Fife Wheat Has

Each wheat, too. has it's own life
history and romance. fake Fife
wheats, which were the foundation
of many varieties in spring wheats
up to the introduction of Durum
wheat. Years ago, nearly century
ago, David Fife, Scotchman, OF
Otonabee, ontario, sent to a friend
in Glasgow for small bag. of seed
wheat to try in cleared patch OF
the backwoods, The friend obtained
some seed from a vessel just in from
Dantzlc. Unfortunately, it was a fall

spring. Nevertheless, David Fife
sowed It in spring, One can CUES
how feverishly the backwood's farm
er watched for the growth Of his eX-
pertinent. only three wheat heads
survived till the fall; but those three
wheat heads were entirely free OF the
rust that had ruined his neighbours
crops; and those three heads really
represented a new variety of wheat,
a fall wheat turned into a spring
wheat. David Fife treasured the
three heads and planted them in
spring. Such was the beginning of
Fife wheat in America. 1t is thought
it must have come originally from
Russia; for crossed with Russian

However easy Sunday may have
been in the reign of Charles l, writes
correspondent, the seventeenth
century saw some very stringent reg.
ulations as to the Sabbath. 1t was,
for instance, Illegal to take walk
Sunday except to church, and a man
was not permitted even to kiss his
wife on that day, while the church
authorities had power to search pri-
vate houses for those who abstained
from church. AS to Sunday trading,
an act Of James I, which prohibited
the sale of milk also forbade the cook
ing Of food. The sale Of fish, as being
perishable, was permitted by James
/, forbidden by Charles II and then
again permitted by William III.-Lon-

at the name, then looked again and
smiled.
do I understand that your name
is Robinson Crusoe?" said he.
Eyes, sir; Robinson Crusoe."
Further questioning brought out
that he was born in Wardo, Norway,
forty-four years ago and that he IS
mariner, engaged mostly on coastwise
vessels on United States shores. He
first came to this country in 1897,
landing in New York on the ship ia

Golden Fleece expedition. Crusoe
did not know how he got his name,
as he had had it so long, but he was
called Andorf in Norway. Inspector
Moore asked him various questions,
to which he answered diffidently. He
thought President Roosevelt had been

he died somebody else" would be
President. The Judge had to admit
the correctness of the reply, and Rob-

Flies and Sheen.

Fly time is on, and sheep, especial
ly rams, should be watched closely
for maggots. All rams should have
liberal quantities of pine tar around
the horns, which will prevent the fly
from depositing her eggs. When
present turpentine or dip will dislodge
them and pine tar will keep them
away, writes an Ohio breeder in the
National Stockman and Farmer. The
long and middle wool sheep are
more annoyed by the common house
fly than the Merinos and should have
a dark woods or an underground
cellar or cave in which to spend the
day. A single fly will prevent one
of these sheep from thriving whole
day.
The owner of grade flock Of
Shropshires once took the writer to
the mouth of a cave in which his
sheep spent the daylights of summer,
secure from flies and in a climate
very nearly like the native conditions
of the Shropshires of England. He
lamented the loss of the manure, but
the loss was more than made up in
the condition of the sheep.
Look out for the gadfy. Her eggs
are deposited in the nostrils Of the
sheep and almost as soon as depos-
tied move up into the sinuses of the
head, and the sheep has grub in the
head. Tar on the nose or even dust
will warn the mother fly that such a
place is not a promising home for her
future family.
In the absence of bare ground a
furrow plowed in the pasture will
supply the dust. Sheep sailed in a
V-shaped trough with tar on sides
of trough is practiced as preventive
by some fockmasters. Sometimes l
think that between gadflies, stomach
worms, lung worms--indicate by
the sheep standing with their heads
close together with their noses on the
ground and by running ticks-foot

Keep the drinking vessels filed

escapes from the beak of the little

When you whitewash the interior

A Relic of Ivanhoe.

Lovers of "Ivanhoe" will regret to
learn that the moat which once defend
ed Torquilstone Castle has been drain
ed. So far as situation and location
are concerned, the site Of Front de
Boeuf's stronghold, the siege Of which
is so thrillingly described by Scott, is
identical with that of Todwick Manor
House, a very ancient mansion not far
from >Todwick church, and situated
about half mile distant from where,
till few years ago, stood the decayed
trunk of the famous trysting tree in
Harthill Walk. A young oak, grown
from Queen Oak" acorn in Sher-
wood Forest, was planted by the Duke
Of Leeds on the spot where the old
trysting tree stood, and walk straight
across country brings one to the man
or house. The moat was fairly wide
and deep, and in digging up part of
the ground traces of the foundation Of
previous dwelling were found Not
far removed from the manor house
there is still to be seen the remains of
the small religious house, now convert
ed into a cottage, to which Ivanhoe
was removed upon his rescue from the
burning castle by the Black Knight

the school with thirty-five pupils,
which number will soon increase con-

five miles with ease, returning with
as much buoyancy as man of As

village Degeneracy.

The human population of country
villages, most sad to see, is every
year rendered less intelligent than it
was 100 years ago. All the enter
prising, intelligent young men and
maidens are ''tished" away, drawn
by bats and hooks to the great
towns; only the dull and relatively
incapable are left in the village to
marry and produce new generation.
The village population necessarily be-
comes made up of dull stock-inca-
pable, as appears from official reports,
of being educated beyond very low
stage. In some districts seventy per
cent. of the children are thus unin-
telligent, though not unhealthy or
imbecile.-Sir e. Ray Lancaster, in

PORTABLE HOUSES.
The Market In Hot Countries for
Cheap Residences.

Cheap Residences.
Ready made dwellings, which can
be taken to pieces for shipment to a
distance, have long been an article OF
commerce There is demand for
such articles in tropical or semi-trop-
ical countries where the timber of
the North cannot be had unless 1t Is
imported, and where machinery for
planning and shaping lumber cheaply
is not to be found. In a recent con-
sular report from Honduras it is said
that a one story four-room house can
be supplied from the United States
for $1,000.
AS the material is a second grade OF
white pine, and the windows are COW
cred with solid shutters, this price
may seem a little extravagant, How
ever it should be noted that there is
a porch in front, a kitchen behind and
a roof of corrugated sheet iron. Such
a building would certainly look far
better than many Of the cottages with
clay walls and matched tops, so com
mon in the West Indies, Bahamas and
Central America. SO heavy are the
rains at times in many tropical coun'
tries, and so little use is made of
paint there, that dwellings of the
class here described would probably
have a short lifetime, perhaps only
three or four years Extra pains in
the selection of material and little
more trouble in construction would
add to the durability of such house,
without adding much to its cost. The
question of economy, however, is one
for the buyer, not the seller of this
kind of merchandise to consider

The increased use Of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly The fol-
lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce Of Syrup Sarsaparilla Com
pound. Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retiring. :"
Toris Compound is a product of the
laboratories Of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Chicago, but it as well as
the other ingredients can be had from
any good druggist.
