| The Horseman

At this age of the trotting breed,

when world’s records are frequently broken, the appearange of a new champion generally causes little sur-

prise and comment, but I believe that if horsemen will stop and think they will agree that the yearling colt, Frank Perry, that paced a mile in 2:15 recent- ly at Lexington, is one of the greatest speed marvels that has yet appeared.

The colt was sent against the world’s pacing record for his age, 2.20%, held jointly by Belle Acton and Paul D, Nelly, and covered the distance in 2:15 flat. After his successful performance his trainer and owner started to further reduce his record during the Lexington trots, and it is stated by a number of horsemen who witnessed the trial that the colt can pace in 2:12 or 2:18.

Two years ago, when Miss Stokes trotted to a world’s record of 2:19\% , many thought that the daughter of Peter the Great had set a yearling mark at which both trotters and pac- ers would shoot at for many years to’ come; but how could that be? The trotting breed is advaneing each year and it is generally admitted that the pacer has a few seconds on the trotter. The colt that was capable of the task has at last appeared “and eclipsed Miss Stockes’ record by four and a quarter seconds,

With the luxurieus ease of a million aire, James, the butler at flat No. 4, say comfortably on three chairs and a pillow in the pantry at half-past four in the afternoon, reading a novelette.

At the end of each paragraph he took a munch of his mistress’s currant cake, and at the bottom of each page a pull at his master’s soda-water, but he did net hear the footstep on the stair.

The story became tenser, the cake smaller, the bottle empty—and the step came nearer,

The butler jumped up, u guilty blush suffusing his countenance. It was the mistress of No, 4,

‘‘James,’’ repeated the lady, an grily, ‘‘how is it that whenever J come into the pantry [ find you idling your time away, sprawled out reading a Newspaper or something?’’

TRADE IN PERCHERONS Canadian Importations—United States Supplies the Most

Tho Percheron has taken a very sure grip upon the horse business in the States and Canada, Canada, however, has not been very progressive in produc. ing this breed of horses, but has pro vided a ready market for our American cousins, who have for the past few years been busy raising Percherons for the market.

Information from John W, Brant, ac- countant Canadian Live Stock Record, acquaints us with the following facts: In the year of 1909, 283 head were im- ported to Canada, Of these, sixty-five per cent. came from the United States,

When Nestrils are Plugged Your Gatarth is Bad

BY ACTING TO-DAY YOU CAN QUICKLY CURE CATARRH AND AVOID BRONCHITIS; PER- HAPS CONSUMPTION

Most Agreeable and Surest Cure is Catarrhozone, Which Cures Every Curable Case

Catarrhozone proves especiaily good in those chronic cases where mucus drops down the throat, sickens the stomach, and pollutes the breath. When the nostrils are stuffed, only a few breaths through the inhaler are needed to clear the passages, and where there is coughing and sore bronchial tubes the soothing, healing properties of Catarrhozone act almost as magic.

Onee you stop taking medicine into the stomach and get the healing oils and pure balsams of Catarrhozone at work you can be sure of quick and lasting cure for nose colds, catarrh, weak lungs, bronchitis, and speaker's sore throat.

13 YBARS OF CATARRH CURED ‘*As Catarrhozone has cured me of a Catarrhal Cough and Asthma that last- ed thirteen years, I feel I can honestly recommend it. I really used all kinds of medicine, but Catarrhozone was the only one that did any real good. I am entirely cured—have no cough, no bad breathing spells, not a sign of a cold or catarrh about me. But I will always occasionally use ‘Catarrhozone,’ I prize it so highly. **Mrs. E. L. Osgood, ‘*Johnson P.O., Ont.’”

MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS Sir Humphry Davy’s dogmatic pro* nouncement against gas lighting is not the only instance of a clever scientist being hopelessly wrong, The early his- tory of submarine cabling furnishes two striking examples. Consulted on the sientife side of the project, Faraday asserted that the first cables were made too small. Then he said that ‘‘the larger the wire, the more electricity would be required to charge it’’; and in this quite incorrect opinion he was supported by ether eminent scientists. As a result of this dietum the current was increased until the operation ‘‘elec- trocuted’’ the wire, and the cable my down. It was Lord Kelvin who by sending messages through heavy cables with ineredibly weak electric eurrents proved that Paraday was mistaken, Airy submitted the project to mathe muties and arrived at the conclusion

NUMBER of the notable productions covered in recent

book reviews have been written by women, Several more have been about women or concerning the things in which modern women are interested, Heading the list of those books especially worthy of thoughtful feminine consid. eration is that one by Olive Schreiner, ‘‘Woman and Labor.’’ If this work had not been so extensively commented upon both by English and American as well as Canadian critics I should be tempted to devote some little ‘‘ Rocking Chair’’ ro to outlining the gist of its deductions, The book is obviously the result of painstaking analytical research on the part of a trained thinker. While it consistently main- tains the purely feminine viewpoint, the writer nevertheless handles her somewhat abstruse subject, with its many rami- fications, in a manner that forever puts to rout the long- cherished tradition that women are not and never can be-

panel is buttoned on, and the edges of skirt are so curved that they may be buttoned together, each side separately to form a comfortable riding costume or they may be crossed over oach other and buttoned at either side to form an ordinary walking skirt. The model costume is shown in dark gray English mobair, of soft yet substantial quality, and the buttons are covered with the sane material. Beneath the skirt for the early autumn duys are worn knickerbockers of gray pongee, which later in the season will be discarded for the warm woolen knickers or bloomers. The shirtblouse is made of the fine wool taffeta, a material that has the advantage of both daintiness and warinth, is easily laundered, and comes in a variety of charming colorings.

Then comes along a shrewd reviewer and discovers that the devoted suffragette and bachelor maid is receiving con firmation and support from no less authority than Hrnest Seton Thompson, in his new work, ‘‘Life Histories of Norta American Animals.’’ In this treatise, which promises to become a elassic in its line, Mr. Thompson states that the suffragette pheoey that feminine leadership is as old as the hills, and quite'as natural,’’ is amply supported by evi dence from the animal kingdom.

Numberless observations show that this wise one is not the big bull, but almost invariably an elderly female. She is the one that has impressed the others with the idea that she is safe to follow—that she will lead them into no foot traps; that she knows the best pastures and the best ways to them; that she has learned the salt licks and the watering places that are safe and open to all around; that her eyes and ears are keen; and that she will take good care of herself and incidentally of the band.

So it would appear that whatever your convictions you have any amount of notable and quotable authority to draw on in support of them, Apropos the subject of woman's rights and privileges, advantages and disadvantages, an English woman editorialist deplores the hampering effect of the ‘home instinct’? with which the progressive feet of the modern woman are clogged. She waxes eloquent, declaiming that ‘‘even if women have properly prepared themsely es for | working with fhon they still labor under this handicap made up of centuries of tradition and heredity.’’

And come to think of it, it’s true. We all know women who seem quite devoid of the maternal instinet, some with lout the filial instinct, and some most certainly lacking in the mating instinct, but have you ever yet met the woman without the home instinet?—-that is the desire for her own place and the thering together of her own ‘things? Think now, of all the bachelor women you know! Do they ‘‘board,’’? surely you have beard them wish for ‘‘apart- ments,’’ unfurnished ones preferably, that they may gather their own household goods, be they but packing cases for tables and barrels turned into ‘‘easy’’ chairs. Give them the flat and they long for a viny cottage. Your true bachelor girl prays not for ‘Sestablishments,’ with their retinue of servants, Rather she eraves a place where she can ‘‘pet ter about.’’ And too often in this work-a-day world, as the Qnglishwoman says, this home instinct may and does put a woman at disadvantage. A part of her mind, her time, her =ss <a = heart, her energy, is engrossed by it. It is a thing she has

continually to fight against lest it absorb too much of her. Success

The original ‘‘ harem skirt’’ first came to light in France, of course. It was a result of a jealous attack of the French modiste on the London designers. The French launched, or pretended to launch, the harem skirt. If the English women took it up Paris would drop it, and so enjoy itself at the expense of the English exclusives, but if the idea chanced to tickle feminine fancy generally, then would Paris promptly step up and claim eredit for the brilliant conception, This is all ancient history. The fate of the harem skirt was decided a long time since. But a clever American cousin has adapted the ugly design and made it the motif for one of the prettiest of outdoor costumes; one especially suitable to the variety of weathers to which the Winnipeg outdoor girl must accommodate horself. ;

500 Years of

With academic pomp and cireum. stance the University of St. Andrews recently celebrated its five hundredth anniversary, y

It may haps be, in these great days of golf, that the small Scottish city is better known the world over for its famous links and as the home of that ‘‘Ro: and Ancient’’ Club the rules of which have become the laws of the game wherever it is played. Golf- ers everywhere followed with sympath- etic interest last week the progress of the contest for the Jubilee Cup on these St, Andrews links,

Each season sees the place filled with enthusiastic devotees, drawn from far and near to this Mecea of golf, and the present summer has been no exception, though the tropical heat there as else- where has done no good to the greens, It may perhaps also be the case that many of these ardent spirits, in their hot love of the game, never gave a thought to the university side of St. Andrews; others, more discerning, may extol the wisdom of that Providence which has placed, as some alliterative person has observed, learning and links together.

St. Andrews is but a little city, its population being something less than 8,000; so far as its university is con- cerned, however, it has annexed to it- self Dundee, with twenty times more people, and in this way may be said to e much larger than it looks. Time was when St. Andrews was bigger and infinitely more important than the busy, bustling town on the farther side of the Tay—when, indeed, it was almost, and sometimes altogether, the most import- ant town in Seotland. What Canter- bury was to England St. Andrews was to the northern kingdom; it was the ecclesiastical capital of the country un- der its Archbishops—one of whom, it may be remembered when other things are forgot, was brutally murdered on Magnus Moor. It had a cathedral, a great priory, several monasteries, and its ‘*Palace of the Bishops.’’

And in such a city in the Middle Ages the college and the school com- monly went with the cathedral, as, for instance, Christ Church at Oxford. In 1411 Henry de Wardlaw, Bishop of St. Andrews—it was not then an arch- bishoprie—founded the university, the first in Seotland, taking as its model that of Paris, but a ‘‘Schola Ilustris,’’ as it was described in contemporary writings, has been in existence long be- fore. Papal bulls confirmed the bish- op’s charter to the university, and the King, James I., became its patron, But it was not until 1340 that its first col- lege, that of St. Salvator, was estab- lished, under Wardlaw’s successor, James Kennedy, whose tomb is to be seen today in the College Chapel, which, with the old College Tower, is all that remains of the original buildings.

Archbishop Alexander Stuart found- ed the second colioge at St. Leonard's in 1512. Its statues ordained, amon

‘strike-r7inodern ear as quaint, that anyone who desired to be received into the college must ‘‘ap- proach the principal, beseeching on bended knees, for the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, to be admitted to that holy society.’? The rigors of Scot- tish university life in those good old days were also shown by a statute of the third college, St. Mary’s, founded in 1538 by Archbishop James Beaton, uncle ef Cardinal Beaton. It was to the effect that no holidays whatever were to be allowed, because ‘‘they only fostered the avarice of provisors, en- couraged the levity of youth, and added to the irksomeness of obedience.’’ In later and less strenuous times this was found more than flesh and blood could stand. First there was a month's va- eation, then one of four months, and finally one of six.

\ After the Reformation St. Mary's be eame a theological college exclusively, while the other colleges devoted them- slves to ‘‘humanite and trew philoso- phie.’’ In 1747 St, Salvator’s and St. Leonard’s were united, and henceforth were known as the ‘‘ United College. The buildings of St. Leonard’s were abandoned, and those of St. Salvator’s restored and made sufficient to accom- modate the students of both, The edi- fice in which the United College was housed until near the middle of last century, when the present fine structure replaced it, was of so unattractive an appearance that Dr, Chalmers said that it might be ‘‘mistaken for an old cot- ton mill.’’ The last addition to the number of the Colleges was University College, Dundee, which in 1897, was leg- ally affiliated to and made ‘‘to form a art of’’ the University of St. An

rews. f

In the five centuries of its existence the university has had many ups and downs. It is now in a more flourish- ing state than in any previous period. As late as the middle of the eighteenth century its students had declined to & mere handful; in 1749 it had only five matriculants. During the last ten years it has had an average of over 500 ma- triculated students; in the year 1908-9 it had an attendance of close on 600; for the preceding ten years the average was 217. There are severa! reasons for this increasing success, pat

With the other Scottish universities St. Andrews has shared the fructifying streams of gold that have flowed from the great Carnegie Trust. Dundee, which contributes more than 200 to the total, has a good deal to do with the

wing prosperity of the university—

as have also, it should be said, the St. Andrews opened wide its gates to women some twenty years ago, and ever since it has been a favorite place of theirs—so much so that nearly one-half of the students at present are A writer in the Scotsman the other day plaintively remarked that ‘there is a real danger of the oldest university of Scotland becoming, some would say degenerating into, a univer- sity for women alone,’’ so popular is it with them. i Very different, of course, is the Uni-

_ yersity of St. Andrews now from what

it was even a hundred years ago—in the days of the ‘fold cotton mill,’’ It is in every respect a well-equipped, well-organized modern university, with

all that diversity of studies found now- adays in similar seats of learning. The three colleges may be said in a way to specialize—St, Mary’s in theology, the ‘*United’? in arts, the ‘‘ University ’ (Dundee) in science and medicine, The general staff includes 3 principals, 28 professors, 32 lecturers, and ob assist- ants, a relatively large body considerin, the number of students. | These an other matters of congratulation which denote the expansion of St, Andrews will doubtless afford plenty of seope for the addresses which will be delivered in the course of this erat ee cele- bration by Lord Balfour of Burleigh, the chancellor of the university, and others, among whom is Lord Rosebery, Lord Rector this year, The small city for once will be filled with visitors not all ‘‘golf mad,’’ though all will cer- tainly take a look at the links. Seeing the old, quiet town with its singular charm they will scarcely fail to agree with Froude, ho pronounced St. An- drews the ‘‘very ideal of a little uni- versity city.’’

TAMPERING WITH THE LAW

An amusing story is being told at the expense of an old Yorkshire farmer, who was recently called upon to ex- plain why he had failed to take out a licence for a favorite fox-terrier dog.

‘*Yes, yes! So you say. old is he?’’

“Oh, weel, I couldn’t tell to a bit,’’ was the reply. ‘‘I never was much good at remembering dates, but ’e’s nobbut a puppy.’’

On the other hand it was maintained that the animal in question was a very, very old-fashioned puppy, and the mag- istrate inflicted the usual fine,

Shortly afterwards the farmer was met by a friend, who wanted to kuow how he had fared at the police-court.

‘*Nobbut middlin’?’’ was the reply.

‘*Did they fing you?’’

“*Yes,’’ responded the victim; ‘‘an’ ‘ang me if I can unnerstand it! Last year, an’ the year afore that, I told the same tale aboot the same dog, an’ it wor allus good enough afore! Who’s been tamperin’ wi’ the law sin’ last year?’’

PRACTICE

Once upon a time the operating sur- geon who took off a leg by his most careful method of amputation account- ed for the death of the patient as due to the ‘‘shock’’ of the operation.

A comparatively few years ago, when discovery was made that by injecting the brine of sea salt into the arteries of the patient this brine became blood through chemical action, deaths from the ‘‘shocx’’ of amputations were di- minished vastly. Today the surgeon is asking himself: What of the continu- ed nervous shocks which the prospec- tive patient may be undergoing in every walking hour, perhaps for days, as he lies in the hospital ward in pre- paration for the ordeal?

Rarely only does the surgeon find that seemingly fatalist type of person apparently without nerves who will say to him, ‘‘Go ahead! if it’s necessary, then it is necessary—and that’s all there is to it!’’ Rare as this stocial type is, it is by no means convincing to the operator that this patient—con- trolling his nerves—is not called upon for the expenditure of a tremendous nerve foree in providing that he is without nerves. Holding one’s ner- vousness in abeyance through power of en t require nerve force, after all?

Along this line European surgeons have been making observation and in- quiry, with a view to saving the pa- tient whatever nerve shock may come before there is real necessity for his reserve iorees, One of these processes that now are under observation an test is that through which the patien in preparation for the operating table is required to inhale harmlessly vola- tile liquids every morning, Incidental to this occasional hypodermic injee- tions of sterilized water are given, ac- eustoming the patient to the slight pain and reassuring him as far as possible. It may be deception, but deception to a worthy end. For after a number of applications of the harmless volatile liquids it has been found that on the unexpected morning of the operation the patient may be anaesthetized be- fore he knows it; or if injection of morphine be the agent, it may be given without awakening him to the fact. Thus, he is spared the nervous strain that comes of unloading a conscious patient from his bed to a wheel table, earting the table down corridors and halls to the operating room—and the average patient excited to the limit of his natural fears.

Under present antiseptic surgery the operating room to an average patient is a weird chamber of horrors, Steam- ing sterilizers are miniature volcanoes in action, Glittering instruments of steel are everywhere. Surgeons, assist- ants, and nurses are weirdly gowned. If in a elinie the student body is ranged along the walls, craning necks that they may see. Can one fail to appre- ciate the possibilities for good in any plan of deception whereby he may be taken off his nervous guard, to awaken with the operation done?

Having referred to the principle that sea water injected into the human arteries is converted in to blood, the ex- periments of Professor Rene Quinton of Paris are especially interesting in this connection,

Out of his studies and experiments Prof. Quinton is advancing the theory that salt water taken from the lowest depths of the ocean contains the vital elements of organic cells, without which life would be impossible on this sphere. It is one of the oldest of phy- siological facts that the human body is largely water. Prof, Quinton says that this watery element is true sea water. He says that the 168 pound man contains fifty-six pounds o1 sea water, in which the red corpuscles of his blood swim, ‘Tracing life back to the sponge-like ancestors of both man and brute, Quinton accounts for the brine in the blood as the remains of that medium in whieh our ancestors lived, J

One of Quinton’s experiments of sev- eral years ago is interesting. He took a dog that was in good health, and bled it to death, taking from arteries and

To a foreigner, anxious to master the language, it was explained that a crowd of ships is termed a fleet, while a fleet of sheep is called a flock. Further, a flock of girls is called a bevy, a bevy of wolves is called a pack, a pack of thieves is called a gang, a gang of an- gels is called a host, and a host’ of porpoises is called a shoal, and a shoal of buffaloes is called a herd, and a herd of children is called a troop, and a troop of partridges is ealled a cove

BRITAIN’S LONG STOCKING

It is just fifty years since the big- gest savings bank in the world was opened, It began in a very small and timid way, only a few selected offices being used. In its first year 180,000 people trusted it with their money, however. And, since then the num- ber has swelled to nearly twelve mil- lions, The one and three-quarter mil- lions of money belonging to thrifty Britishers that the bank held at the end of its first year has jumped to the colossal figure of a hundred and sixty- nine millions,

The growth of the great ‘‘S, B.’’ is, in fact, one of the romances of bank- ing. In its upward progress it has wiped out of existence nearly four hun- dred rival savings banks.

The one room in which twenty clerks used to do the whole of its work has multiplied into the largest banking building in the world. Even in child- ren’s postage stamps alone the bank takes in $500,000 a year, a sum with which many an ordinary bank would be quite content as its whole receipts. The great reason for its rise is, of course, that every depositor knows his money is even safer there than in the Bank of England, as it has the direct security of the national taxes behind it. But it may be news to many peo- ple that the government acts as banker to other savings banks, too; banks in lands we are accustomed to think of more in connection with idols and canni- balism than with bank books.

Fiji, the Gold Coast, and Uganda, each have their Post Office Savings Bank, backed by the British Govern- ment, and the dusky depositor, though when he visits the Post Office he may be clad in little else than, his bank book, takes to the idea as kindly as does the Britisher. Other interesting depositors in the Savings Bank are several of our younger royal princes and princesses.

The ‘‘S. B.’’ has its worries. The great one is the depositor who keeps popping his money in and out as if the bank were a trousers pocket.

It was only recently that the Post-

master-General had to make a public protest against this habit, on the ground that. each transaction, whether a with- drawal or a deposit, eosts about six- pence in working expenses,

Some of the more glaring offenders were tractfully appealed to by letter. One schoolboy who was in the habit of depositing a shilling and drawing it rapidly out, twopence at a time, week after week, and month after mouth, in- dignantly demanded in his reply what

Pre- pared with deep sea water equal in quantity to the blood taken from the animal, Quinton pumped the arteries full of brine, iraculously the dog awakened, sat up, wagged his tail and for four years it lived, finally to die a natural death. No ill effects were ob- servable in any way,

HANDED HIM THE LAUREL

The Prevaricators’ Society of Bal- larat_ and Woolloomooloo was proceed- ing in peace and harmony, till the snake-story man spoke. ‘‘Some peo- ple,’’ he said, ‘‘consider the snake has- n’t got any sense; but they’re wrong. For instance, once when I was in India, T saw a Hindu mother place her year-old baby outside the hut to sun himself, and, to keep his spirits up, she gave the little chap a big feeding-bottle of milk. Well, as IT watched I saw a snake insinuate himself close up to that child. My heart was in my mouth. I feared for the baby. But, bless you, the snake was only after the milk! He just slipped the teat out of the child’s mouth and into his own, and then the thoughtful and kindly reptile put the end of his tail into the child’s mouth by way of a comforter!’’

With a great sob the president of the society arose and handed the laurel wiich encircled his brow to the snake story man,

And ther they passed silently out in- to the night.

MUST BE GUILTY

In a sparsely settled region of West Virginia a motor car driver was once haled before a local magistrate upon the complaint of a constable. The mag- istrate, a good-natured man, was not, however, absolutely certain that tne Washingtonian’s car had been driven too fast; and the owner stoutly insisted that he had been progressing at the rate of only six miles an hour,

‘*Why, your honor,’’ he said, ‘‘my engine was out of order, and I was go- ing very slowly because I was afraid it would break down completely. I give you my word, sir; you could have walked as fast as I was running.’’

‘*Well,’’ said the magistrate, after due reflection, ‘‘you don’t appear to have been exceeding the speed limit, but at the same time you must have been guilty of something or you would n’t be here, loitering.’”’ q

THE DOCTOR’S REVENGE

It is always a pieasure to hear or

read of arrogance rebuked, hence is add- ed this little tale: —

An elderly lady whose characteristics entitle her to the present name of Mrs. Portly Pompous had a pet monkey which suddenly became ill. She had the as- surance to send for a prominent physi- cian to treat the little beast.

When the doctor was introduced to his patient he was very much enraged, but he did not betray himself. He took the sick monkey’s pulse and asked the usual questions,

Now in the room was a little boy, Mrs. Portly Pompous’s grandson. The doctor approached the boy, examined his pulse also, and then said solemnly to the lady: ‘‘Madam, your two little grandchildren are suffering from indi gestion. Give them only light food, with plenty of exercise, and they will come out all right.’’

THE HUDSON BAY ROUTE

With the definite issue of tenders for the construction of the first section of the line from The Pas, on the Cana- dian Northern, the nearest railway ter minus to Hudson Bay, the opening up of the Hudson Bay route has entered the practical stage. The business world will now have to take ca-eful stock of the possibilities of the pro- ject and judge for itself to what ex- tent it is likely to contmbute to the development of North-Western Canada and to the expansion of inter imperial trade,

The geographical advantages of the route are obyious to anyone who has once looked at a globe and realized that the Canadian North-West is no

further from England than Eastern Canada, From Liverpool to Fort Churehill, on the western shore of Hud-

son Bay, is only 3,946 nautical miles—- nineteen miles more than the distance from Liverpool to Montreal by Cape Race, and 185 miles more than the dis- tance to Montreal by Belle Isle Straits. But the greater part of the prairie re- gion is fully 1,000 miles nearer to Churchill than it is to Montreal, The route from Edmonton or Saskatoon via Winnipeg, Port Arthur and Montreal to England, which looks so direct on the ordinary flat map, really rcpreseuts a detour of over 1,000 miles additional railway journey. The direct route is across by Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits, This fact is no new discovery of some inspired student of geography. For very nearly a century Hudson Lay was the principal gateway to the North- West, and it was the advantage in dis- tance and facility of transportation over both Eastern Canada and the Uni- ted States that enabled the Hudson’s Bay Company first of all to absorb the North-Western Company, whose base was Montreal, and secondly to establish effective British occupation over a vast region which woula other- wise inevitably have fallen into Ameri- can hands.

Even before the cession of the com- pany’s territories to the Dominion in 1869 the westward extension of the American railways and the establish- ment of steamship services on the Great Lakes had, however, begun to

Nevertheless the expansion of the North-West has taken place, and is tak- ing place, at a rate whick has continu- ously outrun the provision of transpor- tation, and has aequired a magnitude which noW justifies bold departures and big expenditures, For years past, so the West asserts, there has been a con- tinuous grain blockade. It has been stated that not more than 30 per cent. of the wheat crop can get shipped away from Port Arthur before Lake Superior freezes up, the rest having to wait till next spring. Again, during tne period of harvest the westward traflic is no little disorganized, and merchants com- plain that they have the greatest diffi culty in replenishing their stores just wien they are most anxious to do so to meet the farmers’ autumn purphases. The demand for a new outlet to tide water has become so strong in the West that no Government could have resisted it. The route will be opened up, that is certain. The question is: Will it be a really practical contribu-

FICKLENESS OF THE PUBLIC

To read that Mr, Hall Caine has been denounced and almost mobbed in the Isle of Man is a fvrther proof of the fickleness of popular applause. Mr, Caine may be said to be the discoverer of the Isle of Man, its literary Chis- topher Columbus. And now the Manx- men turn upon him and metaphorically rend him, and for no better cause than a word of censure.

The Isle of Man is practically a self- governing community with its own parliament and even a sort of king. It administers its own justice, and Mr. Caine’s offence consists in a public statement that Manx justice is a very bad kind of justice, not easily to be dis- tinguished from rank injustice,

The Manx deemsters, says Mr. Caine, recognize only one kind of erime, (the crime against property. Grave out rages inflicted upon women and children are hushed up or troated as the mere exuberances of frolicsome human na ture, The remedy that he suggests is a court of appeal to be presided over by English judges, and at such a pro posal the heart of Manxland ceased for a moment to beat. But Mr, Caine was not dismayed. He announced that he would make a speech at the end of a performance of ‘‘The Christian’’ at

Nor does Hudson Bay itself offer any difficulties to navigation, except occa- sional vagaries of the compass caused by the proximity of the Magnetic Pole.

for traflie for seven months in the year, or possibly even all the year round with the help of ice-breakers. The real diffi- culty is not in the Bay, but in Hudson Straits, which get choked up with Are- tic ice from Fox Channel and Davis Strait, and are not available for ordin ary steamship traffic before the last ten days of July and after the first ten days or so of November, Experience may enable this period to be prolonged by a es TERRIBLE THREAT few days at the beginning and a fort-| lo the blare of martial music the sol night or more at the end, but broadly diers were returning to headquarters speaking the total period of navigation|from garrison duty at Malta.

Some of the grounds on which breach of promise cases ure brought forward are equally amusing. Ono young man, for instance, who had the pluck to bring a breach of promise case against & young woman who had jilted him wished to contend that by breaking off the engagement, which had lasted some time and was known to a large number of le, his late sweetheart had seri- ously damaged his reputation. His argu- ment was that the blame for the rup- ture would fall on him, being the man. Another woeful wooer wished to ro- cover damages for the loss of a certain social position which he said he would have obtained had his lady-love not jilted him; but alas! the law supported the lady and the young man was still left bemoaning his luck.

Turning from theso troubles in Hy- men’s realms, one might mention, among otber laughable trials, that of the Washington parrot, who was arrest- ed on a charge of profanity four sat ago. The complainants were neighbors of the owner of the parrot, and it was stated in evidence that the bird was such a depraved character that it was teaching the children in the noighbor- hood to swear. It was further said that the parrot on Sundays sang popu- lar songs as people were passing to ehurch, and when the policeman started to give evidence ‘‘Polly’’ gave an ex- ample of its slanging capabilities by shouting ‘‘Shut up, Nosey!’’ Ulti- mately a compromise was arrived at

Perhaps one of the most extraordin- ary cases on record was that of a —— member of parliament who in 1903 was sentenced to fifteen days’ im- prisonment and ordered to pay a fine of $2.50 for yawning in parliament, The crown proseeutor, who conducted the care against the prisoner, main- tained that the defendant had yawned in order to annoy the government.

notions. Thus, for! foreign bodies, the principal basis of the diagnosis was of- ten the patient’s own story; ‘and every physician knows that in many eases for eign bodies are unsuspected or even im aginary. Radiography is sometimes a great help, but often it is powerless be- fore a body of small density like a fruit stone.

‘*Today endoscopy gives us an oppor- tunity to see, not the shadow, but tae thing itself; it enables us to ascertain the nature of this foreign body, wheth- er it is free or encyster, whether the walls-of the conduit avo wounded; _it also shows us pathologica! alterations of the esophagus, as well as the loca- tion and nature of tumors or ulcerations of the wails of the conduits. Many in- trathoracic tumors that have eseaped notice, such as introthoracic goiters and aneurysms of the aorta, have been diagnosed correctly by the endoscopic method. '’

Owing to this extension of sight into places formerly hidden from view, the treatmont of foreign bodies in the di gestive and respiratory passages has been greatly improved. A few years ago the physician was usually in doubt and often in despair. When certain means of doubtful value had been tried, such as emetics, holding the patient head downward, slapping his body, and administering thick pastes intended to earry the foreign body down into the stomach, the prudent physician ceased his efforts. Some more daring ones in troduced at random instruments such as hooks or ‘‘umbrellas,’’ and made vain and dangerous attempts that were more apt to be fatal to the patient than to bring up the foreign body. More- over:

‘*Other surgeons, still more enterpris ing, proposed to reach the esophagus or bronchial tubes by cutting through the ebest--an elegant operation doubtless, but not of encouraging results, the mortality being one hundred per cent.

‘At present, thanks to endoscopy in the hands of o skilful operator, we have a rational, sure and safe method of treatment. When the endoscopic tube has been pushed in as far as the for- eign body, it is easy to introduce an electromagnet, # pincers, or some in strument specially designed to extract foreign bodies. and to withdraw the offending article under control of the sight, without injuring the walls of the conduit.

CUTTING, HUSKING AND STORING CORN

When corn bas reached the stage in which the kernel is well glazed and the milk entirely dried up, it is ready for harvesting, and should be cut and put into shocks. If allowed to stand after this stage of maturity is reached, the fodder will dry very rapidly, and soon become useless for feeding. The usual date at whieh corn-harvesting is done is from the 10th to 25th ot Sep- tember, but this depends, of course, on the date of planting, and also on the method and thoroughness of cultivation as corn that is neglected will not ma- ture iv as short a time as that which has been planted on good soi! and culti- vated thoroughly throughout the grow- ing season.

Speaking in a genera] way, there are at present only two methods of cutting corm in Ontario: First, with the sickle or hoe; secoud, with the corn binder. Kither o. these methods has some ad- vantages. Lf labor is scarce, as it gen- erally is at harvest time, one man and a good team can cut six acres per day with a corn binder, shocking go undone until the erop is all cut, thereby preventing the fodder from getting overripe; and, while the ’ t loss to the fodder from lying unshocked large intestine, ‘Gastroseopy’ and ‘sig-|is considerable, yet it is not equal to moidoscopy’ have been created, what it would be if allowed to stand

iently handled than it could if eut by hand and not’ tied in bundles,

Corn that is cut with the sickle should be set up in shocks of from 64 to 80 hills each, It is not best to make the shocks too large, as the fodder is more apt to mould, especially if it is very greon, as it frequently is when the ears are quite ripe enough for cutting.

The secret in pron | corn shocks to stand well and not go down in a heavy wind is in having them properly tied. All that is required for this is one of the corn stalks fastened tightly around the shock as near the top as ble. While it requires some skill to draw the stalk tight without breaking it, yet with a little practice it can casily be done.

It is always advisable to husk the corn in the field. This should be done as soon as the ears are sufficiently d for storing. The method generally fol- lowed is to draw the corn to the erib as fast as husked. The crib in which it is to be stored must be built as open as possible. The siding must be of nar- row lumber, not more than 4 inches wide, nailed on with onetinch space be- tween the boards. The crib must also be built quite narrow, not more than four feet across at the bottom, and 5 feet at the top. This will permit free circulation of air through the entiro contents of the crib.

The fodder, when husked, is tied in bundles of a size convenient for hand- ling, and not set up in large shocks, usually putting four shocks of corn into one shock of fodder, When the fodder is thoroughly dry, it should be hauled to the barn or stack. If the corn has been frosted before cutting, the fodder will be hard to cure, the stalk retain- ing the moisture for a long time? In this case it is advisable to stack the fodder outside in a long, narrow rack or rick, so that the length of every stalk is exposed to the sun and wind. It is absolutely useless to store green corn,

FAMOUS STOLEN PICTURES

The recent theft of what Parisians consider to be the world's most famous pictnre—Vinci’s masterpiece, ‘‘ La Bio conda,’’ from the Louvre—naturally re- ealls the theft of Gainsborongh’s ‘*Duchess of Devonshire,’’ and its ro- mantic recovery twenty-five years later. Messrs. Agnew had bonght the picture for 10,000 ineas in 1876, and it had not been exhibited more than a week in their Bond Street galleries when the attendant, entering the room one morn- ing, found that the picure was gone. It had been cut out of its frame and car ried away. ;

Rewards were offered and every effort made to trace the thief, but without suc cess; and it wae not until 1901 that in- formation was received by Messrs. Ag new that the ‘‘stolen Duchess’’ was in America, and would be banded over for $15,000 provided ‘‘no questions were asked,’’ One of the ~artners in the firm went over to America, and after

ngements 22 ‘be ~roturaed with the picture, which it was thought had long since been destroyed.

Another priceless oil-painting by Gainsborough was stolen by burglars from a house in Kensignton in Novem ber, 1906, and was not recovered for eighteen months, when it was found by the police under the door-step of an empty house in Victoria Park. Another picture robbery, which in its time cre- ated a tremendous sensation, was the theft of the Murillo from the cathedral at Seville. It turned up in New York some time after, and was bought for $250 and returned to the Spanish au thorities by Mr. William Schaus, who refused to touch a cent of the $10,000 reward that had been offered.

A miniature by Plimer was unscrewed from the walls of the National Portrait Gallery in broad daylight, and has never been heard of; while in July, 1905, a Franz Hals, valued at $50,000, was stolen from the Antwerp Museum, and has not yet been recovered.

In 1907 Van Dyck’s ‘‘Raising of the Cross,’’ estimated to be worth from $100,000 to $200,000, was stolen from its frame in Courtrai Chureh, in Belgium. It wus unexpectedly recovered six weeks after, however. Then there waa Millet’s ‘‘Shepherd and Flock,’’ val ued at $10,000, which was eut from its frame in « museum at San Francisco some fifteen months ago by a young ar tist. who, on arrest, said thar ‘‘be only wanted to copy it.’’ Sidney Cooper's **Monarch of the Meadows’’ was stelen from a house some years ago by decora- tors, one of whom, by writiay offering to restore the picture for $2,500 to its owner, enabled the police to track the thieves,

CAMPAIGN POR PEACE OUTLINED

Washington, D.C.-Prof, John Bates Clark, of Columbia University, director of the division of economics and his- ‘tory of the Carnegie endowment for international peace, bas just delivered the preliminary report of the trans- action of the first gathering of peace advocates held under the auspices of the endowment,

Prof. Clark was at the head of the re- cont conference held in Berne, Switzer- land, at which eleven nations were re-

resented and seventeen of the world's eading economists, publicists and states deliberated for a fortnight as to the general outlines for the expenditure of Mr, Carnegie’s $10,000,000,

It is reported by Prof, Clark that the Berne conference formulated a program of education covering a period of more than two years, during which time the efforts of the endowment would be directed to the pro nda of peace based on broad public instruction as to the cost of wars past and to come, in men, treasure and national energy. program of investigations as to the social and moral cost of war was also outlined,

The expenses of all the delegates to and from the conference were borne by the Cornegie fund. In addition to the expenses an honorarium of $1,000 was handed to each member of the gather- ing. .

LIGHTS Fu. AIR-TRACKS

French and German aeronauts are al- ready suggesting the advisability of the mapping out of properly lighted airship tracks for the guidance of aeroplanes and dirigibles travelling by night, or when the weather conditions make it necessary for airmen to fly above low- hanging clouds that hide the landscape. Not so long ago a patent was issued in Germany for a new system of station- ary, luminous aerial buoys of enormous candle power,

These are to be connected by wires with the earth. Different colors are proposed: 2s seamed TUT Threwten- ing storms, the direction of the sur- face winds, and dangerous landing- places.

The principal objection to this scheme seems to lie in the cost of lighting a wuole air track, as the buoys, in orler to be effee..ve, should not be placed too far apart. Nevertheless, it seems that the system may be adopted for a start by some large cities to equipping their landing-places for airships.

THE RAYMOND LEADER

A Forefather of the Boers

Many years ago a band of pirates in fested an island in the North Sea, juet five miles from the Dutch coast, and passed their time in looting the vessels Wind-swept upon its sharp, projecting shores, not always. without bloodshed and cruelty, Finally, however, they at- tracted the notice of King William I., and he commissioned a young lawyer at The Hague, to ‘‘elean up the entire is- land.’’ How it was done is told by Mr. Edward Bok, editor of The Ladies Home Journal, who owns up at the end of the story that the lawyer was his grand- father. He writes in his magazine that the young man decided to make the is- land his home:

But it was a gruesome place. Barren ef tree or living green of any kind, it was as if a man had been exiled to Si- beria. Still, argued the young Mayor, an ugly place is only ugly because it is not beautiful. And beautiful, he de- termined, should this island be.

One day the young stayor-Judge eull- ed together his Council. ‘‘We must have trees,’’ he said; ‘‘we can make this island a spot of beauty if we will.’’ But the practical seafaring men demur- red; the little money they had was needed for matters far more urgent than trees,

**Very well,’’ was the Mayor's decis ion—and little they guessed what the words were destined to mean—‘‘! will do it myself.’’ And that spring he planted one hundred trees; the first the ifland had ever seen,

**Too cold,’’ said the islanders; ‘‘the severe north winds and storms will kill them all,’’

‘«Then I will plant more,’’ said the unperturbed Mayor. And for the fifty years that he lived on the island he did so. One hundred trees each year he planted; and, meanwhile, he deeded land to the island government, which he turned into public squares and parks. And there each spring he planted thonu- sands of young shrubs and plants.

Moistened by the salt mist of the sea, the trees did not wither but grew pro digiously. In all that expanse of tur- bulent sea-——and only those who have seen the North Sea in a storm know how turbulent it can be—there was not a foot of ground for miles around on whieh the birds of that clime, storm- driven across the water-waste, could rest in their flight. Thousands of dead birds covered the surface of the séa.

Then one day the trees had grown large enough to look sctoss the sea, and, spent and driven, the first birds came and rested in their leafy shelter. And others came and found protection, and their gratitude gave vent in song. Within a few yeurs so many birds found the trees in their new island home that they attracted the attention not only of the native islanders, but also of the people on the shore five miles distant, and it was not long before the island beeame famous as the home of the rar- est and most beautiful birds.

Then the Reyal, yacht, with the King

and Queen on board, dropped anehor one day and the Royal visitors came to see the nd and the birds of which they had heard, Forthwith went the fame of ‘*The Island of Birds,’’ as it became known. And so grateful were the birds for their resting place that they chose one end of the island as a special spot for the laying of their eggs and the rais ing of their young, and they fairly peo pled it It was not long before orni thologists from various parts of the world came to ‘‘ Eggland,’’ as the island point came to be known, to see the mar velous sight, not of thousands of bird eggs, but literally of hundreds of thou sands; some even carried the number of eggs into the million.

A pair of storm-driven nightingales had now found the island and mated there, and their wonderful notes thrill ed even the souls of the natives; and as dusk fell upon the seabound strip of land the women and ecbildren would come to ‘‘the squure’’ and hear the evening notes of the birds of golden song. The two nightingales soon grew into a colony, and within a few years so rich was the island ic its nightin gales that it once more . banged its name, and over to the Latch coast and throughout the land amt over into other countries spread the fame of ‘*The Island of Nightingales.’’

Meanwhile the young lawyer had con

tinued to plant his trees—a hundred a year -and soon we read: "Artists began to hear of the place and brought their canvases, and on the walls of hundreds of homes throughout the world hang today bits of the beautiful lanes and wooded spots of ‘‘ The Island ot Nightingales.’’ An American ar tist takes his pupils there almost an nually, and ‘‘In all the world today,’’ he says to his students, as they exclaim at the natural coo) restfuluess of the island, ‘‘there is not a more beautitul place than this,’’

The trees are now majestic in their height of forty and fifty feet; for it is vearly a hundred years since the young attorney went to the island and plant ed the first tree, and the churehyard where he lies is a bower of cool green, with the trees that he planted dropping their moisture on the linchen-covered stone on his grave.

This much, says Mr, Bok, did one man do, ‘*But he did more’’:

After he had been on the barren is land two years be went to the mainland one day and came back bringing with him a bride. It was a bleak place for a bridal home, but the young wife had the qualities of the husband. ‘‘ While you raise your trees,’’ she said, ‘‘I will raise our children,’’ And within a score of years the young bride sent thirteen happy faced, well-brought-up children over that island, and there was reared a home such as is given to few children. ‘It was such a home,’’ said one of the men who subsequently married a daugh- ter of that home, ‘‘that once you had been in it you felt you must be of it, and that if you couldn't marry one of the daughters you would have been glad to have married the cook.’’

One day, when the children had grown to man’s and woman's estate, the mother called them all together and said to them: ‘‘I want to tell you the story of your father and this islamd’’;

and she told them the simple stery that is written here. ;

‘*And now,’’ she snid to them, ‘‘as you go out into the world I want each of you to take with you the spirit of your father’s work, and each in your own way and place, to do as he has done; make you the world a bit more beautiful or better because you have been in it. That is your mother’s message te you.’’

The second son left home .for the Dutch mainland, where he entered a small pulpit; and when he had finished his work he was mourned by King and

peusant os one of the leading clergymen

of his time and people.

A third son, at the risk of his own safety, plunged into the boiling surf on one of those nights of terror so common to that coast, rescued a half-dead sailor, carried him to his father’s hause, and brought him baek to a life of usefuiness that gave to the world that informa- tion of the dead cities of the past which is today a record of imperishable value. For the half-drowned sailor was Hein rich Shliemann, who afterwards became the famous explorer of the dead cities of Troy,

The first son to leave the island home went with a band of hardy men and journeyed to South Africa, where they settled and became known as ‘‘The Boers.’’ Tirelessly they worked at the colony until towns and cities sprang up and a new nation came into being: The Transvaal Republie. The son became Secretary of State of the new country, and today the Unitetl States of South Africa bears tribute, in part, to the mother’s message to ‘‘make the world a bit more beautiful or better.’’

A SECOND DR. JOHNSON

It Dr. Samuel Johnson were alive to day he might well look to his laurels, and in industry at least would find a rival who would run him a very close race, Ewen MaeDonald, whose name isn’t really MacDonald at all, but Delly, has just finished the compilation, com. position, and printing of a Gaelie dic tionary, which ‘‘neat little job,’’ ‘says G. A. Munn, the London correspondent of the Denver Republican, took him sime ‘‘sweet sixteen years—or more.’’ Munn couldn’t help comparing Dwelly and Johnson himself, for he says:

Johnson only compiled the dictionary and in that he had help, but MacDon ald not enly compiled his ‘‘word book,’’ as the title trauslated reads, but set the type himself, cast the stertotype plates, and printed and bound the book. His only assistant was his wife, and her as sistance, he tells me, consisted chiefly in keeping down the household expenses, so that they could live on their savings.

{ had heard from time to time dur } ing the last few years of MacDonald's great work and pictured him as an en thusiastic Scot, laboring to save his na tive tongue from extinction. Imagine my surprise when I called the other day on the new lexicograpbergat bis bome at Herne Bay near London and learned that he isn’t a Scot at all, if birth makes nationality, and that the Gaelic is not his native tongue. Yet so thor oughly has he soaked in the Gaelic that now he speaks English with dif ficulty. And his name isn’t MacDonald either. It is Dwelly and the Dwellys have been settled in Somerset in the southwest of England since 1150. The first recorded connection of the family with Scotland was when MacDonald's great grandfather enlisted in the Cold stream Guards.

Perhaps it is from his great-grand father that MacDonald inherited his love of the bagpipe, for from boyhood he considered the skirl of the pipes the only music worth hearing and his boy ish ambition was to become a pipe ma jor. His father had other ideas, how- | ever, and when he was seventeen he | got his sen a job in a London bank |

Young Dwelly’s first act when he} came to werk in London was to join the} London Scottish, « volunteer regiment made up of exiled Scots, and there he learned to play tke pipes. Ten years of | the bank was all he could stand and he} resigned his post, went to Beotland, and | enlisted in the Fifth Argyll Highland- ers. Then be began to learn Gaelic and he married a Gaelic-speaking wife and, most important of all, he met old Ron ald Mackenziey who is new private piper | of the Duke of Buccleuch. ‘To him he} confided his ambition te be a pipe ma jor. |

‘*Your’e u good piper, DweNy,’’ old| Ronald teld him, ‘‘but you'll sever get on in Scotland with that name. Ewen MazeDonald you shall be, That’s a good honest Bcot’s name, and with that name 1’ll make you a pipe major.’’

Dwelly became MacDonald there and then and before long he was pipe major| of the First Ross. |

But his life-werk soon claimed him, | we read, and MacDonald quit the army to commence his ‘‘ war on words’’—the dictionary, Further: |

The book contains 2,000,000 words, | 20,000 of which MacDonald declares} never have been printed before. |

‘*For instance,’’ he says, ‘‘there are | sixteen separate words to describe the} various marks on sheep’s ears. rhe words descriptive of boats and tackle fill seven pages. Many of the words! have two or three different forms, For instance, the Gaelie word for boat is masculine or feminine according to wh? ther the boat is in water or on land, and many words have differeat gencvrs | in different parts of the country.

‘*Pifteen years ago I started to make a fair copy of my manuscript and it| took me six years to get to the letter ‘G.’ Then I began to look for a pub lisher, but no one would undertake it. They said there would be no sale aud | saw that I would have to be my own publisher, I bought type learned ‘o set | it, and I have set every letter in the book. There are 1,038 double- column pages, 76 lines to the page and 30 letters to the line. I bought a printisg-ma- ehine and soon as ten or twelve

pages were sot I printed ‘them: off and sent the sheets to friends im Srot!nnd for correction,

I soon decided that this was hard work and I bought a small stercotyping-plant, Jearned the trade, and cast the rest of the plates at home,

‘When at about the nine-hundredth page I began to get uncommonly sick of the job, but I kept on, and now 1 have the satisfaction of seeing the book finished.’’

MacDonald's reward for the work of

a lifetime would not attract a trust magnate. He has secured ‘‘as many as’’ GOO subseribers, and is selling the book to them at $10 each. Now, we are told, MacDonald is promising himself a holiday. He is going to devote himself to genealogical work, in which field, he says, he ig revlly interested,

INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE AND PATENTS

A lecture which Prof. Ostwald de- livered at Bonn early this year has just been published in pamphlet form, and we take occasion to note in partieular the reference made therein to the ques tion of an international language in it# relation to patent affairs. Ostwald’s enthusiastic support of the movement for an international language, for which he has made propaganda with his usual vigor and originality, is well known to all, and it is with the greatest interest that we listen to his remarks on the advantages of an international lan- guage in the transaction of patent busi ness. Ostwald observes that with the present system, in which repeated trans ation and re-translation is necessary for the purpose of securing patent pro- tection in the several civilized coun tries, it is almost impossible to assure with perfect certainty, that the inven tion is completely and exactly covered by the specification and claims. Hence it insures that matters of the highest interest, representing often many mil lions of dollars in value, are exposed to the aceidents and frailties of a more or less suecessful translation.

When once we have an international language, the inventor himself will be in & position to express his ideas in a form which will be both intelligible and binding internationally.

While the position whieh Ostwald takes in this matter is on the whole eonvineing enongh, nevertheless the’ question suggests itself whether after all the benefits derived will be quite as complete as expected. For there will be at least one translation required, namely, into the international language, and as yet we have no guarantee that an artificial language ean ever be +.m

taral language. Furthermore, we pave been impressed at different times with the fact that there are apt to be dis sensions in the camp of Exsperantists, Idoists and so forth. These cireum stances seem hardly altogether caleula ted to reassure us in our faith in the international language as a help in patent practice. This remark is made, not with any desire to disparage pro- gressive endeavors, but merely to draw attention to a point which must not be left out of consideration. It international language can be intro duced with success, there can be no question at all as to the great advan tages which will be gained in many fields of commercial activity with its use.

A ‘'‘PRESSE’’ BOGEY

La Presse, Montreal, is vastly con cerned at the presence in Canada of the Duke of Sutherland, accompanied by two other ‘‘sommites cratie Anglaise,’’ querades under the name of ‘‘Lord Beresford.’’ We confess to some amusement at this attempt to depict the bluff Admiral as a feudal landlord, but we graft that the Duke of Suther land is fair game. The charge against him is that since Mr. Lioyd George has broken the back of his feudal author- ity in England he is planning to re trieve his position in Canada, a possi bility which La Presse hysterically calls

have langhed heartily and to have said that he was merely trying to do the best he could for his own people. That is the simple truth? The Scottish pea santry are deserting the countryside which, since princes rattled down in the later seventies, has ceased to offer them a comfortable living. But their de sire to emigrate ie checked by their lack of capital. Here men like the Duke of Sutherland perform invaluable ser- vice. They buy Canadian land and settle their former tenants upon it.

Winnipeg, Oct. 10, 1911.

TO FARMERS,—Since mailing our circular letters to farmers, such a radical change in grain conditions

in Western Canada has taken place that we feel compelled to advise farmers of this change

possible.

these

ae quickly as

When our circular letter was written, the extent of the frost damage in Saskatchewan and Alberta was only a matter of conjecture, but reports coming im now show a deplorable condition over a wide area of Wo provinces. For the last three weeks the weather for threshing and harvesting has been most unsuit

able. Thousands of acres of grain are still uncut, and it is scarcely likely that any of it will be cut. Tests also show that it will not pay to thresh many thousands of acres that have been cut, amd some threshing machines have flatly refused to thresh by the bushel, but will only continue by the day. Frost early this season reduced the grade of wheat in many parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta down to No. 6 wheat and feed wheat, and farmers that have No. 3 Northern or better have every right to consider themselves fortunate. Both Sas- katchewan and Alberta will produce a large quantity of wheat grading No. 4 wheat or lower. Besides this, the damp weather is sure to reduce large quantities of the better qualities to off-grades. Conditions are the worst we have experienced for years. This means that there will be lots of low grade wheat to handle this season, but it does not follow that we will have low prices. Outside conditions guarantee good prices. We have advocated right along that even without damage to our crop we would not have low prices, as the de- mand for wheat all over the world will be enormous. We predict that to-day’s quotations for our grain will loek cheap sometime between now and next July. The day for cheap wheat has gone by. There are too many Ppeopie eating wheat, and the new countries that are opeming up are not any more than keeping pace with the increased consumption. There may be a lot of wheat which will not be fit for grinding purposes such as poor feed. Outside conditions, however, guarantee a good price for this quality of grain, because the feed shortage in Eurepe is enormous, and already Germany is reducing the duty of feed stuffs to prevent the German farmers from marketing their live stock, which wouldbe a menace to the welfare of that conntry, and it is expected that the duty will be removed entirely at the next session of Parliament. As one dealer pats it, and the law upholds: ‘‘Men can starve, but, the cattle must be fed.’’ The approach of winter will be the signal that a good supply of feed stuffs must be purchased and stored, and Europe dare not disobey that sigmal. As the quantity of wheat grading No, 3 Northern, or better, has been reduced considerably by frost, there will likely be an unusually strong demand for these grades throughout the season. It is claimed that the United States mills intend grinding our 1 and 2 Northern wheat in bond. They need it te mix’ with the softer varieties of the Southern States.

Today No. 3 Barley is worth 70c in store, Fort William, We do not look for any decline in these prices, and we expect our Nos. 3 and 4 Barley to advance 10c per bushel and be maintained. Oats are worth 421/.c in store, Fort William, and present indications point to oat values holding their own amd probably advancing higher, as considerable feed stuffs will be required in the United States and Europe, in fact, far more than we can supply.

We have been getting several letters from farmers and they all expect to see prices decline when re- ceipts get heavy, but we cannot see it in that way. Of course, we may have a temporary downward reaction, but this is the time for farmers to hold their grain, and we suggest that farmers select a good, reliable commis- sion merchant, consign all their carlot shipments of grain to him, and then rely upon his advice as to the proper time to sell or hold. It will pay them well to do this. We do not think it advisable for farmers to hold grain too long. The heavy storage charges in the terminal elevators eat heavily into the profits acorned through any substantial advance in market prices, and when prices at the beginning of the season are fair, we advise selling. Of course, there are times when by holding anywhere from ten days to two months, the advancing market makes it a very profitable deal, but as to the advisability of holding for even this length of time, we think it best for farmers to depend upon the advice given by his commission agent.

We feel sure that the above information and advice is going to dispel the quandary which many farmers are in as to the advisability of marketing their grain now or holding, and even if this sheuld be all, we would feel repaid for the expense of publishing this information, However, we know that farmers, even more than other business men, recognize and appreciate a good turn, and will show their appreciation substantially when the opportunity offers. We know that our old customers will still employ us to handle their grain consign. ments this season, as in other years, but we also know that there are many others who appreciate our information and advice, and many of these will show their appreciation this season by forwardimg us at least qne car-lot shipment to be handled on commission, Get better acquainted with us now by shipping forward a car early in the season, and we are perfectly satisfied that you will be so pleased and glad to let us have the handling of the balance of your grain this season, and that future years will bring us all your grain shipments. We know we can satisfy you and there is nothing else necessary to hold your custom. We UNDERSTAND this grain business THOROUGHLY and that COUNTS.

P.8.—If at all possible, don't thresh your grain until it is thoroughly dry. Have patience. It will pay to wait, even for a considerable length of time. Good dry milling grades of wheat will likely be drawimg 4 good premium this season, and it could easily happen that the drying facilities at Fort William and

perce : would not prove equal to drying a very large quantity of damp and tough grain rushed forward. An cver-

might force shippers to sell out at sacrifice prices to prevent loss from heating.
