The whole thing can be stored in a space four by six feet, except the return way for tin- balls, and that is de termined by the size of the field or room in which tne machine ie located. The machine is driven by an electric motor which turns a «crew into the gear that draw« an arm back until it auto matically catches Uie ball returned by a run way, from the screen in front of the field.

Tlie whole tiling ia done automatically or mechani cally, and the only thing tlie ojierator ha« to do ia to throw it into gear. Although tlie machine has been l>aten ted for some months and iiad a try-out down al tlie Yeon Building last fall, only three or four are in actual uae. One lias gone to Toronto, one to Ht.

DRIVING THE ANIS OLI Of HOUSt AND HOMI Ants, particulary troublesome this time of year, may be controlled with considerable success by smearing a mix ture of three parte tartar emetic and four parts syrup on bite of china or wood and placing this bait about the runaway« of the ante. This is a clow acting poison, of which the ants eat enough to poison tbemeelvee and also carry away enough to poison their young In this way the entire colony may be extrrminated. Where it ie possible to locate the colonies outside the house the ants may be exterminated by the carbon bisul phide treatment. For killing off a large, well established colony, about an ounce of carbon bisulphide is required. It ie placed in a shallow dish on the open ing of the colony runaway an 1 covered with a galvanized tub or other vessel that ie inverted over the dish. All openings from the colony not covered by the tub should be closed with dirt preseed down slightly. The gas then formed ie allowed to act for about eix hour», when the treatment is applied to another colony. The action of the bisulphide ia thus explained by Professor A. L. Lovett, assistant entomoligiet of the Oregon Agricultural College, who prepared the foregoing recommendations. The bi sulphide is obtained in liquid form, which, upon exposure to the air, ie transformed to gas. The gas is heavier than air and penetrates down to the verv bottom of the colony home, where its deadly propertie« destroy the ante. If the colonies are near a tree care should be taken that not too much is used or it might injure the tree. The gas is highly inflammable and must not be opened near a fire, nor exposed to smoking. What is undoubtedly the best fair ever carried through at the County Fair Grounds at Gresham is now under way and will continue till Saturday night. Never before.has there been such a profunion ot exhibits of nil classes. Although the show space was consKier- ably enlarged this year every available 1 spot has been filled and a considerable part of the offering* could not be dis played. The manager of tbe County Farm at Troutdale came with a good aized display and it was impossible to provide him space.
