Samples Of Choice Grain For the
Improvement of Seed.
To the Editor of the Ativeiataas.
DE'Alt
By instructions' of the Hon. Minister
of Aariculture another distribution
will he made this season of samples of
the most productive sorts of grain to
Canadian farmers for the improve-
ment of seed. The stock for aistribut.
ion is of the very best and has been
secured by the Director of the Experi-
mental Farms front the record-break-
ing crops recently. had in the Canadian
Northavest. It will be worth while
for farmers generallyto renew their
seed. of oats when varieties which have
produced more than 100 bushels per
acre can be had. The distribution this
spring will consist of samples of oats,
spring wheat, barley.field peas, Dillon
corn and potatoes. Every farmer may
apply, but only one sample can be sent
toeach applicant,hence if an individual
receives a sample of oats he cannot
also receive one of wheat, barley or
potatoes, and applications for more
than one sample for one household
cannot be entertained. These samples
will be sent free of charge through
the mail.
Applications should be addressed to
the Director of Experimental Farms,
Ottawa, and may be sent in any time
before the 15th of March, after which
the lists will be closed, so that all the
samples asked for may be sent out in
good time for sowing. Parties writing
should mention the sort or variety
they would prefer, and should the
available stock of the kind asked for
be exhausted, some other good sort
will be sent in its place.

Director Experimental Farms.

A. GENTLE HINT.
In our style of climate, with its sud-
den changes of tentperature,—rain,.
wind and sintsbine often intermingled
in a single day, --it is no wonder that
our children, friends and relatives are
so frequently taken from us by neg-
lected colds, half the deaths resulting
directly from this cause, A. bottle of
Boscbee's German Syrup kept about
your home for immediate use will pre-
vent serious sickness, a large doctor's
bill, and perhaps death, by the use of
three or four doses. For curing Con-
sumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia
Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease
of the Throat or Lungs, its success is
simply wonderful, as your druggist
will tell you. Regular size, 75 cts.
You can get Dr. G. G. Green's reliable
remedies at C. Linz's.
