Life Habits of Carp ; ina very interesting book--*Bass, Pike, Perch, and other Game Fishes and pdt. 5 mascerates the residue by means of the tongue and cushiony lining of the buccal cavity before swal- lowing it. When once hooked, the fish is not to be lightly esteemed. - The angler "of America" James A. Henshall gives .an account of the life history of carp. "He says that carp was described by £ Linnaeus in 1758. Its original home 4 was in China, and from thehce it was + introduced to Europe, and then (about thirty years ago) to the United States This fish has spread rapidly. will lave all hie can attend to With & light rod in a weedy pool.

It also devours the spawn of other fishes. In spite of contradiction, Mr. : Henshall claims that by personal ob- ,&. servation he has proved to his own patisfaction that carp do eat the spawn of other fish. ,The food value of carp is-low, but it is eaten by Negroes, Chinese, and Polish Jews in the cities. As a game fish, it is shy, and un- y certain to catch. The best success is i met with in. small, stagnant' ponds.

No. Change i in the Sunday Laws. at Present (Oshawa Daily Times) Toronto, March Srd--Sunday obser- vance laws will not be altered by the Ontario Legislature during the coming session, the Hepburn Government de- cided yesterday.

"HOW MANY TREES TO ORDER --t--In forest planting in "Ontario -it is customary to plant conifers six feet apart cach way. At this spacing dt requires 1210 treessto an acre. For windbreaks the trees are spaced three to five feet apart with cedar, fiye to eight feet apart with spruce. < Do not ask for more trees than you can use on your own property in any one year. It is contrary to regula. tiong-to_ order trees for yo "friends ind ndghbours. SPECIES AVAILABLE 10.

How- ever, planting sites may be grouped into three broad classes: first, open sandy grassland, where a plow can be used. Costs for planting such an area would run from three and a half to five dollars an acre depending on the wages prevalent in the community and thé experience of the men. Second, sandy or loamy soil, with many ob- structions, such as stumps, groups of trees, -or large boulders," where it would be impossible to use a plow, the cost here would be from four to eight dollars an acre. Third, on rough and rocky land, or on thin soil where the digging would be difficult, and the.cost would be seven to fifteen dollars per acre.

The Ontario Government main- tains nurseries for growing trees in Norfolk County, at St. Williams, on the C.N.R., approximately 15 miles south of the.town of Simcoe; Durham County, at Orono, one half miles\from the village, express shipments being made from ~ Newcastle, C.N.R.; in Simcoe County, at Midhurst,.on the C.P.R.; or Minesing, on-the C.N.R., five miles from Barrie. For persons living in the 'extreme eastern pdrt of fhe province arrangements have been made to distribute trees from Kempt- ville. . Insofar as the supply of species will permit, shipments will be made from the nursery situated nearest by rail, to the express office of the applicant. Persons, who live within reasonable distance of one of the nurseries, and are encouraged to do so, This fact should be stated clearly on the ap- lication form. who can fetch the trees themselves,; mals have become entangled.

Agricultural Societies Meet i in' Convention. Many MIE suggestions were made al the Agricultural Societies Convention, A number of these sug- geations are briefly gievn here from notes taken by Mr. Woon, who was one of the delegates. R. G. McCormick, of Brantford, dis-| cussed the re-arrangement of Fair Grounds. He stressed the necessity of having the grounds clean and-at- tractive, They should either be pas- tured until two weeks before the Fair or mowed to get rid-of the surplns growth. Plant plenty "of trees, If necessary have a small nursery - of trees in some protected place. Do not have too much grounds, but earefuly plan their layout. » \ J feed and hogs are scarce. The result is that there are too many- over-fin- ished hogs--not good bacon for British markets. - Mr. R. M. Hpltby provoked a great deal of interest and enthusiasm by his explanition of the Black and White Shows put.oi last year at Port Perry and Roseneath. -The idea of even prize money gave everyone a chance to pay expenses.
