There is every inducement for prompt

cally. They get fresh paper when they
are out Of their supply. They buy new
pens when the ones they have refuse to
work. Stamps they get in little dribbles,
instead of keeping big stamp box full
Of them. When the ink pot goes dry, that
is the time for running out to buy little
bottle Of ink. Very few are the women
who keep in stock a great bottle OF ink

FOR DOWNTRODDEN HUSBANDS.
From Essex Street Comes a scheme That

VIII save Thousands Of Dollars.
Joe Levy, the Duke Of Essex street, whose
scheme of carrying on a pawnbroking
business at the racetracks attracted at
tention in sporting circles, has evolved
a new one. He has organized company,
to be known as the Husbands Protective
Association, and announced yesterday that
articles of incorporation would shortly be
filed. The company, according to Levy,
will be incorporated with capital Of
Sion, 600.
1T is the greatest idea of the century"
said Levy, as he waxed enthusiastic over
his plans. "Do you know that there are
hundreds of thousands of husbands in
this country who need protection from
their wives?
Il don't mean those men who let their
wives punch them or nag them. | mean
the husbands whose wives go through
their pockets at night.
Our company is going to establish sta
tions at different parts Of the city where
husbands can deposit their money before
they go home at night This scheme will
save downtrodden husbands thousands of
dollars a year, The company will extend
its operations to other cities"
Levy was asked how far the oompany's
operations had extended up to date.

He said he hid his roll in his shoes, in

the pillow and under the dining room table;
but in the still hours Of the night she always
fished it out.
Another bloke wrote me that once he
tied up his money in a handkerchief and
placed it behind a picture. Being afraid
he would forget where he put the roll when
of the room with the location Of the picture
on it. He left the map on his sideboard.
1T was a weird drawing, but he informs
me that his wife found the map, studied

each OF these many arms trips may be made

Temagam has been made accessible to
people having but little leisure at their

waters, the fishing in Temagami and the
adjacent lakes is really phenomenal. At

Smut on Onions.

People that raise onions from seed
sometimes notice dusty outbreak ON
the plants raised from seed. The fun
gus becomes established in the soil,
and such soil should be avoided for
the growing of onions from seed,
though it may be used for the growing
of tra%nsplanted onions. If it is neces-
sary to continue to use the soil for
the growing of onions from seed the
following treatment is recommended:
Mix 100 pounds of sulphur with so
pounds Of air-slaked lime. This
should be the application for one acre
Of land and it should be sown in the
drills at the time of planting the seed.
The Connecticut station reports that
one pound Of formalin in 80 gallons
of water makes a mixture that may
be sprinkled over the seed before it
is covered with the soil and that this
will prevent the growth of the rust
fungus. Some growers use a fertilizer
drill and drill into the land per acre
from Is to 125 bushels per acre of
ground lime. This helps to hold back
the disease.

Barrels or Boxes.

In a communication to the Farmers
Review, David Ruble says: why
don't the fruit dealers adopt the apple
box in place of the apple barrel?
The box is easier to handle, packs up
in less space, does not bruise the
fruit, sells better. and should not be
SO expensive. The lumber here Gore.
gon) costs but ten cents per box, and
the cost of making is two cents. For
holding a bushel of apples we make a
box here of the following dimensions:
lS inches long, IS inches wide and
ten inches deep. We use boards cut
as follows: Two boards three-fourths
inch thick 13x10 inches: two boards
one-half inch thick 14x19h inches;
two boards fve-eights inch thick 10X
1872 inches"
We publish Mr.. Ruble's figures a.
he gives them, but we do not quite
understand the force of the last three
sets Of figures. The apple box is
coming into use more and more, but
it is evident that it will have to be
made very cheap to drive out the bar.
rel. According to the estimate Of
cost by Mr.. Ruble, three boxes would
cost &c cents, which is about what
barrels can be purchased for in some
parts of the apple producing regions.
The box will have to be made much
cheaper than that unless barrels go
still higher. Barrels have some ad.
vantages ver boxes in the minds OF
the men that handle apples. They
claim that less handling is required
with barrels than with boxes, and
that the barrel can be rolled while the
box cannot. In loading and unload
