This road will be graded into Fort Nelson this year and steel laid on two-thirds of it. Next summer the steel will be carried forward to Nelson in time to handle a part of the crop. While the con- struction of the railway has been making rapid progress equal energy has been shown in the equipment of the port. All supplies for work at Port Nelson had to be taken from Halifax through the Straits, and .yearly a dozen freighters have suc- cessfully made the trip and to a con- siderable degree settling the question of the feasibility of navigating these waters. A huge dredge was towed from Toronto to Port Nelson and has been at work for two seasons straightening and deepening the channel. ' Docks, wharves, and ter- minal yards have been constructed, and plans secured for a transfer ele- vator to be built next season. In preparation for opening of this grain route wireless stations are now being established along the Straits and lighthouses erected where required. So that on the completion of the rail- way there will be no delay in utiliz- ing this new route to market the Western crop. Development of Resources. ' In addition to providing a new route for Western trade, the railway will permit of the deveIOpment of the valuable fish and mineral resources of Hudson’s Bay, now practically un- touched. The fisheries ‘are among the most valuable in the world, and there is plenty of evidence that the 3 minerals or that district are equally valuable. Along the line from Le Pas to Port Nelson are great areas of ; good agricultural lands which in time f wil_l-support a large population. EXT year will see a new outlet for the products of the Canadian West, for by that time the Hudson’s Bay Railway will be completed, Port Nelson harbor sufficiently dredged and equipment provided, and a huge transfer elevator built. Then the West will be brought closer to Liverpool, the long railway haul dispensed with, or, in other words, the Back Door of Canada will be opened. Since the first agricultural settle- ment on the prairie there has been a demand for the construction of this railway. It was repeatedly promised, and as often the promise remained unfulfilled. When Hon. Frank Coch- rane became Minister of Railways he personally inspected the proposed route. sailing through the Straits and across the Bay to Churchill and Nel- Sketch by McConnell. son. He decided that if the road was built that Port Nelson was the best terminus, and his decision has since been unanimously approved. From Port Nelson he made the journey to Le Pas, and from this inspection decided to immediately build the railway and equip the port on Hud- son’s Bay. . .0 0.0. 0.08.03.03.000.0.0.0.000”.0. 00. 0.0.0. 20000008200000.0000000000 GINO The construction 01 this railway and port through a comparatively unknown country has been done in record time.

In the production of munitions of .ar in Canadi 145 factories are now engaged on the $152,000,000 order placed here for the British Govern- ment by the Canadian Shell Commis- sion. In addition to this huge order there are at least $10,000,000 worth ofmunitions being produced for the Russian Government. Mr. D. A. Thomas, representative of the British ,Government in Canada, has inspected all our munition factories in Ontario and the other Eastern provinces, and has stated that their capacity and effi- ,ciency have been a revelation to him and further great orders are a cer- tainty. “Already the Canadian pro- duction of shells amounts to 30,000 per day. and soon will reach 50,000. The production of fixed ammunition has been greatly increased, and will Large Increase in Domestic Exports â€"Statement by Hon. Dr. Reid. The balance of trade as shown by July returns ~till continues in Can- ada’s favor. Our people are buying less abroad and selling more, build- ing up a balanc: in our favor that must have a beneficial effect on the financial and industrial stability of our country. ASSISTANCE PROVIDED FOR CROP MOVEMENT The total Canadian trade for the month of July reached $100,000,000, according to the statement issued by the Hon. J. D. Reid, Minister of Cus- toms. For the corresponding month of 1914 the total trade amounted to $93,000,000. of July domestics exports reached $45,600,000 and foreign goods ex- ported trom Canada $16,000,000, compared with $41,000,000 domestic and $8,000,000 foreign tor the cor- responding month of 1914. Eleven million dollars worth of animals and their produce was exported during July, being a substantial increase over the corresponding month last year. Manufactured goods also show a good increase; the exports being $12,500,000 against $5,800,000 for July, 1914. Minister of Finance Offers to Co- operate With Banks. The Minister of Finance has spe- cially drawn the attention of the Bankers’ Association to the provisions of the Finance Act of 1914, under which advances may be obtained in Dominion notes upon approved col- lateral. The Minister thinks that the Canadian crop will this year be un- usually large and valuable, but that owing to war conditions and the state of the exchanges the movement will likely be slow. This means that the financial demands in connection with the crop movement will be heavier and more prolonged than previously. While the banks are in an unusually liquid condition and probably able without assistance to handle the situation, the Minister feels that the unusual demands of grain customers might result in cur- tailed banking accommodation to other sections of the community, and he therefore 'Irges the banks not to hesitate to avail themselves of the priviieges of the Act. As Dominion notes issued against grain bills would be retired from time to time as the crop was sold there is no reason to apprehend a redundancy of note cir- culation should the banks freely avail themselves of the invitation of the Minister. With abundance of funds available for the crop movement there will be less likelihood of its being pressed for sale, at least against the desire of producers and dealers. While the exports are booming there is a. decrease in the merchan- dise entered for consumption. Dur- ing July $36,000,000 worth of goods were imported, made up or $20,000,- 000 dutiable and $15,000,000 tree goods. This is a falling of! for the corresponding month of 1914, when the imports amounted to $42,000,- 000, made up of $26,000,000 dutiable and $16,000,000 free goods. The featun~ of the statement is the large increase in the domestic and foreign exports. During the month For the four months of the present fiscal year, ending July 3lst last, the total Canadian trade was $371,000,- 000, compared with, $306,000,000 for the four months of the corresponding period last year. Last July $13,000,- 000 worth of coin and bullion was exported.

[Prepared by United States department of agriculture] An unusual number of complaints have been received this year by the department of agrimlture from per- sons who say that ants are injuring their 14%).]: andg dens. As a matter of fact, these ants do little harm, and the injury that is attributed to them is usually caused by something else. In large numbers, however, the small conical nests which they build on lawns are somewhat unsightly 'and on this account it may be desirable in some cases to destroy them. Where there is only a small area to be covered the simplest method is to drench the nests with boiling water. Another simple remedy is to spray the lawn with kerosene emulsion or with a very strong soup wash prepared by dissolving any common laundry soap in water at the rate of one pound or one-half pound to :1 gallon of water. Such methods are particularly well adapted to small lawns and for the or- dinary little lawn ant. In feeding potatoes to dairy cows from one-half peck to one peck should be fed to start with. They should be given raw and should be run through a root cutter to prevent choking the cows. An excessive feed of potatoes to a dairy cow is liable to cause scours, but as much as one-half bushel a cow :1 day has been fed without bad re- sults. In addition to the nutrients con- tained potatoes give succulence to a ration. a factor of importance in feed- ing dairy cows. The German experiments with pota- to flour for bread during the war illus- trate the food value or the potato. For larger ant colonies of other spe cies. bisulphide of carbon. :1 chemical which can be purchased at any drug store, will be found effective. This substance can be placed in the nest by means of an oil can or small syringe, the quantity required varying from one-half ounce for a small nest to two or three ounces or more for a large one. An oil can with a long spout is aconrenient instrument, as it can be inserted into the nests and the liquid injected without its being brought close to the operator‘s nose, for the fumes of bisulphide of carbon, although not poi- sonous, are nauseating. To facilitate the entrance into the nest of the chem- ical, the ant hole can be enlarged with a sharp stick or iron rod. After the bisnlphide of carbon has been injected, the opening should be closed by pres- sure of the foot in order to retain the bisulphide. This will penetrate slow- ly thoughout the underground chan- nels of the nest and kill all the inmates. It is important to remember that while bisnlphide is perfectly harmless it kept away from all fire, it is very inflamma- ble and may, under certain circum- stances, explode when ignited. In Germany, where the potato crop is prOportionately far greater than in this country, the question has been more thoroughly studied. The tubers may be used for feeding cows. horses, sheep and pigs, but they are best adapted for pigs. To secure the best results with swine the potatoesshould first be cooked and than made into a thick mush mixed with the cornmeal or other grain. If skimmilk is added the value of the feed is much increased. Potatoes For Stock Feed. The heavy production and the low price of potatoes have directed attention to their value for stock feed. Hitherto this subject has not received much at- tention in this country because under ordinary conditions other feeds are un- doubtedly much cheaper and better. Some estimate that even at 15 cents a bushel it is more expensive to feed po- tatoes to stock than it is to feed silage, while on the other hand it is scarcely probable that the farmer can raise po- atoes for much less than 30 cents a bushel. Their actual value for feed de pends upon many factors, but it is bet- ter to make some use of the potatoes on hand rather than let them rot. a hole the same size in the bottom of the gate post and place it over the bolt, as shown in the cut. Fasten the gate at: the top with a piece of strap iron bent and bolted as shown.â€"South- ern Agriculturist. Except for the unsightly appearance of their nests, however, the lawn ants do no appreciable harm. They enter houses very rarely and. on the whole, may be said to do no harm of any kind except in so far as they lessen the at- tractive appearance of the lawn. On the other Land, it is quite possible that by bringing up from the lower depths sand and earth they may distinctly in- crease fertility by forming a top dress- ing or soil mulch, and at the same time permit better aeration of the earth.
