What the Act Means and How It surface of such packag0_ Operatesâ€"Easy to Under- 0 stand. After the Parliament of Canada lassed the Fruit Marks Act in 1901, may, after notifying the packer by he Minister of Agriculture directed letter or telegram, place the words hat every opportunity should be LfTorded the fruit, growers and pack- grs of the Dominion to meet its re- luirements and to fulfil their obliga- lions to the public; and for a, year the work of the department in this respect was informational and edu- :ational. This ments were made to the Act as orâ€" iginally passed, and to-day the Act in all its provisions is “as plain as n. pike staff," and every clause of it .so simple that “he who runs may read.” No farmer, or fruit grower, Dl‘ packer who is honest in his en- deavors and straightforward in his trading need fear any of its clauses. The Act is being enforced, and the inspectors appointed to execute its requirements have been instructed to do their duty. They are the ser- vants of the crown; Parliament has definitely pronounced its judgment upon the false and fraudulent packâ€" lng and marking of fruit consignâ€" ments; and these men have been se- lected to carry out the regulations placed on the statute book for the purpose of protecting honest trad- ers from unprincipled dealers, and of preserving inviolate the fair comâ€" mercial fame of Canada from un- scrupulous packers. In other words, the Act will ensure' to the public of the Dominion and to commission agents and the public generally in Great Britain and elsewhere that the fruit. is correctly marked and HONESTLY PACKED. The principal sections of the Act ire: ‘ Section 4. Every person who, by himself or through the agency of an- pther person, packs fruit in a clos- pd package, intended for sale, shall zause the package to be marked in a lain and indelible manner, before it is taken from the premises where it is packed. (a) With the initials of his Chrisâ€" lian names, and his full surname and iddress. . (b) With the name of the variety )'r varieties; and . (c) With a designation of the [rude of fruit, which shall include no of the following six marks: For i‘uit of‘the first quality, No. 1, or KXX; for fruit of ity, No. 2, or XX; and for fruit of lhe "third quality, No. 3, or X; but lhe said mark may be accompanied by any other designation of grade, provided that designation is not inâ€" :onsistent with, or marked more :onspicuously than the one of the mid six marks which is used on the mid- package. Section 5. No person shall sell, :xpress or have in his possession for :ale. any fruit packed in a closed package and intended for sale, 1111-- less such package is marked as reâ€" quired by the next preceding sec- tion. Section 6. No person shall sell, or offer, expose or have in his posses- sion for sale any fruit packed in .a closed package, upon which pack- age is marked any designation which represents suclf fruit as of No. 1 or XXX, finest, best or extra. good quality, unless such fruit consist of wellâ€"grown specimens of one variet , Isound, of nearly uniform size, of ,good color for the variety, of_nor- rmal shape, and not less than ninety {per cent. free from scab. worm holes, :bruises and other defects, and proâ€" chrly packed. - .i Section 7.

It will be noticed that only “closâ€" ied packages” need be. marked. A closed package is defined to be a box or barrel, the contents of which cannot be seen or inspected when ,such is closed. Baskets, berry crates, 'or berry boxes evou, with veneer covers, are not considered "closed packages,” and therefore do ,not require marking. Cranberries and all wil'd fruit are not subject to the provisions of the Act. Merchants are held responsible for the fruit they offer for sale (or fruit in their possession for sale), but the original wrongdoer, if found, will in every case be prosecuted. The penalty for a violation of the law with reference to packing and marking is not less than twenty-five cents and‘not more than one dollar per package; for removing an inâ€" spector’s brand, forty dollars; for obstructing an inspector, $25 to $500. The fines are divided equally between the informant and the crown. Inspectors are given large powers under the Act to enter premises for the purpose of making an examina- tion and to detain shipments of fruit Hill LITTLE FAITH. HOW A DOUBTFUL MAN WAS CONVINCED AND RESTORED A Story That Illustrates the Ad-. vantage of Reading and Being Guided by Newspaper Advertiseq ments. Lower Windsor, N.B., Aug. 11.â€" (Special)-â€"â€"“I want to say that I believe that Dod-d's K’idney Pills are the right medicine for Kidney Trou- ble.” This is the declaration of Mr. T. H. Belyea, postmaster of this place, who for a, long time was the victim of a very severe case of this lp’ainful disease. Mr. Belyea reads the newspapers and after he had tried plasters, oils and liniments and all kinds of exâ€" ternal remedies as well as doctors’ treatments, with no good results, he began reading the testimonials of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He says 2â€"â€" “This remedy was so highly re- commended for Kidney Trouble that after reading some testimonials I concluded to try them for a short time, but I must admit that having ‘ tried so many things and failed to obtain a cure, I hadbut little faith that Dodd’s Kidney Pills or any- thing else could or would help me. "However, I did not use them long before I found out that they were all and more than Was claimed for them. "I used to have very bad spells which of late years became so fre- quent and _ so severe that I was almost laid up. I "I received more benefit from bed _.'s Kidney Pills than from any 0th medicine I have ever used and they certainly made a complete cure of y case. -' "I" feel as well as ever I 'did and havé‘ not. the slightest trace of the Kidney Trouble that bothered me for so many years.'.' Mr. Belyea. is not the first skeptical man that has been convinced by ex- perience of the medicinal value of Dodd's Kidney Pills.- tor the same purpose. The packer, however, is amply protected by the stipulation that immediate notice must be given by the inspector to the packer when fruit. which at all times is at the risk of the owner, is branded or detained, and the inspec- tor who exceeds his authority is subject to ' A HEAVY PENALTY. The main points of this Act may be summed up as follows: (1) The. face of all fruit pack- ages must fairly represent the fruit throughout; ' ‘ (2) Closed boxes and barrels must be marked with the name and address of the packer, the variety of the fruit and its grade; (3) It is an offence within the meaning of the Act to sell. to offer for sale, or to have in possession for sale, 'frequently packed or marked fruit, even when the buyer and seller are ignorant, of the fact, as well as when one or both have knowledge of the fact; (4) The Act does not prevent the packing or selling of any grade of fruit thatis properly packed and marked; 1 (5). The Act dees not provide for the inspection of particular lots of fruit at the request of the buyer or seller. '(6) Commission merchants who, after notice, handle fruit put up contrary to the provisions of the Act, will be proceeded against. (7) There is no definition of grades marked “No'. 2," “XX,” ((No. 3')! ll 7“)! Already the this Act is being felt; and when it is fully known that dishonesty in packing and describing Canadian fruit does not exist, an enormous impetus will be given,to our fruit industry in all the-markets of the world. At present inquiries are beâ€" ing made concerning the trans-At- lantic shipments of early Canadian apples. The Department of Agriculâ€" ture will not take any responsibilâ€" ity, but through the Commissioner of Agriculture and Dairying wxll as- sist in securing cool or cold storage spaceon ocean steamers if early in- formation be given as to the probâ€" able quantity, the date of shipment, and the destination desired.

It will be necessary to have the apples picked and packed on the green or firm side. so ‘that they may be delivered in the United Kingdom in such a state that they may be handled with a very small percentage of bruised or decayed ones by the retail dealers into whose hands they will go from the whole- sale centres.

In the heated deg days when fly fishing is. over, much exertion and rowing from one likely hole to anâ€" other is work which the soul of the average man loathes, it is well to have a recipe for catching bass at one spot with certainty.» It may not be sportsmanship of the most exaltâ€" ed type, but it is comfortable. Select a spot near a shady shore, where the trees will throw a bene- ficent shade and where there is an approved submerged bass bar. It should not be within sight of the haunts of men and prying eyes. on this bar a little buoyâ€"a small piece of board weatherâ€"stained so as to be unobtrusive is bestâ€"is moored with a cord so as to sink a few inches beneath the surface. To this get a lad to fasten a boat every day for a week or if possible a fortnight, -.While he deals out into the water as much fish provender in the shape of chopped liver, angle worms, gentles, dead minnows, etc., as you can furnish. A pint or two of crayâ€" fish and a few suckers cut into pieces may also be distributed with great advantage. After the first few days the lad should remain for half an hour or so to accustom the fish to the boat. Then when the day appointed comes the master fisherman sails, drifts or quietly rows over to the little moor- ed buoy near which the fish ham learned to congregate. Arriving there he throws out. a few handfuls of boiled bullocks’ liver‘rub‘bed fine, to give the fish a relish for their coming meal, as caviarc is seroved around before breakfast in Russia. A good-sized bunch of worms, a small green frog and a, fresh water mussel are the popular baits for this time of year. The hook should be fastened to a stout casting line of gut.

For if the ground bait has been well distributed on both sides of the bank above which the boat is moored, the fish should be taken alternately from opposite sides, and as little movement made as is possible. As the object of such fishing is to get fish, with as little exertion as possible, it is prudent to use only one hook on a line, since two fish make much more splashing, and give more trouble than one, no matâ€" ter what their weight may be. A small quill float, to maintain a uniform depth, is a good thing to use in such a case. It will gen-, erally be noticed that on a lower level than the bass affect. catfish and suckers are found, and no one cares to drag up an ugly great cat inâ€" stead of a big bass. Besides, it is apt to disgust the lordly bass to have a catfish obtrude its objection- able company among them. And if the bass become alarmed or sail away in bad temper, goodâ€"by to them for some hours at any rate. Why that luscious alderman among fishes, the chub, should almost in- variably be found along with the bass on baited ground is aamystery. But so it is, that one or two of these handsome fish may commonly be looked for.- And while the chub has not anything like the endurance of the black bass, It puts up a, very strong. vigorous fight as long as its strength holds out.
