ish tribe, well-known figure in Van
couyer City, and his tillikums. WHOSE
mission has been referred to In tba
Daily Mail, came to an amazed half
when they heard in the familiar CHI
nook dialect the welcome, SAYS the
London Mail.
"Kla-how-yah, tyhee tillikums. spose

Broad smiles broke over their stoIcal
visages, they laughed deeply and gut
turally in their Joy, and with one voice
exclaimed:
"Na-wlt-ka! Na-wit-ka, tilllkumv'
What the Daily Mail representative
said was merely, "How are you, chiefs?
/ guess you are tenderfeet (ctee-chah-
kos), too; the homeland is far away"
And what they replied: Eyes, yes, com.
radew
They complained that in the long
journey from Vancouver to Montreal
they lad suffered terribly from the con,
fnement, but In the "hylu caneem"
(steamboat) on the "skookum chuck"
(ocean) their misery was complete.
They are waiting the pleasure of the
"hyas tyhee" (king), and to tell his ma
jesty that the Indian must have free
dom to fish and hunt the game In his
native woods and streams or perish
The white man has come with his Shy
ack-gun' (qulckfirers), and has driven
tie samo far back into the mountains.
They have called upon the Hon. ].
P. Turner, agent general in London for
British Columbia, and he has spoken
cheering words to them.
They are eager to return to the dis
tant "illabies" (camps), and every sun
set brings keener twinge of the heinz
web Of the exile. To them the city Is
inexpressibly vast and bewildering and
impressive-but "Kla-ta-wah Kla-ta-
wah!" ("Let us go!") is the chief Of
their thoughts.
Their Interpreter said to the Daily
Mail representative yesterday afternoon
that they have the utmost confidence in
the success of their mission, upon which
they are to report to great gatherings
of the Squamish, Cowichan and the
Kamloops Indians on their return
home.

farmers Bath.

All farmers do not feel able to az
ford a bathroom and furnishings. But
what class of people need an evening
bath more than a farmer after a busy
day In the dusty fields? A good bath
at night should be a necessity that
ought not to be neglected, and hus-
band and hands should have bath
every night during hot months. But
how? Well, get some empty oil bar
rels, knock out one end and let oil
evaporate, and your bath barrel Is
ready. Fill barrels at noon (half or
more) with water, let set in sun; at
night put gallon of hot water in each
Darrel and when darkness has, fallen
then take a bath, and with thin-gauze
undershlrt and drawers they are ready
FOR bed. Their sleep will be sweeter
and the work lighter on the poor wash

EFFECTUAL.

1t Is not the severity of a punish
ment, but Its fitness, which tells. The
little MILDLY who, by the pen of Mr..
Montague, gives the following incidents
in his "Recollections," might have sur.
fered sterner correction for his misde
meanor which would not have been
one-half as successful In its outcome as
the method adopted by the captain.
That wise ruler of men fitted the pun
ishment to the deed, and the small boy
never forgot 1t:
1t was a bitterly cold day, and the
wretched MILDLY Of the watch bad to
walk on the lee side of the deck. L
was perished with cold, and thrust nv
poor little fingers in my pockets to keep
them warm.
The captain, seeing my hands In my
pockets on the sacred precincts of her
riajesty's quarterback, called out in
a stentorian voice:
Pray, sir, who allowed you TO mt
your hands in your pockets on the quar-
ter-deck? Go down Immediately to the
tailor and tell him to sew you up!"
I fled, feeling that l was disgraced
for life, and that my character was
gone forever. The tailor was busy, but
he twigged the situation, dropped every.
thing. and sewed up my pockets In no
time.
Then l went back to the desk to re-
port with fear and trembling. Instead
OF being roared at in angry voice, l
was accosted by fatherly tones.
"Now, my boy,' said the captain,
heres lesson for you. Do not do
1t again. Go below to the tailor and
tell him to unsew your pockets"
If l had been denied leave for a
month, the lesson would not have been
so effectual.

gardens, drlveways, lawns and shrub
berry should be completed In all their
details. Indeed for best results it is
well that most of this work be done
gradually though having all the time
fixed plan in view Land is not so
valuable that an acre or two cannot be
devoted to artificial adornment.
1t Is the rule of life to provide first
for necessities, then for comforts and
finally for pleasures. Most Of our coun-
try Is too new to permit of much atten-
ton being given to landscape garden

been directed to the acquiring of lands

tions for improving the appearance of
the farm home without any consider
able expense. The first shows a farm
home well sheltered by surrounding
trees. The space Immediately around
the house Is clear to allow of clrcula-
ton OF the air. The view from the
front of the house is unobstructed. The
second Is an example of what may be

not a model to be followed in detail,
but embodying some general principles
that may be adopted.
Straight lines and square plots so
desirable in the laying out of fields are
not the most desirable for the home
grounds Curved lines especially for
the driveways take away the stiffness
and add naturalness to the scene. In
the Illustration the double driveway in
front makes too complicated a plan for
the ordinary farm. A variety of trees
and shrubs should be used around the
house without having them too close
to allow free circulation of the air and
a view Of the roadway in front.-Mon-
treal Star.

II shall winter In the Sahara" said
a travelling man. "With caravan I
shall traverse under a binding sun and

Against that dazzling glare the
backs Of their necks will be swathed in

keep the sun out of their faces.
Wondering about this, l said one
day to the kaid Of an Algerian village:

"The destructive green pea lous.
alone is estimated to have caused loss
Of $7O00,O00 during the two seasons Of
1899 and 1900 just along the Atlantic
coast" That statement appears In the
Introduction to study of the Nectaro,
phora solanifoAi Ashmead which is SET
forth in bulletin of the Maine agri.
cultural experiment station. The N
S. A. is not itself a green pea louise, Its
familiar name being the potato plant
louse but 1t helps all its relatives
among the aphids to add to the millions
charged against the country every year
for their keep. And here we have only
one family. Look at the bugs In the
report of the Secretary Of Agriculture,
think of the extent of country they COW
er and then consider how much more
that green pea experience means than
appears at first sight. The contraction
Of the circulating medium Is nothing tc
the expansion Of bugs, and how that
goes on this bulletin explains. The N.
s. A. and other aphlds winter in the
egg state and from the egg wingless
form called the stem mother comes In
the spring. This stem mother produces
living young, which begin at once to
feed upon the sap Of the plant, and
after eight or ten days the young have
offspring. Then some Of these children
or the chlldren's children are endowed
with wings which enable them to take
a trip abroad. They now start colon
les on fresh plants, and the tribe null
tiplies enormously through many gen.
erations. The insects may now desert
what Is called the host plant and take
to another kind, perhaps for variety's
sake. For example, "the plant louise
destructive to hops passes part of It's
life cycle upon the plum tree" and,
says the bulletin, this alteration Of
hosts is point In the life history of
aphididae of great economic slgnifi-
canoe, for 1t sometimes happens that
species can be controlled on one plant
and thus Its attack upon the alternate
host be prevented" After the change,
however, the insects return to the or
iginal host In the fall, males and egg
bearing females appear, the eggs are
deposited in the plant and new cycle
begins. We present this summary as
an Interesting illustration of the rapid
Increase of pests which continually
threaten our food supply. But fortu-
nately there Is a defensive army, not
maintained for some possible emer-
gency. but fighting dangerous foes the
year through. 1t is marshaled under
the Department of Agriculture and the
State boards and the more it fights
the better. This certainly is a kind Of
mllitarism that no one will complain of.

The amount produced and the yield per
acre have both increased steadily and
encouragingly during the last few
years. On every hand it is admitted
that it is both possible and necessary
to raise all that is needed for home
consumption. Alfalfa, Bermuda grass,
Johnson grass, crabgrass and cowpeas
furnish an abundance Of hay Of the
very best quality. This hay can be pro-
duced much more cheaply than an
equal quality can be shipped in from
Northern and Western States. With
better transportation facilities and an
increasing demand, the production will
become more and more profitable. AT
the same time, with hay raised on the
home plantations, and hence cheaply
and readily available, larger quantities
are being used in feeding the planta-
tion stock.

Regular Feeding and Variety

Two things are essential to the thrift
or animals-a variety in their food and
regularity In its receipt. One article
OF food cannot supply all the necessary
sustenance. because 1t may lack some
OF the essential elements, and is almost
sure to have some insufficient quanti-
ties. Animals do not thrive as well
when fed irregularly as when they get
their food at certain seasons. The
more regular the food is supplied the
better the results.

The Conservative party in England
is now trying political novelty which.
In Ingenuity and completeness, may
well delight the heart Of an American
campaign manager Eighteen specially
constructed horse-drawn vans are en-
gagged In political tour of England

a stereopticon and gramophone. The
vans are so designed that the rear end
may be used for a screen, upon which
cartoons and party war-cries can be
thrown by the lantern. British Work

No Reward to Thrift" "The Policy Of
the Radicals is to Promise Everything
The Policy Of the Unionlsts is to do
Something"-these are some of the sen.

Frozen Milk.

Whenever milk is scarce In the cities
somebody comes forward and suggests
that it be shipped from distant points
in frozen condition.
This Idea has been frequently sug-
gested during the past years, but it does
use. The latest suggestion is that the
fresh milk should be frozen by sub
merging the sealed cans in brine chilled
far below the melting point of Ice. The
milk would not only be frozen, but
would be cooled still further to hard,
dry ice, which, 1t Is claimed, would re-
main in the solid form after removal
for day or two before the entire
mass would rise to melting point,
the keeping qualities being much su-
perior to that of milk which Is merely
frozen at common temperature.
The operating plan would be to es-
tablish freezing plant at the cream
cries and milk stations, the frozen
product to be shipped in ordinary cans,
thus doing away with the present high
cost of refrigerating cars.
1t Is claimed that frozen milk kept
over a month in refrigerator room
showed no change in taste on thawing,
and that the cream remained evenly
mixed throughout the solid mass. not
rising. as 1t would when milk is merely
kept liquid at low temperature. Milk
for freezing would need to be in fresh,
clean condition when frozen, else its
keeping period would be very short
after melting. If this plan ever comes
into favor. 1t would greatly increase
the competition in the business of sup.
plying milk in the great cities.

Planning the Homesrounds.

Because of the permanency of habl-
tation on a farm the greatest care
needs to be taken in deciding upon
plans for dwellings, barns, lanes and
tree planting. Unlike the town resident
who Is here to-day and away to-mor-
row the owner of a farm becomes at
tached to his home and can look for
ward confidently to leaving 1t to his
sons and grandsons after him. The
site for the house having been fixed the
other buildings will group themselves
TO the side or in the rear. 1t is not to
be expected that In the first few years
after taking up homestead that the

and nine pieces IL or 10 inches long for
each coop. Nail the short pieces one at
each end and one in the center of tbe
long ones, using ten-penny wrought
nails. Make three of these frames, one
for each end and CENTER For the bot

order to put poultry in and take it out.
Now nail lath around the GOODS. eacb
end and the center, outside, the three
frames made first. This will keep the
lath from coming off and make the
coops stronger. For broilers the coops
can be made 10 inches high and "a inch

light coop.-P. III. Sprague.
