L Femaid of the Gray nerbartum, Harvard university, was Hawn into the question quite by ac tiaect Hu conclusions are printed n a recent n umber of Khodcra. the •o-rnai of the New England Botanical •hub They are in part as follows: The writer was recently asked for phe ographs taken in eastern Canada u* tee wnd grape and of the wild nee U* be used as evidence that the early .‘»v:«:iiei!

V laliH has been located at various point, on the coast o! southern New hug.ai.d sua Nova Scotia, near the northern limit* of the range of wnd Crap.* A search of botanical wri ting, irem the earliest berbals to the iatest publication* upon the colloquial t-arn-, of plant* in Scandinavia and Great Britain fall* to reveal any use U either the name vinber or wine berry for the grape But. on the other hand. In the more northers countries of Europe at the present day. the names ’vinber' and wine-berry' are still used as folk name* for some of the Identical wild IruiI* which bore those names In the Kiddie ages. "It teem highly Improbable, then, that the grape should have been familiar, at least from personal ex perience. to the early Norsemeu who a-iied lrom Iceland and Greenland to the western continent. And. in view <jt the fact that the true grape Is called In Scandinavian vindrufva. It ■s not likely that the Norsemen, If they knew Un foreign fruit at all. would have applied to It the name vinber. when they already used the lvtl'T came for a common and very different wild fruit of Norway "Prior and Britten aDd Holland tell «• that the red current Is slill known In the northern countries of England and of Scotland as ‘wine-berry, and the halck currant Is also called In northern Scotland 'wine-berry.' The use of currants In making wine, a common practise in New England, was also known to the Norse. Swedes, Russians. Germans. French. English and otter northern peoples. "Without question, the "vinber' of the early Norse was either the red or black currant or the mountain cran berry The 'self-grown wheat' was long interpreted as Indian corn, but in recent years the theory advanced by Schubeier has been generally adopted, that the wheat seen by the Norsemen in Vinland w as the Amer-; ican w ild rice. “It now remains only to determine our representative of the Scandina vian white birch. This is obviously the canoe birch. Thus it will he seen, that the three plants which have been most depended upon in at tempts to locate Wineland the Good, instead of being the grape, the In dian com or w ild rice, and the maple some of which species, by their known distribution, exclude from onsideration all coastal regions e rth of the maritime provinces) are In reality the mountain cranberry or possibly one of the native currants, the strand wheat and tha canoe birch. And. although the canoe birch extends very locally southward on the coast to Long Island sound, the mountain cranberry to Essex county. Massachusetts. and the strand wheat to the Isles of Shoals, the area of their greatest abundance is from the lower St- Lawrence river northward along the coast of Labra dor The inevitable conclusion from these facts and its far reaching sig nificance must be obvious." Eggs Hatch in Snake. Long Beach. Cal —W. B McCracken tells the latest snake story. For 13 days one of his hens had been "setting" when a hungry snake drove her ofT the nest and gorged itself with three of the eggs. The reptile lingered about the prem ises and McCracken shot it. Wonder ing at Us odd proportions, he per formed an operation and found the eggs. They were put back under the hen. At the end of the regulation time ail three were hatched. The chicks are now a few days old and healthy.

I | English Ccm;;ny Finances Deal to Supply Eastern Metropolis With Up-to-Cate Cab and Bus Serv ice—Roads Are Paved. 1 Ixmdon.—Another revolution Is due •o take place In Constantinople in one ! month, an 1 preparations are being -teadily pushed forward in London to effect it at tbe destined time. ► For about this time next month 21 taxicabs and 55 omnibuses will be running through many of the 6tree:s of that aged city, and the Turks, it is said, are looking forward to the day when they can deftly take a taxi and career In It to Ortakeuy, Chichill, i or some such place. In the words of Signor Molse Maz ; za. the mainspring of the enterprise, | "We are going to wake Constantinople up." "The management will be In the hands of Englishmen," Sig. Mazza raid, "because they have a better 1 knowledge of the handling of omni buses than any one. and there Is no | other country where they have so ! many omnibuses. "Two English managers are going out. one for the motors and one for the horsed vehicles, and six mechan | les as well to teach the Turks. "The people of Constantinople are I looking forward to the omnibuses as i a great boon. for. with the exception j of a horse-tramway service, there la no cheap way of getting about. "Several of the directors of the com pany are members of the Turkish par liament. and the company, which has a capital of (225.000 holds an trade. signed by the sultan on December 7, 1909. giving the sole concession for 60 years, and this does not apply only to Ccnstantinople. “Under the old regime it was Impos sible to get a concession, and It Is only thanks to the young Turk govern ment. who are as civilized and en lightened as any Europeans, that we have secured it. Had it not been for the revolution, we should have had to pay at least $1,000,000 in bribery for it. “The Turks are very clever mechan ics. and we have already engaged a number of them as chauffeurs who have been in the military service on the gun cars. “The horse omnibuses will be run in the streets which are too roughly paved for the motors. The motors will only run on the routes which are properly paved, such as from Galata to Ortakeuy. a distance of three miles. “Another route will be across thu Galata bridge, a distance of three quarters of a mile. This connects the two parts of Constantinople. “From Tunnel (Pera> to Chichill. a distance of three miles, is another of the several routes we shall run on. "The drivers and conductors of all the omnibuses, which are of the usual London types, will be Turks, and they wlli do the work quite well.” Many at Dog’s Funeral. Grafton. W. Va.—At Huntington, this state, hundreds of people attend ed the funeral of a dog. Calo. a French bulldog, owned by Garland Robertson, was buried. The dog had the reputation of never missing a ball game. In his funeral train were prin cipally school children and they scat tered wild flowers, while a baseball bat was placed over the canine's grave. Old Man Renews Business - < Harreunaker of Eighty-seven , ^e*ra to Conduct Store Following the De2th of His Son. Lewiston. Me. — At eighty-seven years of age. Joseph Niles is one of the busiest men in Sabbatis. a subur baa village. Ry the death of his son he fcas gone into business again, and early and late be is at his bench. Seme 12 years ago Niles, then a comparatively old man. after having far many years conducted tae harness store on the main street, gave up the business to tis son. Amasa Niles. A few weeks ago the son arose one morales, went to the store and dropped dead from heart failure. To uay past ti* eighty serenth birthday, j Joseph M. Niles is at the little work shop, conducting the business again that he thought be had left for ait time. Mr Niles does not look or feel eighty-seven years of age. but he is probably the oldest man in the state actively conducting a business, and one of the few who have conducted the same business in the same place tor more than half a century. The little shop Is older than he is —one of the oldest buildings in the township—a little one story affair that formerly stood where the postoffice now is. and has been twice moved since then. CETS 35 CENTS. LOSES $100 Thief Invading California Railroad Station Is Real Victim—Causes Much Joking. Santa Rosa. Cal.—A thler who broke Into the office of the Northwestern Pacific railroad at Schellviiie the other night stole 35 cents from the cash drawer in the ticket office. During bis brief stay in the office be dropped from his pockets an envelope contain ing two greenbacks, one tor $10d and the other for a single dollar. The visit of the thief, intended to net him some easy money, resulted In a net loss to him of $100.65. The officers are desirous of catching the marauder who broke into the de pot, not for the purpose of returning to him the sum of money which he dropped during his thieving expedi tion, but they would like to secure him and prosecute him for his crim inal act. The officers have no fear of tie man calling for the lost money. Th* idea of the rich tramp burglar robbing the poor railroad corporation and incidentally making a donation of $100.65, is causing joking here at the expense of the unknown man who lost his money, and has no hopes of its re covery. The Celestial Empire. Celestial empire is derived from Tien Chau, that Is the heavenly dynasty, meaning the kingdom which the dynasty appointed by heaven rules over. The inhabitants are called celestials because they are subjects of that empire. ARRANGE FOR SPECIAL I ATTENTION TO THE EWES Animals Need Plenty of Exercise, Good Food and Clean* Comfortable Quarters—Ration Is of Greatest Importance. General Purpose Barn. If ewes have been well fed and are , strong and vigorous at time of lamb ing the loss of the youngsters will be small. Ill-fed ewes produce sickly lambs. A young lamb Is very tender, the first few days of Its life. If they come Into the world weak and puny It requires but a breath of cold wet weather to kill them. The ration for ewes Just prior to lambing is of the greatest importance. An excellent grain ration Is oats, bran and corn in equal proportions by weight. This of course makes bran much larger in bulk end some farm ers seem to be afraid to feed bran. This is a great mistake because it Is one of the best rations to use at this time. Alfalfa makes excellent rough age. If bran Is not availab'e a little oil meal makes an excellent substitute. The ration mentioned will make plen ty of milk without laying on too much fat and when the lambs are dropped the ewes will be in good condition to take care of them. Good shelter for the ewes Is also very Important. They require plenty of ventilation, but their quarters must be perfectly dry and free from drafts. It is a mistake to confine sheep in a barn with large openings around the bottom and windows at the top be cause such an arrangement is sure to be drafty. It is a good plan to build In front of the shed an extension roof of about six feet not sloping enough to prevent the sun from shining In but sufficient to carry off the rain. This will en able the ewes to have more light and air and It will be found that they will spend most of their time at the front of the shed. Sheep do not like damp, dark quarters. It Is highly Important that pregnant ewes should have plenty of exercise. Confined In close quarters three weeks! prior to lam Mr* renders them weak and listless and is often, we believe,, the cause of dead lambs at birth. Clean, pure water should be pro-i vided always. An excellent arraage-( mont Is to have a trough running' through the shed Its entire length Intol which water can be discharged out-' side the shed. Sheep will actually! starve before they will drink dirty* water or eat unclean food. Ice water will produce abortion In' ewes If they are forced to drink it aik the time and some arrangement! should be made by which the water can be somewhat tempered. The illustration shows a general purpose barn near Columbus. It W 40 by 56 and has five single horse stalls and one box stall. It has nine single cow stalls and one box stalU It also has a large open stable which can be used for either sheep or cattle, A large oat bln and a corn crib are on the basement floor, both of which, are filled from the Boor above. The main floor is entirely unobstructed. Grit for Chicks. One of the first things to be fed to chicks is coarse sand or suitable grit of some kind, w-hlch may be bought at supply houses or gathered at home, al ways selecting sharp, small sub stances. Dry bread crumbs, millet, seer, hard-boiled eggs, and after a few days. cracked wheat, oat meal an<^ finely ground bone may be fed. With? in reach of the chicks at all times should be grit, small bits of charcoal a fresh, clean supply of water, so pro vided that the chicks can not get their feet into it. BREED OF SILVER CAMPINES This breed Is popular In Belgium, where conditions of soil and climate are not unlike portions of the desert areas of California. In type and habit they strongly suggest the Mediterra nean and Dutch classes, especially the Leghorn or Hamburghs. They are ra ted as great foragers, the birds almost hustling their entire living; the hens are good layers of medium-sized hen fruit. They are non-sitters. The breed is represented by two varieties, viz., the Silver and the Golden. The breed takes its name front the Campine dis tricts of Belgium—the dry sandy plains between Antwerp and Hasselt. where activity is essential if life is to be maintained. They are bred sparing ly in this country. Cocks weigh 4V£ to | 5 pounds: hens 3^ to 4 pounds. The ! body, though small. Is long, with a rather full breast, as In the Hamburgh, which type It much resembles, ex- j cepting in comb, which Is single In both sexes. -- Early Com Pays Well. If you have a good market, early sweet corn is a paying crop. It can be planted thick and an enormous number of ears grown to the acre. 1 have had as high as 1.000 dozen ears to the acre, and It generally sells at ! 8 cents to 12 cents a dozen. While the later sorts are much bigger and 1 sweeter ears they do not, as a rule, pay as well as the earlies. Plant Cory, White Mexican and Early Minnesota. . PROFIT IN RETAIL MILK Many Dairymen Who Live Near Towns and Cities Make More Money In Small Trade Than In Any Other Manner. Many dairymen living near towns and cities find it more profitable to market milk to the retail trade than to dispose of it in any other man ner. The day has already come when people who buy milk or any other food products demand the best and they will patronize the man who is cour teous, businesslike, and who handles his goods in a neat and clean way. More depends upon the man who sells the milk than the quality of the milk itself. If you want people to buy your milk, you must first get their at tention and then win and hold their confidence by affable manners and the most honeat dealing. No one can afford to enter the re tall milk trade if he does not produce the very best quality of milk. You must have good, healthy cows, the cleanest kind of stables for them, to gether with a sanitary milk house. Let your customers know what you have and frequently invite them to visit your farm and 6ee what you have. The few who do visit you will tell 5 all the others what they saw, hence j it will be necessary to keep things , clean and in good order at all times.1 so that your goods will always pre- j sent a good appearance. If your dairy is large enough to warrant it, get out a small booklet describing your dairy. | Illustrate it with a few photo halt i tones if possible and make a strong point in your booklet of the cleanli ness of your surroundings and the sanitary way in which you handle your milk. One of the best ways to advertise your goods is through a fine wagon and equipment. If you have every thing the best and cleanest you can get from one to two cents more a quart for your milk.
