fill your pipe witk cut plug it satisfies if you lollyour own ask for surnames and their origin make effort to learn flight line of geese an interesting experiment with wild canada geese is being carried out at the central experimental farm ot tawa by officers of tho poultry divi sion of the department of agriculture and of the canadian national parks branch of the department of the in terior this experiment is carried on to secure valuable information con cerning the habits of these birds and it is hoped that it will result in hav ing large flocks of these geeso rest on dows lake an expansion of the ri- deau canal near tho farm duriti their migrations north and south next year jack miner the well known and original investigator of wild goose life is assisting the government of ficials in the experiment four wild canada geese caught on his sanctuary at kingsville ontario early in may were wingclipped and sent to the cen tral experimental farm and these to gether with five goslings raised this year by four captivj canada geese at the farm are being used in the ex periment each of the geese caught by mr miner wears one of his bands these bands bear a scriptural text and his address tho inscription on one of these reading the word of the lord ondureth forever 1 peter 125 write box 46 kingsville ont the other bands bear differcn passagesand tho address the birds havo also been banded with the official numbered band of tho series in use by both the canadian and united states authori ties for marking wild birds the goslings which aro now full grown havo been placed with the miner geese and the flock makes re peated trips to dows lake with tho period for southern migration noarlng those interested in the experiment are watching the birds to see whether the younger geese will follow their older companions or will remain at the farm with their parents it is hoped they will go south and return in the spring with more of their kind pos sibly to stop at dows lake on their northern journey ono danger is that these birds may drop in with domestic ducks and geese unsuspecting any danger if wild geese bearing binds as described join any domestic flocks between ottawa and the south atlantic coast or be- j tween ottawa and the mouth of tho i mississippi river depending upon i which route they follow it is hoped that they will not be killed but allow ed to resume their journey it is de- sired to learn as much as possible of their travels if therefore persons who hear of any of these birds or insects as policemen the worlds most novel police force is probably that which is being trained by a london scientist it consists of insects they are bred and trained in a laboratory at baiham to fight against and kill other insects which destroy or harm crops for instance caterpillars can be pre vented from ruining trees and so on by turning against them hordes of other caterpillars trained to have can nibal instincts so that they will fight and eat pests the inventor of this aid to farmers and gardeners is mr crabbe one of his greatest successes is the produc tion of a slugtiger this creature called a testocella has very sharp jaws with which it pierces the slugs and eats them almost any kind of insect pest can befought by other insects and as time goes on it may be possible to make the process of destruction absolutely na tural that is to say the insectkillers will breed without any assistance from science ferguson variation farquhar racial origin scottish source a given name the family names ferguson and farquhar sound tery little alike yet they are virtually the same name or iginating as given names in ancient ireland being brought to scotland as such and there under both english and medieval clerical latin influences developing respectively into the fore going forms of family names the name of fergus figures pro minently in the gaelic myths legends and history of the prechristian era but the spelling fearghus is a closer approximation as it was spelled with the old irish alphabet about the period 200 ad before ireland became christianized there was a great exodus of expeditions of conquest and colonization from the north of ireland to scotland the irl3h clans which settled in scotland or alba as they called it then were the progenitors of the present gaelic portion of the scottish race for the most part highlanders this name which was compounded of two gaello words with a meaning of manly deed developed in scot land into the form fearschar in many instances from which tho latinized version farquhardus was taken later being shortened into farquhar the addition of the anglosaxon ending son to the celtic name fer gus a much more common mixture of tongues in scotland than in ireland of
