The - bishop's Statue. ipThere is an •jfbtold tale of a prince *ho was also aTbishop who decided to build a cathedral. He called for the help of all his people, and they gave .freely of time and strength and sub- stance for the great work. After many years It was finished, and the bishop was proud of himself. The cathedral was indeed a poen in stone. "Surely," he thought, "never has a more beauti- ful house than this been built to the glory of Gods" He remembered how he had dream- ed and planned and toiled. Ho came to think of the work as his, and in an empty niche over the central portal lie determined to have a statue of him- self as prince and bishop that men in the after time might remember him, One night Ile dreamed than an an- gel touched him and bade him follow. "Conte," said the angel, "I will show thee some who have helped to build the great church, and whose service has pleased God," The'bishop-was led out of the cathe- dral into a country lane, and there he saw two oxen yoked to a huge block of . stone, They were resting, for the work was hard, and they wore tired, Then a peasant girl from a wayside hut, carrylg a budle of hay in her arms, gave a wisp first to one and then to the other of the oxen. Comforted, they strained again at their load, The dream taught the bishop a les- son, In the morning Ile sent 'for the master sculptor and bade him make for the niche over the portal an image of a little child with a wisp of hay and then to make two oxen and set them high in the tower, The vainglorious bishop had gained a new appreciation of the contribution of others and a now humility regarding his own. It is a good story for us to keep in mind when wo are tempted to be vain- glorious over some achievement.

This is a stunt suitable. for a parlor entertainment of tricks, It requires a little preparation and it should be well practiced before It is presented. Two slates are shown. The trickster makes a chalk mark on both sides of each elate and then wipes the chalk mark out, using a wet sponge, This is to show the lack of chemical preparation. He places one slate on top of the other and asks a spectator to hold them until the conclusion of the trick. He then declares that a spirit bas a message Mr the company and will write the message on one of tho elates. Atter a reasonable time has elapsed, the trickster takes the elates and separates them. On the lower side of the upper slate the message, which may bo frivolous or serious according to the trickster's desires, is seen. The secret Is a simple one, A piece of black cardboard, just the color of tho slate surface and cut to tit exactly In the frame of a elate is used. The message is written on the slate and the cardboard, called the "flap" is placed over it. When the trickster displays the elates, he keeps the flap in place with itis fingers. After marking on the elates and wiping the marks off, he places the prepared slate, flap side uppermost, on the table, On this the other elate is placed. When he picks the slates up, he turns then over. The flap falls on the slate which is now undermost, leav- ing the writing ready for the con - elusion of the trick.

While 1t is not yet possible to ac- curately forecast radio reception core ditions, considerable progress has been made toward establishing the ro- lationship between weather conditions and radio reception, according to en- gineers mgineers of The Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of Canada, Limited, Generally speaking It has been found that when the weather is un- seasonable or when there is a sudden or decided change in the weather recep- tion conditions will be bad, according to these authorities. Cold weather In summer, wartp days in winter or a change from cold and crisp to motet and snowy weather will invariably bring about poor reception conditions, Fading, both of the slow and rapld variety, has been found to be almost as bad for radio reception as static, Fading Is almost inevitable when the weather changes, It is stated, Every effort le being made by radio engineers 111 all parts of the world to determine the relationship between radio reception and the weather so definitely that forcasts as to radio re- ception will be Its accurate as those now issued by the meteorlogical bur- eau about the weather.

Any re- training sewage le destroyed in the Soil by another kind of bacteria that live near the top of the ground. In range of soil types on which the wal- nut tree grow Is quite large, since this tree is to be found growing on sandy, gravelly and clay loams, and succeeding in proportion as these Boil types furnish depth for root room, plant food and moisture, Use Hardy Grafted or Budded Stock. To be successful the walnut tree must be a rigorous grower, of a var- iety that blossoms moderately late, a self-polllbator, and it must yield an abundant annual crop of desirable , nuts. These factors are bent obtained by planting hardy grafted or budded stock. The native black walnut has the hardy and vigorous characteris- ties, It is most desirable as a root system tor a soft shell English wal- nut. Get your start by growing seed- ling black walnuts up to a side suit- able to graft. Three-eighths of an inek in else does very well, then whip graft a''scion obtained from a hardy soft shell tree, making an entirely new top. The black walnuts for eeed- lingo can be planted in the' autumn or spring, If kept until spring lay away In cold, moist sand. Plant the seed with the pointed end wp, two inches deep In good garden soil. Keep the rail well raked and fre, from weeds. The little trees will be large enough for grafting at the end of the second season, or when growth 1s starting the following spring. The grafttgg of the walnut offers more difficulties than apple grafting, re- quiring greater care, The following eenditione are eesential to nuccens; fully dormant wood for scione, the cambium of stock and scion must be brought into exact contact, the work must be done as the leaf buds of the tree to be grafted on are unfolding, a condition that varies with indivi- dual trees. The elect In the stock or amputation and the shaping of the salon should be such as to give a perfect At. The exposed surface of tbes stock and scion must be held and protected_by tape and wax, the entire scion should be waxed over, the scion wood 'should be secured two or three weeks before required and kept in cold, moire sand. The scion wood should be Arta and hare a very small pith cavity, Both Needling and graft- ed trees usually bear at eight years.

(Contributed by Ontatte ueparttnunt of Agriculture, Toronto.) The ice crop every winter In Can- ada is an enormous ono, and It it could be marketed in the cities for summer use, the revenue would amount to many millions of dollare. Tho farmers must rely upon the ponds, rivers and lakes close by for their supplies, as it has not been found practicable to ship ice by rail. In some sections ice in not arnlluble, as there are fow if any bodies of water large and putty e110ugh to freeze water to sufficient thickness. Ftlrrnere could make their own ice, weati er permitting, by maLing a few ice moulds close to the well and grad- ually freezing then' full, or by stak- ing a solid block of ice in a metal lined chamber by pumping into it a little water every day or so anti allowing it to freeze gelid. Twenty cakes of ice, each 18 inches square and 12 inches thick, would make a ton of ice as stored. The Artificial Pond. Still another method for manu- facturing ice on the farm is to make an artificial pond where (hero is an abundant supply of water available from welt or spring and the pumping Is done by power or hydraulic ram. The area required to produce a ton of ice is not great, depending of course on the thickness of the ice. If the probable freezing will quake Ice 12 inches thicl, but thirty-five square feet of pond surface is re- quired tor each ton needed. The usual method of harvesting the supply of Ice for the ravine is to cut It from some nearby pond, streatu or lake and haul it home and store it in the ice house, ur some forte of enclosure whore it will cover deep with dry sawdust. The source of ice should be free front content- ination and clean of weeds and other vegetable matter. Harvesting the Crop. The method consists of the follow- ing operations, - (1) Cleaning off the snow, if any, by moans of a suitable form of scrap- er. The snow is either dragged off to the shore or pulled into windrows, depending on the size of the area. (2) Marking off , tl►o) lac . into squares or lar1.4 elf tee field, This operation should be done accurately in order to have blocks of equal size and cut straight and even to make handling and packing in the house as economical as possible. Success in this depends largely on getting the first lino straight, and this can be done by stretching a line between two stakes and placing a straight edge board 12 or 14 feet long along the line, and marking tho ice with hand tool or hand plough along the edge of the board, Tho board is moved along as the marking is done, piece by piece. After marking in one direc- tion is completed it is necessary to establish a line across the area which is at right angles to the first direc- tion. Probably the hest way to start this la by using a carpenter's largo square made of pieces of straight- edge boards. 10 or 12 feet long, and tied across the corner to hold them fast at angle of 90°. Once the first line Is marked straight and at right angles to the first line the rest can easily be marked off properly, Cutting the Ice, Tho ice is cut both ways by Dither a horse-drawn ice plough or a cir- cular saw driven by a gasoline en- gine, the 'whole mounted on a sled pushed along by hand. The latter method of cutting Is very satisfactory and is economical, when cutting is done on a large scale, as is the case • with a large ice dealer or group of farmers harvesting titelr ice co-oper- atively. The ice field is usually cut in ono dirootiou with the machine and to a point two er three inches of the full depth. The long strips one way are detached front the field by striking into the saw cut with a heavy chisel, and then pushed up to the loading platform and there cut up Into blocks by a hand saw or by the chisel in case the field has been cut both ways by the ice plough or power saw. When a small quantity of lee is harvested the cutting is done by saws. Loading and Packing the Ice. There are several devices used for loading the ice on the sleigh, wagon or motor truck, depending upon the amount of ice being handled. The main object In this case is to get a mechanical 'outfit that is cheap, con- venient to operate and which will save the handling of the ice by hand. A small hoist, or a horse -power driv- en elevator answers very well, ' It is advisable to store the ice on cold, dry days as it will be better for handling and will keep better after storage. The cakes should all be the sante size, and be evenly cut, in order that they may be packed together with as little air s- :tee as possible, ' Any spaces should be filled with small pieces of ice. The more compact the mass of ice the better it will keep, 1 Below the ice there should be a foot o1 dry sawdust or shavings, and as the filling proceeds the same material should be packed between the ice and the walls, Do not put sawdust about individual calces of ice, Pack the ice with a little dip toward the centre, so that it cannot press outwards against the walls, After the ice is stored there should be a couple of feat of sawdust pat over the top, 0, A, C. fu;leti:t 7(;J oh Cold Storage hi free for the asliftig.-- It.

C. Wada, Agent -General in London for Jlritiell Columbia, writing in the Nineteenth Century, quotes copiously from the works of two Toronto mon, the late Goidwin Smith, at the %rang., and W. Stewart Wallace, new chief librarian at the University. Botwcrn the years 1775. and 1787 some 60,000 Loyalists left the present United States. The official, profes- sional and wealthy merchant classes went largely back to Britain. Others migrated to the West Indies. Some oven sought shelter in Spanish Eloy. Ida. But the bulk, who were mostly in humble circumstances, found re- fuge in Canada. Not merely those who had fought against them, but men and women whose sole offence was 'loyalty to the Caton Jack, wero driven forth atter the Revolution and their property caafiscated, Had amnesty followed the conclusion of the war, says Mr. Wade in his article, a page of infamy would never have been written. Dur- ing the war the revolutionists on the whole, behaved with restraint and consideration. "The holocaust came after they had emerged victorious from the struggle, when magnani- mity toward the vanquished, besides costing nothing, would have crowned the etrugglo of the revolutionists with an aureole of light instead of incurring for it the anathema of man- kind." "Civil war as well as international war there will sometimes be, but It ought always to be followed by am- nesty," so wrote Goldwin Smith, the sage of the Grange in Toronto-- Goldwin Smith, the brilliant Oxford scholar whose affection for American institutions was such that he endow- ed Cornell University with his lib- . vary and the bulk of his considerable fortune, Amnesty, Cromwell de- clared on the morrow of Worcester. Amnesty followed the second Civil War in America (1861-66). The first civil war (the Revolution of 1776-88) was followed not by amnesty but by an outpouring of the spirit of Sven geance of the victors upon the fallen. Some royalists were put to death. Many others were despoiled of a1•1 they had and driOen from the edun- try: Several thousand loftNely York when It was evacuated by the British troops (1783), Those who remained underwent violent persecution. . At the evacuation of Charleston • a' British officer saw Loyalists whipped, tarred, dragged through horse ponds, and paraded about the town with "Tory", written on their breasts. Twenty-four .men were hanged on the docks in, full sight of the British fleet, with the army and refugees aboard. Here and there, admits aoldwiti smith, there ,may have been Loyal- ists ` whos deeds deserved punish- ment, but that gave no excuse for the barbarity displayed. Not satisfied with persecution, the victorious colonists then drove the Loyalists into exile, Eight of the states formally banished prominent Tories by name. Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Vir- ginia took the salvo course indirectly. If laws were not passed business 'and soleal ostracism were employed with the same view in end.

But as Wallace says in. his "United Empire Loyalists," "success had not taught the rebels the grace of forgiveness."

The American commissioners wero hypo- . critical and the British commissioners spineless. Then Britain did the right thing. She prepared camps for. the refugees in Canada and the Maritimes.

Adelatdu HOW CANADA COMPARES WITII OTHER COUNTRIES IN WHEAT PRODUCTION. As the value of the wheat crop on the prairie is normally about fifty per cent. of the total value of the entire annual agricultural production of the prairie provinces, it is interesting to learn how the yields of this important crop in Canada compare with those in other countries.

Tho largest increase was in wheat, which aggregated 2,996,419 tons, or 99,980,600 bushels. This was nearly 06,000,000 bushels ahead of 1923, Can- adian wheat increasing by 24,406,400 bushels, and United States wheat in- creasing by 11,472,420 bushels. Barley Was lighter by 87,024 tons, while the other grains showed slight increases. A new high record was also estub- lished on the St. Lawrence canals in 1924, the total traffic being 5,586,374 tons, exceeding the previous high re- cord in 1923 by nearly 1,000,000 tons, ' or 22 per cent.
