Cooper of Mount Forest has received a call to Beamsville at $1800 per year, free manse and holi- days. A Hurfin County farmer had to pay $47.02 express' charges on six bushel boxes of apples sent to a"triend in Glasgow. Smaller numbers have come from Poland, China.

Of- these 4,000,000 about 1,200,000 came from 38 different countries where the English language is" not spoken. The great national task is Bringing these various peoples to- gether, in sympathetic harmony, so that each may make his contribution- to the building of the nation that God is calling into being in this great land. The beginning of the new century saw a great stream of immigrants turned toward Canada, and should the present rate continue until the end of the year, the last twenty years will have added another four millions to the population of Canada. The history of Canada is very large- ly the "history of immigration. In 1763 the population of Canada was 60,000. During the next one hundred years the population doubled every 20 years, so that in 1867 there were about 3,300,000 people in the newly Federated Provinces. Chocolate and Nut Pudding Mix two tablespoonfuls of choc- late or cocoa with three tablespoon- fuls of cornstarch, half a cupful of sugar and a, pinch of salt; moisten with half a cupful of milk, add to three cupfuls of scalded milk and cook in a double boiler for ten min- utes. Stir in the beaten yolks of two eggs, stirring constantly. Let it cook for another minute; add one tea- spoonful of vanillia extract and half a cupful of ." chopped walnut meats. Cool slightly and divide into sherbet cups and chill. When ready to serve, top each portion with whipped and sweetened cream flavored with nut- meg, or use marshmallow topping. Cut three oranges in halves; take out the pulp carefully, so as not to break the skins. Rub the pulp through a sieve, add one cupful of fruit juice to it, and pour into a saucepan. Peel two bananas, cut them into thin slices, cut two cooked apri- cots and one slice ot canned pineapple into small dice. Add these to the fruit Juice, place the pan on the fire and cook slowly for five minutes. Re- move from the fire and add half a cupful of preserved cherries cut into pieces. Fill the orange shells with this fruit mixture. Whip up two whites of eggs to a stiff froth, cover the top of each with it, dust thickly with sugar, and plate in the oven to set and.. slightly brown the meringue. Serve hot. Roast a large duck and cook it rare. Cut the bird into neat joints. Chop the carcass into small pieces, melt three tablespoonfuls of butter in a stewpan, put in the pieces of the carcass and one onion sliced, and fry it brown. Then add three cupfuls of stock or water, simmer for an hour, then strain it. Melt two tablespoon- fuls of butter. in another stewpan, stir in four tab1espooptuls of flour, and add two cupfuls aof the stock made from the carcass, season with salt and pepper, -and simmer for fifteen minutes. Add to it the gravy from the pan in which the duck was roasted. Put the joints of duck into this sauce and simmer for twenty minutes. When cooked, dish the duck on a hot platter and strain the sauce over it. Remove the bone from mutton, rub with a little salt and pepper mixed together. Roll up and tie in a neat roll with string. Cut up the vege- tables and place them at the bottom of a covered saucepan with herbs and parsley, if they are obtainable. Lay mutton on top of these and pour in three cups ot water. Simmer very gently for two hours. When done, lift the meat into a roasting pan with a few tablespoons of the gravy, and set in a hot oven to brown. Make a gravy and serve the meat on a hot platter. "Button" mushrooms can be used in place of the ketchup if they can be procured. 3 pounds loin df mutton; 3 table- spoons fat; 1 celery stalk; 1 onion; 1 small turnip; 1 carrot; 3 cloves; 2 sprigs parsley; 4 tablespoons flour; 1 tablespoon mushroom ketchup; 1 teaspoon thyme or sage; salt and pepper to taste. - Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add other season- ings, omitting parsley if none is ob- tainable. Chop onion fine and shave suet. Add them to the mixture, com- bining all the ingredients thoroughly,, and make a dough .with water. It should not be too stiff, but should be thick enough to drop off in spoonfuls. When dumplings are puffed up and are cooked through, serve on a hot platter, with the stew in the centre of a circle of dumplings. 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon pepper; 1-2 on- ion; 1 teaspoonful salt; 3 tablespoons suet; 1 teaspoonful thyme; 1 teaspoon parsley; water. Slice onions and fry in the fat until light brown. Dredge in the flour, and when well browned add the stock or water. Cut the meat in small pieces, add it to the other ingredients and simmer for three hours. 2 large onions; 2 tablespoons fat; 1 tablespoon flour; 2 pounds tough meat; 4 cups stock or water; 1 tea- spoon vinegar; seasonings. .

A change in conditions was neces- , sary, and with the object in view of placing Canadian wools on an equal footing with that of other countries the Dominion Government undertook the work of the preparation of wool for market through the medium of the Sheep Division of the Live Stock Branch. Officers were sent out on educational work, and practical wool graders were engaged to grade the 'wool at centralized points throughout 1 the country. Following the education- wool co-operatively, and thereby ob- Government, the wool growers of Canada formed themselves into the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers, Limited, with head offices at Toronto, Ont., tor the purpose of selling their lbs.) to date, 1.300,000 lbs. have been taining the best price possible for their product. This year this organi- zation 'expects to handle approxi- mately 5,000,000 lbs. of wool, or one- third of the entire wool clip of Can- ada. Of the total sales (2,300,000 lbs.' to date, 130,000 lbs. have been placed with the English trade, 870,- 000 lbs. sold to the American trade and 1,300,000 lbs, to the Canadian trade. In all cases good prices have been realized. The fact that more than half of the wool already sold has been placed with the Canadian trade, would tend to show the favorable at- titude in which it is now regarded by the Canadian manufacturer. Grades Well The quality of Canadian wool com- pares very favorably with that of any other country. The larger por- tion of the Canadian wool clip 'is ot the combining variety suitable for the manufacture of worsteds and conse- quently of a greater commercial value than the shorter wools which are used in the construction of or- dinary woollen clothing, underwear and socks. [FRIES & GUIDE. WESTON _ Shearing should be done on a wooden floor, and the fleece kept as compact as possible. When rolling the fleece the clipped side should be next to the floor. Fold in the sides to the centre then roll from the neck and tail to the centre. If desirable a fleece tying box may be used for tying the fleece, but in the event of this being at hand then proceed to tie the fleece in the usual manner, making as com- pact a bundle as possible. The main thing to remember in tying the fleece is never to use binder twine, as the small particles of sisar,beeome incor- porated in the wool fibre, and cause no end of trouble when passing through the manufacturing process. Paper twine, can be obtained for the purpose, and is the most suitable, as there is no danger from stray fibres. When shearing be sure that the wool is absolutely'dry. Wool packed in a damp state assumes a yellowish tinge, making it useless for the manufacture of white yarn. The strength of the fibre is also impaired, and manufac- turers will only buy this quality of wool at a reduced price. Always keep black wool separate from white as the black fibres become mixed with the white and render it useless for the manufacturing of white yarn. Wool Was Not Wanted It is' only of recent years that Canadian wool has been regarded with any degree of interest by the Canadian manufacturer, as previous to that time the condition in which the home grown product was offered for sale presented no inducement to the prospective buyer. The wool was looked upon with difference largely, owing to the unsatisfactory manner in which it was offered to the buyer. _ The fact that the wool was pot in any ) way prepared for market necessitated the grading and sorting out of all fleeces upon the arrival at the factory. Extra time and labor had to be spent upon the preparation of the wool be- tore it was in a fit condition for manufacturing purposes. It could hardly be expected that under these circumstances the‘best price would be realized by the wool grower tor his product. _ C (BY ARTHUR MORTON) B. C. REPRESENTATIVE, SHEEP DIVISION, L. S. B., OTTAWA. The production of good wool starts with the care 'ot the sheep. Sheep that are well looked after will pro- duce a better quality ot wool than will be the case if they are neglected. If sheep are well cared for the result will be shown in the strength and quality of wool, which will be of a strong healthy character. On the other hand the wool from neglected sheep will be harsh and brittle, lack- ing in quality and strength, and con- sequently of less value to the prospec- tive purchaser. Feed the sheep welt, and the reward will be reaped in bet- ter wool. Until late years the average farm- ers lost heavily by poor methods of shearing, and above all, by poor grad- ing-manufacturers did not want Canadian wool. IIOW TO PREPARE Government Sent Graders .--ARCHIBALD' LXMPMAN, THE AIM OF LIFE How To Shear AND MARKET WOOL "Goodness'." said Edna. "I'm glad my mummy doesn't look like that." "That is sex replied auntie Little Edna was visiting the mu- seum with her aunt. In the Egyptian room the child saw the desiccated remains of an ancient queen and ask- ed what it was. "That is some one's mummy, dear," Butler (who had noticed that the curite was dressed tor (to1f)--- "He had the appearance, my lady, ot be- ing out of 'ory orders for the day." But there are other things which assist in the maintenance of the qual- ity of the material. Fertilizers of low grade will not give the financial re- sults obtained from higher grade ma- terials. The fertilizer man knows this. He knows that his only claim for a place in the business world rests upon the service which he renders the farmers of the country; hence he is primarily interested in putting? out good grade material which will give, results and consequently build up business for him." As a matter of fact, a. farmer buying fertilizer has an infinitely better guarantee than a man buying a carload of manure. -Henry G. Bell, B.S.A. Mistress-N see the new curate has called. What is he like, Smithers?" How can we be sure exactly what we are getting? The Fertilizer Act of the Dominion ot Canada provides for this assurance in that it requires fertilizer manufacturers to attach la- bels to the packages of fertilizers on which they guarantee the per cent. of nitrogen (the plant grower) phos- phoric acid (the plant ripener), and potash (the plant strengthener) which the contents of the bags carry. These are not imaginary'figures, but are actually the findings of competent chemists. The law requires that the inspectors of the Department in charge take samples of fertilizers, at times and places chosen by these authorities. The consequence is that the products of the fertilizer industry are always open to a checking up in these agencies of inspection, hence the fertilizer manufacturer is bound for his own protection to live up to the guarantees. As the seedlings grow they will soon need transplanting into other boxes to give them room to develop. "EY' shows a box ot seedlings, "D" same seedlings transplanted. "J" shows seedlings ready for transplant- ing. When these fill the boxes after transplanting it will be time to plant them outside. “G” is a snapdragon at planting time; a seedling this size will flower all summer. Ivhen it is desired to raise very choice seedlings such as begonias. etc., a good plan is shown at "L" This consists of covering the seedlings with a glass finger bowl and placing the pot into I the hotbed up to the rims. It there are any cuttings to make, always out ‘below a joint. "L" a fuchsia cutting, set in a pot at "M" and rooted dahlia cuttings are made by planting the tubers in the frame "B" and making cuttings from the young wood as at "C." It is best to set all cuttings in sand and to keep them shaded till they root. When watering the frame always use tepid water and water the plants in the morning. ‘ Then there are such things as to- matoes and celery, which like some warmeth to start them growing. These things will depend, however, on the housewife who plants the seed; some may prefer flowers, others vege- tables and salads. When it is decided what to grow the question will be whether to sow the seed directly onto the soil in the hotbed or to use boxes? The advantage of boxes would be in handling the seedlings later on. If boxes are to be used they will have to be fitted with drainage, so holes should be made in the bottom as at "H." Pieces of broken crocks or wood are placed over these holes, and if the soil which is to be used for filling the boxes is sifted the rough material which does not pass through the sieve can be spread over the "crocks" and the finer soil put on top of this. A section through a box is shown at "O," showing how the drainage and "Crocks" are placed. It is well before going any further to say that the soil used in filling the boxes should be good; if an old hotbed that is well decayed can be used and is in a condition that it will pass through a 1-4 inch sieve, this will make ideal compost. After the boxes are filled with soil they should be watered and allowed to drain for a day. before sowing the seed. When the seed is sown a light sprinkle of sand will cover the surface, and then it should be pressed down with a flat piece of wood. Now about raising the plants. The first thing will be to decide what to grow. If I wanted to get lots of flow- ers and had only a small space under glass to grow them in, I should cer- tainly sow such things as stTif.iidrag- ons, dianthus, heddewigin, cosmos, asters, stocks, pansies, annual holly- hock, phloz, drummondi, petunia, schizanthus and zinias. These always produce lots of flowers andHreep on flowering till frost cuts them down. A small frame or even an old win- dow would grow tender lettuce as well as flowers, and it would be far superior to that bought at the store. Then perhaps there are a few choice house plants that she would like to increase, just a few slips inserted in pots of sandy soil and in the genial heat of the hotbed they would soon take root. By looking at the diagram "W' it will be seen that the hotbed is just an ordinary frame and sash stood over manure with enough soil on the manure to grow plants. The manure should be fresh and strawy, prefer- ably from a horse stable, but cow and horse manure mixed will do it fresh with lots of straw in it. This will not give such strong heat as the horse manure, but it will be steady and will not overheat the frame. A bed of this manure should be piled up in a heap and made firm by trampling. On the top of this place the frame, then put in about six inches of good soil and water well; then cover with the glazed light or sash. When this is finished bank more manure all around the sides of the frame to. help retain the heat at "N." Of course the frame should face south, and if there is a wall or fence on the north side so much the better. The housewife who likes flowers should certainly try to get a small frame and sash and make a hotbed. With only a very small frame lots of choice plants can be grown to set out in the flower garden later on, besides such things as tomato plants, celery, etc. FERTILIZERS GUARANTEED HOW TO BLAKE A HOT BED 140 acres workable, balance bush and pasture. yf. acre orerofiifiiil-iir 45 acres fall plowed, 60 acres in meadow.
