Unique and Insti°il.active Exhibit Depicting Extent of Government-owned tac;iwned8 Sly stern. If there is any single exhibit at this year's Canadian National Exhi- • bition that'will prove to be a i;Iecce to visitors, it is that of the Canadian National -Grand Trunk Railways. Both from the standpoint of interest that - it will excite and the wide knowledge it will disseminate the exhibit is of outstanding importance. The exhih:t occupies two of the large cir.u_ar rooms in the Railway Building. As the display in each is fundmnhently different each has, of course, its own particular feature. Oanada's National Way. The large circular room at the northwest angle of the building is devoted to one particular purpose: the conveying to visitors aconception of the extent anti inlpot'tance of Can- ada's "Great National highway," with des 22.375 miles of steel rails, and an ocular demonstration of the vastness of the country and the rich resources peculiar to each of the nine Provinces of the Dominion. The provision made fo,,, attaining this two -fold object is both unique and elaborate. Skirting in circular form about two-thirds of the room is a painting nearly a hundred feet in height. On the left, of eastern side, as the visitor enters is depicted a section of the Pacific coast extending from south of Portland, Ore.,.. to north of Prince Rupert, while its view inland ex- tends well 'into the prairie country. Within this area are shown the erica - thin of the principal cities, rivers, lake% and that vast -range, of moun- tains stretching eastward spine 400 miles. There is also shown in heavy red lines the various routes of the Canadian National Railways System operating in that part of the country. At the other, or western, enol of the picture is depicted the Atlantic coast from South of New York to Labrador. Hudson's Bay, with its various feeding streams, stands out in bold relief. So, in a modified way, do the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and other important rivers of the area covered by the picture. Standing out in bold re lief, in red, are the girdiron of rail- ways owned and operated in East- ern and Middle Canteen by the Cana- dian National Railways—the largest single system in the world, and the only system whose lines run wholly through the Dominion 'from coast to coast. The location of the principal cities is else shown. Appropriately grouped i'n the centre of the picture between the • scenes depicting the Pacific and At- lalntic Coasts are large- paintings representing each of the nine Prov- inces. A forest of giant trees de- picts the lumbering resources of British Columbia. A vast herd of sheep grazing upon the prairie is emblematical of Alberta. Standing sheaevs el wheat, with fields and elevators in the background, relire- gent:; Saskatchewan. . The Port Garry 'Hotel, standing near the re- maining section of old ]fort Gary, indicates the growth -of Manitoba. A 'oagniCtceut painting of Niagara Falls is indicative of the resources of Ontario in hydro -electric power. !A. striking picture of the Citadel of Quebec, with the river at its feet bosomed with vessels, represents the Province of Quebec. A river, flanked by rich verdure and carry- •.ing logs down strecun to mills, repre- sents the lumber industry of New Brunswick. A harbor scene, with vessels moored at a dock, represents the maritime resources of Nova Scotia; while a rIClh pastoral scene aptly depicts Prince Edward Island, the "Garden of the Gulf."

On the northern wall of the sante room are two other important lame and interesting pictures. One of these, in natural colors, and about 20 by 10 feet in size, shows Mount. Robson, the highest in the Rockies, reaching as it does an alt:tulle of 12,0011 feet. With Robson occupying the centre of the picture and flank- ed on either side by subordinate mountains and the foot of its glacier washed by a deep blue lake, the scene is not one to he forgotten. The other picture has a map of the world as its centre, while around it, sltil:ng upon a blue sea, are the steamers of the Canadian Merchant Marine, the Government-owned ser- vice of over 60 vessels operated by. the Canadian National Railways. Industrial and Operating Exhibit The exhibit in the second circular room is designers to represent the industrial and operating end of the Canadian National Railways. A new feature in this room is n section de- signed to depict the operation of the elevator system of Port Arthur and Fort William. in the fore- ground is a model of the Canadian National Railways elevator, the original of which has a capacity of ten million .bushels—the largest in the world. At this elevator a vessel is in the act of being loaded, while, in order to 1(0001(50 the realisrll of the scene, trains and steamers, by a mechanical device, are kept in mo- tion. Another section has elaborate displays, in huge glass jars, of a full range. of Canadian fruits, while t hanging• in, the background are transparent scenes of various phases of Canadian life. Across the room from this display is a large section devoted to exhibits or Canadian wild animals of practically alli ',kinds, while in the bacicgorund is a picture of heroic size of the famous Algon- quin Provincial . Park and game re serve. On the western wall, cover- ing 40 by 18 feet of gpaee, is a topical map of Canada from coast to Coast, and showing not only the plain and branch lines of the Cana- dian National System, but the prin- cipal cities and town*. 'rhe letters showing the principal towns are automatically brought into bold re- lief by an ingenious device.

So far as climate is eapeer: se apples can be gr'ow'n commercially in miy part of Old Ontario, seu131 of a. Kee drawn from Parry Sound to Ottawa; in fact, there are commer- cial orchards pr'otlueing fruit at aL Profit considerably farther north. than this. Many people think of commercial apple orebar'ds as being necessarily confined to the milder parts of the province, and to the lake districts, hut the faet is worth emphnsizing that we have varieties of .uples suitable for corru1Orcial culturh In every county of Old On- tario, . The winter har'dlness of the many varieties grown throughout Ontario Is now very well established, and it is possible to select varieties which will be hardy for any district, Late and :Folly Frosts. The most serious climatic, diffi- culty in the Province of Ontario is the occurrence of late. frost in spring, and early frost in 14x11. 0tlter dial- culties of a climatic nature can be largely overcome by the selection of suitable varieties, or by careful dis- crimination with regard to soil, ele- vation, aspect, etc. `it may he point- ed out, however, that frosts are .more 000101on and. more severe over large areas of flat country than where the topography is rolling or hilly. Large (1 0(s o1' 801110 of the southern counties of Ontario are, therefore, more or less unsuited to commercial apple o•charding because of their flat cirararter. A more roll- ing country is much to be preferred, so that orchards can be made safer from frost by the better air drainage afforded. Suitable Sail 1n Every Comity. So tar as Bolls are conoereid, it may be stated that there is an abundance of land In every coun'.ry suitable for apple growing. Well drained land is essential for successful orcharding, and there is plenty of soil of this type to be had in almost every district. Summing up soil and climate, it may be said that no province or state 111 North America has so large an area so favorable in soil and Climate for apple growing as has tine Pro- vince of Ontario. If this statement is true it becomes obvious that the prepent distribution of apple orch- ards in Ontario is dependent on other factors. Most Profitable Near Cities. Transportation is the most Import- ant factor havieg to do with the distribution of commercial apple diehards 111 Ontario. In other words, the commercial apple orchards are located within reach of transporta- tion facilities, and the better these facilities have been with relation to large cities and to the developing Markets of the prairies the more rapid has been the development of commercial orcharding. A location hear a huge city may ha desirable, but 11 better soil and climate are to be found at a distance, the most dis- tant location is likely to be preferred, provided transportation facilities are good. Some districts in Ontario possess excellent conditions of soils and cli- mate, but are lacking in transporta- ion facilities, and until facilities aro available little development can take place in commercial orcllarding, The Labor Situation. The labor situation for some years has been acute, but has become more normal during the present year. For commercial orchard operations on a sizable basis, it is necessary to be within reach of a tellPerary supply of labor for apple picking. Other- wi50, it becomes necessary to build dwellings for men and their families ter that a supply of labor may be always available. The difnculties of the labor situ- ation at picking time 0101 be lessened considerably by the planting of varie- ties which ripen in succession, and by taking care to get the fight pro- porticn of each. A large area of one variety ripening at one time Is ex- tremely difficult to handle, — T. 4V. Crow, 0. A. College, Guelph. VACATION IS OVER. Again the school bell rings at morning anti at 1100(1; again with tens, of thousands the hardest kind of work has begun, the renewal of which is a mental and physical strain to ,all except the host rugged. The little girl that a short thne ago had roses do her Meeks, and the 1it- tlr boy whose lips were then so red ,you would have insisted that they had heel' "kissed by strawberries," have already lost something of the appearance of health. Now is a time when many children should be given al tonic, which may prevent much serious trouble. No other is so highly to be recommended as Hood's Sarsaparilla, which strengthens the nerves, perfecta di- gestion and assimilation. It aids men- tal development by building up the whole system. Equally good as a Medicinal pre- paration are Hood's Pills, which are so well adapted for both children and adults. In shall doses they are a gentle laxative, in larger doses en active cathartic. CLEVER AT REPARTEE iN '1'O- • RONTO, AREN'T TREY? .

'Sorry, but we don't run on that street. You'll have to get off at the corner and walk," said the conductor, "Oh, pin the car tip and let him 131l'. It'll only take a :few minutes.

Andrew Boss, veteran farm man- ager with the Minnesota Experiment Station, says such pastures can be saved to some extent by proper care. Where the acreage of pasture is suf- ficient and with a little to spare, many of the bare or thinner spots can be top stressed with good barn- yard manure to advantage, The top dl'eaelog 1ui11 protect the 1'oot8 some- what, and in the course of a month or two a decided improvement in quantity and quality of grass will be noted. "It is good practice," says Ml', Boss, "to divide the neatul'e into two fields, if possible, and pasture a1t0r- nate weeks, or for alternate longe' periods, depending on the quantity of grass and the condition ft is in. A. Part of the pasture should be allow- ed to make good growth and be held in reserve until rho hof; weather or July and August 00rltes on. During the fly season it is difficult enough to keep stock in good condition oven when they are on good pasture, and no name should be spared to have at least one or two good Pasture fields for this season." Strawberry runners should be spaced as evenly as possible to se - mire an even row that will give the most fruit.

The best birds to .flesh oe fatten are those of the heavier breeds, su411 as Wyandottes, Rods and Rocks. The light breeds, such as Leghorns, seldom pay to fatten unless they are very thin in flesh. The birds Intended for fattening should be confined to Of small pen. or slatted coop. 'elle process Is not difficult 12 you will but pay atten- tion to a few points that are essential. 00 not feed the birds for the first day they are shut up. You should give them something to drink, but it is best to give no feed. 'risen feed very 11 s• for true or and gradually increase the rati0n, being veru careful not to over sere usually start chickens on very finely ground grains at i:he rate of three-quarters of an ounce of grain per feed to each bird, feeding twice daily. T1tts•cati be increased gradu- ally to two or three dales this amount. Generally the most profit- able gains are made during the first fourteen to sixteen days' feeding. Such birds will not be excessively (''at, but should be fat enough to cook and eat well. Some markets demand a fatter bird. The most pro(table gains are made on birds weighing from three and one-half to four and ono -halt pounds when put tap to fatten. .Feed the (;rain Finely (]round. The grains fed should be finely ground, and, if at all possible, should be mixed with sour milk. Mix the feed to a consistency of a pancake batter. The more Milk the chicken will take' tine better bird you will have in the end. !Milk appears to have no good substitute for fattening chickens. If you cannot get milk then add ten to fifteen per cent. of meat meal to the ration and mix with water. The addition of a little green food daily will help matters. Many people get better results by feeding a little salt. About one-half pound to one hundred pounds of dry grain is sufficient. This mixes best by being dissolved in water and add- ing a little at each feed. Be careful not to use too much. The'best grains available now are a mixture of ground barley, corn- meal, finely ground buckwheat, and shorts. Oats are good if part of the hull is sifted out, as are also ground brewers' grains. We have used with good results a mixture of two parts of ground barley, two parts corn- meal, and two parts shorts, mixed with twice the amount of sour milk. In general feed about one-third shorts and then whatever finely ground grains you may have about the farm. Six Points Worth Iiernemheeing.

In making a 110rnnanent business of rltnbarb forcing, it is necessary, each year, to set out a new bed, as plants once forced are of 110 fur.he• value.

AUTUMN SOWN CROPS Results of Experiments Within the past year, experiments have been conducted at the College and throughout Ontario with Winter Wheat, Winter Rye, Winter Emmet, Winter Barley and hairy Vetches. About three hundred varieties of Winter wheat and many selections, and crosses have been grown under experiment at the Agricultural Col- lege within the past thirty-one years. Fourteen nailed varieties of winter wheat have been grown under test at the College for twenty-six years with average results for the whole 1101 (0l as follows: Yield of grain per acre, 43.3 bushels; yield of straw per acre, 2.7 tons; and weight per measure() basllel, 00.0 pounds, The percentage decrease per acre in 1321 fan comparison with the average for the whole period amounts to 37.4 in yield of grain, 37.0 in yield of straw, acid 2.3 in weight of grain per 11102l- sured bushel. It will, therefore, be seen that; the winter wheat results at the College are considerably below tine average this season. Among the part:elderly prominent winter wheats in Ontario at the pres- ent time arc the Dawson's Golden Pharr, till' 0. A. C. No. 104, the No. 0, and the Imperial Amber. he Daw- on's Golden Chaff produces a very stiff straw of medium length, beard- less heads with red chaff, and white grain. The 0. A. C. No. 104 was or- iginated at the College by crossing the Dawos,l.'s Golden Chaff and the Bulgarian. It is a white Wheat with a white chaff= similar to the Bulgarian and has a beardless head similar to the Dawson's Golden Chaff. It is more vigorous in growth and has killed out less 111 the winter than either of its parents. The No. 6 re- sembles the Dawson's Golden Chaff but Inas a squarer head, the straw has a. purplish tinge, and the crop Is apparently less subject to smut. The Imperial Amber is a bearded wheat with a red chaff and red grain. Experiments at the College have shown that the best results have been obtained from - sowing large, plump, sound, well -matured winter wheat seed of strong vitality. Five varieties of winter wheat have been tested experimentally by farmers throughout Ontario in each of the past five years. The average results in yield of bushels per acre for the whole period are as follows: 0. A. C. No. 104, 27; Improved Daw- son's Golden Chaff, 26; Improved Im- perial Amber, 26.4; Kharkov, 22.9; Yaroslaf, 21. The 0. A. C. No.- 104 surpassed 111e Dawson's Golden Clasir and the imperial Amber varieties in yield pe' acre both at the College anti throughout Ontario. Of the winter ryes the Mammoth White, Petkus, and Rosen have given the highest returns. Winter Barley is net quite as hardy as winter wheat but, when it sur- vives the winter, it gives a high yield. 4 POR.TUCESE APPIt.ECiATiON 0P TREES In many places where timber trees are to be found in Portugal, one sees the following' inscription: "Ye who pass by 3131(1.10001(1 raise your hand against me, harken ere you baz'ni ate."
