GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload OF grain in straw, grasses
and other OF the products OF Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now Installed In the
Coliseum, where the United states
land and irrigation exposition Is under
way. Those who are interested In
the Back to the land movement Will
find in the Canadian exhibit one OF
the best displays Of tho agricultural
product OF Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-

pleased 10 give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands OF that
country and most of the grain was
produced on the farms Of former resi-
dents Of the United States who have
taken advantage Of the homestead
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.

The kind of trees most desirable
should be known to the buyer when
he is ordering and selecting his trees
this winter. There is difference of
opinion as to which is the best size
Of tree to plant.
In the writer's experience, large

small trees have given, on an average,
poor growth. While some OF the
small ones would do as we'll as those
larger, good percentage of them
made poor growth, with most OF the
twigs coming out on one side only.
This observation was still further
proved by experiments conducted at
the station in 1909, when II was found
by actual measurement that the small
trees made a weaker growth.
A strong stock tree will generally
make a better shaped head and a

in geography before coming to this
country hold opinions in regard to tho
political divisions of the earth which

teachers thereof combined cannot up.
root. A New York teacher found that
out when she tried to impress upon n
young Austrian miss that Columbus is
the capital of Ohio.
"It is Cincinnati, on the Ohio" re-
torted the Austrian maiden politely,
but firmly.
Maps and printed text were produced
to prove her error. The pupil was in
nowise convinced.
1T wasn't that way in our geogra-
ply at home" said she. And the next
day, to uphold her contention. she
brought the geography on which she
based her assertion. That book was
not perfect product of the geography
makers art. for 1t certainly did state
that Cincinnati, ON the Ohio river, was
the capital of Ohio.
But that is mistake" said the
teacher. Then day after day, when
the girl was called upon to recite, the
teacher put the question of discord.
"What is the capital Of Ohio?" and day
after day, Mt the risk of bad marks.
came the positive reply, cincinnati.

firm of lawyers and worked very hard,
1t was no uncommon thing to find him
reading law at In the morning, and
this often after he had been working
late on the previous night. AS mat
ter of fact. he made it an inhexible
rule never to be in bed of morning
after 5. To enforce this rule he in
vented an ingenious device. This con-
sisted of long glass tube filled with
water nicely balanced over his head
and attached by string to an alarm.
At the desired hour the bell rang and
awakened the sleeper If within few
seconds he did not leap from his bed
and avert the calamity the descending
weight of the clock destroyed the bal
ance of the tube, and down poured the
water on his guilty head!-From "The
