enemies. Both parties landed on the
western shore and prepared for bat-

ves behind a rude stockade of tree
trunks, from which they came out
to attack Champlain's Indians. He,
with two other Frenchmen, had hid-
den themselves in the woods, so as
to surprise the Iroquois by their
sudden .appearance Led by three
chiefs, decked with tall plumes of
feathers fastened :n their hair, the
Iroquois advanced, and the arrows
flew thick on both rides. Champlain
stepped forward in sight of the Iro-
quois, who ceased firing in their as-
tonishment. Taking careful aim at
one of the chiefs, he fired his ar-
quebus, which he tells us he had
loaded with four hu"cts, while at the
same time his two companions fired
from the woods. Two of the chiefs
fell dead end a third was wounded.

Buy Certified Potatoes Now
Certified seed will do more, per-
haps, than any other -irgle factor to
improve the potato "'.'p on the aver-
age farm. Certified aped will likely
be scarce and expensive neat spring
and therefore the wise farmer will
arrnnge for his supply now.
R. D. Xodwell, of Hillsburg, one
of the best known producers of
quality potatoes, ween acting as
field man for the C.rons and market
Branch during the past summer, had
an excellent opportunity of observ-
. ing differences in potato crops. He
says : "My eyes were opened to the
serious state of the p tato business
in the ordinary farm. I was amazed
at the amount of black leg and
rhizootonia in the average fields. In
many cases the lossimm these two
diseases alone would run from 10 to
' 25 per cent." This meant to many
farmers this year a loss of from $10
to $40 per acre'. Cortified seed not
only require the diaeaee loss but in-
creases the yield ani quality.
No farmer can of rrd to use poor
seed.
