Now, smut is very prevalent in many oat and wheat fields, and the Joss to the province by this disease alone amounts every year to two or 3 million dollars. Smutty oats and wheat are caused by planting seed oats and wheat that spores attached to them. These spores are so small that it is impos- sible to see them on the seed with the naked eye. Perhaps the simplest and most effective method that has been de- vised for killing these spores is to sprinkle the seed grain with a dilute solution of formalin, made by pouring half a pint of for- malin into ten or twelve gallons of water, The formalin can be pro- cured at almost any drug store for 25 cents. The seed grain should be spread out on a clean dry floor . or wagon box, and the formalin so- S=Janios aprinkled over it by means of can, The seed should shoveled over and Pure Bred Oattle & 8| Pure Bred Cattie held at Port Perry |.

An Order-in-Council has been passed ratifying the transfer of the dams on the Trent Valley water- way from the Ontario to the Dom inion Government. This transfer includes all the bridges and dams on the northern waters to Balsam Lake, over the canal system, as well as those waters tributary to it, including those over the Scugog River and Lake. The change will be one which will be benefi- cial to the interests of the canal, since the saperintendent will now have direct control of all the dams, and will thus be in a position to regulate the flow of water, and ensure a greater uniformity and conservation ot energy, which was almost impossible under the dual controll which formerly prevailed. There are now three ministers holding portfolios in the Laurier "| Government with seats in the Senate. Reports credit the Transvaal last year with the gold output of £20, | 802,000, ot £4,000,000 more than the record previous to the outbreak of the war. Apparently Mr. Geo. D. Grant, M P., has been forgiven and taken back into the fold. He occupied a seat at the guests table at the Laurier banquet. It is announced that when the existing vacancies in the Senate are filled the Laurier Government will have a majority of twenty-three in the membership. Mr. Thomson, the French Min- ister of Marine, is seeking authority from Parliament to build three new battleships, like the recently launch- ed British Dreadnaught.
