Canned Potatoes
Latest Addition
What Is believed to be the only
white potato canning plant in the
world is now located at Palatka,
Florida, to the heart of Florida's po-
tato belt After many years of ex-
perimentation, the Northern Potato
Products Company has developed a
process for canning the smallest of
new Irish potatoes. 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. The most novel of these,
perhaps, is the thread of the spider,.
which le placed iu the optical system
,of the telescope as an aid in sighting,1
upon definite objects.

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,

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.
I Any sudden noise startles and sets ttte
heart palpitating violently, They can-
not sleep well at night; their hands
tremble and legs seem unable toksnit-
l port them. 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. In this re-
spect, the ice made be your artificial
refrigerator is far supertoi to mann.

Bank of England
Melts Million
The Bank of England has so many
sovereigns that it Is melting them
down by the million. -
It has received 40,000,000 of them
from abroad during the past twelve
months, and, as 'only about 600,000
have been exported, there is a large
unwanted surplus.
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. The new bars,
herefore, will have to Imo refined be -
ore the Bank of France will accept
them.
The time may conte, of souse, whoa
lie Bank of Engiaud will want more
sovereigns again, for, although it will
not issue any for hone circulation, it
applies them ,by millions for export
f required,
Formerly the public had the right
o take gold to the Mint for coining,
but this privilege is now withdrawn,
No sovereigns have been issued from
the Mlnt for public circulation since
1917, although in 1925 3,518,000 were
struck for the Bank of England.

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
