' CROPS WERE GOOD ‘ u ‘ “In Lanark County, Ontario, This Year ‘ ~80me Figures .â€" South Lannrk is among the favored counties this year. The crops were on the average very good. The yield of hay was abundant and it was saved . in first'clhss condition. The grain ‘ crop was everything that could be de- sired. It stood up well, which facilit 'tated the cutting of it very much. The straw was fairly large, and, as a rule, it was free from rust. The threshed ‘ grain weighed well. and one man Bald his best grain yielded 46 bushels per acre, and on an average it went 40 bushels per acre. Wheat, also, was a . good crop, and the grain threshed out a good return. Considerable quantities _, \ of corn was grown, and deSpite the difficulty of getting good seed and good germination, the crop was one of . gthe best they have had for some years. JDurlng the summer and late spring 1 therminfall was a little short of that '~ neéde‘dffe'r the best plant growth and ,’ -"- nsoed development, but nevertheless 'iii it'lthe crops are indeed satisfactory with . * v'thefieuception of potatoes, and they are 1‘- .rr-tting somewhat rapidly. l Quite a number of the farmers have gone in for silos, and they are well pleased with them and think their :money well invested. They claim "that it enables them to keep a greater amount of stock, which coincides with the findings of other farmers «who have tried silos. The people have all the manure hauling done, and the fall plowing is .well advanch and by the time Jack Frost pays his usual visit the plowing {will be done and the soil ready for the ‘action of the frost. USE CLOVER TH RESHER Men who make a practice of grow- ing clover for seed, as a rule, use a :special clover thresher, but it is pos- lsible to thresh clover with a common imill. It is necessary, however, to run 1the clover through several times, -' '[which makes it a slow process. In *qrunning through the first time, re- ,» ;move the tanner belt and allow the ‘ 'seed and heads to fall under the mill " iiuhere the ordinary small oats gather, ;and transfer the’ clover straw to the mow. Run the heads and seed through again in the same manner. In running :it through the third time, put 0n very ..little wind and continue to run it '_through until all the seed has been removed from the heads. . l 'i A LEADER OF WOMEN As a girl of seventeen, Miss Mac .1 ‘. rarthur, the secretary of the Women's T! * gTrade Union League, who has been *4; amattending the Trade Union Congress "'- _.,‘ c on behalf of her sex, took the keenest g i-‘interestin the welfare of the working women. The daughter of a Scottish '5 manufacturer, she came to London .after acting as her father's secretary, and was pressed into the service of the Women's Trade Union League by 2-,! Lady Dllke. When she first became ii}, secretary the League had 40,000 mem- . , )ers. That was about eight years ' a 0. Today there are close upon I200,000. Miss Macarthur holds that. _ , din spite of many reasons to the con- "trary, women take more interest in ' their unions than do the men. “It is all nonsense," she says, “this talk 2that women cannot be successfully - organized." i for THE HOUSEWlle f USES FOR LAUNDRY STARCH *’ - Common lump starch powdered ' makes a very good silver polish. It can be rubbed on dry or with a wet cloth and polished with chamois. A white table oil cloth that has be "’5 come dingy can be whitened by sprink- ‘ sling the surface with a handful of ,3 starch, rubbing with a very damp ii cloth and drying with a clean soft one. . To remove bloodstains from mater- v_ v ial. make a thick paste of clean lump starch, cover the spots, and lay in bright sunshine. When dry rub off, and if the-stain is not fully removed, repeat the process. Stains can be removed from wall~ paper by an application of starch, and it‘nlso makes a very good substi- I tute for whiting when w..shing win~ '. dows. ,. Fine old lace can be made to look “ like new if laid away in dry starch 3 ‘41- for several hours and then hung on , Jthe clothes line for some hours. 3 After the linoleum has been washed ‘ 1 1 and dried some thin boiled starch ‘ rubbed lightly over it Wnl give it a polished shizzy surface, which has the advantage I); being bright without be ing slippery; ’=. Starch for Blouses ?; If a lump of soda the rize of a nut f" is added to the starch in which blouses. oVeralls. and children's pina- fores are wrung through they will fave it loveiy gloss and will be much (asier to iron. They should be rolled 1;) when damp and left for a short lune befort ironing. Save Your Starch After usin; a bowl of starch do not throw away what remains of the mix- ture. Place on one side, and when the starch has rettled pour off the clear water, then place' the bowl in the oven for in’c minutes, and the starch 'w..l be found a hard cake, and can be put away readyzfor use another time, vWfl'» f“‘ ~____.â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"- *. whaa it will be found'as good as now.

WIlllBl Term from Jan. 2nd. - completed of Transcontinenth After long months of uninspiring spade work, of contention with labor shortage, and Of wrestling with en- gineering problems or a magnitude all great as the enterprise itself, the con- struCtibn of the Gran Trunk Pacific Radium.)v has now reached that satist factory sthge where every enfort seems to bring 'With it its own tangible re- sult. At the opening of the present season the track laying situation was as follot 6: On the main line _the track was 1,075‘mlles west of Winnipeg be- yous the Yellowhead‘Pass on the west tern slope of the Rocky Mountains. On the Alberta Coal branch the track had been pushed 21.4 miles south of Blokermlte. on the Tofield-Calgary branch steel had been laid 105.3 miles south of the former point‘ while the rail-head on the Young-Pr nce Albert branch stood 67.8 miles north of Young. The head of steel on the mountain division stood 104 miles east of Prince Rupert. Great progress has been made on all these lines.

From Cochrane east to the Quebec boundary, the main line was graded and the rails laid, a distance of 72 miles. From Cochrane west the rails were laid for 178.4 miles and, with the exception of two or three Cuts, the grading was completed for a further distance of approximately 75 miles. From Monoton to Quebec the N.T.R. was ready» to be taken over from the contractors as also from Quebec westerly for a distanca of 35 miles.‘ ' The 'present situation is that a gap exists on the section be- tween Winnipeg and Prince Rupert of approximately 400 miles and another gap on the section between Winnipeg and Cochrane of 184 miles. Five hundred and eighty-four miles is all that remains to be completed on Can- ada's National Transcontinental Rail- Way from coast to coast. _ aâ€"7â€"â€"â€"â€"___. Big” Canadian Tobacco Farm What is believed. to be the largest individual tobacco growing farm ‘in the world is located in Essex County, Ontario. It is not an uncommon sight to see fields ranging from one or tw-; acres up to twonty-flve or thirty acres. The. largest covers 2-60 acres. The . plants are raised from the seed in beds under cotton or glass till they are ready to plant in the field. which is usually about June 15. 1f the sta- son is favorable it requires about three months for the tobacco to ma- ture and ripen before cutting and ha: Testing. Most farmers hang the product in barns to dry. while a few dry by heat in barns specially constructed for th" purpose. The actual expense of grow- ing an acre of tobacco in Ontario, out- side of supplying the plants, which any farmer can raise himself. is estim‘tted to be $50. The crop yields from 1.000 to 2,000 pounds. The price varies from year to year; in 1909 it avemg d 15 cents a pound and in 1910 L7 cents. â€".~.. Powles’ Corners.
