Big game hunting in British Columbia is described in several well written and illustrated articles; "A Labrador emu" is descriptive of a Labrador ii_hingvilluge; "sly visit to an Alberta Trapper," details a suceessful day on the trap line; "How to Keep Game from Spoiling" contains some valuable information for the hunter of big and small game; "When Riley Tied llaa:- Ian" is by way of variety and is ret- niiniscent of the famous Barrie Regatta when all the world's big sculiers had a tryout for ' the Championship. The regular• departments are well main- tained. "Cement" and "Concrete." Portland cement, says a writer in World's Work, is a manufactured pro- duct obtained from lime rock and clay, o, similar aluminous raw materials. Its preparation involves drying, burn- ing and grinding in order that, when finished, it shall be in the form of a light -gray powder or flour. This pow- der is of such exceeding firmness that the grains thereof may be made to pass through a sieve containing forty thous- and holes to the square inch of surface. Modeled into any desirable form, cement shows a high crushing resis- tance, together with a high tensile strength. It will sustain almost any load without injury to itself. showing i•o cracks or other elements of decay that attack other materials. "roncreit",implies the use of cement i•• conjunction with sand and crushed trash:, and in such proportions as will thmelep the highest value of the een;ent ler praetieal purposes, at the came titne bringing it within the range of buyers who do not wish to employ Portland cement. "Reinforced concrete" means the use r�A eonaote in conjunction with steel so ,laced as to contribute the tensional value of the steel to the total mass. Columns thus constructed will sustain almost any concentratedburden and are i.r•dug e.t:ter.sively used in engineering. The difference between the tallest and slyorte3t races in the world is oto font eight and one-eighth inches. and the average height of the world's te•ople is : ve feet five and one-half inches.

BoWSFIELD mor:4.0a!!44!4444!!!!e!!!!!o ECAI,LINtI the costly experience of last season, farmers and gar- deners are prepar- ing to matte war on the cutworm and other pests of the kind. Caterpillars, its their vari- ous forms, were nitasually destructive last summer in all parts of the coun- trv. They seemed to be getting the start of laud owners in corn and cot- ton fields as well as in orchards and gardens. The dieulty in fighting the cutworm lies chiefly in the fact that it operates extensirety iu fields and hides iu the ground. Its operations cover such a wide territory and its migrations are so rapid that ordinary spraying proc- esses are not etlective. This caterpil- lar is identical with the army worm and probably the saute as the cotton worm. In habits and formation it is identical. though rather larger in southern localities than in the northern lake region. When a fernier knows in the spring that there are cutworms or army worms in his tleids be should adopt vigoreus measures. The extra work involved is cheaper than replanting his crops. .t second plowing of the laud. is helpful, the last to be as near seeding time as passible. &II methods of stirring the still as summer warmth comes on are beneficial. The plow tears up the nesting places. throws the insects out where birds may get at thein and Greatest a general dis- turbanre. This extra tillage is good for the Land and will go a long way toward exterminating the pests. In connection with the work of plowing and culti- vating it will pay to use a preparation made on the bask of one pound of Paris green, thirty pounds of bran and two quarts of molasses. Moisten the bran with water before mixing. This may be manufactured in Iarger Tots If needed. It is to be spread thinly about the field. If placed around a garden. orchard or field it way serve to exclude all caterpillars. Kerosene emulsion is also recommended. Where any crop has been damaged by the caterpillar pest it is a good policy to sow alsike. This Is a profit- able product, almost equal to cotton or corn, when cost is considered, and it is of gr at v.1tc tothe soil. Another good pints is to sow part of the affected ground to rape and allow a drove of hogs to forage on it. A rotation of crops, with an occasional application of tbe preparation describ- ed. will rid a firm of cutworms and similar creeping pests. The cankerworm is best known a a pest of apple aid cherry orchards, but it is even more destructive to elms. Moderncru methods require t + frequentut spraying with arsenical poieims as a protectiou of fruit against the codling moth, and this has the incidental ef- fect of killing canker worms. The San Jose scale can be destroyed by the use of one of the lime and sul- phur mixtures, s•bieh may be i.nrchas- ed ready made or brought into solution by bailing the raw materials together as follows: Fifteen pounds of lime. fif- teen panels of sulphur and fifty gal- lons of .soft water. For fifty gallons of the spray heat twelve gallons of wa- ter in a four gallon iron kettle, mixing in a separate vessel fifteen pounds of sulphur with ennngtt water to form a thin paste. Add this sulphur to the water in the kettle and bring the mix- ture to a temperature just below bofl- int, Then adil fifteen pounds of best lump lime. keeping cold water at band to use as the mixture threatens to boil over.

Nothing rrueh that is worth white goes on that isn't benefitted by newspaper advertis- ing. Merchants use it because they have demonstrated more than any ether class of advertisers that it pays. Also it is a part of the merchant's service to his patrons to keep them informed of his doings and his wares The news- paper is indeed a veritable index of all that is poing on in this community in the way of business and professional activity. The fields is so completely covorted that the advertising news is as important as the regular news. Some Fire Don'ts. Have the chimneys burned out and cleaned at least once a year, and be- fore the fall season sets in. Smokers who carelessly leave match- es lying around, are a menace to the home. All sorts of rubbish commonly kept in an attic, is just as commonly the cause of a burned home. Don't keep old clothes in 'trunks and closets. Better throw them away than have a fire start in them. Be always on the lookcut for defec- tive flues. This has been the cause of 50 per cent. of the fires in the south. Be particularly careful about clean- ing grease out of a gas oven. Many women have been burned to death through a lack of caution. Clean out the cellars. Rubbish in them is just as dangerous as in attics, and should never be allowed to accumu- late in either place. 1 Do not suffer another day swit Itching Bleed- ing, or ?rotted. itig Piles.

How to Raise Potatoes For Big Profits. The :tial in raising potatoes should he to plant so as to get the biggest yield and at the stone time with the least expense. One of the farmers iu Som- etset eouuty, Me., who have been able to do this most successfully Is F. E. Davis. He has received as big a yield as 800 bushels per acre in some in- stances and on the whole 300 to 500 bushels per acre. IIe tells his story bow he did it, which many fanners would do well to follow. IIe writes In the Atm:Henit Cultivator as follows: The soil must be in the best pos- sible condition as reglad filth and fer- tility. The dirt should be made One and mellow and the soil of good depth before planting the seed. Ie the piece is of clover sod then the time for plow- ing does not count so much, yet in this case an application of a small coat of manure is good and enables us to re- duce the expense of commercial ferti- lizer at least one-half and to further increase the yield of from fifty to a hundred bushels per acre, yet care should be taken not to put on too much manure. Piowing and planting are oily a small part of the work of raising po- tatoes. They require considerable care. If in a dry season they should be cultivated often, the loose dirt hav- ing a tendency to moisten the plants. If you wish to raise the largest pos- sible crop, 500 bushels or more per BOW PROPER FERTILIZATION INCREASES SIZE OIF POTATOES. acre, you must get as many perfect hills to reach full maturity as possible. I advise rows two and one -ball feet apart and seed pieces to be dropped twelve to fifteen inches apart in the drill, using a good sized seed cut one to three eyes. In raising 300 bushels per acre make the rows three feet apart. Place the seed pieces eighteen to twenty inebes apart and dou't take quite so much pains in cutting seed, One ton of the best commercial fertilizer is not usually too much per acre. I lind it good method tsow for i2 r e od o the tt e with the planter before dropping the seed. Then it is mixed with the soil. After the plant is up a little fertilizer can be used on it, but ft should be brushed from the plant with a broom or in some similar manner. I have in my own work by follow- ing the best methods here described been able to secure yields of 500 bush- els and over per acre on commercial fertilizer alone. That of the bests grade, about 4 per cent nitrogen and 10 per cent potash. I remember on one piece my men called attention to the fact that they were getting a bush- el of potatoes to market in six paces of a single row. If my Ogures were cor- rect this would be over 800 bushels per acre in ordinary field culture, but this piece had the advantage of a coat of barn manure the fall previous to planting. ••••••••••••••••••0011••••• • • FEED YOUR LAND WELL. • • • You must feed your stock well • • If you want good results.

I was treated by a well-known physician, who could acct help me, and my doctor decided on an operation as the only means of relief. However, I resolved to try Dr. Chase's Ointment first. The first box brought me great relief, and by the time I had used three boxes I was completely cured.
