Owing to the dimcultics of communi- cation with the towns and village. of the mountainous districts of the interior fresh fish cennot easily reach them, consequently codfish takes its place and is largely consumed during the times of testing which are so frequent in Greece.

I! you had just taken of! your hot and coat as I did and looked kind of far “ray when that teller came throllgh, he wouldn't have asked you {or no ticket. That's right," he added, not- ing the look of incredulity on Mr. Hays' face; "that's right. I’ve been traveling up arid down on this here road for goin’ on ten years now and I’ve never been asked for a. cent yetl"â€"Cuadia.n Magazine. “39 you goin’ fur?” questioned he of the whiskers. “Not very," was the curt response. “Where be you goin’?” persisted his interlocutor. Mr. Hays enlightened him and the other remained silent until the con- ductor had passed through the ear and collected the fares. The General Manager, deep in thought, obstruct- edly shoved up his past). and the conductor, after glancing at the other occupant of the seat. went on down the aisle. Suddenly, without my preliminary, the old farmer turned to Mr. Hum. General Manager Hays of the Grand Trunk, is of the opinion that something may be learned from every person one meets. In support of this he relates an adventure which recent- ly occurred to him. He was travel- ing alone between two small Canaa- dian towns on a. local where there were no Pullxnans, and happened to get into a seat, the other half of which was occupied by an old farmâ€" er. The verdant one made several overtures at. conversation to which Mr. Hays failed to respond very readily. Besides all this. the Government sends experts to all parts of Canads to give lectures on the preparation and marketing of fruit and to ex- plain to the farmers and packers the full meaning of the lamâ€"Resourm. In the last five years the Canadian Government has devoted consider- ’able time and money to establishing and directing fruit experimental sta- tions. These extend from Nova Sco- tia to British Columbiaâ€"from three thousand to four - thousand miles through diverse lands (soils) and cli- mates. The studies relating to 33:!- culture and horticulture, etc., are di- rected by professors and managers of ‘ large experience. The central branch of the system is in Ottawa. Emeri- ments are made on all kinds of fruit on lots of land prepared and assigned for the purpose. The results are pub- lished every five years. care being taken to note during the_time as it passes all the good and bad eflects, conditions and circumstances. The professors study especially the cus- toms of the various insects and para;- sites that injure and destroy 'tho fruit. and they publish the remedial discovered. What tho Government Is Doing to II- conrago tho Industry. The principal iruits produced by Canada are apples, pears. peaches, cherries, grapes, melons and tom»- toes. As an article of trade the ap- ple leads easily. The provinces in which the fruit is produced in tho largest quantities and best qualitiel are Ontario and Nova Scotia. Tho railway companies have excellent 1a- cilities for the transportation of the fruit. There are estates with 500 acres of fruit, while the avorago size is from 40 to 100 acres.
