Grit Is essential to the health of
fowls and TO economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed tor further digestion and Is
required for the proper preparation
of feed In the giZZard. When the feed
is not properly taken care of in this
organ. an undue strain Is thrown ON
the fowls system, often resulting in
disease and also allowing much Of the
nutriment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed. In
every pen or yard box of grit should
be kept. Recent investigators have
asserted that grit is "a part OF the
necessary feed of a flock, giving the
fowls strong bones and "a bright plum

HUNT RIVER OF GOLD
DID, Timers of Alaska and Yukon
Make Up Expedition.
AGED Trapper Dies on the Trail Carry
ing the Secret Of His Wealth
With Him.

Edmonton, Alta.-Search for lost
rivera river Of goodwill be under
taken this year by several prospectors,
including old-timers from the Yukon
and Alaska, who are now here OUTFIT
ting for the long journey into the
north country. This lost river bed,
where the Peace river once flowed, Is
somewhere In the big bend OF the
Peace, bisected by a line drawn from
Fort st. John to the mouth Of the
Battle river.
Some years ago an Indian brought
into Fort st. John fair-sized gold
nugget which, according to the tale
told by Old-timers Of the north, he dis
covered in q stream In the country to
the northeast of the post.
Soon after this an old trapper, a
white man, who made Fort st. John
his headquarters, came into the fort
with a quantity Of coarse gold which
he had washed from some stream In
a similar direction to that from which
the Indian hailed.
He never visited his trap lines after
this, living on the fat Of the land IN
carefree idleness at the post. He
often disappeared. whenever his sup
plies of necessaries ran low, and
would be away for few days, always
returning with fresh supply OF gold.
This aged trapper lived In this man
ner for q number Of years. He died,
as many trappers and north country
men have, on the trail. His body was
found frozen. With him went his Sc
cret, he never having told to anyone
the location of his find. The books OF
the Hudson's Bay company still con-
tain a large credit account in the name
Of the old trapper.
Mortimer, who tell the story Of the
mystic Ell Dorado north of the Peace
river, declare that the gold was only
available after a heavy fall Of snow,
with which the old fellow apparently
washed his mineral. From an analysis
Of the circumstances generally, 1t Is
thought that the place from which the
gold was taken was some old river bed
where the Peace river once flowed, but
whether the story is correct or not re-
mains to be proved.
Prospectors, however, are putting
up good money to test the truth OF
the theory that the precious metal
does exist Somewhere to the north of
Clear Hills in large quantities.

growth and the decay Of 1t large roots
it restores humus to the soil in large
quantities. If 1t is allowed to remain
and decay where 1t has grown, large
quantities of plant food are made
available. Moreover it is a legume
and can, therefore, take its nitrogen
from the air, thus adding an element
to the soil that is very beneficial. Its
long fleshy roots penetrate the sub
soil and bring food to the surface for
other plants to use, and, at the same
time. improve the soil texture.
