In 1903 a large nursery plot in the experimental grounds at the Ontario Agricultural College, containing 10,000 seeds planted by hand at equal distances apart, produced several plants of re- markable vigor. One of these selected plants was the parent of the O.A.C. No. 73. The success of the 0.A.C. No. 73 has been measured side by side with that of the Banner, which, previous to the general distribution of the 0.A.C. No. 72, was the most popular oat grown in Ontario. Yield and Quality Compared. For sixteen years in succession the O.A.C. No, 72 and the Banner varieties of oats, bqve been Aucladed in the experiments at' the College, and the following table gives the average resiits in maturity, in per- centage of hull and in yield of both straw and grain per acre: O.AC. No, 72 of hull.. 85 per acre 2.2 a1 . 83.33 73.88 In these experiments the O. A. OQ. No. 72 in comparison with the Ban- ner has a thinner hull in each of fourteen and a greater yield per acre in each of twelve out of aixteen years. Each variety required on an average one hundred and ten days to mature. Remarkable Growth in Popularity, In 1911 the 0.A.C. No. 73 variety of oats was distributed throughout Ontario ip connection with co-opera- tive experiments which were being carried out through the medium of the Experimental Union. Without & single exception this new variety of oat has given a higher average yield per acre than any other variety used In co-operative tests conducted by farmers in each of the past eleven years. The O.A.C. No..72 soon made a record for itself, and was increased rapidly from the pound lots used in the tests conducted on the individual farms, In the last sevell years, of the 990 first prises which were awarded to fields of standing oats In connection with the Field Crop Com- petitions throughout Ontario, the 0.4.C. No. 73 received 621, the Ban- ner 330, and all other varieties com- bined 249, A Consistent Prise Winner.

The econstrue- tion of these toys--for they are really more toys than models--used to be one of the favorite diversions of the sailorman, writes C. Fox-Smith, in a London paper. I say 'used to be," for with the windjammer and the windjammer seaman such occupations are dying out, and in consequence the bottled ship is alréady beginning to acquire a certain value as a cGFiosity which paturally it did not "posses when nearly every sallor made one or two friends or sweethearts or in the hope of selling them for a "bob" or two in his next port. ¥ The point which seems rather a puzzle on the face of it is--how did the ship get into the bottle? And it certainly does seem a sheer impossi- bility to have got that elaborate structure of masts, yards, and rig: ging through the narrow . opexing available for the purpose. But the answer 18 really just as simple as the solution of the some- what similar probalem--how did the apple get into the dumping?--only that In this case the answer is the exact opposite. The ship is put into the bottle. com- plete through the bottle-neck. And | this, briefly, is how it' is done. | The masts, which work in a mina~ ture "tabernacle," lower down to the level of the deck. The yards cock- | bill paralleled with the masts. When everything is finished masts and yards are laid flat, and now comes the crucial moment. However small the model Is folded, it is still quite a ticklish job to get it in un- broken, and the artist's patience is | often sorely tried by something carry- | ing away aloft during the perilous | navigation of Bottl neck Passage! However; we will fancy that for | once all has gone well and that the hull Is .safely floating on the sticky "sea" of ship's paint with which the lower surface of the bottle's interior has been coated. | The next thing is to pull the masts | and yards {ito position by means of | the threads which have been left for this purpose, the threads in turn be | ing disposed of in various ways. If the ship be represented under sail, the thread is usuadly burned off. | If she is anchored, it is made to lead | down through the hawsepipe and the end fixed Into the 'sea' to simulate | the anchor-chain. Of course 'the smaller the bottle neck and the bigger the ship the bet~ ' ter the model. I once saw a little full-rigger with all sail set in a little flat ounce h-'tle with the narrowest of nécks, w.ch wis a real marvel in its way. Then there are flowers in bottles which sallors bring home from Singapore, and sometimes a crucifix is put into a bottle in the same way. As for steamers in bottles, they are a travesty, and the less said about them the better) . N A ------------ Old English Coins Found. Some old English coins of the early part'of the eleventh century, bear- ing the head of King Etheired, were among a lot of 300 silver coins un- earthed by two farmers while en- gaged in making a roadway at Tys- vaer, Norway. It is thought that the coins formed part of the numerous "Danegelds"' which were pald at that time to the Norsemen in order to keep them from raiding the coasts of England. Another interesting item -of the discovery is an ancient Arabic coin. How it reached Nor- way will for ever remain a mystedy, but the Vikings wandered far an wide. They visited the Holy Land and the East, before and during the times of the Crusades. The Dane geld was first levied by Ethelred the Unready in 991 to buy off the attacks | | King, Canute, secured the English throne the purpose of the tax was changed, and made less humiliating.

You feel Wanted: A Religion There is. a great deal of religion in Canada already, conscious and un- conscious, and most of it good, some of it superiatively good, writes Rew. 8. G. Bland in the Toronto Star Weekly. Yet there is plainly not enough or not enough of the right sort. When we read the undying litera- ture in which is enshrined forever the spirit of primitive Christianity we feel ourselves in contact with peo- ple to whom something extraordinary has happened. Wherever they go they talk of a wonderful discovery. They can sing in the dungeon, thelr. feet fast in the stocks and their backs raw with the lash. Often they seem like people exhilarated by wine. St. | Paul could even commend this rells glous experience as a substitute for the elevation of the first stages of in- toxication 'which it suggested. "Be not drunk with wine," he exhomjed, "but be filled with the Spirit," a | mood and temper which ordinarily | the 'spirit of our need more, much more, of the high enthusiasm of Christian dawn. Politics, too, in a democracy can apparently be kept clean only by a high devotion. If religion cannot | kindle and sustain such a high devo- tion it is dificult to see what else can. But the combination of politics | with religious devotion as distin- | guished from religious antipathy and | eslastical interest is not common in Canadian public life. We have the class war.in Canada as in every industrial country. We have, in addition, divisive conditions not present in all industrial coun- tries. We have a marked cleavage between the industrial! east and the agricultural west, and in the east it- self a still deeper cleavage between two races, each proudly tenacious of its distinctive ideals and traditions. What we desperately need in Can- ada 1s a religion that would bring to- gether good men and women of all races and tongues with a great joy ous, self-forgetful passion for the common good, a religion that would' infuse our whole economic life with the spirit service and give to our Patriotism the idealism, the farsight- edness, the patience and the self- | effacing devotion which in a large | and general way nothing can give but a religious faith. { I do not see how anyone could claim that thése needs are being met in dny adequate way by religion in Canada to-day. Some may doubt : whether even religion can meet them. Well, at least, there have been in the past manifestations of the Christian faith that have an inspiring sugges | tiveness. One remembers, for example, the | majestic unity into which the Roman "| Catholic Church bound the diverse _ faces and nations of Europe during the Middle Ages. One recalls, too, the manner in which patriotism and religion were ia the wa or. y ¥ Cathie As still another instance out of many, we sée the way in which a re- ligion 'may Decome a national faith and develop and exalt a national character in the grest part Presby- terianism has played fi Scotland. Rarely has there been such an identification of national charscter and religious faith. Presbyterianism made Scotland. It'lfberated and de- veloped the distinctive genius of the Scots ple. It was a mighty bond of , and what variations and divisions have arisen have remained within it. It is difficult to see bow any of these great historic forms of Thris- tianity can meet the needs of Canada to-day, yet in each of them lies a rich suggestiveness. Is it too daring s hope that there are undeveloped, perhaps almost un~ known, resources in the Christian faith which will have power to knit together the heterogeneous elements of our national life more strongly than medieval Europe was kait to-. urches does not | . { help us very much/to understand.
