01' had noticed the specially vi ;e.o:ts
development of v; ild plants aroun
the edges of old shell holes and old
trendies which had suffered front
heavy firing. Iie attributed this vigor
of growth partly to the 11s,uration
of the soil and partly to its impreg-

utpret-nation with nitrogenous subjects.
This view was supported by seine
experiments trade several years ago
in the western part of the United
States, in which two-year-old cherry
trees planted in holes excavated by
dynamite reached the height1
t of three
metres (about 10 feet), while similar
specimens planted by a "spade re-
mained spindling And grew scarcely
halt as tall.
"M. Piedalln applied his ides, by
placing a suitable amount of ferti-
lizer in a container surrounding the
explosives, in nuch a way that the
force of the explosion would drive
the former into the minute cracks
produced, thus forming an ideal me-
dium for the growth of the young
tree. Tho formula of the explosive
is not given, but it is stated that it
is not affected either by ,,concussion
or dampness, is capable of being
moulded, is completely free from
chlorates (which might -injure vege-
tation), is Highly energetic in small
volumes, and cannot be detonated
except by a fulminating cap, The
fertilizers employed are chosen with
special reference to the character. of
the earth and the needs of the trees
to be planted,
"The compressed fertilizer, mould-
d arourttl. a nucleus of the explo--
^ive is placed in the bottom of a tube
rf cellnir id, paper or cardboard.
The cylinder of explosive, which con-
tains a cavity 'for the fulminating
charge, is then placed in the top of
the tube, the hole being closed by a
stopper pierced by a Bole through
which passes (fitting tightly) a piece
of Bickford ,cord eonneeted with the
cap. Both tire' explosive' charge and
the mass of fertilizer adjoining it are
covered with paraffin. The applica-
tion of the charge is very. simple and

A hole like one used for placing a
mine is bored With a pointed stick

uretcr than the cartridge. This hole
should be 60 centimetres deep (about

"Phe explosion produces a spher-
lodal cavity some 3Q: centimetres in
depth (about 30 inches). The earth
absorbs the vapors liberated and the
young tree is then placed in the hole
and its roots covered whit the earth."
M.t. J. G. Stewart who is visiting at
Calgary and other Western centres, sent
us the following clipping from a Calgary
paper.
"One would have almost thought St.
George's island was Huron county fora
few hours yesterday afternoon whenit
was beseiged by some 300 Huronites,
meeting for their annual picnic. It was a
real "get to-gether" time, when every
Huronite made friends with every other
Huronite and old friendships were renew-
ed. The gathering was alive with remin-
iscences of old times, while speeches,
games and plenty of good things to eat,
were the order of the -day. Mr. S. Y.
Taylor, president, presided, the speakers
being Rev. W. A. Smith, Capt. Robt
Pearson, R. J. Deacbman, Dr. Armstrong
and George Mason, the latter being a visi-
tor in the city from Wingham, Ontario.
It was a surprise to many to find so many
from the satire country in the city, and
the meeting proved that there is cnly one
place better than Huron County, and
that is Calgary. This society was organs
ized about three years ago, the officers
being S. Y. Taylor, president; Rev. W. A.
Smith, vice-president; D. M. McCaul,
secretary -treasurer. On account of the
war the reunion was not kept up but
the activities, planning for an annual
Huronite meet, have beet recommenced.
The officers elected yesterday for the
present year were: Rev. W. A. Smith,
president; Capt, Robert Pearson, vice-
president: David McCaul, secretary-treas-
ui er,
Charlie Bowman To Retire
Mr. C. M. Bowman, M. P, P., chief
Liberal whip in the Ontario Legislature
and member in the local House for West
Bruce, has confirmed the rumor which
has been circulated recently, that he is
about to retire from public life.
When asked to -day if it were true, Mr.
Bowman said "Yes, it is correct. t think
that the 21 years which I have spent in
public life in this province, is about
enough for Me.

Sift Soil of Battlefields.
Much of the metal shells and de-
bris will be removed from the Euro-
pean battlefields as. a necessary pre-
liminary to the resumption of peace-
ful pursuits. The quantity -of metal
is so great that it would •be a source
of annoyance, 'and even of danger,
to the tiller of the soil. A systematic
sweeping, so to speak, of all the bom-
barded regions will be necessary,
A French engineering journal de-
scribes an apparatus which, though
created for this special purpose, can
be applied to other uses, for it will
indicate the presence of steel and
iron not too deeply buried in the soil.
This, however, is a slow way to pro-
ceed where long continued bombard-
ment has literally filled the soil,,lvith
metallic fragments. Methods of sal-
vaging are contemplated that involve
passing the soil through' plants for
recovering the metal, and returning
the soil to its place leveled and ready
for tillage.
It is also pointed out that the con-
centration of fixed nitrogen in these
battlefield soils, resulting from the
enormous quantities of explosives
used, will make these areas excep-
tionally fertile.
A li;emaa'kable blight.
Information. regarding a remark-
able flight. of a German Zeppelin has
recently been reported by a British
correspondent who learned the facts
since the coming of peace. A German
airship, it is said, left Bulgaria carry-
ing a crew of twenty-two men, tons
of munitions, and medical supplies,
bound • for ' German East Africa,
which is approximately 3,000 miles
from Bulgaria. According to the ac-
count, while the ship was flying over
Khartoum, it received a wireless mess
sage ordering ,it to return, the Ger-
mans having learned that the major-
ity of their troops in their African.
isrritory had surrendered,—Popular

TRIP TO THE WEST
WINNIPEG
Dear Editor.
If the weary wanderer in Winnipeg
takes a skirmish around the wholesale
section, he will butt up against a building
which looks like u Vire hall or Factory, but
dear one it is neither, but a church, Grace
Methodist Church, quite a crowd blew in
on Sunday eve nearly filling the spacious
edifice. Which would hold, I should think
between 12 and 15 hundred, This church
dates from Q8 and came into existence a
little later than the writer, So it is grey
headed now and ready for superanuation.
Yet it is a pretty fine concern and not to
be sneezed at, why it has cushioned pews
and a fellow gets a fine soft seat such as
not provided in the average church, the
accommodation is good so I advise the
pilgrim to tarry here for refeshment.
They have a good organ and choir, The
female element are nun like, with a white
dofunny dangling from the throat, which
is very impressive indeed, ^ I'he gentle-
man looked very respectable, having each
a white collar and tie. My musical ed-
ucation was sadly neglected in youth, as
I did not cultivate thr love for tremulo
and minor key and could not therefore
appreciate the classical solos as rendered,
It is a sad thing to be dense. The church
in some of its appointments savors of the
little churches on the back concessions in
the fact of having a stove in .each corner
with pipes running up through the gal-
lery, with a drum attachment (not the
Army kind) for spreading heat when the
preacher is cold, The speaker a Dr,.
Smyth, an Irishman, and Irishmen know
how to talk, taking his discourse from
Luke 5 where the desciples went fishing, he.
said, same good things along that line and
declared the church should launch out in-
to the deep and not hang around the little
pools with pin hooks and not catch any-
thing. Mats it exactly, not much caught
these days, the people would sooner have
a car and lots of fun, let us eat and be
merry for to -morrow we die, which is the
modern idea of things, a grand opport-
unity for clinching the nail and . having
such a crowd, but it looked like a shingle
nail and a 15 cent tack hammer instead
of a railroad spike and sledge, I noticed.
also that. the Methodist persuasion itt
"Grace"• are a. very weak kneed people,
a disease whicn started in church a few
years* ago and became' very conta$eous.
While it liar spread from Wingham to
Vancouver and,the uttermost parts of the.
earth. I• took a waltz over to St. Boni-.
face and checked it up one'aisle and down.
the other'aud every man Jack of them
were on their knees in humbleness before
God. We -were not advised in grace to ac-
cept
ccept salvation, °this appeared to be out of
fashion, so the end came and we were
played out.' • • •
Speaking about our people; met Mr,.
Munroe and' family who are nicely sit-
uated in Norwood District, he is at the
stock yard. Miss M. Stewart who
left Wingham,' years ago is now with Bat-
ton Co , Ed. Bradwin dropped down from
somewhere on the street to -day, looks
happy and well says he has a lot of
young fellows in tow, scattering them
around for camp teaching.
I think, this city' has about 275 thou
sand of mixed nationality, a very Cosmo-
politan city indeed the foreign element as
you have seen in the papers, kicking up
an awful dash, but' our laws are going
to settle the out fit and fire a lot of
them where,they belong.
I would particulerly mention Mr. Tom
Leslie, a Wingham boy, who is in the
government employ in decorating and
furnishing, the splendid pile of buildings
(of Kelly fame) known as the provincial
parliament home with an estimate cost of
eight millions. and with beautifying and
laying out of grounds and will likely cost
another million, fancy one ediface worth
the value of eight towns, the size of
Wingham. This structure is about N0
feet from end to end, built in form of the
letter I, the cross sections being same
length. The aforesaid gentleman kindly
shewing us around explaining in detail the
whole matter.
The tower and dome is to be about 280
feet high, which will be very imposing and
seen for many miles around. The old
Legislative Hall is close by and will be
taken down. When entering this old
place many thoughts arose about former
gladiators' who thundered forth here in.
the first parliaments of•Manitoba, such as
Greenway, a Huron old boy, a smart cap-
able man, Norquay, part. Indian, and
others down to Roblin who is now from.
the sublime to the ridiculous, running a
garage. Much could be written about
this beautiful city, the main curse is the
sin of gambling, pleasurs seeking and
many other evils causing' blight and de-
struction on every hand, God dishonored
in many ways, selfishness and greed tak-
ing the place of righteous and peace with
all her short comings and with regrets
we bid good bye to the beautiful city hop-
ing and praying that she will come out re-
fined through her awful chastening,
Geo. Mason
Delighted.
The examining officers at the pris-
:uwr pens talk German like natives,
but often the prisoners don't and that
:cads; to complications.
One inquisitor, who had just used his
:‘est German vocai)ulary on an nneotn-
l.rehending Il:nugarian, turned trim
over to a spsciai questioner and took
on five strangely -clad 'and s tint' whaI
bewildered prisoners who, after a great
deal of shouting and ttrtn waving, man-
aged to convey the fact that they were
neither Germans nor Austrians nor
ifuugarians nor Slovaks. They were
Italians ----five Italians taken prisoner

hind the German lines.
They were much pleased when it
slowly dawned on than what had hap-

MY OWN CANADIAN HOME
Tho' other skies may be as bright,
And other lands as fair;
Tho' charms of other climes invite,
My wanderkig footsteps there,
Yet there is one, the peer of all,
Beneath bright heaven's dome;
Of thee I sing, 0 happy land,
My own Canadian home.
Thy lakes and rivers, as "the voice,
Of many waters," raise
To Hint who plann'd their vast extent
A symphony of praise
Thy mountain peaks o'er look the clouds
They pierce the azure sky;
They bid thy sons be strong and true
To great achievements rise.
Did kindly heaven afford to me
The choice where I would dwell,
Fair Canada that choice should be,
The land 'I love so well
I love thy hills and valleys wide,
Thy waters' flash and foals;
May God let love o'er thee presd'e,
My own Cariaditaa Haft.
LET'S NUT POROET'
There's nothing to•good for -the man .who
fought
In, the hell of Flanders mud;
For he's the man who all forgot
:Bat the principles of God. -
He went to the fight with a heart so stout
And. a faith that Britons know;
His comrades sleep and their lovedones
weep
While the Flanders poppies grow, -
So come, ye folk, who did not fight
In the mud and water there:.
While the hero suffered and bled and died
We filled the morris chair.
Let's not forget what might have been
Had Germany won the show.
Let's not forget the boys who rest
Whilethe Flanders poppies grow.
Come rally rounci"and render thanks
Democracy is ours; . -
For God is in His Heaven still
Add we can pluck the flowers
That freedom offers to mankind
Ill this greet world below;
For many will not come back, but rest
• While the branders poppies grow.
For you their precious blood was shed,
And it was shed for me;
Shall we demand a place ahead
Of the Sons of Liberty?
Let us rejoice that we can fall
In line, and we can know
We'll sow and reap, 'cause baron sleep
While the Flanders poppies grow.
