the chief engineers of another motor
company to accompany him on a trial
run with a new ear, The levitation
was accepted, and once an the open
road the engineer opened out the car
till he was doing about 110 k.p.h. It
was a blazing hot day. suddenly
there came the terrific report of a
burst tyre. Now a burst tyre at such
a speed generally means disaster,
The engineer gripped the wheet and,
holding the swaying car more or less
steady, finally succeeded In pulling
her up.
"There!" exclaimed the driver, bri-
umpbantly. "You see what 11 is to
have good nerves and to bo able to

The builder got out and went
round to the rear to investigate. "Dp
you know which tyre has burst?" he
asked.
"Rear one, I suppose," said the
driver.
"No," was the reply, "It's the
spare!" It had burst with the heat
of the sun. •

ONTARIO LEAPS IN TOBACCO
Chief Producing 'Province.—Growth
of Industry Attributable to Greet
Britain's Preferential Tariff,
Declares W. 11. Houghton.
Figures disclosing the surprising
growth of the tobacco industry in
Canada in recent :veers were om-
boaed in an adliees by W. R.
Houghton to the Insurance Institute
of Toronto at the mint -lily dinner in
the Board of Trade dining room,
Toronto, last week. Mr. Houghton
is assistant manager of the London
and Lancashire Insurance Coinpany,
Toronto. - -
Ontario, the speaker deelared, was
far in the lead in the production of
Canadian tobacco, and he attributed
a great part of the 100(1111 growth of
the tndustry to a preferential tariff
enforced by Great Britain in 1925.
In 1924, the last year before the
introduction of the prcferontial
tariff, Canada produced 3,000,000
pounds of tobacco, This year the
output reached '7,000,000 pounds,
51.1 percent of which was produced
in Ontario, with 1'7,3 per cent. in
Quebec and 1.1 per cent. grown in
Brielh Columbia, In 192.1 the Pan-
ific Coast province produced no to-
bacco, while Ontario and Quebec
grew respectively 1.8 and 35,2 per
cent of Canada's crop.
CHIEF PRODUCING COUNTIES
Essex and Kent were tho chief
producing counties In Ontario, 30,-
000 acres being dedicated to the
purpose in 1927, and that amount
over last year. Norfolk had also
come forward as a tohacco-producing
county, 1,450 acres havin.r been
cropped this year, with an additional
1,800 acres purchased by a syndicate
for the purpose.
In the world production of the
weed, the United States was still far
ahead of all competiters, seven hun-
dred million to one billion pounds
being grown there annually, The
advantage of the British perferential
tariff is obvious, in 11110 1818 of such
competition, when it is uuder.toed
that Great Britatin is one of the lar -
est users of the different forms. Ger-
many- Austria, France and Italy had
also of late become great geowers of
tobacco, said the speaker,
Mr. Houghton denit also with
manufacturing features of the in-
dustry, etathig that 122 manufactur-
ing plants in Canada had turned out
812,000,000 worth of on:slums in
1926 and employed 8,400 men and
women. The proportions observed
between Ontario and Quebec in
growing were reversed in manufac-
turing, it was pointed out,
FOOD REQUIREMENTS FOR
RANCH FOXF.S
Foxes in captivity must be vary
carefully fed. Overfeeding should
always be avoided, for, as far as
quantity goes, the daily ration for a
ranch fox should be just a little in
excess of a maintenanne ration, - The
proper rations for foxes have be.en
worked out after considerable re-
search at the Dominion Experimental
Fax Ranch at Sum:nimble, 1', E. T.
and the results are new given in a
bulletin on Fox Ranching in Canada,
distributed by the Publications
Branch, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, An outline of daily rations
based --cub the, fuel value of the food
and the food requireinents of foxes
to given in the bulletin, As an ex-
ample, the following is the daily ra-
tion advised for a ramth of 20 adult
foxes for the period from September
1 to January 1, the quantities vary-
ing according to the average size of
the foxes. Coolced cereals 20 to 26
ounces, meat 5 to 7 pounds, milk
4IA to 6 pints, and beef suet 0 to 9
ounces. The size of the foxes is de-
termined by the body length from the
snout to the base of the tail, For
feeding purposes foxes with body
length of 24, 25, 26 and 27 inches
limy be considered WS Email, medium
sized, large and very laitge, and the
rations are measured accordingly.
The bulletin gives other rations for
different seasons,
