Unlike the government’s scheme, the Opposition policy will recognize no particular road but will be managed for the peo- ple, assuring them all the advantages The party of progress in Canada, the Conservative party. has given an- other proof that it possesses a keen grasp of our requirements for better transportation facilities. The 'West demands additional outlets for its grain. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Without a moment’s consideration as to the feasahility of his scheme, proposes to take seven years to construct a rail- way across a barren country, which will he presented to a private com- pany and thus attempts to solve the difficulty. The leader of the Opposi- tion. by acquiring the Canadian Paci- fic from North Bay to Port Arthur, proposes to provide shipping facilities to the east at once. The Canadian Pacific at present has only one-tenth of the traffic needed to keep that sec- tion of their system fully occupied. This clearly proves that a second east- ern link to a transcontinental railway is unnecessary. The Conservative party declare that by giving the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern, Grand Trunk and Intercolonial run- ning powers from North Bay to Port Arthur, the road will become paying property and will be fully utilized. All railways will be treated alike. to be secured. ANOTHER GRAND TRUNK PACIC GRAFT. The Grand Trunk Pacific is to have one of the greatest grafts on record in connection with the purchase of their supplies. Under the contract they can import free of duty: tents, camp equip- ment, provisions, flour, pork, etc., The liberal press has been paintinga glowing picture of the amount of freight which will pass through Cana- dian ports, after the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway is completed. In the contract which the government pro- poses to enter into the company, not one word appears to justify such a claim. The company can drive a coach and four through the agreement, and already preparations are being made at Portland, one of the leading United States ports, to handle Grand Trunk Pacific freight. The Conservatives have offered a policy which will com- pel any company using the govern- ment line from North Bay to Port Arthur to forward all their freight through Canadian terminals. There will be no dodging that issue. The Canadian Northern, Canadian Pacific, ‘ Grand Trunk, Grand Trunk Pacifici and Inter-colonial will all use the nationalized link from the east to the west. and will therefore be forced to provide Canadian outlets for their traflic. The people of Canada will then be given all the adyantages which the city of Portland is so anxiously awaiting. The Conservative policy is a railway operated for the people; the Liberal policy is a railway to be presented to the Grand Trunk Pacific, represented by Senator Cox and his associates. There is only one choice between the two proposals, and the people will prefer to cultivate their own pockets instead of filling the cof- fers of the Grand Trunk Pacific.

Why a big concern expecting to take in hund1 eds of thousands of dollars dur- ing the next few weeks should impose on the local press throughout the country for free advertising is some- thing we can hardly understand, and on the other hand it is equally unex- plainable why the local press is so foolish as to give dollars’ worth of space for a pass to What has so often proved a gigantic farce. The manage- ment of the \Vorld’s Fair at St. Louis, too, is possessed of torrents of gall and we presume that every paper in the country is favored weekly with enough copy to fill a couple of pages at least.

'Winter rye, hairy vetches and crimson clover as fodder cropsâ€"An interesting co-‘-operative experiment was made for the firsu time by sow- ing winter rye, hairy vetches and crimson clover in the autumn for the purpose of producing green fodder in the following summer, The reports show that the crimson clover re4 wind the greatest injury 'from the early ipring frosts. The highest in- dividual yields were produced by the hairy watches. In the average re- sults, however. the winter rye sur- passed the hairy vetches by 420 lbs. of green fodder per acre, but the quality of the feed of the latter was superior to that of the former. In tenout of a dozen tests. the hairy vetches were eaten readily by farm animals, and seemed partlcularl) 'oy farm animals, and seemed particular- ly suitable as a feed for hogs. A; Bruce farmer reported that “ thew hairy vetches gave a iarge yield, and were relished by all classes of ani- mals. ” ‘ Fertilizers with winter wheat.-â€"In the co.operative experiments with different manures applied in the Spring of the year, the average re- sults show a yield of 29.7 bushels of Winter wheat from an application of one hundred and sixty pounds of nitrate of soda. per acre, and 35.7 bushels from a top dressing of twen- ty tons of well rotted cow manure per acre. The unfertilized land gave an average yield of wheat per acre of 22.7 bushels. The yield of wheat from one hundred and sixty pounds 01 nitrate of soda surpassed the yield from four hundred pounds of common salt by 3.5 bushels per acre. Nitrate of soda. when applied in. the Spring, gave better results than when ap- plied in the autumn. The usual cost of nitrate of Soda is about three and one~half cents per pound in small quantities, and three cents per pound in ton lots. All three varieties are bearded. The chaE of the Imperial Amber is red, and that of the others is white. The grain of each variety is red, hard and of good quality. All three varieties are rather weak in the straw. The Imperial Amber is a close rival to the Dawson’s Golden Chafi in yield of grain per acre. Varieties of winter Wheat.â€"â€"Three varieties of winter wheat were dis- tributed throughout Ontario by the Experimental Union in the autumn of 1902 for co-operative experiments. Good reports of successfully conduct- ed experiments have been received this year from eighteen Counties. ex- tending from Essex in the South to Haliburton in the North. The fol~ lowing is the average yield inweigh- ed bushels of grain per acre for each variety for five vears at the College and for 1903 throughout Ontario; Imperial Amber, 61.0 bus. (College), 24.9 bus. (Ontario); Buda Pesth. 57.2 bus. (College). $21.4 bus. (Ontario); Turkey Red, 53.4 bus. (College). 20.7. Result of Experiments with Winter Crops Throughout Ontario. C A ZAVITZ.

She had been in failing health for a number of years, and al- though the friends were aware that in all probability her death would be sudden. still when it came it seemed with but little warning. The funer- al service was conducted in the church by the Rev. J. W. M‘agwood. of Arthur. in the absence of the pas- tor Bev. J. Truax, who is away on his wedding trip. The mourning relatives are her husband and two sons. Philip, of this place. and Geo., of Glenboro’, Manitoba. The remains were interred in Reid’s cemetery on Wednesday. 23mm Fall Wheat ..........

They have dispelled the silly notion that one kil‘d of food is needed for brain another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body,- but it will suStain every other part. Yet. however good your food may be. its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming 'by taking regular doses of Green’s August flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion. stimulates the liver to healthy action. purifies the blood. and makes you feel buoy- ant and vigorous. You can get this reliable remedy at Darling’s Drug" Store. 0 ti. Altogether the boom in fall paint- ing is a healthy sign of the times. It is an awakening: to natural advan- tages. Paint men generally, consider the fall a very natural painting time. The weather conditions are specially favorable to good painting. There is less likelihood of rain and one does not. have to contend with the mois- tureâ€"causing the paint to peel. check or crackâ€"that is usually in a build- ing after the spring rains. Then, too, if a house needs painting, it certain- ly ought to be painted as aprotection against the inclement Winter weath- er. Another advantage of the fall season is that there are no gnats or fliesâ€"~the bane of Spring paintingâ€"to stick to the fresh paint. Again, property owners. especially in agricultural districts, have more time after harvest to give personal attention to the improvement of their prOperty. It pays to paint just as soon as a buildmg needs it. for the longer it is put off, the more it will cost to get the right- sort oi job. This proves particularly true in the fall season. Pamt dealers in this locality state that the fall paint trade this year will be alarge factor in their busi- ness. The property owners each year are looking with increasing fa- vor upon the season for painting. The growing importance of the autumn months as a house painting season is worthy of note. Not many years since but few persons thought of painting in the fall ; to-day it is a recognised painting season. The ad- vantages it affords are practical and the wonder is that they were not long ago appreciated. Good Reasons Why Buildings Should be Painted in the Fall.
