from Crop Experts.

Most Of the states Of the union felt
the unusually severe winter of 1867,
and the effects of the succeeding late
spring were everywhere apparent.
Corn was planted two and sometimes
three times, the winter wheat suffered
and generally there was nervous
feeling as the retarded growth was in
evidence. From the Dakotas to Texas
the feeling of dread existed, and the
fears were entertained that the crop of
corn, wheat, oats and barley would
be distinct failure. How far this was
the case is best left to those who
passed through the experience. Natur-
ally the same conditions were preva-
lent throughout the province of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, In
western Canada, and with from $780,
900 to 100000 farmers there from the
United States large degree Of inter-
est was manifest In almost every state

BIRDS TRAVEL ALONG ROUTES.
All Have Not Same Representations
Great Distance.

The routes by which birds pass to
and from one country to another in
spring and autumn are regularly fol-
lowed. One great thoroughfare, Of
course, is in the spring from south to
north, and conversely in the autumn
from north to south; another is south
east to northwest; a third southwest
to northeast, with the return into the
same starting points, says the Scot
man.
The great southern wintering region
is south of the north of Africa and
extends to far beyond the equator,
and from it, under the breeding in
stinct in spring, birds hurry away to
dispense themselves over the wide
spreading palaearctic or northern
lands, which extend as far, in the
case of some species, as long way
within the arctic circle. South of the
equator during the northern winter
the migrants fly toward the south pole
to breed. The seasonal range limit
of some of the northern breeding
birds is normous-several extending
from Patagonia to Greenland.
All migratory birds have not the
same range; some fly longer, some
shorter, distances. The best known
of all the birds of passage, the swal-
low has one of the longest ranges
from 1000 to 10000 miles. In this
extended range are also included such
birds as the gray plover, the knot, the
pectoral and curlew sandpipers and
the Asiatic golden plover.
The longer range-from 5000 to
1000 miles-includes such well-known
birds as the cuckoo, the corncrake,
the sedge warbler, the greenshank;
the moderate range-from 1900 to
5000 miles-embraces the turtle dove,
the crane, lapwng, mallard and jack
snipe; the third range-from 1000 to
1000 miles-such birds as the wood
chat shrike, the stone curlew, the
woodcock and black FERN and in what
is called the restricted area-with a
mileage of 1000 miles downward
there are the waxwings, several gulls
and the elder duck,

WoMEN's WORK AT MINES.
Very Few Work Underground-In At.
RIGA They Carry Heavy Loads.

Until recently women were employ
ed in England in connection with sur
face work in coal mining and brick
works. The women were found to
be very strong, but they were other
wise unsatisfactory and we're ulti-
mately dispensed with at the collier
les. The coal mines regulation act of
Great Britain prohibits women labor
being employed underground.
In German Southwest Africa an in
vestigator found many native women
at work about the mines. They were
useful in carrying in loads, especially
of firewood. The women labor was
cheap and as long as they were left
alone to take as much time as they
liked over the work and do it as they
wished they were all right.
His next experience was higher up
the coast, in West Africa. Labor was
short and they decided to try women
to carry stones. They carried the
first two loads and then they struck.
Those women quite altered the con-
ditions of carrying stones, They car
ried them for a certain distance, but
three or four relays had to be pro-
Yided After that they were tried at
carrying sand and things like that
They went on for a short while, but
did the work in fits and starts.
In another place, also on the west
coast, where women had been tried
against the black men, it was found
that for carrying In firewood they
were by far the best and cheapest.
There, of course, they were on piece
work, although their tickets were
marked Just the same as If they were
on day work.
Their task was to carry in a cord
of wood day, They used to start
about 4:30 a. m. and went on carry
ing until 7 and from 1880 till or 10.
Then If they wanted to get off early
the next day they used to carry an
other cord of wood in the afternoon
or part of it.
They were decided success, but
they were very particular in what
they called their circle. They did not
mind how close it was to the boilers,
but If it were little over their dis
lance they would go to the manager
and want an increase directly.
Some women used to carry about
100 pounds on their heads; on an av-
erage about So to IS pounds of wood.
Statistics published in the Mining
World from time to time show that
there are number of women en-
ployed in the coal mines of Belgium
and Germany, for instance, as pickers
and sorters. In Germany women re-
ceive q to rs cents per day.

Fort William delivery. The cost OF freight
and handling for wheat strikes an aver
age of lie per bushel for the whole west.
This means that the average price to the
farmer for contract wheat all over the
prairie country is exactly 81 per busnei.

when one considers the conditions under
which 1t was produced. Out OF 459 cars,
32S in two days contained wheat which
would answer for delivery on contracts.
In other words over 100000 bushels OF
wheat which would bring the farmers an
average Of about 81 per bushel, reached
Winnipeg In two days. The significance
OF 100000 worth Of wheat being passed

sight at time when returns from agri-
cultural activity in the west are being
anxiously awaited These figures do not
take account Of the lower grades, or
which there were 13l cars. More than one
third Of these contained milling wheat,
which would remunerate the farmer at
the rate Of 93c per bushel on the basis
Of to-day's closing figures. The balance
consisted of low grade stuff which would
vary greatly in quality and would show

"The approximate value of the two

be more than 100000 calculating the ca
pacity of a car at 900 bushels and elm
mating the cost of freight and handling.
AS many of the modern cars contain,
more than 1000 bushels and as the freight
rate to Fort William is less than 15c
per cwt on most of the wheat which is'

100000 is low. The circulation of $780,

continue for the whole year, of course,
