Schools of Science for Grand Trunk
Shops.
The Grand Trunk has established
schools of mechanical and scientific
instruction to help those who wish to
learn how to do things the way they
must be done in order to pave the
way for better wages and higher posi-
tions -schools where its employees are
'taught anything they will undertake
to study in the branches of scien-
tific' and ordinary knowledge which
must be mastered by anyone who
wishes to get to the top in this de-
partment of railroading, Where are
employed in the case of the Grand
Trunk alone not less than eleven thou-
sand engineers, firemen, machinists,
etc., etc., every supervising position
among whom is filled by men promoted
from the ranks on merit.
At the head of the Grand Trunk is
Mr. Charles Al, Hays, who himself rose
from the ranks, being a clerk first, then
a private secretary, and thence upward,

The C. P. R, Teaches Telegraphy and

On the Canadian Pacific they have
schools for teaching stenography 'and

An Inc i? for \Vithut Cash
Until October, 19.05
There is big money to be made in raising chickens with an Incubator.
Canada exports annually millions of chickens to the United States and
Great Britain.
The consumption of poultry in Canada is increasing rapidly and the
poultry dealers complain that they cannot get enough poultry to fill their
orders.
One woman bought a No. 2 Chatham Incubator the first of March
-she had five hatches by July first and had four hundred plump,
sturdy chicks. In six months her Incubator had paid her $100.00, several
times its cost. A Chatham Incubator should pay for itself each hatch.
We have perfected an Incubator and brooder. We believe it is now
. absolutely the best in the world. We have sufficient capital behind us, and
we are out for the entire business in incubators. We know that there is no
other incubator that, can approach the
Inc'ubtor
This is our proposition : To demonstrate our absolute confidence in the Chatham Incubator
we will send one to you,.freight prepaid, and you make your first payment in October, 19o5.
The fact that we sell our Incubators in this manner guarantees them to the fullest extent,
Thirty days' trial' is a delusion and a snare. • If you. have good luck you may get off one hatch in
that time, and even then you are uncertain, and if you reject the machine you will have to pay the
freight both ways. But with us you send inyour order and we ship the machiee'prepaid. When
it arrives, if it seems all right, start your hatch, and we will give you until October, 19oe, before
you have to pay a cent in cash. We positively guarantee that the machine is a good hatcher.
Every machine should sell a dozen, and we will, on no account, allow a machine that is defective
to remain in any neighborhood.
WHAT SIX CHATHAM INCUBATOR USERS HAVE TO SAY:
The Incubator sent me is working
exceedingly well. It is very easily
operated, and so far has required attention
for only a few minutes per day. The
first lot of eggg, 110, on examination I
found that 63 wore not fertile, two others
were broken accidentally, and I had 61
chicks or about 00 per cent, of the fertile
eggs. The second trial of 110 gave me 03
living chickens. The brooder gives
equally good satisfaction. The young
broods are doing well. Yours truly,
J. E. JOHNSTON, Editor Leamington
Post, Leamington, Ont.
I hove used your No, 2 Incubator for
three hatches, and am so well pleased
with it that I ordered a No.3 which your
':gent Mr. Turnbull, brought today. My
t lard hatch cam,' off yesterday with 112
chicks out of 110 eggs. We have also a
Chatham Fanning Mill which gives good
oatiefactlon. I will not lose an oppot•
tunity of recommending the Chatham
maehinee to my friends. Yours respect-
foily, MRS. SIDNEY SMITH, Scotland,
Out,
The No, 3 incubator you sent me is all
rl,dht, wo hatched out of 100 fertile eggs,
102 good strong chicks, and the brooder
saved then all. Welled in the incubator
at the same time, in the other tray, 44
duels eggs and 34 goose eggs, from which
we got 30 ducks and 32 geese; total, 71
from 78 eggs, also hatched 0 turkeys at
the same time that the hen eggs were in.
We recommend the Chatham Incubator
and iirooder to be the best and surest
to hatch, under all circumstances, of any
other make. We have handled four
other makes, in our poultry business
which we ran on a large scale at Birtle,
keeping Barred Plymouth Rocks, Pekin
Ducks, Toulon Geese and Mammoth
Bronze. Turkeys. Yours truly, D, A.
ADAMS, Birtle, Man.
The No. 2 Incubator I bought from
you is all you recommended it 10 be. I
put in 101 eggs, and after testing out the
infertile ones I have 72 chicks, I find
the maohlno liret clue in every particular
and easy to run, if directionsare followed
carefully. Yours respectfully, MRS.
IIENRY CHASE, Warren, Ont..
Iwish to let you know of my success
with your incubator. Out of 124 eggs I
got 74 chicks, and out of my second
hatch I got 94 from 106 eggs. I find the
machine a pure success if run according
to directions. The breotler is a wonder
and I have not lost a chick as yet, and
they are almost feathered. Youre truly,
JOHN H.IIoKINNON, Coliingwood, Ont.
Your No. 2 Chatham Incubator has
given very geed returns the first hatch.
Out of 60 eggs I had 42 chicks, I was
rather afraid of wasting the eggs, and so
did nob all the machine but when the
chicks came, I was sorry i had not tilled
ft. Will recommend your Incubator to
my neighbors. Yours sincerely, M1tS. '

Chatham incubators and Brooders have every new improvement worth while
in an incubator or brooder. The incubators are made with two walls case within
ease, of dry material that has been thoroughly seasoned hi our lumber yards.
They are finished in antique oak, ,.s built solid as a rock and will stand any
amount of :sage for years. They are fitted with a perfect steel and brass
regulator that insures 'a successful hatch. There has never before been
such an offer as this made in the whole world. The sooner you take
advantage of this offer, the more time you will have before October,
1905, to make first payment. Cut off the coupon and send it in to -day
for our booklet on the way to raise chickens, what it costs and your
profit. You will obtain all information regarding the Chatham
Incubator.

TELEPHONES IN THE FOREST.
Stations in the Dense Timber Keep Log-
gers in Close Touch With Home.
Up in the dense timber along the Big
Blackfoot, Montana, where the logs are
cut that keep time big mills at Bonner in
motion, the traveller is often surprised
ns he journeys through the logging dis-
trict to see small telephone stations
located at intervals in the forest. There
are several of these stations, and they
enable the tuggers to keep in touch with
the mills, end, when the drive is in pro-
gress, with the rivernren as they chase
the logs down the stream.
These timber telephones are of the
greatest service in the conducting of the
business of the country. They ,save a
vast amount of time, and in case of an
accident or any other trouble they are
of indescribable value, During the last

Throughout the forests, from the St.

It was formerly the custom of each
lumber interest to maintain a force of
couriers, like the voyageurs of the Hud-

over rough forest paths.
Now the mill calls each camp in turn
at stated hours, and receives reports and
gives instructions to the foremen and
it is not necessary to dwell on the com-
mercial advantages of maintaining such
close touch between headquarters and
outposts in any enterprise. Letters are
read to men snowed in the forest fifty

are dictated by the lumbermen to a
stenographer, who transcribes them in

Getgraphical Map of Our Celestial
Neighbor Very Accurate.
We can draw all the geographical con-
figurations, 'seas, coasts, islands, penin-

Mars with accuracy, says Camille slam-
marion in Iiarper's Magazine, and we
can anticipate what district w r appear

more slowly than ours, the calendar of
two consecutive years of 003 days and
a bisextile one of 009 days.
It is not many years since Mars enter-'
ed into the sphere of our observation.
And one can say also that there is but
a small number of the inhabitants of
this world who have observed it in all
its details, and of these the most ex-
perienced is Signor Sehiaparelli, director
of the observatory at _Milan.
The geographical map of the planet
Mars has just been made with infinate
care by the above-mentioned astronomer.
One might really consider it a terristrial
sphere of continents, islands, coasts,
peninsulas, gulfs, waters. Moreover,
clouds, rains, inundations, snows, sea-
sons, winters and simmers, springs and
autumns, prevail as they do here; and

IlS5ELID.INATK cl
OF WEED SEEDS.
Al! weeds are disseminated by means
of their seeds, while a considerable num-
ber also multiply through the medium
of underground root steins. Among the
latter we have couch grass, Canada this-
tle, perennial sow -thistle, bindweed,
sheep sorrel, and some others. When a
new weed is discovered, it is a good plan
to examine into its habits of ,growth
and means of reproduction and dissem-
ination. A knowledge of thee° is more
important to the farmer than the mere
name of the weed.
Weeds that depend for reproduction
upon their seed alone produce them in
large numbers. A single plant of false
flax will nature front twenty-five to
thirty thousand seeds, and although we
sometimes have reason to doubt the vi-
tality of the seed of corn or mangols,
that • we buy, we need have no misgiv-
ings as to the vitality of these weed
seeds. The seed of these weeds that
mature in our .grain crops, even though
it shells out on the field, ie with dii-
fiaulty induced to germinate at a time
when it can lie destroyed. Some of it
can be persuaded to grow by stirring the
surface soil directly after harvest, but
most of it will not germinate until its
gets ready. Thus nature provides for
the perpetuation of the species.
In the seed laboratory at Ottawa, one
hundred fresh seeds of wild mustard
were planted in good soil in a box, and
under the most favorable conditions only
thirty-five of them could be induced to
grow . The box was then placed in the
open air for a week with the thernloitt-
eter below zero. When again put in the
germinator, seventeen more of the seeds
produced plants. The so:l was then al-
lowed to become thoroughly dry and
again put out to freeze, after which
twelve more of the hundred seeds germ -

Mr. George Johnson,, of the village
of Ohio, N. S., gives strong proof of
the truths of the above statements, Ile
says : "My son, now nineteen years
old, suffered greatly with kidney trou-
ble. Re was constantly troubled with
severe pains in the back, and, often pass-

he grew weak and could hardly do the
usual work that falls to the lot of a boy
on a farm, We tried several kidney me-
dicines, but they did not help flim any.
Then a friend recommended Dr. Wil-

medicine that reached the cause of the

of months and I am thankful to say is

There is no disease due to bad blood
that Dr. Wiliams' Pink Pills will not
cure, simply because they make new,
rich red blood that expels disease from
every part of the body. That is why
they cure, the worst cases of anaemia,

others are of more recent introduction.
There are many more more to come,
and soe of them and even more noxi-
ous than those that are now common.
For instance, there i % the Devil's Paint
brush or orange hawkweed, that is al-
ready rvc1I distributed over the eastern
townships of Quebec and part of New
Brunswick. Where this weed has be-
come well established, land that was
worth forty dollars an acre five years
ago, could not be sold for five dollars
an acre to -day.
There is also a number of weeds that
have been recently introduced into wes-j
tern Canada, and which have proved to
be exceedingly dangerous. Most of them
were brought in by immigrants. Among
them are tumbling mustard and field
pennyeress or stinkweed. A few plants
of each of these have been found iu dif-
ferent parts of Ontario during the past
season, and ,the east will know more
about them later. One thing seems clear
and that is that the weed pests are now
gaining headway at a much more rapid
rate than they did twenty-five years
ago. How can we account for this?
The investigations of the seed divi-
sion have shown that the seedsmen are
to blame to a considerable extent, but
there are ninny other means by which
weeds become disseminated,. and which
are worthy of consideration. Any farm- ,
er who has land that is annually flood-
ed by freshets knows the difficulty of
keping such land free from weeds.
Transportation companies, particularly
the railway companies, have much to
do with the introduction of new weeds.
Most of our noxious weeds are intro-
duced from Europe, Their seeds are of-
ten brought in with material that is
used for packing articles of commerce.
This parking material is scattered about
on the tground and the seeds soon ger-
minate, In three or four years the new
weed may be found on a large number
of films. That is the way most of our
weeds come to us.
The wind and animals of various
kinds do much to spread weed seeds in a
local way. Seeds of many weeds etre
provided with special facilities, seine
like small parachutes its in the Dande-
lion and ('evade thistle, by the aid of
which the seeds are carried long ills!
lances by the wind. Nature provided
>;eeds of other weeds, such as burs, with
the means of clinging to the wool of
:beep or to ether nnimnlc, in order to
Memel their distribution. In any ease,
it is for sera that comes first; the weed
