TR:ML RIDERS S IN THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES
There is a new and interesting
movement on foot in Canada these
days, and not only in Canada, for its
influence has spread far ani wide
since that day 2 years ago, when the
Order of Trail Riders of the Caned-.
Ian Rockies was transformed from a
mere beautiful idea into an actual
reality.
The greatness and beauty of this
"trail riding movement" has inspired
a charming little book whose part
author is one of Canada's outstand-
ing writers—Frederick Niven. lir.
Niven is widely known in America
and the Old Country, and his appre-
ciation of the Canadian West has
been evident in all his latest books,
such as "Hands Up "The Wolfer,"
"The Lady of the Crossing," "Sage -
Bush Stories," "Cinderella of Skoo-
kum Creek," and "Treasure Trail."
Now he has given us in "Trail Rid-
ing in the Canadian Rockies," recent-
ly published by the Canadian Pacific
Railway, a description of a trail rid-
er's day in the mountains. He tells
his story simply, yet so vividly that
reading it one becomes conscious of
beauty undreamt oft the eternal
peace that broods among the tangle
of woods and peaks; the trail.; un-
seen from the train, that wind
through narrow ribbons of tamarack
needles, soft and resilient; the thew -
ere. the birds, and the bee -loud
glades. He speaks of the great joy
'of lying down underneath the stars,
of waking to find morning on the mis-
ty mountains; and lastly of the eager-
ness of starting out upon a new day.
"The horses are saddled, the pack
string waits. We mount and ride in-
to the balsam scent, to the sight of
lonely lakes, blue • as torqueise, or
green as jade tucked away among
the woods, to visions of leagues of
forests out of which crags flaunt up
to the sky holding aloft the gleam-
ing glaciers, on these thin ribbons of
trails,•strewn with odorous dust or
old cones and tamarack needles, that
twine through the wonderland:"
It is a very wonderful experience
to go on one of the official rides that
the Order hold in the Rockies. Mr.
Niven says; and it is easy to believe
hint. This year members of the Or-
der, will- gather from all parts of the
World to hold their official rides, and
wind up with the annual "Pow -
Wow" to lee held this year in Ptar-
migan Valley, near lovely Lake
Louise,
"Trail Riding" is not only valuable
from the standpoint of the high •lit-
erary quality of Mr, Niven'a intro-
duction, but on account of the many
riding, camping, fishing and hunting
trips that are given in detail by pro-
minent members of the Order of
Trail hiders, such as Lieut. -Col. Phi-
lip A. Moore, E. N. Davis and Bill
Potts, a number of naps showing the
trails and bungalow camps in the
Rockies, and many fine photographs.
For all these reasons, therefore,
this little book is recommended to
you with the warning that if you are
not already a trail rider, you will be
after reading it.

The purchasing public is daily becoming
greater readers of advertisements, The reason
for this is that they profit by so doing. They
find the goads they want described in the right
manner, It is news to the purchaser.
That being the case, it behooves the wide•
awake and straight -dealing merchant to study
his advertising matter carefully, so ;that when
the customer comes in to buy, he or she will find
that the goods are as represented.
Those who do not read advertisements are
losers. Make it a part of your reading to go
over the advertisements of the merchants. By
so doing you will know where to find the best
bargains. Also you will learn whether the goods
are as represented.
Merchants are stllclying the needs of their
customers. Buy from the man who advertises
and you will not go astray.

GROW WINTER WHEAT

FILL i4ItE1i1NG.
Something of Its Advantages and
Something of the Melbods Which
Should Be Adopted.

Agriculture, Toronto.)
The seeding of winter wheat comes
In September, while the seeding of
spring wheat comes at t time or the
rush of spring wont, Whore help is
scarce this is a factor decidedly in
favor of autumn sown wheat.
Winter wheat excels as a nurse
orop. It is harvested earlier than
spring grown grains and thus gives
the clover crop a better chance to
compete for food and moisture.
Winter wheat is able to use plant
food in the soil lucre efficiently than
spring grains. Fail sowu crops util-
ize plant food material which other-
wise would be leached out by autumn
rains.
Winter wheat outylelds spring
wheat in old Ontario from 10-30
bushels per acre, It also gives a
great bulk of straw, so useful where
live stock are wintered.
Preparing the Soil for Wheat.
Soils for winter wheat' should be
pioughed two weeks or more before
planting time in order to allow set-
tling before seeding, Wheat requiree
a Arm, well compacted seed ,bed,
such brings the seed in close contact
with the particles of soil and enables
the roots to get a perfect contact with
the soil. A heavy rain following
ploughing is desired as an aid to
compacting the soil. When a lot of
vegetation has been ploughed under
or if the weather is dry it is neces-
sary to roll, cultipack and harrow
following the plough.
The surface of the seed bed.
should be loose and crumbly, with
enough fine soil to give perfect cover
and contact to the seed, Small lumps
—up to the size of a man's fist are
not objectionable on the winter
wheat field, as the frost action pul-
verises the lumps and leaves the sur-
face soil in good condition in the
spring. The lumps of soil also hold
the snow over the field giving pro-
tection to the wheat plant against
freezing and thawing,—L. Stevenson,
Dept, of Extension, 0. A. College.
Injury From Chemical Fertilizers.
When chemical fertilizer is applied
in the hill or drill, careful consider-
ation must be given to the possibility
of injuring the germinating seedling.
Chemicals high in readily available
plant food such as nitrate of sodaor
ammonium sulphate or muriate of
potash are most injurious, while
phosphates and organic nitrogen are
less so. Large seeds such as corn,
beans and others that germinate
quickly, are more apt to be injured
than these that germinate slowly.
The soil moisture also has an influ-
ence when chetnicals are applied as
it determines the degree of dilution,
hence there is less danger on clay
or muck, than there is on the drier
sandy soils. The sandy soils hold so
little moisture that the chemical goes
into a more concentrated solution.
and hence is more injurious to the
germinating seed. Best results are
secured Where the fertilizer is applied
in two streams to the sides and a
little below the level of the seed.
On Light soils where heavy appli-
cations are made it is often desir-
able to apply a portion of the fer-
tilizer at planting time, the balance
to be applied as a side dressing later.

Warns Water for Laying Hens.
Ice in the water pan will not help
egg production,
If
trouble is experienced during
the very cold weather, in keeping the
pouitlty drink, water or milk from
freezing, it may be overcome by using
any one or several devices, Tho
Vacuum water fountain so constructed
that warns water put in it will keep
warm until used, lasting all day,
gives very good service. If the house
is equipped with electric light there
are a number of device such as "hot
points" and "carbon bulbs" that may
be suspended partly in the water or
Milk to give the necessary heat to
keep the drink palatable. Thele are
kerosene heated fountains available
that are generally satisfactory when
given close attention as to adjust-
ment and cleanliness. The birds must
drink if they are to produce, and
snow or Ice water are, not generally
palatable to high prociucc•rs.—L, Stev-
enson, Director of Extension, 0, A.
College, Guelph.
Beeping Track of the Farm Income.
In every other line business worthy
of a name, record is kept of the re-
ceipts and expenditures, A study is
made of these business records.
Knowledge is accumulated and im-
provement made. The farm business
Cannot make much progress toward
Providing an increased income until
the farmer adopts a system of record
keeping, and studies his balance
sheet, every week, every month and
every year. Such study reveals the
reasons for profit and the cause or
causes of loss on operations. It le
only once in a great while that we
meet a farmer making much progress
Without keeping records of his farm
operations. The great majority need

A Poultry Loss.
The egg -eating habit once acquired
by members of the poultry Hock is
difficult to stop. Prevention is easier
than breaking the birds of the habit.
Birds that have an abundant supply
of oyster shell or lime before them

anted ration, with abundant green
Vied seldom develop the egg -eating
habit, Arrange the nests at least
eighteen Inches shove the floor and
have plenty of them SO that 1f a hen'

"There is ne chance of another
general strike in Great Britain for
a generation and perhaps longer,"
is the view of Victor Suhr, news
editor of the Evening News, Lon-
don, who spent a short vacation in
Canada recently. He thought the
miners' strike in Grieat Britain
would not be settled before the fall
and perhaps not until the winter.
The fishing season opens again
August 15 on Lesser Slave Lake and
Lake La Biche hi Alberta. There
are approximately 100,000 pounds
of white fish to be shipped during
the season from Lake La Biche and
over half a million pounds from
Lesser Slave Lake as well as a
considerable quantity of jackfish
and pickerel from both.
Canada's estimated wheat yield as
indicated by crop conditions on June
30 is 348,626,000 bushels. The
yield estimated for the Prairie Pro-
vinces according to the Bureau of
Statistics report is 327,226,000
bushels and for the rest of the Do-
minion 21,400,060 bushels. Total es-
thnated yield for oats is 458,840,000
bushels and for barley, 100,624,000
bushels: For rye the total estimated
yield is 11,762,000 bushels and for
flaxseed 8,419,000 bushels.
The Manitoba Government has
commenced an agricultural survey
of unoccupied lands in the province
which when completed will provide
the incoming settle]. with all avail-
able information on such lands. A
total of 2,474 homesteads have been
taken up in Western Canada this
year. All post-war immigration
records were broken recently when
1,681 immigrants passed through
Winnipeg recently in 48 hours.
The Earl of Clarendon, British
Under-Secretary for Dominion af-
fairs, and T. Macnaughton, chair-
man of the overseas committee, are
making a tour of Canada to investi-
gate conditions ander which the
3,000 -family scheme is being handled
in this country. They are issuing
glowing reports of what they have
seen. The full three thousand fam-
ilies will have been brought over
here by the end of next year.
A civic vacation party arranged
by the Kiwanis Club of Shenandoah,
Iowa, recently passed through To-
ronto and Montreal en route to Lon-
don, England, There were 600 who
availed themselves of the trip and
most of these had never travelled
outside the United States before in
their lives. They will pass through
Stratford -on -Avon and Oxford on
their way to London and will make
a side -trip to Paris and the French
battlefields during their stay.
"Association football in the Do-
minion of Canada bids fair within
the next few years to become a rival
to the brand of soccer played by
the major leagues in Great Britain,"
was the comment of Joe Smith, cap-
tain of the All -England Association
Football team which has just com-
pleted its seven -week tour of Can-
ada. The team travelled close on
ten thousand miles en its tour and
played twenty games against all
kinds of teams. They did not lose
a single game and scored 105 goals
in all with only 18 registered
against them.
University men, municipal and
government representatives, doc-
tors, priests, notaries, lawyers and
newspapermen made up the major-
ity of the party of 100 people who
took part in the across-Oanada tour
of the Universite de Montreal re-
cently completed. They were feted
and welcomed by civic, university
and government heads throughout
their tour and return from it with
a far clearer notion of the prob-
lems of the West than when they
started, The tour was run on C.P.R.
lines under tate auslniees of the Uni-
versity of Montreal, and was the
second annual trip that has hoer{

Historic Hounds Which Tradition
Says Went Into the Ark.
Top -hats, trousers, and a Noah's
Ark ancestry are the principal fea-
tures of the latest feminine fancy in
dogs.
Although Pekes and Porus still
have a large following, and lovers of
the Alsatian hound and the Saluki,
with which the sheikhs of Arabia
used to ]lust the nimble gazelle, are
steadily increasing in favor among
the fair sex.
These graceful animals look very
much like an English greyhound, but
have long, silky coasts. In 'addition,
the Afghan has a quaint bunch of
hair, known to fanelers as the "top -
bat," standing upright on his head,
and his legs aro adorned with long,
shaggy tresses from shoulder to paw,
a peculiarity which has earned for
him the description of "the dog in
trousers," From a distance that is
exactly what he looks like,
The Saluki and the Afghan are
admitted to be the oldest breeds of
dog known to mankind, and there is
some difference of opinion as to which
came into the world first. A well-
known show judge believes, however,
that the saluki is the father of the
species.
Many years ago, when all the
world was young, he says that old
grandpa Saluki wandered with his
master's caravan from Arabia into
Persia, where his progeny became
sturdy settlers and developed a big-
ger frame. Roaming further afield,
he breed established itself in Af-
ghanistan, and there, while remain -
ng true to type, grew a stronger coat
plus the "top -hat and trousers,"
which were evolved as ae extra pro-
'ction against the more severei1,n
canine.
They say bobbed hair isn't as much
trouble as long hair; and if you
have your teeth puleld out you won't
have to brush them either..

Bass of t1~pe .W. cross 1
The enooda and fighting qualities of the bass of the
north country are fully explained in tbts article,
written by Ozark Ripley, the well-known authority on
angling:
Somehow or other, I am never impressed with the
ubiquity of bass mit* I travel into the north parts,
Mr. Micropterus, better known as tht small mouth bass,
often as red-eye, seems to tbrive, somehow, twherover
you place him. In the South he lives only in swift
mountain streams, but in the North country his'abiding
places are in lakes, where he grows to be a big, lusty
fellow, broad, strong and willing to tickle any offering
en angler Bonds his way.
I thought for a time that the range of the small
mouth, as far as the north country was concerned,
was, limited to Lake Ponage, the. KaWartha Lakes and
others in. Ontario, where he is especially largo and a
vicious fighter; but I found him up in the Laurentians,
even to Manlwaki, also along that rail route which
runs from Montreal to Monl, Lawler in Quebec, This
makes mo think that, irrespective of the cold waters,
this fighting chap twill thrive anywhere you give him a
chance.
There are
arts or the north ovate

the puzzled a bit to find the base, unless he strives to
bring a'rtse in a proper manner. They will tanto the
fly with greater avidity than a brook, rainbow or
brown trout, but the offering has 10 be made to their
lilting or hot at all. If base in the north country kite
one thing better than all oleo it Is a Pleating fly, 'They
love them; they attack them whatever the shape or
color. But they have moods like other game fish, and
Many days no response of any kind conies. Even if
you have made a long trip and have fished northern.
bass waters Without immediate results there is no rea
aon whyyou should be disappointed. They will do
business when they are in the mood and at no other
time.
I remember I once fished near Pine Rapids. Camp
in the French River District. For four .days I did
not get a shale rise, ,though I felt they were most
profitable bass waters as they had delivered' the goods
nicely during the previous season. .All the burl there
had been a driving wind from. the northeast, Sud-
denly It changed to a mild west one on the afternoon
of the fifth day. All at once bass began to rise and
I never saw them do it so fact nor in. Such numbers
in all my life, They had found my luresand the
weather 'to their lilting and continued their striking
mood for many days.
We make long journeys to the north country for .bass
and other game fish. It invariably pays to be provided,
with an assortment of luras. There are days, when
they 'will look at nothing but the underwater hiss,
then at what we might call the semi -underwater baits,
and, too, as sure as fate, will, come hours when only
'floating flies or casting baits will tempt them, The
man who tries continually and is equipped with every-
thing right, usually is the one who tomos home With
the record -breakers,
