Great Rejoicing By Rheumatic Cripples If So Crippled You Can‘t Use Arms or Legs, Rheuma Will Help You or Nothing To Pay. Get a bottle or Rheuma today and wear a satisfied smile on your face tomorrow. 1 It‘s a remedy that is astonishing the whole country, and it‘s just as good for gout, sciatica and lumbago as for rheumatism. Mr. McIntosh‘s action comes as a result of the demand by melon growâ€" ers of the Burlingtonâ€"Aldershot disâ€" trict and. of British Columbia for the adoption ‘of regulations governing the grading and packing of melons. Mr. McImntosh was approached by the Aldershot growers at the time of the Ontario fruit growers‘ convention in Hamilton early in March, and some weeks previougs to that he had reâ€" ceived a deputation of iBritish Columâ€" bia growers who were working along the same line. It drives the poisonous waste from the joints and muscles â€" that‘s the secret of Rheuma‘s‘ success. But we don‘t ask you to take our word for it; go to the W. M. Stewart Drug ‘Co., Limited, or any druggist, and get a bottle of Rheuma today; if it doesn‘t do as we promise get your money back. It will be there waiting for you. SIX According to information received from (G. E. MclIntosh, Canadian fruit commissioner, suggested grades for cantaloupes and dimengsions for a standard crate have (been drafted by the commigsioners and forwarded to the district inspectors.for Ontario and for British Columbia, to be discussed with the growers in their respective territories, wth a view to, having the grades made compulsory, esta‘blished as recommended grades. It is also proposed to have a orate standardized as a cantalowpe package in Canada.

Highways / Concrete Ill Montreal Have you ever stopped to figure what proporâ€" tion of each year‘s paving appropriation is spent to maintain nonâ€"permanent pavements? And do you realize that every dollar thus spent for upkeep means that much less mileage of new paving each year? Concrete pavements aré permanent. They need no costly upkeep. They staunchly withâ€" stand the heaviest traffic and provide a smooth, safe, comfortable driving surface for every type of vehicle. f The more a community adds to its mileage of concrete pavements, the less it needs to spend each year for upkeep. Each ensuing year‘s apâ€" propriation becomes increasingly an approâ€" priation for NEW ROADS which, built with concrete, save money for the taxpayer and reâ€" duce the cost of motoring. Let Your Taxes be Spent on â€" Mileage instead of on Upkeep Canada Cement Company Limited Canada Cement Company Building Phillips Square Montreal Mr. McIntosh is awaiting the arâ€" rival of the petitions which have been signed recently by the growers, and is prepared to vigit this district or. send a representative ‘here for the purpose of assisting in bringing the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. Inspection Service The commissioner is well pleased with the manner in which the shipping point inspection hags been received by the growers. He ‘believes that the rapid growth of this service indicates that the object which the department hopes to attain, namely, marketing on the ‘basis of a government certificate, ig gradually becoming estahlished.> He feels that if success is encountere1, the department has done tremendous things for the fruit and vegetable consumers, as ‘well as for the growers Mr. McIntosh states that Inspector Jarvis and Blessinger are reasonably sure of ‘being employed again this season in the Burlington district, and that the department is prepared to provide shipping point inispection service in any district where the tonâ€" nage moved is approximately. suffiâ€" cient to cover the costs of such service Dealing with the matter, Mr. Mcâ€" Intosh writes: "Believing that grading and standardization of perishable fqood products is the only safe way for the grower to market such commodities, I can assure you this ‘branch will do everything within ‘our power to assist any movement of a ipractical nature which is in the interest "of fruit or vegetable ; production. While I am fairly well acquainted with the, marâ€" keting conditions which have &rigen each season Ibecause of the movement of immature fruit, I feel that the inâ€" troduction of compulsory measures: is always ‘better .received and â€" more strictly adhered to if the fruit growâ€" ers themselveg can be made to realize the injury ‘which sueh practices bring about. I am pleased to note that this now appears to be the gituation in the Aldershotâ€"Burlington district in reâ€" spect to melons or cantaloupes, and that they are gincere in their desire to have at last a measure of control."

Can Expect Results _ The growers of this district will be pleased with the statements made by the commissioner. Under the direction of Albert Scheer, the growers of the, Alderghot melon district have ‘been very active recently in pushing for, the establishment of grades â€" and, standard packages. They have bee:, given every encouragement by Distric} Inspector ‘Gabel and (by Inspecto} Jarvis, and iapparently their effor s are to Ibear fruit. +# RULES OF ROAD « IN FAIR NIPPON Calgary THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO from the skins ‘of sharks, captured in Chinese seas, which are covered naturally with a mass of hard granuâ€" lations. ‘Thege roughnesses explain the name of the Jleaither, which in deâ€" rivation ds identical with the French word "chagrin,,; in the finighing proâ€" cesses they are filed smooth, and the beautifullyâ€"marked skin is dyed in a variety of collors‘ So strong is fit that it destroys the steel files with whiich it is worked, and will withstand even malicious wear and teair. ‘Old boxes and swordâ€"cases made of shagreen, dating drom the seventeenth centuiry, are wtill in perfect condition, for the skin in its hardness resembles marble rather than any familiar fdorm of leaâ€" ther.

In ‘the seventeenth and eighteenth @®iituries, when it had a great vogue, shagreen, says the London Telegraph, was made from wild aggses‘ skins, and the ‘characteristic markings were inâ€" troduced by rolling into it the hard seeds of cerealy or lead pellets. The shagreen ‘of today, however, comes Ordinary toilet pins are also in less demand, for people are more. careful of. them:. ~â€" TotlopamtimdressiBakseLs are still the largest users of pins, but even they are much more economical, and no longer waste them. In the old days they used to throw away used pins at the end of the working day and start with a~ fresh supply next morning. Now the sweepers go round with a large magnet and collect all used pins for future service. The dressmakers‘ demand for brass pins used to be large ‘but since the magnetâ€" "sweeping!""‘ innovation they now use steel pins . ' Even the old reliable "safetyâ€"pin" has gone out of fashion, for woman no longer seems to need them for her toilet. Safety pin â€" makers ‘blame modern lingerie changes, "oneâ€"piece" costumes, ietc., which do not require pins. Woman no longer finds it necâ€" essary to "pin herself together"; she has so little to pin on, say the disgustâ€" ed makers. es Still sadder is the fate of the hatpin. So. few are worn nc.)'w, with the modâ€" ern "cloche" hats and tightâ€"fitting headgear, that hatpins are more or less a luxury or a novelty. One manufacturer sadly relates that only a ‘ few month ago a young woman entered his store, and seeing a trayâ€" ful of hatpins, naively asked, "What are these things for?" Miss 1925, with ‘her shorn locks, no longer needs hairpins, and the abbrevâ€" iated / skirts and gossamer costumes now affected, no longer require so many ordinary pins. So the pin makâ€" érs are in despair. One leading manuâ€" facturer declared that the bobâ€"shingle fashion has cost "his firm £10,000 yearly in hairpins alone. The 35 per cent. duty imposed ‘by the Fordney tariff has ruined the export trade to America (which in preâ€"war days never made any pins at all). "One man‘s meat is another‘s poison" has long '_b'een an established maxim, and if hairdressers have proâ€" fited by the modern fashion for bobâ€" bing and shingling, the poor hairpin manufacturer has suffered corresâ€" pondingly. Perhaps more, for pin makers like the makers of mustard, depend largely on public waste for their profits. It was a millionaire mustard maker who admitted he made his money, not from the quanâ€" tity of mustard eaten â€" but from the quantity folk Jleft on their plates, and the modern pin maker admits it is not the number of these useful adâ€" juncts to the toilet that are, or have been, in use, but the number lost or thrown away that counts.

These ‘bacteria atâ€" tach themselves to Ithe small roots and form what we ordinarily call nodules, they are in â€" reality galls. These bacteria rob the plant of some of its food material and also gather nitrogen from the air and which after digestion is completed is deposited in these galls or nodules in the form of mitrate which the plant then uses for its own benefit. Here we have an exâ€" ample of coâ€"operation in nature, these bacteria live on the plant and gather nitrogen from the air which the plant in tur?L makes use ofâ€"each lives on the other for the mutual ‘benefit of both. This then explains ‘briefly why clovers are such good sgoil builders. Thege beneficial bacteria do not assoâ€" ciate with any other class of crops. One analysis of the sweet clover crop on one acre of ground showed a total of 228 lbs. of pure nitrogen in the roots and tops in one seagson‘s growth. This is equal to the nitrogen in 1500 lbs of Nitrate of Soda. Without Salves or Cutting Thousands who ‘have piles have not learned that quick and permanent reâ€" lief can only be accomplished with inâ€" ternal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with ointâ€" ments and suppositories will remove the cause. For average conditions not less than 20 lbg. of seed per acre of sweet clover or alfalfa should ‘be sown and 15 lbs. of red clover. Seed should be sown as early in the growing season as culâ€" tivation of the regular crop will perâ€" mit in order to get a fair top by freezâ€" ing up time‘{in the fall. In orchards where it is desirable to cultivate â€"up to nearly the first of August it is someâ€" times difficult to get sufficient moisâ€" ture to germinate the seed and so the cover crop does not get a very big start before winter sets in. It is not advisable to sow too soon ‘because if the plants get too ‘big they rob the trees of too much moisture and the fruit crop suffers. ‘One needs to cultiâ€" vate the ability of ‘being a good guesser to determine the best time each year to sow the cover crop. Cover crops should ‘be plowed down early in the spring to prevent them from robbing the trees of too much moisture. Piles Go Quick Sweet clover stands first and foreâ€" most among plants as a soil builder, alfalfa and red wlover are close folâ€" lowers. t All ‘clovers, vetches and peas are legumes and as such have the power of gathering nitrogen directly from the air. Rye, rape, buckwheat, etc., have rot that power and their uses does not increase the fertility of the soil to the Green manures and cover. crops along with commercial fertilizers are the only means by which many garâ€" deners can maintain their soil fertility Cover crops which are used to supply the humus content must possess cerâ€" tain characteristics. These may be briefly enumerated as follows: ~ 1. Make rapid growth. _ R 2. Be fairly easy to start. 3. Seed easily procurable. Crops most useful for «whese purâ€" poses are rye, sweet clover, vetches, red clover, ‘oats and pers, cow peas, rape, ‘buckwheat and millet. Cropping systems which have been employed ‘by farmers, fruit growers and vegetable growers of the past years have been such that this balance of nature was somewhat upset. Clean cultivation has prevented the accumuâ€" lation of plant residues and so other means must ‘be employed to replace these materials. Manures of various kinds have been used to supply the deâ€" creasing humus content, but the price of this material has increasged so much as to be almost prohibitive. Cover crops are those crops grown for the purpose of plowing under to increase the vegetable and humus conâ€" tent of the soil. Tihese,crops may be sown at any time during the growing season and a number of different varâ€" ieties may ibe used. Humus is the one consitituent in the makeâ€"up of a ferâ€" tile soil that is most essential. So many things depend upon or are reguâ€" lated by the humus content that we can safely say it is one of the founâ€" dation stones of producing crops. For instance the water holding capacity of a muck soil is larger than in any other type of soil. Humus is, correctly speaking a close black rubbery subâ€" stance which is the result of the decomposition _ of vegetable and animal substances. Ever since plants grew upon this planet nature has been using what we in these modern times call a cover system. Crop residues and the dead remnants of one generation «of plants go down into the soil and are decomâ€" posed by bacterial and chemical action and changed ‘back into the elements and materials from which they were originally constructed.: These materâ€" ials are in turn used ‘by other plants and so in turn each fulfils its proper destiny. Many plants produce an imâ€" mense structure to ‘bear a few seeds, the production of which is that plants sole excuse in life and when these sseeds have ‘been properly. nourished and ~matured the rest of the plant structure falls down in ruin and decay and thereby furnishes a home for its progeny ‘better than it found it. This process ‘perpetuated through ages of time have produced the fertile plains and prairies of today. HUMUS CONTENT â€" OF COVER CROPS No ground should be left bare to go through the winter except of course the heavy sdils which are plowed last thing ‘before they freeze up. Corn, potato, cabbage ground ‘and any other ground from ‘which the crop has ‘been removed early enough to leave a month or more of growing weather should be seeded with some kind of crop. Where the crop is removed in midseason rape and buckwheat can be used where: it is desired to plow down in fall and sweet clover or rye and vetches where it is to ‘be left to the following spring. Rye is sown at the rate of from 6 to 8 pecks pariacre and vetches at the rate of 4 pecks per acres when sown alone.
