he wholly followed the Lord God of
Israel." Promises are Fulfilled when
by Faith we Follow.
One last remarkable touch hl this
wonderful lesson. The name of Heb-
ron had been Kirjath,arba, because
"Arba was a great man among the
Malthus," in other words, a giant
among giants: Arba was greaver than
they; but Caleb's God was greater
than Atha. Why not close our study
of this lesson by dropping to our
knees and telling our Lord what is
the giant among giants to us ---our
greatest weakness and sin? Christ
wants to give us .complete victory
„aee over that giant to -day. He is able.
Shall we trust Him?

FALL PASTURE OF NEW SEED.
INGS
•During the months of September
-and October a great many inquiries
rr are received by the Forage Crop Dive
when of the Dominion Experimental
Farm as to the advisability of pastur-
ing mw seedings of gratis and clover.
During a favorable growing season
such new seedings, pal'ticulaely red
clover and alfalfa, may attain. suf-
ficient growth to make excellent pas-
ture. When winter feed promiseeieto
be scarce the temptation ]a great to
take advantage of the new pastures
thus provided, by turning the cattle
on to it seer a few weeks. During
the early fall months such a practice
may not result in serious damage to
the resulting crop. Late fall pastur-
ing, however, is almost always follow-
ed by n partial or even total failure
of the suceeding year's crop. It is
much safer to clip new seedings•high
with a mower early in the fall, if
they promise to be too rank in growth
rather than to take the hazard of pas
t curing. At this season of )lib year
the safest policy is to leave new
seedings alone.

Not many are aware of the extent
of the industrial revolutioli under
progress in Canada at the present
moment.
In every province i:nmonse projects
are being carried out to help on the
manufacturing industry, and to nutlte
manufacturers more independent of
coal.
Without manufactures no country
can become great, and without cheap
power Canadian manufacturers
could not hopea to compete with
old-
er,
-
er, more populous countries.
That Canada is able to attract for-
eign capital in large amounts to pro-
mote power developments.is proof of
their value. Without this importer
money such development would be
impossible.
Ontario leads the way as being the
possessor of the most beautiful and
one of the most valuable water priv-
ileges in the world.
Its tremendous plant at Niagara
Falls, converting that cascade into
power for the benefit of a whole
province, is only one of the meats
taken to conserve internal resources
ofr tl a public, welfare.
The Niagara River famous for its
incomparable scenic beauty was evi-
dently meant to compens'tta our
wealthiest province for its lack of
steam -producing power. 'Its huge
canal at Chippewa is essen'.i'tlly a
power proposition, but is only one
factor in a river system at onee the
pride and glory of Ontarj1o, and the
enfy of more than one nation.
British Columbia is richer in nev-
er -failing water power than any of
the provinces excepting perhaps Que-
bec. The other natural resources of
the Pacific provinces have tended'to
obscure the value of its numberless
power -sites, although developments at
•
Aatyox, show what can be don', and
the Kootenay River development
of 80,000 h.p. at lower itonninnton
Falls, Stave River with 87,500 horse-
power units and other eu •.'eeofully
operated plants prove that the enter-
prise for development exists there ars
elsewhere,
On the other side of Canada, the
great International Paper Co. is at
work at Grand Falls at three units,
each to develop at first 20,000 burse
power units, or 60,000 units in all
:tt Musquash in the same province
Smith's Falls have already been hard
nessed for the production of power
for local and possibly for export also, I
as well as for pulp -producing purpos- )
es.
Nova Scotia has both power and
pulp wood in immense quantities, and 1
has already developed scvarn] thous-
and horse power under • its Power I
Commission, On the East River, ter '
instance, the Malay Falls, are pro-
during 5,500 horse power units, on 1
the Shea' Harbor system, which has I
an ultimate intention running up to
possibly ten times that amount, and
this is only one of its schemes. I
Manitoba has a magnifneicnt dam, I
and. power -house with almost un-
beended posibilities, developing 24,-
000 horse power, at Great Falls en
.the Winnipeg River, and a still larg-
er plant at Point du Bois, wit n a de-
velopment of 104,000 horse power
units', as well as numerous other pro-
positions developed, projected or. be-
ing added to.
•Calgary has an important power
plant at Kananskis, with potentiali-
ties of upwards of 100,000 horse-
power, and Alberta has altogethe_ a
possesion of power possibilities as
groat almost as the well-founded am-
bitions of its enthusiastic citizens.

ened to the fact tha It canna) rely

The first plant in the world to
traonsmtt high tension powerwer a long
distance, was, it is claimed, in thin
same province at a little place called
St, Nercisse on the Batiscan river.
In the year 1803, the original plant
standing on the identical sito,.where
a new enterprise was opened last
week by the Shawinigan Water and
Power Company,.dlolive•ed 1,200 h.p.
over a seventeen -mile line to Three
Rivrs. At the present time, the new
plant is generating 20,000 horse-
power and distributing it to distances
of three hundred miles. According
to present plans of the company, the
existing plant will be doubled in cap-
acity within a short time, wit'i anew
storage dam to increase the ]Head of

units.
Most of the talk in important fin-
ancial circles just now ha sto do with
power development, or the pulp anal
paper industry.

the last days of October between 1.
