Grow Ontario Wheat.
Ask our millers about the outlook for
Ontario wheat, and they say that the
future premises a steadily increasing
market and higher. Ask our farmers,
and some of them put on a long face
and say there is no money in Ontario
wheat.
These men are about fifty years be-
hind the times. They have never heard
about such "new fangled things" as
blended flours, They use "Western
hard patent flour." The scientific far-
mer knows all about Western flour, He
know, to his sorrow, that it wasthe
coming of Manitoba wheat that sent
down the price of Ontario wheat. Ile
knows, too, that it is because the aver-
age farmer uses Western wheat flour
that the price of Ontario wheat has been
kept so low. This modern farmer gro z s
Ontario wheat, for whish he receives a
fair price. With this money he buys
blended flour, which contains Ontario
wheat, and a little Manitoba wheat to
add strength. Thus he spends his money
for the products of bis own farm. He
makes a profit on his wheat, and keep,
his money here at home. The farmer,
who uses "Western patent flour," is
making rich the wheat growers of
Manitoba and Alberta.
All this aside, however, there is a
healthy demand for Ontario wheat. The
blended flours are meeting with the
moat gratifying eueeess. The sales for
each month, as reported by the leading
mills, show a big increase over the cor-
responding month of the previous year.
This inoreased demand for blended flours
means an increased demand for Ontario
wheat. Farmers who keep abreast of
the times know about these blended
flours, are using them, and are plant-
ing Ontario wheat for the advancing
market.
It is a great pity that every farmer in
our province does not realize the
importance of making these blended
flours a success. And every farmer can
help in this great work simply by bay
Ing blended flours whenever the ''flour
barrel is empty," The farmers them-
seles will benefit by getting mare money
for their wheat. Stockmen and dairy-
men will share in the profits by paying
less for bran and shorts. As is web
known, the reason these feedstuff. cost
so muoh now is because our local mills
do not grind as much grain as they
should, sed consequently have not the
bran, eto., to tell, And finally, the
whole ptovinoe will benefit, because
higher price. for wheat means more
money forr everybody.

As odd a thing as one can see in t
vest fa the inairr street of a prai
t,,wn, or rather village, on a summ
evening, and it is indeed a uniq
sight.
The street is invariably very wid

such is the case, for the main etre
in summer, in addition to its mo
ordinary functions, is used as a so

In from a twenty -mile drive, cov-
ered with dust and glory, comes the
doctor, deposits his horse at the 'liv-
ery and vanishes into his drug store.
He is the only secretive member of
western society, and that only for
conscience sake. Endowed with true
western loquacity, he is dying to give
the leading symptoms of his latest
country case, if only professional eti-
quette did not forbid! However, he
mentions casually to his clerk that
"Mrs. Tom Gorham of Grove Farm
will pull through alright this time!"
whereupon the clerk slips out for a
minute, and in no time the good news
spreads far and wide,
Presently down the street comes
the telegraph operator, flapping an
ominous looking yellow envelope, and
inquiring in Ioud; cheery tones if
there is anybody "in" from the "east
trail." A score of voices answer,
"Yes ! Bill Anstruther, the young
Englishman who is hired with Jack
Sinclair, is in town somewhere," A
single shrill voice announces that "he
is in the barber's shop," whereupon
the said "Bill," hearing his name
bandied about from mouth to mouth,
appears, towelled and lathered, at the
door of the barber's shop (attended,
razor in hand, by the no less inter-
ested tonsorial artist) and demands
to know "What's the row?" The tele-
graph message is forthwith confided
to his care; to be delivered to a neigh-
bor two miles or so south of him on
the "Smith trail," and sifter the tele'
graph operator assures the nubile that
the message contains "no bad news of
Smith's boy at the Klondike," but is
only "a matter of wheat," society
subsides to its former happy state,
and Bill's shaving proceeds.

P_I LLS,
A MODEL GIRL.
[F, W. Foley in New York Times )
I know a lass who is sweet and fair,
With ripe red lips and wavy hair,
And the seasons come and the seasons
go
Bat ahe'a always fair and her gown
just so;
She's an ideal tutee, with a witching
- grace,
With a figure trim and a winsome face
And you'll find ber now if you look,
I Ween,
On the cover page of a magazine.
In the spring she's dressed in a bud-
ding way,
With a hunch of flowers and a sprig
and apray
Of a blossomed bush, and her hair en-
twined
With a sprig of buds of another kind,
In the summer time when the roses
bloom,
She's a picture hat with a long white
plume,
Or she's set with "props" from a boat-
ing scene -
The cover girl of a magazine.
She's an auto girl or a golfing lass,
Or a seaside belle, as the seasons pass,
And I know when the autumn days are
decked
With leaves, abe'll pose with a leaf
effect
When snows are deep and days grow
rough,
She'll come to me with her boa and
muff;
They may change the season's garb
and scenes,
Bat not the girl on the magazine.
Grows younger, she, I'm sure, with
age,
The winsome lass on the cover page,
I shall see her when the month is gone
With the seine old smile, but a new
gown on;
Green, that's for lea'ves, and white for
snow,
And brown for tan -so the sesame go;
Bat her smile is sweet and her yoara
are teens -
I should miss the girl on the magazines.
