The seventh book of this veraci- ous hlstony is taken up with the prophecies of Merlin. and it would take somebody as wise as Merlin to make anything or them. Here is, a. specimen; “Thereafter (saysi Merlin) from the first 11m» the‘ fourth. from the fourth unto the‘ third. from the third unto this second. shall the thumb b1- rolled in oil." It is inferred that "Merlin" knew of the coronation ceremony where the archbishop rolls his thumb in the unguent prcvlous to 1111011111112 the King. and um the reference is to the early Norman K1088. "The first" is William the Cmlqueror. and William Rufus is the “fourth? because his elder brother Robert and his two sons were still alive. all of whom should have inherited before Rufus. From the “fourth” the succession passes to the "third," Henry I, at whose accession Robert, and one son of Robert, were still alive. From the "third" it passes to the "second." t0 wit.

A FUPIL TEACHER.

The crown of the whole school year was Examination Day. Some time before the Clerk to the Board‘ had received notice that the Gov- ernment Inspector would visit the school on an appointed day; and as the Inspector's report influenced the amount of the "Government. Grant" from the public taxes, all was to be done to give him a. favor- able unuression. When he arrived the children were on their good behavior, and were dressed in their

“Sunday best." The Inspector would come into the class room, listen to the instruction given, for the space of ten minubes or so. then he would

take the class himself and ask them questions from tlle ivhoic runse of subjects taught. Then.

with scarcely a word to the pupil-

teacher, he would be away to the‘ nexv. class room. Any criticism o1

teacher or method was made to the

Headmaster, who saw to it. in due

course.

Our examination took place in, the morning. so the school was‘ "kept in” till one p. m., then dis- missed for the day. The last hour‘ was a severe strain on the dis-l clpllne. and it was no joke to kCPir 30 or 40 children quiet an hour after their regular mealtime. In. the mean/time a proper banquet‘ roast chicken. wine. etc. had been sent up from the village inn. anril set out in the Board Roomﬂand at‘ the "first table" the Inspector, Muster, Mistress. and Clerk to thc Board, no doubt did f11ll justice. This hospitality was, of course, to clinch the favorable impression. When the Inspector drove away,‘ the Clerk invited the Assistanti Muster and the four P. T's, in what, was lcft of the feast. and it cer-i tainly was a pic-nic! It is sad to‘ reflect that he who wriics is thc only one left of that merry party.

When the Act of 1870 throw iho ocst of the education upon lhr public taxes. ii: was not known jusi how much that was going i0 be. It was the old custom that cnch scholar should take his "school- money" according to his grade; a penny, or "tuppence" for the lower Standards up to fourpcnco for the seniors. This custom was thcrcforc retained, for the time being, in the higher Gtandards taught by the Head and the Assistant Masters. and the money was banked once a month. It urns the job of the mnle P, T's to walk to the Bank four mile, away. deposit the money and walk back. This they did alic-r- nately, each taking the othoris class. besides his own, when hc stayed at school. ‘Ihart was another test of his disciplinary powers.

One of the Best Blue Flower!

We have an excellent blue in the Chinese forget-me-not. 0301031055111" lmnbiie. listed as a biennial bu! blooming as an annual from sowiml early outdoors. It has deel) 811d m"

tense blue ﬂower cluste up“! pro- duced in great profusion, mak’ng a brilliant patch in the garden as well as a ﬁne subject for cutting. v

It much resembles the Anchusa Itallca, a favorite in the perennial border for its intense blue. but of lower growth and has much fine iloliage. This is a real addition to the blue annuals.

An old standby is the bachelor button or centuurea cyanus which has fringed blue ﬂowers produced in great produsfon with good stems for cutting.

The annual larkspurs give some fine blues although all have more or less purple in them. They are one of the most valuable of the annuals. They must be sown where they are to bloom and ther be thinned as they are difficult to transplant.

Another beautiful blue annual not enough used is the browailiu. It has intense blue flowers freely produced and is easily grown. Although this is an excellent garden annual it is more frequently seen as a. pot plant.

The rich blue spikes of the annual lupins with their pea-shaped blooms add to the list of handsome blue an- nuals for the blue portion of the border, and for the edges there are the gorgeous depths of the lobelius and the velvet of the blue-toned pansies. The blue section of the bor- der needs the planting of groups of pinks. pale yellow and white, to give the blues their best effects and to avoid I monotony.

The blue-toned ten-weeks stocks anri asters give solidity to the blue border and have their own pinks, whites and creams by way of har- mony. The biue portion of the an- nal border is most effective i.f in part al shade, All these annuals may be easily raised from seed planted in an outdoor seedbed when ‘ the soil is workable, or directly i where they are to grow.

ChenliliEzilWeed Control On R a i l w a y s

The problem of weed control on railways is as old as the railways themselves, and in many ways is as acute today as it ivas in the be- ginning. No method yet devised produces permanent results, but must be repeated in part at least, year after year. and with some methods several times in a 58118011-

Wl1y is weed control necessary? A few years ago a leading rnilwﬂd publication circularizeo u number of railroad officials representing every section of’ Canada and the United States. and received replies --11111 a4 roads nggrecaiins 1001000 Lilies of line. The following ls a cnilfllllflfy of the reasons, although their numerical order is not neces- surily the order of importance giv- cn by the reporting officials.

Until comparatively recent years

weed crud cation was a hand oper- ation which was done by the P11111- iiive meihod of pulling or by ShOY- vis and hoes. This method Qives only temporary results, and, in fact, must usualy bc repeated two or thrcc tunes a. season to keBP 0110 track clean. It is difficult w ar- rive at the cost of hand weeding but it is reasonably safe to any will it is at least $60.00 t0 $10000 B- mile per unnum. This, 0f course. 15 b11506 on the nssumutipn that, the track is maintained in clean condition.

Wiihin more recent years of rail- roazi history other methods of weed control have been introduced with varying degrees of success. Weed burners have been tried by several roads. Other methods are steaming, discing, harrowing and mowing. All these w.li give temporary clean track but have no permanent effect, in that, except in the case of shal- low rooted annual weeds, the deep roofs of the more resistant varieties are not destroyed and soon pro- duce new weeds.

Tl1c use of chemicals for the de- struction of weeds is a comparative- ly recent railroad practice in Can- ada. mid, in fact, it is only Wllhlh Lhc lust icn years that this methor. h-is boon generally adopted. Many chemicals will kill vegetation but their use is Prohibited on account of various factors such as excessive cost, scarcity 0f ﬂllPPly- Win05“! action on meiul, danger of fire or axplosion, and poisonous effect up- on livestock and animal life 861191‘- ally.

Until 1928 the only chemical used to any extent by American railways was a caustic solufon oi Arsenic. This mct nll conditions except one. The raw maferials were cheap and easily procured, ll- “118 n°"'°0"°‘ 31v,‘ “mi i; presented no fire haz- gyg-l-BUZP-it is extremely poison- 0'15, and when applied w vegetation develops a peculiar swectlsh odor not unlike new mown hay. Which is most attractive 1o cattle. The re- sult is that livestock $161018 1'19" l treated section of track will leave their perfectly F1170 "ml "mlrlshmg pasture to gorge themselves on the poisonous growth, with the inevit-

able fatal results. Cattle guards at crossings provide little deterrent, and, in fact, cows have been known to break down fences in their ef- forts to gain access to the right of

way. About 1925 Sodium Chlorate was introduced- as an effective weed killer. However, while non-poison- oue. it unfortunately has another weakness which renders its use ex- tremely hazardous. By itself, Sodi- um Chlorate is not dangerous, but when combined with organic mat- ter such as wood, clothing or vege- tation, 1i, becomes extremely inflam- mable, igniting easily upon friction, and burning with explosive rapid- ity. In spite of’ extreme care, fires following the use of Sodium Chlor- ate are all too numerous and have resulted not only in heavy P101191‘- ty loss, but also in painful. 811d even fatal injuries to workmen.

Until railways and other poten- tial users could be assured 0f a reasonably safe and efficient chem- lcal, it follows that this 111801106 0f weed control could not be widely adopted. Arsenfcai solutions are still used in areas where livestock is not found, but naturally such areas are limited. Sodium Chlorate has 118911 tried. but soonor later its use is bound to end disastrously.

The development of a safe, non- poisonous wecd killing chemical is due to the efforts of the ChiPman Chcmicul Company. which h°1d5 patents on Atlas Non-Po sonous Weed Killer, a liquid solution, and on Atlacide Powder. Bot-h these products have as their base BOd-iilm Chlorate, but combined WW1 1'5 "T9 other ingredients which not only reduce the fire hazard l0 a. mini- mum but also increase the weed killing efficiency of the Clllﬂfllll 10' self.

The cost of chenucal weed killer as above described is from $35.00 to $40.00 per mile for the first treat- ment. One Canadian railway which‘ has followed u. carefully planned program for the past ten years is} now keeping its track in cleaner condition than ever before at an average cost of about $20.00 per mile, which represents a saving of over $40.00 per miles as compared to hand weeding costs.

The actual saving of many is not the only important advantage of chemical weed treatment. Hand weeding cannot remove the deep

the perennial varieties, and such stocks remaining in the ground will not only regrow, but also foul the ballast, and, by holding mosture, hasten the decay of ties. Chemical- ly treated weeds are completely killed and the dead roots soon rot away‘, giving place to clean ballast and an improved track structure generally.

Chemical Weed Killer is widely used, not only by railways, but also by Municipalities for the control of weeds on roadways, and by 111111915 for the eradication of patches OI noxious weeds in cultivated land. Iin fact, wherever a. serious weed problem exists, the cheapest and most effective solution so far de- velcped, is Chlorate Weed-Killer.

Raoul Reymond, proprietor oi‘ Swissvale Fox Ranch, Southport, decided last fall that he would diversify his fur farming operat- ions by thc addition of a. number of trios of mink. With charac- teristic Swiss thoroughness hc in- vestigaied various ranches, ﬁnally picking on one that was highlyre- commcndczi to him by a number of reliable parties. Ton females and five males arrived horn in December and were suitably hous- ed. The other day, meeting Mr. Raymond I inquired what his mink luck was. Here it is-one liiicr one litter of ﬁve, two litters of six. four litters of fnur. totalling 41 kits out of ten females~rather a wonderful record, considering the fact that Mr. Reymond had no experience with mink previous in

1 this shipment.

The eastern part of Kings Coun- iy was a bit late going info fox farming, but it has been spreading considerably the past two or three years. At Fortune Bridge, E. S. Johnston and son Sam have a ﬁne ranch stocked with high-class: rcgistercd animals. I understand year is in the neighborhood of 200 pups and that they have every expectation of a most successful season.

I had a letter from n rancher inst evening as follows .. “Th0 crop around hcrc is away below averagc and I think that most of ihc fmuhle is on account of ran- chers keeping their females in small pens where they do not get sufficient exercise. This causes weakness in the pups and they do not have enough vitality to nurse properly and die bctwiccn the ages of two and four days. Rim- chors who have their foxcsin ope-n wire pens around hcre are having the best incrcnsc".

From another cniirely’ different section of the Island I had a ver- bal statement this week in the same cflcct. ‘The rancher said.. "I was compelled on account of kccpiug ovcr some extra foxcs to use sonic very small pens, and as wo arc liberal feeders the fcmhlcs got pretty fat. These nearly‘ :11‘ inst fhcir litters; pups would live two, three or perhaps flvc day's In thc largcr pcns we had very litllc difficulty”
