HOW CAMEL WAS PERSUADED
Beast, Resented Carrying Bushman's
Teakettie, and Was Lead to Be-
lieve Rider Did the Work.

In 1866 camels from India were first
brought to Australia for general serv-
Ice, says Norman Duncan in his book,
Australian Byways." 1t was a happy
experiment. A herd of more than GOO
arrived with their Afghan masters in
1884. 1t is estimated that there are
now 10000 camels at labor in the dry.
back regions of the commonwealth. An
Australian loves horse and respects
the sturdy worth Of bullock; he re-
CARDS camel, however, with tolerance
rather than appreciation, and will not
employ so Outlandish and perverse a
beast except to the great advantage Of
his needs.
I'VE used to think" said Jerry. the
camel driver employed by the author,
that we couldn't get along without the
'Ghans.'"
Surely they know how to take care
Of camels?' I asked.
NO fear!" Jerry scoffed. '"They, had
a lot of uperstitions-like curing a
camel with a necklace of blue beads
and that's about all. The government
breeds better came!s now. That's only
natural; we're white. I don't mean to
say, though. that we've bred the devil
out Of our camels. Sometimes l lose
patience with the brutes.
"a couple of years ago l was travel
ing to the north of this with a train
OF four pack camels. One morning
when was packing found that | had
forgotten to stow away a billy can
(bushman's teakettle). When l picked
that little billy can up and made for
the nearest camel, meaning to hang 1t
on his pack, he began to double and
grOan, as If it wasn't his billy can, and
he wasn't going to carry more than his
share, and what did l mean anyhow
by proposing to overload poor camel
that way? So to make things easy l
switched off to the next camel. And
he began to groan. They all groaned.
Not one of them would have that little
billy can on his back.
"Well, l was disgusted. Instead Of
hanging it on a pack l mounted my
riding camel, with the billy can in my
hands. He was Mortified. Goodness,
how he bawled! When he got up he
was bawling still. Wouldn't move a
step! And then I leaned forward and
shook that billy can in his face. And
that satisfied him. OF he went with
out murmur. Why? I reckon he
thought was carrying that billy cam

Ship Of Mystery.

The manufacture of large part Of
machinery to replace anything broken
is almost impossible in the limited
space of the battleships machine
shops. But wondrous feats are per-
formed in the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote from
dock facilities, states a British war
correspondent.
The repair ship is huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treating
wounded battleships. These ships en-
ploy some of the best artificers from
our naval dock yards, and are scat
tered in every quarter in which the
British fleet is stationed remote from
dock facilities. The Boche has moth
ing like them, and it has been stated
that no inquisitive Boche has ever
been allowed to intrude his nose
aboard one to investigate it's myster-
les and take the information to his
employers of how the strange feats
performed by the repair ship are eff
fected. The repair ship is the abode
Of secrets.

CUT OFF SUPPLY OF ARSENIC
Present Outlook is That Potato Beetle
and Other Bugs Will Flourish
Next Summer.

The effects of the war are very far
reaching. Even insect life in this
country Is feeling its consequences.
The why and the wherefore is this :
United States has been getting arsenic
from abroad to use in the poisoned
sprays and mixtures utilized in fight
ing Injurious insect pests. The war
has cut off these impOrtatiOns and the
supply of this poison in this country
is limited. The outlook is that the
potato beetle will have good time
next summer and so will the cutworm.
and grasshopper families. The fed
eral food administration has taken
steps looking to the conservation OF
the arsenic supply as a means OF in
creasing crop production next year.
No arsenic means decreased crops be-
cause OF greater. insect ravages.

erS who have seed for sale and farm
ers who wish to buy seed can get to-
gether. The department specialists
also urge farmers who have only linn
ited quantities Of pure seed to make
every effort to preserve the supplies
and to get maximum Increases in seed
next year, using special care in storing,
planting and cultivating.
The immediate cash loss a farmer
may experience through refusing to
sell all his seed to the Oil mill at pres
ent tempting prices will be more than
offset by the advantage to be gained
next spring in having plenty of seed
available for planting and replanting.
A bushel Of seed may bring the farmer
81 now, but next spring it probably
would plant two acres. from which a
bale of lint and 80 to 40 bushels Of
seed could reasonably be expected.
Help Other Farmers.
It is explained that liberal carry
over Of seed, generally, would enable
localities not needing to replant next
spring to release seed for use in other
similar sections where third or
fourth planting may be required be-
cause of extreme conditions. Under
such circumstances farmers having
surplus seed would be helping to solve
the problems of other farmers if, in
stead Of selling to the oil mill, they
would notify the chairman Of the seed
stocks committee Of the state in which
they live as to the variety and guam
tity Of seed they have on hand.

Many of them survive temperatures as
low as 20 degrees below freezing, while
eggs if protected by grass or similar
material may survive zero weather.
Seed ticks can live in the grass for

starve, however, the hungrier they get
