Carrot piekIes.

< Scrape and wash six medium sized carrots, cut them in lengthwise slices and, laying one over the other, cut them down into small strips as for soup.

Iha Chestnut Disease

Since the chestnut disease has become prevalent, Keney park in Hartford alone has lost probably 100 chestnut trees. Two or three thousand have been de- stroyed in New Haven. There has ap- peared no remedy for the scourge. The bark becomes cankerous, the branches die and the tree which has been attack ed, has to be cut down. .s.
 Dr. Louis A. Clinton director of Storrs Agricultural Experiment. Station, who has been making special study of the dread disease, says that there were fully 100 towns in the state in which disease was present. The disease IS detected hv the presence of the orange colored glob ules, no bigger than pin, which con- talns the spores. The fungns attacks the bark, and after it gets in it's work, the bark looks as if it were dented.
 The disease works at least a year be- fore the bad effects are noticed. When the branches are dead, it takes no expert to see tn the life of the tree is passing awav, hut there is no help. The dis ease may spread to other trees, but there is no way of knowing which trees it will attack aud which it will pass by. The origin of the disease is a matter of much discussion. Dr. Clinton lays the blame on the weather He thinks the extreme weather of the last few years has weak ened the chestnutS so that they have not been able to throw off the disease, as they did in years gone by.
 The winters of 1901-2, 1902-3 and 1903- were extremely cold. The summers since then have been dry. According to Dr. Clinton s theory, the chestnut trees have been weakened by these extremes of weather and are not able to throw off the fungus growth. Those which are strong survive, those which are weak succumb. If a wet season sets in and the trees are able to gain strength which they need, the disease may disappear.

Canadian Immigrants

During the last ten years Canada has received nearly two million immigrants, of whom approximately seven hundred and fifty thousand were from the United States. Up to the close of the fiscal year ended March 3l, 1911, the total was l,714,326 for the decade, Since then nearly two hundred thousand more have arrived, divided about equally between American and British immigrants. About 65 per cent. of the immigrants ar irving from the United States have been farmers, who for the most part hav- settled in the prairie provinces. Thirty eight per cent. of the total number from the United States made entries for homesteads in the west. About 30 per cent. of the European arrivals were far mers or farm laborers, 25 per cent. were chased as general laborers and nearly the same percentage as mechanics. The influx of negroes has totaled little more than 400 and 5,200 Hindoos have come. Of the British immigrants, ap- proximately 800, 900 have been English and Welsh, 150,000 Scotch, and about 45,OO0 Irish. Figures for other nation aities include: Austro- Hungarian. 121,- 900; Italian, 63,8l7; Hebrew, 4S,675 ; Russian, S9, $50 Swedish, 19,S49; Ger man, 21,146; French, 16,2S6; Eorwe. gian 13,79S Syrian, 5,22S. Western Canada received some So0.0c0 more inn migrants than the eastern section. Sas- katchewan and Alberta received more than half million.

Wonderful Mechanism of the Watch

Few pieces of machinery show more marvellous features than that of the watch. AS a general proposition it may be stated that 8 watch is the smallest, most delicate instrument of the same number of parts that has ever been de- vised. About one hundred and seventy five different pieces of material enter into it's construction and upward of twenty-four hundred separate operations are comprised in it's manufacture.
 Certain of the facts connected with its performance are ealmostincredible. when considered as whole. A blacksmith strikes several hundred blows on his anvil in day and, as matter of course, is glad when Sunday comes; but the roller jewel of watch makes every day and day after day-432,000 impacts against the fork, or 157, ,680, ,000 blows during the course of year. without stop or rest-or some 3, ,153. 500, 900 blows during the space of twenty years, the period for which watch is usually guar anteed to keep good time.
 But the wonder of it does not cease here. It has been calculated that the power that moves the watch is tQuiYa- lent to only four times the force used in fea's jump. The watch-power is. therefore, what might be- termed the equivalent of a four fiea-power. Que horse power would suffice to operate 270. GOO. 900 watches. -- .
 Furthermore, the balance wheel of a watch is moved by this four fiea-power one and forty-three one-hundreths inches with each vibration, or 3,5582 miles con- tinuously in one year.
 Not much oil is required to lRbricate the little machine on it's 3, 3,500-mile run. It takes only one-tenth of a drop of oil to oil the entire machinery of years service. Scientific American. }-

Dill Pickles.

Select good sized but tender cucum- bers, wash and place them for several hours in cold water, drain and place them in a stone jar with dill between. Then boil water and salt, allowing for each quart two heaping tablespoon fuls of salt; boil five minutes, re move and when perfectly cold fill the jar to oyerfowing with the brine; then close it and set in a cool place. If the jar is not quite full place a small saul cer or a bit of board, with a stone on top, over the cucumbers to keep them under the brine. These are delicious with beer supper, and cucumbers so prepared are also considered very wholesome.

Uniform Automobile Laws

An effort is to be made to secure un- form automobile laws so that the pres ent farcical situation will not only be relieved but entirely done away with. An exchange commenting upon the present situation says:
 "Under the present system of state regulation citizens travelling from one state to another are subject to much in- convenience. They enter one state after having complied with the law of the state they have left, only to find them selves violating the law of the state whose line they have just crossed.
 fTo travel through the United States without inviting official attention for in- fraction of the law, the automobiles would need forty six. different licenses and knowledge of the complicated laws of each Of the states, a requirement. not at all in harmony with our theory of free government.
 ''The United States supreme court is still to determine the question whether automobile traffic is commerce under the terms of the United States consti- tuition. If it is, no state has the right to interfere with 1t in any way, and the laws of the various states on the subject are void and of no effect"
 Certainly the law-abiding automobilist is up against it in more ways than one. Those who try to keep within the law and use their machines in a rational way must suffer for the delinquencies of the careless or foolhardy ones until at the present time every man who drives a machine is legitimate game for every constable and officer of the law who may be prejudiced against his class on general principles, or who may be over-zealous in enforcing the law.-Hartford Post.

IMPORTANCE OF ATTENTION
TO MEMBERS OF SHEEP FLOCK
Extra Care Constantly During
Summer Months II Good Condition of Lambs

CBy ELMER HENDERSON,

OF all the things that should merit
the attention of the farmer at this
time none are more important than
the lambs.
The Saviour's oft repeated admo-
milton of Feed My Lambs" always
has been and always will be the slo-
gan of the truly successful sheep
farmer.
No matter how carefully you care
for the eve during the trying period
of lambing, nor how well you feed her
during the raw, chilly months of early
spring, If now, during the hot months
you neglect the little ones, all your
work has been in vain. For it Is then
that the really trying time comes.
Until summer climatic conditions
have been fairly conducive to the best
health and growth of the younb
lambs. Grass has been abundant and
the eve has been liberal in her flow
of milk. Now, however. q change oc-
ours In the life of the little one.
Our days, which before have been
cooled by cool and balmy breezes
