Dr. Haanel Shows That P.'ocess to Be
Cheap and Practical.
A despatch from Ottawa says: Dr.
Ilaanel, Dominion Superintendent of
Mines, has prepared a very valuable re -
'port upon the results of experiments
conducted last year al Sault Ste. Marie
with the Ihermo-electric process of smelt -
Ing Canadian iron ones. The report
Chows that the experiments have been
very successful, and have demonstrated
that Canada's large resources of magne-
tite ores can b3 as economically smelted
as hematite ores by the electric process,
and thut ores of high sulphur content
can be trade into pig iron containing
only a few ihousandths of one per cent.
of sulphur. Dr. hamlet estimates that a
10,Olin horsepower plant, capable of pro-
ducing 120 ons of pig iron per day of
twenty-four hours, would cast $700,000,
and that, allowing for interest and de-
pre'iahuu of plant, the cost of smelting
would be $2.43 per ton. Adding the cost
of otr, clnar(•oul, Tabor, electric energy
and other running expenses, he esti-
males that a ton of pig iron could be
made for $1u.69. The electric smelting
works now being erected at Welland are
expected to produce from thirty-five to
forty tons of pig iron per day. The re-
port Inys much stress upon the possibil-
ity of developing Canada's many iron
deposits by means of the water powers
w Inch are to be found throughout the
Dominion, pointing nut that many water
powers exist in Ontario and Quebec
surrounded by iron ore fields.

LATE SEEDING NO ILIIIRY
Experience Has Proved That Early Spring
Does Not Mean Big Crop.
A despatch from Ottawa says: Official
advices front the \\ ea as to the crop
outlook are satisfactory. The bulk of
the seeding has been completed and ow-
ing to the moist !condition of the soil
1'. is believed that the bachwath►e.s of
the season. will not be so prejudicial us
generally bettered in the East.
1l is pointed out that the old-timers
in the West are of the opinion that
the shortness of the growing season
(here does not Operate against a good
crop, and that as a rule the hest crops
have. not Leen produced whelk the
Spring is exceptionally early er the
seeding completed at an early dale.
In support of this contention it 19
1 -anted out Ilial in 1881, when seeding
was not complelsel by the end of May,
a splendid average crap was garnered,
while in 1884, 11(8.8, IS8:' and 1897 acetl-
ing was late, but the crop yield was
quite satisfactory.
One official of the Interior Depart-
ment sunned up the situation on Wed-
nesday when he said: "There is 1141 need
fer alarm. 1f the lateness of seeding is
ominous of anything it is ominous t f
g(.od crop prospects- The \Vest is not
wt,rrying; it Is the East which is show'
o,g all the en\i••ty.
FOREST SEEDING.
May 1►e Done, But Cost i. Lithe, if Any,
Less Than Planting.
Reproducing a forest by sowing seed
directly on the area to be put into trees
is feasible. It is, however, a method
little used on this continent up to the
present, for it has been found that the
cost Ira. been as great, nt least, as Ihnl
of planting, owing to the high price or
seed and the cultivation which roust he
given to the ground to be sown.
\ good seed bed is just ns important
f• : .sowing forest tree seeds on as it is
f. r sowing grain on. hence the. whole
+ • a en which it: is proposed to sow
I:.•• • Is must be carefully cultivated.
i . I• ad of only n small proportion, as
planting. This, at least, applies to
1 : • ofenst seeding.
\ great objection to seeding, at pre -
is the high price of the seed, and
in the ease of wine specles, its scar-
city at any prig. The present price of
while pine seed. for example, is two
and two and n half dollars per pound.
In Germany it Is euS!Onulry to sow six
foun& of white pine seed to the acre.
'Thus the expenditure for seed alone
would be $12 to $15. Still, it would 1 e
possible lo do with smaller quantities
