A number of the members of the Engi- neers' Club of Ontario passed through 'the Falls on Saturday last on the Bessie Butler on their way to Orillia, from which place they took the electric railâ€" way to Toronto. The trip commenced at Bobeaygeon,wllere last year's trip ended. The members of the club who were along, together with a few friends, were: C. H. Rust, City Engineer; J. G. Sing. Government Engineer, both of whom are past Presidents of the club; John Tol- mie, M. l’.; J. H. McGrcgor, C. J. Printz, W. A. Johnson, John Scott, W.G. Bligh, E. A. Collyer; E. A. James, editor Canadian Engineer: A. T. Malone, resident engi- neer, Newmarket canal ; O. N. Scott, J. A. Richardson. W. A. Bucke, B. J. Mc- Burney, T. C. Irving, jun., R. Home Smith, C. B. Hamilton, A. F. McCallum, W. C. Brennan, R. A. Baldwin, Chairman Executive ; T. L. Somerville, D. 1). James, C. W. Dill, E. H. Keating, T. J. McCon- key, R. Southam, J. S. Fielding and L. J. Street, the Treasurer of the club, who capably managed the expedition. Mr. W. Climie, representing The Globe was also with the party. (in the boat the party were the guests of Mr. M. J. Butler, Deputy Minister of Railways and Canals, and in the hands of Mr. J. llarris McClellan, Superintend- ent Trent Valley Canal, who was not only an ideal host but a veritable cyclo- pedia of information as well. The expressions of approval were very general among the visitors at findâ€" ing the work done along the whole route of so substantial and permanent a char- acter. The new steel lil't looks at Kirk- liold naturally drew the closest atten- tion, and the ease and precision with which these immense steel tanks lower- ed the. boat from the level of Balsam La he. the highest of the system, to the reach forty-eight feet below, as well as the massive linely-linislu-d character of the whole lockage work, was the sub- ject of much favorable connncnt. Boats can new travel on the canal i from Lake Simeoe to llenly's Falls, a dis-i tance of 105 miles. Between Simcoe and the high level at B.-.lsam the rise is 122 feet, this being overcome by six locks, one of eleven .l'eet. three 'of fourteen i'eet each, one of twenty-two feet, and the Kirklicld lift of 48 feet. Tin-re will be eight feet and four inches of water over the sill, and the locks will accom- modate vessels 140 feet long by ill ft. beam. A barge this size will hold 25,000 bashels of grain. The total length from Lake Simcoe to Trenton will be 210 miles. or, when the Severn works are completed from Georgian Bay to Tren- ton, it will be 272 miles. The supple- menlary canal from Gecko's liay on Lake ' Simeon to Newmarkct is 17; miles in ' length. 011 the main canal there are great contrilmtary lake and river waters which are controlled by dams and weirs, while there is a drainage area. of over one hundred square miles contrilnltary to the Newmarket system, over which the water can easily be controlled, thus assuring abundance 01' water for operat- ’ ing at all times of the year, and furnish-E ing as Well very large quantities of valu- i able water power. E Before parting. on behalf of the club, expressed to Mr. McClellan their appreâ€" . ciation of the most- hospitablc entertain- rnent provided. They were delighted to see the country and the work that was being on. In his reply M r. McClel- lan spoke of the soope ol' the work and good progress that was being made, es-l 1~ecial|y since the Deputy Minister, Mr. Butler, had taken it in charge. He hoped to see it opened all the way from Midland to the Thousand Islands. In New Jersey alone, he said there were $50,000,000 spent annually in the tour- ist trade, and the large and increasing lourist trailic i.) the waters served by this canal would soon In Lh'O this alone a very important source of revenue, in ad- dition to the local and through commod- ity trade. The character of the work - showed for itself. and he was delighted to have the Toronto engineers with him 10 inspect it. ._._._...._____. It is well known that Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, not only soldier in the ranks of the Saventeenth Connecticut legiment, carri id 3. musket and did full militaiy duty d :ring the war, but at a certain juncture when nalional finances wore at a low eba, he paid dollars out of his own pocket. Relative to this inci- dent, l'. ’l‘. liar-nun used to tell this story : “ While Mr. llnwe was counting out the money referred to, a stranger, who was a elcrgyma l, entered the tent and said he had heard of Mr. llowe's liber- ality, and had called to ask him to con- tribute t )ward building a church for his congregation. , " ‘Chu'rch'. church ?’ said Mr. Howe, without looking up from the bills he was counting. ‘Buiiding churches in war times, when so much is needed tosave our country.

The story is told that an English com- merrial traveller once made. a trip to Aberdeen, Scotland, and was asked by a prospective buyer to subscribe to the firize fund i‘or the local golf tournm’ncnt. lie. 1 artcd with live shillings, and as he. was interested in golf he remarkml that in would like to be kept informed of the progress 01' the tournmnont, so that he could look out for he result. . “Oh,” said the customer, as he picked up the live shillin :s and placed it. so- curely in his pocket, “ye needna dae that.

Ro’lno From Beneath Horu’c'Tnil. Much of the pleasure of driving in summer is spoiled by the horse con- stantly switching his tail, over the reins. Of course to a thorough horse- man who has the knowledge and strength to manage a horse this does not cut an important figure. But to women or others not capable of han- dling a horse with a vicious tendency it is very important to do whatever is necessary to keep the line from under his tail. The best thing I have ever seen ‘to prevent this, says a horseman, was a metal bar with the ends turned up for the distance of an inch and a half and then at right angles toward the mid- dle, horizontally, leaving an open space of about an inch and a half to let the lines down through. This can, of course, be made of any, sort of metal and does not look un- sightly, yet it answers the purpose perfectly. A good blacksmith can make 8. line holder of this sort that would serve as well as any. But care must be taken in attaching it. I have found by experience that there is no part of a horse's hide that can get the 'hair rubbed off so easily and look. so unsightly as that on top of his rump. In order to make a good job of put"! ting the holder on the back strap the heads of the rivets that come up through the leather strap to hold the metal piece should be sunk into the leather absolutely smoothly. When so fixed the back strap will not rub the hair off any more with the line holder on than not. In applying this to harness trimmed with brass it will, of course, look bet- ter if the little implement is made of brass. If a light brass bar cannot be BEN HOLDER ATI‘AOHED Tom“ 8 found to be used it is easy to cut at piece out of sheet brass, say. three» sixteenths of an inch thick. This ' ‘ be then hammered into proper sham, i the holes drilled and then filed down; i smooth and the edges rounded andé; polished. And if one does net want to l have the holder on the harness at any, time except “fly time" the best plan will be to have it so made thatdt can: be held in place by a clip, which can be taken off along with the holder it: self if it is desired. Feeding Alfalfa With Silage. _ An Iowa dairyman is quoted in the eighth annual report of the Iowa dec partment of agriculture as strongly recommending alfalfa in connection with silage for cows. He says: “In the countries where alfalfa hay can be successfully raised there is no bet- ter food to feed with silage. We find on one hand the silage is low in dry matter and high in carbohydrates. 0n the other hand, we find alfalfa hay' low in carbohydrates and high in dry matter and protein. Fed together in proper proportions these foods make a perfectly balanced ration, and it is safe to say that a proportion which would be proper would be to allow the cow to receive all of each of these foods that she will consume. She will thus solve the problem of the balanced ration for herself even better than her feeder can do.” Regularity In Feeding. Regularity in feeding hogs is a mat. ter of very great importance. The at [ gestive systems of swine and other stock as well adapt themselves to re- ceive food at a certain time, and if the food is not given at the expected time the animal is worried thereby... This results in loss of one kind or another. For this’reasou it is to the advantage ,. of the feeder as' well as of the hog to ‘make it a rule to feed him at exactly the same time each day. ‘Concerning the Calf. The heifer calf should develop mus- cle and bone rather than fat. Too much, cream for the calf is about as bad as too much money for the boy. Never sacrifice a heifer calf fromn' firs: class butter cow. All are needed to supply the depleted dairies. It is detrimental to allow a calf to run with a cow even for a feW'days. As soon as the milk is fit to use the alt and the cow should both behc. rustouwd to the separation. ' Never tie a calf with a rope about its neck 'l‘en chances to one it will set choked to death. A stout. stmp about the neck. with a ring and a :bain. is far better. A swivel will “Grills 9min 1MB Messiaen-... _; . ......- "““‘ HARNESS NEED. ' 596. TABLE LINEN selling at 480. 456.

Radical changes are necessary in the culture of apples On this continent or the United States,~and Canada will be forced in a fewlyears to import apples instead of exporting them. If it had not been for the enormous crops in the orchards of the Pacific and north- western states and provinces last year an apple famine would have resulted. Many of the middle western and eastern states reported small yields in 1908 due to failures in numerous in- stances, but generally because of pests. Many orchards were neglected, and in scores of places the trees were per- mitted to die because of inattention. In 1896 the total product of the crop of the country was 69,070,000 barrels, or 177,676,000 bushels. Since then bun. dreds of thousands of acres have been added, and methods of fruit growing have improved, yet the government reports show that the aggregate crop in all .tho states in the Union was not more than 25;000.000 barrels, or 62.- busheis. in 1908. Keeping Out the Bacteria. I cannot recommend too strongly, says a dadryman. the use of the small to; milk pull in eliminating dirt and. bacteria.

The timber for the lock gates is here and a planing machine for the work is being set up, and every thing looks as though the new locks would be in use this fall. The haying is nearly all done and is considered not quite up to the average crop, but with few exceptions the crop is well saved. The recent showers have wonderfully improved all other crops and the pasture. There are many campers and visitors here at present. Mr. Armstrong of To- ronto with his family are camped near the lock master's cottage. Mrs. J.

It was thought that if a good surface was secured and the road was dry that the material would work well. The crushed stone will be given a fair trial by the council and its capa- bilities thoroughly tested. The mater- ial secured by the town was hard and uniform. it was costing 600. a ton at the quarry and an additional 500. to de- liver it to Lindsay. The fine. stall costs nothing except a ton to load it. A committee consisting of His Worship the Mayor, Deputy Reeves W. W. Jordan, B. L. McLean and Alderman Babcock will look after the construction work on this stretch of roadwork. At last night’s meeting of the town council the question of the Grand Trunk service to Ilaliburton was brought up. During the discussion Mayor Begg made the following proposmon. That the Grand Trunk railway put on a way freight. to handle the increase of freight trailic‘ on the Haliburton line and that the through train to Haliburton, leavmg Lindsay at 2.40 p. m., and arriving ill Lindsay at 8.05 a. m., be run more as an They would be able therefore to hold that train at Halibur- mild arrive at its destination earlier .111 the evening. No freight would be at- 'tachcd to it, except perhaps a little the other side of Kinmount. The mayor mil frame a resolution and will present it at the next council meeting. 3.] Store in the County. llLL ESSEI’lCES at for 250. 80. 5 QUEEN CtfiliiES Pitts for 50.
