 Fortunately, there is an ample sup ply of choice beavers obtainable, so that no one will be able to corner a market on the best breeding stock and run prices to an unreasonable figure. The industry of raising beaver fur should be well adapted to large as well as small tracts of suitable country, and its greatest value promises to be in the development of immense areas of north country now considered almost worthless. Burned over and cut over timber lands usually carry the best growth for beaver feed, and while pay ing a profit in fur these areas can be slowly reforested with valuable timber.

Converting Coal
 Into Gasoline

A N account of the discovery of "A process for producing gasoline from coal was recently given by pr. Friedrich Bergius to the Birmingham University Mining Society and re- ported in the Scientific American. It was stated that experiments with this process have been successful at Mann helm, Germany, where plant with a capacity of sixty tons per day has been installed. The conversion Of coal into petroleum is said to be achieved by introducing hydrogen into the coal. thus completely changing it's chemical character and converting about 90 per cent. of it into liquid similar to fuel oil This oil by another process is then transformed into light oils (20 per cent. by volume of the fuel oil treated), gas oiine GAO per cent.) and Diesel engine oil (40 per cent.).

 Beavers begin to breed when only year old, and when two years old are practically fully developed. Four Is the usual number in litter. but there are records of six and a few of eight. While reproduction is less rapid than in. most rodents. the beavers have few ene- mics except man, and are extremely healthy and hardy, go that actual in- crease under favorable circumstances Is rapid.
 The key to success in beaver culture. however, is going to be selection and considerably more than trappers' prices. Very long and almost black beaver fur comes nearer in general appearance to sea otter fur. the most valuable fur in the world. than any other fur known.

Playing Safe"
 With Canned F oods

THE ravages of one of the deadliest A germs, the bacillus botuhnus." are often to be traced directly to tho food which we get out of sealed tin cans and bottles.
 The American Gamers Association, says . writer in Hygeia, has spent large sums of money in investiga ting the causation of this disease and in ascertaining the distribution of tho spores. These investigations have re- suited in improved methods in collect ing the fruits, their transportation to the factories, and in methods of sterili- zation. We may reasonably expect that within few years botulism will cease to occur. In the mean time. how ever, it behooves every one who serves canned foods of any kind to be on the lookout for swollen cans, for sus- picious odors on opening the can and other evidences of deterioration. It should be clearly under erstood tbat it is not safe to taste even the smallest amount of food containing the botulism poison. The eating of a single bean from an infected can has caused death.
 pr. Charles Thom, United States Bureau of Chemistry, publishes in the American Food Journal for November, 1922, these directions for the consum- CT of canned foods:
 When buying:
 In tin
 l. Both ends should be fat or curve slightly inward. Neither end should bulge, snap back when pressed or feel loose. Make no exceptions.
 2. All seams should be tight and clean, with no trace of leaks.
 In glass
 1. The cover should be firm-flat or concave. with seam. collar band and label clean and free from all signs of leak
 2. The contents should appear free from mould. disintegration. cloudiness or other abnornality and show no dis coloration.
 Accept only cans in first-class con- dition.
 When opened
 Suction inward Is highly desirable.
 No outrush of gas or spurt of liquid should occur.
 The odor. observed immediately, should be characteristic of the product.
 No trace Of foreign or objectionable odor should be present
 No disintegration. no mould or other abnormal appearance should be ob- served.
 Liquid enough to cover the food is desirable in most products.
 The inside of the can should be clean and bright, or well lacquered not ex- tensively blackened or markedly cor roded
 If you know It is spoiled. destroy it.
 If after examining it you can't tell, add half the volume of boiling water and boil thoroughly.

n medal play is it possible for

In medal play the ball must be
holed out on every green.
If in a medal round, if no scor-
ers have been provided by the
committee in charge of the tour
nament, how should the scorers be
kept in order to insure accuracy?
If no scorers are provided, as is
often the case; you should keep
the score Of your competitor and
he should keep yours. After ev-
cry hole you should compare
scores with him.
If your opponents ball strik-
cs yours through the green or in

er procedure?

but this must be done before eth.
