Years ago I made, annually, a

quantity of rhubarb wine, which was in fair condition about the Christmas. Except on one occasion I relied entirely on a "wild yeast"

for the ferment. Tha rhubarb was

it had undergone a slight

secondary fermentation. If I re- member correctly the proportions were five lbs. rhubarb and three lbs. sugar to one gallon of water. If hot water was

be killed and no fermenta-

tion would take place. On the soli- tary occaslon that I used yeast cake the wine had a. peculiarly soft taste, without the "tang" which distin- guishes well-made rhubarb wine.

This wi yeast is found on all

succulent fruits during hot weather, and in winter it is found in the soil beneath the shrubs or trees that bear these summer fruits. As we know by experience the cells rind a iodgment also on rhubarb petioies.

Reess, who studied this wild yeast,

gives the provisional name of Sm- charomyces apiculatus, and says it gives rise to a feeble alcoholic fer- mentation. It may besuspected that certain forms of summer oclic are produced by these ferments, espec- ially when over-rips fruits are eaten.

These tribes, though they had no national unity, fall into three natural divisions. On the south coast, and up to a line ex- tendlrig from Devonshire to the mouth of the Humber, were the des- cendants of settlers ~from Gaul

who had a higher civili-

zation than the rest of the Britons and were extensively employed in

(France)

cultivating the land. To the north of these were the descendants of the aboriginal displaced habitation, interior of

Britons whom they had

little white cattle from pasture to pasture, and throwing up temporary places of security for themselves and their herds.

Severn there were tribes variously thought to else the descendents of neolithic man: little dark people traces of whom exist in South Wales ic this day. North Wales had its strain of tall, fair haired or red-haired peo- ple, with a more excitable tempera- ment. "The Britons,” say the Ro- man historians, "are tall of stature, and corpulent, but not well made,” a description which might well fit the African tribes at the present day. '

An outlying province like Britan-

nia was very much at the mercy of its Roman govemor. In general it was the policy of the Emperor’s re- presentative to keep the province tranquil and prosperous, and to tax the pepole lightly. But sometimes

In recent years weather and 'dis-

The ultimate goal 'is a system of weather forecasting which will be sufficiently reliable to enable the plant pathologist to forotell outbreaks of plant diseases. Fruit growers, gardeners and far- mers informsd from this source would be able to take the necess- ary measures to prevent crop in- jury through disease outbreaks.

In the literature on this subject

there are numerous references to the relationships between weather conditions and plant diseases. In Canadil, at the various laborator- ies of the Division of Botany, some important advances have been made in the study of the factors which comprise "weather," the most important being recognized as temperature, humidity and pre- cipitation, wind and light. For ex- ample primary infection with the fungus causing potato blight is dependent upon comparatively cool weather and once the disease has started to develop wann weather is essential for an epidemic; yet excessively hot weather arnests its progress.

There were many potents which

foretold the breaking storm. Again we are indebted to Tacitus: "At

Camulodunum, the statue of Nero fell to t.he ground, and turned its back where the face had been, as if it fled before the enemy. Women were seen as if mad, singing wild songs in which they foretold the destruction of the colony. strange noises were heard in the house of assembly and loud howlings in the theatre.

now thoroughly allrnied, amlisd to the procurator, Catus Decianus, for assistance, but he made light of their fears and sent only two hun- dred men. These and a small body of resident troops took possession of the temple -of Claudius, as a citadel, but there was no time to throw up even an earthen ram- part, nor to send away the women and children (as was usual in such cases) before they found themselves suddenly surrounded by the barbar- ians. At the first attack everything but the temple was pilmdersd and burnt: and the temple itself in which the soldiers had taken refuge was captured aftsr'a siege of two

carefully organized research, in- formation of great value has been gathered throughout Canada in connection with stem rust of grain and, among other things, it would seem that the ‘ wind carries the rust spores into Canada from the more southerly wheat srowlns areas. Finally, with the aid of ae- replanes equipped with spore tfilpo. it was learned that rainy weather cleared the air of these spores. ainco only a very few spores were ‘trapped in wet weather.-R. R.

'rim FARM roUl.'rn! nook

“Poultry is at last definitely rs~

cognlzed as one of the essential departments of every up-to-dats farm where a program of mixed farming is carried on," states George Robertson, Assistant Do- minion Poultry Husbandman. "Noi only ls it recognized as a necessary department of i'arm work but mon and more farmers are coming ti realize that for the capital invest- ed and labour involved there are few if any departments that give as high retums. For the mixed farm, general purpose breeds such as the Plymouth Rocks, which are good both for laying and for the production of market poultry, are recommended. A flock of a hun- dred such birds carefully managed are retuming to many a. farmer a profit over cost of feed, of from $2 - th h

00 to $500 a year which i.s some ing not to be disdained by even

t e moat successful farmers.”
