Everton, of.Okanagan  college, Summeqand, visited the  Boundary -district this week. Monday afternoon he motored to Phoenix', with C. M. Campbell, of the  Granby Mining company, an old  Manitoba university class-mate _of  his. The works at the mines were  visited, and on return for an evening address at Grand Forks, Principal Everton declared enthusiastically that.-'That was the fiaest trip  and the grandest sight I have had  in this tour.\"_ Tuesday morning he  was shown through the Granby  smelter by Superintendent Bishop,  and left on the C.P.R 4 o'clock  train for the balance of his tour  through the province. Mr Everton  was much impressed with the agricultural, mining and other iudustri  al developments of this place and the  splendid valley\" surrounding the  Gateway City. By appointment of  the British Columbia Baptist convention, recently held in Vancouver,  he is \"out\" in the interests of the  educational and missionary work of.  this board. He thinks the outlook  bright for this district; has gathered  a number of views of the Forks,  Phoenix and surrounding country,  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and will boost the Boundary and  Kootenay, as well as tbe other inland parts of Ibis province, already  familiar to him.  Principal Everton's Monday evening address was to an informal par  lor gathering at tbe residence of Rev.  Charles W. King, when he gave an  interesting review of the British  Columbia June convention and lold  his hearers more especially of the  great missionary and educational  enterprise with which he was offie-  nliy connected.. He spoke with considerable earnestness of the close  connection the. present European  conflict had with the Christian work  everywhere, and pointed out tbat  British Columbia churches and  Christian schools of learning were  among the foremost to suffer This,  not only because of-the lack of employment and fluctuation of population, but because of the large con:  tribution of men and money these  organizations were making, directly  and indirectly, to the empire in this  time of stress. Such work, therefore, needed and merited a loyal and  steady support. Besides five young  med now at work on mission fields  and others matriculating into arts  work, Okanagan college, last year,  had sent out fifteen of its itudents  to do duty at the front. These, all  athletes, had been trained in tbe  physical as well as the mental gymnasium of the school, and he had no  <loubt as the efficiency of their work.  A full-orbed spiritual, mental and  physical manhood and  womanhood  j for the first time the year 1915 was  begun without an overdraft from  the Union and twenty-six churches  had been established, and there had  been .an increase of 1,000 in tbe  schools over last year. '. The convention expressed itself warmly in appreciation of the gallantry and . patriotism of the Canadian overseas  troops; called* for Dominion representation on international peace  councils; the closing down of the  drink traffic until the end of the  war, to b6 followed by a peoples'  mandate on the question of temperance.  result of jon  e:  A Study in Soil Cultivation  An exceptionally valuable bulletin  to those interested in soil culture is  No. 38, \"Field Husbandry: Summary  of Results,\" issued by the division of  field husbandry of the\" experimental  farms, and that can be had by application to the publications branch, department of agriculture, Ottawa, lie-  ports are'given of work carried on at  the central and branch farms aud stations. The results of experiments in  rotation of crops furnish information  of great value. These experiments  cover a prriod of eleven years and the  results with advice founded thereupon  are set forth in the bulletin according  to'years.- Following are a few of the  benefits given as derived from adopting ajudicious system of rotation:  1. The appearance of the farm is  improved.  2. Every field receiving at. regular intervals its fair share of manure  and cultural treatment, the entire  farm is in a condition to ensure a  maximum yield.  3. Cost is lowered by the saving of  time due to all the work of a kind being confined to one field;  4. Fewer fences are raquired  5\". Machinery cau be more economi  cally utilized. -  6.. More livestock-can be kept, thus  fncreasing the quantity of available  manure.  7. Profits and yields are increased.  8. The farm is not dependent upon  a single crop.  9. Permits of a more even distribution of the season's labor.  Following details of the rotations  that are outlined is a summary of the  characteristics common to all:  1. Grain fields are always seeded  down with clover, even though it ta  used_only as a fertilizer..  2^ Grass and clover seeding.-* are  heavy. Increased crops of hay and  rare\"failures of a catch have justified  them.  3. Hoed crops form a large proportion of every rotation. An attempt  to farm a small area without a hoed  crop was not successful. Weeds could  not readily be kept in check.  4. No field is left in hay   for   more  than two successive   years.     The rec  ords show that the second crop almost  always   costs  more   per ton than the  first, and that  succeeding   crops   are <  liable to be grown at a loss.

Joint Installation of Rebekahs  Between twenty nnd twenty-five  of the members of Grand Forks Banner Lodge No. 25, Rebekahs, journeyed to Phoenix on Wednesday  night by automobile conveyance  and participated in a joint   inetalla  which is now .being.demonstrated,  is recorded by the Philadelphia  Public Ledger.  During a military review at Al-  dershot last summer one of the foreign attaches had made himself obnoxious to several staff office-is by J  asking ridiculous and often impertinent questions. Turning to an old  infantry officer, he said:  \"How is it, colonel, that your  bugle call, 'Advance,' is so short,  while the 'Retreat'is just the reverse?\"  \"Because, sir,\" replied the veteran, ''when a British soldier goes into  action it only needs a single note  from a bugle to make bini advance  anywhere, but it takes a whole brass  baud to make him retire.'  During the summer months is the  time when much can be done to prevent \"fire or pear-blight\" from be  coming serious. It costs iittle to remove all dead twigs or limbs in the  summer, when they will show up well;  and the doing of this prevents a lot of  serious damage. Fire blight, black  rot and other Iruit diseases will de  slroy   twigs,   and, if  not   removed in  the.other band, it   is   probable that  battleships and battle  cruisers    vill  not hereafter be supplied   with   torpedoes.     Since    actions   are   now  fought   at   enormous   ranges,   and  since vessels can be sunk by gunfire  alone, topedoes on big-gun ships a.ie  now useless.    Omitting the torpedo  tube   will   save little weight, but it  save space  for  more   ammunition.  The   Engineer   also   suggests   that  high-speed   rams   with     bows    of  proper shape and requisite  strength  to   sink    an    underwater craft   will  again come Into use.  Orders have been received at th^  central mobilization camp, Vernon,  to send forward for overseas service  tbe\"draft of 250 men selected from  tbe 54th Kootenay battalion, and  this fine body of picked troops will  leave tomorrow on thvir first leg of  their journey to the fighting line  says the Vernon News ..f tlie loth  inst.

As has been remarked by -Mr. Hill,  \"instead of preserving the fertility of  their lands, the farmers have gone in  search of new soils to.be skinned, robbed and abandoned as\" soon as the  community I old showed signs of exhaustion.

We hava  here an illustration of the truth of,  Lord Bacon's observation that \"The  principal thing that' hath: been,-.the  destruction'ol! most plantations hath  been the base and .hasty 'drawing of  profit  in^the  first years  j City  of  New  York  Adopts the   Model  j Purchasing Methods of the  | C.P.R.  |     Nothing   iu   municipal   history   ex-  ! cited   more   interest   than   the  recent  adoption by the city of New yfork of  the  C.P.R.   method     of   \"purchasing  supplies.    New York \"orders for municipal   purchases   total   ?2L'.000   worth  of goods   each   year   aud   found   that,  there     was   much     duplication   and  waste, some of the departments pay  ing retail prices  for the same goods  as were purchased  whole.;ale--..bv others-    UndertheCP.lt. .system'everything is centralized so as lo cut out  the possibility of duplication either in  purchase or payment of goods,  while  ihe terms are. naturally all the \".more  in favor    of the railway.    New York  City sent a special investigator round  the   Continent   to   study   methods   of  purchasing .supplies,    and \" he decided-  that     the   CP.lt.   system   was   \"the  best for efficiency and saving..''    This  was   .naturallv    the  source of much  gratification to    Sir    Thomas Shaugh-  nessy,' who   was himself at ono time  purchasing agent for the C.P.K., and  established  the present system.    The  New     York     expert  investigator  has  been  busy ever since answering letters from other American municipalities.    They  pour   in-    at  the  rate  of  about a hundred a week, all wanting  to  know about    ihe  C.P.R.   and  its  model purchasing department, with a  view to the adopting of similar metli-,  ods in other cities.    It has been calculated  that the adoption of C.P.R.  methods by American cities has saved'!  Uncle Sam a  waste of over a billion  dollars-  rin of   'the Canadian shield  v  Plain !

The second is the souther:! portion of the  plains in the provinces of Manitoba,  Saskatchewan and eust\"rn Ali.'ferta.  These, in referring to the physiographic divisions of Canada, were  classed together as the Great  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd   of Centra! Canada.    \/  Many of the estimates -which have  been \"made of the amount of land  which is suitable for farming in the  Dominion arc undoubtedly too high.  A recent writer has stated that \"a  conservative arid easily grasped statement is I hat t'ne farm lands of Canada, would fill a strip of country the  width of Franco and 3,000 miles  long.\" Canada is :;,000 miles across  from ocean to ocean and France 400  miles wide. This would give to the  farming land of the Dominion an area  of 1.200,000 square miles! If anyone  who is well acquainted with Canada  will draw a'line parallel to the southern boundary, of Canada but 100 miles  distant from it, ho will find that there  is not very r.iii.u farming land to the  north of this line, while there are vast  tracts of country or. which we would  be very sorry to'be obliged to engage  in  farming to the south of it.  Another authority states that the  area of land \"which is used for farming  and grazing purposes in the Dominion at the present time may be set  down at 50,000,000 acres and that a  conservative estimate would make the  area available for these purposes six  times as great, that is to say, .'!00,000,-  000 acres or about 470,000 square  miles. This smaller estimate, which  includes not only farming but grazing  land, is probably too low but nearer  the truth.  We do not. require, however, to resort to exaggeration to convey an adequate   impression   of    our   immense  wealth  in agricultural lands.  We certainly have in Canada abundant  to support. :i population of many  lions\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda  people  who  will be not  numnrous  but   who  should   have  sturdy   manhood   whien     has  always  characterized flip populations of northern countries.  If. however, this great, heritage is to  bo transmitted unimpaired to succeeding gent-rations of Canadians, we  must improve our methods of farming  and follow (he example sol by other  countries from whom we have now  much lo learn. Good land will support a dense population and can be  made to do so without losing'lts fertility, but only hy intelligent and intensive cultivation. The greatest  farming community In the world is  that which lives on the rich delta  lauds of cent'ral and southern China.  Prof- King, of the University of Wisconsin, who, when in (,'hina'made an  exhaustive study of Ihe methods of  farming there adopted, has reported  that these people have, during the  long se'rlss of centuries in which they  have tilled thc lai.d. developed such  a perfect system of agriculture that  he could see no way in which  western  science could  materially aid  W.

The last .'time he was  there was on a buffalo shooting expedition, and he recalls trapping fur-bearing animals of the wilds on the very  spot which is now'the heart of the  city. Within the span of an ordinary  memory the buffalo rutis have .given  way to the tracks of the electric car,  and some 80,000.people are now living  on the very spot where this old-timer  used to set his traps. '  Fa-rm'njin the Ngl-.1i  Wheat  From  the  Peace  River 'Valley  of Good Quality  When Lhe (janl report or Sir Sand (or J  Fleming, as chief engineer of the Canadian racilic Railway, was published  thirty-eight   years   ago,   it   furnished  the   Canadians   of  that   tiina   with   a  mass of new but scientific,information  regarding    the area now  included  in  the province of Alberta.    The surveyor's   reports showed,   that  among   U.13  various   \"passes\"   through   the  Rocky  .Mountains that might, he used in  tho  const ruction     of   .1   transcontinental  railway,     three   were  mere  availabls  than any of the others; tho one used  !p.t;-i-   for   the   Canadian   Pacific  main  liiH-    the    ne used quite recently for  the   National   Transcontinental \" and  Canadian Northern lines, r.jjd the, one  through  which  the  Peace  River  runs  from west, of the Rockies'east lowa'H  Lake Athabasca.    Of these three  the  first-was,  from  a  railway  engineer's  viewpoint, the most difficult, while the  Peace   River  valley   was  the  easiest-  The only objection to the last named  was   its   far  north   location,   and   Sir  Sand ford's choice ultimately  was  the  middle   pass,   known   as   tho   Yellow  Head.  During this long interval of time  it has been matter of common knowledge (hat there is in the Peace River  district, cast' of the Rocky Mountains, an extensive area of good, dr-  ablc land, that the climate is favorable, and that much: of the country is  well watered by nature. This view of  its capabilities for agricultural purposes is corroborated by the recent  information that a carload of \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'wheat  grown there has arrived in Winnipeg,  and  that the grain is of good quality  Saskatchewan's -Wcol -Clip  How to Pack and Ship Fleeces to Get  Benefit   of   Co-Operative  Marketing  Saskatchewan  expac.ts    to    market,  co-operative,    at least. 100,000 pounds  of wool., from the clip of .Ll\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd15.

ForEJookof flicEyefrceask  JJruggists ox Murine Eye Remedy Co., Chicago  A choice between starvation or merciless torture is the dismal prospect  before all victims of indigestion, for  although they are in need of food to  nourish the body, they- are afraid to  eat .because of- the long periods of  pa inland discomfort that follow even  the slightest of mpi.ls.  The-urgent need of all who suffer  from indigestion is to gain strength  so that the stomach can extract nourishment from- thc food taken. Pain'  after eating is the way the stomach  signifies its protest that it is too weak  to do nature's work. To take purgatives is only to aggravate the trouble.  Dr; Williams' Pink Pills give new  strength to weak stomachs because  they, enrich and purify the blood supply tints enabling the stomach to digest food naturally. Almost from the  first tlie appetite revives; : then food  can be taken without pain and the  burden of indigestion disappears. The  following case proves the truth of  these statements. I\\Ir. W. H. Silver, a  well known farmer living ':iii the vicinity of Heniford, M.S.,..says: \"For  upwards of seven years I was tortured  with indigestion: sometimes I was so  bad that I would not taste a bit of  hearty food, but would have to content  myself with a bit of stale bread. At  times I suffered excruciating pains in  my stomach, and r-buld hardly sleep  at night. I tried various prescriptions  but got no benefit from them and naturally I was in a very reduced state  of health. 1 had come to believe that  I was, doomed for the balance of my  life to\" this most constant torture,  when I read of a case similar to my  own. cured through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. This gave me new  courage and I decided to try them,. To  make a long story short, the use f'l  the Pills for a couple of months completely cured me. This\" is some two  years ago, and-1 have had no return  of the trouble, and am able to eat as  hearty a meal as anyone.\"  You can get Dr. Williams' Pink  Pills through your medicine dealer or.  by mail at 50 cents a box or \"six boxes  for ?2.:\"0 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

Under  the act, if a homesteader dies, before  completing'duties further residence is  waived, but cultivation is necessary.  The order in council also provides  for any homesteader serving with thc  Canadian, British or allied ; forces  counting active service as residence.

It is especially the food to make a  weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner.  \"I am f>7 years old.\"' writes a grandmother, \"and have had a weak stomach from childhood.

'Forest Planting  A   French     Experiment    to   Reclaim  'Waste Land That Proved a  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSuccess  A very striking example of this is  seen in'the district of the Landes in  southwestern- \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-France.'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe sands  thrown up on the seashore in the vicinity of Bordeaux and southward  drifted in on the farmyards and yin?-  yards to .the east, gradually covering  and destroying these and resulting in  a condition'of sand ,hills or dunes  moving slowly under the influence of  the wind, with stretches of marsh bo-1  tween them. On these sand hills anff*  marshes grew a scanty vegetatio.'.  which, provided pasturage for a few  sheep which were looked after by the  shepherds who have often been described walking over the hills and  through the marshes on- stilts watch-  jng their sheep and sometimes busily  knitting in\/order to add to the value  of their time- Agriculture was impossible in the district and this grazing  which was very poor and carried but  a small number of stock was all the  use that could be made of this extensive and increasing sand area. In  the year 17SS steps were taken by the  French government to ascertain what  could be done to 'improve conditions  here, and a policy of forest planting  was decided on with the resulf that  these sand wastes have been almost  entirely planted up with Maritime  pine which produces a very valuable  harvest of resin during the life of tlie  tree while the wood afterwards is  used for paving blocks in Paris, for  props for coal mines in England and  Wales, and for other purposes. Tn fact  one part of the shortage of mine props  in Great Britain at the present time is  due to the fact that the supply could  not be obta'ined from northern France  on account of the scarcity of labor  owing to the men having been called  out to 'join the army. It will be remembered that there was a. deputation  from the British government in Canada recently looking into the question  of the possibility of obtaining a'supply  of'pit props in Canada to cover the  shortage from the Baltic as well as_  from France.  The effect on the population of this  reforestation work' is shown by the  fact that in the parishes of La Teste  and Cazeaux, in this district, the population before reforestation was :l,G0O  and is now H,000, and considerable  areas have been brought under cultivation owing to the improved conditions resulting from the fixing of thc  sand dunes.

A party of prominent Canadian  Pacific railway officials arrived in  the city by special train about 10  o'clock last night from the west,  after having made a trip of inspection over the Kettle Valley line  front Merritt to Midway. Among  those in the party were Vice-President Bury, Grant HJ1, Chief Engineer Sullivan, F, W. Peters, District  Superintendent W. 0. Miller and a  number of other gentlemen. A stop  of half an hour was made at this  point, and then the train left for  Nelson.  A very meritorious scheme was  formulated in this city a couple of  days ago. The proposition is to secure twenty men willing to subscribe  850 each, and with this money purchase a machine .gun for the Canadian troops. The originators of the  scheme say that a sufficient number  of men have already been found in  the city who have expressed tbeir  willingness, to make the required  contribution to warrant the belief  that the project is feasible.  !  Sir Richard's Submarines  So far as purchasing some means  ' of defence is concerned, it is quite  possible Sir Richard could make out  a good case for himself. Seeing that  his political friends at Ottawa had  reversed the policy of their predecessors and dropped the idea of a  Canadian navy, we can understand  Sir Richard's alarm at the defence-  1 ss condition of the Pacific province and excuse him if he tried to  make up for the criminal neglect of  tbe government at Ottawa. But  that is not what the \"Grit villifiert.\"  found fault with. The tpoint was  that two boats which had been built  for Chiie, and which.-had been rejected by that country as not up to  requirements, were purchased by Sir  Richard at a sum largely in excess  of what Chile would have paid for  them if they had been properly constructed. And the report current at  the time that the payment was made  in two cheques, one for the builder  of the boats, and one for somebody  else, cast further suspicion on the  transaction.  Instead of being indignant over  criticisms which he claims were unjust, Sir Richard might very proper  ly welcome an investigation and  wait patiently for the result. He  says he wants it; then he should certainly have it. The commission  now sitting in Ottawa, and dealing  with the known grafters, can very  properly attend to the suspected  grafters. Sir Richard unloaded bis  boats on the Dominion government,  and Canada pays for them. Premiers  can be investigated as well as drug  clerks. If Sir Richard can show  that he paid a fair price for tbe  boats, and was not aiding grafters  in the transaction, criticism will  cease. Whether his judgment was  sound or not might be questioned by  some; but if he were honesf, even  though mistaken, that is all we can  expect. Our public men will make  blunders at times, but we can   par-  Charles Hamilton,, who is in  charge of the work on Ihe C. P.

TORONTO, ONT  WINNIPEG .    MONTREAL  Breeding Hardy Clovers  Method to be Used in  Improving the  Hardiness   of  Plants  Red clover; being a self-sterile  plant, new varieties an<l strains must;  be produced by means of muss-selection and hybridization respectively.  When breeding red clover, three  qualities particularly should be taken  into consideration, viz.: winter-hardiness, quantity of seed, and yield of  hay.  It has been proven in cereals which,  like red clover, consist of thousands  of distinct types, that resistance to  disease and hardiness are hereditary  characters subjected to the same  general laws of heredity as govern  the transmission from a mother-plant  to its proge'ny, of strictly morphological characters. It is therefore very  reasonable to suspect that winter  hardiness is red clover is a hereditary  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd character that \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ca . be transmitted  from one parent plr nt to its progeny.  If this be the case, it will be a simple matter to produce a variety able  to' withstand, without being killed to  any extent, the most severe Canadian  winter. The task could be accomplished by sowing seed from those  individuals which survive after a  severe winter and which, therefore,  according to our conception, represent  hardly '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"lines\" or strains. After sowing the seed thus saved', a progeny  may be expected that will prove  hardier than was the parent crop originally sown, and by saving the seed  year after year, a perfectly hardy-  variety will soon be obtained. This  method of improving the hardiness  is simply mass-selection effected by  nature herself.  Corns cannot exist when Holloway's  Corn Cure is applied to them, because  it goes to the roct and kills the  growth.

The hay is  fed long and the oats and bran in tho  proportion of live parts oats to two  parts bran;' mixed and fed dry. Warm  bran mashes five to six pounds per  horse, a.re used on Saturday nights to  replace the regular bran ration.  When horses are on very heavy work,  the proportion of bran is decreased t,o  one part for live parts oats.  A safe standard for feeding dra-.ight  horses, and one commonly used,  is that of giving from one to one  and quarter pounds of the above  grain mixture and one pound of hay  for each 100 pounds'live weight; this,  of course, subject to variation depending on the severity of work, condition of animal when fed, the health  of animal,' and othtr minor considerations,  v \"  The morning feed, about 5 a.m.,  consists of about three-eighths of the  total grain mixture and one-quarter  of the grain-and about one-half the  hay for the day.

Prohibition Causes Increased Savings  A report from Petrograd says that  M. Kharitonoff, comptroller of the  Russian treasury, speaking before the  Duma budget committee, declared that  owing to the great increase in national savings, due to prohibition, the extraordinary outlay occasioned by the  war a.s-yet had caused no great suffering in Russia.  As proof of this M. Kharitonoff said  the national savings in December,  191\", which amountea to 700,000  roubles ($350,000), had increased to  211,100.000 roubles ($.1.4,550,000) in December, 1911. He added that the total  savings for 191\"''amounted'to 21,000,-  000 roubles ($17,000,000), as compared  with 84,000,000 roubles ($42,000,000)  for 1914.  - Miller's Worm Powders were devised to promptly relieve children'who  suffer from the ravages of worms.

British \"chamber of commerce  Journal. In synthetic drugs Germany,  it is true, had before the war established an ascendancy, but the manufacture of drugs; direct from plants  has always been a British industry  and for drugs of this kind Germany  lias iu some cases had to come to this  country for supplies. There lias, however, been a notable exception in the  case of the well known alkaloids, atropine  and hyoscyamine.  The Imperial Institute has now  brought the matter again before home  drug manufacturers. The matter is  of special importance, because present requirements for atropine, particularly those of the army, have depleted  the market, the price has increased  four fold,- and there is, therefore, a  very good opportunity for , British  firms'to take up Uu manufacture of  this drug. At the moment, owing to  Germany having at the beginning of  the war effected heavy pur-chases of  hyoscyamus, there is a .difficulty iu  obtaining large supplies from Egypt.  The Imperial Institute has, however,  taken all possihle steps to encourage  further production, and an ample supply will be available iu due course,  especially as tho cultivation of the  plant is now being arranged for  on waste lands in Egypt..

GRAND   FORKS,    B. C,  IM*  THE BRITISH ACCOMPLISHED MAGNIFICENT WORK  Huge Task Involved in Successfully Handling the Situation when  Two Hundred  Thousand   Homeless - Belgians  were  Landed on England's Shores  Leaving it for thc historians to decide- whether the British nation used  Belgium as a cat's paw, a writer in  the New York Tribune says there can  be no'-doubt that the British people accomplished a magnilicent piece of  work when they welcomed some 200,-  000 Belgian refugees, most of whom  landed on England's.shore with only  the clothes they wore. These wretched people had to le fed, clothed a,u:l  provided with homes. The work had  to be done before the realization was  ready for :'. The government was  ovcrwhelemd with other matters, and  bo it was left to voluuteers to solve  these unprecedento.l problems. For  the success of the work much credit  is due to Mr. 0. E..Whittaker,' a former newspaperman, who, on account of  a slight astigmatism, was rejected by  a recruiting officer, and so, determined to help in some way, he found himself chief of the operating force of  the Belgian relief committee. Mr.  Whitlaker is now in New York in  the hope that his shattered health  may be restored.  - The committee formed to aid tho  government in caring for the Belgians  began by employing a secretary and  establishing him in two small rooms.  The deluge imniediutely overwhelmed  him and swamped his quarters. It was  plain that a'large staff and a whole  huilding would be required for the  mere clerical work. Thirty typewrit-'  ers were neeued for the correspondence, which quickly rose to 2,000 letters a day. Mr. Whitlaker says that  more than fifty clerks worked like galley slaves for ten days before they  headed the stream of letters. Another  fifty were employed upon the card indexes of invitations and refugees.  Then as the work kept growing upon  the laborers it was necessary to ask  for some- government help- Several  renovated workhouses,and other public buildings.not in use were turned  over to the committee, and these with  the private houses offered proved sufficient for the purpose.  The idea of the committee was, of  course, not only to keep !\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd?. Belgians  permanently in any government building, but to get them distributed with  private families throughout the kingdom. The response of the British  people to the appeal to offer temporary homes for the Belgians was impressive. The trouble was thr.t. whi--s  offers were numerous, the committee  had to take the greatest care that the  Belgians billeted upcr. these homes  should be congenial, ana that their  hosts' would try to take no advantage  of their destitution.    Some  few peo  ple wrote in offering to employ competent Belgian domestic servants at  about one-quarter of the w.ages that  they would have to pay English maids  Among the Belgians, too, it was found  that there were' some who could not  be trusted safely without surveillance.  The refugees were divided into three  classes, and . billeted upon hosts of  corresponding classes. There wore  the professional people, officers and  ..university professors, the middle  classes, and tlie peasants. Mr. Wliit-  taker remarks that one of the greatest  difficulties in outfitting the third class  was that the English shoes were not  large enough. Used to wearing sabots  all their lives tlie feet of hundreds of  these refugees could hardly be compressed into the largest English shoes.  Another difficulty was that as the  rai.ways were all under military control, the committee rarely had more  than forty minutes' notice of the arrival of a new host of refugees. The.i  the motor busses would have to dash  at great speed to the railroad station  lo meet the immigrants. They would  be convcyott immeciatciy to one of  several large, buildings, '-'where they  could be fed, bathed and supplied with  food. Many ot them came literally  empty handed; but some had broug\"*.U  all their impedients. Wheelbarrows  were prominent. The Antwerp Jews  brought vanloads of house furniture,  thus creating ono of the most pathe-  was essentially one of the most pathetic incidents of the war.  Thc day after thC'fall of Antwerp  the committee had \"to care for 6,000  Belgians. Three-quarters of them were  women and children. There were several cases of women givinr; 'birth to  children within a few hours, after  their arrival. Some Belgian babies  were born on the boat that carried  them to England, some on the train  that brought them to London- A staff  of doctors was as necessary as a^sfaff  of clerks or cooks. However, thanks  lo thc generosity of the British people  and the hard, systematic work of the  committee,-the great task'was accomplished. At one time there threatened  to be trouble with the labor unions,  which objected to Belgians being employed as their competitors. However,  this was averted, and in the Vickers-  Maxini arr.enal alone there are 3,000  skilled Belgians employed. Thousands  of these Belgian refugees, no doubt,  will remain permanently in Great  Britain, the horrors of what they have  endured making it impossible that  they could ever again live in security  and comfort next door to Germany.  Edison is Making Dyes  to  Inventor     Urges ~  Manufacturers  Break German  Monopoly  Thomas'A. Edison has predicted  that the United States would soon be  manufacturing its own dyes, aud that  the so-called famine in dyes, due to  the war, was about to end. At his  plant at Silver Lake, N.J-, he said, he  had already made large quantities'\"'of  the best aniline dyos, and he asserted  that it was only necessary for textile  manufacturers to follow his example  to break the monopoly which-Germany has hitherto had in the dye  industry.  \"Since the outbreak of the war,\"  he said, \"I have been making carbolic  acid, aniline oil, aud benzol. The last  sold at 20 cents a gallon before the  war. Today manufacturers are paying 60 to 75 cents. Aniline oil was  selling at 11 to 12 cents a pound before the war. Now it is up to 70  cents. I am not making very much  money in this line, but I thought I  would at least make the start, and  I hope some of these timid Americans  who lack backbone to father a movement worth while will now come  along and follow suit.  \"The Germans controlled the trade  to such a degree that no one else  gave much thought to it. But the  textile men in this country need not  be worried. We can make for them  all the primary colors they wish, and  more, too. What we need most is a  protective law such as Canada has.

Adams,  city solicitor dealt with the situation  in regard to the insolvent,Great West  Wood, Iron and Chemical Company.  He stated what the city was- doing  at the present time, first as having  guaranteed the principal arid interest  on\/the debenture issue of $125,000,  arid, second, as a creditor of the Great  West for the value of certain boilers,  electric light, and water supplied to  that company. In regard to both  claims an action has been instituted  by the National Trust Company1  against F. H. Phippenj D. B. Hanna,  Hector Maclnnes, and Felix Frank,  shareholders of thc Grea': West Company\", to have these parties made liable for the sum of $499,500j or $99.-  000 each, in respect to shares issued  to them in said company. If this action is successful, and these parties  are worth that sum of money, theu  the city's interest in both these claims  will be taken care of. If the action is  successful, or if the r.etion should be  successful and the parties are not  worth that money, then the creditors  will have to look to the assets of the  Great West Company for payment.of  iheir claims.

In the  first volume are preserved the reports of the director arid \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the divisions of chemistry, field husbandry  and animal husbandry. It is*by a  study of these chronicles that an idea  can be obtaii.ed of the vast amount of  work that, is being done, and an appreciation arrived at of a resultant  good.  In the first few pages are given the  usual comparative 'tables of grain  yields and prices, and of' live stock  for the five years extending from  1909 to 19115, each of which\", excepting horses and swine, shows -a decrease in the eastern provinces since  1S10. In the western provinces there  was a deficiency of upwards of 200,-  000 cattle between tho same year  and 1913, but an increase of nearly  half a million horses and only a  slight disparity in sheep, which, however, are showing a tendency to improvement. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Swine increased by upwards ot 500,000. In British Columbia the numerical changes'were comparatively light. Naturally, much  space is'given to reports of experiments at the different farms and stations. These experiments, it is hardly  necessary to say, cover every variety  of grain, frui-t and vegetable production, as well as soil development, crop  management, cultivation . of forage  plants and grasses, live stock breeding and dairying. It would be impossible to overestimate' the importance of the information thus furnished.  Of course, at this time, when the  value of increase by improvement of  production is being strenuously urged,  the reports are of special interest.  It is not alone with what may be  termed activities of the farm proper  that they deal, but also with building, with clearing, with road-making,  with ornamental gardening. In short,  the reports constitute virtually au en-,  cyclopedia of farming and its  branches brought up to date.  , While, as has been said, volume one  is devoted to the review by the  director and reports of the divisions  of chemistry, field husbandry and animal husbandry, volume two presents  the reports of the divisions of horticulture, cereals, botany; entomology,  forage plants, poultry and tobacco.  All \"that has been said of the completeness in its contents of the first  volume can be repeated of the second.  It, too, is a useful compilation aud  a sample in detail of the benefits to  be derived from scientific and painstaking research.  As invthe preceding years, the matters dealt with in this volume are  divided into sections: (a) Giving precise information of the work at the  experimental farms in the divisions  referred to, and (b) Treating of the  various lines of experimental work  under way throughout the system. It  is explained that the latter section  is devised and designed with'a view  to aiding the farmer more directly  in the details .of his vocation. It is  worthy of wide distribution. One  thing \"certain is, that the nature of  the reports makes them deserving of  the closest attention. Copies may  be obtained by making application to  the publications branch, department  of  agriculture,   Ottawa.

During the nionh of April I lie Canadian Pacific Jtaiiway Company, department of natural resources, disposed of  practically twenty thousand acres to  actual home makers, who .will enter  into occupation and bring the land under cultivation. To be exact, there  were 124 different sales, and, allowing for the wives ;.nd children of purchasers, the month's business provides for the placing of about 500 people directly on thc land. A notable  fact is that the great majority of these  purchasers bought quarter-section  areas, indicating that they are going  into funning on a somewhat intensive  scale as compared with the \"big farm\"  method!.; popular s. few years ago.  HAVING   FAITH   IN   OUR    NATURAL    RESOURCES  ;  Sir Edmund Walker Strikes an Optimistic Note   in  Summing  the Economical Situation in Canada, and gives the Factors  of Strength that Restore Confidence  up  After analyzing carefully the elements, good and bad, making up the  Canadian situation, who can fail to be  a conservative optimist? First, the  inevitable must be faced. Half our  troubles are caused by kicking against  what is. Thc inevitable includes tlie  fact that the British empire is at  war and that sacrifices must be made:  It includes tlie fact that Canada was  due for an economic reconsideration,  whether or not the war had come. It  includes recognition of the fact that  speculative jam is not the bread and  butter of business. Having recognized  these thin;\"s, we-.are able to do business on a new plane- Exaggerated  ideas of land  values and  rentals are  disappearing  so arc  the  abuses  of  credit. A better'idea is being obtained of what constitutes a proper basis  of credit. In short, we are \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd getting  down to real business.  War, naturally enough, effects trade,  commerce, investment and business  in many directions. Thc news from  the front last week, for instance, gave  a distinct check to increasing confidence and business at home. Yet we  all know there can be only one result  to the present struggle. None won' \\  exchange his lot with that of a citizen  of an enemy conn try.--'And the'confidence we have in the empire'e fight  and in the nation's future, should be  spoken.   It should unite with the con  fidence of others. Facts cannot ba  changed by pessimism. Good sentiment plays an important part in the  maintenance of credit, of business and  of faith in a. young country's natural,  resources, its prospects and its man-'  hood.  -Money, ir. accumulating rapidly.  There is a demand for good bonds,  and a growing call for stocks. The  chartered banks, the -safety valve of  Canada, are in an excellent position.  They will extend credit where it is deserved. The agricultural prospects  are excellent. The outlook for immigration is good. The labor situation  is not bad. Canada has had little difficulty iu financing its requirements.  Tho change from the British to the  United States money market was effected without trouble. ^Mortgage  payments, both principal and interest,  are good. Economy is not being.carried to a foolish extrime. \/Manufacturers are encouraging the home demand for their goods, at the same time  seeking to increase their export trade.  New trade channel;, are being cut.  Experienced farmers from tha United  States have already commenced again  to take up lands in Western Canada.

Unsinkable Ships  for  Little    Faith    in    Modern Devices  Keeping Vessels Afloat  The London Post says that tlie rapidity wifli which tho Lusitania sank  raises important questions with regard to modern devices for helping  to keep vessels afloat in case of their  being damaged by accident or design.  It quotes Alexander Carlyle, who  did much to raise tlie firm of llarland  & Wolfe, of Belfast, to'the position it  occupies in the shipping world at the  present date, as  saving::  ' 1 don't believe there is such a thing  as an unsinkable ship. -Neither do I  believe such a ship will ever.be built.  \"Thc idea of such a. thing seems lo  me absurd. Hq.w <an you make 50.-  000 tons ot iron, steel and brass float  (for that is how you must look at it)  when the metal lias been battered into a more or less shapeless mass?  .\"There were pie: ty of lifeboats oh  board the Lusitania, but it was a question of time and that did not suffice  to launch nil the boats. Had the Lusitania remained afloat, say\/for two or  three hours. I have little doubt that  the lives of all aboard would have  been saved, except those who weri  killed by the explosion.of the torpelo  or  who might have  died of shock.  \"It is one of the disadvantages of  the great size of modem passenger  vessels that they car. 7 so many people that it takes a long time to get  them off in case of danger.  \"I am-inclined to think that in,the  future we shall not see'vessels m'uch  larger than those which have already  been built, because of the difficulty in  finding harbors suitable for the ;ic  commotlation- of the vessels beyond a  certain size-\"   \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Women's Wages.  For  British  Women   Workers  Asking  Equal Consideration With  Men  The women  of Great Britain  have I rapidly  Money in Live Stock  Marked  Increase  in the Price of Beef  is  Sure  to.Come  Mr- Randolph  Bruce, a well knjwn  rancher iu .Western Canada, has just  returned  from Europe  with  many interesting opinions as to tlie effect that  the   war   will  have  on. the   Canadian  farmer.     The   immense  slaughter  of  cattle for the armies in the field will,  he thinks, very shortly cause a great  I increase in the price of beef, and those  ! farmers   who  arc   raising   cattle   will  j make  more  money   cveu  than  Uiosj  j who are raising wheat at a dollar fifty  ! per  bushel.    Every   effort  should   be  made to raise cattle for the market in  as large quantities and as tiuickly aj  possible.   Mr. Bruce is a great baliever  in   alfalfa   as   the   most   satisfactory  food for the rapid raising of cattle for  beef.  In this connection it is interesting  to note that fattening young stock is'  becoming very popular in the United  States where the market for beef is  increasing so rapidly that more 'study-  has been paid to methods of increasing  production.  In the early days cattle were kept  on the l-anges'from three to five years.  Experience, however, has shown that  the use of thoroughbred hulls and the  consequent improvement in the quality and maturing ability of market  cattle, together with heavier, grain  feeding, has made it possinle to put  just as much beef on the market at  from 13 to 20 months old. Experts are  of ths opinion that with the continued  improvement of breed stock it will be  possible to market at an even earlier date. Among the advantages of  earlier finishing of cattle, the following arc mentioned by some of tho  leading cattle men: Firstly, younger  cattle make heavier gains of beef on a  similar amount of feed than old cattle: secondly, the money invested is  turned faster, being turned over in  eighteen moSiths, where formerly It  took from three to live years: thirdly,  heifers under two years old sell as  readily   as   steers,   and   finish   more  responded as they should to the call  of the governmei-t The emergency  crops have entered into many situations usually filled by men. Among  them arc interpreters, dispensers, veterinary surgeons, chauffeurs, motor  mechanics, doctors, railway workers,  street car conductors, as well as workers in offices usually filled hy mci  When tne war is over, not all  of these women will give up their  positions to thc soldiers, who come  back l'rcm the war. .But women will  have gained a consciousness of ability  which they canno.t part with, if' they  want to. Today women leaders in Industry are warning their followers  that they should claim for men's work  the wages of men. This is not because  they want to embarrass employers of  the government. It is in the intcro-i  of men themselves that women shall  receive the same wages for the same  work. When normal conditions return, which, on account of the great  loss of life, will not, it i.s to be feared,  be vcrv soon, it would be a very bad  I as the census prove without shadow of doubt, the value of beef cattle in  Canada is steadily increasing.
