THE WASTE OF FIRE.
From time to time I have referred
in these columns to Canada's appalling
fire waste, and now once again I take
up the question, hoping that the
seriousness of a subject which has
reached the proportions of a•national
calamity, will excuse any possible -rei-
teration of the facts. For the first
eight months of the current year the
losses in Canada, according to the
Monetary Times, totalled $15,381,009,
an average of $1,922,000 a month, $63,-
000 per day, $2,600 an hour, and $44
per minute.
Think of it ! Wasting, without hope
of an equivalent or replacement, $44
every sixty seconds that we live. In
the year 1010, I still quote the same
authority, the fire losses in Canada
amounted to over $23,500,000. Multi-
ply this amount by four, in other
words the loss in Canada by fire in
four years, and we have a sum equal
to the value of this year's wheat crop
in the Western Provinces, Imagine
burning our wheat one year out of
every four, but this is exactly what
we are doing. The method of waste is
a little different, but the results are
the same.
In the first eight months of 1911 we
burned up 250 people, as compared
with 2558 for the entire year of 1910
and 219 for 1009, In the 32 months
beginning January, 1909, we have
burned up 728 people in this land of
peace and sunshine, a monthly aver-
age of 23. A battalion of men, wo-
men and children roasted to death in
two years and a half owing to care-
lessness, inadequate fire laws, defec-
tive building laws, incendiarism, and
a too promiscuous writing of fire busi-
ness pblicies. - [Toronto Saturday

RAILWAY PROGRESS.
Substantial progress is being made
in all directions in the construction
and opening for traffic of the lines of
the Grand Trunk Pacific. Recent re-
ports given out announced the com-
pletion of the line to Fitzhugh,a
point in the Jasper National Park, 1027
miles west of Winnipeg and service
will be immediately extended thereto,
and it is expected that 50 or 60 miles.
addition beyond Fitzhugh will be
graded for steel this fall. This would
bring steel to Tete Jaune Cache. -
Work on the Prince Albert Branch
is being rapidly pushed forward and
steel has been laid as far as Waka,
68 miles from the main line, and grad-
ing on this line has been completed
within 24 miles of Prince Albert.
On the branch from Regina to the
International Boundary, 25 miles of
steel will be completed this fall and
60 per cent. of the grading on the
Regina -Moose Jaw branch has been
finished.
Construction work on the Brandon
Branch which ruus south from the
main line at Harte, a distance of 24
miles is being commenced this week,
and when complete will give the
Grand Trunk Pacific the shortest line
between Winnipeg and Brandon.
(trading has practically been com-
pleted on the first 50 miles of the
Biggar -Calgary Branch, and work
was started last week on 50 miles of
the line from Battleford West
through the Cut Knife District to-
wards Wainwright, Alberta,
On the Tofield-Oalgary branch steel
has been laid to the Red Deer River.
The above gives a good idea of how
the work on the branches is being
advanced, in addition to which the
Main lines are being pushed forward
actively.
Two Bruce Vacancies.
R, E. Truax and Hugh Clark having
to resign from the Ontario Legislature
to run for the Dominion will neces-
sitate two elections in Bruce to fill the
vacancies. It is expected the elections
will be held in about six weeks.
South Bruce Grits have selected Oeo,
Anderson as their victim and the
Centre Bruce unfortunate will likely
be 1, Shoemaker of Paisley.

The time for the opening of Sehoals
and colleges is fast approaching, and
many young men now on the farms
are eonbidering the advisability of
taking a college course. The young
student about to enter upon a college
Or. university course is often undecid-
ed as to what special line of study it
would be best for him to follow.
Every year, ye r, scores, yes, hundreds
-of boys leave the farm to get an
education, and most of them go to
the universities, where they recoil e
a learning which does not tend to
give them the best impressions of
farming as a profession. To tbs
boy or young man who bas a liking
for the farm, and who is desirous
of obtaining a good education which
will be of practical use to him in
the advancement of things pertaining
to agriculture, no better course can .he
recommended than that which is
outlined by the agricultural col-
leges. The grrat variety of problems
which are involved in scientific
agriculture makes it necessary that
the person who chooses this as his
life occupation have a wide and varied
experience and knowledge in order
to make the most out of it financially.
But, apart altogether from things
financial, the knowledge obtained will
be of great value, because it enables
the person to understand and ap-
preciate the phenomena of nature, as
well as giving an insight into why
certain things are so. Many of us
know that various practices have
given certain results, but few stop
to ask why. It is when the man
develops an inquiring mind that
he begins to be a student. The
agricultural college is good place to
arouse the curiosity,. and the course
is one which prepares the industrious
student for his work when he leaves
to put into practice what he has.
learned. A college course is merely
a commencement in education. Its
aim is to start people in the right
direction and prepare them for their
life work, throughout which the
person should be always learning
something new. It is a sad case
where education ceases when the
college is left behind, All agree that a
college course is a good thing and,
before entering upon it weigh the
matter thoroughly, and, where con-
ditions warrant it, take a course in
agriculture. It is one of the most
inexhaustible phases of learning, and
will give the brightest student ample
opportunity to exercise all his avail-
able kray matter.
MONEY IN THE ORCHARD.
The following from the Lucknow
Sentinel shows that there is money in
an orchard if well -cared for. Huron
county farmers miss it if they neglect'
their orchard :-
In Kenneth Cameron's apple orch-
ard a thousand dollars' worth of
fruit is hanging on the trees. That
means at the prices he is likely to
obtain a yield of between three and
four hundred barrels. .Before the big
wind storm a month or two ago, there
were over five hundred barrels there,
but after the wind, the ground under
the trees in the less sheltered portions
of the orchard was littered with fallen
fruit. Barrel for barrel, however, the
loss to Mr. Cameron was not what at
first sight might have been supposed,
for the fruit was then far from
maturity, and the dropping off of the
undeveloped fruit meant a larger
growth for those remaining. At the
present time it is a revelation to walk.
about among the rows of trees and
note how the branches are loaded and
bending to the ground with their
lusious burdens. Spies, Baldwins,
and Ben Davies are all a good yield.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Cameron's orchard occupies ten aures
of the best wheat land on his farm.
To -day it is worth to him probably
twice the value of any two hundred
acre farm in the county of Huron,
When will the old county of Huron,
one of the beat and richest in all On-
tario, waken up to the fact of the
possibilities lying at her doorway ?
DEATH AFTER SCRATCH.
Morris Quatzam, an eleven -year-old
Windsor boy, fell off his bicycle and
scratched his wrist. He thought noth
ing of the injury, but blood poise
set in and he is dead,
Such incidents as these - by n
means infrequent --ought to make peo
ple realize the danger that may Iie
even in the smallest flesh wound.
Take a simple illustration. When a
knife, a rusty needle, a splinter of
dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a
thorn, scratches the hand, the latter is
inoculated with germs, of which the
air about us is full,
The way to avoid serious results is
to cleanse the wound and apply Zam-
B•uk. Gam l3uk is a powerful, yet
painless germ -killer, and when applied
to the broken skin is absorbed into
the tissue, instantly destroying the
germs that spread disease and stop-
ping the pain and smarting. That is
why Zam-I3uk is so popular with
children.
The flesh thus soothed and purified,
the wound is made perfectly healthy,
and all poison and cause of festering
removed. Ilaving done this, Zam-Buk
then proceeds to heal the wound or
sore, and new healthy tissue is built
up in a quick, painless and perfect
manner.
Zam-Buk must not be confused with
ordinary ointments, Zam-Buk is a
unique preparation possessing anti-
septic, soothing and healing qualities
that are not to be found together in
any other preparation. It is not only
a unique healing balm, but it is also
a akin food. For all akin diseases and

DAIRYING BRINGS PROSPERITY
IN 1'.E.I.
A Well Known Farmer Writes of ills
Native Island.
Twenty years ago only two or three
factories in Prince Edward Island
were making butter and cheese and
that to a very limited extent. Cir-
cumstances forced us farmers into
dairying. About that time the farms
became exhausted to such an rxtcnt
by the growing of cereals and sending
them away to the neighboring pro-
vinces that farming became unpro-
fitable and discouraging to the youth-
ful generation of our province. We
were annually losing a considerable
number of the prime of our young
manhood.
The government was quick to sec
the
trouble bio an
d decided to establish
a cheese factory on the cooperative
system at New Perth, Queen's Coun-
ty, and pay the manager of the factory
for a limited time. Other parts of the
province • soon became enthusiastic
over the matter and formed cooper-
ative factories nearly all over the.
Island until they were almost crowd-
ing -each other out. We farmers be-
came educated to the conservation of
our soil by keeping more stock and
feeding the products of our farms at
home instead of sending our • raw
material to the neighboring provinces
to build the farms. there,
We farmers have awakened to the
possibilities of our soil and the con-
servation of our farms has been taken
up in earnest. One travelling through
our farming sections where dairying
is most practised will see a marked
improvement In the farms and people.
GEO. PEIILEY
Mr. Purley though a business man is
a country man at heart and spends
his vacations amongst the beautiful
streams of Ontario.
We are happy and comfortable.
We have proved that our farms can
be restored to their former fertility
by feeding the products of the soil
on the farm and at the same time we
can increase our own wealth. If our
own farmers will only continue in
the business, which has lifted many
of us from poor circumstances to
prosperity, it will only be a few years
until more of the world will envy the
name long ago given to our province,
the "Garden of the Gulf."
WILD OATS AND 'WINTER
Will Frosts In Winter Kill Oats That
Are Left in the Land.
Winter . frosts will not kill wild
oats, unless they had germinated the
previous season. Frost will not des-
troy the germinating power of thor-
oughly matured grains unless they
have been very moist before frost
came. Get the wild oats to germinate
in the fall. Then the frost will finish
them.
We would advise plowing down a
piece of wheat badly infested with
wild oats, as a green manure. Of
course, you must be guided by cir-
cumstances, but in all cases do not
let wild oats, or any other noxious
weed, produce seed. In fact, wild
oats should be turned under before
theyare headed out.
It is usually very destructive . to
the spring wheat plant to alloy; stock
to pasture it in the spring. After
pasturing it may comp on and grow
to a good crop, but the stock destroy
considerable by pulling it up, and
trampling it" with their feet, to say
nothing of the damage done by biting
off the young plants. It is very poor
policy to let stock on a wheat field.
BLADDER CAMPIO1 A BAD WEED
A weed that is becoming very se-
rious in many parts of Ontario is the
bladder Campion. It is a deep-rooted
perennial, and unless taken in good
time becomes a very serious pest. It
has appeared on my farm recently.
I know it did not come,jn seed grain,
and the only explanation is that it
was carried there by birds. Unless,
therefore, we are content to have
bladder campion a constant menace,
neighbors must cooperate in destroy-
ing the weeds.
"When first found in a district this
weed is comparatively easy to over-
Come. It it is spudded out and a
handful of salt put in the hole, the
