BLAST-FURNACE STAG TESTS
Use Of Material for Road construc-
ton to Be Given Test by
Bureau of Roads.

Blast-furnace Stag as n material for
concrete road construction is to be
thoroughly studied by the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. With the enor-
nous demand for rOad-building mate
rial, officials say, economy demands the
use of material close at hand wherever
possible, and the bureau is now con-
Quoting Investigations of different ma.
terials with this in view
Great quantities Of Stag are to be
found at blast furnaces i'm various
parts Of the country. Samples from
81 plants have been collected and will
be made into concrete and tested for
resistance to wear, strength, water
absorption and general utility. These
results will be compared with similar
tests made on other materials.
In addition to the laboratory tests 4.
is possible that the experiments will
be followed by an inspection of a
number OF concrete roads built with
Stag as the coarse material. These
roads will be selected in various parts
of the country and the reports. to-
gether with the laboratory tests, will
furnish information which can be
fully relied upon.

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers of Western Canada Re.
loice at Harvest.
Largest Crop in the History Of the
Fertile Provinces May Be Con-
sidered Assured.

Reports Of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate, as they are made at the
end of the season, when the crop is
fully harvested, would indicate q
yield of between 35O,OOO,OOO and 37O,-
100000 bushels from a total acreage
of 21,471,O00. This is the greatest
yield in the history of the provinces
OF Manitoba, Saskatchewan and AL
berta. This immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies of all public bodies-rail-
ways and governments. 1t required
the assistance, outside of that locally
employed, of upward OF 10000 men.
These were brought into the country
from the East, the West and the
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts, under the direc-
ton of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, of the needs
AS a result of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
Of the West was successfully harvest
ed. The threshing reports show that
almost universally, in every section
of the country, the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking. The province of Mani
toba was the first to complete thresh-
ing, very few fields being left at the
time OF writing
Portions of Saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped a crop that
largely made up for past disappOint-
ments.
In Alberta there was a strange con-
dition. In the central district, always
noted for its heavy yields. there was
considerable of a falling off. Instead
of the 30 and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to -, while in
southern portions, where drought had
affected the country for some time
past. there were exceptionally high
yields
Reports of individual yields in diff
ferent portions of the three provinces
lead to the impression that when
threshing returns are in there will be
found TO have been a much better crop
than at present seems possible. Some
of these returns give individual farm
ers as getting as high as 40 bushels
others 80, and so on, while in some
districts, where in early August not
more than s or 10 bushels might be
looked for, 10 and Is bushels are re-
corded, the Improvement having been
brought about by rains that worked
marvels in the appearance of the crop.
And then, too, instead of the head
carrying four rows. most of them car
ried six rows, and filed to the top.
which, to those who know, means at
least fifty per cent more.
The rye crop of all Western Can.
ada is exceptionally good; the oats
generally good and barley fair
The weather at the time of writing
is threatening for a rainy spell, which
may interfere with threshing, and pro
long it somewhat

States have excellent crops Pairing

Fairy Tale
MOUNTAIN SHADOWS
HN1ARY GRAHAM BONNER

Along a line OF mountains" said
Daddy, the Shadows were having a
party.
''This line of mountains was along
a beautiful river and the mountains
stood very straight and tall and close
together 10 show how proud they were
that they should be mountains by such
a splendid river.
Now, down over the river and
mountains, Mr.. Sun was shining.
1t was one of his brightest DAYS.
He felt so well. 1t seemed as though
all his thoughts were so clear and so
pleasant and so bright.
He was smiling down at the river.
He was smiling at the mountains, too.
1T was when the Shadows first saw
how bright and happy and gay he was
that they suggested their party.
Mr.. Sun had been delighted TO do
what he could to help them
$50 they played.
They moved from one place to an
other. Sometimes they would have
their games along one part and then
another, and as they moved. Mr.. Sun
moved too.
"Or perhaps it was Mr.. Sun that
moved too, and the Shadows moved so
as to have Mr.. Sun help them in their
games.
II think it was that wayl But the
Shadows thought Mr.. Sun was follow
ing them, so I'm telling about their
party In their way
"The Blue Mountain Fairies came
too
You know they are very fond of the
top places in the mountains where they
make their homes, and often they can
be seen playing at the tops of noun
tains. Perhaps you cannot see each
fairy distinctly, but you can see the
great numbers OF them by their blue
frocks
'Yes, they came to the Shadows
party and the Green Fairies came,
dressed in their lovely frOcks of pale
green leaves.
THE Gnomes and the Elves came.
The Elves brought their special bird,
Fly-High, with them.
And old Mr.. Giant and Witty Witch
came to the party, too and Mr.. Suns
