A1- most every evening large numbers gather to Witness the games and cheer the players. Evidently it is the same down in Port Rowan on the shores of Lake Erie and the News is led to make this comment: "What. a lot of energy is expended on baseball every year! If it were not transformed into the vigorous play of baseball what would be- come of it? Energy is of the mind, power and VlgDI' are of both body and mind. Energy urges, and when these urges are transformed into action, the muscular forces are called into play, and muscle grows with use. This is a law of nature. So the ball game makes the boy grow and gives power to his elbow and to every other joint in his body. But there are other games besides hall that help to carry yot‘lth into vigorous manhood, but these games have joy inherent in tlwm. As the body becomes more \‘tgnrous, the. subtle joy of accomp- lishment. begins to glow, and con- tinues to increase in brightness until. the chief pleasure of the well deveIOped man is in his labor. This is why thoughtful men and Wnnwn take great interest in the sports of children. and this iswhy men of sound common sense want to make the playgrounds of youth ample as well as attractive.”â€"Col- linuwuod Bulletin. ‘ Papers with an outstanding edi- torial policy that are fair in their editorials. clear and able 0n the issues before. the people, do wield an influence over other editors, and in that way multiply their power for good.

LIle‘IhlLK . The myth of the summer slump dates back to those dark ages when business was a hit-or-miss proposi- tion. Silly superstitions and fooi- is'n rears so held it in leash that progress was slow and difficult. One of the superstitions which none nlarml smash was the belief that business was permanently alienat- mi from hot. weather and nothing could reconcile. them. Finally some daring pioneer broke the evil spell and all but a few reactionaries have been enjoying summer prosperity ever since.

A good spirit prevails this spring and thereports indicate that grow- ers are co-operating satisfactorily with the corn borer inspectors in an effort to make the clean-up thorough and complete before the first of June. If the feeling of an- noyance and hostility is directed against the corn borer itself in- stead of against the inspector it is altogether likely that we shall go on growing corn as formerly, and the. borer will be numbered with the numerous other pests that make life unpleasant. miserable at times, but are not ruinous or unbeatable. â€"l"armer’s Advocate. It does not. follow, however, that we have nothing to learn from those skilled agriculturists of England and Scotland, especially in regard to the rearing of live stock of the very highest quality. A Canadian live stock breeder. not without re- pute in the sale-rings of Canada and United States, pays a compli- ment to the thoroughness and per- severance of the Scottish herds- man. That is where our technique is weakest no doubt. We cannot take time to be thorough; and if an Old Country herdsman is employ- ed he is not given sufficient time to apply his skill in the persevering way that would he demanded of him were he in charge of an En- gli_s_h or Scottish herd.“ and it has, no doubt, come to stay. Whether we can keep on growmg corn depends entirely on the atti- tude of farmers to the corn borer regulations and to the corn borer Inspectors. If we hut settle down and make the clean-up complete each year there is no doubt that the corn borer will become an or- dinary pest like potato “bugs” and codling worms, which are trouble- some enough, but they (10 not pre- vent anyone from growing potatoes ormapples if they _care to.

A field that has been sown with good seed, cleaned sufficiently to eliminate weed seeds and light kernels will give a good account 01' itself. It will stand throughout the season as a demon- stration, and when threshing time comes round the assembled neigh- bors will observe the results of proper tillage and good seed. If good seed will not demonstrate its own superiority the better seed campaign will prove empty and void. There is every reason to expect, however, that the results will be as expected, and that next year and during the years that follow, growers will demand the heavily milled and graded seed.â€" Farmer’s Advocate. HAVE ANNOUNCED DATE FOR ANNUAL GARDEN PARTY While seedsmen are obliged to conform to the regulations of the Act, farmers are permitted to buy and sell seed amongst themselves with regard to grade or regula- tions. In many cases seed bought and sold in this way would grade “rejected” at the Seed Branch labâ€" oratories. However the country is not ready just yet for any ordin- ance that would prevent this inter- change ol‘ seed_amongst‘ne_i_ghbors. . The Board of Managers of the Durham Presbyterian church have selected Thursday, June 28, as the date of their big annual garden party. This was the decision at a meeting held on Monday of this week. This well-known garden party is to be better than ever this year. the committee in charge of the entertainment having secured new talent for the programme, the particulars of which have not yet been sufficiently closed to warrant an announcement. resenba‘tives have been taking samples in every county in Ontario, and when the collections are an- alyzed it will then be known whe- ther we are maklng any appremâ€" able progress in the matter of bet- ter seed and weed control.

Free demonstration gladly given at any time. Announcing the Appointment of An industry which has grovm by leaps and bounds in Ontario, and particularly in Grey count during the last year is that of .c inchilla' rabbit breeding. Only those who have taken the trouble to anGS-e tigate. the industry really know anything about it, and the money that is to be made by those en- gaged in 1t. One_ year ago it was estimated that 1n Grey county“ there were not less than 100 chin- chilla rabbit farms in the county, and by the farm is meant places where these animals are bred and raised for commercial purposes. An authority on the matter states that today there are more than 200 of ‘ these farms, and that many thou-‘ sands of these little blue grey ani- mals are being-'ralsed and pelted during the course or a year. At the piesent time hig h grade pelts, that is pelts which will reg- ister 85 per cent perfect, are worth in the neighborhood of $3.00 each, an increase of $1.10 a pelt over that of a year ago. This increase is due to the fact that the Canadian Small Breeders’ Association, which looks after the welfare of the in- dustry, and markets it, is paying particular attention to the details which result in the production of only the best. By means of proper f,1eg1st1~ation inspection by compet- ent otficials and education, the ,qualitV of the pelts is being stead- ily imprOVed, and the IOWBI grade animals am being eliminated as Iapidly as possible“ CHINCHILLA RABBITS ' BEING RAISED IN GREY When it is considered that over two million Chinchilla rabbit pelts are imported into Canada eV'ery year from other countries the op- portunity for Canadians interesting themselves in it must be apparent. At the present time the domestic pelts, or those raised in Canada, only supply about 2 per cent of the requirements, and in view of this fact it is not to be wondered at M. GREIG CALDER that Canadians are just be to wake up to the possi1 ilitlies 1which confront them. It is contended that there is no busmess .today ofl‘ermg such large profits With such a small outlay of capital and labor as the.m1s1ng_ of chinchilla rabbits. A grablt requires only about two square. feet of space and ordinary packing boxes work very well for a start, gradu- ally increasmg the accommodation as the number increases. One who has had considerable experience in the raismg of chinchilla rabbits states that the main thing in rab- bit breeding is to commence with good stock by buying the very best no matter what the cost. The fur dealers today are after the good pelts and are willing, to pay better rices in order to get the good stufi'. hIS' IS proven by the-fact that better prices are being paid today than ever before, in fact the breed- ers who. have been in the business some time hardly realized when they started that such prices could prevail. - ' These facts go to show that chin- chilla rabbit breeding is only in its infancy, and there is no danger of the industry being overdone, at least, for a great many years. ‘_ A great many women are devoting their time to rabbit breeding in place of raising poultry and are finding it very interesting and more profitable. It. is claimed that Ontario has the finest climate in the world for rabbit raising and there is no doubt that in a few years Canada will be the greatest rabbit producing country in the world. Any .time between November and Aprll IS the proper time in which to pelt rabbits, as they are in the Don’t pass ears ~ ~ . unless there is room in your own traffic t“ 5 #3:; m 551‘ Durham, Ont. a: 3:31» ’7" The HON. CEO. 8. HENRY, Chairman. Highway Safety Committee line ahead best condition at that time, and the market is at its highest. Rabbits are rapidmultipliers. as they breed four tmes a year, and the average in a litter is not less than six, so that one can visualize the rapid growth of this growmg industry. There is never any difficulty in finding a ready saie for the right kind of pelts. and the cash returns are always satisfactory. “PINKHAM’S Read This Letter from a Grateful Women BfllPfllINll IS‘WONDERHII. a PAGE 8.
