the outgrowth of a drowsy mind. It is
inconstant and unsubstantial, for its

Love is the anthithesis of reason;

Now are we peculiar because we do

Farmers of the United States need-
leesly threw away 8,896,000 bushels of
winter wheat this year ,not to men-
tion UM enormous loss in other farm
products, simply because they failed
to prepare against drought by taking
steps to keep moisture in the soil.
This is the declaration of Secretary
John T. Burns, of the International
Dry -Farming Congress, who is now
preparing to conduct the Sixth Con-
gress, which meets in Colorado ,Springs
next October.
Mr. Buras had just read the report
of the United Stetes Department cf
.Agriculture for Auguet, showing that
lose under the 1911 crop. Before him
lay a sheaf of wheat raised by J. M.
Bradshaw, of Peyton, Colo. who has
just threshed an average of '20 bushels
an acre from 1Q0 acres, patehes in
which ran as high as 57 bushels. On
- the Bradshaw laud only four inches of
moisture fell from the time this wheat
was planted, September 2, to the tiny
it was cut, July 15, and there is i.ot
a live stream within 25 miles. This
land Wits simmer tilled, that is CUE -
fully cultivated, end the weeds kept
down the summer before it was plant-
ed. This is one of the tenate of
scientific dry -farming as taught by the
Congress. It is applicable to evety
part of the land, says Mr. Burns. The
average of all wheat in the United.
Stetes, according to the Government,
is only 14.5 bushels, and the guality is
92, as against 92.6 la,st year. So
there it nothing wrong with the 1911
wheat but, lack of moieture.
"Every farmer in the land could
have done as Mr. Bradshaw did with
his little four inches of rainfall, had
he been intelligent 'enough Ito study
dry4orming methods and willing to
do the necessary work," declares•Mr.
Burns. "Some day they will prepare
to meet droath RS they do all other
adverse phenomena of nature, and
overcome it. too."

WHY IS PAINT NOT USED ON OUR,
BARNS.
(S. J. Oxford Co., Ont.)
Nature lute done much for our fair
province of Ontario. Down here in Ox-
ford county, the slightly rolling land
and the beautiful maples that are found
everywhere in abundance give the coun-
try a park•like appearance that is th,e
delight of vieitors and to my mind,
quite as beautiful ito the eye as the
more rugged section of Northern Oa-
tario of which we hear so much.
But what have the people of Ox-
ford done to increase the attractiveness
of the landscape? And from my ob-
servations I should judge that what
I shall say regarding Oxferd applies to
the greater part of Ontario. We find
splendid farm homes surroended by
well -kept lawns and splendid trees. The
outbuildings, however, are a blot on the
landscape, In comparison with the build.
Inge to the back, (ionic of our splendid
stone residences look little else than rid-
ieuleus. Most, of the outbuildings have
never been guilty of paint, even on the
door caoings, a -d in winter particularly
they present a most forlorn appearance.
A few years ago I took a trip into
Eastern Canada with some cattle. While
I know that conaparisons are odious,
they also may be helpful, so I just wish
that 301110 of my neighboes wOuld take
a trip down through those Eastern pro-
ninces and note the neat appearance of
the buildings of the Maritime farm.
1Vhitewash used there in abundance.
I have been told that in some seetions
the farmer tvho veill not white -wash hie
boildiegs is considered a disgrate to the
neighborhood. Some Ontario men to
whom liave mentioned white -wash
have sinned in a very superior manner,
but aia they know what a neat appear-
ance some of those Maritime ferm-
steeds make they would be apt to follotv
their example end go end do likewise.
The West I find is A land of paint.
While going through some of the sec-
tions in Manitoba, one of the first,
things to cateli my eyes was the splere
did appearance made by the farm build.
Inge their eoats of red paint with
evliite trimmings. The Maritime Pro-
vinees are the oldest seetion of Cuticle.
The Weet is the rietvest section. Ontario
is in between. hope that in the matter
of painting farin buildinge Ontario will
either retrogtess to the standard of the
old provinces in this regard or progrese
to the statdard of the new. Either will

THE CARDINAL'S HAT.
Those who have seen the cardinal's hat
know why its possess& is glad that he
has to wear it so seldom. Made of red
felt, it is of enormous proeortions, with
a. erown about four inches high, and flat
on top. Around the crown there is a
cord of three strands, which separate at
the ends, fall on either side of the face,
each strand ending in an elaborate tea-
sel, and the whole suggesting the oord
end tassel with which the heavy window
curtains of an older day were looped
back. The biretta, conferred immetli-
ately on new cardinals, resembles that
worn by a priest, except as to color,
being red instead of black. Once in-
vested with the biretta, the cardinal is
entitled to wear the zuchetta—that is,
the little red skull cap which (lovers the
tonsure and which is familiar to all. The
street hat worn by cardinals in Theme
and in Catholie countries generally is
wide and flat brimmed, with alow, round
trown, different from that worn by
„many priests in the same places °lily in
color. This has often been confused with
the cardinal's hat, but is quite different.

The modern thimble dates from 1684,
when the goldsmith Nicholas Bensehoten,
of Amsterdam, sent one 45 a birthday
present to a lady friend with the dedica-
tiont "To Myfrouw van Renselaer this
little object, which I have invented and
executed as a protective covering for
her indostrious fingers."
The invention proved such a sueeess

At first thimbles were rather costly
and only well-to-do people could afford
them, but aftertvard when male of lead
and other common metale by machinery
they became very cheap. Their use was
a great relief to all who had much sew-
ing to do, and blessings were invoked on
the inventor.
The Dutch fingerhat (fingerhood) be-
came in England the "thimble bell," from
its belllike shape. It was originally worn
on the thumb, says the Ave Maria, to
parry the thrust of the needle pointing
through the stuff, and not, as at present,
to impel it.
All the world over the thimble is a
symbol of industry. The gift of one to
a little girl is taken as a hint that she
should learn to sew or that some article

AXIMOAN GAME LAWO.
They Go Back to 1709, When Peer
Wore Protected in South Carolina,
Came legislation in this country bus
hod an interestiog hietory. Deer were
the first game animist to be protected.
As early as 1769 law Wee petaled in
in $auth Carolizia forbidaing their dee-
tructien during the montlas from. Jan-
uary to July, while Yermout prescribed
the same clotted Lennon), for deer in 1707.
Meesaohusette iu 1817 protected deer
during. a similar season, followed by
Virginia in 1820, Little other legleation
etteept in New Jensey 1840, is found,
until after 1860, when Miseouri, Ohio,
Alabaamt and California preecribed dos-
ed seasons, and Delaware in 1852 prohib-
ited the killing of deer at any thne.
In the '00s came Kenteniky, with pro.
teetion for femalee only, and later In
linoise Kansas, Pennsylvania, Nebraska
and Minneeota follewed, last State in -
eluding elk in' its protective measure,
Less stringent were theee early laws,
says Ca,se and Comment, for in num,
°roue instances the prohibition, was not
extended to game found on one's own
land, This is to be noted hi 1817 in a
Massaehusetts enactment, end later in
New Jersey, Delaware, Maine, Iowe,
Ohio and as late as 1861 in Kentucky.
The earlieet 'instance Witch has been
found hi the United Statee of an enact-
ment to proteot fur bearing anionele is
that preseribing a closed season for the
muskrat, in Vermont in 1812, It was a
prohibition which covered practically
the entire year, it being lawful to take
the muskrat from March 15 to May 25.
Ohio protected the muskrat in 1830,
and New Hampshire in 1843, prompted
evidently by a desire to be rid of cer-
tain undesirable animals, passed a law
providing for thehudestreution of noxi-
ous aniinals and the preservation of
game," the game referred to being the
muskrat, beaver, mink and otter.
In some States there eame at the
same time with protective legislation
fog deer recognition of a similar
need in the ease of partridge quail,
grouse and woodcock, and in those
States tvliere they were found wild tur•
key were early included ha enactments
providing for a closed season,
Thus in Maseaclineetts these birds,
with the exception of the wild turkey,
were included in the statute of 1817. In
meet (ewes, however, legislation to seve
the game birds was much later and very
few of the States had swab until after
1850. •
The lowest penalty for killing deer
°Mears to have been that named in a
North Caroline. statute passed in 1854,
which provided: "If any person shall
kill or destroy any deer running wild
in the woods ,or unfenced grounds, un-
less on his own lands, by gun or other-
wise, between the 20th day of Febru-
ary and the 15th day of August next
suoceeding, he shall forfeit and pay for
every offence $4 to any person who will
sue for the same."
'The penalty for killing deer in Ohio
in 1857 was hut $5, an inerease of $10
not coming until 1879. Higher amounts
for deer seem to have been the rule,
and even 46 earin as 1853 Maine pres-
cribed $20 and $40 for killing moose.
Fifty dollars fort'deer was the amount
in Pennsylvania in 1869, and in North
Carolina in 1871. Fer the destruction of
game birds such as the grouse, part-
ridge, prairie chicken, quail and wood-
cock, the amount has been as low ns
$1 in Connecticut hi 1843, and as high

During the seventiee 8,nd eighties a
number of States incorporated into
their statutes sections forbidding the
use of any gun other than such as ift
commonly raised from the shoulder and
fired at arm's length, such legislation
having lectern° neeessary because of the
use by pot huntent and even so-callen
sportsmen of the ewivel gun in shoot-

What has becit known as night hunt-
ing, especially with fire or artificial
light, has been the subject of prohibis
tive legislation since an early date,
South Carolina haviag forbidden taking
deer by that meiti4 in 1769 and Ten-
neesee in 1774. Such acts had for their
end, however, the protection. of domes-
tic animals whose destruction was a
common accompaniment of this Means
of pursuing the deer. Later statutes
of this character clearly had in view
the saving of the game which this me-
tbod of hunting rendered wholly at
the hunter's mercy.
In later years the Stites have com-
monly resorted to the plan of protect-
ing certain game. during long periods,
such protection being State wide or res-
tricted to certain counties and other
geographical districts. An att. of the lat-
ter sort was passed in Connecticut in
1875.
Idaho in 1883 passed a ISM wliieh pre-
seribed a four year period during which
quail Or partridge could not be killed
or their eggs taken, with a minimum
penalty of $50 for a violation, Delaware
in 1885 protected partridges, quail and
pheasants for nine yeare and jack rab-
bits for four years,
A ten- year period for elk was pro-
vided for by Michigan in 1879, with a
$50 fine for violations. Pheasants and
their eggs, especially the imported var.

of late years by nieans of such legisla-
tion.

.CU RE. FOR SNOR I NG,
Invention That Will Silence the Worst
Offender.
•
The person who snores, proclaimed for
ages past a wrecker of homes and a die-
turber of nocturnel peace, will shortly
become a horror of the past. The Rev.
Alfred Barrett, the viear of Claygate,
has found a cure for snoring, of which
his parishioners are justly proud.
The only defect in the vicar's discov-
ery is that the cure cannot be dropped
secretly into the alleged snorer's tea;
one has to obtain the consent of the
snorer to wear a little instrument in
his nose.
For the vicar's invention is in the
form of nose clip, or rather two nose
clips, one for each nostril. He showed
this to an Express representative last
night. In appearance it gives the im-
pression of two tie clips joined by a
snring.
"When they are fitted to the nose,"
explained the vicar, "the spring is ex-
tended and the nostrils expanded and
fixed in position, lf anyone who snores
should wear this Instrument, it would
be absolutely impossible for him, while
sleeping, to emit a nasal sound of any
sort.
"I have tried it on the inest con-
firmed snorer, who could be heard under
ordinary conditiops ell over the house,
and it was it complete success. I am
going to have the clips fitted with In-
dia, rubber, so that they will be quite
comfortable in the nose."
It might be put forward, as an objec-
tion, that the nose -clip would alter the
shepe of the nose and the appearance of
the wearer. This the vicar denies.
"It gives tbe nostril," he said, "the
true illiptrical form, which is one of the
signs of true beauty.'
The scientific explanation of the cause
of snoring is vibration in the nose. The
vicar's invention allows the air free
passage, thes doing away with the vi-
bration.
CLERICAL HUMOR.
(From the Quiveny
A 16cal pracner who occasionally got
s his metaphors mixed was preaching on
eelftrifghteousness and ended his dis-
course by saying: "Let us emember
that after all our righteousness is but fil-
thy rags hanging on the branchee of bar-
ren fi gtrces," On anothe rocca.sion
was preaching en besetting sins, and when
comparing these to obstacles in our path
exclaimed: "Let us beware of these
stonee by the wayside, lest they turn
again and reed us."
The at one time well-known preacher
among the Wcsleyans, Peter Mackenzie,
in reading the third chapter of Daniel in -
Variably abbreviated tlae fifth verse
wherein are enumerated the instruments
of the Babylonian band, most of them
with hard names, to the "cornet," etc.,
and when the names were reepated in
verses ten and fifteen, said, The band as
before." He was a lay preacher in the
old order, who was admitted on to full
plan without having read the prescribed
"Wesley's Sermons," ete. He boasted of
his lack of "book learning," and scorn•
filly told a student of the new school
who was learning Latin that "Englisa
was good. enough for Paul; ain't it good
enough for you."

People, are never open at night. During
the month when the Persians fast all

night. Then the food bazaars, tea shops
and so forth are open; pedestrians with
huge lanterns of oiled paper and people
in carriages give an appearance of life
and gayety to the streets which is puite
unknown et other times.

TH E QUESTION OF FRU IT.
Dr. Axil Emil Gibson in the "Dietetic
Hygienic Gazette" discusses the value
of ruit as food. There are, he says, two
questions to be considered in relation to
fruit as an element of diet—the biologic
and the physiologic, the racial and the
typical, the predispositions arising from
native traits and environments, and the
intolerance to certain foodstuffs due to
ties. Fruit does not combine well with .
other foodstuffs; such a diet invites gas-
tric and. intestinal troubles. Fruit, in or -
dei to be thoroughly enjoyed and do the
most good, must be eaten alone. Even
then fruit must be administered with
care. As to the choice of ruit, if the
digestion be weak, the apple, the pear,
grape or prange, corresponding to condi-
Cons and seasons of the year, are the
safest and most readily tolerated of all
fruits. Dr. Gibson ehinks that as meat
was necessary for the attainment by
force of arms of material success, so ia
fruit essential to the conquests of a sub
sequent humanity on a moral scale.
