that his stand Of corn is always good

People who live in rented houses and

Many families. largely as a result of
habit, confine themselves to one or two
varieties of vegetables for their win
ter use instead Of having less Of each
and more kinds. Lots of people never
give themselves a chance to get ac-

which nature offers them. Especially
is this true in cities and towns where
people have no gardens and have to
depend upon the market solely for
their supply, buying as necessity de-
mands and therefore paying a higher
price.

Geologic experts hitherto have not made it their
special business to discover and point out available
deposits of sharp sand, gravel, what not, and
those already known, located more or less by acci-
dent, are constantly being exhausted
For building cities immense quantities of certain
structural materials, such for example as lime,
sand, and clay, are necessarily required. As the
old deposits are used up, rendered unavailable
by the extension of inhabited areas, fresh sources of
supply must be found. Thus contractors are
obliged to extend their search farther and farther
afeld, often, indeed, to great distances. If they
had access to scientific maps, showing them
actly where TO look for the stuff they wanted much
expense as we'll as trouble would be saved.
Now II Is the intention of the Government to
provide such maps, which will be prepared under
the direction Of Geoogist \. II. Darton. Further
more incidentally making the requisite
veys, the various structural materials considered
will be carefully tested Samples will be subjected
not only to examination, but to trials which Will de
