Hoad mat Bwanoweo itaerr. A portion of th«> Temtakamlnc anfl Northern Ontario Railway at the 151* mile, or Just thirty-aeven miles above New Uikeard. has twice swallowed Itself, so to speak, and the Railway Commissioners are now waiting to hear what its next performance will be. On the first occasion the line, which at the portion referred to was a fill in of a ravine, suddenly sank to the depth of ten feet. A big gang of men was put to work refilling the vacancy. They had It levelled to the rest of the grade of the line, and were walking away satisfied that It would last, when the filling sank again, this time to a depth of at least fltteen feet. The men who are constructing the line are now earnestly engaged in another attempt to fill in the gap.

Aneiert Flying Macnioe. Kov thr.t so rvurh attention Is being paid to the problem of navigating the air, it may not be amiss to recall that i strange effort In this direction w/s made just 400 years ago. It was la September. 1507, that King .lames IV. sent a special ambassador from Edinburgh to France. An adventurer. John Damian, who had gained tne favor of the king said that he would reach France before the ambassador by simply flying there. He had a pair of huge wings made of eagles’ feathers. fastened them to his body, and in the presence of thousands of people he launched himself iato the air from the wall? of Stirling Castle. Instead of rising, thoegi® he fell to the ground aud broke his leg. The air navigator's excuse for his failure was that some cock's feathers had been mixed Jn with the eagle's plumes, and that these influenced the body earthward—\Vn-.« -*o voraid.

A Hard Deal. Speaking fecently at a patriotism and preparedness meeting in New York. T. P. O’Connor remarked that the new ideal was a haid one to live up to. more especially as the average American citizen was only just beginning to realize the full nature of the sacrifices demanded of him. •'He Is like the young city clerk," continued Tay Pay, "who thought it would be a good and pleasant thing to spend a holiday at a country farm when harvesting was at its height. ••I suppose,'’ the fanner said to his guest on the night of his arrival, ••you won’t be wanting to get up very early in the morning?" "No.” said the city chap with a laugh, "I think I prefer to sleep late.” All right,’’ said the farmer, "in that case we won’t have breakfast till 4 3S a. m."

COMMUNITY CLUB IS ORGANIZED IN IOWA Boys and Girls Carry Out Interesting Program of Work.

Club Ha« Advantage of Encouraging Young People in Local Problems and Probably Will Be Mesnsof Holding Them on Farms. (FTPpared bv the United States Department of Agriculture.) A team of club boys from Cass county, Iowa, won the pig club demonstration at the state fair last fall. Later the United States Department of Agriculture aiked this team to demonstrate dully u> its exhibit at the National Swine show at Des Moines. Immediately thereafter the members of this demonstration team, with other enthusiastic boys and girls of their home community, organized the ‘‘Progressive Club of Washington Township," with their own officers and program of work. Regular monthly meetings of the club are held. Part of the Ume Is given over to songs and yells and a game hour The business program includes discussions of subjects rt^ lafed to the farm or home.

“/fWorth the Difference**

Members of Pib Club Exhibiting THfeir Prize Animals. from members who are engaged in various club activities, telling their experiences and results, also form a part of the program. The boys decided to enroll in a pig club this year and the girls to take up sowing cluli work. A committee has been appointed for each group to secure new members. It is planned to put on a demonstration by each section of the club at the state fair next autumn. The local leader of the club is a rural teacher and the work is done under the direction of the county agent, who has already received requests from other communities nearby asking how they could form similar eluhs. Such a club has the advantage of interesting the hoys and girls of a community in local problems and will probably be the means of encourugirig them to remain in farm work.

CONTROL GRAPEVINE LOOPER

Green Worm Is Sometimes Destructive to Garden and Arbor Grapes — Kill By Spraying. The grapevine looper, a green worm about an Inch and a half long, sometimes destructive to garden and arbor grapes and to Virginia creeper, has been found by United States Department of Agriculture observers doing some damage to vineyards in the Chautauqua belt along Lake Erie. Th** worm ordinarily feeds from early in .Tune until the middle of July. It may he killed b’- spraying. A solution of l 1 ^ pounds of powdered arsenate of lead to 50 gallons of liquid has been found effective. The poison may be used in water or may be combined with bordeaux mixture used to control fungous disease. A spray application directed primarily against the grapevine rootworm and the grape-berry moth, immediately after the blossoms fall. Incidentally controls the grapevine looper.

HAS WEALTH IN TIMBER

SMALL FRUITS IN ORCHARDS

Blackberries, Dewberries, Strawberries and Grapes Generally Give Good Returns. Small fruits should have a place in every orchard. For the home fruit supply, blackberries, dewberries, strawberries, grapes and other small fruits generally give a good account of themselves, when planted on good soil and given the proper attention. A small area of land, set to small fruits, will often bring in more revenue than the rest of the farm, provided. of course, there is a market for the surplus fruits.

BUGS CARRY WILT BACTERIA Green Beetles Transmit Disease From One Plant to Another by Means of Jaws.

Honduras Contains Many Millions of Valuable Trees. "It is estimated that there are in the Mosquitia ritory, Honduras, 90, 000,000 pine trees, more than 45,000,000 cedar and mahogany trees, and aoout 14,000,000 trees o£ miscellaneous varieties. Valuing the pine trees a‘ 25 cents, United States gold, each, or $22,500,000; the cedar and mahogany trees at $5 each, or $225,000,-000; and the miscellaneous trees at 10 cents each or $1,400,000 gives an estimated forestal value of $248,900,000 for this territory alone. The Mosquitia territory has an area of about 9,000 square miles, and is the second largest political divison in the republic. The population of the territory is about 5,000, the land is low and level, and it is traversed by the Negro, the Patuca, and the Coco rivers which are navigable for lightdraft vessels for many miles into the interior. World'* Largest Seale. The largest railway scale in the w. rid has recently been completed at M est Albany, N. Y. It is capable of accommodating a load of 1,650,000 pounds. It consists of six weighing instruments, each having a capacity of 276,000 pounds. It is designed for weighing locomotives and other heavy rolling stock.

Definrte Slandards Best. On general principles, we should raise the standard of our breeding stock, for it is axiomatic that where there is no progression there will be retrogression. Further evidence of fhe need for improvement may be found in the variety of types—th* striking lack of uniformity—among the exhibits of the same breed th« may he seen in any show ring of iBportance. This is due either to 'be lack of a well-understood ideal among breeders or to variations in dhe standards among Judges. A - can not effectively do its share in ' Improvement of the native stock tin j Its promoters have a definite 1 a- - ord in view, and the breed wfhlch ■ i the most uniform in the type sho by its individuals will be the 0,16 . transmit its characteristics most w its blood is infused into that of n j Uve stock. . ( Another reason why An ' er,f “ 1 breeding stock needs improvem may be seen in the large Influence ^ erted upon the stock-breeding r | ests by animals bred in foreign las If breeding animals can be broug- 1 _ to the country each year by ( thousand and sold at a profit, an ^ home-bred animals compare un ably with those Imported on« they meet In the show ring, talnly argues the need of InT ment In American breeding st° c For a Choking Cow.
