The effect of mouse injury in
girdling, is to destroy or restrict the
downward circulation of elaborated
foodstuffs to the roots. The problem
is therefore to re-establish the bark
connection immediately, either by
means of bridge grafting or March-

out doubt the most important factor
in determining success or failure.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE
WESTERN FAIR
Since the last Exhibition the West-
ern Fair Association has pill: forth
every effort to improve .conditions in
all departments for the 10202 Exhibi-
tion, which gives promise of surpass-
ing all previous successes,
Many improvements have been
made by altering the layout o£ the
grounds and removing a number of
buildings, thus providing excellent
accomodation for all outside exhibits
and amusements. The buildings have
Wee been greatly improved, especial-
ly for Live Stock accomodation.
A number of . new buildings have
been provided with the most excel- '
lent and modern stabling to be found
in the country. The comfort of ox-
hibitors has also been taken care of
by providing excellent sleeping quar-
ters adjoining, but entirely separato I
from the Liye Stock buildings,
Other important alterations and
iinnrovements have been made which
will add greatly to the comfort and
convenience of the large crowds at-
tending throughout the week.
Monday, Sept. 14th, wilt be Child- ;
ron's Day, when children under 12
years of age from all parts of Ontario
will be admitted' free.
People from the rural eommunittes
and towns and cities will find it to
their advantage to attend 'on Child-.
rents Day with their families • All'
exhibits will be at their best, and the
Exhibition Board, as well as the ex-
hibitors in all departments, are mak-
ing a special effort to provide every-
thing that can be desired for the in-
struction and amusement of the chPd-
ren.
General admission to the Exhibi-
tion will be 25c. Strip tickets of five
admissions for $1.00 are also on sale
and may be secured up to Sept. 9th.
With the special railway rates and
special admission rates prevailing,
the Exhibition authorities are making
arrangements to handle capacity
crowds each day.

GOING TO CHURCH
Some go to church, just for a walk,.
Some go to stare, and some to talk,.
Some go there to meet a friend,
Some their idle time to spend.
Some for general observation;
Some for private speculation;
Some to seek to find a lover,
Some a courtship to discover;
Some go there to use their eyes,
Some the fashions criticize;
Some to show their own smart dress
Some their neighbors to assess;
Some to scan a robe or bonnet,
Some to price the trimmings on it.
Some to learn the latest news,
Some to sit and think and muse;
Some to gossip false and true,
Some to see who's' in the pew;
Some the preacher go to fawn,
Some to lounge and some to yawn;
Some because it's thought genteel,
Sonie to vaunt their pious zeal;
Some to show how sweet they sing,
Some how loud their voices ring;
Some the preacher go to hear
Some to praise and some to jeer;
Some forgiveness to implore,
Some their sins to varnish o'er;
Some to sit and doze and nod,
But few to kneel and worship God.

OCEAN FREIGHT RATES
Apart from the statement by W.
T. R. Preston that the King govern-
ment will not abandon the fight for
lower freight rates on the Atlantic,
we have it on the authority of a
prominent Liberal= organizer that the
matter has not been lost sight of by
the administration, although tempor-
arily in abeyance owing to the tragic
death of Sir William Petersen.
The Question admittedly touches
, both agriculture and manufacturing
in this country, and any effort to re-
, lieve these interests from the thrall
of the shipping ring cannot but meet
with general approval. it is, of
course, extremely unfortunate that
the hand of death should ,have inter-
vened at a time when public attention
was focused on this matter, but the
Premier and Hon. T. A. Low, Minister
of Trade and Commerce, are not
men of the type who readily or easily
abandon any project which they be-
lieve to be in the best interests of the
country.
Sooner or later relief will come to
the exporters and agriculturists who
find the British market the best in the
world for their products. Not only is
it the best; it is the most accessible
and in a sense the most generous, for
the British consumer, if he is satisfied
with what is offered, does not haggle
about price.
Moderate rates will bring a new
lease of life to the rancher, the pro-
ducer of bacon, wheat, fruits and oth-
er commodities, while the manufac-
turer in his turn will share in the
benefits of rates on a fair and requit-
able basis, both to shipper and car-
rier.

in standing gram without injury to
the crop, so says Prof, J. E. Howitt
of the 0. A. College.
Preparation of Solution.
A 20 per cent. solution should be
applied. This can be prepared by
dissolving 80 pounds' of iron sulphate
In 40 gallons of water, or 10 pounds
of "copper sulphate to 40 gallons of
water.
The solution should be strained
through a cheesecloth as it is put'
Into the spray. pump tank. This will
remove the dirt and small particles
that are apt to clog the nuzzles.
Time to Apply.
Apply on n"calm day just as soon
as the first few plants in the fields
show flowers. It is very important
to spray earl). if the plants are lett
too long the treatment is not nearly
So effective. If a heavy ram comes
within 24 hours atter the solution is
applied it will bt, necessary to spray
again.
Row to Apply the Solution.
An ordinary hand pump barrel
sprayer, such as is employed to spray
fruit trees, may be used, or a potato
sprayer can be used to do the work.
Care must be taken to see that each
mustard plant is covered with the
solution in the form of a fine spray.
The work must be thoroughly done
and at the right time.
Chickweed..
Chickweed is a very troublesome
weed In moist or sandy places, Some
seasons it Is much worse than others l
all climatic conditions favor its
growth or otherwise. Constant hoe.
Ing will keep It in check, and hand
weeding Is also often necessary. '
Sweet Peas and Panslee.
If well -rotted manure Is thorough-
ly mixed with the, soil, sweet pearl
and pantiles may be planted in 'same
Place each year.
COOKING OYSTERS,
Oysters should be cooked as little
as possible; never ,after they begin to
shrivel.

British under Queen Boadicea fell

"The firsit Roman London, the city
which Bo•dicea destroyed," says the
Telegraph, "was probably a little plot
of ground bounded by Ithe Walbrook
and the Thames and a rampart built
along the l'ne of Cornhill and St.

of civilized land, Britain was wild for-
est, pierced by the long, straight
roads, desolate moor, and fenland,
and so it remained for hundreds of
years after the withdrawal of the leg-
ions.
"The Roman occupation and its
ending make one of t'he ,strangest and
perhaps one of the most obscure •ep-
isodes in history. Until of recent
Years historians have been content-
ed to pass very lightly over an epoch
concerning which do'cumentay, inform-
ation was so meagre. 1t was generally
supposed that the Romans had come,
had conquered and departed, and that
anarchy and successive barbarion in-
vasions obliterated nearly all traces of
the Roman power. To -day it is com-
ing to be understood that, although
the Legions retreated and the island
was left defenceless, the Roman never
really went away. There must have
been intermarriage with the Britons,
and the descendents of the colonists
must have remained in the island.

an tradition of law, of literature, of
the arts, although submerged by
waves of barbarism, did not perish,

of the Middle Ages was a development
of classic forms, and the mediaeval
songs and tales .are' all .made up of the
Classic stories intermingled with
Welsh, Scandinavian and German folk-
lore."
