p ., ANOTHER. JUBILEE (t)

'~

Late in the afternoon of April _fl;d, (i010), the “anchor was Ifllhed" and we began to move seaward. All drew to the rail to

t c. last glimpse of Aibions shores,

t‘ there was none of the tradi-

al waving of handkerchiefs, for

lone but strangers witnessed our,

leparture. There was Just one out-

rst of sentiment; a bold spirit.

f way up the shrouds, called out a”"gag" very much in vogue at that period. “Are we down-heart- Dd?" To which a stentorian “Nol" puma from nearly six hundred throats. The whole thing was I. novelty and we had not yet seen the serious side.

Presently the ship's bell rang for item" and we all trooped below. The “weather was fine and the Irish Sea sheltered. so we enjoyed our first

“meal on shipboard with hearty ap-

tmtities. It should be sad that the ‘fang was good, some knd of meat

l-being served at every meal, with “E1565, jams, and "cookies" galore.

ere was quite a number of stew- grds and it W35 a sight to see them

most as if they “i338 doing some conjuring act. It now transpired that the band

' of exiles was divided into the “clas-

ses and the massesz” in other words into first and second class passeng- ers." Th9 former were few in num- ber, and ver| exclusive: and they occupied what might be (termed rifle-rooms on the upper deck. Thny

. dined with the Captain, and were

in consequence more "uppity" than the occasion warranted. The second ulna: passengers were confined to what would now be called the steel-age, but they were a. very lup- rrior crowd for all that; many of them had a good supply of the root of all evil, and better still, knew

, how to take care of it. All boats at

that time had s. lbw card sharps on board, who simply went backwards and forwards across the Atlantic. looking _for "easy marks." To the credit of our crowd I noticed that these gentry were left to entertain themselves most of the time. Otir little band now had leisum to get acquainted, and it appeared that most of them came from the south- ern counties and especially from Devonshire. There were some sub- stantial fanners among them; and others who like myself. knew more of the theory than the practice.

By next morning we had passed the North Channel, and were creep- ing westward along the north coast of Ireland, which could Just be dis- mrned in the distance. Here the long swell of the Atlantic began to tell upon our voyagers. Some of them did not care for their break- fasts as they should, and long be- fore midday were very sick indeed. Others seemed to succumb only when they sat down to the midday rmai, and made a rush for the stairs leading to the deck. Mostly they did not get up before the cat- astrophe occurred, and during the first two days the condition of our quarters was woeful! I had been on trips to sea before, and was pleased to relect that I had never been af- fected in this way. l noticed that the young hopeful of the family had no trouble, while the other

members were very. very ink. Why is it that some am immune ioeca- sickness and other: cannot escape it I have mad somewhere that Lord Nelson, Britain's naval hero. never put to so. withouthaving an attack of mal-de-mer.

The North Atlantic may be pleas- ant in summer; I clunot say- 1i W" certainly an unpleasant place in Aprl 1910. It was rough or stormy almost-every dayyand this accounts for the general verdict of "rotten!" when the newspaper man in Char- lottetown asked what the Wyufl was like. ~

SUNSPOTS ACTIVE

The observatory‘ at Potsdam. Gcr- many. has observed a group 0f sunspots somewhere about 40,000 miles long, on the lower left edge of the su_n. These maculae "repre- sent a cyclone of powerful dimen- slons which has suddenly appeared on the sun and now is movinz 111 the upper gas stratum. sendiu: great waves of electrical tension in- to space." Such a state of affairs is reflected in the disturbed stain of terrestrial weather. Accounts from regions as far apart as Brazil and Britain report storms of rain. wind and thunder, and bad storms at that. With us cold winds and cloudy weather have prevailed for tit: past month.

Sunspots are both a cause and an effect. There must have been a great stress on the luminous surface of the sun to produce the cyclones before mentioned. and we are led to ask what causes the stress? The position of the planets gives the answer. Jupiter, the giant of our system, Ls now in opposition to the sun. Venus has just posed con- junction with the sun. There an‘ thus four celestial bodies in a line:

iter. The moon makes a fifth com!!- times. as on April 5th. and May 5th, the latter date giving the oc- cultatiori of Venus. The gravitat- ional strain has produced ‘ ‘

heavy earthquakes places, extending over a period of a month. The last occurred in Mont- serrat, just-after the occultaticn. That island was just recovering

1934. and May 14th of tine same year.

The clouds in the atmosphere of Jupiter give tokens of disturbance cometmes, says the astronomers. Do these cyclones on Jupiter coin.- cide with those on the sun? Logi- caily the planet, as a. member of the line-up. comes under the in- fluence o: the other four; Just as the sun does. .

April 21st, the date of the For- mosan earthquake. was sigmlzsed in Britan by death and damage in heavy thunderstorms. As it was Easter Sunday there were many holiday-makers motoring among the dales. The morning was fair and the sea-side and inland rworts were crowded. 1n the afternoon tin storm of wind, rain and lizhtnng broke. and lasted far into the night. A Newcastle church was struck dull!!! B- uhlldreifs service but only property damsel: was done. 0n the Easter Saturday in Yorkshire as a. famier and his daughter were grading egas in a cabin, a bolt of lightning killed the father, and burnt the girl so that she was taken

times as a means of having a. day’! frolic. England is divided into pu- ishes much as our Island is divrled into school districts, but the divis- on is’ ecclesiastical rather than scholastic. 1n olden times the par- ish was governed by the Church of England ."prflzst"—styled “parser? in the southern counties-and the squire, assisted by the churchward- ens and other notables. Each par- ish was obliged by custom to look after its poor, to investigate and pun'sh minor crimes, and to per- form other functioru of a. small local "parliament." (That day has of course long gone by.) The exact boundaries of a parish were most important, since one parish might be ‘lightly, and its neighbour heav- ily, taxed. 1n order to keep the boundaries in mind all the big- wigs 01 the parish took a day off and perambulated them. This was not enough: in order to impnvas the limits on the younger generation, the notables took with them a num- ber of boys, often choir boys. Some of the party carried willow wands, and onrloaching a strategic pont

in the boundary, it was the custom in some parishes to beat the boy This method ensured a remembrance that would not easily fade away. The day usually closed with a din- ner atthe village inn.

1n my day elected Pal-sh Coun- cils superceded the old autocratic rule. and beating the bounds fell through. The Surveyor to the Coun- cil took charge of the boundaries and delineated them on a stand-

m mung“ i ard map. A‘ farm-house that I used

to visit at, had been built on the boundary of two parishes by some- body who did not know It. On one side of the firpplace me was in Billion parish and on the other tn Tanfield parish; the farmer paid taxes to both. Approximately the farm was called Fondley Bett: which may be interpreted as "fool- ishly placed." All our farm's had names. some of which were de- lightfully quaint.

PIGS IN HARNESS

An old country correspondent sends me a. report of a lecture on “Swine Problems.” The young pigs

'I'lle second system is ent rely new to mp: "the tethering of the aow by homes and chain.” And the lecture;- clinched the matter by saying that the latter method is considered the most successful.

this 0min: than usual or the ranchers are, having more troubb with worm; affecting their foul, the writer cannot W; but certain- lywedohearaplotabout the subject. For meral years we went along in a. ucqfleasy-‘going way. givinrone does of worm medicine, to the. pups when they bud arrived‘ at $130 38 days of age and then letting nature takeits course. that‘ is supplying good- food, etc. Then along about 192i" there was an epi- dclnic of noorwormlihioughout the province and Dr. J. A. Allen, Dom- mion Vefcrinkry yatbologlrt was called in to tackle‘ _tlic situation and he did so in a. very competent manner. - ‘ |

As m. Allen gin‘ out at the time, treatment wvlthworm medi- c'nes must go hand hr hand with proper sanitation. Most of us think that we have carried out a very good program of sanitation if we clean bur dens twice a yflol- W¢ will venture to say that in 90 per cent. of the ranches the dens an not cleaned out from late fall until spring after the pup; have been born and removed from the dens.

The result is that a. large aulount of dirt litters the den and house and provides a proper place for the development of worm was. The fe-l‘ "male drags feed over this contam- inated debris and the eggs find their way into her stomach. With the arrival of the pups there an plenty eggs hatched out and prob- ably the females teats are also cov- ered with them so that the first suck the pup gets he takes worm eggs in with it. Some of these eggs attack the liver and other organs and do ‘rreparable damage.

The parent foxes may not suffer very heavily from worms. but even a few in their intutines may give rise to hundred; of worms because the females lay thousands of eggs throughout their life time each of which is a wormpin the making.

There has been much dscusaloa as to whether pups are infested with worms beforevbirth. that is to say whether the blood stream from the female carries the worm on; to, the growing ‘puppy in the em- byro. Leading autborftks do not believe that to be the case but are of the opinion that the "puwy is waited through ‘water or food or

‘Tittle t! no, question that every fBlWh-lflubhll. vince is having more or less trouble (through worms, round Worms orliookwzrms. and jute-matter la llflblil enouglrwiba sthe subject of considers“ thought. Th} season in our own ranch we have found late litters more aus- ceptihle or sufferin; more from worms than the earlier litters. This may be due to the flot that the sanitary conditions of the pens have not been» so good for the later Jitters. or the mow wlfcb existed when the early litters were born was more or less of a dilmfecting agent aided by the cold which perhaps prevented the development of tip: worm eggs.

Certain it is thatwhen another year comes around we are going to clean out our dens as nea_r to the _ whelping period as we can safely’ do so. Of course the clearfrig can- , not be as thorough at that scum of the year as it would be in the summer time. but much can be ac- ccmplished.

but fall we mentioned the value that was being placed on salt u a. disinfectant and preventative of hookwornl in, the mines of South Africa," The practice is to wash all the woodwork, stall-ways, etc, that the natives travel over. with a salt solution, frequently, and also treat the ground with it. Remark- able results‘ have been acheved. we,‘ ourselves, have put it into practice this spring and hope that the same happy results will follow its use in our ranch.

Incaseyouthinkweareltreu- ing th‘a~ problem too much we would like to tell you of a conver- sation ~that took place in our office last evening. A well known rancher who has gone to o. lot of expense and" invested good money in high claas-broeding-stock has had very unsatisfactory production the put two or three years.

Pups that looked as though they would develop into show foxes or near show foxes in August, Ln Oc- tober had changed to some resemb- lance to Bampoons. Certain litters in certain compartments seemed not to be affected as much as others. The appcti was ravenous, another symptom of hookworm trouble. Var- ious explanations were figured out as to the cause of’ the trouble. but finally the use of the microscope settled the matter and all the pupa were found to ‘be-suflrring , with hcokworm and a considerable num- ber wthlungwonn.
