 The l)()j;s in the IVovince of Ontario are mo^tly intermixed with Carex. 
 Hypnum, Kriophorum, and other a(iuaiie plants; i>ut there are some 
 fairly clean S])hanninii hoKs. 
 
 The hogs in the Provinre of Manitoba consist principally of Carex 
 grass peat, intermixed to a certain extent with Hypnum, and Sphagnum; 
 occasionally a Sphagninu hog is found. 
 
 The hogs in other provinces have not, as yet, been investigated.

 of tlu' !)()(> situali-(l iniiiudiatily west of tlu' above imntioiud road has a 
 fairly himkI deptli. and is also suitabk' for ihi- nianiifactiiri' of niaihinf prai; 
 liiit till- urialir part of this area is roini)arativily shallow. Moroovir, tlu 
 siirfaii- has hiin sivoral tinu's burnt o\cr, and in sonu- places is thickly 
 covered l)y ashes, which makes the percentage of ash in the peal hinlr. 
 and, due to the fact thai the larger part of this portion of the bo^ has lieni [ 
 under cultivation, the cohesixe i)r(iperties of the i)eat has been alTected, and | 
 reiide s it inferior to the eastern part, which is practically untouched. 
 
 The eastern portion of the boj; consists mainly of Siihagnum. Tlu- 
 bottom layer of the bon about 2 feet in thickness, seems to be intermixed 
 with a lar^e (|uaiility of a(|uatic plants, together with a certain amount nl 
 Carex. ( K-casionally. Kriophorum can be seen ^row in^ in ^roup^. indicalinn | 
 the present and previous formation of the peat. 
 
 Through the northern i)art of the <'astern p(,rtion of the bog runs a I 
 wide and well dug drain, which has drained, considerably, that section nf 
 the lioj;. This drain would be very suitable as a main <litch. and if tistd 
 .IS a working line, would save considerable expense in the drainage of the 
 bog, in the event of the installation of an air-dried peal 'w\ manufacturiiii; | 
 plant. 
 
 The major portion of the western section of the bog is comparatixciy 
 shallow, and less decomposed. Il consists mainly of Sphagnum; but 
 towards the margin it is intermixed with Carex and a<iuatic plants, ami] 
 occasionalK Hypiuim is found. .\ considerable area of the shallow pari is 
 usi-d for agricultural purposes; and if the peat was cut by hand, the re- 
 mainder could be used for domestic purposes. 
 
 The bottom of the bog is formed of grey clay; but occasionally, rock^ I 
 occur. At the northern margin of the bog the clay banks rise considerably, | 
 
 The margin of the bog is |)artly drained by the surrounding farnur- 
 This enables them to use the shallow parts of the bog for agricultural | 
 purposes. Certain parts of the surface of the bog is wiKxled with sprim. 
 young iioplar, dwarf birch, cedar, and tamarac. When drilling, rooi- 
 and stumps have been found. 
 
 The bog is very well situated both as regards shipping facilities and 
 market, being only about 2 miles from Huntingdon which has a populatinii | 
 of over 12(H). Huntingdon develops its own power from a small waterf.i 
 in theChateauguay river, which runs through the middle of the town. Tliisl 
 ])ower is used mainly by the saw mill, and the condensed milk factory. 
 
 In l'>12 thi' prices of hard coal varied from S7.1.> to SS..^() ix-r ten; 
 soft coal being S() per ton; soft wockI S4 to S4..S() a cord, and hard w<h«1 
 from S.S to S.S..^() a cord. 
 
 Huntingdon is situated about 12 miles from X'alley held. 17 milesfn n: 
 Dundee, and about 4X miles from Montreal. It is on the lines of the (iraml 
 Trunk and New York Central railways.

 The hog is not sutiticiently humified to I)e utilized for fuel purposes. 
 The upper layers from .? to 4 feet deep are comparati\ely free from humus, 
 but below that depth it is fairly well humified. (Jn the average, there- 
 fore, it would produce a fairly g<KKl litter. 
 
 The surface of the bog is practically free from trees, while the bottom 
 consists of a compact blue clay.

 .At the rear of the abovo nicniioiu'd platform a irani' is pivoteil so as lo swinjj alxiiil 
 jri .1 vrrtiral axis The craiu' is pro\i<U'<l with ^iiital>U^ oulrint;i'rs, to ilic I'xlR-mitio of

 Ik- platform. .\ imiwit shaft is ronnoclod by clutrlics toi'itluT of the drums. The 
 ns'nt lK?ing such that, wlu-n the shaft is clutched lo one of the ilrum-;, the other , .,,.. 
 ell tree. By tins,' means the crane may !>.• sv.iinn in either direction, at will. I poll ihe 
 r.me is inounled a Ixmmii adapted to swinv; aliout a horizonlal axis. This boom is intended 
 o carry the excavalinj! buckets and it may be raised or lowered according lo the depth 
 il the excavation. iS'e I'imire .V) Near the outer end of the liooiii is seciire<l .i c.dile, 
 Kissinn through two pulleys. This arrangenienl serves to raist' and lower the boom. 
 
 The cable may be a<lualed in any suitable way. as for example, by means of a drum to 
 uliich its minor end is connected. 
 
 The pivote<l support for the boom on the crane is used in llie form of a sli.ifl. passing 
 liroiigh the inner end of the boom, and revolves on ihe crane supported in bearings. IJy 
 illowinj! the shaft to run freely in the boom it is alsf> maile lo serve as the driving menilKT 
 or il. -liain of buckets and the automatic de.iver. which will be described below. 
 
 lo this end, ihe shaft is provided with two sprocUei wheels spaied apart somewhat 
 es^ than the width of the boom. .At the free end of the boom are similar and • ' ' 
 -p.iied spriK-kel wheels, thus making provision for driving two endless sprock 
 •11 which the buckets are hung and which extend longiiudinalK iboui the boom. 
 
 .Mong the upper side of the boom are twii parallel tr.icks, conveniently made „., 
 
 lron>, each of which has one flange extending horizontally and ihe other liange extending 
 iciiically. On the underside of the boom ,ire two double tracks, these being made of chaii- 
 The endless chain of buckets is nipported on the tr.icks In means ' '■

 II I irons. I ne endless chain ol huckeis is nipported on the tr.icks In means ol shoes 
 *liirli project l.iter;'.!!y f'-oni the sides of the buckets, at ihe top thereof. iS'e Fig. .No. 4.) 
 1 luse shoes nia\ conveniently consist of blinks of woihI shaped to fit into the channel- 
 run ir.icks on the underside of the boom, the shoes being on the portion of the chain which 
 il- ,ibove the b(«)m simply resting upon the tracks. It will thus be seen that the buckets 
 iri lirmly supported while they remain on the underside of the boom, and must follow 
 1 K'ven path when the driving power is applied.

 The apparatus is moved to thf startinn point: the b n is swunj; laterally lo oiie 
 
 boundary of the ditch to be excavated; the chain of buckets is set in oiKTation and th. 
 boom is l,)Wfrfd until the buckets cut to a depth of about a loot . 1 he crane is then set in 
 moti<m, slowlv sweeping the boom across the p.ilh to be cut umil the opposite side is reached 
 When an initial cm has been completed, the boon is anaiii lowere. and is started back 
 toward the opposite sidf. In this way thf boom is swuiij; back and forth, bcinn lowfred

 One side of the carriage is provided with a platform fi:r rweiving the iK'at which is 
 to be spread. The ap|Mr.itii» is divided into two \t.'.fn, the front hall U'ing for the purpose 
 (it spreading and the tear h.ilf for the purjuise ci prinlucing cross-cuts over a strip equal 
 in width to the new strip which is In'ing spiead at the front. The op«'n frame is divideil by a 
 cioss ineiiibcr, which extends through the nii(,dle and the platform runs from the front 
 end o,' the nuichine lo this cross memtior, along one side of the machine. The [X'at is 
 re ived from the platform and spread in a layer In'tween the tracks by a spieading lioiird 
 which is as long as the platform .ind is adapted to Ih- moved transveisely to the carriage'. 
 The s(ireading IxKird is pi, iced in ixisition against the side of the frame above the plalforni 
 VI that the hmd when deiMjsited lies inside of the spreading board, and is easily sciiiiwd 
 Iriiiii ihe |)l.ilfcrm when the iKiard is moved toward the op|K)site side of the carriage. This 
 s|)riMding boird is moved back and forth across the carriage and is controlled in such a 
 in.iiiner that its lower edge moves in a hnrizontal plane, lying alxtve the surface of the 
 ground a distance equal to the depth of the layer desired. The mass of peal flows Ix-forc 
 the board and is spread in a uniform layer. 
 
 The cariiagc is made of two .similar frames arranged one above the other and the 
 crijss memlier also comprises two sejxirated parallel pieces, (onsequenll) the front 
 incinlier of the carriage and the cross memlK'r forms tracks ada|>ted to luceive shoes con- 
 lU'Ctcd to the ends of the spreading ooard and extended at tight .inglos thereto. Ashaft is 
 extended longitudinally from the carriage above the platform, this shaft iK'ing suitably 
 licared to the engine by niean.s of driving mechanism which includes a clulcii and .i reversing 
 device, so that the shaft may either Ik- allowed to remain stationary or be driven in either 
 ilircciion. On the frop' end of the shaft is a drum and a similar drum is sciured to the 
 sli ift just back of the cross memlier. 
 
 .\t each side of the front end of the machine is a pulley and siniil.ir pulleys are IcK-ateil 
 jii^i bark of the cross member adjacent to the sides of the carriage. A cable is wound one 
 (M more times about the drum, its ends extending from the drum in op|)osite ilirections 
 .uross the pulleys, one end of the cable being then connected to one emi of the shoe at the 
 IHPI11 end ot the spreading boiird and the other end ot the cable being connected to the 
 ij|>|i(isiie end of this sh<x". A similar cable surrounds the drum, pisses over the pulleys 
 .U'll is connected to the ends of the shix' at the opposite end of the spreading board.
