DISTR. ICT MATTERS.
Meeting of South Huron Farrn-
, eraInstitute. ,
(Written for The Expositor.)
AT EXETER.
The morning of Friday, January
15, wan anything but reassuring, but
about noon tbe clouds cleared off
and we were favored with a bright,
sunny afternoon. Although the roads
were very heavy, the farmers came
trooping in until the town hall was
oomfortably filled. Mr, W. S. Fraser
or Bradford, who is a veteran farm -
and Institute worker and is con-
sequently at home in the work, in
his address' urged the farmers to
grow more cloven and less timothy.
•While clover enriches the soil by ,
gathering nitrogeu from the air and
_Storing it in the roots and crop ;
1 he 'added fertility of a crop of clov-
er is equal to that of 15 loads of
barnyard manure, while timothy de-
pletes the soil of the most costly as
well as die most necessary plant
emeinle compared the different var-
ietiee of clover as improvers of the
fertility of the soil, putting Alfalfa
at tbe top. Its feeding and manur-
ial value being equal to that of bran
and spoke of the difficulty of secur-
ing a stand of Alfalfa intsome see-
d
l ions of the United States. In Cada-
ada, on well prepared I nds little
diftieulty was experienced. Every
good farmer should have a plot of
Alfalfa near ehe -barn for soiling
should dry weather burn up the pas-
tures. With reference to the hand-
ling a 'clover crop Mr. Fraser said
cut wben oneoeigl th to one-quarter
f
of t he blossonts re 'turning brown
4ind :dways after the dew has rinen.
Inn the tedder ana coil up the same
afternoon. Let itj stand so for two
or three dayS, then turn out and
draw. Ile advised the farmers to go
;illy of the hew method -of hauling in
the green clover the same day as
out. If every dendition is favorable
°Lover can be 'so treated, but the
chances are against the practice. He
urged the farmers to be more -care-
ful in the matter of seed. He in-
stanced cases where, for the sake of
saving -a few cents, farmers have
bought seed testing only 50 per cerm-
et' vital or germinating seed and con-
taining as MO as 40,000 weed seeds
per pound, whose vitality was un-
doubted, In this way Many et farm-,
or buys very dear- seed indeed.
! Mrs. Colin Campdell addressed the
me ing, of whom a score were la -
4k. on the benefits t� be derived
nom Women's ' Institutes and the
great- present noiessity of lessening
the drudgery of the domestic side
ot the partnership by providing
houses of the most improved pattern
with all the labor saving designs
and machines, by meeting together
and imparting to each other the best
met hods of securing the best results.

ing up the soil in a hi h state of

from the standpoint . of the Grand

plaints in regardto unsatisfacto y
service on lines in Ontario.
Thanks to the great Prosperity Of

When it is remernbered that tieese
main lines are the chief arteriee or
citatinitle 'tnrough ulna all of' the
trafficof the railway Must be mov-
ed, each one of the branches eontrib-
uting its proportion thereto, it will
at once be conceded that it is but
proper that this portion of the line
should first be put in condition to
handle -heavy traffic; oe it will soon
becentin .elogged, and the sit:until:in on
thedbra.nehes be even worse than
that cornplanned of. Tnose of your
readers who have been over tnose
portions of the lines on which
betivy work has . been in progress
will- have 'noted that it has in many
eases involved the 4 isturbing, of
miles of existing trttcnnhereby ne-
cessitating slow. time lin trains, With
accompaning result .of delay in ar-
rival at- terminals. Thi! has had the
same effect on the braech line train
service as the proverbial rem of

over, all. the .balance axe affected
in -the same way, Delay to anneene
of our through trains' necessatily ad-
versely affeets the eonnecting trains

When to this condition ot affairs is
added tbe inexperience of the great
number of new tnnployees madeenec-
essary by increased traffic, intensi-
fied bya period of more than .us-
ually strere weather, the situation
becomes. more aggravated, and it is
not unnatural 1 hat unsatisfactory

the . situation is no worse on the
Grand Trunk' Railway lines • than on
other railways in Canada, but if this
sheuld be the case it is readily an-
swered by thc very mucb greater
tonnage handled by the Grand Trunk
Railway and the greater number of
trains run in Ontario than Upon any
other system. T feel quite sure that
the publicwill recognize that tbe
officials and. employees of. the com-
pany are devoting their entire time
exclusively to the buminess of the
railway- coMpany, and they are ac-
tuated by no other• desire than that
of giving the best service possible -

In the town of Petrolia there are many
people who have a good word to say for
Dr. Pitcher's BackaChe-Kidney Tablets as
being the best remedy for backache, kid-
ney, bladder and urinary trounles.
Mr. -G. F. Stone, whets spoken to a short
time ago, related his experience as follows:
"1 had been having so much lameness
in the small of my back, constant dull
aching over my kidneys, that 1 was de-
pressed and unfit for anything. It did not
pas:offas formerly, but began to affect
my kidneys ; the bladder was also Affect-
ed; causing frequent inclinations to ,urin-
ate. After, I began using Dr. Pitcher's
Backache-KidneyTabletsall those troubles
disappeared. I have hadmo remedy that
acted so promptly before. They caused

liner the statement sometimes appears
that ehe came "by the southern route"
to avoid lee or that she made her first
trip of the season "by the northern
lane." To the ordinary reader the idea
Of lanes or pathways on what we have
hien taught to tiiink of as "the track-
lesi sea" seems somewhat paradoxical,
but f pit colasuli"th#4.ebarts in the of-
of,a manager or in tile
prnitedigtates hydrographic office instead
of the ditinary map you will lind that
there are four "ivell liefined highways
acres'the north Atlentle as clearly
marked' to the navigator's perception
its is a time worn, turnpike on land to
the eyes Of the pedestrian.
It is over thew great ocean thorough-
fares that the Atlantic filers, with their
tens of thousands of passengers and
their hundreds of thousands of tons of
freight, pass on their voyages between
America and Europe. They are closely
adhered to by all fast steam vessels
and just as carefully avoided by sail-
ing ships and by the fishermen .wbo ply
their trade off the Grand banks. The
situation df a small craft on the linent'
route would be comparable to that of
a man driving a Ilgbt runabout aloea
railway track cleared for the feet lim-
ited, for these main traveled lines have
been set aside by custom and Agree-
ment for the Atlantic's lightning ex-
presses. Nobody is delayed at sidings
or confined to special tracks, however,
for the rest of the ocean is left to the
ordinary mariner. ;
It is only a few years since the tracke
upon which the great liners shall run
have been so clearly defined. Ever Sine°
the commerce of tbe north Atlantic ase
sumed important proportions sailing
masters have followed in a general
way the great circle that curves north-
ward from the west coast of England
and Ireland until it reaches about 46
degrees north latitude in midocean,
then bears soUtheyestevetrd past the
coast of Newfoundland and Cape Race.
Earfer experience proved that this was
the shortest and so, of course, the
quickest route between Europe and
such porn.; as Boston, New York and
Philadelpbla.
While steam navigators kept fairly
near this course it was natural
enough that they should vary from it
motnewhat according to the theories of
individual" captains. With the multipli-
cation of steemigaips and the rapid in-
crease in speed tho otery, fact that all
the larger and swifter vessels kept te
one particular' part of the ocean greatly
increase/ -the danger of collision be-
tween them. When forty or nrty swift
steamers were crossing the Atlantic at
the same time in one direction or the
other, all keeping to the same general
cdierse irregpective of the direction in
whfcb 'they were trateling„ it was ob-
vio'us that the possibility or two of
them coming together in thick weather
Was too great to be contemplated pleas-
antly.
SO Lieutenant Maury ef the United
States naey made tbe suggestion that
all fast steamithipe nhenlil 'traverse cete
tain fiXed routes, which be indicated -
paths following the great circle pretty
closely, for it- was natural that the
steamship eompanies would not agree
to the edoP-Von Of any route that in-
vetied La Io'of time in making the
oceah pifreage.
Tie Meet -Wiper-tont provision Bug-
gelJed b1 Ifeutenant l'ilaury was that
vessels, ping in !Opposite' directions
ehould ehserve the rules of the road by
passing' one' anotheee- onthe port side.
To carry out this plan he proposed that
west bound vessels should, keep about
one degree te the northriard of those
east bound. This the greatest danger
from the following "of indiscriminate
routes -that of collielon between fast
ships -would be avoided. While it is
desire -hie in point of time for ships to
steer their course far to the north, the
presence of ice and fog in the high lat-
itudes makes It Impracticable for them
to do so during fully half the year. Ac-
cordiagly, Lieutenant Maury. provided
for two greet" htiliways, one for vin-
tner, the-othee for winter, ono atidui
three degrees to the northward of the
other and each with west bound and
ea st • bound tractor.
The rivalry between the different
lime was so 'great at Viet time that
each hesitated to give uncouditional
adliereuce to the plan, fearing that
some other would gain an advantage.
Two prominent stearaehip managers,
110'WeVer, quickly appreciated the ad-
vantages of Lieuteriant Maury's plan
and Independently of their competitors
gave inetructioes to their captains to
follow -the lines laid down by, him.
These two men were Clement A. Grii-
com, then the head of the American
line. and Thomas 11. Ismay, director of
the White Star line. AS these two lines
then owned the fastest and most per-
fect ships on the Atlantic, the influence
of their example was v:ery powerful.
There is no doubt that the adoption
of these lanes has beep of the utmost
hnportance in increasing tbe eafety of
ocean travel and possesses distinct ad-
vantages aside from eliminating the
possibility of head on collisions be-
tween the liners. Extra precautions
are taken to keep the great, higireirty
clear of derellets and other floating
dangers or to give warning ef their
presence.
Knee the masters of sailing vessels
know the steamer routes, they consult
their own safety by av,oldIng them and
hy kciping a sharp loo. kont whenever
It is necessary to crose them in :either
direction. New York Mail and El-
