And we have thought that this Itatement of our method, with the reasons for it which we thought good then, might serve as food for reflection and study by some of our readers, even to suggesting better plan: to their minds. tlanee. Thin was a good heap: in the fall, and we thought it worth more than id it had lain exposed to sun and .rain in the yard during! the summer. Sometima this or the heap from the stables were increased by the green weeds dug in the garden, when we thought they were too large or too abundant to be left there, for they sometimes did get the start of us and make a rank growth, as they do on ’tho land of nearly every man who tries to cultivate many crops, be- sides doing his haying and gathering an almost deny harvest from May to November. Sometimes we made another com- post heap in the tall with all our eummer manure or most of it, and used it for fall sown crops or for topdreseing the beat of our grass land where we thought it would do more good than on the poorest, which we intended to break up and culti» vote as feet as we could get around to it. And we were not no anxloue for more grass as for market crops, for we felt that we could get forage ' quite as cheaply by growing oats, hay, corn stover from sweet corn, and corn fodder from drilled corn, as we could to try to bring up a lot of old meadow and pasture that ' needed cultivation for a number of years before it could be made to rm. a good crop of grass.

No returns of the amount of gold dredged by (her had been made up to the time Mr. Pearce left, but it W38 not thought in Edmonton that the amount could be large, as she had really only done a few days’ work. The Drolet Company, he said, is new building at Edmonton two large dredgee, the material and machinery for which are being brought from England. The machinery is first- clase in every reepect, and has been‘ made of extra strength. These dredgee are of the type which have been so successfully operated in New Zealand rivers. The company ex- i f l " 1P ". fidWA’ ‘- ‘ in the Saskatchewan, he said that ow- ing to the high water this year, and the’ demand for labor, there had been practically no hard dredging done this year. The only dredge of any size on tbs river was the Otter, 1" x canal one at Magrath and the OLllfir at Sterling. The emigration had been mostly from the United States, but sums of the settlers had come from Eastern Canada. Mr. Pearce paid a visit to Edmon- bozn, which he bays is growing satis- facto-rily.

The more recent explosion at St. Helen’s between Liverpool and Manchester, was even more notable in this respect. The explosion took place in a factory of chlorate of pot- assium, an exleeive material, of vshich eighty tons were destroyed. The ex- plosion was heard at Alderley Edge, thirty-nine kilometres from St. Hel- en’s, and at Murple, forty-five kilo- metres from that city. In many houses the windows were violently shaken, and near the scene of the catastrophe the ground was moved as by an earth- quake. Explosions May Be Ilezul at Great ”Ismael-u. That explosions can be heard and can produce an effect at a great dis- ;tance is well known, but precise sta- tistics on this point, have only lately been gathered. Taking into consider- ation the fact that much dependson the formation of the country and on the condition of the weather prevail- ing at the time it may be admitted that a cannon can be heard at adie- tanoe of twenty-five kilometres when the wind is favorable, that thunder can be heard at a distance of more than twenty-five kilometres and that an explosion of dynamite can be heard at a distance of thirty kilometres. The crops throughout Alberta were fairly good, Mr. Pearce 'eaid. and h'ed not August and September been un- usuilly stormy, the crop return from Alberta would have been a record breaker. Even as it was. the out crop had turned out wonderfully well, the only doubt about it being whether the grain is dry enough to keepafter the hot weather sets in next spring. This does not apply to the whole country, but to a large portion of it. A con- siderable quantity of barley of fair qmlity had been grown, and there I was a good local demand for melting purposes. The quantity of wheat grown was large, but not much of it was first-class; there wo'ul l, however, be a good deal of fair miliing wheat obtained. There had been an excel- lent crop of vegetables. and gener- ally, they had been safely housed. Butter was not produced in large quantities. owing to the scarcity of the class of labor necessary to pro- duce it, but the number of cattle in the country was increuing, and the butter industry would no doubt re- ceive an impetus in the near future. last two years.
