Let There Be More
Demonstration O;chards.
Splendid results have been obtained All over Ontario the thousands of
from the demonstration orchards that, old neglected orchards m'ay with pro-
per care be made immensely profit-
able. The one way of demonstrating
this fact to the owners of neglected
orchards is by such examples as are
afforded by demonstration orchards.
One of these in a section ought to
coevinee all owners of orchards
thereabouts that their orchards can
be made more productive and profit-
able.
We need to encourage the renovating
of all neglected orchards and thus in-
crease the apple output of Ontario,
To do this one good, way is to estab-
lise demonstration orchards in all
parts of the province where neglect.
ed orchards are to be found. Marked
benefit has resulted from those al-
ready established. Let us have more
of them.—Farm and. Dairy.
have been in charge of the Ontario
Department of Agrieu:ture during the
past year. One of the six dereensbra-
tion orchards in the Georgian Bay
District that never before had re-
turned its owner more than. $50, un-
der the direction of the District Rep-
resentative at ('ollingwood, on being
pruned, sprayed and cultivated for
one season returned its owner this
year $300 after all expenses were
paid.
Such a demonstration is of great
educatilonal value. It is worth more
to the cause of better orchard prac-
tice than any amount of lecturing or
distributing of bulletins on the sub-
ject of rejuvenating old orchards. See-
ing is believing.
Profits in an (Ontario Orchard.
"The British Columbia real estate
rnan who had an exhibit at the Cent-
ral Exhibition," said Mr. McNeill,
Chief of the Fruit Division, in an
address in Stormont County recently,
"told some big stories about the pro-
fit in different orchards in British
Columbia, and no doubt these stories
were true. But if Ontanfo real estate
men were equally enterprising they
could match the best of these stories
without the slightest difficulty.
"For instance, yesterday I went
through an orchard near Morrisburg,
continuing one and a third acres,
•
chiefly McIntosh Red, Farneuse and
Wealthy. The owner told; me that
he bad sold the apples this, year on
the trees, the buyer takingall risks.
of weather and markets, the price
stipulated being $400, cash en deliv-
ery of the apples.
"I was anxious to' know the net
profit to the growers, and therefore,
asked him what the costwas of the
season's care of the orchard. _He re-
plied that the net cash outlay was
$6.75, and his own work in addition
would be probably $6 more. I after-
wards verified these facts."
Save Motions and Footsteps..
.1 great manufacturing establish-
ment that employs about 200 girls
some tame ago undertook to educate
these girls to save motions in the
performance of certain operations
upon the material in process of manu-
facture. On each of these operations
the whole force is often employed for
many days in succession. One opera-
tion had previously required five
"motions" of each girl's hands to corn-
pick- it, leaving the material in readi-
ness for tho neat cperation. Every
"motion," then, involved one-ftffh of
m►t;he wages paid, per day, to the 200
girls—a fifth, the aggregate of which
for the year was dearly $:5,000. One
of the proprietors, with a lady fore-
man, was at the time mentioned,• en-
deavoring to so dril'1 a small class of
wcrking girls that by a peculiar turn
of the wrist and an accompanying
movement of the opposite hand,; the
operation named could be performed
in four-fifths of the time until then
required. If they succeeded, the es-
tablishment could soots, by drilling all
the girls in the sante way, save that.
$15,000 per year, or could turn out
ane -fifth more work .for the same ex-
penditure, thus giving it an import
Cant advantage in the fierce , competi-
tion for business.
The incident has its bearing on
household work. 13y taking .thought.
and planning .carefully to save mo-
tions and footsteps time may be• saved
and work be given ,a new interest.
There are a multitude of processes
gone through in the daily.routine • of
household work on each • of which` the
saving of one !notion .wallet total
up many minutes—yes, hours—that
might be 'devoted to recreation, inn
proving the mind, eor planning how
to save 'more 'notions. Plan to: save
motsions in your work and you will add
greatly teethe joy of living and your
planning • will yield . a•profit ctafiy.—

A Trade Bulletin.
Ottawa, Nov. .11th.—The Census
Office issues today a bulletin on the
crops of Canada as prepared from
reports made up to the end of Octob-
er.
The closing months of the year give
good reports for nearly all of the
field crops of the Dominion. Potatoes
alone indicate partial failure, and in
all the provinces there are complaints
of rot in the fields and in the heaps
for winter storage. The area . is
503,262 acre:, and the estimated yield
74,048,00.0 buslecls, hying an average
of about 147 buseels per acre, which
is nearly uniform for all the provin-
ces. The quality is 84.12 percent.
Turnips and other field crops show a
quality of 88.57, a yield per acre of
402 bushels and a total yield of
95,207,000 bushels for a crop of
236,622 acres. ]lay and clover are
computed for 8,515,400 acres and - a
yield per acre of 182 tons. The i
quality 6s 90.45 percent. and the tot-
al yield 15,497,000 tons. Fodder corn
has an estimated yield. per acre of
9.38 tons, which upon an area of
271,960 acres gives a product of;
2,551,000 tons. Sugar •beets are
grown most extensively in Ontario
and Alberta, where they supply roots
for three sugar factories. The area
in crop this year is• 16,000 acres,
which is a substantial increase Upon

The Value of Good Roads.
To the Editor.—The representative
of a trillion farmers, the Hon. N. J.
Bachelder, Master of the National
Grange of the United States, is cred-
ited with working harder than any
other man for good roads throughout
the land. Speaking at the recent Con-
vention in Cleveland, Mr. Bachelder,
pointed out clearly the growth of pub-
lic sentiment in favour of better
roads. "Wheee only a few years ago
the discussion of measures for road
improvement were confined to farm
journals and weekly country papers,"
'said he, "we now find the subject giv-
en province in our leading magazines,
national journals, and influential news,
papers. To the voices of the farm-
ers demanding larger appropriations
for improved roads, we now have, ad-
ded those of the manufacturers, mer-
chants, and other business men, who
realize that the prosperity of out
country depende on the prosperity of
our agricultural interests, and that
good roads will do more to in
prove the welfare of the fanners, and
indirectly the people as a whole, than
any other refcrm. The agitation for
good roads, originating with the
farmers, and for a long time conduct-
ed almost entirely by thein, has brow•
dened out into a great movement."
The problem of subsfituting a com-
prehensive system of improved roads
kr the dirty road:; which constitute 90
pereent. of our highways, has been ad-
vanced beyond the stage of et'ate'inents
showing the benefits of good roads.
Everybody knows that the great maj-
ority of our country roads are a dis-
grace to a people professing to be
highly civilized. The real - gttetstion
is, therefore, not that of the advant-
ages of good reads, hitt the practical
question of securing the enactment of
legislation providing thti •neeer.;sary
funds for the work of road improve-
ment and maintenance."
It would seenn, ther,lore, beyond
question, that the most essential work
for good roads atthe present time is
the creation of a ptehlie stetitnent fav-
orable to tile desired legislation, and
the organization of this sentiment so
as to convince our legislators that
their constituents are in earnest . in
d•: mending prompt action to . provide
the funds necessary to give us improv-
ed roads." --The Secretary of Good
Roads Publicity Association.
