People committed to asylums from any part of the North Land have to be taken to Hailsybury between the time of their committal and the time when the required admission to the asylum is arranged. Usually this takes several days and sometimes it meanfis weeks of holding the insane person at. Haileybury. There is no padded cell at Haileybury and this means that there is certain danger in the holding of the insane person at the jail. At the recent session of the District Court at Haileybury the grand jury recomâ€" mended improvements to the Haileyâ€" bury jail for the protection of irrational patients. There were also some othar recommendaticns by the grand jury. 4 (=m IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED _ FOR THE HAILEYBURY JAIL Work. | . â€" m to Seed : Grai _ ~~ Cleaning up the "A ‘ake up your result ‘of experimental *proof: Thereâ€" fore. what ‘is going on at the Experiâ€" mental Farm in the broad sense is of interest: to all farmers and gardeners in the section served by that Farm.

C THREE POINTS FOR THOSE WHO WOULD ENJOY LIfFr _Cleaning up the Apiary Work Now that the bees have been packed away for the winter, not much is left ‘to be done in this department. Howâ€" ever, it is a good time to check up the equipment and make a list of what ‘material will be required next spring. The extractor, storage tanks and tools should be washed and kept in a dry place. It is also good time to scrap and clean the supers and sort out the combs ~ready for use next spring. The white combs should be kept for honey production, the darker ones for brood rearing and the old, broken and badly shaped ones should be melted. In small apiaries this may be done by putting the combs, etc. into a cheese cloth bag, placing it in a pail of water and heating slowly, poking the bag occasionally with a stick. When melted, the bag may be hung over the pail, and the wax squeezed out with two sticks hinged at one end. of charge .~« Seed Grain > â€" There will be again a good demand for seed grain in Northern Ontario next spring. ‘Those. who have well matured grain of named variet,/should have it cleaned as ‘soon. as~possible, get it 'graded and: tested for germination, as purchases are igenerally made fairly early in the winter.

KIRKLAND LAKE HAS DOG ; WITH TASTE FOR CYANIDE Believe it or not! The following is from last week‘s issue of The Northern News, â€"appearing in the "Roving Reporter‘s" column:â€" "This column is ‘"rainingâ€".cats and dogs" this week. At the Wrightâ€"Harâ€" greaves mine is a Boston bull which seems to thrive on cyanide. The fourâ€" footed creature happened to stroll into one of the mine buildings about three months agoâ€"where from, â€" nobody seems to knowâ€"but since that time it has become a general favourite with everybody except when it happens to get in the way of workers and that‘s plenty often. But the dog‘s liking for cyanide is said to be an actual fact. This is shown by the manner in which the canine can be found on occasions trying out its tongue on shovels that are used to shovel up the partly treatâ€" | ed ore overruns that come from the ball _ mill.

In addition to tree planting the men installed in the camps are building bush roads, trails and teleâ€" phone lines to facilitate communicaâ€" tion and transportation in the woods; they are thinning overâ€"dense growths of timber; clearing away deadâ€"falls and working generally along the most scienâ€" tific lines of timber conservation. The department feels that besides providing good number of unemployed with work, and besides promoting reforestâ€" ation and forest conservation, it is setâ€" ting a valuable example which may welll o2 e oo B L 2x in |Ont., and at Camp Borden; Ont. A new forestry experimental area is under development in Manitoba, and it is hoped that two others, one in British Columbia and one in New Brunswick will begin operations But the forestry scheme does not stop with reâ€" planting. Already a great deal of exâ€" ceedingly valuable work has been acâ€" complished in the wooded sections of existing experimental areas under the control of: the Dominion Government by building of bush roads, the construcâ€" tion of telephone lines and trails to facilitate rapid communication and transportation by rangers, by improving the maturer stands of timber, thinning overâ€"dense growth, clearing away deadâ€" falls and generally applying those reâ€" medial steps which scientific timber cultivation and‘ conservation demand. It should be understood, however. that ‘the underlying purpose of this work is merely. the demonstration of the reâ€" sults which can be secured by proper forest management to the end that the example may ultimately be followed by other large holders of forest lands to| the great and lasting benefit of the industry." ; This communication clearly sets forth the wide ramification of the Canadian forestry plan well under way in several of the provinces with full provincial | gramme. "I would point out that durâ€" ing the past Summer the men employed in camps, operated by Federal and asâ€" sisted by provincial governmental deâ€" partments, have planted: about two million trees in forestry experimental areas at Valcartier, P.Q., at Petawawa, sure of relief. The writer overlooked the fact that the Bennett administration long ago established such a scheme of relief; thatâ€"this scheme is comprehenâ€" sive and farâ€"reaching, and that it, inâ€" deed, operates on a far larger scale in proportion to population than that reâ€" cently adopted in the United States. As a matter of fact, it might easily be deduced that the Roosevelt administraâ€" tion copied its forestry programme from that instituted long ago under the ‘leadership of Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minister of Labour. In view of this <fact, the Minister lately addressed a corrective letter to Saturday Night which ‘has duly appeared in that pubâ€" lication. It reads:â€""I have read with great interest an article, ‘Set up Foresâ€" try Camps," which appéared in your issue of October 21. I fear, however, that the author in reaching his conâ€" clusions has neglected to. consider at least one factor which is fundamental to the problem.
