The St. Catherlnes Standard (quoted in The Guardian, Sept. 2nd), says thet 30.000 pheasants are to be turned loose in Ontario this summer. end further states that this will be "a good thing because these birds are enormous weed eeters." The reference ls evidently to weed seeds.

I have here s bulletin published by the U. S. Biological Survey and entitled "The Common Game, Aquatic, and Rapaclous Birds in relation to Man." When it talks oi the large scale efforts being made to establish pheasants in some oi the States, it is natur- ally very cautious. “Severe criti- cism of pheasants and fulsomc praise are about equal in vol- ume." is somewhat non-commit- tal. Farmers (it was said) com- plained that the birds dug up seeds of newly planted end sprouting corn, oats, barley, and beans and seeds of melons, cu- cumbers, and squash. It was claimed that because of their de- predetions it has been necessary to replant whole fields of corn. They were said to drive chickens away from their feed and even to kill young poultry. some land- owners in Ontario County, N.Y., calculated that the loss they suf- account oi pheasants ‘was more than twice the amount 1o! their taxes.

Much depends on the proportion

of lend under cultivation, the llslnd of crops raised and the ‘quantity of wild fruit available. iApparently the chances are about

even that imported pheasants will or will not become useful econ- cmic factors." Among our commoner house- _iplants are the Scented-leaf Ger- ,aniums, which are really Pelar- goniums. The commonest is P. Jlliclfolium, whose leaves - as its name indicates - resemble those of a fern inasmuch as they arc incised and cut up. The scent hes been likened to that of roses and ‘it seems to have a strong appeal to most people. I have here the variegated form whose leaves are i margined white-a neat plant with a slightly different scent. 1 have also a peppermint-scented spe- cies, P. querpifolium, translated the Oak-leaved Scented Geran- ium. The whcle plant is covered with short greenish white hairs and the leaves are lobed, not div- ided. It is a soft-textured spe- cies, does not like the direct South sunlight, and if you pinch the leaf, it dries up. The scent appears to reside in the hairs and one does less harm to the plant by rubbing the stem for the scent. Docs any reader know of other "scented gerenlurns?”

I have also two bicolor, and one tricolor, geraniums. The hardiest of these iscalled "Happy Thought." The leaf has a yellow centre and a green edge: the yellow often

tune, be it never so good; i.e., by- putting it to words it was not‘ "built" for.

1n the year 1860 William Whit. ing, under very strong incite- ment, we may suppose, wrote the verses‘beglnning "Eternal Father. strong to Save". as an earnest supplication for those travelling by sea. The following year Dr. Dykee, of Durham, England, sew the verses and straightway com- posed the tune Melite. In our Parish Church this hymn was sung on the approach oi bad! weather. It became a favorite; hymn with the British fleet, and even with that of the French! And i have heard that it was strange experience to listen to‘ the sailors‘ voices ascending into‘ the vast silent sky. What do we find in the hymnals? Melita, sol surely adapted w Whitlng's words.l is accommodated with three other; sets of verses in one book, and! one set extra in another. The object (one gathers from the pro-- face) is to save the singers from the toil of learning new tunesi Nevertheless there is a great deal to be said for the practice of keeping the appropriate tune to its traditional words. There now comes to mind. the practice of re-settlng (or re- herrnonizing) of hymn-tunes, by the great masters oi music. l-lass- ier, about the year 160i, wrote the tune now ‘known as the Passion Chorale. Less than 100 years later J. S. Bach saw the tune end recognized its possibilities. l-le re-harmonlzed it, (more than once according to the hymnals). and today no collection of sacred mu- sic is complete without it, But the lesser lights of music would do well to leave well alone. Dr. J. B. Dykess "St. Oswald, Dur- ham" was written for the words “Through the night of doubt end sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim ban "—and the composer achiev- ed a striking tune by the simplest means. The original harmony—| the tune Dykes actually wrote-is No. 186 in one hymnal: and tol point out but one feature, the marching of the band of brothers, is heard in the monotone that be- gins the bass. Now, in the some hynmai, turn to No. sss, which also has a 5t. Oswald, Durham, but with a harmony that Dr. Dykes did not write! Another hymnal also uses the tune twice but the harmony is not Dykersl though his name appears as com- poser. Hymns merit especial study, for singing is the only sct oi pub- lic worship in which the layman can take an active part. In e northern village there was a. legend that Samuel Wesley, pro- lific writer of hymns, was ob- served listening at the tavern door, to the singing going on in- side. On being asked the reason he replied "I’m seeking ideas for new hymns. It seems a pity to leave the beet tunes to the devil!" I thought of that story lest Christmas. when over the air came a carol, "While Shepherds ws.t.ch'd their flocks by nlght"—sung to the roystering tune of "the Vicar of Brayl"

Cleanliness of ranch is import- ent, perhaps more so in the next couple of months than very early in the yeer_ for the reason that the high protein content oi the food causes s lot of ammonia to be present in the excrete and drop- pings therefore should be» cleared away at least once s week. ,it is gOOd practice and one which we have found very labor-saving, to place a light scattering of hay just below the portion of the compart-

Fully i5 Per cent of the kits died before remedial treatment took effect. Fltbllly it we! checked end the let. "Y- "Perte from the district ere that only a few are dying now.

Coccidiosis is not so common now in our fox ranohe es lt was at one time when we ed board floor bottoms. It can, however, easily get a foodisold in e ran-on and be- come quite a danger if cleanliness and other conditions are absent, particularly disinfection of uten- sils and the ground underneath the wire bottoms. Lime. end in bed cases s flregun, are one of the most effective treatments for the ground. The use of buttermilk end buttermilk powder has been found by breeders of fcwls in California te be one of the meet effective preventetiveg and there are rem- edlee such as phencthyasine that can be unployea with greet suc- cess.

It is likely with the mink breed- ers in Thunder Bay felled to note w-hat the disease was end prob- ably treated lt for something else. However, it can be easily recog- nized under the microscope - if a bit of the droppings of e. fox is taken, pieced in a test. tube and warm water poured in and the test tube meken for s few minutes and a few dro oi the liquid placed page, |l do, the microscope 'will~ show up the coceidiosis worm eggs if they are present.

While we ere on the subject of worm infestations we think it would be the pert of wisdom for ell fox ranchers to dose their pups with 16 minim Nome capsules within the next couple of weeks. ft is more thin likely that some oi them are harboring worms, either round worms er heokworms end Lf ee treatment will mean e much inf. proved pelt or i0: if the fox is to be kept. If you decide to use the capsules it is best to give e light feed the evening before and don't put water in the utensils for the day. Dose in the deeming. dlseen- tinuing around eleven o'clock. in the afternoon you can fill the water dishes and make the even- in; feed e light one. With these precautions there should be no danger and no ill effects from the treatment.

Of course you wilhhave to be careful when administering the capsules to see that they pass down the tleroet end don't lodge in the windplpe. Hold the fox by the hind legs for some seconds and note if there ie any distress. if so pick him up egeln and gently press the capsule up out of the windpipe with thunis end forefinger. You can then eiininisflr it again. In giving the capsules we find it makes them tilde down easier by placing some olive oil or cotton seed oil or if these are not available. lin- seed oil. in e end stir the cep- sulesln iteo tth heveeslight coetiu of the lie .
