Toronto despatch: Of a. very official
character, was the send-off given to the
Queen's Own at their last drill in the
armories last night, before starting for
Eng]crnd. His Honor, the Lieutenant -
Governor, Sir James Whitney, Premier
of Ontario; his Worship, Mayor Geary,
end Col. Sir Henry Pellatt, ail address-
ed the regiment, and a number of other
officers and dignitaries were open the
platform with theist.
The regiment paraded six hundred
strong and went through a brief pre-
liminary drill I+e:ore beteg inspected by
the Lieutenant -Governer and party,. Tee
nonsense crowd of friends and relatives
of the members of the regiment ebeerul
as his honor rt::.e ftetn his chair en the
temporary platform to speak.
Col. (litisen appeared to be moved at
the spectacle before hint and referred.
to the fact that he was, sonic 50 years
are, a raw private in that very regi-
ment. He drew attention to the fine
record, of the regiment in that 50 years,
both. on the parade ground and in active
service. In this new departure that they
'were undertaking, his Honor warned the
amen that they need not expect any pie-.
but a lot of hard work. Speaking
officially -for thei province, he • stated
that the Government felt proud of what
Sir Henry Pellatt and the Queen's Owe
were about to show the world in this
trip to the Old Country to put in a
month'si
drill with the British army.
Of the many evidences of recent date
of the growing close alliance between
the Mother Country and the Colonies,
not one was more significant than this
event. It showed that our loyalty was
more than mere lip loyalty; that it was
something earnest. IIe congratulated
Sir 'Henry and the regiment for the
great sacrifice it meant to all concerned
and particularly to the commanding of-
ficer, who had given so much labor and
financial assistance to the undertaking.
Premier Sir James ii hittaey formally
presented the order -in -council passed by
the executive of the province yesterday
afternoon, thanking Sir Henry and the
regiment for the spirit of self-sacrifice
ing patriotism which had prompted the
trip.
Sir Henry Pellatt was visibly moved•
by the number of cotuplinents paid to
him and his regiment. by the different
speakers and expressed his inability to
properly thank the Government and the'
City Council for their resolutions; of con-
gratulation and encouragement. He
thought that by sending a' regiment like
the Queen's Own to be reviewed by the
soliders of the Mother . Country, he
would be doing something for the Em-
pire by showing the underlying strength
and fighting power that existed in the
-dominions beyond the seas. He had
thought, too, that much could be ]earned
by the Canadian militiamen by rubbing
shoulder to shoulder with the British
soldiers at Aldershot.
The regiment parades at 9 o'clock
Saturday night preparatory to entrain-
ing for Quebec.

obtain but ten.pe cent. of number one
apples where sone , years ago the per-
centage was 75 and S0. The second
cause was change of climate. Varieties
of trees imported from southern climes
had been taken too far north, with the
result that they corld not withstand
the severe winters, The third reason—
namely, snore culls and more unmixed for
orchards• --grows out of the other two
reasons. The result is that the market
is glutted with second grade fruit. The
sante thing was experienced in the Niag-
ara Peninsula sonic years ago, and as
the growers there learned that the num-
ber one peach never was a drug on the
market, the apple- men Will find that the

AVMTORS BAST
Walter Brookes Seriously Injured
Avoiding Contact With Spectators.
Asbury Park, Aug. 15.—A serious mis-
han to Walter Brookens, in which the
daring Wright aviator was painfully but
not dangerously hart, marred the open-
ing day of the aviation meet here.
Brookens was dashed to earth when his
machine suddenly turned turtle after he
bad been forced to swerve suddenly to
avoid crashing into a crowd of specta-
tors. Seven other .persons among whom
the machine tumbled were more or less
seriously injured. Brookens was pinned
under the wreekage, and was only hall
,t:onseious when friends reached him.
I:hj; started a report that he' had been
fatally injured. An examination showed
that his nose was;. broken, and that he
had been badly bruised and shaken up,
but not seriously hurt.
Brook -ens, who, it will be remembered,
took part in the aviation meets at the
Trethewey Farm, Weston. Ont., and
Montreal last month; created a world's
record for high flying on July 9 at At-
lantic City, N. J., where he reached an
elevation of 0,1755 feet in a Wright bi-
plane. For this feat he received a $5,-
000 prize offered by the Atlantic City
Aero Club, Brookens created other re-
cords for high flying at Indianapolis.

MITCHELL ARRIVES
Also Two .Female Warders to Take
. Miss Leneve Home,
Quebec despatch: Detective Sergt.
Mitchell, of Scotland Yard, and two
female warders who are to have
charge of Miss Lenevi on the journey
back to London, arrived here to; day on
the steamer Lake Manitoba. The prison-
ers in the ordinary course evil be hand-
ed Over to Mitchell by the governor 01
the prison. who will do so on the order
of the court. The detective is only bring-
ingeorroborative evidence in the event
of Crippen contesting the ease here. The
governor would not state when the pri-
sobers will leave the prison. One thing
only is definite, that the prisoners can-
not leave wan Uonday. They must stay
the requisite fifteen, days. After that
they will 'wive ori dir•eetion of Sergeant
Mitchell. Meanwhile interest here lathe
been properly arrested, and, besides, he
has no intention to silk to retrain here.
He is waiting impatiently the arrival of:
Inspector Miteleell, who will bring him
lint' back* ] ngleild." , •
"Notwithstanding the 'reports
lislied to the etoutrary, Crippen does
net speak french. A' reporter, was
asking Governor Morin. if , he talked
to Crippen during the day. "Welt,
you know I don't talk English• well,
so I tried Drench' with the prisoner,
but I have discovered that he does
not speak it . at all, and only answers
when addressed in English., He tapes
about the prison and Quebec, but never
speaks of his eeirne or, Miss Leneve, but
I arra positive -.that he does, not speak
French." •
The prisoner to -day • indulged in
walking to and fro in the.'corridor for
a• couple, of hours and then spent the.
rest of the day reading. This is the
first time since his incarceration that
he has taken so' much exeh+cise. Miss
Leneve has recovered her spirits so
much that she laughed to -day at a
remark which the governor made to
her in broken English. He goes to
see her twice a day, once in the morn-
ing and in the evening. The matron
is English; and to -day a newcomer
was placed in the room with Miss Le -
neve. Site is a French girl and
speaks no word of English. This is pre-
ferable, as no communication can thus
pass between those confined.
Inspector Dew did not pay any. visit,
to the prisoners to -day. There is no
need for him to go there, as all author-
ity is vested in the governor himself.
The newspaper men ,have ceased to har-
ass him and he can now promenade.
London cable: It is reported to-
day that the authorities have discover-
ed a clue to the certain identity of the
body unearthed in the Hilldrop Crescent
home of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, now un-
der arrest in Quebec awaiting extradi-
tion on the charge of having murdered
an unnamed woman.
The police have contended all along
that the bits of flesh found were parts
of the bossy of Belle Elmore, the ac-
tress wife of Dr. Crippen, but their iden-
tification as such has been a matter of
much doubt. It is generally believed
that the case of the Crown rests on a
positive identification and the greatest
importance is attached to the latest de-
velopments.
The hopeful clue was obtained during
an exhaustive examination of the body
made by Professor Pepper, the home of-
fice expert, who had previously given
many hours to the case. During the five
hours that he worked. Prof. Pepper ob-
tained conclusive evidence that the sex
was feminine. He ;then continued with
the purpose of determining the manner
of death, having in mind the possibility'
'that poison was used. Theanalysis. so
far as the poison 'theory 'is 4orteerned,
was not completed to -day, but it was
reported that the physician found evi-
dence that at some period the woman had
undergone a surgical operation. If this
can be established the authorities claim.
'that they have gone a long way in prov-
ing that the victim was Belle Elmore.
The inquest will be resumed on Mon-
day, and as that day approaches inter-
est in the ease is revived. It is doubt-
ful, however, if anything beyond the
scientific evidence is brought to light
before the return here of Dr. Crippen
and Ethel Clare Leneve, who is jointly
charged with him with guilty knowledge
of the woman's death.

GREAT STORM.
Immense Damage Done to Crops in
the Leamington District,
Leamington, Ont., despatch: Froin
later information it develops that the
hailstorms which swept over the Leam-
ington fruit and vegetable belt yester-
day afternoon caused the farmers very
much loss. It is estimated that the
peach crop was reduced to half it was
a few days ago. The melon crop also
will be reduced to a half crop. The corn
crop is very badly damaged, the leaves
being cut into ribbons, but the severest
loss will be to the tobacco growers. The.
tobacco crop within the storm -swept
district will be a total loss, nothing be-
ing Ieft standing but the stents. Es-
timates from reliable sources put • the
damage in the hundreds of thousand of
dollars. Great losses were sustained
by green -house owners. The settlers
report the storm as one of the most
destructive they ever saw iie the coun-
try.

000 cases. Packers say the pack is com-
plete. Although they point oat that

LIVE STOCK. •
(Farmers' Advocate.)
Sheep for show should be frequently
handled, taught to poise, and. so accus-
tomed to the shepherd as to understand
and not fear rum.
Cabbage and turnips ere two splendid
crops to plan to have on hand for the
show season. They are much relished
and very conveniently shipped. ,.
The feet of show sheep must be most
ea.refully watched to prevent them from
getting, long, then breaking too short,
causing the sheep to go lame.
Arrange to feed the show sheep and
lambs in troughs that do not cause a
rubbing of the wool from the face or
cheeks. Neither snould dirt be allowed
to get into the fleece on the neck or
back.
In Alberta, slieepmen are much elated
with their. prospects. They have had
a large lamp 'trap, and have been for-
tunate in losing but fewof them. The
lambs hire grown well, and. are now
practically heyoitd.the -most danger-
ous period of their
short career.
The more one travels, the more im-
pressed is he with value of; sheep
on the farm. The writer has been driv-
ing
riving for a week, giving aidin the combat
with weeds. Two thing made them-
selves evident in this warfare. These
are, a short rotation, accompanied by
thorough cultivation, and flocks of. sheep
These two features invariably 'narked
the thriftiest, most up-to-date care-
ful farmers. The plows and harrows
keep the weeds down in the cultivated
fields, the sheep destroy then' in the
pastures and by the fences in stubble
fields. And the men find both fea-
tures profitable.
How Farmers Can r^Practice Conser-
vation.
Canada, being a nation of farmers,
has to pay a very large seed bill each
.year. Last year• our crops called for
33,000,000 busb.els of seed grain—wheat,
oats and barley—and we are constantly
increasing cur agricultural acreage. This
being so, the economy of sowing good,
clean seed is at once apparent. The ad-
vantages to be derived• from it are lilr8
the proceeds of a sum of money Iaid out
at compound interest—they are ouniu-
lative in their effect and grow in ever-
increasing ratio. Some years ago a
competition was carried on in some 45
places in Canada to see just 'what the
actual results of using Olean, pure seed
would be. If we reason from the results
obtained from it, we find that 'our grain
yield last year would have been increas-
ed by 190,000,000 bushels had clean, vig-
orous seed been sowed 'on every acre
under oultivation. - Now, 190,000,000
bushels of grain you'd fill 1;4000 miles`
of railway grain cars. It is such a. Targe
amount that it is hard for the wind to
comprehend, but, at any rate, it goes to
show that it would pay our farmers tee
be partieular about the, kind of seed
they sow.
Wonders of Alfalfa.'
Alfalfa has found a way into :the doe:
tor's office as a curative agent, br,.Mar-
ian N. Clark, of Los Angeles, Maims that
there are remarkable curative qualities
in the grass and its blossom. She tells
of, success in prescribing alfalfa juice
for the nerves,andclaimsthat itis one;
of the wonders for waking people up out
of lethargy and making them feel like
working harder.
Mao that a few tablets of alfalfa will ,
cure men of the smoking habit and take
them out of the jimjams and into sound
reason and good bodily health in a re-
markahly short time. She uses the'
grass reduced to small bulk, though in,
sonic eases she admits that men are so
foolish about their habits that she might
'make a 'mistake and prescribe the el:.,
falfa in the hay form, as though itere
