It is regrottable the waste that is taking place in valuable farm impleâ€" ments, and it is suggested that each and every farmer give this matter atâ€" tention, and pass the word along to "save the farm implements." The crop of 1925 will soon be secure against weather conditions.

The farmer can then comâ€" mence to ease off slightly. ‘There is one thing, however, that should be given attention.

The Natural Resources Inteligence Service, recognizing this intensity of motoring in the province, has just issued a most useful map, known as the "New Brunswick Motor Roads and Recreational Map." The map shows at a g‘ance the motor roads of the province, segregating in colors the trunk roads, secondary roads and other roads. Tourist camp sites are marked, as are also towns with hotel accommodation. An interest‘ng feaâ€" ture of the map is the indication of the accessible points to hunting and fAishing resorts, while the areas where game and fish ars to be found are shown in color. The map is on an easy seale and will fil a pressing need among thoso residents in the provin«s and others, who kave in mind a visit thereto. Copics of the man may be ubtained from the Director, Natural Resources Inteligence Service of the Dept of the Interior at Ottawa. The fact that these good motor roads are available has very materialâ€" ly increased their use. Touring partâ€" ies from other portions of Cansda and the neighboring states are visitâ€" ing the province in increasing numâ€" bers, to the benefit of both residents and visitors. "I was most del.ighted with the conâ€" dition of the roads down in New Brunswick," This was the way an enthusiastic Ontario motorist exprossâ€" ed his appreciation of the touring conditions in the province by the sea. New Brunswick has good roadsâ€" they are the result of longâ€"time conâ€" struction and of efficient upâ€"keep. They are practically all hard gravel roads, of which material New Brunsâ€" wick has an ample supply; the result is that even after a wet period, the drainage provided soon dries up the surface.

Seated in ceremonious Durbar with his host and prisoner, he suggested the not unusual courtesy of exchangâ€" ing turbans as a sign of friendship, and before the subjugated Emperor had had time to protest or think of a way out of the difficulty, his own simple muslin turban was on the head of his adversary, who had presented him in exchange with his national headdress, ornamented with jewels.

Mohammed Shah, it is said, pre served such a cool demanor over the affair that the conqueror became filled with anxiety lest after all he had not succeeded in possessing himself of the stone. Dismissing the Durbar as soon as he could, he retired in haste to his own apartments and tore the turban from his head. In the process of unâ€" folding it a little package fell out.

The price of cobalt metal was firm throughout the year at $2.43 to $2.67 per pound. The black oxide remanned steady at $2.19 and the grey oxide at $2.438. . Cobalt oxide and numerous cobalt salts made from the cxide find wide application in the ceramic and enamel industries and in the production of various pigments. Cobalt salts are also used in electroâ€"plating. m P t h Guct lins dPavleat PP It was not until 1903 that the big find was made at what is now the town of Cobailt, Ontario, during the construction of the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario railway, although a small tonnage of cobalt was reported from the nickelâ€"copper ores of sudâ€" bury for the years 1892 to 1894 incluâ€" sive. To date about $14,000,000 worth of cobalt and its compounds have been produced. This yield has been obtainâ€" ed almost entirely from the silverâ€" cobaltâ€"nickel ores of the Cobalt area. In 1924 the estimated Canadian proâ€" duction of gobalt products in the form of metal, oxide, salts, and residues was equivalent to 960,266 pounds of contained metal, for which the proâ€" ducers received $1,678,124. In the same year 170,513 pounds of metallic cobalt, valued at %82.225, was exported; also 2421 pounds of coâ€" balt alloys, valued at $11,930, and 490,â€" 505 pounds of cobalt oxides and salts, valued at $908,122, making a total value of $1,302,277. Some cobalt colors are imported for use in the ceramic industry, but the statistics are not segregated. Cobalt metal is used in the manuâ€" facture of stellite, which is a cobaltâ€" chromiumâ€"tungsten alloy used extenâ€" sively for making cutting tools. It is also employed in making certain kinds of tool steels and in the manufacture of magnet steels. s The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Departmnt of the Inâ€" terior at Ottawa says: Canada holds the recore As (HO world‘s largest producer of cobuit, all of ‘which comes from mines in the province of Ontario. * ~ lu RA® Ate+ #he Infet Natural Resources Bulletin. ‘"Gcab, the cld Canada is Largest Producer ow, : don‘t you Ae Germany is Gâ€"owins thirg Isn‘t going! e asked, holding the ‘s length. the tim{4 reply. eâ€"regeat>d, bringing r tha m Blight adjust! tional Boundary the United Stat certain anomali« lify the work Boundary Com: for in a treats on 24th F. concerning Dominion handled b; posed of o country, General o the Interic jesty‘s Co Maps western Woods, of 1872 bounda: the bo lakes ,a provide: ary poir most pc trar wat pas ti 1} Wt ber gtr ary gen diff lin« 11 @Fiy Bta 1w W tri m th vi i1 1 v n t} n 1 w EV PC res M Treaty Provides for Boundary Adjustme W T by 17 ®
