These potatoes formerly went to waste. Now, thanks to the developments, the housewife can serve new potatoes all the year round. The potatoes are first blanch- ed in very hot water. They are then conveyed by the machines and drop- ped into sterilized cans. Following this, all air is removed from the cans and the maehtue seals them up. The new adaptation opens up a different field in the canning Industry. Pro- ducts that may have beau thrown away or perhaps converted into potato chips, will now be available its original and wholesome torn:, The house- wife will not need to worry about serving her guests with black potatoes in those seasons whets new potatoes are unavailable, Nothing seems to displease the hostess more than large disoolcred spots and she has frequ- ently attempted to use milk and bleaching substances added to the water in which the potatoes are boil- ed in an effort to reduce discolora- ., tion. Now that is no more. Spider's Thread in Surveys In the-coustruction of surveyors'in- ;etruments, utilized for the purpose of i surveying and mapping our country, use is made of a number of different materials.

Announcements of tate extension of the work of the experimental farms of the Dominion calfs attention to the part played by these iustitutons in the development of agriculture tit this country. Canada's baaic industry has made great strides iu recent years and the contribution of science to this pro- gress has been substantial. The pro- gramme of the Department of Agricul- ture for tate current year provides for the strengthening of experimental farms in several directions, These include additions to the staff of field husbandmen, cerealists, bacteriolog- ists and ether scientists. It is from the cereal division that perhaps the greatest services of Mance to agrioul- ture have come, the nlost'otitstanding being tate discovery of Marqute wheat, The work of the Dominion Lixperi- mental Farms, begun only in 188G, at the present time includes 26 Experi- mental Farms and Stations with a total of 12,813 acres as compared with 3,472 acres on the original five farms. It would be impossible to enumerate, much leas describe, .these operations liere; but one outstanding achieve- ment deserves special mention. Wheat of the Prairie Provinces is famous for is hard, dry, glutinous quality. Apar froi' the effects Of the climate and soil, its success has been largely due to the excellence of the Red Fife variety, which was discovered asci. dentally iu 1842 by an Ontario farmer tamed David rife. In 1903, however, an improved variety known as "Mar- quis" was produced by ;he Cereal Di- vision of the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa. During the Met ten years the sue - Pees of this variety has been such that it'has now almost entirety superseded the Red Fife. The use of this near variety of wheat has Manias -4 by mil- Iions of dollars annually the revenue derived from wheat -growing by the farmers of 'West,tern Canada, Still more recent procucts are varieties called "Garnet" and "Reward:' These are now being tried and multiplied up- on an extensive scale and great hopes are entertained for their future. Progress tliustrated A few figures will illustrato the im- mense advance trade by agriculture in Canada. From 1890 to 1929 the area under field crops has grown from about 15,6 million acres to over 59 mil- lion acres, an increase of 282 per cent. during the last forty years. it is in regard to wheat that agripultural pro green has been most reniarkahle. For ten years after Confederation. .the wheat crop rarely exceeded 25,000,000 bushels, and Imports. of wheat and flour exceeded by nearly 0,000,000 boatels, It was not-unti11898 that the wheat yield exceeded 60,000,000, and and elevens reached what wee then tits record total pf twenty-four and one-half million bushels. Seven years later the production of wheat exceed- ed 100,000,000 bushels. In 1911 there were yields well over 200,000,00 bush- els, and in 1915 came the phenomenal record :of 393,5300,000 bushels, the average yield per acre being 26 busk -i cis. During six of the last seven years the total of 1915 has, howevr, been ex- eeded, the record being reached, in 928, with 566,000,000 bushels: 'Last ear there was. a short crop of only 94,000,000 bushels, Women Successful • In Selling Planes Washington Women are compet- ing successfully with seen in nearly all phases.. or ayiatien, the air,travel divlsimi .of. the American- Automobile Association rinds in surveying the .field, Pllot's licenses, have been granted to 250, women. in. the, United Statee.

People "All Nerves" What to Do if You Find Your- self in This Condition. The sort of thing that specialists call nervous debility is the run-down condition caused by over -work and household worries. The sufferers find themselves tired, low-spirited and un- able to keep their mind on anything.

Such a condition is indeed , pitiable, Doctoring the nerves with sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a supply of good red blood, Therefore the treatment for ner- vousness and run -do -wit health is Dr, Williams' Piuk Pills, which promptly build up attd enrich tete blood. The revived appetite, the strengthened nerves, improved spirits and new strength which come atter a course of these pills will delight every sufferer.

What Ice to Use in Drinks One very often hears stories about the relative purity of artificial ice when compared with natural ice, One also hears youngsters proclaiming that the white areas in at•tifliclal ice are impurities, or that artificial ice has an ammonia odor about.lt. Ordin- arily, artificial ice is much better than natural ice for use la cooling drinks, While ice Is generally crack- ed up and dropped into the Hold- to be cooled, the practice is not to be generally recommended, This- Is not because the manufactured ice is impure when made, but because while it 12 being handled, delivered or other- wise carried, it is subject to contact with bands not altogether clean. Yea have often watched ice cakes slip from grasp atid fall into unclean places from which the Cakes were recovered, and then piaced in your refrigerator without even an attempt at removal 'of the dirt.

The bulk 01 these Imported sore - reigns, witch have a total weight of more than 300 tons, have come from Australia and South Africa, where the gold is mined, and is minted at the local branches of the Royal Mittt, Millions, however, have come from foreign countries, including a ship- ment of 2,600,000 from South America earlier this year. The sovereign may be a curiosity here, but it is a coin regarded highly by international banker's. Large quau titles are lyhtg safely in bankers vaults all over the world. The Bank of England at the present time has a gold reserve of £157,000, 000 (5795,000,000), which is rather less than the reserve atthis time last year. From this sum it meets all foreign de- mands for gold. Coins into Bars Anyone in pre-war days could get a £5 note changed into sovereigns at the Bank, but all that is altered now Gold, of course, eau stili be obtained to unlimited quantities In exchange for notes, but only in bars of 400 ounces, costing about £1,700 ($8,500). The general public theretore do not often assert their legal right. The large quantities of sovereigns received has resulted in a reduction of the amount of gold held in the form of bars. ' The present melting down, there- fore, will remedy the position, as the melted come will be moulded into bars, The new bars, however, will be Dif- ferent from those formerly sold as they, like sovereigns will consist of standard or 22 -carat gold, containing one -twelfth alloy, whereas previously bar gold sold was pure gold Withdrawn Privilege The new arrangement is not pleas - ug everybody—notably the Bank of 'Prance, which insists on receiving its old in fine forte only.

' Smoke Reduced In Manchester Manchester, Eng.—During the pant 30 years industrial smoke emission is the Manchester area has been reduced by approximately 75 per cent. accord- ing to statistics furnished by J. S. Taylor, assistant medical oMcer of health, Manchester, in a report just issued. Virtually all of the present day smoke nuisance is traceable to the use of bituminous coal tor heat- ing purposes, both in the factory furnace and the domestic hearth. "In Manchester today 3,000,000 tons of coal are burned annually and about 750,000 are used for domestic pur- poses," Mr. Taylor declares. "As a re- sult 20,000 tons of solid matter fail annually in the city area and tar and acids to the amount of 75,000 and 200,000 gallons respectively. in spite of this fact during the last 30 years the industrial smoke omission in the city has been reduce:. by approxim- ,1 ately 75 per cent."
