THE late Sir William Van Horne, builder
and president of the Canadian Pacific
Railway and one of the most astounding gen.
fuses this continent ever produced-of whom
it was once said that he knew every Siwash
and Chinese among the ten thousand who
helped him build the road and could call each
one by name--once considered the possibility
of developing Hudson Bay tobacco industry.
The magnate had several boxes of cigars made
from Hudson Bay tobacco in his Montreal
library. He used to give them to reporters
when he did not wish to be interviewed.
Those cigars were rank beyond descrip-
ton. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, then plain
Tom Shaughnessy, superintendent Of the
Western Division, said to have sponsored
the tobacco project. Van Horne and Shaugh-
messy, their intimates declared, were always
at war in playful way.
Sir Edwin Arnold, author Of "The Light Of
Asa,' route from Japan to England, was
visiting the Van Hornes at the period re-
ferred to-, and reporters had called to inter
view the poet The railroad magnate had
already provided his guest with Hudson
Bay cigar something less than eight inches
long and black q crows wing. Upon this
the distinguished Britisher was putting assid-
uously, albeit with astounded expression OF
countenance. The library reeked with acrid
fumes even before Van Horne handed the
box to four newspaper men, all of whom felt
in duty bound to light up. Less than lin
ute later the apartment became uninhabita-
bic by any one save Swash or an Esqui-
mau.
Sir Edwin after some deliberation removed
the cigar from his lips, rolled it gingerly be-
tween his fingers moment and inquired:
where did you say this tobacco is grown?"

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in sistine Chapel
Commemorating the Death and
Resurrection of Christ.

At the office Of the Miserere, which
is sung in the Sistine chapel at Rome
on Wednesday of Holy week, a cere-
mOny takes place in which a triangular
candlestick, upon which are Is can
dies, corresponding to the number of
psalms recited, is placed at the epistle
side of the altar.
After each psalm, one of the candles
Is extinguished by a master of cere-
monies and after the benedictus the
candle on the top is alone not extin-
guished, but is removed and concealed
behind the altar and not brought out
until the end of the service. While the
canticle is sung the six candles on the
altar are eXtinguished as we'll as those
above the rails.
The custom of concealing the last
and most elevated candle and bringing
it forward burning at the end of the
service, is an allusiOn to the death and
resurrection of Christ. In the same
manner the other candles extinguished
one after the other may represent the
prophets who were successfully put to
death before the crucifxiOn of their
Lord.

PUREBRED SIRE
ON EVERY FARM
There Is No Longer Any Place for
Inferior Bull in Any AmerI-
can Herd.
fine PROFIT FOR PRODUCER
Steers Sired by Purebred Bulls Bring
Top Prices at Chicago and Omaha
Markets on Account Of Good
Quality and Size.
By FRANK D. ToMsON.)

Whenever the producer Of scrub or
inferior stock comes into competition
with the producer of purebred or
high grade stock he loses. Every day
at every beef market the lesson Of
good breeding is taught and the man
who has stayed with the scrub bull
pays a high tuition for his schooling.
There is no longer any place for the
inferior bull on the American farm.
The prevailing costs are prohibitive.
On the other hand the prospects for
the producer Of the higher standards
Of both beef and dairy cattle were nev-
er SO bright.
Many a load Of steers has been sold
during the past year on the several
leading markets for $3.50 to 1924 per
head. 1t is easy to see that the pro-
ducers of such steers had a fine profit
coming if they carried them through to
the marketing date. 1t is certain that
no matter when they disposed of them
they We're assured of a profit for it is
such that attract the feeder. 1t will
be understood that good breeding and
good feeding were the basis Of these
high prices. The steers were by pure
bred sires and their dams in many
cases were by purebred sires.
Purebred Sire Responsible.
It is a long list of shipments that
have gone from the feedlots Of Iowa,
Dakota, Kansas, Missouri,
Wisconsin, Kentucky, Indiana
and other states and brought their
owners around $500 per head. But the
purebred sire was back Of each ship
ment and was the primary cause Of the
lucrative prices. Out in Montana a
ranchman decided to use purebred
bulls on his range cows and
when two carloads of the steers by
them went to the Chicago market they
carried two important things-extra
weight and quality. They attracted
the buyers and sold for $19 per hun
dredweight, the record for rangebred |
steers. Another well-known ranchman

The big robberies of jewelry In the

criminal. The thieves may have been
local men. but the probability is that
they were impOrtatiOns from England

world is their hunting ground. A few

Of people who carefully guard their
pennies that men are to be found who
will hand over thousands of dollars to

when too late that they have been

GIVE CHICKENS FREE RANGE
1@7 u.
Growing Fowls Are Enabled to Obtain
Quantities Of Bugs, Worms,
Green Feed, Etc.

When the garden crops have reached
maturity or are far enough developed
to suffer little damage from chickens
the flock should be given free range.
There are times in late summer and
early fall when the benefit received
by the poultry will exceed the slight
injury some garden products may in
cur.
Free range enables growing chick
ems to obtain quantities of green feed,
bugs, worms and other things. The
chickens therefore require less grain
and are less liable to sickness or dis
ease. Exercise and ability to range
for even a few hours a day is bene-
fetal to a flock that has been kept
in confinement during spring and early
summer.

oils, hydr0carbOn oils, creosOte Oil,
carbon disulphid, wOod-tar dlstillate,

In these experiments the rOosts and
dropping boards or the whole interior
of the house were thoroughly painted
or sprayed just before the fowls went
to rOOst, and all doors, windows, and
ventilatOrs were closed during the first
night. Five badly infested fowls were
used in each test, and at the end of
one week examination was made for
living lice. Although an occasional
dead louise was found on the dropping
boards, in no case was the treatment
of any practical value. Since many
of these preparations were found to
be effective when used as fumigants
in small boxes, it is apparent that the
ineffectiveness Of house treatment is
due to the fact that the fumes do not
become concentrated enough to kill the
lice. Tests were also made with lime
sulphur applied in the same way; this
also was found to be Of no value.

There have been many advocates Of
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the rOosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior Of
the poultry house with various oil mix
lures, the idea being that the vapOrs
or gases arising from these points
penetrate the feathers Of the rOOsting
fowls and kill the lice. This method
has been given a very extensive trial
by specialists Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, and not one
of the 42 different preparations tested
was found to be of any value. These

Two well-known feeders in Wiscon-

Most Useful Movement.
There Is now spreading over this
country a movement to place purebred
sires on the farms In the place Of the
grade or scrub slres now in use. It is
one Of the most useful movements ever
undertaken. Particularly in Wisconsin
is the movement being actively pushed.
The results so far are very assuring

success in the distribution Of the pure

CONTROL OF LICE AND MITES
Dust Bath Will Aid Materially, but
Should Not Be Depended
Upon Entirely.

While it is well to provide a good
dust bath for chickens, it cannot be
depended upon for louise and mite
control, say specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture. It
is far better to eradicate the pests
completely. The main difficulty about
depending upon dust baths is that
some fowls seldom dust themselves,
and those which dust freely never
completely free themselves Of ice. The
dust bath should be kept under cover
and may consist Of fine road dust with
coal ashes added.

When Matching duck eggs under

empty shells telescope over eggs just

Firs. steel Engraving.

Frenchmen, Italians and Germans all
claim the honor of having invented the
art Of engraving. Certain it is that
BOwdier of Paris was the first to turn
out credltable engravings on glass in
ITO. But as early as l46O the Italian
Masso Finiguerra exhibited engravings
on copper. Duerer, In Germany (13l7-
1929. and Lucas Van Leyden, in Hol-
land (1487), made tremendous strides
In wood engraving. but II remained for
America to invent steel engraving.
About 1914 Messrs. Perkins and
Heath Of. Philadelphia introduced the
process OF engraving on soft steel,
hardened afterward.
The Mezzotint process Is a German
invention. Col. Won SIegen, in 1643,
produced the first really artistic work
of this description in a portrait Of
Princess Amelia of Hessen.
