Department of Agriculture, _ Ctsmmitssioner'is Branch, The present season has been a very disappointing one to the great majority of the growers of corn in Ontario. The characteristic lack of care in selecting and testing seed has this wear, more clearly than ever, proved the truth of the old adage that "experience is a dear teaeher." We have had no more glar- ing example of misapplication of energy and waste of labor than in this connec- tion. This condition of things in doubly injurious; first, it causes disappoint- ment in expected results, and, secondly, it discourages further efforts. The task of the farmer is arduous enough even when he works in conjunction with nature. How much more difficult must it therefore be when her co-operation is not forthcoming., - -. - On the other hand, we find our corn growers in this province who have this year, and who always have, good crops of corn. These men have learned to die- eriminate between the good and the bad, and to sow only the best seed. The method of producing this need is very simple, yet withal so scientific that it becomes extremely interesting, and we would refer those who desire to take up systematic work in the imyrolverl‘nent of In the northern parts of the province, where so-called silage corn is grown, the seed is secured in most cases through the medium of the seed merchant. A grower will order a certain quantity of seed, asking to be supplied with nothing but the best; he receives the seed, and in the great majority of cases sows it with. out testing its vitality. and if it fails to grow lays the M.seole blame on the seeds- man. The farmer should test his seed for himself. and if it be good give the seedsman his due; if. on the other hand, it be bad, let him dispose of it as best he can. A failing that many growers have is to delay securing their seed until too little time is left to obtain an adequate knowledge of its real value. Hence the seed is sown in a haphazard manner, and the results anxiously await- ed. There is little cause to wonder at the numerous fields of Hungarian grates iiaiTiGGd the Canadian Seed Growers' Atssoeiuion, Ottawa. . - .. . New Jersey Receiver Appointed to lake Charge in N. Y. State. Judge) Holt, of the United States Dia- trict tut, has appointed George R.

Mr. Beach is the, New Jersey receiver, appointed last week.

We would therefore strongly urge the corn growers of this country to see to it now that well matured ears of 11 de- sirsble type and the product of a hriety noted for successive large yields be sew cured for next year's sded. These should be suspended in dry places until a. couple of weeks before sowing time, when r few kernels from each ear should be tested to ascertain the all-importnst percentage of vitality of the seed in gen- eral. The time of the year is now at hand, therefore when those who grow their own seed, or aim to supply others, should do their utmost to secure (he best possible seed ears, and then store those selected ears in such s mariner that their vitality will be in no wily im- paired. c" Assistant District Attorney Gawan is still investigating the affairs of the con- cern, and Thoma N.

The former, probably owing to the tt',ttlh" of his office. is, without a oubt, the best known functionsry on the British bench. Individuals who could not find their wsy unaided from Charing Cross to the Law Courts yet know who Sir Francis Jeune is and all about him.

In their steps to the bench the two judges differ widely. The President my be described as s. product of 0x- ford. Belonging to s family which had settled in Jersey in the dsys of Elim. beth (which looks very much like flot- ssm of the Armada), hands Jeune, the President', father, became master of Pmbroke College in the year of the lat- 'tees birth.

He wears s monocle to help him; and it must be confessed thst he begins to look more than the sixty-one years currently credited to his age. Those who have the pleasure of Bee. ing Sir French dnily can affirm that all this tune is undesired. In this one point both he and hi colleagues agree. Both have the nppecrence of being the most modest of men. Imagine the exact personal antithe- sis of all this, and you have Sir John Gorel Barnes. His face is broad and ruddy and clean-ehaven; and he looks forth upon his court and suitors through the most formidable pair of spectacles on the bench. He is a man of few words-a little like the late Lord Hannen in that; though these talkative days will never produce another judge on the bench so impaseively silent as that great man. At a first view observ- ers might say that Sir John Barnes wan bluff, where the President is always el- aborame courteous. " But both men have the reputation among their bars of be- ing patient and kindly, and a little dif- ference of manner is not held to denote an_y rtytplifterente of heart.
