It should be 150 gallons. To carry twenty-five gallons means at least five trips, and if these trips are up a hill twelve feet high, and is often the case. a ISO-pound man does as much work in carrying his body up the hill for twenty-five days as is required to dig and wall a well four teet In diameter and twelve feet deep. Most wells are about fifty feet deep; then in four months’ time a man has done sufllcient work in carrying water up a twelve foot hill to dig a. well and wall it right at his back porch, and in ten years he has wasted thirty wells and still has no well.

It is a well understood fact that exces- sive anger infuses a toxic element into the secretions. Fear destroys the re- sstive capability, and, as it were, lets down the drawbridge and makes way for the enemy. In seasons of epidemic, therefore, it is necessary to cultivate tranquility and cheerfulness, to learn not to fear, and to surround oneself with an atmosphere of per- sonal, mental, and physical defiance of dangers. An eminent medical authority once made tl'ble * atement that a great deal of contagion is due largely to nervous apprehension and fear. Terror causes radical changes in the secretions and nerve cells, and while the possibility long in stook before being threshed. Farmers in the prairie provinces. who have land that is naturally too rich and too moist to mature cereal grains, would do well to take up the production of timothy seed on an ex- tensive scale. Six cars of timothy seed is a very small part of the requirements of the Toronto market. The duty on timothy seed imported from the United States amounts to teventeen and a half per cent. It the prairie provinces will produce from five hundred to six hundred cars of timothy seed per year, they will to far towards curtailing the import- inz into Canada of seed now grown in the Mississippi valley on land valued from $75 to $150 per acre. This advice is tendered by the seed branch at Ottawa and is worthy of consider- ation by farmers in Northern and Central Alberta. those on irrigated lands and a great many of the farm- ers on the black loams east and south of Calgary, where wheat is an uncertain crop.

Prac- tically all this seed was bold and plump in berry, bright in color, and remarkably free from impurities. Some of it, unfortunately, was con- siderably hulled, due to over-ripeness before being cut and to standing too long in stock before being threshed.
