That elusive something called style cannot be made in a factory.
Good tailoring—the draping and nutting and modeling of cloth
—is an .A,rt, nothing less.
Every good merchant tailor believes this with all his soul.
Ho knows it from hie own year's experience, patience and toil as
a craftsman. He knows that merely to fit is but a small part of
a good tailor's art. The right sort of clothes—the clothes you want—
appeal as much through fitness as through fit.
Through an air of distinction and elegance a good tailor can
express the best there is in you. He oan snake your clothes bespeak
class. He can preserve individuality. He can give personality a
chance. Yon want such clothes and they can bo had in only one
way= -they must be cut and made expressly for you, from faultless
fabrics, by that artist of merchants—a merchant tailor. 'These are
tailoring facts. In neglecting them you wrong opportunity.

A GOOD STRAWBERRY.
The Buster Considered One of the Best
Varieties of This Valuable Fruit.
According to W. T. Macoun, horti-
culturist of the central experiment
farm of the Canadian department of,
agriculture, the rapid extension of.
TEE BUSTER STRAWBERRY.
strawberry growing has resulted in,
the production of very large crops of
this valuable fruit, especially in the
eastern provinces of the Dominion,
where strawberries have come into
very general use. The ease with
which new varieties of this fruit are
produced from seed has resulted in
the introduction during the past few
years of a large number of new sorts.
The Buster, originated by 0. C.
Stone of Moline, Ill., is called one of
the best varieties. It Is roundish,;
large, bright rather pale red, with not
prominent seeds. The flesh is bright
red, juicy, briskly subacld, moderately
firm, of medium to above in quality.
The season is medium late to late,
plant vigorous, with medium number
of runners; foliage good, but rusts
considerably. It keeps its size well.
FARMERS' BOYS AND GIRLS.
Clubs to Interest Them In Work a Re-
cent Development.
Within recent years n new method
of agricultural education has been de-
vised in the form of boys and girls'
clubs. Such clubs have various ob-
jects, but usually they provide for
prize contests among the Members.
Corn growing contests are probably
the most common among the boys,
although many other crops have been
tried, while the girls compete in bread-
mokieg or sewing oreven test their
skill against that of the boys in gar -
cloning.
The United States department of
agriculture has information of 395
counties in twenty-eight states in
which such clubs are organized, with
a total tnembership of about 144,000.
New York has about 75,000 members,
Nebraska 25,000 and other states
smaller numbers. One county in
Pennsylvania has 2,000 members. In
most cases these clubs are organized
under the auspices of some state au-
thority, but iu' many cases the county
superintendent takes the Initiative,
while in many other cases the rural.
teachers arrange contests among their
own pupils.
The United States department of
agriculture also gives assistance
through the office of experiment sta-
tions by furnishing advice and sug-
gestions. A new farmers' bulletin on
boys `and girls' agricultural clubs
tells how to organize the clubs, how
to conduct the contests and what pub-
lications will be useful to the boys
and girls.
How to Spray Trees.
Assuming that the fruit grower is
properly equipped with apparatus and
material and ready to apply the spray
to the trees, the next question is how
to do it. If the day is calm spraying
can be done in any direction most con-
venient. If the wind is light spray
so that the wind blows nearly as pos.
SPRAYING TREES,
sibie across or at right nngles to the
rows to be treated. 13y so doing and
working from windward the trees are
easily and wholly covered when spray-
ed on opposite sides.
It should be noted that It is impos-
sible to spray a tree of any size effec-
tivoly and completely from one side
only. In a brisk wind the samo rule
applies except that only one side of
the trees is sprayed, and then watch
opportupity and with a changed wind
spray the opposite side. fay this meth-
od the spray will not fall on men or
animals, but will be blown through the
trees. By tate exercise of a little
thought and foresight the wind can be
made a serviceable ally 1n spraying.
IIt is quite esseptial that every part of
the tree, trunk, branches, twigs and
leaves (if tree is in felinge), should be
coyered with the solution or i

THE WINGITAN ADVANCE
YOUNG•
GIRL RUNS A FARIL
Unique Experience of a Sixteen.year.e
old Lass. of New ,f ereey.
Sixteen -year-old Edna L. Bitting is
the youngest farmer in the United
States and is considered cue of the
most expert students of agriculture
in New Jersey. She has takeu;t com-
plete charge of Hillside farnm, at liar,
bourtou, N. J., a property owned by;
her uncle, The farmers of the state
1 h
cal her the girt wonder and admit
that Hillside Is one of the most pros-
perous farms in New Jersey.
Although miss Bitting has only re-
cently taken complete control, she has
assisted her uncle for several year),
Her father offered to pay the expenses
of a college course, but the girl pre-
ferred farming to college life and In-
sisted on helping her uncle.
While at school she passed her va-
cations with her uncle and soon was
able to do the work of a man, She
was not satisfied with the knowledge
of the laborious part of the work, but
took a deeper interest in agriculture
and, is now considered such an expert
that farmers in the vicinity seek her
advice.
It Is an interesting sight to watch a
pretty girl, neatly 'dressed, giving
orders to and overseeing the work of
a corps of farm hands, some of whom.
have been engaged on farms for more
than a quarter of a century.
"I wouldn't live lu a city if I were
given a fortune," declared the girl
after she assumed control. "If city
girls only knew how sweet country
life is they would yearn for it. 1 in-
tend to make farthing my life work, as
I think it is as important as some of
the professions girls now engage in
Agriculture is dry to rend about, but
when you have theory and practice
combined there is nothing more inter-
esting, My parents do not wish we
to become a farmer, but 1 prefer it to
anything else and will visit a city only
when absolutely necessary."
Bliss. Bitting has always been con-
sidered an unusually bright girl, .and
she maintained a high standard while
attending school. When she declined
to enter an agricultural college she
said .she could master farming from
books without further instruction
That she has succeeded even beyond
her own expectations she admits and
is delighted over the fact.
HEADING AN APPLE TREE.
Advice on Best Way to Get High
Heads Reduced to Low Down Tops.
How to got the old, high headed ap-
ple trees reduced to low down tops is
a matter of considerable interest. In
case of a severe infestation of San
Jose scale practically the whole top
of the tree down to stubs, six or seven
feet from the main trunk, has been cut
off, although it is preferable to leave
some branches if possible. Many
small water sprouts will start, and
A LOW HEADED APPLE TREE.
these should be thinned out Judiciously
the follocriug summer. Those left will
ultimately forth the uew head.
It is practically impossible to destroy
a severe infestation of the scale where
the branches of the tree are left high
up. In ordinary cases, however, where
there is little scale, such severe treat-
ment is not advisable, but two or three
years sboulit be taken to accomplish
this. heading in. The first year only,
one-third to one-half of the main
branches should be cut severely—that
is, from six to twelve feet from mere
they fork. The rest of the top should
be cut back to a limited extent, Wa-
ter sprouts will grow on the large
branches near where they fork from
the trunk, and the best of these should
be allowed to grow, the balance being
thinned out the following summer.
The next year this same process
should be repeated, and so on,until an
entirely new top can be constructed.
ready for business. This will be iu
from two to five years, according to
the condition of the tree. Where such
severe cutting back is practiced great
care must be exercised hi the treat-
ment of the wounds by painting or tar-
ring for the first few years; otherwise
canker may set in and the branches
decny. The above directions are for
constructing a new top .without any at-
tempt to change the variety. Should
one wish to graft the top to a new va-
riety conditions would have to be
somewhat modified.
Root Celery.
Not every one knows there Is a va-
riety of celery which makes a large
root like a turnip and is an exceeding-
ly fine salad vegetable.
The seed is sown and the plants are
planted exactly the same
as s the better
known varieties, but when the roots
have grew') large enough, which is
by the middle of nutunm, they are
dug up as wanted, the tops are trim-
med oti' and the bulbs are then dean -
ed end scraped and boiled tender.
They are then sliced end laid In weak
vinegar, to be served like pickles, or

The Furniture Trade.
The furniture Co. of Durham, Ont.,
is again considering the advisability
of extending their plant by the erec
tion of a new factory. They aro very
busy at present and have quite enough
to do to keep up with the orders that
are rapidly
crowding in. They
intend
to employ one hundred bands. At
Listowel, the contract has finally been
let for an &Millet to the Ribber Chair
Factory and work is to be commenced

BARN VENTILATION.
Effective System. Necessary to Keep
Stook in Healthy Condition.
It is quite generally admitted today
that SOME effective system .ot barn
ventilation is necessary if cattle and
other stabled live stock are to be kept
in healthy condition. The germs of
tuberculosis and other diseases thrive
best In barns which are not well ven-
tilated and lighted. Fresh air and
sunlight areas
g easily
known to man, Both may be
obtained at a nominal cost and with
but very little difficulty.
There are of course several systems
of ventilation, but none is meeting
with more gexeral acceptance than the
ono planned by Professor 1'', Ii, King
of Madison, Wis, 'i'hls plan follows
the theory that foul alr containing
gases and other impurities Is heavier
titan pure air and consequently will
collect at or near the floor. The King
system admits the fresh air at the
ceiling and expels the foul air through
a flue which extends from a point sev-
eral feet above the highest part of the
barn roof down through the barn to
within a foot or so of the floor. This
flue acts just as does a chimney., and
through It the heavy air is removed
from the barn.
A great many men have supposed
eny system of ventilation would be
expensive and difficult to install. This,
however, is a serious mistake. Some
of the very best ventilation schemes
in existence have cost comparatively
little either in expense of materials or
in labor to construct them. In fact,
the more simple and the plainer the
ventilating fines are made the better:
CHOKING IN COWS.
Method of Treating Animals Afflicted
With This Trouble.
Choking in cows means the lodg-
ment of a foreign obstacle in the
esophagus, or gullet. It is known by
slabbering, distressed breathing and
accumulation of gas, which ay be
noticed on the Left side or paunch.m
The proper method of handling an
animal thus afflicted is to stand the
cow with her head down hill, pressing

the head downward ns much as possi-
ble while the attendant squeezes as
much saliva out of the gullet as pos-
sible, then allow her to raise her head
and give her one half pint of raw lin-
seed oil, giving but one swallow at a
time.
If she is not relieved within ten to
thirty minutes n half inch rubber hose
six feet long may be passed. gently
clown the gullet. This will force the
obstacle into the stomach, at the same
time alowing the gas to escape.
If the animal has been greatly dis-
tended by gas before relieved it may
be necessary to give her a laxative
and tonic to overcome partial paraly-
sis of the bowels, which sometimes
fol lows.
Annual Cost of Tuberculosis.
The annual loss of dairy cattle in the
United States on account of tuberculo-
sis has been estimated at $23,000,000.
THE HORSEMAN
Way to Fix Heavy Mane.
If the horse's mane is heavy and in-
clined to work under the collar, thin
it out, because it will almost certainly
cause a sore spot.
Don't Yell at Young Horse.
Yelling at a young horse that is
learning only confuses him and gets
him excited, and if the load is too
heavy you make a balker and a spoiled
horse right there.
To Cure Lice on Horses.
For lice on horses take half a pint of
kerosene in two gallons of water and
wash the horse with this twice, with
an interval of two or three days be-
tween the applications.
Feeding the Horse.
If a system of feeding can be adopt-
ed that is more economical and will
better maintain the good health of
horses it Is important that it should be
given careful consideration.
Use Clippers For Dandruff.
Tho quickest way to get rid of the
dandruff on horses is by clipping the
hair off the horse's body. You may
leave it on legs, then supply one part
kerosene and thirty parts soapsuds

Investigate Sore Shoulder Cause.
If the horse's shoulders begin to get
sore see if sweat and dirt have not
been allowed to collect on the collar or
sweat pad. Ascertain if the hames pull
evenly on the point of each shoulder.
One tug may be shorter than the
other, or the point of attachment to
the hame may need to be ralaed or
lowered by regulating the ham* 'trap,'

HAVE YOU REMEMBERED 1T?
When packing for the country cot-
tage, don't forget your box of Zam-
Buk ! Blisters, sunburn, scratches,
insect stings, etc., if not immediately
attended to, are likely to spoil your
pleasure. Zam-Buk ensures you
against trouble from these. Take
Zam-Buk, instead of "taking chances"!
Zam-Buk is antiseptic ; kills all poison
in wounds, whether from barbed wire
fence, or insect sting. Soothes aching
feet and blistered hands ; heals baby's
chafed places ; cools those sunburn
patches, and prevents freckles. No
mother should be without it. Purely
herbal in its composition, Zam-Buk is
always superior to the ordinary oint-
ments containing animal oils and fats,
and mineral coloring matter. All
druggists and stores sell Zam-Buk, but
avoid harmful substitutes.
No Operation For Her.
Mrs. Bartlett, a colored woman of
London, Ont., had been ill with stom-
ach trouble for a long time. A short
while ago she was taken to Victoria
Hospital. While waiting on the op-
erating table to undergo the operation
after the chloroform had been admin-
istered, she heard the physicians say
that they didn't think it wise to
operate. Leaping from the table the
half -dazed woman rushed from the
hospital without waiting to dress,
Reaching home she locked the doors
and nailed clown the windows. She
held the fort for two days when she
weakened on account of lack of food.
Neighbors then gained access to the
place and persuaded her to go to a
doctor at St. Joseph's Hospital, where
she died after •A short time.
The Western Fair.
The Western Fair of London, Ont.,
Sept. 9 to 17, is becoming more popu-,
lar each year as a Live Stock Exhibi-
tion. The management is putting
forth every effort to meet the wishes
of the Exhibitors, and when the prize
List was under consideration this year
$1,000 in cash was added to the Live
Stock Department. Every accommo-
dation possible for the comfort of
Exhibitors will be made and every
Exhibitor will be given a fair oppor-
tunity to complete their respective
classes. This Exhibition is acknow-
ledged by all Live Stock Breeders to
be one of the best in the Dominion,
and they are always able to report
large sales as a result of exhibiting in
London. In the Agricultural and
Horticultural Departments thin year
will be many new and special features,
The British Columbia Government
have made arrangements to bring a
large exhibit of fruit. This will add
very much to the Horticultural dis-
play, but will not be in competition
for prizes. All the other depart-
ments of the Exhibition will be looked
after well. All information may be

smaller numbers. One county in
Pennsylvania has 2,000 members. In
most cases these clubs are organized
under the auspices of some state au-
thority, but iu' many cases the county
superintendent takes the Initiative,
while in many other cases the rural.
teachers arrange contests among their
own pupils.
The United States department of
agriculture also gives assistance
through the office of experiment sta-
tions by furnishing advice and sug-
gestions. A new farmers' bulletin on
boys `and girls' agricultural clubs
tells how to organize the clubs, how
to conduct the contests and what pub-
lications will be useful to the boys
and girls.
How to Spray Trees.
Assuming that the fruit grower is
properly equipped with apparatus and
material and ready to apply the spray
to the trees, the next question is how
to do it. If the day is calm spraying
can be done in any direction most con-
venient. If the wind is light spray
so that the wind blows nearly as pos.
SPRAYING TREES,
sibie across or at right nngles to the
rows to be treated. 13y so doing and
working from windward the trees are
easily and wholly covered when spray-
ed on opposite sides.
It should be noted that It is impos-
sible to spray a tree of any size effec-
tivoly and completely from one side
only. In a brisk wind the samo rule
applies except that only one side of
the trees is sprayed, and then watch
opportupity and with a changed wind
spray the opposite side. fay this meth-
od the spray will not fall on men or
animals, but will be blown through the
trees. By tate exercise of a little
thought and foresight the wind can be
made a serviceable ally 1n spraying.
IIt is quite esseptial that every part of
the tree, trunk, branches, twigs and
leaves (if tree is in felinge), should be
coyered with the solution or i

THE WINGITAN ADVANCE
YOUNG•
GIRL RUNS A FARIL
Unique Experience of a Sixteen.year.e
old Lass. of New ,f ereey.
Sixteen -year-old Edna L. Bitting is
the youngest farmer in the United
States and is considered cue of the
most expert students of agriculture
in New Jersey. She has takeu;t com-
plete charge of Hillside farnm, at liar,
bourtou, N. J., a property owned by;
her uncle, The farmers of the state
1 h
cal her the girt wonder and admit
that Hillside Is one of the most pros-
perous farms in New Jersey.
Although miss Bitting has only re-
cently taken complete control, she has
assisted her uncle for several year),
Her father offered to pay the expenses
of a college course, but the girl pre-
ferred farming to college life and In-
sisted on helping her uncle.
While at school she passed her va-
cations with her uncle and soon was
able to do the work of a man, She
was not satisfied with the knowledge
of the laborious part of the work, but
took a deeper interest in agriculture
and, is now considered such an expert
that farmers in the vicinity seek her
advice.
It Is an interesting sight to watch a
pretty girl, neatly 'dressed, giving
orders to and overseeing the work of
a corps of farm hands, some of whom.
have been engaged on farms for more
than a quarter of a century.
"I wouldn't live lu a city if I were
given a fortune," declared the girl
after she assumed control. "If city
girls only knew how sweet country
life is they would yearn for it. 1 in-
tend to make farthing my life work, as
I think it is as important as some of
the professions girls now engage in
Agriculture is dry to rend about, but
when you have theory and practice
combined there is nothing more inter-
esting, My parents do not wish we
to become a farmer, but 1 prefer it to
anything else and will visit a city only
when absolutely necessary."
Bliss. Bitting has always been con-
sidered an unusually bright girl, .and
she maintained a high standard while
attending school. When she declined
to enter an agricultural college she
said .she could master farming from
books without further instruction
That she has succeeded even beyond
her own expectations she admits and
is delighted over the fact.
HEADING AN APPLE TREE.
Advice on Best Way to Get High
Heads Reduced to Low Down Tops.
How to got the old, high headed ap-
ple trees reduced to low down tops is
a matter of considerable interest. In
case of a severe infestation of San
Jose scale practically the whole top
of the tree down to stubs, six or seven
feet from the main trunk, has been cut
off, although it is preferable to leave
some branches if possible. Many
small water sprouts will start, and

these should be thinned out Judiciously
the follocriug summer. Those left will
ultimately forth the uew head.
It is practically impossible to destroy
a severe infestation of the scale where
the branches of the tree are left high
up. In ordinary cases, however, where
there is little scale, such severe treat-
ment is not advisable, but two or three
years sboulit be taken to accomplish
this. heading in. The first year only,
one-third to one-half of the main
branches should be cut severely—that
is, from six to twelve feet from mere
they fork. The rest of the top should
be cut back to a limited extent, Wa-
ter sprouts will grow on the large
branches near where they fork from
the trunk, and the best of these should
be allowed to grow, the balance being
thinned out the following summer.
The next year this same process
should be repeated, and so on,until an
entirely new top can be constructed.
ready for business. This will be iu
from two to five years, according to
the condition of the tree. Where such
severe cutting back is practiced great
care must be exercised hi the treat-
ment of the wounds by painting or tar-
ring for the first few years; otherwise
canker may set in and the branches
decny. The above directions are for
constructing a new top .without any at-
tempt to change the variety. Should
one wish to graft the top to a new va-
riety conditions would have to be
somewhat modified.
Root Celery.
Not every one knows there Is a va-
riety of celery which makes a large
root like a turnip and is an exceeding-
ly fine salad vegetable.
The seed is sown and the plants are
planted exactly the same
as s the better
known varieties, but when the roots
have grew') large enough, which is
by the middle of nutunm, they are
dug up as wanted, the tops are trim-
med oti' and the bulbs are then dean -
ed end scraped and boiled tender.
They are then sliced end laid In weak

are rapidly
crowding in. They

BARN VENTILATION.
Effective System. Necessary to Keep
Stook in Healthy Condition.
It is quite generally admitted today
that SOME effective system .ot barn
ventilation is necessary if cattle and
other stabled live stock are to be kept
in healthy condition. The germs of
tuberculosis and other diseases thrive
best In barns which are not well ven-
tilated and lighted. Fresh air and
sunlight areas
g easily
known to man, Both may be
obtained at a nominal cost and with
but very little difficulty.
There are of course several systems
of ventilation, but none is meeting
with more gexeral acceptance than the
ono planned by Professor 1'', Ii, King
of Madison, Wis, 'i'hls plan follows
the theory that foul alr containing
gases and other impurities Is heavier
titan pure air and consequently will
collect at or near the floor. The King
system admits the fresh air at the
ceiling and expels the foul air through
a flue which extends from a point sev-
eral feet above the highest part of the
barn roof down through the barn to
within a foot or so of the floor. This
flue acts just as does a chimney., and
through It the heavy air is removed
from the barn.
A great many men have supposed
eny system of ventilation would be
expensive and difficult to install. This,
however, is a serious mistake. Some
of the very best ventilation schemes
in existence have cost comparatively
little either in expense of materials or
in labor to construct them. In fact,
the more simple and the plainer the
ventilating fines are made the better:
CHOKING IN COWS.
Method of Treating Animals Afflicted
With This Trouble.
Choking in cows means the lodg-
ment of a foreign obstacle in the
esophagus, or gullet. It is known by
slabbering, distressed breathing and
accumulation of gas, which ay be
noticed on the Left side or paunch.m
The proper method of handling an
animal thus afflicted is to stand the
cow with her head down hill, pressing

the head downward ns much as possi-
ble while the attendant squeezes as
much saliva out of the gullet as pos-
sible, then allow her to raise her head
and give her one half pint of raw lin-
seed oil, giving but one swallow at a
time.
If she is not relieved within ten to
thirty minutes n half inch rubber hose
six feet long may be passed. gently
clown the gullet. This will force the
obstacle into the stomach, at the same
time alowing the gas to escape.
If the animal has been greatly dis-
tended by gas before relieved it may
be necessary to give her a laxative
and tonic to overcome partial paraly-
sis of the bowels, which sometimes
fol lows.
Annual Cost of Tuberculosis.
The annual loss of dairy cattle in the
United States on account of tuberculo-
sis has been estimated at $23,000,000.
THE HORSEMAN
Way to Fix Heavy Mane.
If the horse's mane is heavy and in-
clined to work under the collar, thin
it out, because it will almost certainly
cause a sore spot.
Don't Yell at Young Horse.
Yelling at a young horse that is
learning only confuses him and gets
him excited, and if the load is too
heavy you make a balker and a spoiled
horse right there.
To Cure Lice on Horses.
For lice on horses take half a pint of
kerosene in two gallons of water and
wash the horse with this twice, with
an interval of two or three days be-
tween the applications.
Feeding the Horse.
If a system of feeding can be adopt-
ed that is more economical and will
better maintain the good health of
horses it Is important that it should be
given careful consideration.
Use Clippers For Dandruff.
Tho quickest way to get rid of the
dandruff on horses is by clipping the
hair off the horse's body. You may
leave it on legs, then supply one part
kerosene and thirty parts soapsuds

Investigate Sore Shoulder Cause.
If the horse's shoulders begin to get
sore see if sweat and dirt have not
been allowed to collect on the collar or
sweat pad. Ascertain if the hames pull
evenly on the point of each shoulder.
One tug may be shorter than the
other, or the point of attachment to
the hame may need to be ralaed or
lowered by regulating the ham* 'trap,'

HAVE YOU REMEMBERED 1T?
When packing for the country cot-
tage, don't forget your box of Zam-
Buk ! Blisters, sunburn, scratches,
insect stings, etc., if not immediately
attended to, are likely to spoil your
pleasure. Zam-Buk ensures you
against trouble from these. Take
Zam-Buk, instead of "taking chances"!
Zam-Buk is antiseptic ; kills all poison
in wounds, whether from barbed wire
fence, or insect sting. Soothes aching
feet and blistered hands ; heals baby's
chafed places ; cools those sunburn
patches, and prevents freckles. No
mother should be without it. Purely
herbal in its composition, Zam-Buk is
always superior to the ordinary oint-
ments containing animal oils and fats,
and mineral coloring matter. All
druggists and stores sell Zam-Buk, but
avoid harmful substitutes.
No Operation For Her.
Mrs. Bartlett, a colored woman of
London, Ont., had been ill with stom-
ach trouble for a long time. A short
while ago she was taken to Victoria
Hospital. While waiting on the op-
erating table to undergo the operation
after the chloroform had been admin-
istered, she heard the physicians say
that they didn't think it wise to
operate. Leaping from the table the
half -dazed woman rushed from the
hospital without waiting to dress,
Reaching home she locked the doors
and nailed clown the windows. She
held the fort for two days when she
weakened on account of lack of food.
Neighbors then gained access to the
place and persuaded her to go to a
doctor at St. Joseph's Hospital, where
she died after •A short time.
The Western Fair.
The Western Fair of London, Ont.,
Sept. 9 to 17, is becoming more popu-,
lar each year as a Live Stock Exhibi-
tion. The management is putting
forth every effort to meet the wishes
of the Exhibitors, and when the prize
List was under consideration this year
$1,000 in cash was added to the Live
Stock Department. Every accommo-
dation possible for the comfort of
Exhibitors will be made and every
Exhibitor will be given a fair oppor-
tunity to complete their respective
classes. This Exhibition is acknow-
ledged by all Live Stock Breeders to
be one of the best in the Dominion,
and they are always able to report
large sales as a result of exhibiting in
London. In the Agricultural and
Horticultural Departments thin year
will be many new and special features,
The British Columbia Government
have made arrangements to bring a
large exhibit of fruit. This will add
very much to the Horticultural dis-
play, but will not be in competition
for prizes. All the other depart-
ments of the Exhibition will be looked
after well. All information may be
