Most of the stock planted was from the provincial nursery at nurseries, or from those owned by local districts; but as these could not supply enough trees, some were bought from private growers. In ,1895 the province bodfeht an estate of 408 acres on which to grow nursery stock for thb highways. .. j,-.-; XXX i ; The highway fruit growing has been in operation about a hundred - years,- and some of the trees became too old to be profitable, therefore young ones were put in their places W during the last decade, a fact which.

Farm Transit for Leveling.

The illustration shows a ho'me made level that will answer the purpose for leveling the foundations for buildings, fixing the fall of drains or the slope or irrigated fields, etc. I have found that it works almost as and Farm. . ' - Have a tinner make a water tight tin tube BB about 4 feet long, and 2 Inches in diameter. Bore a hole through a wood block A. about 3 Inches tquare, having the hole the same else as _the tube so the pipe will fit tightly, i Pass thi pipe <■ through the hole in the block, then have an elbow soldered on each end, CC. Get two. glasses Incandescent

Fasten the device to a tripod by having a screw pass through the tripod into block of wood. Have a small hole in the underside of pipe B to which a cork is fitted as shown at E. .When desired to use the level to fill the tube with water until it rises 8 or 4 Inches in the glass bulbs, Always let the water out and dry tie top work is finished. When the bulbs both show the water, by sighting through the glass fiver the surface of the water, the man at the tripod can signal an assistant to raise or lower the target Jgft as is done in the case of surveyor's transit to establish a hort* sontal. Then by deducting the height the water level is above the ground from the height of- the target from the ground the difference in elevation of the two points is easily ascertained.

About Pariette’s Platform Wert.

Sixty per cent of bis engagements in Ohio last year were in towns where, he had spoken from twice to ten times. Forty per cent of all his bookings were returns. Yet each year his price has risen. The better he Is. known the more is his demand. Parlette has spoken to every kind of an audience, from the cultured club to £he grime-covered miners st the mouth of a shaft. Few men are so able to adapt themselves to every occasion. It Is because he makes every occasion great, brings to it a great message, and sugar-coats it with a never-failing flow of humor. From ocean to ocean, wherever a speaker is wanted he has appeared—on the great city courses, going back lime after time, on the Chautauqua before Y. M. C. A/s, clubs lodges schools, commencements, institutes, and all other places of entertainment and uplift. At the Presbyterian church, Monday, November 27th. Admission 35 cents.
