Tlie baseball game between the great Peterboro nine and a picked team from Lindsay proved to be the most interesting feature of Monday’s programme of the C.L.S. games, and the crowd went wild when the locals pulled out ahead by a score of 4-2. The game was exciting from begin- ning to end, and both teams played excellent ball. The pitching of both Quinlan. and Dusty were the main features of the game; the latter dishing up the goods in Eastern League style, while Quin. lan, the visiting southpaw wonder kept the large crowd in amazement.

Up to the seventh, the Greys looked as if they had the game put away in the bank, but a drive made by Shea to Cain in centre, broughtin Flaherty and Soanes, making the ‘score 2-1 in favor of the Browns. In the follow- ing innings it was suddenly changed by the scoring of Dobson and Cain, and again in the next, another being chalked down by Langdon, making the score to stand 4-2. Harry Soanes, the old ‘Lindsay Wideawake first baseman, filled the old position on first for Peterboro and succeeded in registering a run.

With perfect support he would have scored a shut out, as many of the infield er- rors of the Greys were accountable for the two runs brought. in for Peter- boro, when the locals looked about due for another victory.

Stratton to re- enter the political life that the Gamey charges suddenly broke short four years ago. When his name was first mentioned it was naturally supposed n "1‘ u uvuv‘ â€" - that he would replace Mr. R. R. Hall, M.P., in West Petetborough. But it is now pretty well decided that he will seek East Peterborough, with Mr. Hal running again in ”1's BELIVED R. R. HALL, WILL STAY IN THE/WEST RIDING; Mr. Stratton, it is well known, has a hankering after a resting place in the Dominion house, for he delights in politics. But it is said that a greater hankering than even his is that of the Liberals for him, for there is a feeling that the seat is in danger. Mr. J. Finlay, the sitting member, was only seventy-one ahead in 1904, and he would have again to face A. A. Sexsmith, who seems much strong- er than then. But he is not desirous 0L withdrawing, and is fairly certain to fight for the nomination. In .the face of a shaking seat some of the Peterborough Liberals have turned to the former local represent- ative. They have still a' vivid recol- lection of a large group of electors termed “Stratton’s Conservatives”â€" men who voted Conservative in the Dominion, but Mowat, Hardy and Ross in the Provincialâ€"men who gave the former Provincial Secretary 9. clear one thousand majority. Do these men still live, and could they still be depended on, is the question agitating the faithful. | 7‘ n Conservative Hopes. The Conservatives claim to be very hopeful of winning the two Peterbo- roughs. North G ey is another expec- tation, where Mr. W. P. Telford got in by only twenty-three in 1904. He wants to withdraw, as he is getting up in years, The situation is thus very doubtful among the Liberals, with no candidate decided on, and all the time W. S. Middlebro, a well- known Conservative lawyer, is vigor- ously prosecuting his campaign. Ev- en Hon. A. G. MacKay’s majority in the riding last June was a bare sev- enty. Nor is West Peterborough, R. R. Hall’s riding, considered much safer. His majority in 1904 was only 187, and in J. H. Burnham, his opponent this time, the Conservatives claim they have a winner. .“There is one thing the Canadian farmer is very fortunate in, and that is the system of land tenure. In Scot- land that is the cause of very much dissatisfaction. Most of the farmers are held on leases, usually for three years, and there is not the security of tenure that you have here. Some of the landlords are very reasonable and fair, but others are not. They go London and spend their money ex- travagantly, and their factors or ag- ents put the screws on the tenants.- “But this system cannot continue much longer.

A story has been going the rounds and has been published in different Canadian papers, to the efiect that there is a certain brand of Alaskn wheat which nets 900 bushels to the acre. s-Mr. William Scott,__9f the firm 9! “IV. e-Mr. William Scott, of the firm of Wm. Scott Co., millers and grain dealers, was asked about this and said: "This variety of wheat was known in this district years ago under the‘name of Egyptian wheat, and it is useless for flour linking purposes." .- -- iA“ unnuuu -v- _- _, Bearing out what he sai'd: Mi Scott refetred to the following from a re- cent edition of the North-Western Miller. The Washington correspondent of the Minneapolis Journal, in a de- spatch to his paper, says: “The publication in a widely circu- lated weekly paper (North-Western Miller) of an article by Oscar F. G. Day, of Minneapolis, on ‘Alaska' wheat has called forth an official state- ment from the Department of Agri- culture relative to this cereal. The statement says in part: _ “A \ariety of wheat under the name ‘Alaska' is being widely advertised as capable of yielding at rate of 200 bus. to the acre under ordinary soil con- ditions. It is stated that this variety was found growing wild on the eastern coast of Alaska. “The department states that this type of wheat has been known for many years, both in this country and in Europe. It has been tried at sev- eral State experiment stations in west- ern United States, but nowhere have yields been high enough to merit at tention. . years. In such locations it is said to yield rather better than ordinary wheat, but it is one of the poorest wheats known for making flour. It is never grown where ordinary varieties of wheat will thrive. “Secretary Ooburn, oi the Kansas Department of Agriculture, last week had some fun with the story of ‘Alaska wheat’ recently widely circulated in the press and conspicuously presented in the Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Cobum says that when he sees the wheat he will believe it, but until then he prefers/looking" upon the story as like .hose' formerly despatched from Kansas in the old days of the cyclone and’ the child in the well.

For many, “Fair-day” is but a holiday, but these are' intended to provide much more than a holiday. During 19% the Department of Agriculture will distribute in grants to Fall Fairs over $75,000. This large sum of money is granted to enable each Fair to be- come a strong educational factor for the community in which it is held. In almost every branch of agricul- ture our fairs may prove to be genuine educational institutions, but particul. arly is this true of live stock. There is no better way to interest a boy in farm animals than by giving him some animal ,which he may call his own, and which he may show at his local Fair. There are on the farms in Vic- toria county many fine animals which have never been in the show ring. Not every boy is interested in stock, but every boy likes to have some ' Tell the boys money that they may earn is theirs, and help them select the best animals on the farm and tak to the Fair.

During these first years the boys have learned how to groom and tit their stock, and how to train and stand prOperlyin the ring. Fur- ther, and even of greater importance, the boys have become interested in farm animals. Also, the boys have learned very much class and breed of animals, are showing, and now if they win prizes they seek by did not win.
