Tellington—•A total of $26.000 in

Thanksgiving Fair. The price
;ed from 21 , to 25 cents per,
ad. We expect about 150' tons of

(Brant—Small \quantities of red
clover being marketed at $8 per bus-
hel cleaned.
Dufferin—Digging of: turnips has
been ethpleted. The crop is below
average in yield and quality.
Dundas—A great deal of ditohing
has been done and is being done.
The dry weather this fall has been
particularly adaptable for drainage
work.

Clean Spray Outfits
. W. G. Evans, practical spraying
expert in the Department of Bot-
any, O. A. C1., -emphatically recom-
mends ,that all spray: outfits be
cleaned up before being pee away -for'
the season if the best results are to'
be obtained next year. They should
be carefully overhauled, the tank be-
ing filled with water to; soften the
spray' residue and after a soak of.
several days,; the : machine should - be
startled and the water,: forced through.
`the pump and 'lie -se so that any collec-
tion of spray material will be carried
away. As 'the Water leaves the gun
it should be used to wash clown the
eitterior parts' of the machine. After:•
emptying the tank the drain plugs
should be removedand tee engine
run 'for a few minutes. It is import-
ant also, .to see that the different
parts of the pump are protected by
a 'coating of oil to prevent rust.:
British' Apple. Market
Fruit growers will be pleased to
learn from the report of Andrew
Fulton, overseas .representative of
the Ontario Fruit Growers' Associa-
tion, that the British market fon
'Canadian apples has,! been most satis-
factory during October, due chiefly
to a light 'offering of transaltanic
apples. "Ontario apples. have been
of exceedingly`high ; quality with
correspondingly satisfadtory prices,"
remarks Mae 'Fulton. Ontario sed
apples _ were well competed for and
;some excellent McIntosh Reds ,sold at
good prices. However, in, n cable' on
Nov. 9th, Mi.. Fulton', announced that
Ontario apple prices were falling' off
.somewhat on the English market.
The cause was attributed to a large
number of off -condition' apples from
all' source's while British apples were
plentiful. It is *expected that the
demand for red apples avill be very.
high before,Christmas. and shippers'
are *warned to go easy. on Greenings;
and Starks . before that time.
Ontario apple growers should
give ,closer'' `attention to packing,
especially .in securing a tightepaek
for the British market. Recent ar-
rivals overseas have shown an ex-
ceasive quantity, of slacks amounting
in scene cases to over fifty per cent,
of ,the shipinent.
Ontario beekeepers should appree
date the fact that the finest and most

The largest' yield of winter wheat
have been obtained in the experi-
meenta at Guelph in those years 'in
which winter wheat entered the Win-
ter in good condition with a strong,
uniform growth. This is an excellent
suggestion for sowing winter wheat
at the right time ib. autumn. e
In a .contest for Agricultural re-
presentatives,
epr sentatives, Mr, H. L. Trueman,
the representative for Grenville
County, was awarded first place for
the soundest soil improvement pro -
grant adapted to the requirements, of
his eountyr, , The award entitled him
to "a free trip to the American Society_
'of Agromonsy meeting held in
Chicago, November 13th to 15th.
Warm Water a Benefit '
Good feeders have long recog-
nized the value of, liberal quantities
of water to all classes of live stock.
Hogs- do better and are more thrifty
and cows undoubtedly give more
milk when they are watertd $freely.
Experimental station tests have et-
talbiiehed beyond a doubt the value
,of warm water far Stook during
winter weather. In an actual test
with fall pigs, the use of automatic
,seated waters saved $1 per pig in
feed costs. A cow producing five gal-
lon of milk a day will drink 20 gal-
lons of water. If she is, eonipelled
to' drink that much ice 'water, her
energy is required to heat it to body
temperatuee arid' her production suf-
fers.
An Expensive Secret
As an, example of the correspond-
ence 'which, reaches' the Ontario
Department of Agriculture, the fol-
lewing is of interest: •
"Being so many cases of chicken
stealing throughout the province
set me thinking and I tumbled to
an idea which': I honestly believe
would be in 'nearly every case . a
sure and final :tracing and convic-
°tion of the ones who are doing such
;Work..
"Rut itwould need ;government
assistance and control, -also the co-
operation of all poultry dealers or
certain eompulsory registration of
all poultry handled.

this myself, but rather ,than keep it
secret (if it would be made a benefit
to the province) I would make \nay
;plans or ideas known for .8,500.
"Mr. W. Dawson, managing editor
of, the Ontario Farmer,'referred me
to you. I await your reply - with
thanks."
Needless to say the Department
is not paying large'' sums for use,

Taking our train .from Jasper we
travelled all night and in the morn-
ing came to a few places of note,
Rainbow on Rainbow Lake, also
Pocahontus, likely where we get the
coal, also Yellow' Read Pass, where
we' see the ,"Great Divide" between
Alberta and British Columbia. Three
Rivers meet here and all turn oft in
different direction's.
Now we are in the mountable. and
Mt. Robson, as you know, stands
the highest peak, 13,700 ft., and we
were told that in a hundred years
'we might never get a better view.
The air is so often hazy 'there, Then
there is the entrance .to Hell's Gate,
after we leave Blue River. A very
dangerous looking spot, beyond des-
cription.
There are so many different Ran-
ges of Mountains, the Rockies; Car-
iboo, Selkirks and the Coast moun-
tains, and I don't know the dividing,

train. Then again, eve travel on :the
vetige of a great precipice, and
sometimes we are in straits where
the railroad, s.+iver' and highway
fight for space. ' But according to
the'danger so is the caution.
