A very email quantity of seed is necessary, therefore there is no reason why it should not ba as perfect as possible. One ounce contains about 350,000 seeds, enough to plant 85 to 50 acres of tobacco if all plants grew vigorously and it were possible to use every plant. Under ordinary cultural conditions ati ounce of seed is sown or: about S00 square feet of hotbed space.

Many of these tlgl one of the essential ele->wth. lit is indispensable luction of the carbohy-is, therefore, especially to crops rich in these constituents, such as potatoes, mangels, sugar beets, corn, sunflowers, etc. A pamphlet on Potash in Agriculture, which may be obtained from the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture, at Ottawa, contains formation on its use on various soils and crops. Clay loams as a rule are well supplied with potasli and seldom respond profitably to an application of a cial potassic fertilizer. It is on sandy and gravelly loams, calcareous soils and soils rich in vegetable matter, such as mucks and peaty loams, that potash may b expetd to give a proflt-± , able return.

For most grain crops j an application of muriate of potash of 50 to 75 pounds per acre is generally sufficient, while the quantity may be doubld for alfalfa and clover. For potatoes, roots, corn and other leafy crops, 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre may be considered an ever-age dressing, but as much as 200 pounds may often be used profitably. As a rule it will be found more advantageous to use potash with forms of nitrogen and phosphoric acid than Sunflower Silage. There is little doubt, now, that sunflowers are a fairly satisfactory and acceptable silage crop for districts in hich seasonal conditions do not ieet the requirement for good results ith corn. In regions where the summer is cool the yield of corn is general iy low, and where late spring and ear-utumn frosts are frequent the crop ?rs considerable damage. In such icts sunflowers are generally a ndable crop. They also stand v a I drought better than do corn or other ome silage crop. During recent years the ima- acreage sown to .sunflowers as a sil-will age crop lias steadily increased, par- snugly into the mill so that there is no place in which weed seeds or grain may lodge. The mill should be easy to clean out when changing from one kind of grain to another. The ease and rapidity with which the amount of grain leaving the hopper can be controlled is important. It is also an advantage for the person turning the mill to be able to see the work the sieves are doing. Canadian Red Clover Seed Best. The superiority of Canadian grown red clover seed over imported seed has once more been strikingly demonstrated in experiments described in the latest annual report of the Dominion Agrostologist. Seeds from many sources were thoroughly tried out and in practically all cases where it has been possible to trace the origin of the seed to lots which had been grown in Canada at least nine or ten years, and thus completely acclimatized, the winter hardiness was conclusively superior to that of practically all imported seed. The desirability of always using Canadian-grown seed is therefore clear.

It seems fitting as we look back through the centuries of Christian history, that the first announcement of the Saviour's birth should have been made to shepherds. David, his great ancestor, had been a shepherd first and then a king. The shepherd was more truly representative of the people than the prince or the priest or the scholar. His lonely life m the open country disposed him to dreams and visions.
