The president of the: Berkshire Agricultural Society at- tributed the excellence of the liarâ€"i vest over this particular tract Olal country to the hemy blasting which had been in progress all the year] through at the Trappe Rock quarâ€"i ries, in the centre of the district; These blasts were almost invariably followed by showers of rain over the surrounding country over a radius: of ten to twenty miles in diameter“ Beyond that area there had been litâ€"l tle moisture during the summer. ‘ Explosives play a far larger part} in farming than most people imagine} There are now over 1,500 hailâ€"light“ ing stations in the vineâ€"growing dis-‘ tricts of Europe, principally in North Italy and the South of France. At each of these are sevar-; a] bellâ€"mouthed cannons pointed straight up in the air. When a hailstorm approaches, charges of powder are fired, and the vortex rings which they create go whistling upwards from their muzzles and BREAK THE HEAVY CLOUDS. The result is usually that instead of a destructive hailstorm, there is merely a. fall of rain, and so the tenâ€" der fruit is saved from destruction. There is a precipitous hillside on the Duke of Argyll's estate of Tiree which was for years an eye-sore to the late Duke from its barren condi- tion. It was too steep to permit oi its being planted by any ordinary means. Some twenty years ago the head of a great firearm factory stayâ€" ing with the Duke, suggested that seed might be fired like shot, against the hillside. Two small cannons were procured, loaded with tree seeds in tins, and the contents fired against the precipice. The experi- ment was crowned with complete success, and toâ€"day the once barren hillside is covered with evergreens. ago it occurred to a Rrufus Bateson to try DI breaking some of L1 explosives.

The expense was very little great- er than that entailed by the use of horse or steam power, and the ox- pedient. of breaking land by dynaâ€" mite has now been very generally adopted. Another advantage of this method of cultivation is the en- ormous slaughter of harmful insects. Modern farmers have adopted many peculiar expedients for incresing the yield of their fields.

Campbellford, Ont., Sept. 21â€"â€" (Special).â€"That the complication of diseases resulting from deranged Kid~ neys is easily curable by Dodd’s Kidâ€" ney Pills is evidenced by the case of James Atwell of this place, Mr. AtWell is a hearty man toâ€"day and talks freely of his former ill-health and its cure. "I had Lumbngo and Bladder Trouble for years." he says, "and for over five months the pains in my bladder were particularly severe. In passing my urine would hurt me so as to almost cause tears to come to imy eyes. I used other Pills but got no relief and a bandage prescribed by the doctor failed to help me. Then I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills and they cured me. I Will never be Withâ€" -out them in the house.” Mr. Atwell’s story can easily be corroborated, and other people here are telling of the good work by Dorld's Kidney Pillsl They cure ab- solutely and permanently all forms of IKidney Disease. deadly poisonous. 512a}; world.

The intelligence of animals seems, as a rule, to be underrated rather than overrated. ‘ An English dog breeder described the other day a Wonderful collie that had telonged to Lord Ave-bury. "This dog," he said, "would, when it was hungry, lay at his master’s feet a card marked 'Food.’ When it was thirsty it would fetch a card marked ’Drinkg When it Wanted to take a walk it would being a card marked ‘Out.’ Lord Avebury trained it to do this trick in less than a month. He put the food card over the dog‘s food and made it bring the card to him before he Would allow it to eat, and in the matter of drinking and going out he used a like method. The cards were similar in shape and col- or; nothing but the Writing on them difl‘ered.

"Johnny," said a fond mother to her young hopeful the other day, after she had returned home from calling on a neighbor, "someone has taken a big piece of frosted cake out of the pantry."
