It Is also\nhighly satisfactory to know that the\nGranby company has in the field this\nseason in the district two crews of\nengineers who are endeavoring to locate new properties which the company can work later. The change from\nstagnation to prosperity in the last\nfew years is very marked, and the relatively improved condition of the copper market promises to continue the\nexisting activity. The fact that the\nGranby company is getting better ore\nat a greater depth than seemed possible not long ago, is also a sign of the\nposslbiUtles of this part of the province.\"\nMr. McKenzle said the mines of the\nGranby company were producing 2500\ntons of ore a day. To keep pace with\nthis output, and the increasing size of\nits crews, the company Is lnstUlng 4t\nCopper mountain a new ore crusher\nof latest type, a new steel-sharpening\nshop, close to the mine shafts to facilitate handling of steel, a new warehouse and office building with offices\nfor officials of the company, seven\nnew houses for employees, a tare gcom\nmunity hall for the entertainment of\nthe people of the district, and a new\ntwo-room school, while a new fireproof bunkhouse to accommodate\nninety-two men, and equipped with\nsteam heat, shower baths and steel\nlockers, was buUt last year to replace\na building which was burned. At Allenby the company has recently installed nine flotation machines of latest type.\nAs its part of this program of expansion ln the district, the government, Mr. McKenzie stated, wiU improve the road from Princeton to Copper mountain. The highway will be\nwidened and lmpdoved at many points\nto improve its grade and location.\nDuring his trip Mr, McKenzle accompanied Lieutenant-Governor R. R.\nBruce, and they visited many of the\nmines of the Prrlnceton district. At\nHedley, where the Hedley Gold Mining\ncompany is operating, the government\nwill build extensive trails to assist development, the mines minister said.\nMr. McKenzie was impressed with\nthe development of coal properties\naround Princeton by W, R.

Accordingly an English expedition is about\nto investigate the ruins from a scientific standpoint. It\nIs thought to be possible that they will find some explanation of the source of the 130 talents of gold which the\nQueen of Sheba presented to Solomon, and some of the\nother wealth of that time. The gold mines of Rhodesia\nwere worked during an early era corresponding to the\nreigns of those monarchs, and many relics found in the\ntemples and other ruined buildings are distinctly Asiatic Zimbabwe was the mythical \"dead city\" of Sir Rider\nHaggard's \"She.\" It also figures in his other novels, \"Allan Quatermain,\" and \"King Solomon's Mines.\" The na-\ntivestives regard it with superstitious fear. These facts\nhave helped make it a city of mystery and conjecture.\nIT'S rather discouraging that so many bad habits\nshould be so old.

Others take a different view of the passage.\nThey say that \"dog\" here does not refer to the animal,\nbut to.a persorf who has prostituted himself by committing any abominable action. This opinion receives some\nconfirmation from the context, especially the preceding\nverse. In Palestine the dog was looked upon with loathing and aversion, as filthy and unclean. This' animal is\nmentioned ln the Bible more than forty times and, witn\nfew exceptions, it is mentioned with contempt to remark\neither its voracious Instincts, Its fierceness or Its loathsomeness.\n(HTHE finest blankets ever made are those produced\n-\"-in Mysore, India.

He\nhad gone but a few steps when he\nrealized the futUlty of the attempt\nand, preferring death to capture, he\ndetermined to end his own life and\nshot himself. For policy's sake, Boston\nCorbett was permitted to have thei\ncredit for having shot him. Secretary\nStanton had but one purpose in regard to Booth, and that was to deprive those who might applaud\nBooth's deed of the thought that he\nwas a martyr who had cheated the\navengers of Lincoln's death by committing suicide.\nVarious fantastic tales have been\ntold about the disposal of Booth's\nbody, but these Wilson sets at rest by\ntelling of his burial in the penitentiary grounds ln Washington and the\nsubsequent positive Identification of\nhis remains whenthe body was exhumed ln 1869 for reburial ln the\nBooth burial plot in Baltimore. But\nmore Important stUl this book lays\nfor all time the \"ghost\" of John\nWUkes Booth which for the last fifty\nyears has bobbed up at various'times\nand ln various places ln the forms of\ndifferent persons who claimed to be\nBooth. There have been a number of\nthese fake \"John WUkes Booths,\" but\nperhaps the most famous one was the\ncentral figure ln a book written by\na certain Finis L. Bates of Memphis,\nTerm. Bates became acquainted with\na house painter named John St. Helen,\nwho confessed to him that he was\nJohn WUkes Booth who had survived\nthe pursuit by the soldiers after Lincoln's assassination. St. Helen was\nliving under the name of David E.\nGeorge when he died In Oklahoma.\nBates discovered that the embalmed\nbody of George was In Enid, Okla.\nHe took charge of it and carried lt to\nhis home In Memphis. He then wrote\nhis book to prove that George really\nwas Booth and made repeated attempts to coUect the reward of $100,-\n000 which the federal government had\noffered for the body of Booth, after\nthe assassination.\nAs late as 1925 another fake Booth\nshowed up in Minneapolis, were, according to the story, he caUed upon\nBlanche de Bar Booth, daughter of\nJunius Brutus Booth, the younger, a\nbrother of Edwin and John WUkes\nBooth. Knocking on her door at the\nhotel and speaking from the outside,\nhe said; \"Blanche don't you want to\nsee Johnnie?\" Believing that lt was\nthe work of some practical Joker, she\nrefused to see him, and after leaving\na card bearing the name of John\nWUkes BoothAe departed, saying that\nhe would call again. He did not show\nup again, however, and although some\nnewspapers made much of the incident, nothing further ever came of it,\nFor the truth is, as Wilson's book\nproves conclusively John WUkes Booth\ndied ln the burning barn, probably by\nhis own hand, and aU who later\nclaimed to be the assassin were rank\nimpostors.\nBen Bernie to Open Royal York\n298\n267\n357\n322\n250\n342\n276\n330\n289\n466\n453\n217\n290\n356\n334\n337\n250\n360\n286\n431\n382\n453\n186\n235\n246\n255\n327\n382\n214\n406\n216\n479\n339\n265\n725\n240\n366\n57\n1NTEW LIGHT ON A\nFAMOUS TRAGEDY\nTop, Th* Royal York Hotel aa It\nout,*\nWHEN a cold or exposure\nbrings aches and pains that\npenetrate to your very bones, (here\nIs always quick relief in Aspirin.\nIt will make short work of that\nheadache or any little pain.

That this\nshould be so is not difficult to realize\nif we con reconstruct the atmosphere\nof hatred, suspicion and political vin-\ndictatlveness which prevailed at the\nclose of a great civil conflict. In such\nan atmosphere it ls not to be wondered at that facts should be distorted\nand that the story of Lincoln's assassination which has been handed down\nto us should - contain as many half-\ntruths and no-truths as truths.\nRecently there appeared a book\nwhich sheds much light on that famous tragedy and from which it ls possible to know what actually took place\non that Good Friday and during the\ndays of wild excitement that foUowed.\nIt is \"John WUkes Booth\u2014Fact and\nFiction of Lincoln's assassination,\"\npublished by Houghton Mifflin company, and written by a veteran of the\nstage, Francis Wilson, who knew\nmany of the members of the cast who\nplayed with Miss Laura Keene at\nFord's theater that night as well as\nmembers of the Booth family, notably\nEdwin Booth. Wilson, according to\none reviewer of his book,\"wrltes not\nin Justification of murder, much less\nln Justification of that monumental\ncrime. His task Is the thankless but\nImportant one of telling the truth to\nhis fellow-citizens north ond south\n... He has invaded a field poisoned by more than half a century of\ndefamatory propaganda and emerged\ntriumphant.'\"\nWhUe there can be ho Justification\nfor John WUkes Booth's crime, there\ncan be an explanation of lt. There 13\nno doubt that Booth was a morbid-\nminded fanatic who believed himself\nactuated by a high and noble purpose\nln planning his deed. That\" deed, Incidentally, Wilson's book reveals was\noriginally planned as one of abduction than assassination. Booth, a\nstrong southern sympathizer, believed\nthat if he could abduct the president\nand hold him a captive, he could die\ntate the .terms for his release\u2014an\nabrogation of Grant's order forbidding\nthe exchange of prisoners (an important factor in the war as the South's\nman power dwindled, a strengthening\nof the cry of the northern Democrats\nthat \"the war is a failure,\" an acknowledgment of the lndepedence of\nthe South and ah end to the war.\nHe had been planning the abduction\nfor several months, as shown by a letter written ln November, 1864, to John\n8. Clarke, his brothSr-ln-law, ln\nwhich he said \"Nor do' I deem lt a\ndishonor ln attempting to make for,\nher (the South) a prisoner of this\nman to whom she owes so much misery.\" But when Lee's surrender marked the beginning of the end and\nBooth heard Lincoln speak to tbe\ncrowd that- gathered before the White\nHouse upon the return from the front,\n\"f hope you Uke it\".

C. Hopper\nSweet clover, red clover and a mixture of oats  peas and vetches have\nbeen made into very palatab's silage\nwith little   difficulty.   More   trouble, [\nhowever, has   been   experienced   in\nmaking desirable silage from alfalfa.;\nFor the past five years extensive experiments have been conducted at the\nCentral experimental farm at Ottawa\nto   determine   the   best methods ot\nmaking silage from the legume crops\nmentioned above, and considerable information ls now available on the subject.\nIt has been found that sweet clover\nmakes the best quality of siagle If the\ncrop ls cut when half the plants are\nshowing their first blossoms. WhUe\nsome Uttlo difficulty has been experienced ln harvesting green sweet clover\nwith the binder, the ease with which\nthe bound sheaves are handled to the\nsUo has more than offset the difficulties met in harvesting the crpp in this\nmanner. Two or three hours of wilting in the field after cutting did not\ninjure the 'sweet clover for silage, but\nlonger periods should be avoided,\nespecially if the weather is dry1 and\nhot.\nIn regions where red clover grows|\nwith success, it is usually made into'\nhay, but the experiments conducted at\nthe experimental' farm Indicate that-\nthis crop wUl also produce good <ril-\nage. Bed clover cut when ln full\nbloom and ensiled within two or three\nhours produced silage which always\ncame out of the sUo In splendid condition.\nMixtures of oats and peas, peas and\nvetches which were cut when the oats\nwere In the early dough stage yielded\nsUage of the best quality. At this stage\nof growth the crop is usually showing\nfaint evidencefaint evidence of bei;in-\nning to change from a green to ii ripe\ncolor. A few hours of wUtln? ln the\nfield did not affect the quality of the\nsilage secured from these mixtures.\nWhen the crop was wilted more than\nthree or four hours ln the hot sun\nthere was a tendency for pockets of\nmold to be formed ln the sUo when\nthis over-wUted material was ensiled.\nNo commonly grown hay crop exceeds alfalfa in value, and this crop\nshould be made Into hay rather than\nsUage. In fact, alfalfa has proven in\nthese experiments the most difficult\ncrop to ensile, frequently producing\nvery unpalatable silage. When a successful method ls developed for making alfalfa Into sUage lt might be\nfound profitable to store this crop In\nthe sUo. Although difficulties are encountered ln the successful ensllinc\nof alfalfa, experiments have shown\nthat when the natural moisture of the\nalfalfa plants which were cut ln ftUl\nbloom, wasreduced by wilting the cut\ncrop for five hours in the sun, good\nsilage was secured in most of the\ntrials. Two instances where this practice was foUowed, however, the weather prevailing when the crop wss being\nwUted in the field was particularly dry\nand hot, and the alfalfa became over-\nwilted, producing moldy pockets ln the\nsilo. The addition of green material\nwith a high content of carbohydrates\nalso proved to be of some value In\nmaking successful silage from tbe alfalfa crop. When unwilted full-bloom\nalfalfa was mixed with 25 per cent\ntimothy, a silage of good quality was\nSecured ln three trials, but ln one\nother trial the sUage was only fair.\nLeaving the alfalfa untU ten davs after full bloom before cutting, and ensuing it without wUtlng, gave a very\npromising result in one trial conducted last year. WhUe these experiments\nhave not yet definitely solved the\nproblem of successfully ensiling alfalfa, considerable progress has been\nmade.\nEntire Accord\nShe\u2014It must be fine to be a poet?\nHe\u2014It certainly ought to be fine-\nfine or Imprisonment.\nBreezy and Attractive\n\"Is the theater cool?\"\n\"Well,  the  play  creates   rales\nlaughter.\"\nNext Question\n\"Girls   are   going   to   wear to\nclothes than ever this winter.\"\n\"What will that cost?\"\nof\nTanned Her\n\"How did Muriel pet tanned so?\"\n\"She was out In a spunning nrpcz\nFine Art of Heckling\n\"I was glad to observe that you were\nin no way disturbed by that man who\nheckled.\"\n\"He is what I call a good heckler,\"\nanswered the Senator. \"I carry him\nwith the campaign company.\"\n\"He is a friend?\"\n\"More.

K. Johns\nA number of farms producing certified milk have used the mUklng machine for some years with splendid\nsuccess. On the other hand, machine-\ndrawn milk from the average farm fre\nquently contains enormous numbers of\nbacteria. Careful investigation has\nshown this to be largely the result of\nlmproer treatment of the rubber\nparts; where these are not thoroughly\nwashed and sterilized, lurking bacteria\nfinds food and moisture inside the\ntubes to pedmit rapid growth, and the\nmUk drawn through at the next milking  becomes  seriously  contaminated\nIn the belief that methods recommended for cleaninga and sterilizing\nare often too time-consuming and laborious, the division of bacteriology,\nCentral experimental farm, Ottawa\nhas studied the problem of developing\nsimpler, yet equally effective methols.\nTests has shown this suction method\nof washing to be kulcker, simpler and\nyet more thorough than the old brush\nmethod, while chemical methods of\nsterilizing the rubber parts have compared very favorably with hot water\nand steam treatment. During the past\nsummer, relatives values of chemical\nand hot water treatments for sterilizing were compared in a sevare test\nconducted under practical conditions.\nOver a six-week period (July to September) the average bacterial counts\nobtained by the machines and by careful hand milking were: Hot water\ntreated machine, 4.484 per c.c; chemically treated machine, 4.209 per c.c;\nhand milking, 4.276 per c.c; From\nthese flgues it is evident that simple\nmethods; where properly followed, enable the average farmer to produce\nmilk by machine that will compare\nmost favorably with the product of\ncareful hand milking milking.\nFull details of this experiment and\nof many others conducted in bacteriological studies of milking machines\nwiU shortly be published in bulletin\nform, and should prove to be of interest to every mUk producer.\nGeneral News\nThe Prince of Wales has again\nextended his patronage to tbe\nBanff Highland Gathering and Scottish Music Festival to hi held thl\u00bb\u00bb\nsummer at the Banff Springs Hotel\nin the Rockies.

When the child grows up to\nbe an adult and begins to earn money,\nhe then becomes an asset, and to the\nxtc.it that he earns more than is re\nquired for his bare living, he is paying dividends upon the money invested in him.\nAn eminene American statistician,\n...king these points into consideration,\nhas found that the value of a child at\nwhich have enjoyed a record of freedom from this disease for many years.\nIn others, alarming amounts have\nbeen noted and yearly increases are\ninevitable. This is particularly true of\nGreen Mountains. The grower confronted with this difficulty must decide whether to continue to fight mosaic or to replace his seed stock with\na healthier strain. The latter course\nis to be recommended if the occurrence of mosaic has given much trouble or \" made certification difficult\nHowever, where small amounts are\npresent it has been demonstrated by\nthe division of botany, experimental\nfarms branch, that careful seedplot\nselection by the tuber-unit method\nwiU effect control of mosaic. Those desiring to improve their seed potatoes\nin this way should stake a number of\nhealthy plants. The crop from these\nis hand dug and set aside for tuber-\nuniting the following year. Bin selection may be resorted to. However, this\nis not to be recommended except\nwhere the staking was overlooked the\nprevious season. The size of the plot\nwUl be governed by the requirements\nfor the next year's seeding. A seec\nplot of one acre should provide sume\nlent material for ten acres.\nAccording to the tuber-unit method,\npotatoes weighing from five to eight\nounces are cut lengthwise into four\nequal sets. These are planted consecutively in a unit of four hUls.To prevent mixing the units, a space of two\nfeet or more separates the sets of one\ntuber from those of the next in the\nrow.\nDuring the growing season weak\nand diseased plants are rogued out\nalong with the remaining members of\nthe unit in which they occur. In order\nto prevent contamination this plot\nshould be isolated from other potatoes.\nEach hill is dug separately by hand,\nand the most desirable tubers are selected from each unit for another seed\nplot. The culls are then graded out\nand the remainder set aside for next\nyear's main crop.\nHaving once established a disease-\nfree strain the seed-plot may adjoin\nthe main field.\nThe amount of work involved in the\nabove method is small and more than\ncompensated by the satisfactory results obtained.\nANNUAL AGRICULTURAL\nSTATISTICS, 1929\nOTTAWA.\u2014The Dominion bureau\nof statistics has made the customary\narrangements for the collection and\npublication of the annual agricultural\nstatistics of Canada for the year 1929.\nThese statistics wUl be bosedupon returns to be collected next June from\nindividual farmers upon cardboard\nschedules issued to them through the\nteachers and children of the rural\nschools, as well as from farmers direct, which wUl be circulated on an\nincreased scale this year.

With headquarters say at Banff\nor Lake Louise they are within easy distance of\nalmost every scenic background which might be\ndesired. The low rolling foothills give the color for\nthe cowboy variety. Somewhere, although perhaps\nhigh up, snow can always be found. The myriad\nlakes, streams and waterfalls, high cliffs and rugged\ntrails, the motor roads and the railway, pack-ponies,\ndogs and wild life, the peaks and pine-clad valleys\nbadges and tunnels provide varied properties in\nproximity obtainable In few other locations on the\ncontinent. Many of the thrillers one Bees now were\nfilmed in the Canadian West snd with the establishment of a Canadian film production company at\nCalgary, a Canadian Hollywood is in a fair way to\nbecoming built up, particularly as the long hours cf\nsunshine and the clear atmosphere for which Banff\nIs famous are two of the major essentials for successful camera work. The Banff Winter Carnival eIjo\nprovides a splendid background.\nP. A. Z. PARE, Proprietor\nFIRST ST, NEXT P. SUNNS'\nA. E.
