HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tionaI Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and Grain, Won Admiration of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the most interesting sights
at the international Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
OF horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section of these parades came in
TO view, and as it passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that in
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales. the Belgians and the Per-
cherOns that had carried off champion
ships and first prizes. The province
OF Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play of Clydesdales and showed in a
number OF classes, and in every class
they got in the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that of the
University of Saskatchewan, showing
Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
a class of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
of Wilkesbarre, p. L. James of EaStOn,
Mass, and George Chiett of the same
state. She was beaten by an imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
conferred upon anything but an i'm
ported animal.
The following are some of the good
things that Canada won at the Inter
national, in a fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for SOuthdOwn sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the ap-
plause given the Canadian sections OF
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled it to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the win
ner and the hundreds of Canadians in
the immense audience of the amphi
theater appreciated it.
The purpose that Canada had in
making exhibits from their farms
whether it was of live stock-and they
had it there in all branches-grains
grasses or roots, was TO demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta-
ton. that the country was alive with
interest in tire matter of production
and that it had ability to produce in a
manner that would bring it champion
ships, and what better place than the
International, where it would be placed
before thousands, many of whom, with
the enlightenment 'thus gained and
with q desire TO better their condition
would be made to realize that in the
neighbOring country to the north there
was an opportunity that it might be
of advantage to them to embrace

SELECTING FOOD BY oDoR
Observations of Naturalist Seem to
Show That Insects Are Attracted
by Certain Scents.

There is much in the behavior Of
certain species OF insects" says Doe
tor Bones in the American Naturalist.
ito suggest that fOOd-plants are select
ed on the basis of OdOr by the parent
female and also accepted on the same
basis by the larvae. Experiments with
cabbage butterflies show that
these insects are attracted by the mus
tard oils present in these plants, and
it has also been shown that caterpil-
lars will feed on other plants which
have been treated with one of these
oils The distaste of mosquitoes for
oil of citronella is well known, as is
also the attractiveness of this same
substance for fruit-flies of the genus
Dacus. Very recently McIn-
doc has published some observations
showing that caterpillars readily re-
act to the OdOrs of several essential
oils and 10 those Of various plants.
This. taken together with the fact that
PIeris viii feed upon strange plants
treated with mustard oil, would sug-
geSt that OdOr Is an important factor
in the selection of fOod-plants"
