The ROBERT GREIG 00., Linjuited Toronto. 3 l l “or. ran... an. agar; Friday, Nov. 1st, 1907i. ___.__._â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"'â€"fâ€"""'â€" Fruit Growers Should Organiz: . Mr. W. II. Merrill, writing in the Lin- dsay Watchman-W; rder, says: ; I have been requested by somd that are interested in fruit growing to give your readers a few pointers that I have gained in coming in contract with fruit growers in other localities. 1 haveil’ailcd yet to find a man that goes into, fruit say that it would turn down every, other product of the farm. True, we in this part of Ontario are handicapped} for a market, and are at the mercy of the few dealers that are handling fruit. Our or- chards are small and scattering, but the commercial apples that are grown throughout the County of Victoria are such as Ben Davis, Pewalkee, ;Stark, Wealthy, etc. Wherever the orchard has had half fair play it conmaresffavor- ably with any in Ontario, and the fruit is of a far better ch10 ' and better condi- tion than those of the Georgian Bay and Simcoe district‘s. For many years the growers in these districts labored against the difficulties that exist in Vic- toria County at present, but a number of years ago the Georgian Bay district organized into a co-oporative shipping association, and is at present the largest shipping association in Ontario, having upwards of 500 members growing from 1 to 40 acres of apples yearly. Mr. J. S. Mitchell, of ’l‘hornbury, was vice presi- dent and manager last year. The Sim- coo district organized; Mr. Wm. Bascom Orillia, President and manager. A momâ€" bcr of thisnssooiation gets the full val- no of his product less expenses, whether it be one barrel or one hundred barrels. Now the present quotation for iexport apples a1”: For No, 1. $3.75 to $4.50 per barrel; for N0. 2, $2.50 to $3.00 per bar- re1,,on board cars at shipping points in Ontario. At least one half the product of orchards in "Victoria will pass for No. .1 apples, as there are very few found wormy or defective, as No. 1 apples will allow one out of ten apples with a worm hole, and size is not considered if they are clean and smooth. This would make ave rage quotations about $3.50 per bar- rel for No. l. and 2, on cars. The‘ cost of picking and packing may be given as follows. Barrels 350. each, picking and packing, 250. per barrel, on the trees. Now there is no reason why any: dealer should have $1.65 per barrel forthe use of his money from here to Winnipeg or orther poimts. I think that an early or- ganization of the fruitgrowers would be a great benefit in this county, as a good many of the farmers are setting young orchards. One man on the Scotch line of Verulam,'who has two good bearing orchards with heavy crops, this year set 287 trees, and has ordered about 300 more for next spring setting, and a great many of his neighbors are now following him on a smaller scale, and I think that in a very short time the farmers of Vic- toria County will be getting as good value for their orchard productj as any- where clse, for as a rule they can grow as good commercial apples as, can be found, where a little attention is given to their orchards. The cost of pruning, mulching and spraying of a first class or- chard that is boaring estimates at about '20 cents per tree. ; Sem‘erville Council. 3 Council met- at Burnt River ion Oct. 11th, pursuant to adjournment.

Powles, of Chicago, 111., in a note to the “Gazette,” dated Oct. 27th, says: “ I wish to express my appreciation of the ‘Gazctte’ in general, and of the weekly sermon by Mr. Cope in partic- ular. I should like to know that all your readers turn to that inside page every week and read the suggestive, wise and thought-stirring sentences of this reverent Chicagoan. The ‘ sentence sermons,’ generally unsigned, in Can- adian papers, are also from Mr. Cope’s pen, and many of these nuggets are worth a year's subscription to the paper to a reader of open mind. There's the point. Too many have faith only in the ‘good old days,’ when there were rob- bers on the land, pirates on the sea, witches in the air and devils every- where.” Personals.

A channel about 800 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a depth of ten feet has been dredged, and navigation at this point has been considsrably im- proved as a result. At McLuren's Creek. a road will be thrown up and a bridge built, and this work will prove of great benefit to those who have to travel on the road between Lindsay and l'r‘enolon Falls, cutting five miles olf'the distance between those two towns. Conside 'ablc outside work on he Canal will be completed by about Dec». ember lst, when $160,000 will havobcon V ' spent on the canal, about $110,000 of it in repairs and new work, the balance in maintenance.

"3,. ‘ At present work is being carried onij Mr. Alex. lichardson with a staff of men at Goodorhum, on the Burnt River,- where a new concrete dam is being built. replacing the former dam, a wooden structure used for reservoire purposes. This dam is costing in the neighborhood of $4,000, and will be completed during rhis fall. Another gang is at Cobocon‘kf, where a wooden dam is being renewed. This work is under the direction of Mr; George Littloton, of Fenelon‘ Falls. _ A bridge across the Talbot River is being built on' concrete piers. The open-i ing of this river to navigation has made the construction of a. new highway bridge necessary, and it is being con« structed in accordance with an agree- ment entered in to. ' Mr. Jos. Yelland has a gang of men at work at J ack's Lake, where repairs are being effected to the dam, and in reelity a new structure being built. It is exâ€" . pee-ted that about the end of November will see the greater part of this work completed, and the season's operations will be brought to a successful close. The steamer Empire is being brought from Gamebridge, where she has been working during the greater part of the summer, to Lakelield, where she will be pulled out out of the water and some necessary repairs will be made to her, the nature of these repairs not having yet been decided upon. The tug, Bob Hall, and the Sovereign will be engaged right up until the close of navigation, attending the dredges at work and in towing. The Superintendent has just returned frOm a trip of inspection of the 'arious works in progreSS and expresses himself as pleased with what is being dono.â€"Peterboro Examiner. -. Making Butter from Whey. The Canadian Dairyman of October 19th gives an account of factories in Brockvillc separating the butter "fat from the whey after it is drawn from the cheese vat, and manufacturing butâ€" ter from the butter fat thus obtained from the whey. erG. G. Publow, Chief Instructor for Eastern Ontario. person- ally inspected the factories where this is being done, and strongly advises" the system being adopted where factories are large enough to warrant the expense. The Shearer factory held a meeting of its patrons. to discuss whether they would adopt this system or not, and do- cided to experiment for the balance of the season. The following day Mr. J. A. Hogan, the proprietor, set up a power separator and ran through 4,000 pounds of whey, from which obtained 14.40 pounds of butter fat, which would make 16 pounds of butter. At the present price of butter it is plain to be seen that a good profit can be realized from the separation of the whey. The whey can be handled just as sanitarin as the milk, and butter made from wucy cannot be detected from butter made from whole milk if the sanitary conditions are carried outâ€"Hastings Star.
