Monument for Apple Tree
Erected by the Farmers OF
Dundas County, in Ontario

One of the most novel monuments in
existence has been built in Canada by
the farmers OF DuHdas county, On
tario. They have erected a marble pill
lar to mark the site on which grew
famous apple tree. More than CEN
fury ago a settler in Canada named
Macintosh, when clearing space in
which to make home in the wilder
ness, discovered among a number of
wild apple trees one which bore fruit
so superior to the rest that he cult
waited it and named it the Macintosh
Red. The apple became famous; seeds
and cuttings were distributed to all
parts of Canada, so that now the Mac
intosh Red fiourishes wherever apples
grow in the great Dominion. In 1896
the original tree from which this enor.
nous family sprang was injured by
fire. but it continued to bear fruit
until a few years ago. Then after
115 years, it died, and the grateful
farmers have raised a marble pillar
in honor of the tree which has done
so much for the fruit-growing industry
of their land.

Immense Food Supplies for
Brave Yanks Across Seas
The. Daily Stocks in Hand

Whoever goes hungry in Europe this
winter it will not be the American
soldiers, notes correspondent. The
daily stocks in hand reported by the
uuartermaster's department of the
American expeditionary forces gives
an idea of supplies only when 1t is
remembered they represent reserves
held between daily consumption and
arrivals known to be en- route. 20
tatoes furnish a striking example. The
stock in hand at the last report was
100000 pounds, and yet the Ameri-
can forces are receiving 10000 tons
of potatoes a month, which makes 60
100000 pounds, chiefly from Ireland.
Potatoes being perishable. it would
not be wise to keep double the daily
stocks in hand. Others were as fol
lows:
Fresh beef, 100000 pounds
timed beef, 23,7OOOOO pounds; timed
bacon. 26,3OO,OOO pounds; timed sal
mon, 9,44O,OO0 pounds; flour. 10000

Middle West Farmers Assert
That "Hour-Earlier" Scheme
Makes Them Lose so Minutes

Opposition to the repetition Of the
daylight saving scheme next summer
is developing in unexpected quarters,
according to reports from the local
farm bureaus in the middle West The
farmers do not want to see the clock
turned ahead next spring. They COM
plain that the change of time makes
them lose an hours work during the
haying and wheat harvesting season
because of the heavy dews that do not
dry in time for them to start the days
work until half-past nine o'clock in
the morning.
Under the old system 1t was possible
for them to begin work in the fields
at half-past eight O'Clock, but under
the new scheme they cannot start until
an hour later. This, they say, causes
them the entire loss of an hour, be-
cause no matter at what time they
start work the hired hands insist on
quitting for the day promptly at six
o'clock in the evening. They urge that
instead of forcing them to lose this
hour during the most important sea-
son. 1t would be better for the workers
in the cities, who wish to save the hour
of daylight, to report for work an hour
early. They propose to fight a re-
enactment of the time-changing law in
congress-

First Discovery of Gold
in California Was in 1848

The first gold in California was dis
covered II years ago, on January "a,
1S4S, by jams Wilson Marshall. de
was native of New Jersey who had
gone West and settled on the site OF
Sacramento. Blasting away some
rocks to make a foundation for
building, he observed grains of what
seemed to be gold scattered about IN
the excavated earth. A test revealed
that it really was the precious metal.
Wild excitement followed the discoV-
cry, and the immortal rush OF the
''forty-niners' brought thousands OF
miners and adventurers to the golden
state. Marshall, the discoverer, did
not profit from his find and wouid
have spent his last days in poverty
except for small pension granteo
him by the state of California.

Paris, March What may be re-
garded as the official French view of
the military terms was expressed by
Capt. Tardicu, when he said to the
peace delegates: 1T is almost unani-
nous that the terms should be even
more severe than those proposed.
Capt. Tardieu said the commission on
Belgian affairs had agreed on the re-
vision of the treaty of 1899. 1t is I'M
derstood that the commission favors
the addition of Malmedy and Mores-
net ION the Belgian-Prussian border)
to Belgium. The League of Nations
covenant as it stands in the present
draft may not be formally adhered to
by the allied associated powers before
the preliminary peace is signed with
Germany. Everything to hasten peace
is the slogan of every commission and
subcommission, and rather than suffer
delays. through further deliberations
on the League of Nations the matter
may be left over until after the hos
tilities with Germany are officially
ended
All of the powers unOfficially will
adhere to the league covenant, as all
were represented and consulted dur
ing its draft and all are cognizant OF
its features. But it is realized that
all sorts of discussions of ornaments
and proposals for changes and amend
ments will be brought up when the
plenary session is asked formally to
adopt the pact.

TIPS FOR THE
POULTRY GROWER

That LAYING hens will increase Their
production if fed properly proper
toned ration has been demonstrated
in Missouri this winter. And the "a
ton costs no more than some OF the
carelessly compounded rations many
f1ocks receive. Here is the ration ex-
pressed in quantities sufficient to feed
100 hens one day:
Scratch Feed-Ten pounds shelled
corn or kaffir and 5 pounds thrashed
oats or barley. Feed in deep litter
morning and evening.
Dry Mash-Three pounds bran or j
pounds cornmeal, pounds shorts or
8 pounds ground oats, and IA pounds
beefscrap or pound tankage. Three
gallons of milk may be substituted Tor
the beefscrap or tankage. Keep TINS
mash before the birds at all times.
In addition to this feed, supply green
feed in some form, plenty Of fresh
water and grit and shell.
The use of the foregoing ration mas
been advocated by the extension serv'
ice of the University of Missouri col
lege of agriculture.
Ten communities have reported re-
suits for 80 days which shows per-
centage increase Of 173. This means
that all communities reporting are re-
ceiving double return in number OF
eggs laid, and one community reports
that the yield has been increased sew
en-fold. This is conclusive evidence
that the ration is practical, and that
laying hen, well fed, will respond to
good feed
