The hat worn by Anderson, on the'date of his disappearance was found'by Dr.\" A. McQuarric, of Mission, a few days ago. It was lying on thc bank of (he .river, inside a boom log on thc Mission side. Others had scon the hat before Dr. McQnarrie thought it worth while to investigate. He found it to he stamped on tlie lining with Anderson's initials, and tified by Anderson's soon afterwards. The.position hi which the hat was found upsets previous theories altogether. The vicinity was dragged under the supervision of Tom tollman of the Matsqui poUce, without result. The first dragging operations, soon after 'Anderson's disappearance, were conducted on the sup position, bore out by the facts as then presented, that he had fallen or had been.thrown rfom the Canadian Pacific Railway bridge. It was stated that Anderson was seen crossing the bridge'about the same time as two strange men started to cross from the Matsqui.side. But the facts now point strongly in a new clirec- -- tion. and it-is-believed that. Andersen never started to cross the bridge, but met his death on the Mission side. The two strangers, morever, never ; crossed from the Matsqui side. They are known to have oeen in possession of revolvers, and were wanted at the time in connection with occurrences at Sedro-Woolley. They have not been found, although they are known - to the American police, but no rus- picion now attaches to them in the minds of those who have carefully investigated the whole disappearance How thoroughly those investigations have been may be judged from the fact that the . only two persons who were known to have crossed thc bridge around the time Anderson left Mission were rounded up\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit took over a fortnight\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand interrogated, neither had seen Andersen, and both knew him well.

THE DRAUGHT HORSE SITUATION IN CANADA ' The production of draught horses has fallen off heavily during the past several years. There are the following reasons for this:- 1. Thc high cost of growing the colt to a marketable age. 2. The difficulty in manv sections of obtaining the' services of good horses and incidentally thc failure in many districts.to make ilse of good available sires. 8. A desire on the part of the farmer to grow a product capable o. rapid turnover, \"A Cash Crop,'' as it were. 4. The demand for the draught horse has fallen off to a certain extent on.account of experimentation on the part of farmers with tractors and on the part of the city user of heavy horses with the heavy duty truck. The type of farmer best'equipped to further horse .breeding has been the very man who has' been looking for a substitute. The definite result of this falling off in horse production is becoming increasingly noticeable. With practically-all other forms of live stock product..there-has recently been a decided and, in many cases, disas- trous falling-offin price. This applies to:the meat supply in general and in/a slightly lesser way to milk and milk products. Here the law of supply and demand has exerted itself. Ask any horse-buyer or dealer as to the supply of good draught geldings-, or mares with size and quality, and he will ireply that such a horse is .hard to find and harder to buy. The familiar saying that \"Qual ity Counts\" has not been heeded. Too many of the few colts that have been raised laterly have been from inferior mares and mediocre horses and their chances have been further impaired by poor care and poorer feeding,''.'largely necessitated by, the high price of feed and labour. To sum up, the man who has bred conservatively and wisely for size and quality and who has studied the question of economic wintering or* horses will now find a steady, and, in future, an increasing demand. Once .more, .\"Quality Counts.\" The draught horse has two grca' centres-of activity, the farm and the city. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .While there is and will Ik much' pr.ivate experimentation with tractors-on the farm, this Tact is 1 becoming more and more apparent, When it comes to the question of home - produced, home - repaired, adaptable, fool-proof and, last oi all, economical power, the relation of the.tractor to the horse will be - more and more that of a qualified assistant and less and less of a substitute.'-\" .This fact will tako some time in \"the learning and will be the result-of much individually acquired experience.

Loganberries are not in as much demand as strawberries at present. They arc especially suited to Vancouver Island, and cannot be grown in Eastern Canada orf any country where zero weather is known. One of the essential things in any community where loganberries are grown to any extent, is to have a I'ac ;.ory where the superflous berry crop can be taken care of and converted into wine. There is no more delicious beverage than loganberry wine,- and it is increasing in popularity as it becomes better known. Fruitgrowers on Vancouver Island do not specialize in raspberries, .hough nearly all of them set aside some land for them, but they require rather more moisture than is met with in the Saanich district for instance, and others are usually focussed on the strawberries, lo^ans, gooseberries, and currants among the small fruits. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The blackberry, especially the brand known as Himalaya', is very prolific in this district, some plants bearing upwards of 150 pounds of fruit in a season.

On account of the high prices paid for strawberries during the last few years, growers have concentrated more especially on this fruit.

WILL EXPERIMENT WITH LONE BROOD BEE TREATMENT As I meander round this town I meet some folks with heads bowed down and gloomy faces. I seldom see them with a smile but hear them moan most all the while \"how dull the place is.\" They nearly always walk together and make complaint ..about the weather that we get and make an awful hue and cry that \"Really this is far too dry\" or far too wet. Or else it's business that they talk and wave their hands round while they walk, in sheer dejection. Why everything is dead they claim and things can never be the some in this connection. These livjng inmates of the tomb pust walk around and peddle gloom without pretending: they little think of how it grows and gets darker as it goes on to its ending. I know a little blue eyed tot who's just content with what she's got; that's why I say I'd rather meet a simple child than hear a man talk harsh and wild things of today, Thats why I like to meet a lad who shows that he is really glad that he is living < that's why I always like to pass a . bright-eyed, smiling little lass who1 joys in giving. The boy or girl who! tries to chase the gloom from off some other's face is, in my mind, far I greater than the grown up man who ' peddles gloom the best he can to all mankind.

ANDREWS CASH GROCER BRITISH COLUMBIA HENS THE BEST LAYERS The Province of British Columbia has amply demonstrated its adaptability for poultry raising. In the egg laying tests carried on over Canada last year British Columbia gave the highest production. At the Agassiz Farm seventy miles east of Vancouver, 200 egg hens were quite common 250 and 270 by no means rare, and at the Vancouver Tsland Station, a White Wyndot'te flock of 200 pullets gave an average of 195.97, 29 of which were about 175 eggs, 82 above 200. There the highest production was reached by a pullet that laid 300 eggs within the year. At the Vancou ver Island station no bird is consider \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDd worth keeping for breeding that does not lay 200 eggs the first year, and no cockerel is retained unless his mother laid 250 eggs in her pullet year. This improvement has been brought about by the pedigree breed ing carried on by the Experimental Farms' System which in recent years has been giving special attention to high producing strains of fowls.
