disgusting catalogues not tempted her so alluringly with their brilliant array of purchaseable nay needable things leila would never have even thought of making up the list of things she might buy the dingy old kitchen where leila spent a goodly portion of each day was to receive its rehabilitation with a portion of that magic sum the broken muchmended warped old kitchen range was to be re placed with a shining blueenameled affair exactly duplicated in the al luring sketch in the catalogue the kitchen plans done leila al ways held her breath with a tiny gasp as she turned to the ladies outfitting department such an ar ray of finery i luxurious ailk un- dertfaings for best dainty hand done porto rican lingerie for every day smartlooking ginghams for every day and a complete after noon evening and street costume as listed by the fifth avenue shops and copied accurately for the dis criminating customers of searles gordon company to dream of possessions was one thing to make the dream come true still another problem so leila schemed and dreamed and kept on keeping the home of her beloved father cheery and immaculate a country ministers salary is far from opulent and leila had all she could do to keep the cellar filled with canned goods the garden free of weeds the chickens well fed and laying and the one cow they af forded producing daily the rev lyle dinsmore how ever was utterly unlike his ener getic daughter he believed that god would provide and he was too much of a dreamer to aid him in the stupendous task leila was deep in a fit- of moody rebellion as she walked from the market to the postofflce for the morning mail as she turned away with still another brilliantly adver tised catalogue from searles and gordon she saw posted in a promi nent place a poster advertising 1000 reward for the capture of the man pictured he was alleged to be a daring train robber and had been awaiting trial when he escaped and was reputed to be heading for the border and the canadian wilds leila shuddered a bandit a robber and heading for sleekport she hurried home and worked fever ishly all day the picture of the youthful bandit haunting her and the 1000 reward tantalizing her equally by nighttime she was in a nervous state close to hysteria there was no moon and a slight wind sighed about the house leila still worried over the bandit was in the cupboard putting away a few last things when she saw the kitch en door slide noiselessly open a heavily bearded face peered at her and a shaking hand warned her to silence it was the hunted man leila never knew where the courage came from that caused her to bid him enter but she knew she must have done it by the flash of deep gratitude in his face as he sat wearily down and as she pre pared a lunch- for him and watched him eat it the thought of the 1000 reward was almost stifling her her dreams come true silently the man ate wolflshly as though he were famished leilas heart constricted he was so young and somehow he didnt look vicious or weak just poor now he was speaking and his voice rang with truth and convic tion you wont believe me maam any more than the officials down there will but those yeggs hired me and my car i wasnt one of em i was just earning a good nights pay and i didnt know anything about the robbery at all till i read the papers next day then i knew theyd hired me to drive em away just as a blind and nobody will ever believe that i wasnt a member of that gang itll mean twenty years and i was going to get married next year id saved enough to buy my car and id built up a good trade the boys head dropped to the table he wasnt crying he wasnt the whin ing sort he was just sunk in the misery of lifes crudest mistake circumstantial evidence and suddenly leila saw it all saw how little poverty was after all com pared to dishonor bed luck and the thousand and one other trials of the world and she moved impulsively theres a longdistance moving truck that goes through sleekport every saturday night it unloads part of the provisions at kellers ill hide you till they come and you can go to sl albans with them playing hooky youll catch a bumper out of there and make the border safely if youre careful im going to give you things to shave with but leave a mustache and itll work a wonderful disguise the canadian harvest of wheat ta on and they need men and

ing grain with a dipper oomblne was demonstrated to hundreds pf far mers and many other interested peo ple on the dufferm street farm of mr t a russell president of uie masseyharrts company on wednes day last close to eight hundred came to get firsthand information on the working of this machine and all were most favourably impressed with the way it handled the brain in a stand of fall wheat running well over thirty- nine bushels to the acre to those familiar with the estab lished routine of harvesting grain crops cutting stooklng pitching and hauling and finally harvesting the all in one action of the combine with only two men required to do the work seemed the height of perfection re ducing the number of operations the bare minimum of oourse naturally brings about a very substantial saving in the costs there is no twine to buy there is no expense for labor in stock ing there is no threshers mh to pay and nothing extra is added to the housekeeping expenses for large threshing crews another feature about combine harvesting that appeals to many is that the exchange of work with neighbors which often comes at most inopportune times is not requir ed insofar as the economical side of the method is concerned it is estima ted that- the actual outofpocket ex pense with the combine method is about equal to or less than the cost of binder twine with the regular way of harvesting it means something worth while to a fanner to be able to save up to 150 per acre with the combine and there is a saving of grain and seed too that means quite a lot par ticularly when harvesting seed hay crops also the new type of combine as demonstrated in the clipper and the tractor required bo operate it can be purchased nowadays at a cost or over twelve hundred dollars less than it took ten years ago to buy equipment of similar capacity operating cost of the presentday machines is much lower too particularly when a mod ern tractor is used with one of the lowcost power- takeoff combines in addition to the combine the one way disc seeder was in operation this machine is another instance of what the modern agricultural implement engineer is developing to reduce farm work and expense it prepares the soli and plants the seed doing in one operation what formerly took three or tour the man who uses the one way discseeder to put in his crop does away with the separate jobs of plow ing discing harrowing and seeding with such equipment as is now available the farmer islni better pos ition to carry on his operations with a wider margin for profit and many are finding it the most practical solu tion to the present da problems o fa t attending the demonstration as the personal guests of mr t a russell were over one hundred and fifty of the men retired on pension

first selfbinders and had played a very active part themselves in the manu facture of the machine that so ably represented the skill of canadian workmen in the great grain growing countries of the world at this dem onstration they say for the first time the present day answer to the demand for lower cost methods of production mingled with their pride in the fact that the company is pioneering with the combine was no doubt a slight regret that they were not back in the ojd foundry forge knife or wood shop to lend thetr skill to the making of these new machines as a result of their success in the field last year more masseyharrts clipper combines were purchased in ontario to handle the 1039 harvest and a general widespread use of the combine is indicated by the trend to wards this

applications of copper nitrate have been found ad vantageous dr morostle of ontario agricultural college has had remark able results in controlling dandelions by this method he recommends two applications 1n july august or sep tember at the rate of one and a half pounds of copper nitrate to seven and a half gallons of water per 1000 square feet the young seedlings would have to be killed by application the follow ing year it has not been determined how many years this application jcould be used safely for ultimately the ac cumulation of copper would become toxic to the grass itself
