Although many points of New England
are feeling anxious in relation to the
danger of a shortage in the water supply,
Bellows Falls is in good condition. The
water in Minard's pond at the present
time shows over foot above the level
of the old dam, which is lust so much
more for the needed supply of the winter
than we have ever had before, even in
seasons of the most rain. During the
last week water in the Connecticut has
fallen to the extent that some of the
pulp mills are again idle, although the
water is kept about half way up on the
flash boards of the dam.

Aids the Farmers

AS showing still another service
which the Department of Agriculture
has rendered to the business interests
Of the country, we note in a recent bull
letin that, solely due to the introduce
ton Of better methods of collecting
turpentine, there has been an increase
of 40 per cent in the output, amount
ing to 100000, while the long leaf
pine forests of the Southern States,
from which the American supply of
turpentine is largely obtained, have
at the same time been saved from an
limitation. The cost to the department
Of the service rendered in this instance
was $4,000. This is one of many cases
which go to prove that Of all the
money that is being expended by the
federal government in any of its de-
partments there is none which is fetch
ing a larger return on the investment
than that disbursed by the Department
of Agriculture. For this reason pres
sure should be brought to bear on our
Congressman to make appropriations
for this branch Of the government
work as generous as possible.

FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST

The American Settler Is Welcomed
to Canada.
A number of the leading newspapers
on this side of the line have been no.
ticing the growth Of the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
ton to the fact that there seems to be
no abatement of the influx of settlers
to that great grain-growing country.
The Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were 4,174 homesteads entries
there in July OF this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest Is the statement
that of these Ala homesteaders, 1912
were from this side of the line. Little
is said about the 81 Canadians who re-
crossed the border to take up homes
In Canada West, of Of the S0S from
Great Britain, or Of the 1896 from
non-British countries. 1t appears that
the item in this July report that makes
Canada rejoice most is this of the 1912
American farmers who decided to try
their fortunes in Canada West.
1.-THE compliment is deserved. The
PIP were mostly from Dakota and
other farming States, and go into Can
ada fitted better than any other class
Of immigrants for developing the new
country. They take capital with them,
too, say Canadian papers proudly. In
every way they are welcome over
there"
AS the Express well says, the Amer
lean is welcomed to Canada, and the
reasons given are sufficient to invite
the welcome. The American farmer
knows thoroughly the farming condi-
tons that prevail in the Canadian prai-
RE provinces, and is aware of every
phase of agricultural development i'll
recent years. In practical knowledge
of what is wanted to get the largest
return for labor and investment he is
by long odds superior to any European
settler. He knows what is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do it, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer.
The agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose address appears else
where, says that the difference be-
tween the manners and customs of the
farmer from Dakota, Oregon or Min
nesota and the farmer from Manitoba,
Saskatchewan or Alberta is not nearly
so marked as that between the farmer
| of the Maritime provinces and the ON
tario tiller of the soil. Hence the well
come to the free homesteads of the
Canadian West (and there are hun
dreds of thousands of them lefty that
is extended to the settler from the
Western States.

Why Young Trees are Best.

These are the advantages Of plant
ing young trees: They can be train
ed to the desired form better than old
er trees. A two or three-year-o tree
is branched and has had it's head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearling tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry is usually unbranched.
Sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
full enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs, and it is difficult to correct
the form of the head after it has been
started There is an unmistakable
preference for lowheaded trees, due
chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency in spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage Of low-head-
ing is greater inconvenience in tillage.
This is much more than offset by the
advantages, in the Judgment Of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
in East has been reduced at least two
feet. The bearing Of this on the mat
ter Of yearling trees IS that the grow
er can head a yearling tree where he

WEISS BEER LITTLE DRUNK.
1t Has Joined Arrack, Canary Wine,
MalmSey, Sack and Small Beer

Weiss beer, once 4 popular drink in
New York, especially among the Plat
deutsch population. has almost entirely
disappeared. Here and there in Ger
man neighhorhood may be found n sa-
loon which keeps weiss beer on sale, but
those who call sor it are less numerous
each year.
Weiss beer is thin beer, produced by
rapid fermentation. Lager beer is pro-
duced by slow fermentation. Both are
favored with hops, but while the sac
charine properties of lager beer are de-
veloped through the process of manu-
facture, weiss beer is astringent and it
has long been a theory that it is non-in-
toXicating except when taken in very
large quantities.
Weiss beer has been known to have
SOLDERING effect. and for that reason has
been called Montag beer, or Monday
beer being a favorite beverage with
those Germans who devoted Sunday to
merrymaking. Among Americans weiss
beer, thin. bitter, acrid, pale, non stimu-
lating and watery, has had very little
popularity at any time. Unlike lager
beer, it never became naturalized in the
United States.-New York Sun.
