Since Wessern Canada comes with- in the northern limit in which corn can-be grown in America, and since the growing season is very short. an early Flint variety must be looked for. Experience has shown that by careful work phase early varieties may be made to produce crops which pay well for the time and labor ex. pendecl upon them. It is a common practice to take some of the earlier Dent varieties and endeavor toa’dapt farmers of the west have been study- ing the corn queStion with a great dealof interest. Although we do not anticipate that the west- will ever become a great corn country, yet we believe that the time is not far dis. taut when it will pay the farmer to grow more or less corn. The liner- imental Farms at Brandon and Indian Head have for years demonstrated the possibilities of growing corn as a fodder crop, while many farmers have likewise verified this. While many good types now exist in that part of Canada and while much has been written recently on this subject, yet we believe that our experience in some of the older provinces should prove helpful to the Westerner, al- though practically nothing has been done in the west with this crop im'. mediately under the direction of th Association. " A careful study of the corn aw in Canada seems to demonstrate that Wherever corn is to be improved it is always advisable to adapt a type which can be relied upon to mature thoroughly in the district. Other- wise the seed will have to he often changed as a result of non-maturity of the crop, which fact leaves no chance to improve the variety by means of selection. The work of corn breeding in Can- ada, though limited chiefly to South- ern Ontario. has made material ad- vance during the past year. Not o‘only has the number of growers :llargely increased, but the general eipublic is beginning to realize more fithan ever before something of the e ‘. nature and importance of this partic- ular branch of work.. and as a result the demand for specially grown seed _8 corn has increased. Keeping in touch ,1 with the individual growers. we have :1 been able to notice a substantial :1 grOWth of intelligent interest on their part, until we now feel assured h of the success of the work and what it will mean to the Province. More- over, the actual information that has '- come back to us from the work car‘ ried on by the different growers, has i added very materially to our present knowledge of the problems of corn breeding and we are thus enabled to 1 work to much better purpose. Since the Dent varieties cannot be matured to good advantage in the more northern dairy districts, it is necessary to send south for the seed, and during the past year there has been an increased demand for seed which is of known origin and which has received Special care according to the regulations of our Association, Where corn is grown for grain in the cooler regions of the north. the early rmaturing Flint varieties are grown. Of this class of corn we now have. several varieties represented, al though the King Philip, Longfellow. Compton’s Early, and Salzer’s North Dakota, are most p0pular. While earlier strains oi the Dent varieties might be developed for the shorter; seasons. yet this practice has not been recommended. since early cornl is believed to be antagonistic to large yields. This in the single-eared Dent varieties is particularly noticeable. Flint corn, on the other hand, may easily produce two and three ears per stalk; and, as a result, a hill of three etalks of Flint corn may be made to closely approach in actual yield of grain a hill of three stalks of the single-ear-bearing Dent types, Ac cording to the Connecticut Agricul- tural EXperiment Station, further- more, the feeding value of Flint corn was found to be higher than that of the Dents. While we have not ad- vised that the Flint varieties sup- plant the Dent varieties. yet we have endeavored to point out that each has its own particular place and that each is capable of being improved very materially. Our Flint corn may be classified into three types. These are the long eight-rowed type, the short eight-rowed type, and the twelve-rowed type. There are many variations within each of these types as regards’shape and color of ear and number of rows of kernels. The system of corn breeding which has been adopted by the Association land which may be found in the sec~ ond Annual Report, page 59, under the section entitled "Elie Row Sys~ tem ’ has for its basis the earrow test. Each row of fifty or more hills in the plot is planted with corn trom la separate ear. which arrangement 'gives each ear an opportunity to 'stW the breeding which is behind it :and to which it owes its excellence. The amazing variation in the produc- tive capacity and vigor of each ear, as revealed by this system when carefully carried out, has gone far to promOte a greater interest in the work. In all the plots operated with according to this system. a decided variation was found to exist between the difierent rows in reSpect to vigor of growth, yield, etc. By this ar- rangement, the top notchersâ€"the best rowsâ€"may be located, and the best plants within these best rows chosen as mother plants from which! to select the seed ears for the plot of‘ the following year.

On inquiry the following ex- planation was offered: Norris Bros. were back of their shop, occupied at something. A barrel that had con- tained gasoline was sitting by, and Peter, after lighting a cigarette, put the lighted match through a hole in the barrel top and instantly there was a terific explosion, blowing out the stout oak barrel head and scatter- it over aradius of a hundred rods.

Three boxes of Chamberlain‘s Salve cured me. It was a torture. It breaks out a little sometimes. but nothing to what it used to do.â€"D. H. BEACH Midland City, Ala. Chamber- lain’s Salve is for sale at Parker’s Drug Store. l The life of a young wife and moth- !er went out on the 18th con. of this township on Friday afternoon when Mrs. Wm. Little succumbed to the wasting attacks of consumption. This death is a particularly sad one, deceased not yet having reached mid- dle age, and leaving a devoted young husband and two babes to battle with life alone. She was a warm-hearted. kindly; well-meaning lady who en- joyed the good will and friendly feel- of all her acquaintances, and all of whom give expressxon to the sincer- es: regret at her departure from the community where she was ever a social, cheerful spirit. Even in her laSt illness, from the character of which she knew. must result fatally, she did not give way to morose con- ditions. but kept the “silver lining,” displayed prominently to the last. Besides the fore-going mentioned relatives an aged father and step- mother survive to cherish the mem- ory of an obedient daughter. A brother also survives, and to all these‘ the heart of the community goes out in sympathy. The funeral on Mon-l day afternoon to St. Paul’s Church Cenietery was expressive of the re gard in which deceased was held by the people among whom she perform~ ed many little acts of kindness during her short life. The interment was made in the Lutheran Cemetery, Revs. Neudoerfier and Budge per. forming the final ceremoniesâ€"Ayton Advance. Dated at Durham. 0113.; 801mb. 190?. There is a legend to the effect that the man in the moon was banished there as a punishment for gathering wood on Sunday. George Wagner, of Garrick, may never have heard that story, or if he has was evidently not impressed by it; for on Sunday of the firm; of September he hitched up his team and went out to the field for a load of peas. Some of the people out there thought this didn’t look Well, and complained to Constable Russell, of Walkerton. The result was an information for violating the Lord’s Day Act. Wagner plezded guilty and was fined 35 and costs.â€" Telesc0pe.

Mr. Hanna, Provin- cial Secretary, on Thursday last to request him to act on the local 0p- tion vote, which was voided on a technicality. ‘When a pole was taken on the local option by-law, the vote for local option was declared to be two fifths of one vote short of the three fifths of the total votes polled lrequired by statute. This result was obtained through the disqualifi cation of one vote gfor the bye law because the ballot did not bear the returning oflicer’s initial. It was, however, clearly shown that two voting papers had stuck together. and one had been initialed and the other marked. The Provincial Sec- retary stated that as soon as the attention of the department had been drawn to the facts a telegram had been sent to the License Commission- ers to suspend granting licenses but when it reached the Commissioners licenses had already been issued. The department would, however. put the matter before the Commissionersj so that the vote of the peeple should' be given eEect to next year, when} renewals oflicenses were applied for. ' Mr. Alexander Mills. K.C., was the spokesman of the deputation. which consisted of about a dozen delegates. l â€"Bruce Times.
