REYHOUND FAST AS PIGEON English Dog Can Cover Ground at the Rate of From 18 to 23 Yards Every Second. - Comparatively Sew people realize of what remarkable speed dogs are capa- ble, observes n :writer in the Spring- field'- (Mass,) Bepubllcan. The Walt can run between 50 and. 60 miles in one night, and the Arctic fox can 'de quite as well, if not better, Eskimo and Siberian dogs can trays el 45 utiles ou the lee In five hours, and there is one ease on record in' twhich a team of Eskimo dogs traveled six and one-half miles in 28'minutes. English setters and pointers hunt at the rate of 18 to 10 miles an beer, and they can maintain the speed' for at least two hours. Foxhounds are extra- ordinarily swift, as is proved by the fact that •n dog of this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in els nett one-half minutes. Greyhounds are the swiftest of an four -footed creatures, -and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons. .English greyhounds which are carefully selected and which are used for coursing are able to cover at full gallop n space between 18 and 23 yards every second. It is said that A hare nt its greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of 18 yards a second. These in- teresting statistics fully prove the right of the greyhounds to rank as the swift- est of the quadrupeds. A Bitter Reflection. "Do you subscribe to the theory that at is better to have loved and lost trap never to have loved at all?" asked •he sentimental person. "That depends on the circum. stances," replied the cynical baehelor.

In Eastern countries red hair end warts are in the same category; but coming west as far as Constantinople, where red hair. is very uncommon, we find it just as greatly admired, and henna used to make it red if it isn't, says a traveler. In England, "TItien red," as it is sailed, 1,s greatly admired now, and any woman novelist who wants to be among the "biggest sell- ers" must give her heroine Titian red hair. Yet in Africa a crop• of the blackest, eurllest, closest hair imaginable makes a girl the belie of the kraal, especially if she be plump, with piggy eyes, thick Ups, a nose like an India -rubber shoe end a 'skin that shines like a cookipg stove. 3 1 Find Prehistoric Weepo'ds.

SUGGESTIONS FOR FARM1 R Spraying Material Should Be Ordered Early This Year—Rcep the Farxn- ing Mill Going--Worur In the Dairy, Stable and in the Orchard. (Co atrihuted by faatnriu Dvtirrturont (,f Agricuitur., 'rurantu.) OW A PROFIT of $58.29 was made from twenty-six hes which turned the table scraps, and $20.13 worth of feed into $84,42 worth of eggs is de- g scribed in a recent circular of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The birds were not selected with a view to the greatest produetio'a.pos- sible, but rather to the securing of such a flock as any amateur rnigbt go out and purchase. The flock con- sisted of twenty-six birds—four of which. were three -year' -old Black Leg- horn hens, six White Leghorn pullets 'and one Black Minorca pullet hatched in May, and the balance were cross- breds Black and White Leghorns, batched in June.. They were not put into winter quarters until well on in November, and it was December -7th -before the first egg was laid. Hove 'the Flock Was inept. An old wood shed about eleven by twelve feet was utilized as a poultry house. In the south side, fifteen inches from the floor a line of win- dows two feet wide was placed and above these an, opening about eigh- teen inches wide was made across the entire front. In this a frame, covered with light,cotton, was hinged, This frame was kept hooked up to the ceil- ing through g ttg the day,.except in the severest weather, Hoppers of oyster shell, beef scraps and dry mash were kept constantly before the flock. The dry mash con- sisted of bran, middlings and corn- meal, equal parts, one-half part glu- ten and one-half part blond .hour. A deep straw litter was kept on the floor into which. all whole grain feed was scattered. In the morning, mixed grain, us- ually cracked corn, wheat and oats, equal parts, was given. At the same time warmed water was given, - At noon the water was renewed and all . the kitchen waste, such as vegetable Winn, was -fed. 'Usually at this time • a few handfuls of mixed grain were also scattered. • The methods followed were such as almost any city dweller could follow. A very small place for a house and no yard room are required. BY buy- ing pullets in the fall and selling there when poultry is blah in, the early summer alio most will be had out of the flock without interfering in any way with either your own or your neighbor's back -yard garden. with Signed on behalf ot your many friends.' Mr. Stewart was presented with gold headed umbrella and Mrs. Stewart with a beautiful set ot dishes. The presentation was made by Mrs. Rolph and Mrs. R. Musgrove. suitable replies were given by Mr, and Mrs. Stewart. After this lunch was served then•atter many hand shakes the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of "God be with you till we meet again," Mrs. Stewart and family left for their new hams at Sheilbrook on Saturday and John on Tuesday with • his car of horses and furniture, REPAIRS FOR .

Seed grain and root seeds secured from the best sources available and in ample quantities for spring seeding are a most profitable investment at this time of the year. It is not too late to germinate seeds of various kinds of farm crops to determine their suitability for spring seed. A poor seed sown is a seed wasted— and food is too scares to waste any of it this year. Plenty of exereis5 for the breeding animals will insure stronger and more profitable young. When the work is not too pressing, get the fanning trill busy to ensure a good supply of sound, plump seed grain free from weed seeds. Tho oftener the seed is put through the fanning mils the larger and plumper the grain will be, and the fewer the weed seeds in it. Always avoid Sow- ing sunken grata and weed seeds-'-" they are about the poorest invest- ment a man can make, Secure an amply supply of spray- ing material now. Bluestone will be required for Spraying potatoes, iron sulphate for spraying mustard, lime sulphur for the fruit trees and naris green or arsenate of lead for potato bbetlee and other insect posts, Be sure to eeoure the supply of formalin for treating seed grain to prevent -mutt and for treating potatoes to prevent scab. One pint of Formalin is sufficient to 'treat from 20 to 30 bushels of grain and the same amount will treat from 40' to 45 bushels 'ef potatoes, Keep the P'ormalin bottle well corked and do not leave it in a place where it Is likely to he frozen. Securing farm labor will be tho great problem in agriculture this year. Write to the Ontario Goverua Merit Public Employment Bureau, 15 Queen's Park, and also consult your agricultural representative. Put in your order early with these men and you may get the help you require— and t cost without , The ideal temperature in the dairy stable, combined with good air, is between 50 and GO degrees Fahren- heit. it is a good plan to have a reli- able thermometer hanging at some central point in the stable and note the variation in the tempers ture front day to day. On lino days turn all the cattle outside for an hour in the sunshine. It may mean a Iittle less milk, but It will be paid for in the improvement of the health of the young stock. The trees in the apple' orchard may be scraped down now. so as to make more effective the later spraying of the trunk au'l the main branches. Egg masses of the Tueeock moth, cbnsptcueusly white against the dant bark, may be Tddrnoved by means of a Wire brush or hook on a pole.
