BIG WILDERNESS OF CANADA
Nobody Thinks OF Going Into Region
Northeast of Lake ST. John
Approach by Big Peribonka.

The region northeast of Lake ct.
John is OFF at one side where nobody
thinks of going except few trappers.
The mining and timber have not
seemed rich enough to draw the white
man.
Tie main avenue of approach is the
Big Peribonka, the largest of the Lake
ST. John rivers. The real wilderness
begins in the neighborhood Of Lake
Tchotogoma. 60 miles up the river.
Beyond that stretches a vast region,
as fresh and wild, as natural and
primitive as anything discovered by
Columbus and with fewer human ten
ants. In the last fifty miles of its
course the Big Peribonka comes down
from it's high plateau roaring through
defiles of ragged rock and making
necessary ten or more porlages, sew
eral of them in the perpendicular
style OF architecture. OF late years
a rude wagon road has been extended
through the burnt-over country be-
tween the village of MistoOk, near
Lake st. John and the Shute Mcleod.
the last but one Of these Peribonka
falls. The necessity of climbing up
a steep river has thus been largely
eliminated. Lake Tchotogoma may
be reached from the other direction
where the means of access have also
been improved and one coming up
from Quebec by the Saguenay boat
should go in from that quarter and
come out by the new route down the
Peribonka.
The outfit is carried from Chi
countimi. at the head of steamboat
navigation, up TO the foot Of rough
water in the river, distance OF seven
miles Then comes a wagon journey
of % miles northerly to the Lac des
Iles.-Outing.

Many women in the country are

Books and Bangs.

John Kendrick Banks, author of "a
Household on the Styx," and "Coffee
and Repartee," who is spending the
summer at his camp in Maine, said in
an interview last week: People
should own and read books just as
they should seek friendships. and try
to understand their friends. A book
that one has come to know, and to
love, is one of the truest OF friends.
In my library in Maine are not many
books. but none the less Lincoln walks
there with me; Emerson is my friend ;
Balzac and Dumas are permanent

QUALITY COUNTS WITH EGGS
Annual Loss Runs Into Millions
Through Marketing Poor Article
During Summer Months.

Quality counts, not sometimes, but
eggs as with any other commodity.
The farmers annual loss through the
marketing of poor eggs during the
summer months mounts into the mil
lions in the aggregate and is wholly
unnecessary. Because of the presence
of so many spoiled eggs coming from
the farms the buyer is compelled to
pay lower prices as the poor eggs
are sorted out by him and must be
disposed of at figures far below the
market price of good eggs.
Why should not the farm producer
first endeavor to produce good eggs
and then sort them himself and know
positively that he is selling only first
quality eggs? The Gambling of eggs
is the final test and can be easily done
by anyone Arrange a common paste
board shoe box to stand on end over
a small lighted lamp. Make a hole
slightly smaller than an egg in one
side of the box directly opposite
the lamp flame and give ventilation
to the lamp by removing the end of
the box over the lamp and you are
ready to candle eggs accurately.
To produce good first quality eggs
the essentials are healthy hens; good,
wholesome food; clean nests; daily
gathering of eggs and the removal
of all males from the laying flock.
After this the eggs must be kept
in a cool, moist temperature. Given
these conditions of production and
handling, with a careful Gambling be-
fore marketing. any farm poultryman
may be certain that he is offering
only first quality product that may
command the best prices.

DESTROY LITTLE RED MITES
From Rsvages Of vermin-Esg-
Laying Out of Question.

There is no poultry parasite that
our feathered frieads are less power
less to combat than the common red
mite. The body lice can be kept in
check by the hen If she has her lib
erty, because she will frequently find
a good busting place and proceed to
cleanse herself and make things very
uncomfortable for the lice. But on ac-
count of her attachment TO her home,
no matter how poor il Is. she will go
back every night to infested roosts
and allow the mites to crawl upon her
and suck hei dfeblood. Poor biddy is
powerless to protect herself and IN
less friend man steps in and does
something for her she soon becomes
emaciated and detected. and egg-lay-
ing is entirely out OF the question.
The red mite is one of the most com
mon causes of no eggs when there
ought to be some eggs.
Cleanliness In the coop is an i'm
portant factor in the control of the
mite. as it will hide under filth, drop
pings and litter, as we'll as in cracks
and crevices of the roosts and nests.
Clean coops, however, are not entirely
free from infestation and may even
become seriously infested IL not given
treatment. Spraying is a common
means of control, cresol sprays or kerr
osene emulsion being recommended.
On account of being unable to accom-
plish thorough work by spraying it is
necessary to spray frequently in or
der TO keep the mites in check.
Probably the most thorough method
OF control is by fumigation. The
fumes will permeate every part of the
coop and Kill! all the mites, regardless
of whether they are in the litter or on
the roosts. AS all OF the mites are
killed the treatment will be effective
for long time, as it will be some
time before a coop will become infest
ed again. The fumigation method is
the easiest one to control the mites
All that is necessary is to place the
proper amount of fumigant in an oper
kettle, light it and close the doors

suits ii is necessary to use sufficient
amount of good fumigant. The com

to use and will assure good results i

WILL AEROPLANES STOP WAR
OrvilIe Wright is Moved to Say He
Likes to Think SO,
Anyhow.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is a very definite reason why the
present war in Europe has dragged
along for a year with neither side
gaining much advantage over the
other? The reason. as | figure it out,
is aeroplanes, Orville Wright writes
in Golfers. In consequence of the
scouting work done by the flying ma
chimes, each side knows exactly what
the opposition forces are doing.
There is little chance for one army
to take another by surprise. Napoleon
won wars by massing his troops at un-
expected places. The aeroplane has
made that impossible 1t has equal
lied information. Each side has such
complete knowledge of the others
movements that both sides are obliged
to crawl into trenches and fight by
means of slow, tedious routine rather
than by quick, spectacular dashes.
My impression is that before the
present war started the army experts
expected it to be a matter of a few
weeks or, at most, few months. To-
day it looks as if it might run into
years before one side can dictate
terms. Now, nation that may be
willing to undertake war lasting a
few months may we'll hesitate about
engaging in one that will occupy years.
The daily cost of a great war is of
course stupendous. When this cost
runs on for years the total is likely to
be SO great that the side which wins
nevertheless loses. War will become
prohibitively expensive. And the
scouting work in flying machines will
be the predominating factor, as il
seems to me, in bringing this about
| like to think so, anyhow.

KEEPING DOWN POTATO BUGS
Lead or Paris Green Will Prove
Entirely Satisfactory.

Potato bugs are very easily con-
trolled by spraying your vines with
arsenate of lead or paris green. You
can obtain either of these materials
from the store in your town. in which
spraying materials are handled.
Mix the poison according to the di-
rections on the package, or if very
small quantity is wanted. use about
a teaspoonful of the poison to large
bucket of water.
Apply it with a sprayer OF some
sort, but if your patch is small and
you do not have a sprayer, sprinkle
the poisoned water over the foliage OF
your potatoes with a sprinkling can,
or even a broom.
