For centuries the blind lived in little! world of their own. In recent years] they have been endeavouring to break' out through the wall of darkness that, cut them off from the world of light and colour. They are claiming the, right to take their place in the nor^ mal life around them. How they are attempting to do it, is the story of the progress of the! Canadian National Institute for the Blind, and how far they have proc$.

Visitors to the Canadian National Exhibition in past years have shown great interest in the exhibit of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. This year the Institute will rabrooms, baskets, brushes, signal cones, articles of leather goods, rubber mats, house dresses, furniture, aprons and knitted goods will be demonstrated. The blind residents of Canada are taking a more normal part in the ordinary life of the community than they ever did before. How they do it, and what means they have found to overcome the handicap of blindness, can be seen and understood by those who visit the exhibit of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind at the Canadian National Exhibition.

Cattle Bloating in Ontario Reports of cattle and horses in the St. Thomas district suffering from bloating with some case® ending fatally were investigated recently by Professor R. G. Knox of the Department of Animal Husbandry, O.A.C.t Guelph, and Dr. Mcintosh, Ontario Veterinary College, Guelph, accompanied by F. S. Thomas, agricultural representative for Elgin County. The bloating of the cattle, Professor Knox stated is probably due to a change of diet, cattle that were on dry feed being turned on lush pSfituer. The condition that has caused cattle to chew bones and wood meal also has some bearing on the bloating, he stated. Dr. Mcintosh said that the chewing of bones and wood occurs as a result of deficiencies in the diet, and in this particular instance phosporus is the deficient one. The animals most frequently affected are young, milking cows. The condition usually manifests itself in the spring when cattle are first turned out to grass at the conclusion of a long stable-feeding period. Hays and grains grown in years of ought such as occurred last year are quite deficient in phosphorus and consequently animals may crave for this element, he said. Dr. Mcintosh advised local farmers who have reported cattle with deprav-appetites, to correct the conditi the addition of bran, oil cake, soy bean meal to the grain ratio: portant innovations. |_ The most interesting innovation is Toting. By this system a fisherman, lumberman, miner or sailor, may vote in any polling division within the province in which he resides, providing that on poling day he is more than 25 miles distant from the Polling place for which he is a registered elector. But his vote will he counted in the electoral district in which he resides and for which his name appears on the list of voters. He must sign a declaration on the back of his ballot. I The use of individual notification cards is a most satisfactory feature jpi the voter. By this system every elector on the list will receive by mail at his (post office) address a card telling him that he has a vote, and telling him where to cast it. This system has been previously applied in municipal elcetions, but never before has country-wide individual notification been attempted.

Yet these little items are appreciated by the office, and they read by everybody. The figures of imports of wheat into the Scottish ports of Glasgow and Leith for the first six months of 1935 show that Scotland has taken more Canadian wheat than in the corresponding period of the two previous years. The shipments of Canadian flour also were greater than for several years previous.

There were 84 food chain companies operating 2,381 stores in Canada in 1934, with sales amounting to $104,-614,500. In 1933 there were more chain companies but less sales, companies operating 2,398 stores v sales $1,231, 600 less than in 1934. Canada continues to be the chief source of supply of tomato ketchup and sauces to the United Kingdom, increasing her shipments in the 1935 period to 96,857 cases from 89,709 in 1934. The tomato soup trade also is almost entirely in Canadian hands.

C. 2852 issued orders regarding agricultural fairs which were comprehensively dealt with by his successor, the Great Agriculturalist, Shumnug. The festival at Delos and the Olympian games in ancient Greese were merely the opening days of gigantic fairs, and in the ancient Italy the vast annual assembly a: Voltumna merged itself into a famous mass meeting for social intercourse and trade. India with its great annual fair at Hurdwar on the upper Ganges, Russia with Nijni Novgorod, Germany w^ith Lepsic and Frankfort, England with Stowe, Barnet and Nottingham, all in turn have passed the torch west ward to Canada, where at Toronto, the Canadian National Exhibition or fair, for that is what it really is, and the Royal Winter Fair stand at the present day in the direct line as among the greatest annual agricultural fairs. Modern inventions may claim to have displased many methods of an older generation, but the radio, the telegraph, the motor car, and every other modern invention seem merely to have conspired to solidify the wisdom of the ancients in providing the thrift of an ever-widening social circle and the opportunity for a generous education through personal experience in the agricultural fairs of to-day.
