The mill horn bad been sounded continuously from the commence­ ment of the coullagration. and hundreds of people were rushing to the place from all parts of the town.

The whole of the building, which was five storeys high, ten windows long and sik wide, was entirely enveloped in Haim's by the time the suction pipe had been cleared, and little hope was entertained of any part of the building being saved.

About 100 operatives were thrown out of employment, the damage being estimated at about -030,000.

dinner for a man—scientifically. The filbert is a good fruit for a suburban plot; it does not need tho pure air of the countryside. Cosfor is the best variety. So fertile is it that the market grower employs it as a pollcniser for other filberts.


A NUT.—A dozen filbert* is an adequate FRUITFUL TREES. The fruit produced iu these islands is tho


fmost-quality fruit in the world. Our apples are world-famed. They are thin- skinned, crisp and full of juice. By tho time they reach our shops, though, their beauty may bo overshadowed by imported apples. Coming from afar, the imported apples have to be properly packed. A striking feature of the last few season’s orders has been the demand for apples. Not only have musory men had to supply apples for* new gardens and for now orchards, but aho for filling gaps in old farmhouse orchards, which for years bad been neg­ lected. but will nmv bo a distanet means of profit.


one straight stem that is not allowed to branch—is suited to small plots The lead­ ing reason in favour of the single-stemmed tree is that the flowers of many apples, pears, plums and dessert cherries do not become fruits without the pollen—the yellow fertilising dust—of another variety. Some varieties, certainly, are wholly self-fertile, hut most are more or less self-sterile. Have iialf-adozen single-cordon apples at two feet apart, and all bear freely. Bees, butter­ flies and tho breezes carry the pollen from flower to flower and from tree to tree.

that is sufficiently limed. The action of lime is only downward, and following the digging dress the surface with cither the hot or with the cooled lime—a pound of either per square yard. So far as its effect on the brown scab i* concerned, it does not matter whether the lime is used fresh or if it has powdered, but fresh lime is more effective if it i- desired to lighten a soil.


Black scab is known as the wart disease,


heenii-o in the early stages the small swellings that appear in the eyes of the affected tubers and at the collar of the plant bear a distinct resemblance to warts, and a*> the cauliflower disease, because in a later stage the outgrowths bear resem­ blance to the beads of a cauliflower. Ju this later stage it can be told that the crop has the scab disease by its horrible smell. Neither soil cultivation, nor any kind of


after-culture, serves any useful purpose in the case of the black scab disease. The most healthy haulm is often badly diseased at the root. The disease is local in its ravages; in these areas only tho immune varieties may be planted. The names of immune varieties will be found in the descriptive catalogues.

THE FLOWER GARDEN, THE PATH.


A well-made path sets off the flower beds,


the lawn, the pool, the rockery, etc. A system of drainage by means of a pipe is rarely necessary. Stones or clinkers should serve the purpose of making a dry walk. Tho start can be made by digging out a spade’s depth of soil. The fork may he the more suitable tool for digging your ground than the spade. The hotter fork to dig with is the fork with Hat prongs and not the one that is more often sold— the one with round prong*. The former kind of fork lifts the more soil. After turning out a spade’s depth of earth, lay a foundation of -tones for drainage. Put back some of the removed soil on the stones.


Roll and ram the path in order to make


it firm aud level. Instead of buying a rammer, wear a pair of old hoots and stamp down the bumps with t.ho> heel*. The modern roller is the concrete-filled machine. It is as lasting as, and cheaper than, the kind that is weighted with iron. A machine weighting two hundredweight should be bought. Cover the path with gravel. Patient gardeners sift the gravel into two heap*, and they use the finely sifted gravel for the surface. Paths may sink down the middle and they may bold some rain. In order to prevent a wet path for any reason, make it erc-eent-shaped.


Tho crown can maintained, if tho


rolling is done against the edges of the path instead of on the middle. Draw tho roller, because pushing it presses the boots into the path. Not only may gravel conic off on the boot*, but tho path may bo dented. Very wet walks should not be rolled, because gravel would stick to the machine.

The district meeting of Hover Scouts was leld hist Monday at *• Jonathan's


C Jonathan ’ having come hack into his ottn again, with the amalgamation or Uitheroe Parish Church Crew and the old Central into an “ open ” crew). Mr. R. 1. Kay was in the chair and the liUIo


room was full to capacity. There were 15 members present, which is almost a 90 per cent, attendance. The activities of the etoning took the form of an informal debate.


Air. 1. R. Wilson proposed tho motion “ t.infc to make a success of life a


man must lenvo home, ’ an<l tho opposition wns upheld by Air. T. G. Pinder. After tho niain points oi view had been expressed the discussion was thrown open and led *:s into many avenues. There wore amazing points oi view and the discussion was very successful, even hough Billington repre­ sentatives wore rather quiet. When out to the vote it was decided in favour of the oppo-ition, by six votes to four. Tho meeting wns also voied a great success. For our next meeting on December 0th there is to be demonstration of various trophic* in the Billington Rovers Den. And tho January .mooting will be a film-lecture on the World Rover Afoot in Sweden. Ti'is will bp very interesting and there is the possibility of all you lay people, who are sufficiently interested in Scouting to spend time reading our “ Note*.” being invited to attend the cinema show. Each Rover Crow is to “ rai*e the wind ” sufficient to bring the film from London to Clitberoe.


.1 do not think I ever told you about tho


BcLev swimming competition, which is now old nows. But this year the rules varied and each district had to provide a team of four for the event, eaeh team to bo of one troop. Consequently we were repre­ sented by the team from the Grammar School, who put up quite a good showing. There were five teams in the competition, which consi-ts of a -quadron relay, each member having to swim one length of tho bath. .With Great Harwood wo received full handicap allowed and came in third, Blackburn defeating Burnley .by a practical margin. If next year we possess the same team, our results may be even better.


to eliampagno this is often nothing more stimulating than cider. On some occa­ sions actors use drinks to help them live their parts, and there are many amusiii" stories of performers being given real whisky on the stago by leg-pulling col­ leagues, and choking over its strength. There is the famous tale of the well known actor, who was “ treated ” to cold tea by a teetotal stage-manager, spitting out a mouthful of this synthetic stimulant and demanding to know if they wanted to poison him?


IDEAS FOR YOUR NOTEBOOK. WHEN BAKING CUSTARD.


When baking custard, stand the dish con­


taining it in a tin of cold water. The custard will then cook more gradually without forming whey, and so will not curdle.


TO WATERPROOF. SHOES. To waterproof shoes, remove all mud and


dust from the soles and welts, and see tlint tho soles are cjuite dry. Warm about 2-ozs. of castor oil and apply, it to the welts and soles before a fire. Work the oil well in, taking care not tn touch the uppers. Lenvo to soak in, and then give two more .applications. Stand the shoes in a warm place for 24'liours. This treat­ ment will keep the shoes waterproof in tho wettest weather. A single (pat' should be applied every 10 days. Suede leather is not suitable for this treatment.


tive gathering for tho civic procession last* Sunday, our customary presence adding colour to the proceedings. Once again uo had our D.S.A1. with us, and altogether ur numbers would he about fifty. Castle Group, Clitberoe ‘Parish Church and Grammar School were all represented and performed quito well considering that this is the only occasion when wo nro similarly “ on parade.” Some of us have great aversion to marching thus, hut our loyalty to the town is all tho move evident in overcoming this dislike!


I was pleased to hear Mr. F. Dugdnlo


include “ Scouting” as one of tho aids lo a better world-understanding, when ho spoko to the Armistice meeting last Sunday.
