Our' good old Sunday "story -teller"
friend, the ".Northern Messenger,"
has been for nearly fifty years afav-
orite with the Canadian people. It
gives splendid value for the moneys,
and contributes largely' to a Sunday
so well spent as to bring a week of
content. A strong ally to the tem-
perance cause and every other moral
reform, and truly a character, builder.,
It is ,such a fine paper that litany
of the. largest Suuulay Schools dis-
tribute it as their regular Sunday
School paper. For they realize that
a paper which gives so much for Atte
money and interests the older mem-
bers of the family, as well as the
youngsters, gives the parents an ad-
ditional incentive to mo that their
children attend every Sunday. And
through the weekly visits of ` the
"Northern Messenger" tire- church
helps tocheerand hearten many who
cannot, and others who will not, at-
tend its services.

NING• RODS.
To the Editor of TUG News -Record 1
Dear Sir :—I wish to warm the
farmers of Ontario against ulterior
lightning rods. I11 out investigations
we have found that en iron-cen:leed
rod, that 18, ono composed of a strip
of .copper twisted around an iron er •
steal centre, whether the centre is a
strip or wires or 'hot.h,'is a vety
short-lived trod. Th many cases the
iron is nearly all resters' away in
from five. to ten years, leaving only
the copper, which is too light either
to wear well, :or to carry oft a flash
Of lightning without melting. The
copper shralh atethoe0 rods weighs
less than half what the standard cop -
•per rods weigh. " ,any firmer who
puts these iron centred rods on his
buildings is actually gritting less pre.
sent value for his money than if us-
•rnp all -copper rod, to say nothing of
the lack of durability. A plain, gal-
vanized iron sable is mora durable
than the iron -centred rod.
In Millet:in 120 on Lightning Rods,
page 26, appears a photograph of a
piece of iron -centred rod taken .from
the peak of a building eine eight
years of use. The Iron stem and
wires were 1n several piece$, and 110)10
than hall rusted away.
It •is to the credit of all lightning
rod companies in OIttario., except two
that they are ,following the teaching
or Bulletin 120, aful do not supply
iron -centred eocis. Several months
ago 1 personally( iniorined one of the
two companies that, its iron -centred
rod was not fit to put on a building,.
and the other, even before Bulletin
120 tvas published, was notified what
its teachings would be regarding the
iron Mitred rod, and 103 - Were ad-
vised not to stock up with that kind
or rod. Yet these 'compani:es aro us-
ing other portions of the bulletin tv
induce farmers to bey these inferior
mods which it condemns.
tinder these circumstances I think
it only fair to the farmers of the
province to put them in possession of
the facts And it is not unfair to
the companies for they were notified
publicly 811100511 the bulletin and pri-
vately by letter:, thus giving then
envie time to provide a good rod.
Indeed it has been 0, matter of sur-
prise to me to learn through recent
correlspondence and personal reports
that these rods were still being sold.
These companies can just as well
Supply good rods, a( specified and
described in the bulletin.'
Perhaps it may not be amiss before
concluding to say that our investiga-
tions have shownthat properly in-
stal'led rods will prevent 7999 of loss
out, of every? .$1000 that would occur
of the same buildings were not rod -

Harvesting The Potato Crop.
The best time, -for the harvesting of
potatoes depends upon eondillion' of
soil, weather and freedom from dis-
ease, If potatoes are free from 'dis-
ease and the weather is favourable;
they should he, dug as, sone es the
tops have died. 1f, however, the soil
is of a sandy or gravelly loam, they
may be left inthe ground for a short
time without much danger of injury.
A blighted crop may as well be left
in the ground, as• most potatoes
which' are diseased will show signs of
rot before being taken up in October.
If they are to be dug, however, it is
best to delay the digging as long as
possible, and then to store the pota-
toes in a cool, well -ventilated. cellar, "
where the disease, may be checked.
Potatoes in wet soil should be dug
sooner than those in dry, well-drain-
ed,One man with a fork will take
out not more titan half an acre per
day, while a good potato -digger will
dig from five to six acres per day.
For those with only a few acres of
potatoes, , a, gooddigger is shown in
the accompanying illustration. 'Phis

mouldboard and sole -plate off a plough
and use the,landside and standard as
