The melon aphis has more than forty enemies which hold it in cheek In many regions much of the time, but artificial 'control becomes imper- ative when weather conditions are unfavorable to its parasites. The following directions for com- ting the pest are given in the bulletin :* * 1.

When the aphis is found, do not wait to find qut whether it is going to increase, but begin spraying at once. 5 4. Be sure to use the correct for- mula and apply it properly and thoe- oughly, making frequent inspections to ascertain that the undersides of the leaves are whil covered. 4.

As a spray for the melon aphis and other plant lice nicotine sulphate thus far has given (he best results. The following formula is' said to combine the ingredienis in the pro- per proportions: Nicotine sulphate, 40 per cent. fluid ounces Yellow laundry soap, avoirdupois pounds oe Water, gallons .... serra sae On account of the low spraying nature of the vine growth, a much more even distribution of the spray Is effected by a power sprayer than ba hand-operated machine. Soaps of nearly every kind are valuable as sprays for the control of the melon aphis and others of its kind.

Briefly, the present regulatiof is that members of any branch of the forces, \Imperial or Dominion, are entitled to chevrons | for service overseas. In the Domin ion troops ' a special provision was made that service overséas should count from the date of thefr leaving their own country. This means that Canadians who have only done ser- vice in England are entitled to the same mark of distinetjon as those who spent whole winters in the trénches. Have There are many Canadians in Eng-| land, of course, who have got nol further to the actial fighting through ne fault of their own, but the fol- lowing is a glaring example of the present anomalous position: At Argyll House, in London, at this mo- ment there is a certain major wear- ing one red and three blue chevrons, also the order of the British Empire and a Russian decoration, and vet he has spent his whole time at clerical work in England. There is also a young captain who Came over as a private, was wounded three times, earned his Military Cross in France, and yet, following the example of Cen. Turner and oth- ers, declines in sheer disgust to put any chevrons on his sleeve. GIRLS! BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR AND STOP DANDRUFF lecomes Charming, Lustrous and Thick In Few Moments.

Catching Up to Us. The New York Commercial states that the United States is second to Canada in supplying farm machinery to Australia and its position in the trade is steadily improving. Eleven million dollars' worth of such mach- inery is required annually by Austra- lian farmefs, of which seven million dollars worth is manufactured nt home and four million déllars' worth imported. ar While the present demand for farm machinery is substantial the fact 1s that in the normal course of events Australia is destined to become a mueh 'more attractive market such articles. The increasing efi- ciency' of farm tractors should eventually prove a most important factor in developing the agricultural resources ar the country. In spite of the present difficulties in the path of the uverage American manufacturer, the market deserves "the utmost at- tention, especially on the part of th8se who produce a fair number of the machines most favored by the Australian farmer, The home manufacturers are fav- ored by the fact that much of the nd is not cleared of stumps, so that stump-jump feature is a necessity in most implements.

Few Canadians are alive to the fact that we are menaced by an army greater than that which is menacing Europe at present, writes a Judge contributor. All over the country it is springing up, in the fields, in the cities, at the seashore. Its members require no training, they are perfect in thejr art from birth. They have no flag and no leader. They are en- cumbered with no baggage trains and have no lines of communication to keep open. Being ignorant of death, they do not fear it and the most rightful slaughter does not dismay them. With lightnjng rapidity, they move from place to place, so that they seem to 'be everywhere. There #fe no slackers in this army. Each %s | member is firmly alive to the neces- sity of doing his bit.

Moreover, all 'that we know about Paradise we imagine, There is no experience, since from that bourne no traveller has return- ed. When one does make his Way back we shall be ina position to give a proper definition of Paradise. Un- til then it must remain something ro which one looks forward with keen pleasure. In this sense there need be no hesitation in saying that the ideal combination of wilderness and Para- dise is just about a'hundred mils north of Toronto. The jumping-off place is Penetang; the Open Sesame is "bait," the treasure to be unlocked is fish. The final result is a chas- tening and strengthening of ' char- acter.

They are, however, mys- terious and irregular, in their og and only long and patient stiidy will enable the fisherman to so win their confidence that he can count on be- ing able to sit down at the end of the day and eat a satisfying meal of them. Their office hours are not to be found even in the guide books, nor can their haunts be tabulated as was the case of human beings in the mediaeval ages before the Committee of One Hundred rolled the Stream and converted patrons of the back room into patrons of the back lane and adjacent purlieus. The general principle adopted by fishermen is that the further away you get from camp, and the more trouble you have in getting there, the better is the fishing. What founda- tion ih fact there is for this belief is not easy to say. Sometimes it seems to be invalidated, for it has been known that a party camping five wi from civilization paddled ten miles further into the wilderness and got back with not more than a few dozen fish, none of them more than five or six pounds. while another party lodged on the brink of civilization, paddled five miles up to the wharf of the campers first mentioned and took fish of a number and size that caused bad blood between the two parties of fishermen. The same principle may be observed lpecally, for one can get more fish on King street east in half an hour than he can get in e On- tario in half a year. ' But an injustice would be done to fishermen if the impression were con- veyed that.what they desired was merely to eat a lot of fish, It is the sport of catching them that makes the appeal. Hence the thread-like lines, the willowy rods, the dainty little hooks. Hence also the sports- manlike practice of throwing back every fish not more than ome and three-quarter inches long that acc, dentally impales ] . the barb.
