(1) Trail to Yoho Valley. (2) C.P.R. Station and Hotel at Glacier.
CANADA. is a land of trails.
Trails over mountains and hills,
across prairies and through
forests, by the banks of rivers be-
yond number and across country to-
ward a distant sky line. Trails made
Eby red men, by white men, and by
nature.
But the mountain trails are the
most alluring of them all, and hitting
trails is the rarest of sport in Rock-
ies or.: Selkirks, all the way from the
ILananaskasis Pass on the east to the
Yale gateway on the west.
The trail traveller feels the charm
of the trail as soon as it is hit. It
keeps you guessing where it is a hit-
or-miss highway, where you require
the keenness of an Indian to tell the
way by the slighest of signs—a few
twigs broken here, the mould of a
horses' foot there, a blazed tree yen -
der, and then there will bo a skip
of a few yards that will throw you off
the scent if you don't look out. Some-
times the trail is the way of a moun-
tain stream, but just where you should
emerge on the other side is a mystery
unless you are in charge of guide
or outfitter. A bog, too, will play
tricks on you, for it carries few
traces of other trailers.
Hundreds of miles of excellent
trails have been made in the Canadian
mountain ranges try the Canadian
Pacific Railway and the National
Parks department of the Canadian
Government. Most of them are made
for pony use, and mounted on one of
these sure-footed little beasties of the
west, you can be an explorer •of the
wilds and revel In the experience.
Every mile of the devious way is a
way of varying charm, every turn of
the trail reveals new wonders.
Many t:ail trips are now made in

loops. There is the one from Glacier
station up the Cougar Valley to the
caves and back by a loop route and
over a pass that brings to view some
of the sublimest scenery in the Sel-
kirk's. The literal ups and downs of
this unique scenic route, as the rail-
ways would say, add to the interest,
now in the bed of the valley, closed
in by trees and huge plants like the
Devil's Club, now climbing a thou-
sand feet from which superb views
are had of the kingly peaks like Sir
Donald.
The trail traveller will find another
region of infinite variety and attrac-
tiveness ha the series of trails radiat-
ing from Field and leading up the
Yoho Valley to the Yoho Glacier field
at its upper end. One may go north-
ward by the valley route, passing the
Takkakaw, the Twin and the Laugh-
ing Falls, and return by the upper

trail, bordering a charming lake ot1
two, the nose of the Vice -President'
glacier, Summit Lake and then the
steep down -hill bit to Emerald Lake
and the tree -bordered avenue that will
bring one back to Field. Shelter
huts or tents make ft possible to
spend some days on this marvellous
trail way, amid alpine region of sur-
passing beauty.
Lake Louise will also provide de-
lectable trail paths, especially that
leading to Paradise Valley and its
circle of giant summits, and Sentinel
Pass, leading to the valley of the
Ten Peaks, while in the Rocky
Mountain Park and Banff, the routes
are multiplying year by year.
Yes, trail hitting is rare sport, I
repeat, and no country in the world
affords greater facilities for its
joyment than our Own
mountains.
TEMPERATURE IN THE SILO
Every one who has used a silo has
observed that at times the silage be-
comes hot. This is generally noticed
on the surface during mild weather, as
when the silage is being fed in rather
small quantities. Many have supposed
that the entire mass of silage becomes
veru hot and that a certain amount of
heat is necessary to preserve it.
Agents of various types of silos have
also taken advantage of the lack of
general Information on this subject to
make claims for or against certain
types of silo on the ground that the
temperature of the silage is influenced
by the particular construction.
The Missouri Experiment Station
decided two years ago to get the facts.
Electric thermofneters were placed in
silos to tate the temperature. A ;bib
was placed in the silo during fiiliog at
any point where it was desirable to
take the temperature. This bulb had
wires leading to the outside of the silo,
so tie temperature could he taken with
an electrical device at any time, Tem-
perature readings were taken near the
centre ' f tbt: silage mass and at tae

wall at frequent intervals during two
seasons in from 8 to 10 silos, including
stave, iron, tile and concreti.
It was found that the temperature in
the depth of the silage is never high
as is so often thought. After filling,
the temperature rises from 5 to 10 de-
grees the first few days, and then
slowly declines during the fall and win-
ter until it reaches the lowest point,
about 40 degrees, in March. In good
silage, the temperature seldom goes
if any, above
10!) F , and may not be above 00. The
only high temperatures found are at
the surface, when the air comes in con-
tact with silage. Furthermore, a tem-
p.rature much above 100 means loss
of silage, as some of the material is
being actually burned to make the
heat. Mould will raise the tempera-
ture some. Corn put in the silo in a
mature condition develops more heat
than that put in green. No relation
was found between the material used
in the construction of the silo and the
temperature of the silage. Practically
no difference in the freezing of the
silage on the wall was observed with
the different kinds of silos.

avoided by mixing a third of a cup of

CANADA'S PLEDGE
(Ottawa Journal)
During the month of July less than
8,000 Canadians were enlisted for
overseas service.
Canada has still to provide 146,000
men in order to fulfil Sir Robert Bor-
den's New Year pledge of half a mil-
lion.
At the July rate of enlistment they
would not be secured a year and a
half from now, and many of them
would not be trained for service until
1918.
There seems to be something wrong
somewhere.
It is not enough to say that the July
falling off in recruits was due to har-
vesting; the figures for June were not
much better.
If the country is going to keep its
pledge it had better bestir itself.
Letting things go in the haphazard
fashion of the present is certainly far
from being creditable,
A Necessity in the House
Most of the common ills of life arise
from a torpid, sluggish condition of the
liver, kidneys Or bowels, and, because
they act on each of these organa in a
direct and specifie way, Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills overcome serious
and painful diseases over which
ordinary medicines have no control.
NONSENSE SCARE
Said the river to the forest,
"I would go away somewhere,
And would like the same to borrow
If you have a trunk to spare."
Said the forest: "At your service
Are my trunks. I oft have said,
When you go upon your journey,
May I lie upon your bed?"
Said the river: 4'1 am sorry,
But my springs Are out of whack.
I allow to get some new ones
Just as soon as I come back.
As it is, ,your welcome to it,
And I think 'mould be a lark,
When the lobsters try to bite you,
If you'd Scare them with your bark,"
Said the river: "I must travel
As becomes my wealth and rank,
And should I run out of money
I can draw upon my bank."
And his mouth began to water,
Thinking on what he would get,
So he started on his journey,
And I hear he's going yet,

Unable To Sleep
Or Do Any Work.
SUFFERED FROM HER NERVES.
Mrs. Thomas Harris, 8 Corrigan St.,
Kingston, Ont., writes: "I lead been a
constant sufferer, for many years, with
my nerves, and was unable to sleep at
night, or do any work through the day.
I at last decided to consult a doctor and
find out what was really the trouble
The first one told me I would have to go
under an operation before I would be
well, but I would not consent to this. One
day I took a fit of crying, and it seemed
that if anyone spoke to me 1 would have
to order than out of the house. I must
have been crying two hours when my
insurance agent carne in. He advised me
to try a box of Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills, and I at once sent to the
drug store and got two boxes, and before
I had them taken I felt like a different
person. I have told others about there.
and they have told the they would not
be without thetn, I van very thankful I
started to take Milburn's Ilcart and
Nerve Pills."
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills are
50 cents per box, or 3 boxes for $1.2.55, at
all dealers or mailed direct on receipt
of price by The T. Milburn Co., Limited,
Toronto, Ont.
Why Wet Land Is Cold.
C. G. Hopkins, soil expert, says that
five times as much beat is required to
evaporate water from the surface of
a soil as would be needed to raise the
temperature of the same amount of
water from the freezing to the boiling
point, says Farm and Fireside. This
explains why wet and poorly drained
soils are cold.
Tile drainage removes the excess
of water. Then the beat of the sun is
able to make some headway in warm-
ing the soil. But if the soil is con-
tinually saturated with water the con-
stant evaporation keeps the tempera-
ture down in spite of the sun's warmth.
When Your Eyes "Snap,''
When you read in books and things
that So-and-so's eyes "snapped" with
excitement or anger you are not to
suppose that his (or her) orbs made a
snapping sound as they glanced about
the room. We have it on no less an
authority than the Journal of the
American Medical Association that the
eyes of man "can move accurately,
noiselessly, with the greatest precision
to any object in any part of the field
of vision."
Overpledged.
"Lend me $10, old man. I pledge you
my word of honor I'll pay it back next
Saturday."
"Sorry, but I loaned you fifteen on
that security a month ago. I'll have to
ask you to put up something more tan-
gible this time." ,a
