Within the last twenty years over 120 millionalree have died in the Uaited Kingdom. Between them they have left over 2230,000,000 or an average of nearly two millions sterling each. These are huge sums, but the in. come of even the most indulged of ie a trifle compared with the income of the nation as a whole, Official 'figures show that the inhabi- tants of the United Kingdom are making some two thousand millions sterling a year. The national capital works out at the useful sum of eleven and a half thousand millions. The eleven thou- sand millions represents private property ; the half -five hundred mil- lions -is the estimated value of public property such as government and municipal buildings, warships, public parks., down to the postoffice public inkpots. How does Britain's wealth compare with that of the Britain of a century ago ? The answer is simple. The Britain of 1912 is worth just six times as much as the Britain of 1812. The official estimate of that year made the nation's wealth rather less than two thousand millions. How much does the kingdom possess In hard cash? Very little in corn. parison. If an Englishman as rich as Rockefeller decided to turn all his wealth into golden sovereigns and half-sovereins, nobody elme in the kingdon would have one. There is only a hundred and thirteen millions in sovereigns and half -sovereigns in circulation, only twenty-four millions in silver, and only three in copper -a total in all of a hundred and fifty millione, which is a trifle in compari- son with the nation's capital and annual income. The explanation is that paper -in the form of checks, drafts, bonds, etc. -plays a very great part in our nati- onal finance. Rs importance is shown by the fact that though Britain pos. sesses only a hundred millionb' worth of gold, some thirteen thousand mil- lions' worth of checks go annually through the London Clearing.house. As for the wealth possessed by Britons individually, there are, ac- cording to the official estimate, nearly 300 people who are receiving over £40,000 a year, some 8(J0 people are the lucky possessors of incomes of be- tween £20,000 and 210,000; nearly 3000 people have incomes of from £10,000 to 220,000, while those who get from £3000 to £10,000 a year number about 7000. In all, between 11,000 and 12,000 people are in enjoyment of incomes of over £5000 a year. To deal with less fortunate people, there are some 1,200,00 income tax- payers -1,200,000 people, that is, are in receipt of incomes or salaries of over 2100 a year. For every person in receipt of an income of over 25000 a year there are twenty.nine who are making between £700 and £5000, and eighty whose incomes lie between 2100 and 2700. a 2,870,000 Reserve and Undivided Profits 3,500,000 - DANDRUFF Total Assets 44,000,000 MBE incentive to thrift that a savings ao- count gives yon is even more valuable than the actual interest that accumulates upon the deposit.

To many people it is a myth, existing only in the imagination ; but to the majority it is a reality. R is said to be an acute infectious disease occurring epidemi. catty, chiefly among carnivorous ani male, especially the dog and wolf. It is usually known as rabies -canine madness. The latter is a naueh more comprehensive term. The word hy. drophobia comes from two Greek words signifying water (hydro) and fear (phobia.) "The fear of water is a symptom, says Dr. lIart, "asually marked iti human cases, but is never present in the dog at any tage of the disease." It is interesting to note the varioue kinds of fear or phobia. In addition to hydrophobia, the fear of water, we have monophobia, the fear of being alone ; claustrophobiathe fear of narrow places ; agoraphobia, the fear of broad or open places ; ereutophobia the fear of blushing; triskaidekaph- obia, the fear of number thirteen; naysophobia, the fear of dirt or mi- crobes ; nosophobia, the fear of dis- ease; lyssophabia, the fear of hydro. phobia. This is the case Where a nearetie individual has been bitten by a healthy dog but through Year and and imagination develops a spurious rabies.

(From Partners AdVoaate,) Careful and long -continued wok done by the drainage authorities at the Ontai to Agricoltural College has demonetrated that, taking into eoe- sideration both wet and ordinary far in lands, drainage would give an average crop increase valued at a trifle over $20 per acre, There are probably 4,000,000 acres of land in what is known as "Old Ootario" urgently needing underdraining, and probably 5,000,000 aeras of slash, swamp or waste land, of which at least 3,000,000 alms might be reclaimed by drainage, the crops from which, added to the increase from lends already under cultivation, would melte a grand -total increase of $100,000,000 per year, Snch an increase would go far to solve the high cost of living problem and materially benefit all classes of pert - pie, The drying up of wet or swamp lands would also prove of inestimable benefit from a sanitary. standpoint, removing many causes of diseases and mitigating others, such as those of a tubercular nature. What is true of Ontario is aleo to a greater or less extent true of the other Provinces of Canada, excepting such areas as those of Alberta. When the needs of drainage are so evident and the benefits so immediate and lasting, how is it that the work is not more generally done ? By the staff of the Physics Department at the Guelph College, and by the Coun- ty Representatives of the Department of Agriculture, a great deal of drain- age -survey work has been performed. By the urgent request of farmers who realize the need, proper systems of drains have been Iaid out, but, unfor- tunately, in too many cases it bas been found impossible to carry on the undertn,king to completion. In the year 1910 as many as 15,000 acres were surveyed on 400 farms in 37 different countiee, and last year it was continu- ed at about the same rate. Lees than half the progress in drainage is being made that should be done, and On- tario is suffering a loss annually of probably $1,400,000 for that reason. Naturally, the Provincial Govern- ment does not see its way clear to undertake the work of draining in- dividual farms, and. farmers them- selves eonfeonted by the appalling scarcity of labor, are unable to grapple with the problem. So, over the coun- try, valuable land is reverting to pas- ture, and but little is realized from some of the richest soils that are among the most favorably situated in the world. The land cannot be properly worked and everywhere weeds are gaining ground for the same reason. Time was when in every locality there were men ready to handle drainage tools, but it was heavy labor, and now the ditcher is practically non-existent. Skilled and unskilled. laborers have been drawn away to the cities, whose industries thrive at the expense of the soil. Tillage and harvesting machin- ery bas enabled farmers to overcome some of their obstacles with less man- ual labor, but ditching has not been so relieved to any extent. Begin At Wrong End. Montreal killed. 25,000,000 files in a couple of weeks. According to statis- ticians this means almost the entire ; progeny of a lady and gentleman fly since the swatting began. But there i is no record of how many millions of tlies were born in Montreal during these two weeks. Wouldn't it be bet- ter to destroy the home of the fly - the garbage pile and other refuse? Seaforth Boy Shot. Tommy Blues, son of Thomas S. Blues, of Seaforth, was shot and al- most instantly killed at the*rifle butts there on Monday afternoon. During rifle practice of the cadets, young Blues, who had taken the place of the regular scorer, had registered an outer for one of the cadets, who took con- siderable longer with his next shot, and. it is thought Blues took the delay as evidence of doubt of the previous shot, and, pulling up the danger sig- nal, stepped immediately in front of the target jest as his comrade fired. Medical aid was immediately summon- ed but death had been almost instan- taneous, the ballet entering the right side under the collar bone and coming out the back at the left side. Young Blues was thirteen years old an4 a great favorite. WESTERN PAIR, LONDON, ONTARIO.

It should not be understood that enough turkeys could be reared in a neighborhood to eradicate the insect pests. If, however, there is only a commis number of hoppers they may be greatly held In cheek by a few me- dium sized flocks of turkeys. Too many turkeys or congested quarters are likely to cause blacahead. This disease Is to be feared and guarded against by pouitrymen, If it ()nee gets started on a farm It cannot be re- moved, as the organism. can live in the soil indefinitely and reinfect the flock when least expected. No farmer should depend on turkeys alone to combat grasshoppers or other Insect pests. A detailed study of the life history of every ansect enemy should be made so that a time may bo selected for the attack. The best way to destroy grasshoppers is to stir the soil containing their eggs during the winter so that the cold and natural enemies may destroy them.

In a recent bulletin on the "Prepara- tion and Use of Concentrated Lime Sulphur Spray" the Pennsylvania State college agricultural experiment sta- tion, after giving the direction for preparing and cooking the prepara- tion, says that as a safeguard against lumps or coarse impurities that may occur in the sediment of this most Important spray material in America, the concentrate should usually be strained. A. new type of strainer is shown in the Illustration. In this strainer the usual clogging Is avoided by straining upward. The liquid enters at the rear, passes upward through the screen and may be car- ried where desired through a hose attached to the spigot. The coarse particles thus fall away from the screen instead of accumulating on it, and the fine particles, which are large. sanarann Volt LIMB SULPEttal SPRAT. [From bulletin Pennsylvania agricultural experiment station.) ly negligible in the home preparation, pass along with the solution. The coarse sediment retained in the bot. tom of the strainer may be washed free of its valuable concentrates and the latter secured by running through it the water needed in later battings. For rapid work the spigot should be fairly large, with an opening three- quarters of an inch or more in diam- eter. Tlae removable screen facilitates clearing the strainer and also enables one to have screens of different mesh and of difeerett.t kinds of wire. Tinned trod wire is best for lime sulphur alone, while brass is preferable If bordeaux also Is to be strained. Cop- per in all forms is to be avoided with lime sulphUt.
