PECULIAR LIVE STOCK FARM
Canadian Has Pleasant Possibilities il
His Proposed Raising of
Black Foxes.

Probably few, If any, men in this
province have started a black fox farm
at less cost than Robert Rowley, mn
prietor of the Laurentide preserves at
Lake Edward, says Quebec CORE
spondent of the Montreal Gazette.
While UP at Roberval Mr.. RowIey
heard that man there had four young
pups, part red and part black. It is
said that nobody wanted to buy the
animals, though the price was about
$40 or so head. Mr.. Rowley gave the
man his price. The next morning Mr..
Friedman, manager of the black fox
ranch of Lieutenant Governor Wood
of New Brunswick, who had been
securing the country for young stock
saw the foxes and Immediately went
into the hotel and in front of every
one present offered Mr., Rowley sew
eral thousand dollars, but was refused.
When the villagers realized the offer
some of them almost collapsed on the
spot and the place has been fox crazy
ever since.
Mr.. Rowley is also purchasing pure
black dog fox at a very small sum and
will cross it with the litter which he
got SO cheaply. He expects to have
litter of pure black foxes next
spring.

Very Warm.

A party of commercial travellers
were drawing the long-bow and spin
ming yarns of wonderful adventures
on sea and land. A silent listener
sat in the corner. Presently one Of
the company addressed him.
Have you travelled much, sir?"
"A little. I've been round the world

striking experiences. Perhaps you
would like to tell US one or two"

POINTS ON WRAPPING FRUIT
Hoped That Small independent Ship
pers, as Well as Large Associa-
lions, VIII See Benefits.

inv r.. M. WINSLOW, Victoria, b. CD
In the fruitpacking, grading ana
marketing there is continual progress.
Almost all No. British Columbia APP
pies are now wrapped. 1t is to be
hoped that small Independent shippers,
as well as large associations, will see
the advantage of this practice, so that
this season all our best fruit will go
to the markets wrapped in paper.
The advantages of wrapping are as
follows:
1. Wrapping gives more nnisneo
appearance to the package. 1t pre-
sumes high-grade article, SO finding
a reader sale and steady market and
q higher price.
2. Wrapping improves the keeping
quality, preventing disease spreading
from fruit to fruit.
8. The paper serves as cushion,
preventing bruising, and SO prolonging
the life and improving the appearance.
A. Wrapping makes an elastic but
firm pack, much less liable to shift,
and much quicker to put up.
S. 1t protects the fruit from changes
In temperature and absorbs surplus
moisture.
The cost of paper for wrapping is
almost saved by the weight of fruit
which the paper displaces. Expert.
enced packers do as quick or quicker
work wrapping than without 1t. There
is very little foundation for any obiec'
ton to wrapping, save that there is
quite knack in it, which some pack
ers seem unable to grasp.

FALL PLANTING is ADVISED
Tree Is Capable of Responding to Call
for Quick Establishment of New
Root System.
(Ry PROF.. wHITTEN. Mlssouri.l

(By PROF. WRITTEN. Missouri.)
1t seems to me that the tree Is cap
able of responding to the call for quick
establishment of new root system
when it is transplanted In the fall and
that the available plant food, which is
stored and carried over in stable con.
dition in the roots, is partly used in
the autumn to meet the demand for a
new root system or for the healing OF
wounds.
Observations made on spring trans.
planted trees showed that they do not
quickly begin to make new roots in
spring. They are out in full leaf and
apparently making good progress
above ground before any root growth
could be detected below ground. Ii
seemed as II the readily available
stored food In the trees was carried to
the growing points above ground and
utilized to make new growth there
more readily than 1t was carried to the
wounds of the roots, to make calluses
or 10 make new roots. Root growth
did not begin in spring transplanted
trees until the soil got quite warm
somewhat late in the season. In fact
root growth below ground did not be
gin to form abundantly until June
about two months after the trees had
been transplanted. Pairs Of trees
taken up each month during the sum
mer showed those transplanted in
autumn had much larger root growth
tnan those transplanted in spring
Trees transplanted during the fall Of
1909 made much better growth thar
did corresponding trees transplantet
during the spring of 1910.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, July 25.-
After many years of effort the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees
have organized the Traction Com
pany's lines in this city The new
organization starts off with mem
bership of 100, and prospects are
bright for the organization COM
prising every employe on the road.
The local labor paper, The Tribune
was primarily responsible for this
organization, in that it secured an
interview with the general manager
of the company during a recent
franchise campaign, In which that
official stated he had no objections
to the organization of the employees
or the lines. The indications point
to the permanencey of the new or
ganization, and all differences in
the future adjusted in an AMIGA

May Use Initiative.

Duluth, MIN, July 5.-Local
cigar dealers, cigarmakers, jobbers,
and manufacturers are much per-
turbed because the city commission
has passed an ordinance prohibiting
the conduct of cigar stands in sa-
looms outside the hours designated
by the law regulating liquor Ii
censes. 1t is claimed that this re-
striction will not compel stricter
enforcement of the liquor law, but
will give the Cigar Trust chance
to control the tobacco situation
completely. The proposition that
meets with the greatest favor is
initiation of an ordinance permit
ting cigar stores to be operated in
front of liquor selling places, with
the provisions that transparent par
titions be erected In order that an
unobstructed view into the bar
rooms can be had during the hours
they are required to be closed. If
the vote be favorable upon the reg
ulation of this character the pro-
hibitive ordinance of the commits
sion would be automatically re-
pealed.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 25.-The

refusal to enforce a Section l of

sessions. The employers are con
tending for flat rate of 80 cents

and assert that anything short of
that scale would deprive them of

natures mighty Forces That Wrecked
the Crust of the Earth.
How do you explain itY' inquired
one on meeting Sir John Murray, the
eminent English geoogist and presi
dent of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, referring to the Graud Canyon
of the Colorado. This was briefly the
answer, though not in his words:
"On either side of the wide plain ex-
tending from sixty to hundred miles
to the right and left of the canyon
evidences of severe volcanic action are
visible. In the center was a plateau,
but you now look down upon it as the
vast chasm of the canyon Thrice the
volcanic forces of nature, operating on
either side. violently and with tremen-
dous power, forced this plateau up
ward, and finally in one cyclopic, tre-
mendous upheaval the plateau parted,
and the Grand canyon, the wonder and
mystery of the world, was born.
Imagine loaf of dough rising ST.
lently under the continuous pressure
Of the yeast until finally the crust Is
broken and the loaf divided into two.
Then look at this broken crust of
mother earth. In the early days q
vast area embracing a great portion of
Sle interior of the American continent
was covered with water. 1t was a
great sea. All over the canyon fossil
oyster shells proved this contention.
The Grand canyon opened; the waters
of the inland sea rushed through in
tearing food and carved the fantastic
forms you now see"
The questioner further inquired of
Sir John, mo doubt this was all very
remote, in the early ages OF the
world?

Ball a Girls, Game.

OF all the games ball seems to be
peculiarly girls game throughout the
ages. The Roman girls used to strike
balls with the palm of the hand to
keep them bouncing or would fling
them against the wall to drive them
back on the return or would pass the
ball from hand to hand in the ring or
in a row. The ball of the olden times
was much like the one now in use. It
was soft or hard, as occasion demand
ed; it was plain with painted or en-
broidered cloth; it was hollow large
balloon or a small light sphere. The
German poets make frequent allusion
to ball as a girls game. 1t was de-
scribed as a first sport of summer
One writer observes, when I saw the
girls on the street playing ball then
came to our ears the song of BIRDS"
The game was a favorite one with
youths and maids. who would contend
for the ball, that the one who gained
1t might throw it to the one loved best.
