Controlling Nature.: Everybody knows that of late years natural forces have been wonderfully' subjected to man's need. We are daz- zled by the spectacular achievements in steam and electricity but are likely to forget the less noisy but no less marvellous conquest of animal and plant life. Horses are swifter, cattle heavier, cows give more milk and sheep have finer fleeces than in daysgoneby. In plants the transformation is even more marked. People now living can remember when the number of edible fruits and vegetables was far less than at present and even those that eould were vastly inferior to what ;_„a` low have. For example, our par - juice knew nothing of the Tomato ex- ma+.„it as a curious ornament in the gar - ,.en. Sweet Corn was hardly better °than the commonest field sorts. " Alt oranges had seeds. Celery was little known and poor' in quality. In the flower bed the magnificent Panay has .replaced the insignificant Heart's Ease, from which it was developed, and the Sweet Pea in all its dainty splendor :traces its origin to the common garden \vegetable. This progress has been made in spite of the great tendency manifested in all plants and animals to go back to the original type. It is indeed a battle to keep strains pure and op to the standard they have al - .ready attained, leb alone any improve- ment. The practical results are aoeom- • lished by men operating largely for love of work, like Luther Burbank in ,California and Eckford in England, as aattett as by the great seed. merchants, M. Ferry & Co., of Windsor, Ont., who are not only eternally vigilant to hold what ground has been gained, glut have a corps of trained specialists tacked up by ample means to conduct .new experiments. The result of their 'experience can he found in their 1906 Beed Annual which they will send free -to all applicants.
