Butler, of London; Mr. Bert Butler, of Crom- arty and Mrs. Harvey 'Perkins and daughter {Nola, .of Exeter, returned Saturday evening from an 5000 anile motor trip across .Western Canada, through the Rocky mountains to Victoria, B,C., making the round trip in 6 weeks and 4 days. During the entire trip the only trouble they ex- perienced was the picking up of a nail in each back tire. The crops in Manitoba were looking good. In Sas- katchewan they were needing rain. The trip through the Glacier Nation- al Park and through the mountains was -a beautiful trip. They cable through the :Glacier Park on June nand. In the mountains they encount- ered a thunder storm and in places there were snow banks from 7 to 10 Meet deep and bears could frequently be seen along the highway. — Exeter Times -Advocate.

HAYING MISHAPS (illy Alf and Tim) The hay is real heavy, Quite an excellent crop; The farmers keep working Until the rain says stop. At mowing and raking You need not fret: The loading and anaw-ing Are the hardest yet. Farmer John MdNaughton While building a monstrous load of hay Said, . "Hurry, West, pitch it tip, We must be drools by mid-day." "Get-tep now, Pat and Mike," He .called from six feet over the stake. - John Cairns, now of Brucefield, While haying with hie brother Tom - :Didn't lose much sweat Until they got their load on. Jack being afraid to drive Up the bank with Nig and Fan Upset the load at the :bottom, And they carried it in by hand. It was just before supper, That very same day, When two Irish. young fellows Were also at the hay. '('hey were the Coyne brothers, Jolly George and happy Frank, Who, while reversing out of the barn, Sorry to say, tumbled team and rack over the bank.

Ploughing Practice A series of experiments carried out at a government experimental station has given sante interesting results in regard ti ploughing at .different depths and times. On an average, over a period of nine years, .ploughing four inches deep for a rotation of corn, oats, clover and timothy has ,given higher yields than has ploughing seven inch- es deep, except in the case of oats, in ,which the yields have been pratctical- ly the sante. The a'liallote- ploughing is of particular advantage to the corn crop. In the prenaraticnt of sod laird for grain, it has 'been found that pough ing in July, as stun as the hay is off and top -working during the sutnmter has not only ,given Helier yields of .,rate, but has also left the land free front couch grans. The experintenf hos shown that on sandy loam soil, it .lues not pay to either rib the land nr rrplough in tite fall. Du heavy clay sod ribbing or reploughing late itt the fall gives the frost -a chance to mellow the soil -and leave it in a bet- ter state of tilth. In the preparation of sod land an corn, manuring on the sod and spring ploughing has given higher yields than manuring and fall ploughing. It would. therefore, appear that for corn on sandy loans, the land ;hoarid he mantrred and spring _ ploi tehed four inches ;feet, while for grain, it should be pl mite l aa soon as the 'lay is off at 1 toe -worked.

IND ELEVATORS NEEDED (From The 'Times -(Review,. 'tort Erie, of Thursday, !July list.) The building ' of grain elevators may be just a habit. The capacity of elevators on 'Georgian Bay and Lower Lake ports is 5K11100,i0100 bush- els and we are told that at the mo- ment there are .7)600,000 ,bushels of grain in storage. In the last winter it is understood that these elevators carried •little .grain. The great elevators at Buffalo are understood to be nearly empty and to have not earned much ,in the last winter, Also it is to be borne in mind that the temper of the Canadian peo- ple is not such as soon to permit the growth of a heavy .carryover of grain from •one ytar to the next. It is 'tetter business to sell the grain and ship it out of the country when it is grown. We have had enough of holding grain for several years and then selling it for less than we might have had for it when the crop was new. The foregoing are facts, For this reason the town council was wise in asking the promoter of a grain ele- vator levator for ,Fort Erie to come -,forward with his story ,before any .kind of ap- proval is given to a project which, so far as we can see, has no ocomonie justification for the present or the immediate futtere. Existing Buffalo elevators are more than ample to handle grain sent Clown to the head of the Niagarariverfor transhipment to the seaboard. And, if we mistake not, Buffalo has a harbor opposite the paint where it is pro ptosed to build the Fort Erie elevator. Residents along that part of the shore know of many occasions through the year when ships could not safely dock. 'Is it proposed to build a brealewatl also? Perhaps the Canadian taxpayers would like to build a breakwall to enable ships to dock at an elevator for which there seems no ,need and which, if .built, would compete ,with the elevators Which the taxpayers own 'at *Port ,Col- borne? !Almost simultaneously with the announcement, or revival, of the pro- ject .for a ,Fort Erie elevator, comes news of a similar 'project at Harrill- ton'—though 'Hamilton ,would' have a naalthouse - in addition. Hamilton is the •Anmbitious. 'City and doubtless !s accusing a financial writer on the To- ronto Telegram of jealousy when he remarked that Hamilton needs an elevator as much as Toronto needs Ca:sa- 'Loma. As for the malthouse which would be an adjunct, anyone thin•kin'g seriously of ,financing such projects night look carefully into that husiness, it is .probable that Canadian companies manufacturing malt found a fairly good export mar- ket just after repeal of proltibitioa in the United States. But the United States has been quickly ,rebuilding its malting capacity and the outlook now is that United States demand for Canadian malt will decrease. If, as is reported, existing capacity is 510 per cent in excess of domestic demand, Hamilton needs a malthottse about as much as Fort (Erie needs another river the same size as the 'Niagara. 'The Times -(Review is all for get- ting additional industries for this town and, although ,60 miles from 'Hamilton, we would benefit from any genuine prosperity which enhances ing city. But neither little Fort Erie nor (big Hamilton will be helped by the adquisition of white elephants. {Additional grain elef+ato:rs and such appear to bit in the white elephant class at this time. Two hired hands ,from neighboring farms were telling each other their troubles, One was complaining about not getting enough to eat. "Just this morning," he said, "tire cook says to nae, 'Do you know how many pancakes you've et already this morning?' T told her I didn't have occasion to count 'em. - 'Well,' says she, 'that last one was the twenty - shah.' And it made me so hot I got up from the table and went to work withitit My breakfast," The -woman was directed to her seat at :he military tattoo by an ob- liging officer, and offered hili six - peace. "'Here you are, nay malt." I beg your pardon, madam, .but IT ant an officer." "I can't help it; that's all the change I've got" "I suppose you'd be surprised if gave you a check for a birthday pres- ent, 'George?" said ,Mrs. 'Robinson. a'andeedl" replied her husband. "Well, here it is—all made out and ready for you to sign." the importance of that up -and -cont- Want and For Sale Ads., 1 week, 2!5c.
