Smaat, of Ellice, lost a val- uable bull Thursday, through poison- ing, Mr. Smart was engaged in putt- ing paris green on the potatoes, and the animal was in the next field.

To the farmers the beet sugar prob- lem looks about as follows:- It costs 330 per acre to produce sugar beets. The average yield per acre througout the country in 1903 was 9.6 tons. The average yield secured by the more in- telligent growers. however, is 12 tons an acre. The factories pay $4 to $4.50 per acre and a net profit of $18 to $24, which is more than double the average profit on crops. A Woodstock man says burdocks may he easily destroyed by cutting the stocks three or four inches below the ground. The burdock is a bien- nial, growing one year and seeding the nest. It is a most abominable weed, but yet the easiest to handle if taken in hand as above mentioned. If thus cut, in two ears there would y not be any left, Now is the time to cut them, he says. The presence of the daisy weed in the meadows is very noticeable this year: Fields that a year or two ago showed not a trace of this pest are now in many places white and yellow with daisy flowers. The only way to account for it is that farmers have been buying grass seed that was dirty with daisy seed. Many farmers will regret not having sowed their own grass seed.

Sweet is now nursing.a very sore head the re- sult of an accident at Grand Bend, which might have proved more seri-` ous. It appears the lad. in company with his mother and others were driv- ing from Grand Bend to Maple Grove and in some rough place on the road the vehicle made a lurch throwing the boy off his 'seat against the hind wheel. In the fall he sustained some very severe cuts and bruises especially about the scalp and face.

HOT WEATHER PREDICTION'S - The Rev. Irl Hick's forecasts for the week ending Aug. 15th predict some hot weather which will appear from about the 11th to the 16th. At the beginn- ing eginning of this period the warm wave will start in western sections,attended by low and falling barometer; easterly to southerly winds will increase the heat over all sections east of the actual storm centres. As the low barometer moves eastward, threatening clouds, with severe local storms will visit many sections, with favorable condi• for some generous mid -summer rains. A Mercnry disturbance is also °central near the centre of this regular storm period, This. greatly increases the probability of rain from about the llth to the 15th.
