It may be eaten raw, in the way we do; it may be dried in ovens or in the sun and then ground down into flour and after hte addition of. spices and sugar, worked up into paste, which is often put aside and kept for months together. The fruit is also very good if peeled, split donw the centre and baked with a little butter and sugar. The peel,.too, of the banana stock, being of a spongy .starchy character, is pressed into man's service. It is pounded and boiled and" thus forms a very nutritious food. ! The young shoots cooked make a palatable vegetable, while the fruit boiled in its earlier green stage is a really excellent addition to any dinner. A pleasant drink something after the style of cider is also obtained from the banana by expressing and fermenting the juice. In the tropics, we have seen, it is the staple food of millions, but it might also, if properly treated, take .similar rank with us. It is scarcely ever realized that as a form of nutriment it can claim first place among vegetable products that are food for mankind, for it is twenty-five times as nutritive as the ordinary wheat bread saten in this country and forty-four times as nutritive as the potato, thus, far outweighing the wheat or the potato Ta! food values.. Hence on this account its position as a fundamental food or breadstuff is amply justified. 0. Clarke Nuttall, Longman's Magazine London.

OrlticLsew Commissioner. He criticised Market Commissioner R. C. Abbott for his criticism of evaporators and assailed tho farmers for trying to hold them up. "Farmers could make a profit out of potatoes at $8 a ton at )ne time," HAIR SEALS ARE ACTIVE Hair seals are particularly active in the Fraser river at present, when tne spring s.almon is making its Arst ap- he said. "They can make a profit out pearance for the season. Ot recent years there have been, few springs caught, and their scarcity makes the ravages of the seal more apparent than ever. Frank Picknoll, a veteran fisherman says the seals "his year are so bold that 'they put their f-iat on the boat and fight you.' All the fishermen agree that it' is all DUt use- itSFj to east a not nowaday, hii.-.ause the moment a salmon strike'*? the net a seal rushes for it and it becomes a race between the fishermen and the soal, with the chances, on the lat- ts-r.

Mr. McFarlane Indicated that no contracts wil be made until growers are wlUTtig to accept ?1"j a ton. This is a matter of the greatest moment to potato growers, in the opinion of students of Mia situation, because it all depends upon the evaporators whether they will be able to dispose of their potatoes or will have a big surplus on hand. All reuorts indicate that there is little or no llke- ilhod of an export market fiis yo-ir- such as was available a year i.-;o.
