The illness that had brought Me lad been serious indeed, but it was lifting, and the invalid was allowed to talk freely, so long as she lay quite still. But they had another trouble. Their -wheat WRR waving beautifully in the - Wind, "but," as the young farmer Rs - ".t will be nothing but me the community should at least be represented. But I waited and thought, and by noon the next. day I was able to say: We shall have our meeting by ourselves. There were four of us. After dinner we gather- ed in the invalid's room. We sang the hymn: Who points the clouds their course, When winds and seas obey, and then we read together part of the 8th and 9th chapters of Genesis. I explained the Rainbow • Covenant as our God-given covenant key, and we kneeled down together and used it. There was no sign of ram when we went to bed, but I was waked in the night by the soft pattering of the rain overhead. Several showers fell. not heavy, but very pleasant to hear. They were refreshing showers and helpful, but they did not go down to the roots. Mutt was only a taste. Monday and Tuesday passed with- out rain, but Wednesday, about noon, there, came an ample shower, lasting nearry an hour, and the young farm- er said: "I believe I will do now." But the next day, while on the jburney home, there came a succes- sion of showers that completed the work abundantly. The rainbow seen from the car window was wonderful to behold. And that ever -recurring rainbow is the God-given assurance that the Covenant it represents is still in full force. ANNIE ROSS. Shasbourg, Sask. "MARQUIS" GREATEST OF ALL SPRING WHEATS A warm tribute to Dr. Charles E. Saunders, the discover of Marquis wheat, is paid by L. H. Newman in his annual report as Dominion cer- ealist in which position he succeed- ed Dr. Saunders, 'who resigned a year ago on account of ill -health. The report says that the value of Marquis wheat, not only to Can- adian agriculture, but to that in the United States, ig almost beyond com- putation. Its worth has been so definitely proved that it now occu- pies by far the greater part of the Spring wheat growing lands of Can- ada. According to United States statisticians,_ furthermore, there were almost 12,000,000 acres devoted to Marquis wheat in that country in 1919. "And," the report continues, "while Marquis wheat has won for Dr. Saunders and for the cereal division a widespread recognition, yet a vast amount of material resulting from Dr. Saunders bands still remains for further investigation. It is not be- yond the realm of possibility that from this material there may yet emerge varieties which may mark as great an advance over Marquis as did the latter over Red Fife." won *misted do* to Leal sad Cell %%dims, ,finind a seat at West. ininstore and, when be died et the a. of seventy -mine lett , steady ' fre49LI:ilme story of easily -won wealth is told of Omens of John Gully's fellow -bookmakers, many of whom clhnbed ,the ladder of riches from its lowest rungs. Joe Bland was a postboy when he made his first modest book; Bickam was it stable- man;, Fred Swindell, was, it is said, potraan when he pocketed 4100 on Charles XII. in the Liverpool Cup— and flo on through the long list of raen o have found the laying of odtSall4 ch a profitablengermwe. te h At, - es was a carps en tile's Derby put 4100 into his purse. So rapid was his success that within a few years he had a balance of 4188,000 at his bank, and was winning or losing thousands of pounds on a race as light-heartedly as if the sov- ereigns were pence. He lost 4120,000 on two races and 'cleared 4200,000 on four others in the same year; while, in spite of the' fact that Teddington's Derby win cost him 4100,000, he ended the year with more than this sum to the good. Such giants as Gully and Davies have had their successors in more recent days in men like Mr. Dunn and Mr. Fry, the latter of whom died re- cently at Norwood. When Mr. Fry's attention was first drawn to the pos- sibilities of bookmaking, he was a draper at Liverpool. One day he was askee by a bookmaker who had got into difficulties for it loan, on the un- derstanding that he should receive a share in the profits of the book. These -came as regularly as clock- work, and so satisfied Mr. Fry that there was money in the business, that he put up his shutters and started on his own account with a capital of 4800, "which," he says, "I never had occasion to supplement." Beginning in a modest way at As- cot, success came so quickly that he was soon laying bets in thousands of pounds. to. nate ter din 000004 *ad on I at Quebec ors will be switched to es and ran alongside the liners.

The recent stampede was attended by 137,800 people and one of the prisee was a silver horse given by the Prince of Wales, who owns a ranch near Cal- gary. Montreal, Que.—Over 18,000 cattle' were exported during June, and of that number 10,478 were shirrd to the British market and 1,705 to the United States. The total to date for 1923 is 55,538 head, as compared with 19,867 last year. Of these amounts 80,029 and 4,185, respectively, went overseas and 28,659 and 12,795, re- spectively, to the United -States. Ottawa, Ont.—Only once in the his. - tory of Canada was the gold produc- tion record set in 1922 exceeded; and that was in 1900, when the Yukon placers reached the peak of their yield. During 1922, 1,263,364 ounces of gold were mined in the dominion. The value is set at $26,116,050, an in- crease of 86 per cent. over the previ- ous year's figures: In 1900, 1,350,- 057 ounces of gold were mined and the value was $27,908,153. Fort William, Ont.—Approximately $20,000,000 is being expended, and about 2,000 men are employed on work designed to increase or improve the facilities of. Fort William and Port Arthur in the trans -shipment of grain in time for the expected bumper crop this yeor. The storage capacity of the two ports will be increased nearly 10,000,000 bushels by new construc- tion and a proportionate increase in the handling capacity of the ports. Haileybury, Ont.—Close to seven hundred men are now employed on he constructioh work on the branch of the Canadian Pacific railway from Kipawa to Des Quinze and trains will , reach the new terminal some time in N.-vember. Ottawa, Ont.—The production of arsenic tn Canada in 1922 amounted to 2,576 tons, valued at $321,037,which was an increase of 73 per cent. in quantity, but only 37 per cent. irt value over the production of 1921. Approximately four-fifths of this was produced in the smelting of the silver- cohalt-nickel ores of Northern On - Halifax, N.S.—A discovery of ex- tario. cellent ochre (raw sienna) was re- cently made near Ellershouse station on the Dominion Atlantic railway. The color is uniform throughout, with very little gritty matter in the main body. The material can be burnt to produce a variety of colors from red- dish brown to black. Prospecting is still going on. Edmonton, Alta.—A demonstration of the practicibility of the tar sands from McMurray, north of Edmonton, for sidewalk and road purposes, is being made at the Edmonton exhibi- tion. A sidewalk has been laid on the exhibition grounds comprising crushed gravel and the tar sand just as it comes from the ground. It is hoped that such experiments as these will demonstrate the value of the Mc- Murray tar sands in road making. Montreal, Que.—Exports of wheat from Canada during June amounted to 22,228,898 bushels, compared with 11,760,477 bushels in June a year ago. Wheat flour exports also increased from 765,625 barrels to 904,619 bar- rels. During the ten months ended June wheat exports were 205.000,000 bushels, an increase of 86,000,000 bushels over the same period a year ago.

These lambs made average daily gains of .407 pounds for the next thirty days as compared with average daily gains of .240 pounds made by a lot of lambs of similar character which were left at pasture with their dams. The lambs on pasture idth dams were weaned on August 14th, and given the same treatment as the lambs weaned on July' 15th. In a thirty - One day period beginning August 14, the early weaned ewe lambs and wethers gained an average of .3'73 pounds per day its compared with average daily gains of .241 pounds made by the lambs weaned on Au- gust 14th. In all cases the early weaned lambs made the most satis- factory gains. Owing to the longer rest the dams of the early weaned lambs were in better shape for the fall breeding seriten. SAYS WIND biAY PROVIDE FUTURE ELECTRIC POWER "The exhaustion of our coal aid' oil fields is a matter of centuries only," writes J. B. S. Haldane, the ristin- guished British scientist, in his ar- ticle "If You were Alive in 2123" in the Auguat Century.

With the consent of the landlord, this 15 - year -old boy, Walter Flower, last year planted and cultivated one acre of corn on the plantation under the supervision of the agricultural ex - extension agent, paying all of his own expenses. He harvested 91 bushels, making a net profit of $53. Twelve tenants on this plantation, as well as a number of others in the com- munity, are following the extension agent's instructions this year in growing corn as a result of the de- monstration. SYMPTOMS OF ANAEMIA An Inherited May be Overcome. Tendency to Anaemia Some peoplethave a tendency to be- come thin -blooded just as others have an inherited tendency to rheumatism, or to nervous disorders. The condition in which the blood becomes so thin that the whole body suffers comes on so gradually and atealthily that any- one with a natural disposition in that direction should watch the symptoms carefully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the medical term is, can be cor- rected much more easily in the earlier stages than later. It begins with a tired feeling that_rest does not over- come, the complexion becomes pale, and breathlessness on slight exertion, such as going up stairs, is noticed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home remedy that has been most success- ful in the treatment of diseases caus- ed by thin blood. With pure air and wholesome food these blood making pills afford the correct treatment when the symptoms described are noticed. You can get these pills through any dealer in 'medicine or by mail, post- paid, at 50c a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. surea me, .chicken feed if the rain does not. come soon."

And no one knew bet- ter what he was talking about than the famous "penciller," who lived to make 447,000 over St. Giles's Derby, and to drive behind a pair of high- FEEDING OF LAMBS Sheep, more than any other class of farm animals, are benefitted by frequent changes of pasture. When kept on one pasture contiguously they graze certain portions very closely; but the parts grazed showed have a chance to recover. The same amount of pasture will give much better results when divided into two or more fields, and grazed alternate- ly. Quick, uninterrupted growth from birth to marketing is absolutely nec- essary for well finished profitable lambs. Breeding stock, whether ewes or ram lambs should be kept grow- ing. While the pastures are good and the ewes are milking well the lambs may thrive without any other food, although larger gains are possible when.grain is fed. Grain never gives such returns as when fed to young growing animals. In the latter part of July, however, the pastures lose their early palatability and the sieves begin to dry up. Unless there is abundant range at this time there is danger of the lambs being u4der- nourished. Green feed in the form of pastures or as a soiling crop, and grain will give good, returns if fed at this time. Owing to labor cost, pasturing is the only practical way to feed clover aftermath. Oats and peas, or rape, make excellent summer pasture. While rape is good feed, sheep should not be closely confined on rape alone but should have the run of a grass pasture. An ideal 'ar- rangement is to have the rape field, adjacent to some pasture, and lir-, range the gate so that the lambs can go from the rape to the pasture at will. If grain is fed before the lambs are weaned it should he fed in a lamb creep. This creep should be con- structed so that the lambs can enter, hut the mothers are prevented owing to the limited aize of the opening. Grain fed to the lambs will give bet- ter results than if fed to the entire flock. March and April lambs should he weaned and put on fresh autritive pasture early in August.

"Among its more obvious advant- ages will be the fact that energy will he as cheap in one part of the coun- try as another, so that industry will be greatly decentralized; and that no smoke or ash will be produced. CHILDREN SOURCE OF MANY ACCIDENTS In pointing out that approximately 28 per cent. of all persons killed by automobiles are children under 15 years of age, the National Safety Council maintains that motorists should drive 1,owly under the fol- lowing conditions: "Not only when children are play- ing in the street, but also when they are playing near the curb, or on the sidewalk. "When passing schools or play- grounds. "When approaching persons on bicycles, tricycles, roller skates, kiddie cars, etc. 'When approaching youngsters who are 'hitching a ride' on the vehicle ahead. "When passing ice wagons and street sprinklers." Many drivers are careful on con- gested business streets, but careless in residential and other districts Where children are numerous. In spite of the danger, many chil- dren make the street their play- ground, or in chasing each other or a ball they may suddenly dash into the street right in front of a moving vehicle. Drivers should assume that every child on or near the street is going to dash .suddenly in front of their cars. You cannot tell by looking at a child what it is piing to do. You should, therefore, drive slowly and have ,absolute control of your car. In many communities school chil- dren are being taught "Safety." Automobile drivers should co-oper- ate in thislgood work and take every precaution - ,to pre N ent accidenta to children. , If you expect ether persons to avoid injuring your children, you should take care nat to injure the children of others. Drivers should remember the fel- lowing: (a) Caution yam- own and other people's children aliout the dangers of the street. (h) Do not allow anyone to ricie on the running -board, rear tire, or bumper of your car. (c) Persons on liicycles, or roller skates, or in carts shoukl not be permitted to hitch on your car. stepping horses past the Doncaster clean ground it lessens the clanger of irm in which, as a young man, he had their becomiag infested with internal been employed as "boots."
