The Toronto World says•:—There
never has been such a mining country
in the world an in the Temiskaming
country, now controlled by the peo-'
ple's railway, and the people will cer-
tainly justify the government if they
build to Gov Ganda this year ; a
vigorous policy on the part of the gov-
ernment will put the rails into Gow
Ganda before New Year's Day. It is
almost as easy to build fifty miles in
forty weeks as it is to build it in four
hundred. It is simply a matter of the
amount of energy, Our advice is not
to wait until the middle of August to
announce the government policy, but
to start the toad to -morrow. Gow
Ganda is as rich in silver values as
Cobalt, from all The World can gath-
er, and extraordinary information has
been obtained within the past few
days, and there is more in that coun-
try than silver.
Is Your Chest "Wheezy ?"
Tightness and wheezing means your
trouble is deep.seated. To delay is
dangerous. Inflanmmation must be
drawn out at once. Rub the throat
and chest, with Nerviline, and put on a
Nerviline Porous Piaster. Relief
comes in an hour, The counterirritant
effect of the plaster relieves the tight-
ness and strain, draws out soreness,
eases the pain. The penetrating quali-
ties of Nerviline enable it to soak to
the very core of the trouble and you
experience a feeling of warmth and
relief that proves the danger is past,
rot weak chest, sore throat and ten-
dency to colds the Nerviline treatment
beats all others, try it.

A 'woman who owns and manages
large orchards in the central part a!

information which will be of interest
to all states where fruit Is raised, She
says,
"Within the -"last two months I've

women are thinking of investing in
farms or small country plates 'where
there are already what they term old;

to fled out if they can ever make

"According to my experience, an
apple tree In this climate hies to be
pretty far gone to be ready for the az-
1 mean, of course, when It is a good
variety. The trouble with the apple
trees which we see on these old places
is that they need care and attention.
"They have been ^allowed to stand
year after year with their roots cov-
ered by sod. They are actually dying
of thirst And starvation. If one will

"'Tie first thing to do with such an
orchard Is to plow it up. If it bus

there will be many roots nsnr the sur-

trees by cutting these roots with the

"This plowing should be done early

several litres during the first season.
If the roots are so thick that you can-
not plow, then chop Up the sod with
a disk harrow. If the land is too
rough even for that, turn In hogs.
Drop a few grains of corn here and

"Trees in such neglected orchards

"If the tree has not been pruned for

"Now, pruning is something that
lhouid never the carelessly done. The
pruufngs should all be burned and the
ashes scattered about the roots of the
trees.
"After this severe pruning you will
set a big crop of water sprouts In the

After ibis first pruning it will be nec-
assary to prune a little every season.
"As n rule, there is enough plant

"I have found It impossible to raise
good fruit without »a spray pump. If

tion for its spraying bulletins. Don't
spray feebly, but do the job thor-
oughly.
"Trees may be Healthy and blossom
year after year and no fruit be form-
ed. This condition can be remedied
in two ways. One way is to graft
about every third tree In every third
row with a pollen bearing variety.
The ether and .sometimes the more
convenient is to replant certain rows
with pollen bearers. When setting out
new orchards 1 always plant every
fourth row with pollen bearers.
"Fortunately it is only in isolated
orchards of.lt single variety that such
conditions prevail. fruit growing

A Suggestion.
J. Lockie Wilson, superintendent of
agricultural and horticultural sooie-
tiee,,-is sending out to the directors of
agricultural and horticultural socie-
ties a suggestion for eompetilton to
interest the sons and daughters of
farmers between the ages of 12 and 18.
The character of the exhibit proposed
is a sheaf of wheat, oats, barley or
lye, eight inches in diameter, com-
posed of hand-picked stalks, showing
the full length of the straw. It is
suggested that five prizes be awarded,
the object being to ints.rest the young
in grain growing and in the work of
the agricultural societies.

which explained that individually, ase

the guilt of the prisoner, nevertheless,
having considered the caee in its legal

were compelled to say "not guilty."

PRESERVATION OF - FORESTS. •
The Oki Bay State is Now Taking the
Initiative.
The preservation of the forests is a
problem 8econd to none in present 1m.
portance and In ate outlook toward the
future. Without trees our country
would be desert, and the rapid den-
udation of our New England bills le
already beginning to have its effect
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our water supply, The invention of
wood pulp paper and the rapid exten-
sion of the industry throughout the
country, together with the increase of
newspaper circulation, have stimulated
the destruction of the forests to such
a degree that steps are Already being
taken to preserve them before it is too
late.
Congress has attempted ti) take a
hand in the matter, but so far with
little assail, and it now remains for the
individual states affected tosee what
they can do. Tho first step `would seem
to be the development of paper making
from some rapidly growing and an-
nually reappearing eubstince, such as
cornstalk fiber, instead of from the
slowly rising tree which cannot be re-
Plaeed except after years of renewal
and growth.
As was to be expected, Massachu-
setts is taking the initiative. To the
governors of the others five New Eng-
land states Governor Guild has sent
out a request for a conference, and 1t
will bo held at the Algonquin club
in Boston on the 14th of September.
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for.
este, and it is probable that arrange-
ments will be made for the calling of
a New England business conference at
some time immediately following the
presidential election. If it should be
held, says Governor Guild in his letter,
it should come et that time "In order
that its work might not be confused
with the politics of the presidential
campaign." One of the especial on
jects of this meeting of the governor

with his associates will be to devise
means whereby a greater uniformity
of action may be secured in the leg-
islation among the' several states in
the Union. But the `"greatest result
should be in the stimulus it will give
to public opinion and in its awakening
of us to the fact that the forests must
and shall be preserved.
The First Potatoes.
Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
introducing the potato in England,
lived at Brixton, England, near Eliza-
beth's Rouse. Formby, in Lancashire,
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by a Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation of the potato
In the British islands was probably at
Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland,
where this great navigator had an es-
tate.
It has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that• it was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condone both lent the weight
of...their authority to this view, but it
bas been ascertained that the Indians
of 'Virginia, though they' used a number
or'tuberous roots, did not know our po-
tato.
One of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botauists Apios
tuberose. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our potato, being a native of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of 'Virginia,
Yet the `potato was undoubtedly
introduced in England as part of the
cargo or one'ef Sir Richard Grenville's
slilpd And landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On tho
voyage home, however, It had etcoun-
tered and Captured a Spanish ship froth
Saute Domingo. The potatoes were a
part of the cargo of the latter vessel.

Is the theme we bring to your notice at this time. Some wise man
has said—"My son, get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under-
standing." The wise man to -day says—"Get a New Snit or Over-
coat, and when you are getting, get it made to your order, in your
own town. where you know what you are. getting, and that it is
genuine Tailor-made." That would be wisdom; that would be un-
derstanding. Our NEW SPRING GOODS have arrived, and it is
not exaggerating to say that they inolude the nicest lines we have
had for some time, and at prices corresponding with the qualities
shown. Space wild not allow us to go into detaiis,ebnt
