To Locate a Storm.

As soon as you see flash Of light
ming count the seconds before YOU
hear the thunder clap and iu this man
ner you can easily determine how far
away the storm is. Since light travels
10000 miles a second, we may for all
practical purposes regard ourselves as
seeing the lightning the instant it
flashes. But sound travels only 1887
feet a second. Multiply l.OS7 by the
number of seconds during the interval
between the flash and the thunder and
the result is the distance between you
and the storm. rs rule, from II to
~ miles is The greatest distance ti4un-

WESTERN CANADA
cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows a great in
crease in the butter production of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 50 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease In dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value of milk and
milk products was over $427 900. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, 444 lbs.
per h.; of creamery butter 5,S39,6
lbs. were produced which commanded
2Sc per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was T26,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value of these three products Is given
as $2,760.69S, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at 1925, $50
and the cream at S15S.S27, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per III. and Of sweet cream at 32c
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, 49,
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 193357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,S15 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
Is given as 631 ,005, which is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year. I
The fact that the Red Deer Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, it was
announced the factory had Just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 271Ac per
Id. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses of S5,5S4.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers SCI, III and manu-
featured 256000 lbs. butter and 1900
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is we'll indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here which In 1915 pro-
duced 2,525, 600 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found n market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-

NOTED FRENCH GENERAL DEAD.
Gallieni, "tfe Savior Of Paris" Died
at Versailles Saturday.

Paris, May 27.-IGen. Joseph S.
Gallieni, former minister Of war,
died at Versailles to-day. His death,
while not unexp ected, created a pro-
found impression, as he was idolized
by the French people, particularly
the poor. who regarded him as the
savior of Paris during the critical
days OF August, 1914. His funeral
will be the occasion of notable mil
itary and civil demonstration.
After the notable part taken by
Gen. Gallieni In the battle Of the
Marne, when he rushed $4,000 troops
Of the Paris garrison to the battle
line in taxicabs at the crisis Of the
struggle and thereby turned the tide
Of victory In favor of the French, he
was appointed minister Of war in
the reconstructed cabinet. AS war
minister Gen. Galleini devoted him
self with remarkable energy to the
elimination Of red tape in the admin
iStration of the army. BY revision
Of the exempt lists he added $4,000
men to the army.
In February of this year Gen. Gal
lieni took over the direction Of the
department of aviation, but shortly
afterwards he was taken i'll with kid
ney trouble and was compelled to re-
sign on March 6.
