Anng de Bellevue. : (Cutting of all wheat is expected to begin within : about a week, says a report of the Ontario - Department of Agriculture, and as a rule fall wheat is looking very promising. Western reports are also very encouraging, but just what the har- vest is expected to be will not be generally known until representatives of the three prairie Provin- cial Governments and the two railroads meet in Winnipeg to discuss the labor situation and the best means of securing help to harvest whatever crop there is. However, the crop reports issued to date by the Agricultural Department of the Cana- dian Pacific" Railway have been very optimistic and this company is already gathering and distri- buting equipment to various points in anticipation of a heavy movement of harvest workers. ~The movement of harvesters has developed into quite a department in railroad transportation offices. As once the movement starts it must be rushed through to completion as speedily and effec- ! tively as possible, the attention of a large staff of men is concentrated for nearly a month before, i during and for some time after the rush on assem- : bling equipment, distributing it to the various parts . of the country from whence the harvesters are drawn, making up the special trains, securing supplies for the lunch cars, and the hundred and one things which have to he looked after in order | to ensure smooth running and of which the travel | ler usually knows nothing and probably cares less. , _ During the last four years the Cansdian Pacific | Railway has handled some 85,000 west-bound har vesters. Last year this Company inaugurated the | Launch Counter car which afforded facilities hither.

As soon as it is known just how many are required to work in the harvest the excursions will be arranged and trains made up. The excursions originate from as far east as the Maritimes and as far west as the border of Ontario, but all are of the same type as far as rail equipment is concerned. Colonist cars are used which afford comfortable seating during the day, facilities are afforded those who wish to prepare their own meals in a small kitchen at the end of each car, and at night bunks may be pulled down as an upper berth or the seats extended to afford comfortable sleeping quarters. The lunch counter car in which as many as fifty men can take a meal at the same time is an important section of the train. The travel- ling harvester is sure of being able to secure a meal to suit his purse and of the food supplied him being of good quality and served in a sani- tary manner. Last year this department on Cana- dian Pacific lines served over two hundred thou- sand meals, and the experiment was so much appre- ciated, and proved such a success that it has now become a regular institution, Old timers travelling west now-a-days regard the trip as a holiday and the number of women and children who have been seen travelling with the harvesters since the standard of service ren= dered has been what it now is, has increased +o _ The ordinary diet consists largely of a remarkable degree.

In all progressive countries, however, there is at the present time an extraordinary interest being taken in the question of dieting, particularly : causation of certain diseases, the origin i of which has hitherto been somewhat obscure. Much of the food eaten to- day is not of the right kind to promote and maintain good health. It is deficient in fat-soluble vitamines, be- cause through habit or custom, large numbers of people are not particularly fond of green vegetables, mill, cheese and eggs. When the question of green vegetables is mentioned, many people shrug their shoulders and say they, could not get accustomed to hay. Little | do they konw how essential green vegetables are in keeping the diet properly balanced so that good health | may be maintained. bread, butcher's meat, potatoes, jam, tae and coffee. Milk is often neglect- ed, and yet milk should form a larger part of our diet than at the present time. The problem of such a commonplace thing as defective teeth would be solv- ed by greater attention being paid to the diet of children, and the decline in infant mortality is largely due to the instuction in infant feeding which now forms such a large part of infant wel- fare. The experience of many abserv- ers has proved that the number of rickety children had considerably de- creased since driet milk was used in preference to patent foods. Cod liver Oil is known to be especi- ally rich in some of the essential vitamines, and some that cod liver oil and milk should be rovided ai all welfare centrea. i as regards the 4 authorities urge | Get the Genuine Repairs for your } Haying and Harvesting Machinery Order MOWERS, RAKES BINDERS & TWINE TIRES, GAS, Etc.

JEWELL & Coy. i OXDRIFT-- --ONTARIO TAKING CARE OF THE HONEY CROP. Honey is a perishable article no mat- ter whether it is left in the comb or extracted. With care it can be kept in good condition for long periods, especially in the extracted form. Nectar, as stored by the bees, con- tains a high percentage of water, which must be evaporated before the honey can be extracted. When the cells are filled and the right amount of evaporation has taken place, the honey is sealed over and is then con- sidered to be "ripe". It is mot ad- visable to extract honey until at least three-fourths of the cells are capped. especially in regions where the honey is inclined to be rather thin. Comb honey should be left on the hives un- til all cells containing honey are sealed but should not be left on any longer than this or thesections are likely to become travel stained. The honey should be extracted as soon as possible after the supers are removed from the hives and if done while still warm, more honey will be taken from the comb. After the honey is extracted it must be strained to re- move all foreign matter, Straining may be done through fine cheesecloth or by letting the honey stand in tanks for two or three days, when all foreign matter will have risen to the surface. If the honey is well ripened, it should be placed in the final containers at once, hefore ot starts to granulate, but if it is too thin it should be left in the tanks a short time for further ripen- ng. Honey should be stored in a dry place, as it readily absorbes moisture from a damp atmosphere. Honey ripe- ning in tanks should stand in a warm dry room. Ripened honey in containers a cold, dry place. Section honey should be stored in a well-ventilated room where the temperature is high and con- stant or moisture will condense on the ready for market will keep better inf 1rOCery Owing to our selling for Cash, we are willing to meet all local prices Drinks :-- SYRUP, 5's 45 Raspberry VINEGAR .._._..._..__.. .33 | SYRUP, Corn, 10's per tin __._. 87 LIME JUICE = AD Fruits :-- : LOGAN BERRY .33§ ORANGES, per dozen __________ 45 CREAM, Carnation --.__.... + 13] TOMATORS, per 1b evi -23 CREAM, St. Charle's ..ocvoe. 15} PEACHES, per doz ooo -55 CREAMETTES (Macaroni) --_.__..
