are those which have been trans
planted. The ceaseless change in
crowded cities constantly brings about
the demolition of buildings. The ma
terial Of which they are composed Is
either solid piecemeal and incorpor-
ated in other structures or wholly re-
erected on other sites.
Large quantities of such stuff are
sold for building purposes, though
they often prove bad investments. No
structure was ever more scattered
owing to this form of speculation thar
old London bridge, which is now dis
tributed all over the south Of England.
Some of the balustrades are round

others are at the alcoves of the pier
at Herne bay; one Of the aIcoves is a
feature of Victoria of Victoria park, in
East London and many Of the stones
went to build Ingress Abbey, Green
bithe, a lordly dwelling house which
cost a fabulous sum. It's owner said
that after he had spent e100,O0 on
1t he abandoned the attempt to keep
the account
Few bits Of old London, however,
have had stranger adventures than
the ratings which formerly inclosed
the space in front Of st. Paul's and
which cost no less than E11,2O0 and
originally weighed 200 tons. These
are today fragmentarily represented in
all parts of the civilized world. The
largest portion was brought by a man
for no other reason than that he had,
when young and poor, courted his wife
near the cathedral.
He consigned his purchase to Amer
lea, where he. had made a fortune, and
was then living. with the intention of
giving his helpmeet a pleasant sur
prise. And so he did, though not SO
soon, o to such q degree as he con-
templated. The ship which should
have carried the ironwork safely
across the western ocean sank at sea
and only a part of the ratings was re-
covered. That part now surrounds his
wife's grave at Toronto.
Perhaps the most remarkable SCRAP
Of old London out of town is Temple

Theobald's park, near Chestnut. Re-
moved from it's original site in 1879, 1T

when it was given to Sir II. B. Meux,
who set 1t up anew on its present site
a year later. Very curious, however,
is the gateway Of Dyrham park,
South Mimmes, since it bears witness
that transplanting London structures
in the country has been going on for
centuries. 1t originally played the part
of a triumphal arch at the restoration
when Charles II entered whitehall
amid the acclamations OF the people.

The appearance OF dodder in clover
and alfalfa fields is generally most
dangerous to the crop.
The ordinary operations of moving,
rakinE and hauling tend to spread
this troublesome parasite, and with
every new center Of infection the
chances of the crop grow less.
A recent circular of the New York
experiment station at Geneva de-
scribes the injury resulting from dod-
der in alfalfa fields, as follows:
Dodder is yellow, thread-like
twlning weed which is exceedingly
troublesome in alfalfa fields. Il APP

more in diameter. At the center Of
the spot the alfalfa is killed out, while
around the margin the ground Is

Madison Man Head Of Fairs In state
n. NJ Parkinson, Madison, was
elected to head the Wisconsin Fairs
association for 1912 at the annual ses-
sion, held in Milwaukee, after a SEES
sion in which Milwaukee came in for
an arraignment because OF alleged
poor support of the state fair. Ofcers
selected are as follows:
President-M. NJ. Parkinson, Madi-
son.
viee-President = Arthur Taylor.
Rhinelander.
Second vice-President-H c. Fisch-
er. Jefferson.
secretary-Treasurer-M. syyerson,

Il believe hiatt there should be a
close kind of harmony between the
county and state fairs: a spirit Of 10y
atty should exist similar to the feeling
We have toward our state of Wiscon-
sin, we are all citizens of the United
States first. and our first loyalty goes
to her. A similar feeling should ex-
list with relation to our state and
county fairs" said R. w. Rowlands,
secretary of the state agricultural
board, in speaking of the relations be-
tween the state and comfy fairs.
Mr.. Rowlands said the county fair
system had been developed in Wis
consin as it had not in any other
place in the world The county fairs
of Wisconsin led all others and they
should help to make the state fair
one of the best in the country.
In the discussion that followed
there was a tendency among some Of
the members present to criticize Mil
waukee for not supporting the fair
as 1t should. This brought the state
ment from c. G.. Wilcox of Depere
that Milwaukee had done its share
and had supported the fair loyalty.
People from the state who came to
the city on state fair rates, Mr.. Will
cox said, did not attend the fair
The question of how to arrange the
dates for county fairs so they would
conflict as little as possible with each
other and with the state fair was
taken up. No change could be made
this year, 1t was said, but motion
carried for the appointment of com
mittee of five to attempt to fix non
conflicting dates for next year.
