The infant's Most
Dangerous Disease.
Whooping Cough, although specially a
disease of childhood, is by no means coa-
fised to that period but may occur at
any time of life. It is one of the most
dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly
causes more deaths than scarlet fever,
typhoid or diphtheria, and is more
common in finale than in male children.
Whooping Cough starts with sneezing,
watering of the eyes, irritation of the
throat, feverishness and cough. The
a:ighing attacks occur frequently but
are generally more severe at night.
On the first sign of a "whoop," Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine ,Syrup should bo
administered, and weeks of suffering
prevented, as it helps to clear the bron-
chial. tubes of the collected raucous and
Phlegm. ,14
Mrs. Nellie Barley, Amherst,jN.S..
writes: I have much pleasure in saying
that there is no cough syrup like Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. My little
girt took whooping cough from a little
girl who has since died with it. I tried
lots of things but found 'Dr. Wood's'
to give the greatest relief. It hoped her
to rain; the phlegm, and she is now better;
My young brother is also taking the
cough, and I am getting `Dr. Wood's' fa
work again."414). y

$400,000, and was started in 1908, the
town guaranteeing the botsds to the
extent of. 8150,000, or a little better
than one third of the road. The hydro
report states that it would be noes
sary to spend in the neighborhood of
$400,000 to reconstruct the road to Kin
cardiae, and, with the other necessary
expenses, consisting of stations, tolling
stock, etc., the road, when completed,
would cost well over $1,000,000, The
cost of operation would be 45,400 which
with the interest, would run over $1000,

of some 458,000 To make ends meet
tile Town of. Goderich would have to
pay about 412,000 over and above
its yearly interest of $7,500. Public
opinion is strongly in favor of dis

Goderich about $4,0000, an amount
about equal to that already paid an

7f.
Canada's total grain crop for 1915
totalled 10,194,609,250 bushels, with
a value of $800,000,000 according to
figures published recently. More con-
servative figures place the grain crop
value for 1915 at $600,000,000. it is
interesting to note that the grain crop
of Canada is worth more than the whole
metallic production of the United States
as is shown by other reports.
The big 1955 grain crop of Canada
was gathered in from less than 10 per
cent. of the arable land of the Dominion.
This means that it Would be possible to
grow in Canada a grain crop worth
$8,000,000,000. The total tilled area
In Canada in 5915 was 37,263,000 acres
The wheat yield of Canada last year
Was 376,303,600 bushels with a value
of $342,S69,4o0. Tliis was an increase
of 215,023,600 bushels over 1914, The
average yield per acre last year was
28.98 bushels as compared with 15.67
bushels for the previous year.
Premier Wheat Country.
Canada is fast becoming one of the
most important gralhaties of the world
as is shown in comparison with one
year's production in the following fig-
ures; wheat production:
British India
France
Italy
Argentina
Australia
Germany
Canada produces more wheat in pro -
portio» to her population than any
country in the world aitd is fast going
ahead of British India as the great grain-
ary of the British Empire. Canada's ex-
portable wheat and flour from the 1915
harvest is estimated at a value of $200,-
000,000 and the Dominion now has ap-
proximately 545 floud mills, with a
daily capacity exceeding 11,865 barrels.
Oat Crop is Larger.
But large as was the 1915 wheat
crop it was not in number of bushels
Canada's greatest grain crop, it being
exceeded by oats which gave a yield of
520,103,000 bushels with a value of
$70,894,700. Though the oat crop in
number of bushels exceeded the wheat
crop by a big margin, the cash value of
the wheat crop was the greater. Can-
Ada's oat crop in 1915 showed a gain
over the 1914 oat crop of over 200,000-
000 as shown in the following figures;
Bushels.
1915 oat crop 520,103,000
1914 oat crop 313,073,000

106,600,000
545,944,000
Increase 207,025,000
There were other grain crops which
also helped to swell the 1915 yield and
which are among the important an-
nual productions of the Dominion, For
example the barley crop of Canada is
bigger than the wheat crop of Rumania
and there are other equally creditable
comparisons which can be made,
India No Longer Rival.
Up to a few years ago Canada's most
formidable rivals in the wheat product-
ion were the Argentine—in South Am-
erica, and British India... The Canadian
production has so increased that'it has
now passed: the yield of British India
and has:,almost equalled the yield of
India and the Argentine combined, 'rhe
increase. In tete wheat production has
been ntuch.greater propo•tiohately than

its

times the 1915 production. Such a affects the lura t• f�
productfop would snake it possible for
the Dominion to raiseas much grain
as Ott the other countries of the world
combined, with the exception of the
United States. The wheat production
of India and South America has been
increasing, but these countries are

P
than t n Gunada. The wheat fields of Can-
ada have been brought into close touch
with the Antlantic and Pacific coasts
by the increased railway facilities of
the western provinces and the Domin-
ion is so well eqquiped with lake, river,

that record grain crops are handled
rapidly, the annual fall movement be-
ing also assisted by the transportation
lines of United States as well as through
