The poseibilities of an extension of the fruit growing industry of Canada in the different localitiee visited. The tendenciee in the matters of the planting and growing of different kind e of fruit, and with regard to apples, the varieties which aro being moist ex- tensively planted in the different dis- trict, 3.

The conditions under which Brit- ish Columbia, Ontario and Maritime Province fruit is marketed in the Prairie Provinees as well as the character and effect of American competition. The enquiry was concluded in due time and the report hue been printed for gen- eral distribution, it contains a large amount of detailed information gathered in every province, making it an invalu- able guide to persona who desire to take up fruit growing as an industry. In hie general conclusions Mr. Bunt- ing ;points out that whdle the growing of fruit offers ample reward to the man of energy, patience and perseverance, there ie perhaps no phase of agricultural endeavor which requires to be more closely studied, and in will& a wider range of information its more desirable and necessary.

(Christian Guardian) What shall be done with men who are too lazy to support their wives and fam- liles? This 'was one of the subJects dis- cussed at the recent Canadian Confer- ence of Corrections nad Charities in Mon treat All the societies had carapIaints to make of the burden thrown on them bY suah tnen, who either run away from their families in order to escape the responsibility or else lie around and ro- ute to work. In tither ea -se the family must shift for itself or be supported by charity. All were agreed that somehow the lazy husband should be compelled to support his family. But how? That Is the difficulty. The present method of sending the man to jail is condemned on all sides as a failure. It does not ewe:sort the family and in many cases It is not even a punishment to worthlese husbands. If it were possible to make such men work in jail and support their farnilY also. the solution would be isimple enough. But it seems difficult to make the man work hard enough to even earn his own board.

The value to the poultry raisers of the trap nest is without question one of the greatest that has been placed before them for the increasing of poultry pro- fits. It has benefited the so-called util- ity breeder by increasing his egg yield.. It is of great value to the faneier in en- abling him to pick the best breeders from year to year. It is very true that there are many successful breeders of fancy fowls who do net use them. It is also true that many successful egg farms have not installed them, but this does not lessen the fact that to any one who wishes to melte the most out of poultry they are indispensable. There are too many star boarders itt the flocks of to -day -fowls, many of them barren, some only laying a few eggs -but all consuming the same quan- ditty of food-, cutting down tho flock average far below what it should be. Were this class .of fowls eliminated, the flock average would be higher, and pro- fits greater. and. this can only be accom- plished by .the use of the trap nest -the one sure method of telling which hen laid the egg -and how timely in ono month or one yeer. By picking those that are steady pro- ducers of eggs the proper size and color, and that have laid over 32 dozen in rt, year, and. mating them properly each /year, the breeder will find that he will have an increased cg e yield per flock; that instead of the flock averaging be- low 120 eggs per hen, he will go upward to the 144 mark and in many crises high- er. In spite of all one reads about high 'eag yields, there are more poultry plants at the 120 mark per hen than above. There is no sure test that will -enable oneto pick out the beet layers. Many bave claimed to bane done this, but have failed to prove their case. The trap nest is the onl.v Sure and. practical method, and the ponitry raisers who are 'using them are one step in advance of their brother p0111117' Mel who do not. The ege, after all ie said and done, is the real foundation of suceeesful poultry and the more eggs per year per hen the poultry raiser can obtain the larger the profit. And by weeding out at the start those fowls that do not lay well the poultry raiser has Bayed on the feed bill at once. Birds that are ailing can he detected at onee and removed. It makes the fowls gentle and easy to han- dle. One can determine how they are eatiag. In fact. the benefite ere nanny lay those who nee the trep nest. The extra time taken when they are used is not as much as many suppose. Releasing the trapped birds four or five times dur- ing the day is ofen enong,h, They do not worry if confined a fe whoure in s, property constructed nest, In fact, af- ter becoming used to the nest they rest until released.

The -re is an old saying that if you can count five betweeu the flash and tho thunder you are safe. Modern science tells us that if you can see the flash at all you are safe, because if It struck you yon would have no time to see it. The speed of lightning is about 180 times that of eight. The old idea was that if you could count five the storm was a mile away, which 'VMS considered a safe distance. Sound travels at the rate of 1,142 feet a second, or about a mile in five seconds. In order to count seconds accurately many photo- graphers start by saying to them- selves: "No one thousand, one one thousand, two one tb.ousand, three one thousand," etc. This gives about the right space between each count of one, two, three, etc., if you stop at the number of seconds you want to time. Witb. a little practice with a watch beside you this is accurate up to half a minute or more. If you see a steam whistle blow- ing and note the tuatara it stops you can count the seconds until you lose the sound, and by allowing a fifth of a mile for each second you can Judge the dietanoe. The same is true of guns, or aii explosion, or even of hammering or any loud sounds. .6.41.40 ••••.* HIGH COST OF LIVING.

By 1907 it had fallen to 33.2 and in 1010 was 30.7. The death rate has declined from 29.3 itt 1870 to 17.1 in 1010. From the army standpoint the situation is said to be alarming. e It is not always the driver or chauf- feur or motorman that is to blame for street aceidents. There are people who persist in croesing in front of all kinds of vehicles, and there are tieople wife, when crossing the street, pay no more attentiott to themselves than if they were crossing a hay field. Parents are also altogether too earele.ss about their children playing on the streete. The Danbury (Ct.) hat manufacturer who suffered from a boyoott by the Hatters' Union ten years ago heves been successful in their litigation, against the organization. They obtained recently a verdict of $80,000, whieh, under the Sherman law, may be trebled. Three years ago they obtained a, verdict which, under the act, amounted to $220,000, but that was upset by the United States Supreme .Court and the case ordered back for retrial. e---te The recent fatal auto aecident at Phila- delphia. whereby nine young persons were killed has moved the mayor of that city to take action looking to the prevention of such casualties. In his measure he would incorporate a pro- vision that the driver of an automobile should be fined $10 to $15 for the first °Renee of furious driving, $50 for the second, and $250 for the third, with for- feiture of license for the fourth. For the safety of the automobilists them- selves it is but right that speeding should be severely punished. A United States Consular report says that co-operative organizations of con- sumers are numerous in Russia, and. ire the number of people interested are see- on.d only to those of Germany.

Cady, lecturer 'of the Am- erican Federation of Sex Hygiene, in a talk which he gave before the Interna- tional Coegrese on Ifyglehe and Derao- graphy, recently, fixed the annual cost to Ameriea of the white slave c-vil and its attendant ills at three billion dollar exclusive of the maintenance of sick, blind, insane and parelytie persons, and the burial of infants, the results of vice. According to his estimate the Milted States spend eaeh year for intoxieants $2,000,000,000; for tobacco$1,200,000,000, for jowelry and ornaments, $800,0001000; for mIttMlobiles, $540,000,000; for eloireh work at home, $110,000,000; for tea, and eoffee, $100,000,000; for patent medicines, $80,000,000.
