Tourist Hosourcis I through southern Ontaalo. Twenty-
! to New York and New England is
live million people who travel hi
automobiles live within a twenty-
four hour ride of the boundary of
. the province—and from the returns
! of ears (intering Ontario in the last
I „
tamer, years it is evident that some
' hundrede of thousands already know
the way. The Government of On-
tario is pursuing a vigorous pokey
of road building, with the result that
! provincial highways and municipal
motor roads extend all over the old-
' or part of the province from the
Quebec boundary to the Detroit. riv-
er In addition trunk highways
stretch out northward to. the Upper
Ottawa, to lake Nipissing, to Geor-
gian bay, and along the north shore
of lake Huron to Sault Ste. Marie.
West and north of that point the
! improved sections are not yet linked
up but the work IS proeeedmg. The
palatial steamers ox the Great Lakes
are too well known to need mention,
• tourists travel to and fro through
Ontario by yacht and motor boat
and canoe. Owing to the innumer-
able lakes and rivers canoeing as-
pecially, has an immense vogue and
is steadily gaining hi favor. The
' older parts of the province are cov-
ered with a railway network ehiefly
' of the limes of the Canadian Nation-
al and Canadian Pacific, while their
transcontinental lines pass through
the mineral and timber belts of New
Ontario.
' Ontario shares with Quebec the
same historic background and has in
the remains of Fort Frontenac
(Kingston), Fort Rouille (Toronto),
Lake Erie Cross (Port Dover), and
many others, monuments which re-
call the lordly governors and intrep-
id explorers of the old regime, like
Frontenac and Dallier and Galinee;
and, in the ruins of the two Chris-
tian missions on Lake Huron and in
the fine monument at Calla posses-
ses memorials of the Jesuit martyrs
and of the great Champlain himself.
Of later date are Fort Henry at
Kingston, Fort George at Niagara,
and Brock's noble momument, mag-
nificiently placed on Queenston
Heights. Many scarcely less famous
buildings and monuments are seat-
tered throughout the older parts of
the province and these are being pre-
servd and rnade acceseible by the
work of the Department of the In-
terior.
Ontario has the unique distinction
of having within her borders two
seats of government, Toronto, the
capital of the Province, and Ottawa,
the capital of the Dominion, the lat-
ter city being the place of residence
of the Governor-General, th official
representailve of the British Crown.
The student and the sig,ht-seer have
thus an opportunity oa studying the
federal and provincial forms of par-
liamentary government, and of view-
ing the stately architecture of the
public buildings.
The province is famous for its
hunting and fishing, not only on
account of the immense extent of
virgin territory but also because of
the great supply of game, due 1,o
woll enforced. game laws, The pi's-
vincial and national parks, like AI-
gongein park in the emia, Quetieo
park in the west, and Point Pelee
park in the extreme south, are game
sanctuaries, which not only give the
tourist an opportunity of studyisg
wild life at close hand but have also
proved to ha reservoirs, from which
the surrounding areas are replenish-
ed with game. In the north womb,:
moose and deer are plentiful and
bear are common; duck and part-
ridge are found all over the province
end snipe and woodcock in some
pads; while in the streams and lakes
the finny beauties mostprized are
black bass, trout and muskallonge.
Hunting is permitted during open
seasons on the payment •of a license

Highly Developed Arens and Great
Untamed Hunterhand Make Can-
ada's Central Province Mecca of
Visitors
With a domain extending a thous-
and miles from south to north and
twelve hundred from east to wet,
Ontario, Canada's most populous
province, presents unrivalled attrac-
tions to all tourists, and especially to
thosd who in any line—hunting, fish -
in canoeing, or motoring, or in quest
of health, recreation and adventure
in aa inspiring environment—seek
for new and virgin fields to conquer.
. Of Canada's nine provinces extend
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
Ontario is the central one, with four
sisters on each side. She stretches
out one hand to Quebec on th east
and the other to prairie Manitoba on
the west; her south door is on that
mighty inland waterway, the Great
Lakes, and her north threshold is
the shore of Hudson Bay. Between
these boundaries what a wealth of
resource, industry, art, history,
sport, and arpenture! Southern On-
tario is the most thickly populated
and highly developed section of the
Dominion. The Niagara district is
noted for its peach orchards and
vineyards, the western peninsula and
the counties along lake Ontario, the
St. Lawrence, and the lower Ottawa,
are fertile mixed farming and fruit
growing areas, traversed by good
roads and lotted with comfortable!
and artistic homes. In this belt are '
located most of the chief cities and
towns with Ufa.' industries, seats of
learning, are galleries, and other in-
stitutions of modern life. This farm-
ing area extends northwards to the
"highlands," one of nature's play-
grounds, which contain such far- ;
famed dietricts as Kawartha Lakes, !
Georgian Bay, Muskoka, Algonquin
park and Nippissing. North and
west of Lake Nippissing lies the
greet hinterland of New Ontario, so-
called to distinguish it from the old-
er portion to the southeast. In the
Laurentian ridge which runs along
the whole southern edge of this reg-
ion from east to west occur the :rich
deposits of gold, silver, nickel, cob-
alt, copaer and other minerals now
in process of rapid development.
North of this again is the famous
Clay Belt, which pioneers are turn-
ing into an agricultural region, • and
beyond this are the largely unexplor-
ed lands reaching to Hudson Bay
and to the western boundaries of
the province—the home of the In-
dian trapper and the fur trader.
Forests of pine, spruce and other
trees extend from the southern bor-
der of the highlands to the extreme
north and west, the whole country
is dotted and intersected with in-
numerable lakes and rivers.
Why Ontario is the Mecca of an
annually increasing, throng of tour-
iets is explained by a glance at the
map. The Great Lakes bend down
into the United States in the form
of a broad triangle, the south apex
of which is. in the sante latitude as
southern New York and Connecti-
cut. The territory within the trie
angle is southern Ontario. Of the
3,980 miles of International Boun-
dary, from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic, Ontario faces the United States
along 1,714 miles, and is an acroze-
the-street neighbor to Six great !
states; New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
alinnesota—states which contain
more than one-third the total popu-
lation of the republic.

Here and There
The total coal production of Al-
berta mines during 1925 amounted
to 5,883,394 tons, an increase of
679,681 tons over the preceding
year. The figures were as follows:
Domestic coal, 3,156,359 tons; sub -
bituminous, 581,835; bituminous, 2,-
145,200.
A corps of young guides who will
show visiting skiers the best loca-
tions, hills and runs for the sport
was formed at Mont Rolland, Que.,
in the Laurentian Mountains re-
cently. About twenty young fellows
were enrolled. For the summer a
corps of guides will probably be
formed to show visitors the best
fishing, bathing and boating loca-
tions.
Twenty-three seconds was clipped
off the Canadian record for wo-
men's indoor 220 yards swim at the
Crystal Gardens, Victoria, B.C.,
when Marie -Chen Wenslaus, fa-
mous Hawaiian mermaid, Olympic
champion and holder of 100 yard
and 100 meter world records, met
Audrey Griffin, well known Cana-
dian girl swimmer of Vancouver.
The time was 2.52 5-5.
The Chateau Frontenac at Que-
bec will have been reconstructed and
the entire building of 190 roe= will
have been rendered fire -proof by
June 1st, according to information
from head offices of the Canadian
Pacific Railway in Montreal. The
burnt part of the Chateau has been
rebuilt up to the fourth floor while
the steel for the roof is in process
of erection.
Major F. J. Ney, executive secre-
tary of the Canadian Council of
Education, returned to Canada on
board the Canadian Pacific liner
Montcalm after a tour of Pales-
tine, Cyprus and Egypt where he
laid foundations' for the organiza-
tion of the Mediterranean branch
of the Overseas Education League.
Lord Lloyd, High Commissioner for
Egypt and Field Marshall Lord
Plainer, Commissioner in Palestine,
have both conented to become hon-
orary vice-presidents of the League.
When Lord and Lady Allenby
were in Vancouver recently, a group
of women whose husbands and
sweethearts had been cared for by )
Lady Allenby during the war daye
in Cairo, thanked the "Lady of
Mercy" for her care and attention.
These husbands and sweethearts' are
now happily settled in the sunny
Okanagan Valley of British Colum-
bia and have banded in a unique or-
ganieation known as the Jaffa Gate,
every member having passed
through the Jaffa Gate into Jeru-
salem.
According tu figures for 1925 the
growth of interest in First Aid effi-
ciency is attested by the fact that
1,698 men and women were suocees-
f ully examined on the whole Cana-
dian Pacific system during the
year. In all, approximately 25,000
Canadian Pacific Railway employ-
ees are now holders of First Aid
certificates, while a large propor-
tion have vouchers, Medallions and
labels indicating that they are far
above the eertificate standard, 56 -

Ono of the valuable features of
alfalfa Is Its riche:a:mein the expensive
proteins. Wiles, cut at six or eight
inches in height, we have feline it to
contain 25 per cent. of nitregenous
matter, that is, on -quarter of the
dry matter of the crop was crude Pro
tein. The amount naturally decreas-
ed as the plants matured, due to the
development of the fibre, bast in tne
early blossoming gauge we found al -
fates contained on the average 16.6
Per cent, of crude protein, or 11.3 per
cent, of digestible crude protein, cal-
culated to water free basis. In the
hay condition of dryness, Henry and
Morrison in "Feeds and Feeding"
give the per cent. of digestible pro-
tein in some of the common folders
as follows; Alfalfa, 10.6; red clover
hay, 7.6; timothy hay, 3.0; corn sil-
age, 1,1; and among the grains, oats,
9.7; corn, 7.6; barley, 9.0; and wheat
bran, 12.6. It will thus be seen why
it is not necessary to feed so much
grain or concentratee when alfalfa is
used as the fodder,
Furthermore, the alfalfa is valu-
able for its A and B vitamlnes and
its ash content. It may not be better
in these respects than the clovers,
but it has a recognized value when
fed with concentrates.
The Ontario farmer's feed problem
Is best solved through the production
and use of the greatest possible quan-
tities of high-class home-grown
roughage, which obviatea the neces-
sity of using a. large proportion of
expensive concentrates in his rations.
Most home-grown concentrates, and
many of the roughages, are carbona-
ceous feeds which,la themselves, even
in mixtures, do not make for properly
balanced rations and, consequently
there is always a big demand for pro-
tein -rich feeds such as bran, shorts,
middlings, ollcake meal, cottonseed
meal, gluten meal and other similar
feeds. These feeds are always more
or less expensive and it is sound farm
economics to attempt to produce sub-
stitutes for them in so far as possible.
The farmer uuderstaads the situation
and naturally turns to leguminous
crops, particularly the clovers, to cut
down his feed bills and, at the same
time, enrich his eoil. He realises that
his home-grown grains and his corn
and roots are low in protein. Ile
knows that protein -rich concentrates
are high in price. Therefore, he is
interested more and more in an in-
creased supply of home -produced
feed high in protein. It is also a fact
that these leguminous feeds are high
in mineral matter so necessary to
production, reproduction and general
health in herds and flocks, and the
best of them is alfalfa. It is the
most palatable of all.
Alfalfa Hay.
Alfalfa hay stands at the head of
the hay list in value for dairy cows.
sheep and lambs, beef COWS, growing
young cattle, breeding bulls, and may
be used with care for horses, espe-
cially when they are idle or compara-
tively so. Of course, the hay should
be well cured, preferably by the coil
method, and generally speaking the
second cutting is of liner quality than
the first, Good alfalfa hay is just un-
der wheat bran in digestible crude
protein, but shows about three times
as much fibre. It Is a roughage, but
some feeders forget that it is a rich
roughage and throw ton much of it
to their stock. A small forkful of
good alfalfa hay contains more real
feed value than a big bundle of the
average timothy or mixed nay and
so it should be fed with more care
to prevent waste or danger of over-
feeding. Alfalfa, hay, corn silage and
O few roota make an ideal roughage
ration for all classes of cattle and
sheep and many feeders have cut
down, or cut out, their corn acreage
where alfalfa does well. For dairy
and beef cattle, frOM one-half to one
pound per day poi' hundred pounds
of live weight, according to other
feeds fed, proves very valuable iu
mixed rations. For sheep, either fat-
tening Iambs or breeding °Wes, from
two to four pounds per day will be
relished. For horses, not over one-
half pound per hundred 'pounds live
-weight, preferably mixed with other
bay or etrava is safer than too much.
And for the old WWII, it may also he
used as part of the winter ration.

Sit round the peat fire of nights

It is because of the dark work done
