Fertilizer Tests on Potatoes
During the past summer the De-
utment of Chemistry, O. A. C., in
I -operation with the Boys' Tiein-
g School at Bovemenville, has con-
toted •an extensive test with ferti-
teas of varying analysis on the
:tato crop, In the experiments
re sets of plots Were used. On the
rst set, the fertilizers were applied
the rate of 1000 pounds 'per acre
id on the second set at the rate
' 500 pounds. In each set one plot
as left without fertilizer for coin-
rrison. In these testsand on this
11, a. 2-12---6 fertilizer seems to
;ye materially better results than
ty other. Where fertilizers were
plied at 1000 pounds per acre, the
image yield of potatoes was 241.5
iehels against an average where no
ntilizea tvas• applied of 162.1 Lush -
s. This figured out at a net gain
$56.90 for the crop. Where fere.
sees were applied. at the rate of

,gull 162.1 where no fertilizer was

New Plan of Instruction .
Institution of a plan of •instr'uc-
t1on in rural distr'icis in nutrition;
home nursing and first aid, sewing,
millinery and handicrafts, was an-
nounced at the 29th .annual conven-
tion of Women's Institutes of (len-
tral Ontario in Toronto Last weelr
by the superintendent, Geo, A, Put-
nam. "It is evident," he said, "that
many, rural home workers cannot
attend classes every afternoon from
day to day for two weeks or more,
so We are planning to give instruc-
tion in a form which meets the con-
venience{ >ef either small or large
groups, Instruction will be given
for two, three, four days or a whole
week, as well as the present courses,
Up-to-date information will be given
on nutrition, how to produce and
utilize to the best advantage home-
grown products, how to remodel the
old house to stake it convenient, at-
tractive and healthful, hdw to make
one's own dresses and hate and how
to make at a minimums expense
many ar•bicies which add to the at-
tractiveness, beauty and comfort of
the home."

° Recommend Cow Rations
A conmettee of leading agricul-
turists was recently appointed to
study rations and suggest mixtures
of feeds that would be suitable to
Ontario conditions. The committee
t comprised Prof. J. C. Steekley, On-
tario Agricultural College, R. W.
Wade, Director, Ontario Live Stook
Branch; W. J. Bell; Keniptville Agri-
cultural School, and W. R. Reek,
Ridgetown Experimental Station,
The following, ration was suggest-
ed for cows in milk and getting
clover 'or alfalfa bay; 1 Bound hay
per 100 lbs. live weight; 2 pounds
silage per 100 pounds live weight;
2 pounds mots per 100 poundp live
weight; and a grain mixture of 200
pounds ground or rolled oats, 200
pounds bran, 100 pounds barley, 50
pounds oil cake and 50 pounds cot-
ton seed. Another suggested' mixture
is 200 pounds oats. 100 pounds glu-
ten, and 25 pounds oil cake. The
protein content of the first ration is
18 per cent and of the. second 171k
per cent: Either is to be fed at
the rate of one pound of meal for
,each four pounds of milk. Wheat
may be used in place of barley and,
if roots , aro not available, feed
three pounds silage. If silage isnot
available, feed four pounds roots
per 100 pounds dive weight.
On this account, it will be gratify-
ing to find that the Premier 'beak of
The Dominion has been able to sub-
mit to its shareholders a report that
shows the Bank. has .fully maintained
its eharacteristieally strong position.
It was to be expected, in view of gen-
eral conditions, that there would be
some falling off . in the volume of
business handled; and perhaps in
profits. It is, therefore, encouraging
eo note that for the last Mx months
of the fiscal .year the Bank has been
able to show gains in seveasal of its
principal departments — tofurther,
add to its usual position of strength
by an inereose in liquid assets to
almost 60 per cent of total liabilities
to the public, and at the same tine
report to' its shareholders profits_
ample to take case o1 the regular
'dividends and bonus; to apply $800,-
000 to bank premises and to make a
comfortable contribution to Profit

Str..ong Position
The general statement of assets
and liabilities, which is for the fiscal
year to. October 31st, eantains a
number of interesting features. Total

up from $822,599,648 at the end of
the first six mbnths of the year. Of
this total, liquid assets amount to
5438,192,479, et which level they are
equivalent to 59.32 percent, of total
liabilities to the public, and compare
with $373,450,296. Included among
them are cash and Dominion notes, of
S100;p47,419, or 13.54 percent of to-
tal public liabilities,

Gain In High Grade Holdings
Due to general market conditions,
there has been a substantial reduc-
tion in call loans and marked gains
in the holdings of Dominion and
Provincial government securities and
in Canadian, municipal s'ecur'ities
and British, foreign and eolonial
public securities. As oresult, ca11
loans in Canada are $17,840,690,
down from $27,460,856, and call
loans in Great Britain and the U>ii-
ted States have declined tc $60,921,-
71,2, from 068,028,615, At the same
time, De iition and Provincial, gave
ornm'ent securities have increased to
$131,107,484 from 06,081,964, and
Canadian' municipal securities and
British, foreign and colonial public
securities total $46,447,441, as cone
pared with $21,880,527.
The somewhat smaller volume of
business being done throughout the
country is reflected by a reduction
in current loans 111 Canada to $290,-
872,423 from $335,301, 194, while
current loans .outside of Canada are
$42,547,341 as against $48,18$.318.
Loans to cities, towns and municipal-
ities stand at $24,246,054 as compar-
ed with 337,451,194.
A constructive feature is shown by
the tendency ,of deposits to record
inereases. Tette deposits now a-
mount to $697,395,742, up from
$688,067,754.
Profits Maintained
The profit and loss account shows
profits of 56,519,031 as compared
with 37,070,892 tri the previous year.
The profits, added to the amount car-
ried forward, made the total avail-
able for distribution 57,254,612. This
Was alotted • as follows: dividends
and bonus $5,047,586; provision for
taxes Dominion government $456,-
979, and reservation for bank pre-
mises 8800,000, leaving a balance to
be carried forward of $947,047, •a•-
gainst $735,582 at the end of the
previous fiscal year.
The Bank this year, in addition to
issuing its stateneent in circular• form
to sllaLeholders, is publishing a sum-
mary of the *detailing features of
the report in a form that will be
needdly understandable. This state-
ment will bo found in another col-
umn and is certain to be of great
assistance to all who are endeavor-
ing to obtain in brief font an easily
understood outline of the position of
the Bank.

News rte l's o 1, Matters Canadian and Foreign
Written For The News -Record
When His Royal Highness, The t
Prince of Wales, who later became
King Edward VII of England, visited
Canada in 1860, one of the most
charming hostesses who entertained
in his honour, was •Mrs. Cauchon,
wife of the Hon. Joseph Cauchon, at
that tune a Minister of the Crown.
If we will^but think a moment, we
can easily picture that dinner party,
in those days when entertaining was
the most lavish affair, in the grand
old city of Quebec, and with the most
beautiful woman in Canada as hos-
tess.
In the Dominion Archives at Ot-
tawa, on a long ease in the public
room, is the bust of this woman, con-
sidered the most beautiful of her slay
carved in parian marble by Marshal
Wood, the famous English sculptor,
who, also carved the figure of Queen
Victoria which stands in the library
of the House of Commons at Ot-
tawa. At present there is no plate
to tell who this bust represents, and
a great deal of confusion Inas been
caused. The figure is so beautiful
that it is often mistaken for Princess
Louise, and it is also so regal that
it is claimed by many to be Queen
Victoria, This however, will be rem-
edied ib the near future, for a brass
plate is being prepared for it by the
lady's only son, Mr. Noulan,Cauchon,
who has lent this piece of art • to the
Archives,
Mfrs. Cauchon was Maria Noulen,
of Sillery garish, and by her mar-
riage to Joseph Cauchon of Chateau
Richer, connected two very' old and
famous families. For some years
she lived in Quebec city where she
had a beautiful hone. Later they
moved to Ottawa where Mr. Cauchon
'occupied several important govern-
mental positions, among them being
the Speaker of the Senate, the first
after confederation. In Ottawa Mrs,.
Cauchon became noted for her grace
as'hostess, and her beautiful home on
Laurier Avenue, which she named
Stadacona Hall after the old name of
Quebec City, is still one of the most
beautiful homes in the. Capital city.
lees. Cauchon died at the age of
thirty-six after she had Iived for•
several years in Manitoba where
her husband was the Lieutenant -
Governor. eler death occurred in ,
1877, while she was still in the prime
of youth, but her name will go down
in history as. one of Canada's most
famous hostesses.
