Last Friday, Mr. Sovey Latondc, a west end resident, dropped into the office of the local Registrar of bitths, deaths and matrtiages, to record the advent of a new baby boy, and inciâ€" dentally remarked that that was his 26th. _ After the Registrat revived sufficiently to $peak he learned that Lalonde had been married twice==the first wile h‘ln‘ a Beauchamp, and number two a Vasseur, + "~. ! l Canada is a wheat as well as a flour exporting country. The quality of. the wheat grown in the Canadian Northwest is such that the flour proâ€" duced from it may safely te said to be the best in the world. In proof of this statement we have only <to call attention to the fact that milâ€" lers of Ontario do not pretend to make the highest grade of flour out of wheat grown in the province with out mixing it with a certain proporâ€" tion of Northwest hard wheat. This same class of wheat is cagerly sought after by American miliets, and | alâ€" though it resembles‘ in quality _ the Dakota and Nebraska wheat, yet as a rule it is supcrior. It is very deâ€" sirable that all the wheat grown in Canada should be manufactured into floutjn this country. The benefit of ha\-ifi all of what is known as the offâ€"fall, _ comprising the branâ€" and ‘shnfls from the millions of bushels of wheat grown in the Dominion, | all manulactured _ here, is so apparent,‘ especially . to .stock â€" brecders and keepers of horses, that it is quite unâ€" necessary to â€" call ~attention to it. The immense waterpowers along. the north shore of Lake Supcrior,‘ . a number . of which are being utilized for milling . and other purposes at present, should not be allowed to run io waste, But nsed to convert â€" the: wheat: of the Northwest into flnur.f There may be one exception to this: idea which, however, is of little moâ€" ment. The fact that one of out largâ€" est milling concetns is establishing a mill in Great Britain is an evidence that it is not possible to meet every phase of the market there with home produced whcat and that in order to improve the grade of four required to compete in the market, Canadian wheat must be mixed with the home growit. It would only be a matter of a few days, however, when Canadian wheat begins to move before the few bushels requiring â€" to be mixed in Britain would tbe buried from sight. Ponstang Herald: A couple of weeks ago we complimented Alex. Beaudoin upon the safe attival of his fourth pairâ€"of twins, making the even dozen in his family of small childten. At that time we thought that this was The milling ot Canadian wheat in Britain _ should _not _be encouraged above the quantity required for mixâ€" ing with . the home wheat, neither should the great milling institutions of the United States be supplied with Canadian wheat, as they are being at present to a great extent. The Domtnion should encourage the érecâ€" tion of mmilling plants sufficient to handle_all. the wheatâ€"grown in ~this country, and thus give the farmers the advantage of the first chance to buy. the valuable byâ€"products of bran and shorts, as well as giving employâ€" ment to skhilled mechanics and many other > work men.
