Nothing can pay better than i‘ne walnut, while as a shade tree it is equally valuable. We wouid recom- mend our readers to endeavour to se- cute some of Mr. Glenn’s Black Wal- nuts. The trees will be on hand early in the spring and it would be well to communicate with the gentleman at once. It will pay.

The Bakers claim the cause lies with the milleae and hence cannot be remedied by them, Whoover may be to blame, the public should take the matter into considela- ticn, With Wheat 8‘ the present price our bakers should certn'uly be able to furnish bread at the price now paid for the article in Toronto, which we learn is llcte.
