Capital and' immigration.
That $609,000,009 of new capital has
come to Canada in the past eleven
years, as the result of immigration, is
a fact revealed in a story in the annual
number of the Monetary Times, to
which the leading citizens of the land
are contributors Another article of
particular interest at this time appears
from the pen of Mr, Chauncey- Depew
Snow, tarrifl; assistant at Washington,
who tells: of the history organization,
status and work of the 'United States
tariff board. The proposal of a tariff
board. The proposal of a tariff com-
mission for Canada lends additional
value to the story. Hon, Clifford Bit-
ten, chairman of the commission of
conservation, gives some interesting
information as to the labors, result and
future of this important organization.
A valuable article, appears respecting
the undeveloped market in Northern
Ontario, a regionwhich will attract
considerable immigration, capital and
enterprise in the near future. The
provincial premiers contribute signed
articles regarding the progress of their
respective provinces during 1911 and
the outlook for the coming year. They
are unanimous in their optimistic views
of the situation.

PERSONALS.
The Contented Life.
All day in peace I herd my geese, I
do not sigh for higher station; I do not
yearn renown to earn, to hear the
plaudits of the nation. I watch the
throng that moves along, and see the
fruits of fierce endeavor - the faces
lined by beastly grind that comes to a
conclusion never. On jaded feet men
pace the street, the victims of the
Grind's abuses; sad eyes are their's
and many cares - and I'm pontent to
herd my gooses. This modern life of
stress and strife, this daily round of
eager questing, the chase for chink
makes mortals think the minute's lost
that's spent in resting. All want to
shine in some fierce line, to Caesars be,
or Alexanders; and so they strain both
soul and brain while I serenely herd my
ganders. Their nerves unstrung, they
all die young, exhausted by their fret-
ful journeys, and 'ere the bell has toll-
ed their knell their wads are swiped
by the attorneys. Beneath the heath
they sleep and Death was first to teach
thein what true peace is. Those left
alive toil on and strive, while I continue
herding geeses.—Walt Mason. •

THE OPTIMISM OF THE
CONSUMPTIVE
Perhaps there ig no disease, whilst
often fatal in its outcome, is yet viewed
with so much optimism by the patients
themselves. It is .well that it is so, for all
know to what extent one's own feelings,
whether cheery or the opposite, influence
both cliental and physical conditions. "I
was certainly impressed with this thought,"
remarked a newspaper reporter, "lit inter-
viewing a. patient of the Muskoka Free
ftospital for Consumptives. She was a
pretty girl of 24, brown hair and dark
gray eyes, who had come all the way from
Saskatchewan. She said she felt pretty
sick when she first arrived at the hospital,
and for two days the nurses had to person.
ally feed her. ' I have been in bed all the
time,' she said. ' 1 have been well cared for
while I have been here. I am sure I am
going to geb well, and feel better now than
before X took sick. Everybody seems so
happy and bright, and tolls ire wken X gob
up Istn sur* to like it. Everything is done
to please me and ,Hake ire happy.'" One
may well wish that so bright a patient
should soon he restored to health.

WEEDS ARE INCREASING.
"There is no denying the fact that
weeds are increasing all over Ontario.
The causes are found in lack of labor,
lack of knowledge, failure to follow
a proper crop rotation, and in the re-
duction in the number of sheep in the
Province. Nothing is to be more de-
plored than the depletion in the sheep
holdings in Ontario as close pasturing
by these animals is, one of the means
by which the weed evil can be most
effectively combatted."
So said Prof. 3. E, Howitt, in intro -
clueing a talk on weeds and their iden-
tification. In fighting weeds by other
means frequent "hoe and smother"
crops were recommended; hoe crops to
ensure summer cultivation and smoth-
er crops in the form of rape or buck-
wheat after clean cultivation up to mid-
summer. After harvest cultivation
was also commended --shallow plowing
directly after the germination of the
weeds.
For wild oats two hoe crops in suc-
cession were recommended; for Russian
thistle, a bad weed in the. West and
just appearing in Ontario, pulling on
first appearance; bladder caanpion, a
great nuisance in red clover seed, dig-
ging up, as the root will go over a
yard in the soil, and if therbbt is mere-
ly broken the plant will grow again.
