More Bouquets to Jim We are in receipt of a copy of last week's Wingham Advance containing an interesting writeup of the industries of the town, the homes, municipal utilities and other points of interest. The whole is profusely illustrated and takes up over thirty long columns The writeup is the work of an old Brampton man, Mr. James W. Beattie, litho has done quite a lot of this sort of work in his day, and his latest effort shows that he has not lost the art of writing that which pleases people. Mr. Beattie and the publisher of the ! Advance are to be congratulated on a I most creditable production.— Brampton Banner and Times.

Hints on Harvesting moot Crops. Root crops should be taken up be- fore the weather becomes too wet and disagreeable in the fall if in any quantity, It Is slow work at any time and becomes much more so un- der cold damp conditions. Lift. the roots with a digging fork and twist off the tops, putting them in piles and covering with the tops. If a large area is to be lifted, and one is expert with a sharp hoe, he can very quickly remove the tops, but they will not keep quite as well. The roots should be ploughed out, throw- ing them as much as possible on the top, Bins with slatted sides and 1,r1tout should be used for storage where possible, as , this gives the roots a chance to sweat. If the•stor- ctge roost temperature is above 40F. cover them with sand. Carrots should not be deeper than two feet in a bin, others may be four feet. Where eel ler storage is not available use nits. Thos- should be three feet wide,. twa or three feet high and of any length. Mitis the pits north and south where possible, and have them on welI- rlrained ground. Put a layer of straw on the ground and cover first with sitraw 6 inches deep then 6 inches earth, and as the frost gets harder cover with fresh strawy manure. Have ventilators every 15 or 20 feet, alI roots sweat in storage. These may be tilled with straw during cold periods. All roots should be as free from dirt as possible when put in storage. It is often advisable to leave a few ,lays in small piles so that at the r:ond lifting any adhering will be 'moved.—A. H. MacLennan, 13.S.A., Ontario Vegetable Specialist. Cereal Gi (ins for Bread-tnakiug. On this continent and in Europe we use wheat in much larger quan- tities than any other grain, This is because the Hour made from wheat contains the constituents necessary to form gluten. Rye contains a simi- lar substance to a lesser extent, white tiiu (tiler grains do not have any of is material, Gluten is a tough, .Mastic, tenacious substance, capable of considerable expansion. Conse- quently, when the gas liberated through the action of yeast seeks to make its way out of wheat 'flour dough. the gluten expands, retaining the gas and causes the dough to. rise. When the bread is baked the gluten is "set" or coagulated, and this ac- counts for the light porous structure of wheat bread. When surrounded by a proper crust the moisture is re- ' rained and the bread may be kept lot, several days and still be an at- tractive article or food. Rice, oats, - corn and barley ca:toot '•e used alone . to prepare bread of this type. They cannot bo expanded by gleans of yeast for their is no cohesion in the mass, They may be used in making biscuits and cakes or quick breads, whielt breaks easily, dries out read- ily, cannot be safely transported, and ' must be consumed within a few Lours after being prepared. On the other hand, there is com- paratively little difference in the composition of the various cereal grains and, consequently, one will as )� digestible furnish about mut di nu- - - trients as another. if, then, in a time of wheat shortage like the present, we substitute some of the flour of - corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, etc., for wheat flour in making bread, we do not decrease its nutritive value. We do dilute the gluten and thus limit the power of expansion of the dough and we make the bread da rk - oribut we haveretained the d sit -abe features of bread, Silkiness of texture and whitenrsa of crumb were Counted points Of excellence in the bread of the old High patent flour, - but under the preeent conditions of longer extraction use tlta wheat gran; Mid_ the ilttroJtieti0l1 of subetitutcs, - it is wrong for the eon:miner 10 place a high valuation on th,, ;mints,--•• Prof, It.

Halifax, N. 5., Aug. 4th, 1'J18. Dear folks. - This is the fourth anniversary of the date Britain declared war on Ger- many. This has been a very interesting day for me, and also one which Ilas caused me to think of nny past life, and of my dear ones at home. We Ieft .Halifax at 1,30. We are now on the deep ocean en route for Tngland, and thence to do our bit for king and country, After leaving Halifax, it seemed no time till we had left dear old Canada far in the distance, We can see nothing now but vessels and water. There are some twenty ships in the con- voy, so you will see we are not alone. Ours was the first ship to start out, but the others followed in turn. The rear ship was some distance behind us, but we ran on slow "speed to enable them to come up. To night we are together, and it seems nice This. is Sunday, and we had a very interesting grid helpful service this morn- ing at ten o'clock. The boys all seem to take an, inteest in the service, and cer- tainly take their thoughts back home We had a splendid song service, and one of our chaplains gave us a very appropri- ate address. Then this evening we had another meeting, just as good as this fore- noon, Our captain certainly feels for the welfare of the boys, especially in our lives. He spoke to us in a way that we could not get away from the truth. He asked for all of us who would promise to write a line or two home every day on our way over to hold up our hands. t, along with many others, decided to do so, and I will try to keep my promise. 'Then again, he pleaded for us to make a' decision to lead the good life to the best. of our ability. I also signed one of these which I will forward to you in this letter.

LTE(OUGH, as is well known, a ' at that time the War Eagle—Centre 'fined, and then to satisfy our own Te. world-wide attention was first directed to British Columbia by reason of the discoveries in the late "fifties" and early "sixties" of alluvial gold in the Fraser rivet and in the streams of the Cariboo dis- trict—and is- trict and for many years a rich ban vest was reaped from these sources— mining as att important basic indus- try of the Province ---and it is now by far the most important industry in British Columbia—was not, fairly launched until nearly forty-five years later; and the building of the Trail smelter in 1896 by that brilliant young American financier and copper king, F. Auguste Heinze, not only made Rossland, whose mitres have since produced .gold, silver and cop- per to the value of $70,008,000 in round figures, but had the effect of enormously stimulating mineral de- velopment •and the investment of capital in mining in other sections of the province. But Heinze was essen- tiaily a business man, and in estab- lishing his , smeltery was certainly not actuated by phtlanthropic or elemosynary motives. It was no part of his plan to operate the smelter for the profit of anyone but himself. Hence although he received a land grant from the Provincial Govern- ment as a consideration for the con- struction of the smelter and of a narrow,guage railway to afford eon• nation between the works at Trail and the mitres at Rossland, and also obtained an assuranee from the Do- minion Government of a bonus of a dollar on each ton of ore treated, he also took care that the rate imposed on the treatment of eustoms' ores should be a tolerably stiff one, In fact ere long, as the development of the mines progressed and it became necessary to market ore 6f a lower average, the margin o. pro tit to the inners after paying treat Star group of mines at Rossland, the quirements for these metals in Apish.
