NgTES AND COMMENTS
Tbte Crown Lands Department, To-
le:Wo, is still laboring utaufaily with
digin soldiers' elaitus to laird grants, The
eiGor'mous unuiber of 18,000 Maims have
been received from ancient and modern
Yetertene, and it has kept a stair of five
eletrine busy in weeding out the un-
worthy and preparing doeuments for
the deserving. The veterans who bore
arms during the Fenian Raid days have
nil sent in claims, but only those who
went on active service to the front will
be given land, It is expected. that 2,000
deeds will be issued by thedepartmueut
in a few days, this number of documents
being now ready for signature. Along
With. the deeds the deserving veterans
Will receive much literature and useful
information concerning the new country
in which their farms are to be located.
The action of the Bank of Montrealin
raising thelimit at which 'their clerks
are allowed to take unto themselves a
Wife from $1000 to X$1,500 a year, has
created a. good deal of comment iu the
presa midotherwise. The Hamilton
Times remarks: " The bank clerks are
very popular socially, especially in the
smaller towns, from many of which
there has been an exodus uof native
young men. But we fancy the young
ladies do not regard the bank clerks
very seriously as raw material for hus-
bands. They are all right to practise
On, dance with, flirt with and talk to,
'when the real Sandy McKay is awe '
The new v$1,500 regulation will not
bother the girls, who would have just as
much funif Lord. Strathcona raised the
limit to x$1555,000."

DOMINION POULTRY STATION.
The Dominion Government is evident-
ly intent upon giving to the public the
benefits of the. latest Iliethods in rais-
ing, feeding and shipping poultry.
Last week F C Elford, who has charge
of the station at Holmesville received
instructions from Prof. Robertson,
Commissioner of Agriculture, to erect
a large feed shed 24 feel by 100 feet.
With the buildings that have already
been constructed, this station will then
be well equipped to carry on the work
intended by the Government. Poultry
is becoming one of our most valuable
exports, and the Government, ever'pro-
gressive and alert to the interests of the
public, are giving the most undivided
attention to the matter of bringing the
poultry business to a remunerative con-
dition. The same method was adopted
by this Government a few years ago
'with regard to our cheese trade, and to-
day Canadian cheese stands first in the
British market and its sale there has
put many a good British sovereign into
the pocket of the Canadian producer.
" There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, lead on to
fortune." It is the same with the
affairs of 'a nation, and the Liberal Gov-
ernment is particularly happy in seizing
those moments, and we look to poultry
raising to become one of the best
branches of Canadian products. Some
ides of the vastness of the work contem-
plated may be gained when We know
that Mr. Elford's instructions are to
buy 20,000 chickens, if possible, for
fattening purposes and he is not limited
to 50,000. These will be fed by different
methods and shipped in lots of 500 and
1,000. Some will be sent alive, others
dressed, and the returns with cost of
feeding will be given to the public. The
establishment of this institution is quite
a tribute to West Huron, it being the
only one in the county, or for that
matter in this part of Western Ontario;
the nearest, we believe, is a feed station
at Woodstock.

Arrangements were made for the hold-
ing of Missionary and Education meet-
ings in the District, largely local arrange-
ments.
Rev, IV. W.,,rnech, of Toronto, was
present and addressed, themeeting: He
ison the Superannuated list but yet an
active worker. Mr. Leech was for years
a member of this district.
Au Open Parliament followed on the
question of Evangelistic effort. Short
addresses were given by Revds. Messrs.
Harris. Hobbs, Kerr, Oaten,; Wells, Gar-
butt, Rogers and Messrs. Deachman and
Chambers.
A discussion was entered upon as to
the question of a re -arrangement of the
work on several Northerly circuits. The
Chairman appointed the following Com-
mittee to report on the case:-Revds.
Harris, Oaten, Kerr and Rogers.
Rev. A. H. Brown, of Belgrave, was
appointed to take charge of a District
Reading circle iu the matter of soliciting
members
Rev. Walter Rigsby. who was to ad-
dress the District meeting relative to the
claims of St. James Church, Montreal,
was unable to be present owing to getting
to Wingham too late for train to Gorrie.
Meeting was brought to a close by the
Benediction.
The ladies of the congregation had
nicely flower -decked tables set in the
basement, loaded with both the necessar-
ies and delicacies of life and the delegates
were invited there to dinner. It was a
thoughtful and hospitable procedure.
They were accorded a hearty vote of
thanks on motion of W. H. Kerr and R.
Deachman, supported by Rev. Mr.
Wells. The highly esteemed pastor,
Rev. R. .T. Garbutt, L. L. B., made an
appropriate reply.
The largest known tree in the world
has been discovered far up in the Sierras
in California:. Six feet from the ground
it took a line 154 feet, 8 inches in length
to encircle the tree.
Twitching of
The Nerves
Mrs. Ilrink+rater, e Water Street, Galt,
Oat., states :-" My great trouble has
bean with my nerves, I was very nervous,
had twitching of the nerves and could not
get to sleep at night, I seemed quite
worn out and believing that I needed some
medicine began to use Dr. Chase's nerve
Food. I can truthfully say that this
preparation has proven surprisingly bene-
ficial to me. It has strengthened and
steadied my nerves, made me rest and
sleep well, and in fact built up the system
generally."
In Dr. Chase's Nerve Food is found the
ideal tante for blood and nerves, and
through these' two mediutt,s every or an
in the human system is benefited. The

WESTERN FAIR, LQNQQN:.
In these days of niarvellens dovokp-
went men have almost ceased to be gar,
prised: t.o matter what strange novelty
May appear, and yet we have ,just
learned of a sensational feat of 'inmate
skill and oaring that commands univer-
sal wonder and admiration wherever it
is seen. It is called the Cycle Dazzle
and was originated by the worid•fautoue
king of hazardous expleitse The act is
performed on rile amalleet raraipg trite*
ever constructed and onebuilt at an
angle of 74 degrees, In 'this strange
structure two men and two wouteu ou
bicycles perform feats so marvellous
that they dety description. One eau
scarcely imagitse the terrific speed that
must be acquired by these daring riders
on emit a track, to set at naught coin-
pletely the law of gravitation. We are
glad to know that the people of Western
Ontario are soon to hew the pleasure of
seeing this uparnlelleled sensation. The
Directors of the Western Fair Associa-
tion !lave fortunately been successful in
securing the attraction for the thous-
ands who will visit London from Sept.
12th to 20th, the date of the great exhi-
bition.
But this is not all the programme, for
the Western of 1902 goes far beyond
anything ever attempted in the seine
line. It has always been the leader in
these departments, but this year will
surpass itself in the beauty, variety
and thrilling magnificence of its pro-
gramme. A glance at the list suffices to
prove that the management have spared
neither trouble or expense to give their
friends the most unique, instructive and
amusing entertainments over offered to
the people of this province.
Another sensational marvel who has
thrilled thousands in the States will be
at the exhibition in the person of Prof.
Hutchinson, the Human Bomb. He
takes a tremendous flight in his
immense baloon and makes a parachute
drop by being projected from the bomb.
Rosa Naynon and her wonderful
flock of 63 trained tropical birds should
'vin unstinted admiration from lovers
of ornithological study.
The marvelous Monopedes, or one -
legged acrobats, Manning and Du
Crow, will present their high-class, her-
ozontal bar act, which has filled vaud-
villa houses in all parts of the continent.
Among other acrobatic specialties will
be those of Osnatos,three of the cleverest
artists in the athletic world; and the
four Bard Bros., famu us s for the aston-
ishments they have' brought to spell-
bound audiences, with their backward
and forward somersaults, cutaways,
doubles and twisters: and then there
will be on hand the four inimitable
Olifaus, with their .amusing eccentri-
cities and novelties.
The great Gay and his wife are the
most mysterious magicians and wonder -
workers appearing on any platform.
Chrissie Morrison Jones, Canada's
greateest lady Cornet Virtuoso, will ap-
pear every afternoon and evening in
numbers demandiul; the maximum of
technical skill, The Fireworks display
has been planned along lines calculated
to produce the greatest luxury of color
ever seen in Western Ontario, and is a
feature of the show none can afford to
miss.
Every department of the Exhibition
is being strengthened and improved
and in each case an advance over pre-
vious years has been scored. Altogether
the Western Fair of 1902 is confidently
expected to excel its illustrious prede-
cessors in wealth df, exhibits, the excel-
lence of special programmes and con-
suming ;luterest to- visitors from all
parts of the province, and indeed to add
to the accumulated glory heaped up by
this Exhibition during past years.
Collect Weed Seeds
"That enormous sums of money are
lost to farmers throughout Canada every
year by weeds," no person will deny.
In the great :war against these enemies,
it isnecesgary that all eoncernedehould
become more intelligently acquainted
with their habits of growth, and, above
all, be able to identify specimens and
their seeds. This is the time when seeds
can be most conveniently gathered.
Many specielt are becoming ripe. Supply
yourself with small bottles and become
interested iu making a collection. It
Will pay. In this Way one can soon be-
come familiar enough with weed seeds
to detect almost any specimen in a
sample of clover Or Other seed when
buying. If you do not know the name
of all seeds collected, send a sample to
this office and we wilt be pleased to
identify it if we can. giving an answer
through the columns of the Fanners'
Advocate. Ie you have not time to do
this yourself;, interest the younger peo-
ple in the niatter. It Will pay. -The
llarileters' Advocate.

Why we Believe in Prohibition
Not baeause we li think that it will
or nen, of itself, • work then morel
r'ageneretion of the eg'gimunity, or
that it will hies great influence, dire
eetly, towards that exon. We are
quite willing to admit that it would
le a greet dent. better for the man
who is now :ruining, ilia life through
excessive drinking, if, through some
moral and religious impulse, he re-
formed, than that he, should be com..
plied to step through en impossi-
bility of getting' 1rink. And we be-
neve it quite passible teat one com-
munity, under a 'strictly enforced
prohibitory law, might be morally no
better than another under wide-open
drinking. A prohibition law *lone
is not equal to the 'moria refornia-
tion of the citizens. lint we do be-
lieve that such a law, enforced even
with a fair degree of strictness, will
help oat greatly in the effort toward
personal and social redemption for
which the church and all goon men
aro working, And .so thoroughly,
are we convinced of this, that we
believe were Jesus Christ with us en
the earth to -day -he who never re-
sted satisfied short of the change of
heart, the birth of a new nature-
ite would be as we are in the matter.
We, happen to live neer a liquor
store, one of those blotches upon the
fair face of our city. We have seen
some of -the havoc that it has wrought
in the community, upon the old man
and the child, in: the home and in
the fond hopes and ambitions of those
who, at one' time, bade fair for life.
And we have often asked the. question
Could the Son of man look upon that
place without breathing out the.
deep curse of his Father against such
work of iniquity'? Tim saloon is
main's foe, len fcq MI the, highest
and holiest interests for this life,
and for the great future. That is
the reason why we believe in prohibi-
tion, -Christian. Guardian.
Canadian F. adores
Failure returns from the Dominion of
Canada show the customary similarity
to domestic records Business conditions
across the northern border are largely
dependent on the prosperity of this
nation, and hence it is not surprising
that an unusually good exhibit was made
in Canada during July. Manufacturing
defaults numbered 15 with liabilities of
$39,771, compared with 13 a year ago for
$84,886; trading failures were 57 in num-
ber and $262,756 in amount, against, 70
last year, involving $329,347; in other
commercial lines there were 3 failures
for $59,000, against 2 for $41,000 a year
ago, 'Total coinmerciai'failures were
but 75 in number and w861,627 in amount
of defaulted liabilities, compared with
85 in July, 1901, $455,233. Eight of the
fourteen manufacturing classes reported
no failures whatever, while iu general
stores alone of the trading division were
the losses at all heavy. -Dun's review.
Only a mask.
Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, notwithstanding ranch outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only a mask. They are still'.
nervous, easily tired, upset by trifles,
and they do not eat nor sleep well
What they need is What tones the
nerves', perfects digestion, creates appe-
tite, and makes sleep refreshing, and
that is Hood'a Sars'bparilla. Pupils and
teachers generally will find the chief
pnfpose of the vatsatie t best subserved
by this great medicine which, as we
know, "Wide up the whale system."

Value of the Fuit Crop of the
ia
iara Peninsula.
Ig
V. L. Smith writer in, the Weekly
Sun: What is the valuer of the out-
put of the small fruits produc;d tap
Niagara District '1 There have been a
nunmbsr of guesses, but, although the
crop is of greater value than all the
commercial apples raised in, the pro-
vince, there has never been any syr
te•matic attempt to find cwt what
i i ie really worth. A statement of
areae will help in this direction. The
district referred to is 50 miles' long
and from one and a hall to five
miles wide. Of course, all the terri-
tory is not fruit or truck. ,But
between St. Catharines and the lake
-for coma four concessions back from
the lake -from five to fifty acres in,
every hundred is ism fruit. About
Grimsby the proportion in fruit in
still greater,
The report, of the Bureau of Indus-
tries tel is us that in Lincoln Coun-
ty there are about 20,000 acres in
orobitid, garden, Anil vineyard, and
in Wentworth 16,000 acres in the
same. As a result of personal obser-
vation and enquiry, I should think
that fully 20,000 of the. total given
is in sealer tree fruits, small fruit
and truck in what is called,, the Ni-
agara district.
What is the output worth en acret
Well, take the cherry crop tie a help
in working out a calculation, Mr.
Collins, who has a ,fruit farm near
St. Catharines, got 4c per lb. far
his cherries, and he had an average of
45 lbs. per tree, That its $1,80
per tree, and with' 130 trees to the
acre this would figure up to $134.
Sonic' fruits will go more than that
and some good deal less. It .is safe
to average it -taking fruit and. truck
together -at over $100 an acre, so
that the total value, of the output.
for the district would be about
.$2,000,000.
Rain water Reigns
A render of an inquiring' turn of
mina, has made some calculations bas-
ed on the enormous rainfall of the
present month. He seys,-
A gallon of water weighs 10 pounds•,
and if spread out iu a .layer; one inch.thick will onlyarea ' {{
cover an of two
ere feet. An inch' of rain gives
22,662 gall one for 100 tons, of water Tier
aerie, or 60,000 tons per square miles.
e fernier who has di 160 acre farm
will receive on his farm 16,000 tons
of water for each. inch) of rain.. ,Z
see that the rainfall of the present
month is unprecedented, being already
8 i -b inches, so the farmer mcntloncdl
above will have to his credit 133,33e
tones, or 30,216,000 gallons. - '
Eight inches of rainfall upon a
square mile means 123 250,000 gallons
OT 616,006 tons. It world be interesting
to know w.hej,her the phenomena'
rainfall of this :season. has any con-
nection with the prohibition agita-
tion. Whether' the referendum! in
carried or not. the. country: will get
its full Share oc cold, water anyway.
