WAYS or THE PHALAROPES
In This Bird Family the Male sits on
the Nest and Hatches the Brood.

Whether years are bringing changes
habits are better known and more
carefully observed from year to year
there Is a growing, frequency in the
reports of wanderings from accustom.
ed routes of travel The northern
phalaropes. familiar along the Cana
dian coast in their migration to and
from their remote breeding grounds,
do not often wander inland But this
season the deceptive expanse OF the
great lakes and the charms OF the
Humber valley brought a straggler by
the overland route.
The phalaropes are peculiar in many
ways. They are ploverlike birds. run
ming along the shore or standing on
masses of weeds gathering a supply
of minute insects. But instead of the
slender feet of the plover and sand.
pipers they have lobed feet that rend-
er them expert swimmers, They seem
almost ridiculously small and insight
ficant when swimming ccdrageously
over the waves in a breaking surf.
In domestic affairs the phalaropes
have adopted the most startling of
modern innovations. and if they ever
establish political organizations the
chief question will be as to the wisdom
or otherwise of extending the fran
chise to males. The female is the
larger, and in summer wears a gay
costume of black, white and buff, with
a reddish brown gorget
In this she sports about on the
shore of her arctic summer resort,
while her insignificant partner, in
sombre plumage, sits on the nest,
matches out the brood and attends
faithfully to the duties of his appoint
ed sphere. Having the more impor
tant duties to discharge. he is natur-
ally less consequential than his gay
and proudly satisfied partner. Some
day there may be a suffragette move
ment among the male phalaropes. but
so far they have been content to do
their duty as they are directed by the
heads of their respective households
When the period of domestic life is
over they venture almost to assert
themselves and assume place in the
mixed tlocks The heads of the sew
eral households have then left off their
way plumage and the natural dispar-
ity is not so apparent. On the south
ward journey there may be passing
recognition of something approaching
equality, for travel and contact with
strange habits and unfamiliar views
of life may have its effect, even in
the lofty night flights and the days of
lettering recuperatiOn.

WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS.
Crown Gall is Warty outgrowth or Ex.
crescence Upon the Apple.

Crown gall is term applied TO
certain warty outgrow his or excres'
cences upon the apple, pear. peach,
raspberry, etc. forming chiefly on the
parts below ground. On the apple
these growths are more apt to occur
on grated trees at the union of the
root and the cion, but they may form
at any place where the roots have
been injured in transplanting, etc.
Experiments by the department OF
agriculture show that crown gall is
caused by specific parasite. Every
orchardist should carefully inspect all
stock which he purchases for setting.
All trees showing evidence of crown
gall should be either returned to the
shipper or burned, and future orders
placed with nurserymen who can and
will furnish trees free from disease.
Under no condition should trees be
planted which show growths of this
kind upon the roots, for not only will
1t result in an unthrifty and unproft.
able tree, but it will also endanger
other plants.

The large profits in farming in the
west in the past have been due to two
causes; To the appreciation in value
in farm lands, and to extensive meth
DDS of farming rather than intensive.
But now that land is becoming more
valuable, more intensive methods
must be employed. Notwithstanding
the fact that the farms of the eastern
states have been cultivated for 100
years or more, the average yield an
acre for the principal crop produced
is, in most cases, greater than in west.
ern states on land that has only been
under cultivation a very few years.

More Than Five Feet.

A certain newly-rich man had built
himself a fine house. He thought it
well to have library, and went down
to a bookstore. where he ordered
some books.
What kind of books?' asked the
clerk.
why, books" replied the man,
Books, you know; reading-books,"
The books came and were installed
in the library. Soon after a friend
came up to look over the place.
Here" said the man, 'is my Ii
brary. Here is where l love to get
with a book and a pipe, and forget
the outside world"
The friend was somewhat of book.
shade. He took down a book, looked
at it, and put it back; took down an
other, looked at that, and put it back,
and repeated the process several
times.
Then he asked: John, where did
you get these books?"
"Oh, replied John, Il picked them
up here and there. Whenever | found
one | liked | bought it. 1t has been
the work of many years"

it doesn't eliminate manual labor. This
device consists of an operating rod
with a husking hook on the end and
fitting in a tube which is attached to
the upper arm just below the shoul.
der. A strap goes around the wrist,
holding the hook firmly in place along
the inside of the hand and as the
arm is bent or extended the bar runs
back and forth in the tube to give it
the required length. Equipped in this
fashion, the farmer or his men can
each do double the amount of husking
that can be done by any man who has
only two arms to depend on.

The EnIaruinu Vision.

The grandeur OF the Christian life

Of truth which it affords to all true

It is a blessed thought that they who

Truth and the Life" Christ Is thus
our way to the truth, which in storm
becomes a stay and instrument OF life.

EARLY oReclAN COINAGE.
Mark on Gold lngots to Guarantee
Weiuht and Purity


Weight and Purity.
The invention Of coinage is due to
the Greeks, most probably to the
bankers Of Halicarnassos and ada.
cent Asia Minor Greek colonies. who
toward the end Of the eighth century
B. c. began stamping the small gold
and electron ingots which passed
through their hands as currency with
a mark OF some sort intended to guar
antee the weight and purity of the
metal; such ingots very soon assumed
round and more regular shape,
which We find already in old silver
coins from Aegina, nearly contempo-
rary with Asia Minor beans"
Curious to say none of the sur
rounding peoples with whom the Asia
tic and European Greeks were in con-
stant communication, political or com
mercial. took up the wonderful invea-
tion which at present seems to us Of
such obvious necessity that we scarce
ly realize how the civilized world Of
old could have got on without it.

Farm Notes.

When packing apples do as you
would be done by.
A weed killed now means 100 fewer
weeds next spring.
Plow up the old strawberry bed il
it is failing and start new one.
Store early dug potatoes in cool,
dry place. Do not put in the cellar.
Allowing a potato to take a second
growth spoils it for eating purposes.
Clip grapes off with pair Of
shears. Don't allow anyone to tear
off the punches.
Mulched potatoes will not grow az
badly as the unmulched. If wet wealth

ages late growth of wood which is apt

strength of my soul, assisted by Thy
grace, resolve to resist and deny all
my own will, earthly tempers. selfish

Cabbaue WORMS.

The common cabbage worm is
among the best known Of all garden
pests, both as a larvae and in the
adult stage, when it becomes the com
mon spotted, white cabbage butterfly.
The young plants should be sprayed
with arsenate of lead, ! ounce to a
gallon of water and the foliage kept
covered until they begin to head up
well. Water heated to 1870 degrees
Fahrenheit will destroy all worms
which it hits, without injury to the
plants.

The meaning Is that as for our first
