NOTES AND COMMENTS
While Mr, W. Mackenzie Ding, M.P.,
is in China making investigations into
Oriental immigration into Canada, pre-
parations are being made for the crea-
tion of the new portfolio of Labor, of
which Department it is expected be will
be made Minister. It is believed Sir
Wilfrid Laurier will fntroduoe the bin
regarding the new portfolio this week.
W. D. Soot1;, superintendent of im
migration, stated to the Commons com-
mittee on agriculture and immigration
Thursday morning,that he expected the
immigration to Canada this year would
total 200,000, and that 70,000 of these
would Dome from the United States.
As a result of rigid inspection system in
force at ports of entry during the past
year 4,500 immigrants had been turned
bank as undesirables.
The Trade and Commerce Depart-
ment has forwarded to Lord Strathcona
se detailed statement of the grain pro•
duction of Canada last year, from which
it appears that the total yield of all
crops amounted to 474,575,855 bushels,
Of this 126,795,137 was wheat, and of
this again 105,613,455 was grown in the
three eastern provinces. Saskatchewan
leads the procession with over fifty mil-
lion bushels of wheat to its credit, It is
estimated that at the beginning of the
present month there Iemeined in far-
mers' hands no less than 14,174,154.
Hon. Nelson Monteith, in conversation
the other day made mention of a new
pest, the sow thistle, which is oaneing a
great deal of anxiety to ,,the farmers, It
is perrenial and grows from the root as
well ae being spread from the seed. It
ie comparatively recent in this section of
the country, but the injury caused by its
rapid growth and spread has resulted in
an awakenin,c to the fact that some
atrini{ent meabures must be taken if the
farmers are to escape without heavy lose
in the value of their land. The township
ot Hibbert it seriously afflicted with it.
and so injnrioae is ibo pest that Land
formerly worth 370 an acre is not now
worth more than 830 an aore. In Bruoe
bounty the sow thistle ie very marked
fend farmers in that section are leaving
tee lend, as they have found it impos-
sible to grow crops or rent their farms.

Is Your Back the
Weakest Point?
Does It play out first When you have
steady work to do.
'Under these circumstances you can
be pretty sure that the kidneys are
weak and disordered and that the back
pains are really kidney pains.
Other symptoms are deposits in the
urine after standing, pain and smarting
when passing water, frequent desire to
urinate, alto headache, dryness and
harshness of the skin and pains in the
limbs and body.

AREA OF CANADA.
The following is what Mr, Yeigh'e
little volaura, 'Five Thousand Facts
about Canada,' has to Bay about Oen•
ada's dimendons:--
eemeda contains 1.3 of area of BritI h
Etnpire-.-8,729,665 square mites.
50 percent of area ie not yet included
in provinces,
Canada's three northern districts of
llfagkenzie, Ungava and Franklin are
larger than China.
Canada has nearly a million square
miles of praotioally unexplored area in
the far north.
Canada extends over forty degrees ot
latitude—equal from Rome to the North
Pole.
63 million sores of Canada's are oo-
oupied, 30 million sores thereof improv-
ed (1901 omen.)
Canada's proportion of population is
t.72 to square mile; Austria, 1; United
States, 21; England and Wales, 558;
British Empire (outside India), 4.
80 percent of Canada's area Lies North
of Lake Saperior; 20 percent east.
Canada is as large as 30 United $ing-
doms and 18 Germanys; twice the size
of British India; almost as large as
Europe.
Canada is 18 times the size of Prance;
33 of Italy.
Canada is bounded by three oceans;
its 13,000•mile coast line equals half oir-
cumferenoe or earth.
Canada is 3,500 miles by 1,400 miles
in area.
Oanada•U. S. boundary line is 3,000
miles long; 1,600 by land, 1,400 through

Canada is larger in area than the
United States, inoluding Alaska, by
111,992 square miles (Canada 3,729,665;
U. S. and Alaska 2,617,673),
Britain's over -seas Empire is 100 times
the size of the Motherland. Canada has
33 percent of Empire area, but only 1 1-3
percent of population of 400 millions.
ZAM-BUK CURED HER BABY.
Mothers will find the following state-
ment of more than passing interest,
showing as it does, how Zam-Buk ends
the skin diseases of children, even when
ordinary remedies have completely fail-
ed. Mre. C. W. Bowerbank, of 126,
Denison Avenue, Toronto, says:—
"Not tong ago my baby's faoe broke
out in an eruption. The spots would
crook and be very irritating and sore. At
other times they itched fearfully, and
canoed the child to cratoh a.. rale, thus
making the sores very • flamed and
painful. I tried all sort: of ointments
and salves, but they so chow did not
seem able to remove t• = trouble. Zane.
Buk proved very di i erent, and a few
applications gave the child relief. The
sores are now Beale. completely.
"Since that •• my little daughter
has had 000asi. , to use Zam-Bak nor
skin trouble. She broke out in blotches
on her hands and arms, and in her case,
also, Zam-Buk effected a oure.
"We now keep Zam-Buk handy as a
household balm, and do not intend to be
without it.
"Not only for skin diseases, but for
outs, burns and bruises, it is a fine rem-
edy. The other day I burned my hand
badly. An application of Zara -Bak
seemed to take the fire out of it at once,
and it soon healed. In the course of my
experience I have tried nearly all the
salves and ointments obtainable, but
there is nothing to Dome near Zam.
Buk.
Zam-Buk is Nature's own healing
balm, being composed of pure herbal
essences. It is a sure cure for pimples
and eruptions, eczema, ring -worm,
ulcers, oats, burns. bruises, poisoned
sores, chronic) wounds, bad leg, piles,
festering sores, and all skin injuries and
diseases. Druggists and Stores every-
where
verywhere sell at 50c. a box, or poet free for
price from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto; 3
boxes 31.25. You are warned against
cheap and harmful imitations sometimes
represented to be "just as good."
WHERE TO APPLY MANURE.
There are several good reasons for
following the practice of putting gean-
nre an grass lands, either meadow or
pasture: First, it is easier to haul
manure over grass lands than over a
ploughed field. Second, because one of
the main objects of applying manure is
to inorease the vegetable content, and
this application to grass lands by Wean -
listing the growth of the grass increases
the amount of vegetable matter by this
additional growth. In other words, it is
possible to grow manure.
A third reason le that there is no ap.
preciable loss of nitrogen either in the
winter or the summer if manure is tsp.
plied to grad lands. If it is applied in
the winter, nitrification does not go on
and hence there is no loss of nitrogen
except a small percent perhaps where it
Is washed off the enface of the /and,
The farmer West not jultm at the can•
chigoe, however, that bonnie a dark
colored liquid Is flowing off his newly
manured pasture that therefore he is
losing nitrogen.
The experiments ooiiduoted at the
Wisoonain station, reported in Bulletin
24, famished an additional reason.
That station has been oondnot,
ing a eerie,' of experiments On twenty-five
or thirty farms, most 'Of whioh have

while in soils that are very fertile and

lots is decidedly greater.
How our "Interlock" pin.,b1oe1
adds to the life and beauty of
tone of the Mason and Risch piano.
IN all pianos except the Mason
and Risch the pin -block is
anchored to the frame by iron
bolts.
This certainly holds the block
firmly when the bolts are first
placed, but if the piano
is in a warm room these
bolts expand and enlarge
the holes they are in.
When the room gets
cold they contract. They,
keep expanding and con-
tracting until they work
the pin -block loose put-
tingthe piano out of tune
and marring its tone. Sectional view of "Interlock" ipositn 7oiosltlon securely
ason holding pin -block !n nand Risch
The Mason and Risch patent
"Interlock,"
The piano with a soul.
Now, we wrestled with this problem years ago
and solved it with our patent wooden " interlock "
method of construction, which is exclusive to the
Mason and Risch piano.
By our method we sink a series of • end -wood
"interlocks " into the top of the pin -block and back
frame as shown in the illustration. Every change in
temperature affects the "interlock " to exactly the
same extent as it does the pin -block so it is a me-
chanical impossibility for them to work loose.
Thus the Mason and Risch piano lives and
retains its pure, rich tone long after other /
instruments are jangling discords. /

fionity that seemed to puzzle all other

in the pit of my stomach, I beoame

got nervous and could not sleep or reel.
This disease made me feel like not

How They Are Nursed and Reared
and Prepared For Nicrkct,
Oystermen nowadays are farmers
of the deep. They own their arti-
ficial beds and seed them down and
cultivate them carefully and watch
their crops and scarecrow off the pre.
datory . bordes, both mon and fish,
that otherwise would prey upon them,
just as the careful husbandman at
bars in his fields. Such an oyster'
bed as this may comprise a sea cover-
ed patch of anywhere from 50 to 300
acres of "bottom," floored preferaoly
with good, clean sand or broken rook
or shell, yet frequently devoid at
the start of all natural growth of the
oysters.
On the natural beds the oysterst
spawn. tremendously in the first warm
months of summer. The spawn at-'
taches itself like millions of freckles
to anything affording a foothold -1
anything sharp, like broken shells,
old bottles, other oysters and rocas.
With incredible rapidity these free-!
Ides expand, becoming spats
"—
small finger .nail oysters, already
housed in walls of lime.
Now comes the oysterman, he of
the schooner with its two big iron
dredges, and he in the skiff with his
tongs. Both begin to pillage the
beds in long, hard days of applica-
tion. They fetch up tons of baby
oysters, pitch back tons and tons of
rock or broken shell for the foot-
hold of oysters yet to be and, sail-
ing away to their staked out farms,
scatter all this "seed" beneath the
waves.
Not only are the private oyster
beds carefully divided one from an-
other by the best of good stake
hedges, but each holding is subdivid-
ed again into many smaller fields to'
facilitate the work. This becomes
necessary from the fact that the seed
must be permitted to grow for fully •
three seasons before marketable
oysters can be harvested. Therefore
when, with the advent of September,
the season for bivalves has begun'
the schooners are manned with
oystermen proper, who go down to
dredge out a three-year-old crop for
the towns.
They are dredged from the beds
just as rapidly as men and machines
can fetch them forth. The dredge
comes up from the deep like a min-
ing cage of steel. Its cargo upon its
arrival is dumped upon the deck, and
over it goes for another, Meanwhile
a crew of furiously working men are
busily culling at the heap, Scores of
the oysters come up in lumpy colon-
ies, where six, eight, ten or more of
the creatures are cemented together;
in a group. The men, armed with
hammers and skillful at the work,
give one sharp tap at such an aggre-
gation and break all its units apart. ,
A false blow might serve to kill
many oysters.
Having loaded her decks, the
schooner goes home, only to discharge
with all possible speed and hasten;
again to her labors. At the docks
in the meantime equally arduous em
ployment is abundant. The oysters
are forked like so much coke upon,
especially constructed floats, which,'
provided with tanks to submerge
them, are lowered at once below the'
ebb tide level, where they "drink"
and fatten for at least three changes
of the tide, being watched like nurs-
ing babies. The moment they are
just exactly right another hurried
business is on hand.
The tanks are pumped out, up.
come the floats, and men descend
upon them like rubber booted demons
to shovel them swiftly to a scow.
And now, being absolutely at their
finest, they must all be rushe
market.
Tact.
It is told of the youth of a young
German prince many years ago that
upon one occasion, his tutor having ,
been changed, the newcomer in ex-

the young prince asked:
"Can your highness tell me how
much is nine times twelve?"
"Seventy-two," replied the prince,
with royal promptness.
The tutor paled, but soon recover-
ed his equanimity.
" ermit me to state to your high-
ness that your highness' former tu-
tor, whom I have had the honor, to
succeed' as an instructor to your
royal highness, appears to have been
a person of rather limited capabili-

Just What He Needed.
An invalid called on a physician
for advice. The doctor wrote out a
prescription, charging the patient 2
guineas for it. Some time afterward
they met in the street.
"Well," said the doctor, "you are
looking 100 per cent, better ! That
medicine, though a little expensive,
was just what you needed.
"Doctor," replied the patient.
"after I had paid you the 2 guineas
for the prescription I couldn't afford
to have it made up, so I didn't take
a single dose !"
