The old trees of village have always s had feature of interest for local resi- dents. The one above given is Canaan's famsus elm. Its circumference three feet from the ground is 15feet 8 inches, It is 72 feet in height and has & spread of limbs covering 9S feet. ....
 But this is not the only historic tree in Canaan. Mrs N. M Brown tells a good story of ehe large maple tree in front of Dr Camps premises (formerly the old Gillette homestead) which should be of interest to the present generation as this is the only old tree on West Main street proper, and grand old tree it is,
 Seventy-fiYe or eighty years ago, @ast Day in New England was much like Sunday in observance, and all good peo- pie were expected to refrain from work and go to church. When Deacon Gil letts came home from che East Canaan church one Fast Day, he saw that four young maple trees had been planted in front of his premises. When he learned that his two sons had been to the woods and got the treeson Fast Day, he became highly indignant and was only prevent ed from pulling them up by his good wife reasoning with him. that the boys meant no wrong.

NR q E\/JA Saturday was ~ 5: :::; ::: ::.::::: ]: k Gi W illumination &3eElm Nl) A-RNDN night at camp,
 an hour before it was time to light up. heavy wind sprung up along the South and East shore, so that campers on those shores could not, with safety, take part in the illumination, although they had every thing in readiness. For that reason, the, committee has given them another week in which to Illuminate. and the award of prizes will not be made until after these campers have had chance to en- ter the competition. They will illumi- nate Saturday night.
 The Indian Village.
 A portion of the camp, however, was gorgeously illumined One of the unique attractions of the evening was at Judge Roraback $, where an Indian village had been erected with the wigwams and all the paraphernalia that goes towards making up such scene. A dozen or more Indian clad figures were seen about the place, and the impression was very pleasing. It was regarded by those who saw it as one of the best features of the evening.
 Other Notable Camps.
 MT Shaw's place on the hill on the west side of the lake showed up bril- liantly. The illumination from across the lake made most entrancing picture and was much commented upon.
 8. A. Eddy had the boathouse strung with Japanese lanterns and these made a very handsome appearance from the water, and also as seen across the lake.
 At W. s. Anderson's on the West shore, a huge letter "A'"was made from Japanese lanterns and presented very unique and original form of decoration, blending harmoniously with the other features of the decorations.
 Charles 5. Blake had fine display of lanterns, and his place was one of those visited with interest by the sight-seers
 Motor Boats to be Handicapped.
 The work of handicapplng the motor boats for the races, Saturday, was taken up Wednesday afternoon, when all mo- tor boats that are to enter for the race were required to make trial spin over the distance to be run next Saturday. The time of each boat was taken on this Wednesday test, and the boats were handicapped according to the time thus taken. A rule has been adopted that any motor boat making faster time Sat- urday, by one minute. than that made at the trial races, Wednesday, will be disqualified. It is thought this will do away with boats holding back speed in the preliminary race and squirting in the regular race, thereby making the race one-sided affair Under the conditions to be observed this season, every boat will have to race on it's merits, and will be handicapped according to its trial speed.

TREATMENT OF
THE SICK HORSE.

While few are justified in attempting
to treat horse that Is really sick. yet
every farmer ought to be able TO do
something for n sick animal till pro
fessional help can be obtained. I'm
proper feeding produces much digestive
sickness in horses.
Now. horse with an acute attack
of Indigestion is in the utmost need of
veterinary help There Is not much
use of pouring medicine into the stom-
ach. AS that organ Is in II deranged
condition. no assirlilation of anything
put into the stomach fakes place, and
consequently no action Is Obtained by
administering drugs through the
mouth.
The injection Of concentrated medi-
cineS under tile skin is the only ra
tiona way of treating such cases. No
ordinary farmer has eli her the instru-
ments or skill TO do this. But the sick
animal should be placed in ii roomy
box stall pentifully supplied with
bedding. and a careful man should he
with him TO prevent. az far as possible
the patient from iniuring itself when
the pains are very intense.
Many horse suffering great pain
has thrown itself down violently on
hard floor and rupfured the stomach
(which has been distended with gas).
and thus destroyed whatever chance
there might have been of successful
treatment
1t always gives some relief to cases
where there is great abdominal pain
to take cloths wrung ont of Il pot of
hot water and apply as hot as the pa
tient will stand TO the lower part of
the abdomen. This Is usually easily
done. as the animal Is In almost every
case lying down and in many cases
lying on his back. Much can be done
in this way to keep the patient from
injuring itself till veterinary help can

THE FLOcKMASTER
Sheep and Fertility.

Sheep are the greatest fertilizers of
all the farm stock. The old saying
that the hoof of the sheep is golden is
true enough. Sheep return to the soil
! 80 per cent Of fertility from the food
eaten
Provide Salt For the Flock.
The flock should have salt constant
ly before it in the pasture. SO the'sheep
can help themselves TO 1t when they
crave it. Salt is one of the essentials
of success in handling sheep
Profit In Sheep.
Those who have been raising sheep
in recent years have had nc reason to
complain. A flock well cared for adds
substantially to the farm profits and
exacts but a minimum Of care.
Silage For Sheep.
There is no reason why silage may
not be fed to sheep. commencing with
a small amount at first and gradually
increasing the allowance as they be-
come accustomed to it. However. it is
very desirable and we might almost
say Indispensable that all animals
feeding upon silage should have some
dry forage TO counteract the laxative
effect of slage.
Care of Ewes.
The careful man will turn and ex-
anime the udders of all his ewes in
tended for breeding. Never feed rye
straw to pregnant ewes. 1t generally

GOOD POINTS OF
DEVON CATTLE.


Among the several breeds Of cattls
that have been imported into this
country, mainly from England. th
breed that has been most modest ii
pushing its claim. am quite sure. +
the Devon. writes Missouri hrtrder
OF course no. one will claim for III
Devons that they are as good cream
and butter cows MS the Channel iSlanC
cattle. or such heavy mixers as th
Holstein. or such beefnlakers as Shori
horns and Herefords. but they are like
the mediocre people In This world
without making great show they art
among the attractive cattle that hav,
come to this country.
If any one We're to ask ME what Is
the most noted character of the Dev0ns
that gives them prominence woulc
say that II is their great efficiency ~
work oxen. They seem to have rep
utation in all parts of the world WHERE
they are known as being The best Of
all the breeds as work oxen But, while
their special adaptabiity III that field
has certainly given them greater prom
inence in that line than any otheI
breed possesses. il is by no means thplI
only point of excellence.
In he first place. they are good nj
around cattle. They are medium sized
of very attractive deep red roloI
smooth and blocky In shape, and thcil
horns are more uuriuht and Symmnt
REALLY curved than those of some Other
breeds.
OF course they have less size than
either Shorthorns or HolsteinS. hut
they are more compact than either
and are quicker in their movements
The oxen usually weigh from 1860 fo
1900 pounds and are so trinity built and
active that they are more efficient as
OK teams than any other breeds. Bui
because they are so superior as oxen
is no reason for them to be low in
the scale as to other points Of excel
lence.
They are good mixers. and the milk
is rich. and they have made many
records as butter cows. a test made
mt an experiment station in the north
west shows that one Devon COW made
two and two-ffths pounds of butter n
day. But the breed has never been
exploited as special butter cows or beef
