Ifs the autumn of 18OO etgae silo, 12 feetbF 26 feet was�eree. d at the Dominion lbcperialent .- meted at Beaverlodge, Alber , some four hundred and twenty-eight miles north of the international _boundary. It was filled the first season with sun- flowers, oats and barley, the sun- flower and cereal crop being, for the most part, put in load about. As the silo was surrounded by no building and -the silage was to be fed outdoors in a climate where the mercury had been known to fall 52 degrees below zero, it was deemed advisable to ob- serve a few precautions (1) Straw was piled around the silo to half or two-thirds its height. ,This seemed to help a little though it also retarded thawing during bright, warm weather. 2) At the bottom of the feed chute a well insulated feed -chest was con- structed and into this a daily supply of silage would be thrown. On very cold days when considerable frozen material came dawn, a lidded pail or two of hot water was set in and the feed' chest closed. This thawed out some chunks near the pails. (3) Most valuable of all was a board cover lying fiatontop of the silage in the silo. Hinged in the centre and covered with tar paper cleated down, this cover extended to within ten or twelve inches of the wall all around. A. four foot leg at- tached to one side protected the hinges when either side was lifted and laid back. A day's supply of silage was thrown out from each side turn about, thus keeping the top practic- ally level so that the board cover lay fairly snug at all times. The silage never froze more than a foot in from the wail and there was very little freezing at all beneath the cover, especially where it lay close. Much of the warmth produced by the slow fermentation in the silo was conserved by the cover. In the mild winter of 1920-21 not a pound of silage was lost from freezing, the half-ton•or so of chunks from around the walls that acctymulated on two or three -occasions being thawed out and fed during the ensuing chinook periods. f In the winterof 1921 the board cover was again employed but thick- ened with an extra ply of lumber, which extended to within three or four inches of the silo wall. To fa- cilitate lifting, a rope attached to a ring on each side was passed through a pulley slung from the roof of the silo. The extra lumber made the cover too heavy for the hinges, which gave way after a few weeks, while the double thickness proved also, too heavy for one man to raise easily. The material ensiled the second season consisted of oats and sun- flowers mixed at filling and the larg- er percentage of the latter, together with a somewhat longer period of cold weather in the late winter. Not only does sunflower silage pack more closely and freeze more readily than silage made from oats or barley, hut it freezes together in hard chunks, while frosted grain silage may he knocked to pieces or even forked a- part. As the experimental feeding last winter required but a small amount of silage per day, there was consid- erably more trouble from freezing than in the preceding season, though even so it never seemed to congeal more than a foot and a half in from the silo wall and practically no feed was finally lost through freezing. It is expected that the simple cover adopted the first winter, with the ad- dition of the rope and pulley to lift it, will meet the situation in mos'. cases. If anything more is needed it is suggested that a foot of chaff be put on top of the cover during ex- treme weather, the chaff to be shift- ed to one side or the other from day to clay when feed is being thrown down. The combination of chaff and board cover js probably niece effec- tive and convenient than either alone. The cover described, of course, is not to take the place of a roof. "TREASURE TROVE" IN SCOTLAND Work has been actively proceeding in the Tobermory bay, in Argyleshire, Scotland, in the salvagin of a big Spanish galleon which is thought to have been an ancient treasure ship, the Almerante deFlorencia, which af- ter the defeat of the Spanish Arm- ada, ran into this bay but before the vessel was captured, an explosion took place which sunk her in 60 feet of water and caused the death of all of the crew of 365 men except two. It is supposed that she carried gold specie equivalent to $1,500,000. Al- though 30 feet of clay and silt cover- ed the hulk it was located and is now being raised piece meal and with great care for fear that some of -the valuable material may be lost but up to the present time nothing of any great value has been recovered. The most approved machinery is being utilized for the purpose an6 the plan being followed is that of cutting timbers with a saw and bringing the parts to the surface. It is expected to reach some chests which the gold was stored in. About forty men are employed on the work. By virture of an old law the Duke of Argyle has a claim on the treasure and he has representatives on the spot who make an examination of everything that comes to the surface, STORY OF THE ROCKS Is the world's supply of coal run- ning short? The rising price of coal the past two years has raised this question in many minds. The. an- swer is emphatically no. The chaotic condition of European finances and industry has given the American op- erators and workmen the chance to boost prices and wages without fear of effective competition from across the waters. This condition is but temporary. The arrival of European or Asiatic coal will have the same effect of coal prices that the arrival "Print-a=tlr Cleared Her. Skin POINTE ST.

The Canadian fields of the Western plains are equally important, though the coals there are of more recent geologi- cal age, and are often but lignitic in quality. Still the tonnage is enorm- ous and the quality towards the Rocky foothills is good, and will {urnish Canada with all her needs as seen as the - transportation problems can be established. One of Canada's great problems is then to organize her re- sources and become independent of the United States. The Canadian coals are not deeply buried as in, Silesia, so that the mining problems are not serious.

A brief survey of the coal fields of the world at this time should be in- teresting. There is no continent but is abundantly supplied with coal, either hard or soft. Africa has the least, but then Africa, needs but little with its tropical climate. Fortunate- ly its best supply is at the extreme south, where it is most needed. England early took the lead in coal mining and production, not because of her vast resources, but because her coals were easily mined and were near centers of population, or else the seaboard. In fact England has less coal than either France or Germany or Russia, but it is much more easily mined. A great deal of the German deposits are deeply buried and difficult to mine. England is the only produc- er where the, supply may be near ex- haustion. This has been variously estimated at from 200 to 500 years at present rate of consumption. At one time Ireland could boast of more Icoal than England and Wales com- bined, but that was long, long ago. 1 In Tertiary times denudation striped her of all her supplies till only a mere shadow remains. This loss oc- curred in the age of the dominance of the archaic mammals. This refers not to the Jorefathers of the present Hiperniaris but to a much queerer race of animals, whose remains may still be found on the Emerald Isle. The persistent burning of peat by the present race may prevent nature restoring to- Ireland a new supply of coal. • At present, the greatest European deposits are in Central France, in Belgium, in Silesia and in Russia. The widest seam of coal in Wales is but eight feet in thickness, while in Cen- tral France there are single seams as wide as 40 feet. In Silesia the com- bined thickness of all the seams in the coal meatllrres exceed 330 feet. The Russian fields have scarcely been touched as yet. They: skirt the Ural Mountains for upwards of a thousand miles, and will suffice Russia's needs for generations and generations. When England's supplies have been exhausted it is thought that the,coal barges will sail from Silesia down the Odor River. It will be a sore touch on England's pride when this happens. In 1893, when due to an extensive strike of the coal miners and not a ton had been raised for 11 weeks, it was rumored that an Amer- ican collier had reached England, there was general consternation in the public press. With the possible exception of China, America has the greatest coal fields. in the United States they ex- ceed 200,000 square miles. These di- vide into the eastern anthracite and the bituminous of the center and west. The folding of the Appalachi- an Mountains is responsible for the eastern anthracite. Once coal mea- sures extended almost continuously from near the Atlantic to the Missi- ssippi. But from all the anticlines of the Appalachians and from , the great Cincinnati uplift the coal mea- sures have been denuded. All that NOW DO MY WORK WITH EASE Because Lydia E.

Why don't'you give it a trial? i� A WOMAN'S RIGHT • TO GOOD HEALTH, It Can be Hers If She Keeps Her Blood in Good Condition. To every woman belongs the right to enjoy a healthy active life. Yet nine out of ten suffer, often in silence, from splitting headaches, torturing backaches or some other of the many evils that follow anaemia or blood- lessness. That is why one sees so many wo- men with pale, thin cheeks, dull eyes and dropping figure -all signs that the blood is out of order. These wo- men should win the right to be well by refreshing their bodies with the new, rich blood of health that so promptly transforms them into healthy, attractive women. There is no other medicine can sup- ply this rich, red blood so speedily and so surely as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Through this medicine thousands of tired, suffering women have found new health. For example, Mrs. F. Lane„ Paris, Ont., says: -"A few years ago I was in a badly run down condition. My appetite was poor, I fell off in weight, and could with dif- ficulty do my housework. Nothing I took seemed to do me any good until a neighbor advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I had only taken a few boxes of the pills when I began to feel stronger and I con- tinued using them until I had taken ten boxes, when I felt as well as ever I did, "and had regained my . lost weight. My husband and children have also used the pills with good re- sults, and I would advise anyone who is rundown to give them a fair trial."

In most cases it is not necessary nor advis- able to have the orchard in sod, par- ticularly when the trees are young. although it is highly important to have a cover crop, which also may sometimes become a harborfor mice. As mice may be expected in greater or less numbers every win- ter, young trees should be regularly protected against their ravages. Mice usually begin working on the ground under the snow, and when they come to a tree they will begin to gnaw it if it is not protected. A small mound of soil from eight to twelve inches in height raised about the base of the tree will often pre - I vent their injuring the tree and even snow tramped about the tree has been quite effective, but the cheap- est and surest practice is ,to wrap the tree with ordinary building pap- er, the price of which is merely nominal. Tar paper is also ef- fectual, but trees have been injured by using it, and it is well to guard against this when building paper will do as well. After the paper is wrapped around the tree and tied, a Rae earth should be put about the lower end to prevent the mice from beginning to work there, as if they get a start the paper will not stand in their way. It may be' stated however, that among several thous- and young trees which have been wrapped with building paper for years at the Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, there have been practically no instances where thenmice have gnaw- ed through the paper to get at the tree. The use of a wire protector, of'I one made of tin or galvanized ironis economical in the end, as they arc durable. There are a number of washes and poisons recommended for the pro- tection of fruit trees and the destruc- tino of the mice and rabbits, but none of these is, very satisfactory, as if the mice or rabbits are num- erous the poison has not sufficient - effect upon them to prevent injury altogether. The following method of poisoning has been' found fairly successful for mice, but rabbits are very difficult to deal with. Make a mixture of one part by weight of arsenic with three parts of corn meal. Nail two pieces of board each six feet long and six inches wide together so -as to make a trough. Invert this near the trees to be protected and place about a tablespoonful of the poison on a shingle and put it near the middle of the run, renewing the poison as often as is necessary.
