When Parliament was in session a number of very useful papers on Agri- cultural topics were read by prominent authorities before the Standing Com- mittee of the Senate on Agriculture and Forestry. One of these by W. Saxby Blair, Professor of Horticulture, Macdonald College, Quebec, deals with the growing of garden vegetables. Af- ter pointing out certain important de- tails more or less common in their ap- plication to all vegetable crops, the author follows with more specific in- formation relative to the growing of the principal vegetable crops grown in this country. Among other important points taken up are the construction and management of hot beds and cold frames, kinds and application of man- ures, tillage, successional sowings, etc. Among the crops dealt with are toma- toes, onions, cauliflower, celery, mel- ons, parsnips, beets, salsify, egg plants, spinach, sweet herbs, aspara- gus, etc. Of all these and others de- sirable varieties are named.

A MARTYR TO HAY FEVER "Fruit -a -tires" Cured Ater 15 YeSrs' Suffering CORNWALL CENTRE, ONT., NovEMBAR 27th 191I. "I was a martyr to Hay Fever for probably fifteen years and I suffered terribly at times. I consulted many physicians and took their treatment, and I tried every remedy I heard of as being good for Hay Fever but nothing helped me. Tlien I heard of "Fruit-a-tives" and decided to try then, and I am thankful to say that this remedy cured me completely. To every sufferer from Hay Fever, I wish to say -"Try Fruit-a-tives". This medicine cured me when every other treatment failed, and I believe it is a perfect cure for this dreadful disease - Hay Fever" MRS. HENRY KEMP. The real cause of Hay Fever is poisoned blood, due to the faulty action of the bowels, kidneys and skirt. , "Fruit-a-tives" cleans the blood by regulating bowels, kidneys and skin - and thus relieves the excessive strain on the nervous system.

On "threepenny day" a new three- penuy piece is presented to each of the pupils In the famous Eton college in England. The custom was founded nearly 400 years ago by Roger Lupton, , who was provost of the college from 1502. to 1633. Lupton arranged vfith the fellows for an annual distribution of money on the anniversary of his death. The provost received 2s. 8d., the fellows, headmaster and Lupton's chaplain ls. 4d., the other chaplains and usher eightpence, the clerks six- pence and the scholars and choristers a penny each. The scholars still get this penny in the threepenny pieces distributed to them on Feb. 27, the other twopence being from tate gift of Provost Bost, Lupton's successor as provost. There was a tradition at Eton, which has been disproved, but which subsists to the present day, that half a sheep is what the colleger is really entitled to and paillh coilsge4 evade lhei obll- gatlon by giving the value of hall a sheep in the middle ages, Some tbne in the middle of the last century a boy named Charles Henry Branwell, on being tendered his threepence by Bethell one of the fellows, said: uSto, Bethell, you, sir, 1 want &y half sheep." "Bethell flew into an awful rage," says the late Montagu Williams, who tells the story, "and exclaimed, "I'll mention this matter to Dr. Hawtrey and have you flogged,' " and flogged the unfortunate youth was, -New York Sun. THE COST OF LIVING. You Can Easily Keep It Down if Yew Care to Try This Plan. In these days of high prices anxiou.4 heads of families are eagerly seeking helpful hints for keeping down ex- penses. As containing such a sugges- tion the following story of a gormand -and sage -of the sultan's realm, told in Hester Donaldson Jenkins' "Behind Turkish Lattices," is hopefully offered: It is said there was once a man who se dearly loved his evening meal that every day while he worked he did nothing but plan what it should be. At the thought of the viands his mouth would water and he would rejoice ever the food that was coming. One day it occurred to him that he got more enjoyment from the long an- ticipation than from the brief realiza- tion. and then the thought came to him, Why not have the anticipation without spending the money that the dinner bad been costing? So he tried the plan. "I shall have kabobs and fine pilaff tonight,". he would assure himself all day. "and after that wire cake and yogurt." , He would lick his lips in happy an- ticipation while he worked, and when night came he would eat a simple meal of olives and bread and remark: "'Tis as if I had eaten." The plan worked so well that in tke course of years he saved enough money to build a mosque, which he called "The 'Tis -as -if -I -had -Eaten Mosque." School Discipline. The young teacher should learn and the older teacher remember that for every teacher that fails on account of lax discipline there is another who fails on account of overgovernment Some teachers assume the same attitude as the policeman who found two men talk - Ing on the street corner and ordered them to move on, as there was an ordi- nance prohibiting crowds gathering on the streets. One man remonstrated, saying that two did not make a crowd. "One makes a crowd if I say so," an- swered the policeman. A teacher who assumes that whatever he says Is law, and it is law because he says it, is making a sad mistake. When the pu- pils have n definite aim to do and the teacher bas a definite aim in what he - does there will be no time or occa- sion to "maintain order." it will main- tain itself. -Missouri School Journal. Origin of the Postmark. Great Britain, it is said, can without fear of contradiction claim the honor of having originated the postmark. The first one, which was used in Lon- don as long ago as 1660, was a very simple affair, consisting of a small cir- cle divided into two parts. In the top portion were two letters indicating the month, while In the lower half the (1-i of the month was shown. No endea'•.11r was made to denote the year, and it Ls only by the dates of the letters on which the mark is impressed that it is possible to fix the date of its use.

Although home grown seed potatoes are selling at high prices, foreign grown potatoes should not be substi- tuted for them.

Should these dis- eases become prevalent throughout the United States the cost of producing future crops might be very greatly in- creased. Do not, therefore, under any cir- cumstances use foreign grown pota- toes for seed, either at the north or at the south. The sorts which are coming to this country at the present time are late sorts and aro not adapted to plant- ing is the south, where early potatoes are the main crop. Neither are they adapted to planting at the north, for they will not produce a satisfactory yield. They are not adapted to our soils et to our climate and will not yield proSb able crops, but the danger of introduc- ing diseases not now present is suffi- cient reason for refusing to plant then. More Canned Corn Used. The consumption of canned sweet corn is rapidly increasing In this conn. try. The figures collected by the Na. tional Canners' association show a threefold increase for the last ten years. The fear of ptomaine poisoning and of injury from various bacteria is no longer felt and there is little or no danger from these sources. .2••F �I-1•I•i-1±I-1 1-i 4+ Printed farm letterheads and envelopes are traveling advertis- ers.

According to statistics gleaned from the 1911 Census of Canada, the total capital value of the fruit growing in- dustry in British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime Provinces is in round numbers $12,000.000. This is the estimate worked out by the Chief of the Markets Division of the Dairy & Cold Storage Branch of the Depart- ment of Agricultare, and published in the printed report of the proceedings of the third conference of fruit growers of Canada, held in Ottawa last Febru• ary. This conference, which lasted three days, was a very important one from many standpoints as it was busily engaged during its six sessions with matters of greatest moment to the great and growing industry represented. Among the subjects dealt with were, co-operation, new fruits, refrigeration, fruit packages, amendments to the In- spection and Sale Act, transportation, crop and market reports, etc. In ad- dition a number of addresses were delivered by such notable men as the Prime Minister, the Hon. Martin Bur- rell, Minister of Agriculture, himself a large fruit grower, and Dr. Tames W. Robertson. In order to give the fruit growers and others interested in the industry in all parts of Canada the benefit of this conference, the Hon. Mr. Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has authorized the printing of several thousand copies of the report which will be sent free while the supply lasts to those who apply for it to the Publi- cations Branch,Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa.

"Geordie," he said, "I had an awful dream about you last nicht." "Aye, man Sandie, and what was that?" "Weel, Geordie. 1 dreamt ye were dead." "Man, man, Sandie, that was bad, but it micht hae been waur." "Aye, Geordie, but it wis waur. I dreamt ye were dead and had gone to the 'bad place.' " "Losh me, Sandie!

"Weer, ye ken, it micht hae been true!" The Ontario Government experts, who were appointed to judge in the standing field crop competitions, have sent a memorial to the Dominion Gov- ernment, asking that the seed act of 1911 be amended to make it compul- sory that the Province, State or county of origin be indelibly marked on all packages of alfalfa seed offered for sale. - 4.4.4.+. 4.4 The Times Clubbing List + : . •... + . + • + ..,, Times and Weekly Globe . 1.60 4. 4. 4• Times and Daily Globe 4..50 .10 4.
