W1NCHELSEA A tetter received yesterday from Buckingham Palace, London, address­ ed to Mr. E. L- Ruddy, President of the National Sanitarium Association, states that His Majesty King Edward vm. has accepted the invitaiion to be royal patron of the Association. “I am commanded by the King.’’ reads the tetter which is on official black-bordered Buckingham Palace stationery, "to inform you that His Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant his Patronage to the Na­ tional Sanitarium Association., To­ ronto. (Signed) Wigram, Keeper of the Privy Purse.” This tetter came to Mr. Ruddy by way of Government House in Ottawa, along with a kindly message from the Governor-General. In 1907 the then King Edward VII. and Queen Alexandra first Royal Patrons of Hospital. Ever since, the Royal Family have interest in the work. Muskoka Hospital for Consumptives, the Toronto Hospital for Consump­ tives and the Queen Mary Hospital for Consumptive Children at Weston, formerly had as Royal Patron the late King GeoTge V. His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, great-uncle of the present sovereign, laid the corner-stone of the Queen Mary Hospital for Consumptive Children. It was the first hospital in the world devoted to the treatment of children’s suffering from pulmon­ ary tuberculosis. Oa May 12, 1913, Queen Mary in Buckingham Palace, pressed a button by which the doors of the hospital were electrically opened. When fire destroyed the original section of the Toronto Hospital for Consumptives, the King Edward Memorial Fund was inaugurated by Which over six hundred thousand dol­ lars was raised. In this work the Duke of Connaught took an active part. Upon teaming recently from the Earl of Bessborough that the tiny patients at the Queen Mary Hospital for Consumptive Children had taken from a London illustrated paper and framed a picture of Queen Mary and the Princess Elizabeth, Her Majesty voluntarily sent the children a signed portrait of herself and the little Princess. Every Governor-General of Canada, from Earl Grey on> has been Hon­ orary President of the National Sani­ tarium Association. The three hos­ pitals maintained by the Association have a total of over 1,000 patients. Canada again pioneered medical achievement when the new Surgical Building, one of the first structures erected on this continent Tot the surgical treatment of tuberculosis, was opened about three years ago at Weston. It has already justified it­ self, said Mr. Ruddy. became the the Muskoka members of taken a deep Experiments sheep for the tional deficiencies common to breed­ ing ewes, fed underxange conditions and on farms in western Canada, have resulted in findings which are likely to p’love of great value to sheep rancheis and fan'mers. The University of Alberta, in co-opera­ tion with the National Research Council, has been carrying on ex­ periments aimed to improve rations for breeding ewes in years when winters are long and grazing is dif­ ficult, or when as a result of drought the variety of feeds produced on farms is restricted. Experiments covering a period of years show that alfalfa hay con­ tains ingredients which approximate quite closely those contained in natural pastures. Ewes receiving alfalfa hay as part of the ration re- thriftir.ess, reproduc-. general health eighteen months, on dry feed suin- tained their five capacity and over a period of even though kept me-r and winter. The value of this information to ranchers and farmers is that it sug­ gests the importance of feeding al­ falfa hay at all times. When, due to adverse climatic conditions, feed has to be bought or made available on the range or farms, first consid­ eration should be given to the pur­ chase of alfalfa hay, especially if re­ quired for breeding stock. The findings of the experiments are cf special significance in view of the greater volume of being vinces voured sease. of the plants discoloured lesions on livin lets the determination of this tro and die.

Corn in the United States is af­ fected by several distinct root-iot diseases, and though it is not yet known which one or ones are re- 1 sponsible for the .trouble in Ontario, certain preventative measures are common to all root-rots of corn. In the'first place a rotation should be practiced. Corn should not follow corn on the same land year after year. From the standpoint of root­ rot it is usually safe to on the same land only three or four years. At type of corn ir-oot-rot is the seed. Consequently, lection of seed no ears showin, discolouration or abnormal streaking of kernels should be used. The dusting of seed with organic (mer­ cury compounds has in the South given good control of seedling rots and has improved the initial stands. A measure of success has also been obtained in the breeding of of corn resistant to root-rot. .MERCURY produced in the and throughout alfalfa prairie Canada. now pro- An Ideal Seed Exhibit ideal seed exhibit or aAn fair consists of one made up of ker­ nels typical of the variety and near­ ly alike as possible in size, shape and colour.

His wheat and barley crops are good but his eats are so well-filled and ma­ tured that they feel "as heavy as lead.” This comparison may be somewhat overdrawn, but it tells the story <c-f a wonderful crop of oats for this year.

He borrowed one from my papa.” His Majesty on the Canadian Pacific Mercury was known from early period; the mines of from which the Greeks obtained sup­ plies, were worked at least 7 00 years before Christ. During the Middle Ages the alchemists made great play with this metal, believing that it was a constituent, perhaps the essence or vital principle, cf all metals. In colour silver white, with a pro­ nounced metallic lustre, it is the only known metal fluid at ordinary temperatures. It may be frozen solid, and in that condition may be hammered, rolled and welded like other metals. It has the remark­ able power of dissolving, or combin­ ing with, other metals, without the aid of heat, forming amalgams some of which have great technical and commercial importance. Mercury is used in the metallic form in the recovery of gold and sil­ ver from their ores by the amalgam­ ation process, in the preparation of barometers and thermometers, for floating the lanterns of lighthouses, for coating the backs of mirrors and for the preparation of amalgams. It is curious that there has been no Canadian production of new mer­ cury since 1897. Previous to this a small output of ■quicksilver was pro­ duced in British Columbia from a property situated on of Kamloops Lake, mefeury producing Italy, Spain, United choslovakia. 'Our imports of mercury last year amounted to over 202,000 pounds, Of which Italy supplied 147,000. The value runs from one dollar to on® dollar and a half per’ pound.
