The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have procured samples of apples grown in the Kitsumkalum Valley, ninety miles east of Prince Rupert. These apples are of different varieties, beautiful in their coloring, and the flavor is in every respect up to the perfect brands grown in Ontario, and entirely unlike the inferior flavored fruit grown under irrigation in the more southerly regions and in practi- cally all of the Pacific Coast States. The specimens came from the or- chard of Mr. D. Stewart, who has about fifteen acres ander cultivation, and they represent the first grown on the operated line of the Grand Trunk Pacific In the valleys of the Kitsumkalum, Lakelse and Copper rivers, with other areas along the Skeena River, there should be approximately 300,000 acres of ideal fruit lands placed under culti- vation in comparatively few years, and much of this land can be procured' by pre-emption in 160 acre lots, the only charge being $1.00 per acre in addition to the residence requirements of the law. It is confidently predicted that this territory will become the centre of a new and greater fruit dis- trict in British Columbia. At Prince Rupert this summer strawberries grown 'along the Skeena River and in the valleys of the Kitsumkalum, Lakelse and Copper rivers came into market for the first time in considerable quantities, and the fruit is reported to be superior to anything grown on this continent, being extremely high colored, and e sweet and fine a flavor as wild strawberries ; their size was remark- able, running as large as a good crab- apple or a small snow apple. There will no doubt be a class of settlers in this section of the cquntry who are looking for and will get tremendous returns for their labour at comparatively email expense, Lucknow. Complaint has been made that a cer- tain. hen -house in Lucknow has been visited several times after night by other than the owner of the same, Wm. Spindler has disposed of his interest in the implement business of Spindler and Johnston to John Mc- Qoll of Blyth, Mrs. N. Campbell has closed up her restaurant for the winter months and with daughter Lorna, has gone to spend the winter with friends in Grand Bend, Frank McIntosh was taken to Wingham hospital on Wednesday to undergo an operation for appendicitis. He was taken seriously ill on Sunday last. After a consultation, physicians decided that an operation was his only hope. His many friends will anxious- ly await word of the outcorae. At an enthusiastic meeting of boys, parents and business men in Lucknow Council Chamber last Friday evening steps were taken to establish Bruce County Y. M. C. A. in Lucknow, A Board of directors was chosen, com- mittees wore appointed, and every- thing made ready for the final organi- zation. A number of beautiful paintings, the work of Miss Ida Joynt, aro at present on exhibition in A. T. Davison's window. The editor of the Sentinel is not an art critic, but it needs no more than a sense of the beautiful to appreciate the delicate and life -like color work that has come from Miss Joynt's brush. POOR JIM. 'You have appendicitis," said the doctor man to Jim, "And I must operate at once, or else your chance is slim." "You shall not touch a knife to me," was James' firm reply ; "I'll have no operation, and I ain't a -going to die." "Unless I cut," tho doctor said, "you'll surely pass away ; "You will be dead, believe me sir, by two o'clock to -day." So Jim was scared and yielded. The carving was a shock ; But Jim was very thankful that he lived at two o'clock. For doctors know their business, and it's very plain to see That this one saved Jim's life, because he didn't die till three. GOOD GOODS PRODUCE WANTED � a KING BROS.

Mrs. Wilson, 110 Wickson Ave,, To- ronto, says ;-"About out years ago a sore spot appeared on the right side of my face. Vale spot increased in size until it became about half an inch i diameter andverypainful, n i G p a n ul, I went to a doctor, but the ointment he gave me did not have any good effect. The sore continued to discharge freely, and was most painful. I had it cauterized, tried poultices and all kinds of salves, but it was no good, and I continued to suffer from it for four years. "A sample of Zam-Buk was one day given to me, and I used it. Although the quantity was so small,it seemed to do me some . good, so I purchased a further supply. "Each box did me more and more good, and, to my delight, before I had been usiug Zam-Buk three weeks, I saw that it was going to heal the sore. In less than a month it was healed. "I know a lady in the east of the city, whose husband suffered for years with an open sore on his leg. On my recommendation, 'Lam-Buk was tried in that case. The other day when I saw her, she told me that it had heal- ed the sore completely. "My daughter, who lives in Leth- bridge Alta„ has also used Zam-Buk with the same satisfactory result. I think it is, beyond all doubt, the finest healing balm known." Such is the opinion of all persons, who have really tried Zam-Buk. It is a sure cure for eczema, piles, absces- ses, ulcers, scalp sores, ringworm,. cuts, burns, scalds, bruises, and all skin injuries and diseases 50c a box, all druggists and stores, or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price. In case of skin disease use also Zam- Buk soap, 25e tablet. Household Hints. Apples cut in irregular blocks will bake more quickly in a pie than thin slices. When piled in a pie there is more opportunity for the heated air to come in contact with the fruit than when it is packed closely together in thin slices. Bake cookies on the bot- tom of inverted dripping pane. * This prevents them from burning on the bottom and they are much easier to remove from the dripping tine. Use chopped dates instead of the custom- ary raisins in the rice pudding. It is a delicious change, though simple. One-fourth teaspoon of soda added to the water in which cabbage or onions are cooking will, in a great measure, prevent disagreeable odors. Cook them uncovered. By this method they will retain their natural color. These Had Sinned. • They came down on the Alberta on Monday -those twenty-six bad men of the West -and in the after- noon boarded the train for their future• honae in Central prison, To- ronto. It was to be their last ride in God's free air for many days, yet they took it philosophically, those twenty-six criminals who were fetter- ed And chained together like so many dogs. They bad sinned,against society and had hardened themselves to bear the punishment their own actions merited. From Port Arthur, Fort WIlliam and many other western cities they came, and as they journey- ed on their way, curious crowds fol- lowed them and scrutinized the face of each prisoner, as he turned. In some cases the latter dropped bis eyes and turned away but the majori- ty of them returned the stare and neither winced nor flinched at what should and would have been to many, a trying ordeal. Conspicuous though among his comrades was an old gray haired doctor who had abused the privileges of his profession and a boy yet in his teens. These two could be singled out because of their superi- or appearance, but the others, who were all branded with the mark of crime, sat chained together in the coach set apart for their accommoda- tion and unconcernedly received the cigarette papers and tobacco doled out to them by their guards. The appear- ance of the gang as it passed through, furnished food for thought which should be taken as a warning to all those evilly inclined. -[Owen Sound Herald. will like a the fine flavor of Red Rose Tea.

HLVAR d0LD 54 bush Your Gtrocat Will Retcornrtldlnd ft �FflRM AND FIELD TRAC'TIOr PLOWING Pays runners to Use Steam er Gasoline. On, the large farms of the. Great Plains and the ranches of California traction engines both steam and gasoline - are used to an increasing extent in farming operations, espe- cially in plowing land The make- oklft oatfits formerly used for this purpose have been largely replaced by .heavier and stronger engines and gang plows especially designed for this use, The advantages of traction plowing are t1) that the work can be rushed when conditions aro favorable; (2) that the work can be done with et smatlbr force of hands, and fewer horses have to be kept; (3) in hot, dry weather engines can be used when horses could not stand the work; (4) with an engine it is pos- sible to plow very difficult soils, and also to plow deeper, than with horses; and (5) under favorable conditions, the cost of traction plower has been brought lower than that of plowing with horses. The steam engines weigh from seven to twenty tons, range from 20 to 50 horse power, cost from $1,500 to $6,000, and will plow from fifteen to fifty acres a day. A traction plowing outfit consists of (1) an engine; (2) the plows or dicks arranged in gangs, and (3) miscellaneous conveniences for car- rying supplies, making repairs, etc. The size and cost of the outfit and the amount of work it will do depend largely on the number of plows operated. Timothy and Clover. Sohn Burroughs, the American naturalist, says that in all his ram- bles In England bo has seen but one 'head of timothy grass. Although, he says, this grass is of European origin 1[ON. R. 1'. ItOBLIN, Manitoba's ]Farmer Premier Mr. Robin was born, reared, and made his living on the farm. it seems quite unknown among Eng- lish and Scotch farmers. The reason for its absence is prob- ably found, as Hoard's Dairyman sug- gests, uggests, in the fact that British farm- ers have discovered that timothy has about the least nutriment in it of any of the cultivated grasses. One pound of well cured clover hay contains double the flesh -making and sustain- ing qualities that a pound of timothy does, while a pound of alfalfa hay is nearly four times as rich in protein timothy. ' Not only this, but while timothy robs the land of fertilty, clover adds to the productive powers of this soil. Thanks largely to the teaching of the late Wh. Renliie clover is now more largely grown than timothy in this Province, and to this fact is largely due the gradual improvement in the quality of the soil in the best farming sections of On- tario.

This is just like selling soil fertility. Science has taught, and it is to -day a generally accepted bo - lief, that stock must be kept in suffi- cient number to utilize roughages and furnish manure if the land is to be kept in an increasingly productive conditio•i. To dispose of the stock therefore, does not seem a sensible move, particularly at a time when the soil is being put to a severe test through drougth To produce soma sort of pasture that will be a cheap and satisfactory feed for tho sheep, that will be an improver of ,the soil and wilt enable one to keep his stock, seems to bo the ideal solution of the problem - and the ever -willing rape Want can be relied on to meet these requirements. We say the ever -will- ing rape plant for the reason that It grows under almost any conditions and at almost any time. It can be sown this year on fields from which grain has been harvested, and if gives half a chance will produce a fine and large supply of feed. 7'lelds of Danish Farms: J. II. Moonrad, writing from Dens mark in Hoard's Dairyman, says that the average yield on banish farms for four years are reported by the Seoland experiment committee and the grain yield per acre averaged for rye, 2,210 lbs.; for wheat, 2,600 lbs.; for barley, 2,357 lbs.; for oats, 2,671 lbs.; and for mixed grain, 2,650 lbs., giving tis a general average for grain ,of 2,467 lbp, Lady Bron ho Rider.
