Northern Bread Line.

Nobody yet knows just how far
north wheat can be successfully
raised in Canada. In small patches
it has been raised as far north as
Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie
River, in latitude sixty degrees and
forty minutes. Wheat weighing six
ty-two and a half pounds to the BUSH
ell has been grown at this place.
At Fort Chipewyan, which is at
the mouth of the Athabaska River,
on Lake Athabaska, in tifty-eisht de-
grees and forty-two minutes north,
wheat is grown regularly, and a sam

tennial ex,. ibition at Philadelphia in
1876.
AT Fort Vermillion, in latitude
fifty-eight degrees and twenty-tour
minutes north, or about $50 miles
north of the United States boundary
line, there are three small -four mills,
which draw their entire wheat sup
ply from the surrounding country.
One of these mills is owned by the
Hudson Bay Company, and it has
capacity of thirty-five barrels day.
It's -four product is chiefly used for
the supply of the companys trading
posts in the far north. This mill has
been running regularly ever since
1902. At Peace River Landing,
which is a little farther south than
Fort Vermiliou, there arc two small

In the Grain,

The grain of wheat, as now known,
is, properly speaking, a package filled
with -four cells, each one~ of which
contains all of the elements of the
flour out of which the housewife
makes her bread. In each grain there
are several hundreds, and often far
more, of these flour cells, and each
of these cells, complete in itself, has
quite an elaborate structure of it's
own. 1t has a skeleton in which the
nucleus representing the vital princi-
ple) is suspended and in the net
work of this skeleton are also held
a multitude of starch granules.
Thus each wheat grain contains
vast total number Of starch granules
from ten to twenty millions of them
which are provided by Nature to
serve as readily-digestible provender
Ca sort of breakfast food') for the
baby plant in the earliest beginning
of its being. Later the skeletons OF
the cells, in which the starchy part,
cles are suspended, afford additional
nourishment--just as the white of
an egg nourishes the unmatched chick
after the yOlk has been absorbed. For
it appears that the skeletons, so to
call them, are composed of the sub.
stance known to us as gluten. -

dam will consist of three massive
concrete parallel walls, the spaces
filled with stones and the whole
width of the dam on top 244 feet.
This great barrier will weigh 600, 900
tons, and although it will not rest
upon rock, it's weight will be such
that not even the Colorado will be
able to dislodge it, In To- water
the dam will back the river up and

of rich bottom land, and in flood time
