The five weeds occurring most fre- quently on the 400 farms visited by the Conservation Commission while on a special tour were Canada thistle, couch grass. wild mustard, ragweed and sow thistle. One hundred farms were visited in each of four countries, viz., Dundas, Carleton, Waterloo and Northumberiand in Ontario. In many instances, the weeds are very bad and increasing at an alarming rate. In Dundas, 98 percent. of the farm- ers visited report wild mustard; 88 per cent. report sow thistle, with 26 per cent. reporting it increasing. In Carleton, 59 per cent. report couch grass, 77 per cent. report sow thistle, with 22 per cent. reporting it increas- ing. Conditions were as bad in the other counties but these examples serve to show the real seriousness of the problem and the need for con- certed effort to deal with it. ; bottle recently devised for hasm e of physicians and chemistshas Q. zipper intended to protect liquids m the air during removal to another container.

It is not sufficient to dig ditches through a large area. discharging the water into streams incapable of carrying the in- creased rate of flow, and thus contri- bute to disastrous floods. In this con- nection it may be stated that floods on the Grand River in Ontario are partly attributed to this cause; thus, in a report it is stated that: “By the drainage of swamps. the water is car- ried off in a few hours which used to take weeks: in fact this has occurred in many swamps which formerly re- mainod full of water during the whole year.” The value of the land to be the reclaimed should be established beyond doubt. after careful considera- Ionic Protects Contents From Al! non of the inherent loss in watt! ”(Nation and flood prevention.

The criticism and ridicule are not, however, deserved by the original pro- ject but only by the irrational, slow manner in which it was executed. The canal project, in fact, has been subjected to precisely the same kind of management as the territory through which it passes. The chief valve of, a canal iies in connecting markets and resources, and, therefore, depends mainly on its outlets. The first outlet of the canal, the one inio Lake Ontario, is now. after necr'y a century of dilatory work, being com- pleted; the other, which affords ac- cess to Georgian Bay, still hangs fire. 80 long as the outlets to larger mer- kets or for through-traffic were lack- ing, only a very limited local traffic could develop. “Since the principal resource of the region it stray was timberâ€"a staple which needs rtiore than local marlzz-Ls for a profitz‘iii': and rational develop- mentwthe “mine of the incomplete canal was limited indeed. Since this outlet was unavailable, the timber, owing to the expense of transportation to market. was cut in a more or less wasteful manner. As a result, the overnment derived scarcely any pro- t from this industry, and the returns to the lumbermen were also relatively small. “If the cheap transportation which a canal furnishes had been in exist- ence earlier, much more conservatixe logging operations could have been carzi ied on; mu”. closer utiliration of materia‘ umid haxe been made iy mills situated along the route; much more mm: could have been seeired from this resource by both opera and the people, and. moreover. tl-e source could have been managed for perpetuity. as a basis for manufactur- ing industries. “As it is, the principal local fr fight, that from me. timber lands. is almost exhausted,-and a large part of the use- fulness of the canal has gone, as least in so far as local development is concern ,d. Outside of the water- power which it supplies, through traf- fic, which may follow upon the com- pletion of t.‘-.:' two outlets, can alone justify its existence for the present; unless by careful planning and man- agement a revival of the industries 0 ‘I dopendng on the forests can be managed.” In butter Canada is not doing as well as in cheese.

This is a recent discovery of Docto: Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo, N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce’g 1 Hospital for several years proved that there is no other eliminator of uric acid that can be compared to it. For those easily recognized symptoms of inflam- ,mation-â€"-as backache, scalding urine ‘ and frequent urination, as well as sedi- l ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the i blood has caused rheumatism, it is asimply wonderful how surely “Anuric” acts. The best of results are always obtained in cases of acute rheumatism in the joints, in gravel and gout, and invariably the pains and stiffness which so frequently and persistently accom- pany the disease rapidly; disappear. _ -L-._- Q r Go to your nearest drug store and simply ask for a «BO-cent package of “Anuric,” manufactured by Dr. Pierce, or send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for a large trial package. If you suspect kidney or bladder trouble, send him a sample of/ your water and describe symptoms. Doctor Fierce’s chemist will examine it, then Dr. Pierce will report to you, without fee or "charge. NOTE: â€"French scientists affirm that “Anuric” is thirtyâ€"seven times more active than lithia in eliminating uric acid, and is a harmless but reliable chemical compound that may be safely given to children, but should be used only by grown-ups who actually wish to restore their kidneys to perfect health, by conscientiously using one boxâ€"or more in extreme casesâ€"as “Anuric” (thanks to Doctor Pierce’s achievement l is by far the most perfect kidney and bladder corrector obtainable.
