Duncan HARDWARE - FLESHERTON Dipping Sheep For Parasite Control Sheep breeders will find dipping at this time of the year a profitable investment. Sheep and lambs will not thrive if they are forced to act as a host for ticks and o'her vermin. Sheep going into winter quarters will also be greatly benefited by being dipped in the early fall. The expense involved in dipping sheep is very slight oompared with the in- creased gains that will be made by the lambs and the greater assurance of having 'he ewes in good breeding condition in the fall and at lambing time in the spring. The yield and quality of wool wi.l also be greatly increased. The Fredericton Experi- mental Station has made a practice of dipping sheep each year (fall and spring), and as a result ticks have been practically eliminated from the flock. There are a number of reliable sheep dips on the market. Cooper's dip is the most commonly used and experiments conducted at this Station proved to be quite efficient, although tests made some years ago RATIO OF ACCIDENTS TO TRAFFIC DECREASING Widespread interest in the work of the Highway Safety Committee is evident throughout the province. The Committee is truly represent- ative of every section. In every community one or more men in pub- lic or semi-public positions have ac- cepted invitations t-o join the Honor- ary Advisory Committee, and many have submit 'ed to the Executive excel|ent suggestions and ideas which are being incorporated in the programme. The watchword of the Highway Safety Committee is Care, Courtesy and common Sense in driving. Its good work in past years is indicated by the fact that 'he ratio of acci- dents to traffic is actually decreas- ing in Ontario in spite of the fac: that the highways are becoming more crowded every year.

Superior, a distance of 2,339 miles. In considering the historic and ro- mantic background of this vital ar- tery of Canada's 'rade for the past hundred years the story of the Well- and canal may be said to recapitu- late the important event in the Do- minion's advance among the nations of 'he world.. From time to time, to cope with the country's ever-increas- ing volume of trade, no fewer than three canals had been constructed across lake Erie to lake Ontario, previous to the present undertaking. The firs'; of these was opened for traffic in 1829. th second in 1845, and the third in 1870. Improvements to the 1870 canal bringing its depth to 14 feet and 1 other measures were effective untK 1913 when it was seen that a n-v. and much larger canal was an ab- solute nft'esa**y. Construction was delayed by the Great War but such progress has been made in the last few years that on Dominion Day, Canada wiH formally open one of the great canals of the world, and one distinguished by many unique features. The total length of the Ship Can- : ' Is 27.7 miles between the outer- most ends of approaches and those at Port Colborne in Lake Erie. For all practical purposes it is a straight line throughout, and the difference in level betwen Lake Ontario and Lake Erie <326Hfeet> is overcome by seven locks oi' 46 Ss feet lift each and a guard lock. The usual length of these locks is 820 feet, the us- ual width 80 feet, with 30 feet of water on the sills. The provisions of this latter denth over all r * "ann - structures will make it possible, lat- er, 'o increase the depth of the en- tire canal to 30 feet by excavation of the reaches, through which, for the present, a minimum navigable ^nth of 23 feet is teing provided. The canal reaches are 200 feet wide f the bot'.im and 310 feet wide at the waterline. Both Port Wt.ler and Port Colborne harbovri. which may bo affected by the action of waves, have been dredged to an average depth of 27*^ feet below standard low water level. The lift of theWclland Ship Can a! locks has no precede"' in actual construction for locks of their size 'Flight leeks Nos. 4. 5 and 6, down the ."ace of the escarnment. are twin 'ecks in one flight with a total ag- j cgrcgate lift of only 85 feet.

I The time taken to fill a lock is eight minuses, and it is estimated that a vessel can be passed through i a lock in about twenty minutes. The' estimated time required to pass a vessel through the entire canal is' eight hours, as against fifteen to eisjhtean hours on the present canal, j The canal w..i be electrically lighted! and operated by power generated; from the flow through canal opera- tion. Though every effort has been made to reduce such structures :o' the minimum no fewer than twenty-! >ne railway and highway bridges, have had to be provided over the canal. The opening of the new canal will allow the great steamers of -the up per lakes, many of them over 600 teet in tength, hitherto confined to the lakes above the canal, to carry j -heir cargoes to the lower end ofi Lake Ontario and, very shortly, toj Prercott, where adequate terminal facilities are being constructed. ThU; will materially reduce the canal-car- 1 ?o and rail haul between lake boati and ocean steamship. Natural Re- sources Canada. Surviving sons and daughters are: Messrs. A. S.

A Grey County truck driver wa* haled beiore Magistrate Falconer by Chief McNeil; a few days ago and fined $20 and costs for cruelty to animals. The cruelty took the form of overloading hogs in a truck. The offender, who was on has way to the Toronto market, had 25 large hogs packed away in a standard size truck. Orangeville Banner. In 1924 the ental Station undertook to test out the merits cf sodium floride and wet able sulphur as cheap substitutes for the commercial dips. A number of grade sheep that were infested with ticks, were purchased from nearby farmers for this experiment. Counts were made of the ticks found on each sheep and lamb before anu after dippintr. Podium flcride was used in varying streng hs from 1 * of an ornce to 1 1-4 oun.-e to a gallon of water. Cooper's dip was used ac- cording to dire :tions. One hundred per cent control was secured where sodium floride was used in the most concentrated form but there as ev- idence of slight burning. The weak- er strengths of 'his product failed to give satisfactory control oi 1 tick.'. Conseqvrtly sodium floride in sol- ution is not satisfactory as a sheep dip. Wetable sulphur was found to give 100 per cent control without any evidence of burning.

Its mate successfully mounted the fence and made its esape. Dr. A. Hughes, V. S., hurried to the scene and loaded the iniured anima] into the back ot his car and brought it to town. Ex- r.mination revealed no broken bones, but it apparently was injured inter- nelly and died late the same /'after- noon. Dr. Hughes communicated with the Dept. of Game and Fisher- ies in Toronto and was autl irized to dispose of 'he animal as he saw fit. Grand Vallev StaV.

For some months he has been in delicate health, and though his death was not altogether unexpected, his passing came as a shock *o his family and friends. He contracted pneumonia the Friday previous and on Sunday his demise occurred. M.-. Wallace was born near Toron- to 78 years ago. When three years of age, he came with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. James Wallace, pioneer settlers of the township, and settled on a varm rear Heathcote. Here he resided until 44 years ago, when he moved 'o the present farm near Kimberley. Deceased was a highly respected citizen, of a kindly disposition, pos- sessed sterling qualities, and was r. staunch member of the Methodist cl.urch for over 50 years. He was recording steward for a number 01" years, and his active church interest continued as long as health permit- ted. Mr. Wallace was well read and conversan' with the day's topics. For many years he acted as a trus- tee for Kimberley school, and also filled the position of County Con- stab!?. He was a good father and always concerned for the welfare o t his family. On Jan. 10. 1877. he was wedded to Sarah Ann Fawcett, the couple celebrating their Golden Wedding three years ago. To this nion were born five sons and five dargh'ers, the eldest son. James, dying 27 rears ago. Keep FIRE at Bay ir<//i GYPROC FIRE seldom visits houses having Gyproc Wallboard ceilings, partitions, walls and sheathing. On the contrary Gyproc has saved many homes. This pioneer Canadian fire-safe gypsum board has a new Ivory coloured finish this year that makes decora- tion unnecessary (when pan- elled). It is just the thing to use for making extra rooms in the cellar or attic. Qukkly erected, inex- pensive, structurally strong, Gyproc Wallboard gives per- manent fire protection.
