One special advantage of carbon biâ€" sulphide is that its yapor is more than twice as heavy as air, so. that in a woodchuck buirow it will follow along the hole‘until it reaches the bottom, crowding the air above it to the top. As the animal is likely to be in the lower part of the burrow, it is aImost certain to inhale the poisonous ~apor and be killed. * 4205 6 TW C 22 WHT AZL AAGI FOAIUIIOW, WAB SECH This substance has been used for | in the Centre church on Sunday last. some time :in the West for destroying | fjeilo Seotchmen 1~ You there ? ~No grcurd squirrels, and has also been harm in gomng bareâ€"faced. â€" Looks someâ€" largely used for destroying insects in | what like a woman. mills and factories. _ Is has often been | _.We leare that Louis Pollock nbought recommended and utilized to destroy Dougal McNab‘s white hurse for‘ a nest woodchucks, But its merits for the purâ€" ! sum. pose do not seem to be very generally | While ~waiting on Thar«day evening appreciated, ‘ last some of the boys* practiâ€"ed throwing A seriés of experiments coycring seyâ€" | Shoulder stones.

Not only is a considerable amount of grain or fodder consumed by these animals, but much more is trampled upon and destroyed, while the open burrows are occasionally 1esponsible for accidents to horses employec in barvesting. Many ways of destroy ing these animals have been devised, but ordinary methods frequently fail to keep them in check. _ Probably the simplest and most satisfactory method is that of the use of bisulphide of carâ€" bon, an inflamaole liquid which on exâ€" posure to air volatilzes into & vapor that is very destructive to animal life. Twenty Institutes were organized, twenty seven were visited during the last two months. With an increasing membership and a lively interest maniâ€" fested in the work by its members, the Farmers‘ Institute system should soun become a tactor in the progress of Agâ€" riculture in Prince Edward Island. " KILLING WOODCHUCKS WITH CARBON BISULPHIDE. During the month ot J uly a series of midsummer lectures was given beâ€" ftore tne Institutes by Prof. H. H. Dean and Mr. D. Drammond, representing the Dominion Department of Agriculâ€" ture, besides several local speakers. With one ur two exceptions where the advertising failed, they were a grand srecess. _ The farmers turned out well and menifested a deep interest in the meetings. s Already the influence ouf this public discussion of agriculturai questions is shown in an iucreased interest in everything which makes for the adâ€" vancement of the calling. _ The deâ€" mand for pure bred stock for breeding purposes, which has more than doublâ€" ed during the past year, may be cited as one instance of a benefit already derived from the Institutes. Prof. E. J. MeMillan of Charlotteâ€" town, P. E. I., Supt. of Farmers‘ Inâ€" stitute, &e., has prepared a sketch of the work already accomplished in Prince Edward Island, in which hbe says: "The Farmers‘ Irstitute system in Prince, Eaward Island is tw vlold in its aims. It seeks to combine the eduâ€" cational features of the Ontario system with the facilives tor dealing in live stock afforded by the old Agricultural Bucieties plan. Each of ganization is a Farmers‘ lusilitute anua Agricultural Society comb ned. A Government grant of $00 is paid annuaily â€"to each Bocieiy, which bas at least 50 memâ€" bers enrolied, and collects $140 per year in memberslhip ftees, _ A sum aâ€" mounting to $i,CUU was expendeced in this way Jast year. « The total memâ€" bership up to December $18st, 1901, was 1624, and the amount subscribed in leds was $911.00. (‘Tue receipis of the Inâ€" stitutes irom awll sources amounted to nearly $2,000, _ ‘Tuis money was exâ€" pended in the purcliause of pure bred stock and in delraying the expenses oft lecturers. Tuirty sbree meetings, chiefly for purpuses «j organization were beid during the tirst year. Iu view of the great success of the Farmers‘ Institute as a means of Eduâ€" cation in Ontarso, the Dominiun Deâ€" partment of Agriculture has endeavorâ€" ed to coâ€"operate with the various local Departments in establishing and imâ€" proving similar systems in their re. spective provinces. ‘Trained speakers have been sent to assist in the work in other provinces, and the best available men in these provinces have been pressâ€" ed into serviee, not anly in their own province, but in others as well. By sendiug able and observant men from one Proyince to another in ths way we hope to get together a thoroughly capa ble corps of Institute workers, f1â€" miliar with the agricul:ural situation and requirements in all parts ot Canâ€" | ada. THE GROWING POPVLARNTY Of Tit; FARMES SE Saturday, Aug. 9, King Edward VIl will be erowned unless untoward cireumstances prevent. Every ‘bulleâ€" tin issued records steady progress, and the "Lancet‘"‘ says had he been an ordinary hospital patient he would have been discharged " cured" some days ago. He is now daily walking the deck, dining with‘1 his family, receiving visitors an dispen honors. He returns to London, Wdei.dg nesday, and will leave again Monday or Tuesday for Balmoral. â€" Millions will be glad tosee the thing safely over, so as to falsify the old Gipsy‘s prediction that he would be King, but would never be crowned, a prediction Bome don‘t like to get correspondenis but the sowme onée else get one. Mr Jos Firth ot Holy Hollow, was seen in the Centre chureh on Sunday last. lHello Scotchmen! You there 2 N c harm in gormng bareâ€"faced. â€" Looks some what like a woman. Mr Chas Arnott and neighbors are busily engaged in " burning lime." They report trade brisk. The farmers young and old with the hay and haryest so mwuch to say this week, Mr Jno MceDonald believes in line. He brought home a the other day. Sam Seott found out that a bike was no use to a married man so he dealt it off for a top buggy. It seems that thé cement craze has died away. Wonder it it will revive again. Councillior MeInnis was â€" round letting jobs south of the Lake. Hope he will drive north. Joe Boyle has built a stone wall under his barn. Guess it will be better than posts. John R. Duncan bas got the job of fixing up the school. +~He will no doubt make a good job of it. Mr. R. Bradly‘s young team ran away with his mower lately and made pieces of it in a few seconds, but otherwise no harm was done. Will Barkley is back again to try his luck at Mr. Lamb‘s well. â€" Hope he will succeed this time. Will Priel is on his feet again after a severe attack of inflammatory rheumâ€" atism. Two little girls came to Jim Goodâ€" well‘s. Heis quite proud of them and will try and keep them a while. Will Kirk and Dick Moran are engaged with John Love tor the season‘s threshing. John knows where to get good men. « Will Boyle thought he could build a chimney and so he did on the new kitchen. _ Any one wanting a job done come to Glascott. Mick Barrie has treated himselt to a new Massey Harris binder, and so has Frank Priecl & bros. Dick Moran says his new mower a clinker. Bill Moraa has laid down the stone hammer and trowel and has taken his hay fork instead. Farmers around Gloscott are trying hard to saye their hay crop which is rather a hard task PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERYVâ€" ED :â€" It sbould be distinctly underâ€" stood by every one who uses carbon bisuiphide for any purpose that it is ' HIGHLY VOLATILE, INFLAMABLE and POISONOUS, and it is also HIGHâ€" LY EXPLOSIVE. With any reasonâ€" able care in its use however out of doors no ill results can tollow. Used as desâ€" cribed above thére is no necessity for one to inhale the vapor, and a small quantity in a glass stoppered bottle may be sately stored away in a cool place. Of courss it must be kept out ot vhe reach of children, and away trom fire of any kind. The person applyâ€" ing it to woodchuck holes should not be smoking while handling the liquid. For most people it is probably better to buy of the local druggist than to store a large amount. It is not expensive in any case, and the ordinary commerâ€" cial grade will do as well for this purâ€" ‘ pose as that which is chemically pure. F. W. Hopsox, l Litve Stock Commissioner. The pail of dirt is quickly thrown into | the hole and the entrance carefally closed. _ If there is more ‘than one enâ€" trance, all but one should be filled in betore treatment. â€" This method not | only kills the old woodchuck. but de stroys in a human manner the yop? in the burrow. It has too, ths adâ€" | ditional advantage that the animal is not only killed but is buried, and the hole is filled, so that considerable time is thus saved. _A large number of exâ€" periments have been made, and in onâ€" 1y a very few cases were the lioles reâ€" opened, and in each instance there was conclusive evidence that they had been opened from the outside by woodâ€" chucks burrowing into them.

But this is not all the programme, for the " Western‘‘ of 1902 goes far beâ€" yond anything ever attempted in the same line. It has always been the leader in these departments, but this year will surpass itself in the beauty, variety and thrilling magnificerce of its programme. _ A glance at the list sufftices to prove that the management have spared neither trouble nor exâ€" pense to give their friends the most ungque, instrnetive and amusing enâ€" tertainments ever offered to the people of this province. ‘ WESTERN FAIR. ‘ Wonderfal Attraction. In these days of marvelous achieve, ments, men have almost ceased to be surprised, no matter what strange novâ€" elty may appear, and yet we haye just learned of a sensational feat of human skill and daring that compels universal wonder and admiration wherever it is seen. It is called the Cycle Dazzle, and was originated by the worldâ€"famous king of hazardous exploits ‘The act is performed on the smallest racing track ever constructed and one built at an angle otf 74 deâ€" grees. In this strange structure two men and two woimmnen on bicycles perâ€" form feats so marvellous that they deâ€" ty description. : OUne can scarsely imâ€" agine the terrificspeed that must be atâ€" tained by these daring riders on such a track, to set at naught completely the law of gravitation. We are glad to know that the people of Western: Ontario are soon to have the pleasurel of seeing this unparalleled sensation. The Directors of the Western Fair Asâ€" sociatiou have fortunately been successâ€" ] ful in securing the attraction for the | thousands who will yvisit London from September 12th to 20th, the date of th('] great exhibition, I * The coronation has become an inâ€" tensely human proceeding. The King by virtue of his sufferings and brave struggle to avert a second national calamity, commands sympathy rather than homage. There is intense anxâ€" iey lest the physicians may have miscalculated the King‘s recuperative powers and set tor him a task too heavy for an invalid. The national pride in the unique function has ceased,, popular enthusiasm for the street pageantry has lapsed, the ceremonial has become a somewhat painful test of physical endurance, with premonitions of a gosaible reaction when the last trumpet lare hbas sounded to the accompaniâ€" ment of drums. however absurd, in quarters on would not expect.
