The work of testing the gorminatiag
power of grain and other agricultural seeds
is now in active progress at the Central
Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Tip to
the present over 1,600 samples have been
tested and reported on this season and on
the whole with very gratifying results,
showing a good percentage of vitality.
There aro, liowover, some districts in the
Dominion from which samples have been
received of very poor quality and quite un-
lit for aced, In some parts of Manitoba
the harvest season of 1831 was very unfav-
orable and considerable quantities of gain
were left out in stook or stack all winter
and threshed in the spring of 1802, .A.
number of samples of such grain have bean
tested and they show a very low percentage
of vitality, many of them ranging from 15
to 40 per emit. only, and are quite ernfit for
seed. In some other parts of the Domin-
ion, and especially in some sections of
Ontario and Quebec, the weather duricg
the last harvest period was very wet and
the grain in the stook was subject to re-
peated wetthias before it could be Housed,
and ie the meautitne some of it sprouted.
A large proportion of such samples also
show a low degree of germinating power
and if sown as seed will be likely to result i
is poor crops.
Any farmers desiring to send further ;
samples for test should forward them
without delay ; the packages ehould con-
tain about oue ounce each, and they can
be seat to the Experimental Faro free
' through the meat. The samples are tested
and reports can usualfy be furnished iu
about 10 days after the grain is received.
Last year 16,905 sample bags of promis-
lug sorts of grain, weighing three pounds
each, wore sent through the mail to 9,11.41
farmers residing iu different parts of the
Dox)iniou. Tlaiedat'.;;e quantity of grain,
.over 25 tones, Waft all of first quality and
consisted of the most promising sorts'
which have been tested on the several ex

Ron. Minister of Agriculture a similar

year, and already over 3,000 samples have
been sent out, and et large number are be -

the Cause of the Undermining of True
and Legitimate Amateur Athletics.
It would be a hopeless and thankless
task to even attempt to raise the pre -
dent cyclists to a pure amateur basis. I
fear they are imbued with the taint of
professionalism beyond redemption ;
they do not want a pure amateur basis ;
by their own confession they would pre-
fer money prizes, and they are racing
to -day solely for what they can make
out of it.
It anust be extremely mortifying to
American sportsmen—it is to ane—not
to be able to point with pride to the
fast riding of our racing cyclists as the

There are no degrees of honesty.
I claim that some of the manufactuerers
and some of our clubs are rosponsibles
for the souls of many unsophisticated
young men whom they have led astray.

'phis question of legislation in amateur
sport is too lightly considered and in-

Sport is an educator of the boy ; if he is
honest and fair in that he will follow a
similar course in the more Serious walks
of life. If a trickster in his play lie is
likely to carry it into his business.-.
