Wood Chopping a Sport.

In Tasmania is to be found a ma.
tional pastime that is special and par
ticular TO that State alone-the sport
Of wood chopping. 1t says much for
the grit and vigor of Tasmaniaas
that this really serious and arduous
work should be regarded as the fin
est sport
At Hobart and Launceston they
have their turf meetings, their eric
ket. football. golf. cycling and 80
forth, but to wood chopping contest
people will flock from far and near
men, women and children-and watch
the axe wielders hewing away at
huge blocks OF timber as II life and
reputation depended upon the issue.
Thud, thud, thud go the axes and the
splinters fly in all directions, the
judges calmly sitting near taking
note of the strokes, the spectators
cheering the competitors from time
to time as frantically as IL they were
,racehorses. To be a wood chopping
champion means something to a man

NOTES.

If you have no natural shade for
the fowls, provide some in a con-
venient place.
Look after the trap nests prompt
ly these hot days or large hens will
suffer.
Do not neglect growing chicks this
month because they have some size
on them. Keep them busy.
The hot midsummer days usher in
trying period in poultry life. If
the lice and mice were not thorough
ly eradicated earlier in the season,
they will get in their best work dur
ing the heated term, unless a merci-
less war is waged upon them.
If people took the precaution to
rid their fowls of vermin during the
winter and early spring months, the
OF loss in young chici;s
would be considerably less. Lice kills
more young chicks every year than
most anything else, and yet many
people who keep poultry employ no
means whatever to exteminate them.

OIL Fuel In tire british Navy.

1t is curious that the British naval
authorities should have abandoned
oil fuel at a moment when in foreign
fleets 1t has been decided that its
advantages are so considerable as to
make it desirable to abandon coal in
the smaller craft.
1t is probable that there is one sim.
pie explanation of the change in Ad
miralty policy. The British Empire
has. very limited resources of oil
fuel and at present the supplies o,
the navy have to be obtained from
abroad. These supplies may be- cut
off in time OF war and therefore the
Admiralty is compelled to sink con.
siderable capital in reserve stores of
fuel.
The British navy already possesses
large number of ships which make
large demands for oil fuel. All the
later capital ships OF the navy carry
oil fuel, in addition to coal, and for
some years past all torpedo craft
have been fitted exclusively. for the
use OF liquid fuel.
Apparently the Admiralty has de-
cided that in view OF the present
limited sources o. supply and their
liability to interference it is an act
ot craftsmanship not to commit the
navy further in this direction. There
is every reason to hope that in the
near future additional supplies OF oil
fuel will be available within the Brit
ish Empire, and then presumably the
Admiralty will revert once more to
its use in new ships.-Cassier's Maya.

FALL PAINTING.

The majority of property owners
are under the impression that spring
time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several ad-
vantages to tha painter. One of the
most important is that surfaces are
almost sure to be dry, and there is no
frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.
Pure white lead-the Dutch Boy

VALUE OF SHADE FOR POULTRY.

VALUE OF SHADE FOR POULTRY.
In many parts of the country
means for affording relief from ex-
cessive heat must be improvised as
They are not naturally available.
Where the poultry keeper lives upon
q place having woods or abundant
hedgerows his work is very greatly
simplfied. For instance, under these
conditions. IL he, with the advent o!
warm weather, will remove his fowls
TO the shelter of the trees or hedges
he will find that they will grow fas-
ter. We know from our own expert
ence how welcome, upon a hot sum-
mer's day, is the shade, and what is
true OF ourselves is equally true of
our fowls. If they are placed ont
in the open and exposed all day to
an excess of sunshine, they have the
same feeling of discomfort that we
experience under like conditions.
Consequently the effect is seen in re-
tardation of the development of the
body, and sometimes in loss by death.
Moreover, under these circumstances
there Is a lessened activity on the
part Of the fowls. We have only to
watch them in the open fields to see
that they cover, during the greater
part of the day, under such small
shade as is available, whereas those
having the shelter of trees or hedges
are active and happy. They seem
more or less constantly engaged in
seeking natural food, and in short
are living under conditions which |
must tend to their development and
10 the profit of their owner. NY ad- |
vice, therefore, is that wherever pos
stble the benefit of the shelter which |
nature has provided be given. Under
these circumstances there Should
have taken place. even earlier than
his, removal of the coops or brood
ers, or OF the colony houses in which

CHILD ATE CUTiCURA.
Spread Whole Box Of 1t on Crackers
Not the Least Injury Resulted
Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend of Cuticura writes:
My three year old son and heir, after
being put to bed on a trip across the At
lantic, investigated the stateroom and To-
Gated a box of graham crackers and box
of Cuticura Ointment. When a search was
made for the box, it was found empty and
the kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on the
crackers. 1t cured him of bad cold and
don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence could be
offered that every ingredient of Cuticura
Ointment is ABSOLUTELY pure, sweet and
harmless. If it may be safely eaten by
young child, none but the most beneficial
results can be expected to attend its appli-
cation to even the tenderest skin or
youngest infant.
