Advancéd Course In Agriculture For Young Farmer, era. By Harold Johnston, Cataraqui f There are a great many ways in which the value of this Advanced Course in Agriculture will be a bene- fit to those who have taken the ad- vantage of it, but we only feel sorry for these that did not or could nol attend this valuable Course. It has proved itself very interesting and successful in every way but one, and that is the lack op students which we cannot account for unless we lay it to hockey and other popular events. This Course will enable the young farmer in solving this great problem of farming that has been arousing our attention in the past, and will no doubt help us in a great many ways. During the past, farm life has been associated: with routine. and drudg- ery, and other worries that went to make the farm life unhappy; but thege conditions of things are rapid- ly passing away, our rural districts are gradually introducing comforts and conveniences, which promise to ntake them much more inviting than they have been in the past. With the advent of the .Rural Te- lephones and Mail Delivery, Radial lines, and automobiles, it looks as if b t i i abundance of good food and hospit- | ality, would be in a position to call! cannot come too soon. As a result of agricultural educa- tion, farming with aH its privileges willl no' doubt, become a very pro- fitable and interesting occupation, as it. is now about the only independent one. There is so much to learn about farming that I don't think the time will ever come when one .per- son will know all the secrets in farming, as there are so many new | methods springing up through these | experimental stations, that a man | will always havé something to learn in the future. ' These Experimental Stations | throughout Ontario are workhg for | our benefit, and endeavoring to im- press upon us all, information in' re: mending to us the different kinds of | time and labor saving machinery, | such as spraying machines for the killing of worms and insects that destroy a large percent of fruit, ve-| "getables and plants, If these des- | tructable pests were i certain time before warm weather comes, they would be easier to con- | trol and it would mean an increase | in crop. .

Gen. Henderson, FOR WOUNDS NOW. The Latest Surgical Marvel Invented By Sir James Davidson. X-rays have enabled. doetors to ac- complish miracles in the way of locat- ing foreign substances in the human body and treating internal wounds, and to this wonderful aid to healing has now been added an invention which actually tnables a physician to discover wounds by sound. It is Sir James Davidson, consult- ing surgeon of the Rontgen Rays de- { partment of Charing Cross hospital London, who describes this latest method, which he has great success. His apparatus con- sists of a special telephone, with dou- ble receivers. One end of the tele- phone wire is attached to a small piece of platinum, which is placed upon any part: of the patient's skin, near where the wound is supposed to be. This platinum is held in posi- tion by plaster or a bandage, the oth- er'end of the telephone wire being in the form of a disinfected thread of silver, which is used because it can be readily attached to any of the sur- geon's instruments---a knife, a probe, needle, or pair of forceps. The oaly i precaution necessary is that the at- tachment of the terminating wire of |.the instrument ghould be firm. leo -It-the surgeoch then the { telephone receiver to his ear and be- gins to use his instrument upon the tissues, he will hear with great » 8 tinctness what is known as a micro phonic rattle the instant the instru- ment touches any metal embedded in the patient's tissues. The value of this apparatus to sur- geons on the battlefield is obvious. but Sir James points out that for | those who wish to test the - y of | this latest scientific discovery,- is, | not necessary to have a man from | the trenches with a bullet or shrap- nel in<him. To demonstrate the vas lue of locating wotinds by telephonic i sound, a potato of good size may be taken to represent the patient, or that part of the patient in which the | metal foreign body is lodged, and a common nail, well embedded in the ' isubstance of the potato, may repres- ent i fragment of shall or. pon a plece platinum-foil, moistened in the usual | way, on & table. The telephone is | then connected up in the manner { which has been described, both to the { platinum-toil and also to the kmife, |" 'which ix steel throughout. The-po- | tato is incised with the knife, and the moment the blade touches the nail & grating sound is heard, and is re-| peated whenever the contact of the. i knife with the fail is repeated.

For three months the trenches have remained in the same position, and never in all that time, here as elsewhere along the line, but some- one is on the lookout and the re- serves are ready for an attack. "Here we will be until the big push comes," say the men. By the "big push" they refer to the move- ment when t new British army is in the trenches. At night German patrols creep out to see if the British are up t anything new and the British do likewise to ascertain if the Germans are. And sometimes some of the men are killed. Those who are not oh watch are lounging on beds of straw under the timber roofs, To the rear there are many more shelters where officers and men are quartered. A Planter Of, Primroses, One old.
