Just now a problem of great commeroial importance to the whole oeuntry, ii - being worked out by the scientiate of the model farm, and Mr Wolverton, the manager of the binder twine fe.etory at Brandon, Mani- toba. Lett year this feartory Supplied two hundred and fifty theueand pounds of twine for the western harvest, and now the output is 6,000 pounds eat*, ten hour day. The -problem which is being attacked is the utilizetion of the tremendous quantities of • flax etnew grown and burned every year by the farmers or Manitoba and the Territories. Flax has been cultivated for the need only, • and last year there was weat of Winnipeg over forty thousand aores in crop. Now .flax straw makes binder twine, and Canadian farmer a pay one and a half million dollars • yearly for the cord which ties the wheat • sheaves. Moat of that atun goes to the - Philippines to pay for manilla, and to Mex- ico, in exehange for sisal, and there are in. • dications that an American firm Is corner- ing both commolitiee. EXPERIMENTS IN PROGRESS. The first step in the direction of provid- - ing a home-made artiele ie to cultivate the -.Ilex for the draw as well as for the seed,and this is being accomplished by those seeding, by which means a long stem en the flax plant is sec:ured. At the experimental farm by doubling the quantity of seed sown a eatisfactory etraight stem, free from • branches, has been secured, although the yield of seed has not been proportionately as . great. The next step is the improvement of machinery for treating the flax straw. • Just as the aid flail had to disappear before the modern thresher to make wheat-raleing profitable in the west, so the " bowler ' - in use in Ontario in flax -threshing must be improved upon to produce flax fibre for binder twine in oommeroial quataitiees. The • machinery for extracting the fibre from the straw has already been built on a small scale for experimental purposes, and twine • of the bestclass, poasessing the requisite •iqtrantities of strength, evenness and length has been made. The prantibility of the maohinery for producing twine in remark- able quantities has, however, yet to be proven. Mr. Wolverton has nought infor- mation in Great Britain and the flax produc- ing countries of Europe on the eubject, and next year intends to have sowe flax from Russia, the source of the seed from which the best European proiuot is obtained. The experiment means much to the west. If the -farmers can grow the raw material for bin- - der twine, at least half a million dollars will be added to the value of the flax crops, with -- little increase in the cost of cultivation. • To Cure a Cold in One Day.

He was talking about bald heeds. " Hair may disappear altogether after a while," he • said, " and in that event berbera will have less to_do than they have now. It will force •'the barbers out of business. From the _way I look at it men are laraely responsible for being bald headed. They do not take proper care of their head oovering. Long hair is one of the worst things in the world. No man oan keep his scalp thoroughly clean • and'wear long hair. If the scalp is' _nob kept clean the hair will become unhealthy. It will finally die. Besides, it requires more nourishment for a long hair than it does for a short )e. "Men starve their hair to death. Hairs must be fed. and nourished like any 'other part of the human system. There is a quantity of oil in a little bulb at the root of eseh hair, and it is upon this substance that the hair feeds. The oil oozes out into the opening in the hair. I suppose the heat of the body forces this oily substance up -through the hollow of the hair, very much like the heat of the atmosphere forces the laid up in a thermometer. At any rate, it ale forced up and often oozes out the end of *the hair. Barbera have resorted to singing • . order to keep thia oil in the hair. Singe- • ing the hair closes the hollow, seals it, and •the oil is absorbed by the hair. If the hair • is allowed to grow to anygresat length there knot enough oil to properly feed it. It becomes dry and finally dies.: It cracks •'pen the split.in two separate parts. This 'proem continues until a man becomes bald, often prematurely, and he .never knows •just how ib all happens. "There is arother thing to .be consider- ed in this connection. The tension of life -o _fa high now, and men are more feverish • than they used to be. This condition has a • serious effect on a .man's hair, tending • to deaden it, and it falls out. Between these frelluencee, and others which might be • .

Nearly every rummer we hear I the same old story of midsummer droughts ,and con- sequently scanty pastures. Many of our best farmers have learn.ed to guard against loss by having a supply of surroulent feed to fall back upon in case the patiture fails. A small silo, filled especially for summer use, will go -a long way to meet the idiffieulty and a partial system of soiling has also found favor among progressiye Stockmen. The Live Stock 0ommissioner4 Mr, F. aW. Hodson, has frequently drawn' aittentien to the advisability of growing some green crops for stunmer -feeding, -.and has recom- meaded a number of suoh crops as suitable forigeneral growth, but only - pereonal ex- .perience will enable a farmer to select the varieties of fodder plants best suited to hie requirements.
