C. Winde-ier, one of the biggest wool operators in London and Bradford. England, and representing the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers in Britain and Europe, told the Wool Growers at Toronto when visiting there the other day. "There is a big demand for vour clip, and mills who have tried it out are coming back with repeat orders.". Keep Out Dark Hairs In discussing wool with G. E. O'Brien, General Manager of the cooperative, Mr. Windeler stated that he had one suggestion to make, and one which could easily be carried out by sheepmen themselves. In shearing the heads and legs, it is customary to remove the dark or grey har, particularly where the Down breeds are being handled. This amounts to practically nothing in weight, but when it is tied up with the rest of the fleece it gets mixed in so with the wool during processing in the mills that it cannot be removed. These little short dark hairs will not take the dye, and therefore they make the wool less fit for manufacturing into the more expensive light-colored yarns, blankets, and cloth. Mr. O'Brien states, that in his opinion, the bulk of the dark fibre con.,pl-nned of in Canadian wool is trongly advised by H. ere an* dTh, ere (82) Work on the Royal York, new hotel of the Canadian Pacific Railway In Toronto, is ten days ahead <tf Seiftitule and there is now every probability that it will he completed By May 1, next year.

Allerton has been appointed general manager of hotels and bungalow camps east of Fort William, operated by the Canadian PacUto Railway; and H- F- Mathews, general manager of hotels and bungalow camps from Fort William to the Pacific. The appointments were consequent on the death of C B. E-Ussher, late general passenger traffic manager of the railway. Palle Huld, lfi-year-old Danish hoy, who is travelling round the world in 46 days, passed through Montreal and the east of Canada recently on his way to Vancouver, whence he will sail by Canadian Pacific All-Red route to Yokohama. The exploit is in commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Jules Verne, whose book "Round the World in 80 Days," has always been a favorite with boys. Fort William.--Elevator capacity at Fort William will probably total 100,000,000 bushels by 1930. Present storage capacity of the twin cities 1* recorded as 72,540,000 bushels and between 9,000,000 and 10,000,000 bushels will be added before the 1928 crop is garnered.

A story of a benign season is given when the rising of the sap signalizes the budding of the tree, when the rivers sing a song of freedom and the birds add their songs to the voices of Utile children in streets or country lanes. Though Spring and beauty can be found anywhere, it is in the country that it is ideal. Here one can watch the tilling of the soil, the plowing and planting that the earth may yield for the needs of man. Nova Scotia is delightful, for there the bustle and stress of our modern era does not exist. It is a part of that ancient country of Acadia, and it Is one of the most beautiful provinces in the Dominion of Canada. There is no part of Nova Scotia more per- meated with poetic legend and historic lore than the Annapolis Valley, Windsor, Grand Pre and Qas-pereau. They were centres of events in the early history of the North American continent, for French explerers visited this section as far back as 1604. Quebec Province in spring is equally lovely, and especially the rural districts near the fortified Old World city of Quebec. Old Norman farm houses sprawl along country streets for miles. Wayside shrines are many in this devout province. Glimpses are had through quaint courtyards or narrow galleries of women at their spinning wheels. Here, as in sections of Nova Scotia, time is apparently not fought for as else- Quebec Is lovely in May, es- pecially during the Canadian Folk Song and Handicraft Festival, to be held this year from May 24-28. At the Chateau Frontenac one is transported into past decades, seeing the work of the habitants as they ply their shuttles of distaffs. The musical programmes are those of the early French Canadians, habitant melodies, brought over originally by the French of early days. It is refreshing in this age to have a little of the peace of the old world, and Quebec is impregnated with an atmosphere of romance and pastoral beauty. Spring days quicken the wanderlust, and with lie first notes of the meadow lark and robin the country attracts, and "Only the call of ths long white road to the far horizons wall" lures and beckons to the unknown places, beautiful in Spring. j Wetaskiwin.--Wetaskiwin district ! --f has the distinction of being the home I | of a Shorthorn cow which holds the t j record for all Canada in the production of milk and butterfat as a three- I year-old.

Motherwell j has appointed a commission to in-vestigate all phases of the tobacco-growing industry, for which two of i the commissioners have already been ! named. The probe will extend to ' every phase of the industry, from ! ! seeding to marketing, and one of the | I most important features will be the effort to ascertain the best method of operating a proposed co-operative marketing pool. I Port Arthur.--Eventually Canada \ will produce a 1,000,000,000 bushel crop of wheat and will have no diffi-1 culty in finding a market for it, \ predicted Hon. T. A.

Referring to the development of Western Canada, Mr. I Crerar said there was no country in j the world where so great a develop-I ment had taken place in the past ! few years and there was no country : having #reh great possibilities. | In order to meet the increasing j i popularity of the Canadian Rockies ' among tourists, and also to aid in | developing trans-continental travel. the Canadian Pacific Railway will ; run a quintette of trains across the j Dominion from Montreal, Toronto : I and Chicago to the Rockies, Van- : I couver and Victoria this coming ; summer. These trains will be "The j Trans-Canada Limited", "The Im-i perial", the Toronto-Vancouver Ex- I ! press, and "The Mountaineer" and t j "Soo-Pacific Express" from Chicago. | j The Trans-Canada and the Moun- ] ■■ taineer will be all-sleeping-car | , trains. ! Vancouver.--"Maizie," the famous ■ white Leghorn hen owned by the University of British Columbia ; farm, officially known as Hen No. 6, '< the world's champion layer with 361 I eggs in a year, is proving a substantial revenue producer for the University of British Columbia. I Last year the sale of pedigreed ' poultry stock from Maizie returned ! to the University $2,225. Two of i her cockerel fetched $500 each when i sold to Ohio poultry raisers, while I another cockerel sold in New Jersey | for $300.8 The University receipts i on sale of pedigreed British Colum-1 bia stock totalled $7,22s»for the The Money Losing Cow THE average production < per cow in Canada is about 4,000 pounds arnually but authorities are agreed that the higher the production per cow the greater the profit. You can materially increase the productiveness of your herd by breeding better livestock and the local branch of the Standard Bank plying loans for the purchase of stock which will give a greater cash return for the feed and labor expended.
