DISTRIBUTION OF SEED (H.1IN From the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. By instruction of the Hon. Min- ister of Agriculture a distribution is bring made this season of samples of superior sorts of grain and po- tatoes to Canadian farmers for the improvement of seed. The stock for distribution has been secured main- ly front the Experimental Farms at Indian Head, Sask., Brandon, Man., and Ottawa, Ont. The samples consist of oats, spring wheat, barley, peas, Indian corn (for ensilage only), and potatoes. The quantity of oats sent is 4 lbs., and of wheat, or barley 5 lbs., suf- ficient in each ease to sow one -twen- tieth of an acro. The samples of Indian corn, pests and potatoes weigh 3 lbs. each. A quantity of each of the following varieties has hen secured for this distribution :--- Oats.---Banner, Abundance. Dan- ish Island, Wide -Awake, White Giant, Thousand Dollar, Improved Ligowo—all white varieties.

Applications on printed cards or sheets, or lists of names from one individual, or applications fur more than one sample for one household, cannot he entertained. The samples, e ill be sent free of charge through the mail. Applications should be a(ldreas(•d to the Director of Experimental Farms, Ottawa, and may he sent r, any time from tilt' 1St of Decem- ber to the 15th of February,. after elite!' the lists will be closed, so ;hat the samples asked for may be lent out in good time for sowing. Applicants should mention the va- riety they prefer, with a second sort as an alternative. Applications will be filled in the order in which they are received. so long as the supply of seed lasts. Fartners are advised to apply early to avoid pos- sible disappointment. Those apply- 'ing for Indian corn or potatoes ahuuld bear in mind that the corn is not usually distributed until April, and that I•.,trtoes cannot be mailed until dance r from frost in transit is over. No postage is re- quired on mail matter addressed to the ('entre]. Experimental Farm, Ottawa. ('.151111:3CS SUICIDE. II. F. ileenan. of St. John. Short in His Accounts.
