Wilful Waste ,))lakes a Woeful Wont.
Few people are aware to what an
extent this valuable. fertilizer is being
exported from Canada to the United
States, says a writer in the Montreal
Witness. A recent number of the
Country Gentleman, a journal publish -
Al -bony; N, ' , contains on its
most costly page, where the .charge
is forty cents a line, no less than five'
advertisements of " Canada
Wood .Ashes" for sale. The firsts is
by a dealer in Napanee, Ont., wh o
offers these ashes in barrels or car lots
on short notice. The second is by a
New York" firm, which is prepared to
send screened, unleached hardwood
Canada ashes in car -load Lots of from
twelve to twenty tons. The third ad-
vertisement hails from St. Helens,
Ont,, and offers " v+arranted pure
bard -wood ashes," boasting of twenty
ears' experience in the selection and
ikKirecturt-.utnavine, aan
pure, hard -wood unleached ashes ;
mathered under my, personal super-
sion; sifted ready for use in seed

swego firm, claiming to have thirty
ars experience in selecting and ha-
lting the article, " strength and

To anyone who knows the value of
this fertilizer it must seem a deplor-
able . thing • to have it sent in such
wholesale quantities out of a country
whose_ impoverished soils, need it as
much as any land under the sun. But
the mischief is that the value of this
fertilizer is not understood and rea-
lized by the farming, community.
Otherwise, it would not be sold as it
is for a mere song to the travelling
asinrlan for soap -making.. Farmers
and gardners in and around New
York and Boston are willing to pay
twenty-five cents a bushel for these.
ashes, and agricultural chemistry tes-
tifies that they are worth even more
than that. Time was when ashes
were scarce around the great cities
just named, so that leached ashes were
bought at twenty-five cents a bushel.
That was too much, though they are
worth probably sixty per cent as much
as the fresh, unleached article.

The flood has played sad havoc with
the bridges and mill dams in this ,
section. The bridge on the tenth

swept out clean. The bridge on the
eighth con., opposite lot 15 is also a
clean sweep, and . the bridge at Todd's,
