Value Of Barnard Manure.

The real value of the denominations in
the baTnyard Is beginning TO be appreri
aIed. We have farmer readers who have
said to lis that they didn't believe muci
in baruyard manure. They believed il
made their land ito rich We really
never have seen any land that was too
rich. 1t might be too rich for par
ticular crop if highly MANFRED, but if the
manure Is applied where it belongs. in
Il rotation. there is no danger of land
ever getting too rich. 1t might maho
land too rich for an oat crop to manure
it heavily. because il would make too
rank a growth of straw. but there's tho
grass land that always needs Just the
kind of growth that is objectionable in
case of oats. Put the manure where
it belongs. and no farm ever makes too
much OF it, While the manure pile is
beginning to be appreciated. there are
great many who do not know it's real
value. They do not appreciate the fact
that if it is put in the right place il
means increased yields, and returns far
exceeding the cost Of application. HI"
reason why there is failure to apprc
ciate the value of the barnyard accumu-
lati0nS is because farmers have been for
a long time accustomed to very rich
and comparatively virgin soil, but there
never was Il soil SO rich that it would
not wear out by continuous cropping
without any returns being made to it.
Every comparatively new country is
slow to learn this 1t has the accumula-

THOUSAND POUNDS FOR A FLEA.
Expedition to Catch Polar Specimen
How to Capture the Insects.

Charles RothSchild has taken heroic
measures to add specimens Of the Arctic
1ea to his collection of those insects in
the famous geological museum ut THING
park.
He has already many thousands of
teas, obtained from birds and beasts in
all parts of the world but the Arctic
section of the flea department is sadly
deficient
The flea he covetS most is that of the
Arctic fox, for no two kinds of animals
have similar heas. and the flea of the
Arctic fox is TO flea fancierS what the
egg of the great aux is to collectors of
birds eggs In fact. only two perfect
specimens are known tn exist in collec-
tons.
Considerably over year ago Mr..
Rothscllld commissioned the captain of
the Forget-me-not, an Arctic sailing
whaler, To hunt for specimens. The gal
liant captain returned. apparently tealeSs
for Mr. RothSchlld has nov offered Il
reward of 1900 for the Arctic fox flea.
In addition to the reward Mr.. Roth
sefild has fitted out Il full-Sizcd cxppdi-
ton. the Whaler Forse t-mc-uut has again
been pressed into service. and gallant
flea-hunting party is now we'll ON the
way To the polar regions
The Forget -me-uot was last reported
off Newfoundland where one of the
scientists III board was interviewed by
the aid of wireless telegraphy. He said
that in addition To the Arctic fox spcci-
men they expected 10 collect tpaS of the
polar hear. the reindeer, the Eskimo
dog and the Arctic hare.
Lest anyone should scent grim terrorS
in flea hunting on the back of a polar
bear il should hc stated that the cx-
pe,litiun will first Kill the animals and
then loot their heaS.
An Express representative who inter-
viewed DR. Jordan. the chicf-in-cha rye
at FIRING park museum on the subject
OF flea hunting, WAS informed thar by
far the easiest ana safest way to catch
tieaS is 10 kill the animal whose fiea is
wanted. The insects leave the dead
body AT once. and a deXterouS huutSman
then secures n big bag.
The expedition has supplies Of phials
chloroform. and labels. and any fleaS
which may eventually reach Tring park
will arrive labeled with the name Of
the animal on which fley are found.
Already there are many feas i'm the
museum If which Mr. RothSchild is
proud There are the mole flea. the
largest specimen known; the sand flea,
the most Injurious of all his tribe; ana
other specimens which Or. Jordan says
are too dainty to live ON The human body

RENTED FINERY.
Fine Showing Made in England in Sec

As dealer in secondhand clothes,

For promenade, thcater wear ~ church

demand says the dealer. Gay colors,
silks ana satnS are safe stock. and DUR
ing the winter we purchase any quantity
of ball dresses, evening gowns, cloaks
and wraps of attractive make. These
gowns we do not always sell again. we
find it more profitable TO let them out for
triiling igure-an arrangements suiting
the requirements of our patrons better
than outright purchase.
Thus, fancy dress of favorite coloT
does duty on many figures throughout Il
season. Here is Il pink satin of excellent
quality that has borne many ceaningS
and alteration and still looks better
than new satin of second-rate manu-
facture y pretty girl wore it every
evening for Il week ut Scarborough last
summer. BY wearing first black, then
an amber-colorcd lace skirt over it. with
various ribbon adornmentS and fancy
blouses, she certainly looked dreSsy aud
becoming for really next to nothing. We
saw her at church parade appearing rs

their gowns cheaply. y handsome ball
