International Grain and Hay Show at Chicago, 'Nov. 29 to Dee. 6, the Ontario Department of Agriculture, jn order to encour- age Ontario farmers to exhibit at this great show, is offering a spe- cial prize of $50 to each Ontario exhibitor who wins a first prize in any class. In addition, the Depart- ment offers special prizes of $25 to Ontario exhibitors standing high- est in alfalfa seed, alsike seed, 6 -row- ed barley, oats, red clover seed and field bean seed. forts of the Department, purebred sires have been introduced over this period of time and this, coupled with educational. extension; work, has made it possible for the sheep breeders in Rainy„ River District to market a very high, percentage of choice lambs. Market lamlb fairs have been held in the district for a number of years when between 300 and 400 lambs are annually brought out for exhibition and market purposes.. On August 20th last a representative shipment of lambs was made to Winnipeg. These were graded and sold as fol- lows: 183 first -grade iambs averaging 851-2 lbs, in Winnipeg sold at 8 1-2c per pound, t1.0 heavy lambs averaging 1001-2 lbs. sold at 7 1-2c. .20 third-grade lambs averaging 79 lbs. sold at 6c.' In addition to these, 96 ewe lambs exhibited at the fair were sold for +brkeding purposes. There will probably be 'twenty car- loads of 'lambs shipped from the 'district before the season is over. The breeders of this section have been following the practice of mar- -lceting their lambs 'when ready and, by having • their lambs dropped in 34(arth and April, shipments have been going forward to the Winnipeg market during July, August and Sep- tember., before-thebig rush of lambs comes on the stockyards for•sale. Sheep breeding in the Rainy River District has filled a great need. Clov- er hay is produced in abundance and the Market for this has usually been not very remunerative. These sheep are carried through in 'good condition and the farmers, by follow- ing the practices of dipping, docking and castrating, coupled with the use of good purebred sires largely of Ox- ford and Shropshire breeding have produced a product second to none on our public markets.

MORRIS: James, the 5 -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Elston, 2nd line of 1Vlorris, met with a very pain- ful accident VV•ednesday of last week. While going out to the road to get , the mail he climbed through the fence and was struck in the eye with a piece of sharp wire which pene- tarted the back of the eye ball. Dr. Stewart of Wingham, was called and, finding the seriousness of the injury, ' rushed him to a specialist hi London. It has not yet been decided whether or not he will loose his eyesight. i Health Service of the Canadian Medical Association. - i HYGIENE OF THE NOSE The nose has more than one im- portant function. By warming or cooling the air we breathe, it adjusts itto the temperature of the body. At the same time, it moistens and filters the air. 'Phe nose 'is the organ into which drain the sinuses or bony cavities which lie adjacent to the nose. A large part of our sense of taste really ,is the sense of smell as perceived through the nose, A healthy nose filters; warms and moistens the air before it reaches the lungs. If we breathe through our mouths, this control of the air is lost, and the air arrives inside of the body without the preparation it should have, and which it would have received had it been breathed in through a healthy nose. The healthy nose does not need to be washed out. Indeed, there is some danger in the use of washes. The way to clean the nose is to blow it gently, one nostril at a time. If the nose is not healthy, then the use of sprays or drops is recommended by the physician to relieve the condition and to restore the nose to a healthy state in which it is best able to do its work and to cleanse itself without in- .terference. The two symptoms which most con moldy occur and which indicate that there is something wrong with the nose are obstruction to breathing anti excessive secretion' from the nose. When a child cannot breathe freely through the nose, he becomes a mouth -breather. This usually irieans that there are adenoids obstructing the nasal passage. Every child is born with some adenoid tissue at the upper and back part of the nose. If the adenoid tissue grows beyond a certain size, it obstructs nasal breathing and should be removed. In addition to obstructing 'breathing, it will very likely result in partial loss of hearing if not removed. When we catch cold, the secretions of the nose are altered in a way with which we are all familiar. The cold is serious because it makes us miserable and interferes with our work. It is very serious when the germs responsible for the cold spread to other parts. If they,. spread into the sinuses connected, with the nose, a yellowish secretion from. the nose, after recovery from the cold, is a sign that one or other of the sinuses is affected. though sinuses are serious even though they are draining freely and not causing, any pain. Any Collection of pus in the body is a focus which may undermine the general health aild be.responsible for disease in oth- er parts of the body. Such a focus of infection should be treated promptly Obstructedbreathing should be corrected, i;'ecause it is necessary for the promotion of health to breathe freely through ` the nose. Children who are mouth -breathers' should be examined f or adenoids, and these should be removed if they are found to be obstructing the nasal passage. Colds should be cared for in order to prevent the spread of infection throughout the body, and if the in- fection does spread into the sinueses, treatment should be secured soon ev- en if there are no acute symptoms at the time.

Silo filling is nearing completion under favourable conditions and there hasbeen a good yield of corn in the Eastern part of of the Province. Root crops are be- low average, with potatoes fair and turnips very poor, Garden crops are in fair volume. Grapes are plentiful and of high quality. There has been a good yield of peaches, pears and plums. Apples area light crop. The tobacco yield is a little below aver- age, with quality fairly good.

Saguenay and Lower St, Lawrence, distriets, where operations were de- layed by rain. In Ontario, the con- tinued dry weather has retarded fall ploughing and the acreage of fall wheat is well, below average. The crop already seeded, however, on the whole looks promising. In the Mari- time Provinces, weather conditions are satisfactory, and a good average grain crop has been harvested. In ]3ritish Columbia, recent rains have been very beneficial, Excellent crops of apples and potatoes are reported.
