anything resembling machinery for the oil

would assemble about the freight depot TO
watch two negroes unload some pipe,

by faithful and determined men. without

OF cold storage. But astute market
gardeners here have discovered that In
an ordinary summer the heads will de-

will fully rival those grown in the
dominion or the United States. Whole
fields are now devoted in Essex to
growing maize to be cut early and at
the large hotels Of the West End es-

The corn itself, with its tall stem, long,

often grown in country gardens for its
decorative beauty, though the cobs
have been neglected In their edible or
