which he wrote, containing the bright
locks of hair cut from the heads OF
his little brothers and sisters, who
died in childhood. Here is everything
beside which Scott grew old, fighting,
to the loss of intellect and Of life, the
battle for honor. Here, in the dining
room, he died, through the open win
dow came the murmur of Tweed, his
requiem. The halls are crowded with
ghosts of the fair, the famous, the
noble, of the bores whom he suffered
gently, of the family and the friends
who loved him; of Lockhart, the loyal
heart, who died here also, and hence
carried into peace the burden and the
mystery of his sorrows.
At the feet of Scott, in the beautiful
ruined Dryburgh, Lockhart sleeps, and

At Dryburgh ends our pilgrimage, and
here is that last home of which Scott
was thinking when he wooed his wife.

will search In vain
- for the first home of Sir Wal
ter Scott, the house in College
Ri Wynd, Edinburgh, where his
little brothers and sisters
(1759-1766) persisted in infancy"
That house, as far as l can trace 1t,
must have stood very close to- the
site of Kirk O. Field, where Darnley,
the husband of Queen Mary, was muir
dered in 1867. But College Wynd
does not seem to have existed at the
time of the murder; it probably was
built not long afterwards, on the gar
dens or waste lands Of the Black
Friar's Monastery, or Of the town
house of the Duke of Hamilton. Short
ly after SCOTS birth his family moved
to Georges Square, then new ana
fashionable, as, with its site near the
meadows, 1t is still comfortable and
airy. Strong, square-built, and COM
modious is the dwelling; 1t was from
the window of this house, perhaps,
that SCOTS father threw the teacup
out of which Murray of Broughton, the
betrayer of Prince Charles, had drunk.
Certainly the boy, Walter, treasured
the saucer, "Broughtons saucer"
with his old ballads, skull and cross
bones and similar "gabions" las he
called them) in his little study In
Georges Square. But, on reflection,
think that the date of the legal deal
ings of the traitor Murray with Mr..
Scott q have seen the actual papers)
was earlier in date than the move to
Georges Square. The pavement OF
College Wynd, not of the square, must
have rung to the fall of the historical
teacup.
Scott dwelt longer in no one place
than in Georges Square, place little
altered, and worthy Of visit from
the pilgrim.
Scott was about three years old
when he went to his kinsfOlk at Sandy
| Knowe. The view from the tower
takes in Melrose, which he made i'm
MORALLY famous, and Hume Castle, SO
renowned in Border wars. Here the
child learned to read, studied Hardik'
mute, made friends with sheep and
shepherds, and took that romantic ply
which made him the Border minstrel
and historian.
| After his marriage Scott rented q
house in South Castle Street. Its in
terror does not repay pilgrimage, mol
is much to be said about the house
in North Castle street, where he lived
when in Edinburgh, till 1926. In the

A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent In
corporation of the international Har-
vester Company Which took over the
bus,ress of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been :snaidered by q large portion OF
the f.-:.aiog community.
The econo .nical necessity OF con-
solidation Of the interests Of manrfac-
turers and those of their farmer Gus
toners must ne apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
Of material, manufacturing and SELL
ing-the latter in consequence OF ex'
treme and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several SELL
ing agents-has made the business
improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the IN
creasing of the prices of machines or
the reduction of the cost OF manufac'
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
OF the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the Capitalization is con-
servative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered to the public, 1t having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their ascot
ates.
The management of the lnterna'
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well known, experienced
men.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
H. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
man Finance Committee, George w
Perkins; Vice-Presidents. Harold F
Mccormick, James Deering, VIM. H
Jones and John ]. Glessner; Score
tary and Treasurer, Richard F. Howe
The members of the Board of Direct
ors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley
William Deerirg. Charles Deering
James Deering. Eldridge M. Fowler
E. H. Gary, John ]. Glessner, Richard
F. Howe, Abram M. Hyatt, William H
Jones, Cyrus H. Mccormick, Harold
F. Mccormick, George W. Perkins
Norman B, Ream, Leslie N. Ward
Paul D. Cravath.
The international Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harves
ter plants in existence. The Cham
pion Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-plants that have beer
producing nearly or quite 80 per cent
of the harvesting machines Of the
world.
It also owns timber and coal lands

construction in Canada.
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced thai
the present low prices can be con
tinued, and that consequently the re
suits cannot be otherwise than bene
fetal to the f,rmer. To maintain the
present prices Of these machines
means to continue and increase the
development of the agriculture Of the
world, for no one cause has contribut
ed or can contribute more to this de
velopment than the cheapness o.
machines for harvesting grains.

summer, after his wedding, Scott at
first rented a cottage at Lasswade, on
the Esk, six miles from Edinburgh. AT
Lasswade Scott edited THE Border
Minstrelsy" and composed his own
early ballads.
In 1904 Scott rented Ashestiel on
Tweed.
Ashestiel, between Elibank and
Yair. is some four miles from Selkirk.
The house, part of which is an old peel
tower, stands on a very steep wooded
bank, above Tweed, and through the
grounds runs a brawling little burn,
immortalized in "Marmion." At AS
hestiel were passed the poets hap
piest years. Here he had grand gal
Ions upon the hills when he was think

From the Duke to the hind he knew
and was beloved by everybody.
Ashestiel with it's woods heather
clad hills and Tweed, then full OF
trout for which Sir Walter used to
angle, and with the hearty society OF
the Forest, was an ideal home for
Scott. And all the while, in his study,
looking out to the south and the wall
of woods, was a huge old invalid's
chair. When at Abbotsford, Scott was
stricken by paralysis, this chair was
