Most famous of all orchard areas is the Annapolis Valley iu Nova Sco- tia nine miles wide and eighty miles hang.

Plums and pears are grown wherever apples are produced in Ontario, British Columbia has developed its fruit industry during quite recent gears, the number of fruit trees in- creasing from 650,000 in 1901 to ap- proximately 3,000,000 in 1913; and the production of apples from, 210,000 bushels in 1910 to 787,750 bushels in 1915. The principal fruit -producing pection of the Province is the Okan- gan Valley, where fruit is packed and marketed largely in a co-operative pay, similar to that in vogue in Nova Scotia. There is also a large apple see - Mon in the Kootenay Lake District and on the Lower Mainland, Pears and plums are also grown very success- fully in these sections of the province already mentioned, and peaches have been planted quite extensively in the southern part of the Okanagan Val- ieY Between 1,250,000 and 1,500,000 bar- rels of Canadian apples are consumed outside of Canada every year, and most of these in Great Britain.

Per downright excruciating pain few ailments can be compared to sciatic rheumatism. Since thin condi- tion of the sciatic nerve denotes ex- haustion of the nervous system, the logical cure is found in the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food to nourish the starved nerves back to health and vigor. Reports are continually coming in to us regarding tho splendid results obtained in the treatment of sciatic rheumatism by tieing Dr. Chase's Nerve Food after each meal and Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills occasion- ally as a means of arousing the action of the liver, kidneys and bowels and thereby keeping the sys- tem freed of pain causing poisonous impurities, Mr. W, J.

CANADA'S CONTRIBUTION TO CARELESSNESS In war time, and while many interests are urging thrift and economy, the Canadian people are burning up their created resources at a much greater tate this year than last. During the first five months of 1916, the fire loss in Canada has exceeded that of January to May, 1915; lyy ap- proximately $3,000,000, or $000,000 per month. At this rate of increase, our fire loss will exceed that of 1915 by $7,200,000. Canada has need of all her financial resources. She is borrowing the money to carry on the war, and is paying five per cent interest thereon. The additional fire loss of 1916, would there- fore pay the interest charge on the recent war loan of $100,000,000 and would pay $2,200,000 of the principal. Canada's average annual fire loss, of over $23,000,000, would pay 5 per cent interest on approximately half a billion dollars. Our fire loss is, however, something for which we are receiving no value, either financial or patriotic; it is simply a tax, due in great part to carelessness, which Canadians appear willing to pay, and which they, as a whole, are doing little to avert.

Nova S.,o- tia has been developing, for some years past, a trade in South America and South Africa, with very satisfac- tory results. }3ritieh• Colombia ex- ports considerable quantities to Aus- tralia and has even experimented with China and Japan. Should any pressure of circum- stances interfere with the export fruit a, trade, a very serious asituatlon would present itself, for it would be neces- sary either to double the consump. tion of fruit in Canada, or to allow tremendous quantities to waste in the orchards. The severity of the situa- tion would only be lessened by con- certed co-operation on the part of -the consuming public and those who cas for to its demands. THE STUMBLING HABIT The habit of stumbling is natural to some horses, and others acquire this through careless and ignorant treat- ment by their owners. This is a bad habit from whatever source it comes. If it is natural with the horse since colthood, he is a hopeless case. His manner of travelling, when driven, may be improved greatly by careful driving. It is best to hold the stumbler with a tight rein and check him up moderately high. In no case abuse the horse for this. The manner in which a horse is shod has much to do with the stumbling habit. A horse that is shod heavily in front and light behind for a number of times is almost sure to acquire this habit. It may also be -the result of weak joints or imperfectly formed legs. A horse that is badly knee sprung is almost always addicted to stumbling. If this effect is noticeable in the youngster, do not buy him with the intention of his developing into a sound horse. Serious accidents are likely to occur from the stumbling habit. If the animal shows any tendency towards stumbling, see to it that he is properly shod, and use all other means and care of driving, etc.. to bring him out of it. Greatest itule of Health.

According to the United States De- partment of Agriculture, the annual waste due to weeds is estimated at $300,000,000 for the whole United States, In certain States where diver- sified farming is the exception and not the rule, the waste is said to approxi- mate $40,000,000 per year. What the waste is in Colorado cannot be accurately estimated, but it is un- doubtedly true that considerable waste occurs. In the intensively cultivated sections the waste is not very large be- cause of the clean culture needed for certain crops. In sections where grain crops are very popular, the waste is quite large. The principal ways in which weeds affect farming are through direct damage to the crop, cutting down the yield, cheapening the product, and lowering the value of land. HOW TO TRIM THE LAMP Good oil can be made to burn badly and poor oil can be made to burn well. The following are some rules for getting good service out of the lamp. The wick, to begin with, should hang straight down in the oil. Then the oil will pass up more freely to the flame, and a better light will be ob- tained. The wick should be cut 'with as thin an edge as possible. If it has a broad burning surface at the top the flame will be yellow instead of white. The chimney should be tight to the brass burner, so as not to let air ill where air is not wanted. The holes at the bottom of the burner should be left open, so as to let plenty of air in where air is wanted. The wick should not be turned so high that it will char or smoke. An old chimney lets a better light through than a new one, and a shallow bowl lamp is better for poor grades,of oil than a deep bowl lamp. An English scientist has succeeded in obtaining seven gallons of fuel oil from a ton of seaweed. Was Troubled With CONSTIPATION FOR OVER FIVE YEARS. Unless one has a free action of the bowels, at least once a day, constipation is sure to ensue, then in the wake of constipation conies sick headache, bilious headaches, jaundice, piles, and many forms of liver complaint. - Milburn's Liza -Liver Pills will regu- late the flow of bile to act properly upon the bowels, thus making them active and regular, and removing the constipa- tion and all its allied troubles. Mr. Phil. G. Robichaud, Pokemouche, N.B., writes: "I have been troubled with constipation for over five years, and I feel it my duty to let you know that it urn your M b s axe- i e L X, v r Pit] se cured me.

Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. i Mgaigagill rr•1 Ela a l:n w -IEri SOLDIERS MARRY There are no rules at present in force in the British army to prevent a soldier :Harrying. Before the war, of course, a soldier, to have his wife officially recognized, had to obtain his command• ing officer's consent. • In the Continental armies the authorities are usually much stricter over the marriage question, both as re- gards officers and men. Every Prussian officer, for example, can only marry after he has received permission from the Kaiser. To obtain that permission he has to fill in papers giving full particulars of his intended bride and all about her family. He must also have the consent of his commanding officer and show that he has a private income of his own if he is below a certain rank. Until within the last few years no French officer could marry unless the lady had an income of at least £50 a year, Though that has been done away with, every officer in the French army must get the consent of the Minister of War and produce satisfactory evidence of the moral character and life of his future wife. A Russian officer is not allowed to marry under the age of 23 except by express permission of the Czar. Like officers in other Continental 'armies, he has to obtain the consent of his com- manding officer. Great Britain and. America, indeed, are practically the only two countries who allow officers to marry without the permission of the authorities. Mexico has 15,251 miles of railway and 46,112 miles of telegraph lines. SvSc�iSS Eighty-five thousand satis- fied owners against un- proved claims and rosy promises You judge a man by what he's done— not by what he says he intends to do. Judge a motor car the same way. Eighty-five thousand and more Cana- dian built fords have "made good" in' actual service., Since 1904 this sturdy, economical car has stood the test— not only in Canada, but through the British possessions. Every passing year has seen Canadian Ford sales mount by thousands of cars —because, under almost every con- ceivable condition, the car has proved itself a splendid all-round utility. It has sold on its record for dependable and economical performance—not on the rosy promises of makers. The man who selects a Ford is backed in his judgment by more than eighty- five thousand satisfied motorists in the Empire. Has this a significance for you? A. M.
