The jointer plough was developed through the appreciation of plough makers of the necessity or mixing vegetable matter with the soil during the ploughing operation. The Jointer is a min4ature plough attached to the main plough beam in such a posi- tion as to cut and roll a small furrow slice into the bottom of the furrow and Just ahead of the furrow slice tarned by the plough mouldboard. Ms arrangement permits the turn- ing of a wider furrow slice and puts all vegetable matter well under the cutter of the turned furrow slice. Jointer ploughs are equipped with a shorter mouldboard that is shaped to invert the furrow slice; more curl or steeper are the terms generally used to describe the jointer plough mouldboard. A wheel And a land- slide designed to keep the plough straight of uniform depth and steady are also part of .the jointer plough equipment. Shorter handles, shorter beam, and shorter moulboard are characteristics very.pronounced when the jointer type of -plough is 'COM - pared with the Scotch or king- plough type. --L. Stevenson. Half -Acre Garden GiveBig Return.. ' You can make on an average $44 net on a half -acre garden on -your farm., Can you make as' much on. a half -acre in any other way? The thing has been worked out by the, Illinois Experiment Station. ' After five years, this station found that the average gross -income from its half - acre garden was $7 4.85. With a labor cost of $25.71 and expenditures for seeds, plants, and insecticides of $5.08, the net return was $44.06. Here is what the Illinois garden pro- duced in its last year: Onions, green 36 clnaen, ripe 2 bushels; asparaigus, 104 pc un ds ; radishes, 103 dozeto lettuce, 22 bas- kets; turnips, green 5 baskets, early 10 dozen, late 2.6 bushels; rhubarb, 34 pounds; spinach, 21 baskets; peas, 11 baskets; beets, green 8 baskets, early 15 'dozen,- late 8.9 bushels; cab- bage, early 108 heads, late (large). 24, late (small) 24; beans, string 16 pecks, lima 14 pecks; early potatoes, 5 bushels; parsley, suppLy; cauli- flower, early 25, late 10; earrotsaeai- ly 24 dozen, late 7 bushels; squash, Sunliner 93, winter 330 , Pounds; sweet -corm 47 dozen; tomatoes, ripe 25 bushels, green 7 bushels; cucum- bers, slicing 337, pickles 7 5; musk- melons, 1,185 pounds; watermelons, 2,063 pounds; egg Plant, 41' fruits; peppers, 4 pecks; •parsnips, 3,4 hesit- els; salsify, 1.2 bush'els; winter red- ishes, 3.1 bushels; celers. zu a:2nm The aaen a man loses 1ai,t1 in his fell,cogra ills because they do to him what he would Ielee to do. :to them, A PioDeer Person1 ,SyStetix The Canetelan- Pac=fei Railway is thisyear tie - twentieth ie.:oaten; the twentie anniversary ci the eoundation of the Companeenseseneen st. Pensions for the einp.eyees. It was ,in 1902 that the Board of Directors, under the Pree;dency of Lord Shaughneessy, Ice:: al ,Into the futiere forthe ei those Who were laying the inundations of the 'service that Ives to take so large a part in the up -buntline. of Canada. • In December, 1902, the directors naesed a resolution „stating that a time had corns when provision should be made for officers and permanent employees who, after long years of faithful service, had reached an age when they were unequal to the further performance of their .duties, and announcing that a plan of super- annuation had been determined upon. The plan was a generous one. The Company provided all the money necessary, a'rld the employees were not called upon to contribute to it in any, way whatever. In 1903 when it was first put into 'effect Cianadian Pacific employees numbered about 40,000, To -day they approximate 90,000, and every; one of them, from the humblest stenographer,' office boy, or "track walker or even the minor employee at sonae far-off out- post in China or in Europe has old. age sustenance guaranteed so long as he or she stays with the Com- pany. Some Statistics The Company's first contribution to the pension fund was $250,000 which was supplemented by annual grants starting at $80,000 which have, from time to time, been in- creased, until for some years past it has been $500,000 annually. To the end of 1922 the Company had con- tributed a total of $4,715,000 to the fund while payments on pensions had amounted .to $3,857,802, leaving a balance to the credit of the fund of $1,640,103. In 1922 the total pay- ments made amounted to $508,051, and at October lst of this year the total number of the Company's pen- sioners was 1,182, each of whom was drawing an average of $35.92 per month. It is of interest to note that since the pension fund became operative, 877 pensions have become inoperative through the death of the beneficiaries. Having in •view conditions of in- creased living costs which then pre- vailed the world over, the Company in 1919 allowed the pensioners an additional bonus of twenty-five per cent. of their Iregular allowance. This went into effect on May 1st of that year, and continued until the end of • 1922. In view of the modi- fication of the condition that made it necessary, that bonus is this year set at twenty per cent. Kept in C.enada By far the greater part of this money is of course distributed in Canada, just as is the case with the Company's vast payroll of over $100,000,000 annually, and the many millions it yearly spends on the purchase of supplies under the pol- icy of distributing as much of its expenditure as is possible in the country it exists to serve. The operation of the fund is sim- plicity itself. Upon reaching the . age of 65 every employee who has joined the staff before reaching the age of forty is entitled to retirement if the Company so desires and can claim a pension of one per. cent. of the average monthly pay received for the ten years preceding retire- ment for every year in which he has been in the Company's 'service. This is as the system was first devised twenty years ago, and there has been but one amendment to its pro- visicies. In 1908 it was found that in some cases the amount of the pension so calculated was insuffi- cient to protect the recipient against want' as wap intended, and it was provided that from thenceforth the minimum amount of pension paid would be $20 per month. Fosters Efficiency That this system bas been a big factor in fostering the efficiency so largely identified with Canadian Pacific operation is undeniable. Mr. E. W. Beatty, President of the Company, speaks of it not only as a prime necessity in these dasis of sociological progress, and as an in- herent right of those who give lives of faithful work to Canadian Pacific service, but also as one of the things that has helped to bring into existence the high standard of co- operation that exists between all bra/aches of the Company's service. "It is helping to make contented em- ployees," says Mr. Beatty, "and that •is the first requisite of. faithful, effi- sient service.

THE racing of dog teams in sleighs is probablY• not an ancient form of sport, and more probably still, it is a sport that came first into being in our own country. It is pretty sure ' that prehistoric man had his friendly dogs to help him run down his game and Warn him of the approach of enemies and perhaps served some • small purpose as a beast of burden. 'Modern days have seen dogs hauling • carts through the. streets of Euro- pean towns and when the white man -Erst came to Canada the Indians of the plains harnessed him as they did , their horses to a couple of poles on which were placed articles they wish - ;ed to convey frotn one camp to an- other. s In the- Arctic the sleigh ,was the natural form of vehicle and the I , development of the "Iluskie" from the wolf was the natural form of evo- lution.' The dog performed a great 'work in the opening up of the North Ito civilization. Travel and trade de- pended entirely upon him and he did ,ihis work well. The natural instinct i of the white man towards sport could ;only result in the development of 1 dog team racing and the interest in Ithe sport has spread until no winter (carnival in Canada or the Northern 'States is complete without at least one dog race. , • The Eastern International Dog • Derby held in the ancient city, of Quebec recently was a curious in- stance of the fascination this sport has for all kinds and conditions ef men. Never since the days of the war Were there gathered on .the streets of that city such crowds as - were -there to see the dogs start and finish, and the dramatic incidents of the race were followed by crowds around the bulletin boards ef the city as reports came in by telephone frorn various,points alorag the route of the race. The race was run in three heats, the distance averaging 43 miles n each day Whitt/ was by no means ' a hard day's work for the dogs. The total distance run was 131 miles and the runnieg time taken by the win- ning team was 15.50 hours. The race was won by Jean Lebell and his five dogs, a team belonging to the 13rown Corooration of Quebec, and one that earns its livelihood by carry- ing mails and supplies into the com- panies northern camps. That is the bare story of the race, easily enough told, but it is not so easy to tell of the tremendous inter- est taken in the race by the people of Quebec and the hundreds of visitors who had come from all over Canada and the United States to witness it. The Grande Allee, Quebec's show street, was every day lined with thous -ands of people to see the dogs start and finish, and if half the pro- mises made are lived up to, another year will see hundreds of dog teams owned and trained by Quebec's citi- zens, purely for the love of the game. Jean -Lebell, the winner, had un- doubtedly the best team for that kind of a race. Only one term could ex- actly describe them—they were moe- grels, and there's much to be said for the mongrel if the breeds that make up his varied parentage are of, the right sort. Jean Lebell's dogs were largely Great Danes, but here and there, there seemed'. to be a totich of the hound or even of the greyhound in them, and that may ac- count for their speed. The one Unit- ed States entry in the race was a magnificent team of huskies that owned Labrador as their original home. They were beautiful dogs, but they were not in good shape, or perhaps the story of the race might have been different. On each one of the three racing days the dogs came from the stables fresh and eager for the run. They set out on the course at ten minute inter- vals, and as each team shot away from the starting point it was given a splendid send-off. The finishes were much more exciting, end that of receives the last day was particularly so. On the first two days Lebell had finisher! first, although others of the eight .competing teams had started ahead of him. On the final heat he started ' last, and would have finished first but for an unfortunate accident. Another Broevii Corporation team, driven by Jim Skeene was the first to appear. It had started second, but passed. the first early in the race, and Lebell folowed about one minute behind. All through the series Le - bell had saved his dogs by taking them out of the harness alternately and giving them a rest in the sheet/. He had made a bet that he would For. the third time be the first in the stable. When about four miles from the finish and going strong one of his dogs suffered a cut foot e There was hard going ahead if that het was to be won, but Lebell never flinched. The dog came out of the harness, his foot was bound up and, wrapped in Lebell's coat, he finished the rest of the journey in the sleigh, and if ever a dog looked ashamed of himself as his comrades pulled to victory, that dog was the one. While Skeene beat Lebell to the finishing post, Lebell managed to get into the stable first, and "so won his bet. Lebell is a French-Canadian with a fine war record. He and his dogs are inseparable chums, and when it comes to endurance, the man is about as good as the dogs. He finished the race running beside his team and doing a good share of the pulling on the sleigh. He is to -day the hero of Quebec and the $1,000 prize and silver cup, which he won, is but a small part of the glory that fell to Another international dog race is practically /assured for Quebec next' year. The Chateau Vrontenac for this occasion bodied, a brilliant gath- ering of guests who were interested iet the race, and sotne of these have, announced that they will seee tits. the Veiled States IA well represented.
