The Spring Seed Requirements Farmers w,ho desire to assure their seed supply at minimum cost are al - .ready taking stock of ,their spring re- quirements. Those who have seed of their o0m will be taking step s to have it properly cleaned and graded before the spring rush. Others, less fortunate, will be well advised• this year particularly, to secure •w*hat they require as soon as possible, making sure that they are getting varieties which are most highly recommended .for conditions such as theirs. Buy Feeds on Guarantee Do not find yourself with a "gold- -brick" feed, money spent and no value in return. Olat feeds analysed in, -tate laboratories of the Dominion Ex- perimental Farms have had a range from 4 to 114 per cent of protein and from .110 to 314 per cent of fibre, meat -meals of from 410 to 95 per cent pro- tein .anidpho'sph'oric acid from 110 to 20 per cent, Therefore do not buy your feeds blindly but study the guar- anteed analyses, as printed on bags or other containers so that you know of -what value the feeds are for your specific purpose, and. also a1s com- pared with •other feeds of the ,same c'la'ss.

Help to make Canada more beautiful, Inoculating Legume Crops When legume crops are being plan- ned for spring seeding, consideration should be given to the question of in- • oculation. This is panticularly rec- ommended for .such craps as alfalfa, sweet clover and soya beans, espec- ialy ii'hen s'eedin'g for the first time. Inoculation consists in. adding a cul- ture of the proper ,bacteria to the seed at the time of sowing. It is easy to carry out and helps to insure suc- cess with the crop. Ontario Swine to be Tested On the Basis of Market Type 'Pt was decided at ,the annual meet- ing of the Ontario Swine Breeders' Association that a series of feeding stations should be es'tablis'h e d throughout the province, at which the progeny of breeding pigs shall be tested on, the basis of market type. The primary object in mind, is that of bringing Ontario bacon up to the level of quality obtaining in Denmark. Discussing this question, George B. Rothsveil, live stock cdnrnrissioaler of Canada, said that the Danes have set the style. It was not necessary for this country to rebuild the stock of bacon hogs by iinportin,g special strains, but duality and uniformity of product, and; a constant and assured volume, were essential 011 the British market. Outlook Brighter Completed survey of the statistics for 11933 paints a brighter picture of farming in this province fh!an in any year since '1'9718.

Not only 'mist the animals be of approved types, but experience has clearly shown that certain kinds of farm animals greatly excel :0th:ors in their ability •to utilize the feeds provided Especially is this true in connection with the feeciing of grains. Poultry would probably head the list in this regard, with the pig stan'din'g a close second in its ability to manufacture feed grains into meat economically. The dairy cow, because of her abil- 113' to give off from her body lin- mense quantities of milk .during a long lactation period, would rank third, followed by . beef cattle and sheep. Weeds in Cereal and Grass Seeds With reference to weed classiifica- tion and seed grades under the Seeds Act, weeds are classified into three groups according to the seriousness of their character. The first group con- sists :of primary noxious weeds, the nine members of which are couch grass, 'bladder camp'ion, dodder, field bindweed, Johnson grass, ox -eye daisy, ,p'eren•nial s'o'w thistle, white cockle, and wild mustard, The sec- ond group is known as the secondary noxious, which includes ball mustard, blue weed, Canada thistle, chicory, field peppergrass, cow cockle, darnel, docks, -false flax, forked catchfly, purple cockle, ragweed (common, great and perennial), ribgras's, Rus- sian thistle, stikeweed, stinkweed, tumbling mustard, wild carrot, wild oats and .wild radish, The third group contains a long list of lesser weeds such as cats -nip, lamb's quarters, einque foil, etc. No seeds of group one, •prim'ary noxious weeds, are allowed in grades No. 1r and 040. 2 for seeds of cer- eals and other :field crops, but allow- ance is •made in grade No. 3 of cer- eal and field crop seeds for five prim- ary noxious weed seeds, or 115 prim- ary and secondary weed .seeds com- bined, 11100 'weed seeds of all 'kinds and 300 seeds of other cultivated plants per pound. 0.1 grade for,seed of clovers and grasses 'allows so s'eeds of 'primary noxious weeds. 'No. 2 grade allows five primary noxious weed. seeds per ounce or 20 primary and secondary noxious •weed seeds 'combined per ounce, 'while 'No. !3' grade allows '2,5 primary noxious weed 'seeds, or 80 primary and secondary noxious weed seeds conrbined, or a total of 1500 ,weed seeds per ounce. 'The use of seed grain that has not been Wel cleaned is responsible •for the introduction of ninny new weeds and the increase of those already in the land. Hotel Chief A. E. Robertson, Canadian Pacific hotel executive, who has been appointed, Assistant General Manager of the Company's Hotels and Chalet -Bungalow Camps in Western Canada, with headquar- ters in Winnipeg. In his new capacity, Mr. Robertson will have under his immediate jurisdiction such famous hostelries as the Company's palatial mountain re- sorts at Banff, and Lake Louise, and the Royal Alexandra at Win- nipeg, the Hotel Saskatchewan at Regina, the Palliser at Calgary, the Sicamous at Stcamous, the Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver, and the magnificent Empress Hotel in the heart of the Ever. green Playground at Victoria. , iHe was a handsome figure of a man, lithe and athletic, His sweeping, curly brown hair and his neatly trim- med Van Dyke beard were the only outward and visible synrobls of ;the artist. For recreation he took to fame- ing, became skilled in that difficult art and could meet on equal terns the best swordsmen of a day in lFrance, when swordsmanship was highly esteemed. On a summer vaca- tion in !Southern, France he met and fell in love with a gifted Danish girl, Isaure Verdier. They were married and had two children, a boy and a girl. One of Paul Peel's passionate' de- sires was to be as fully appreciated in the land of his nativity as he was abroad, and in this he was somewhat disappointed. Canadians then had not learnedfullyto appreciate arid, pat- ronize, art. At a sale of lois paintings in Toronto a few connoisseurs bid eagerly while the ,Canadian Govern- ment purchased two paintings for the 'National Gallery at Ottawa. !In 1900 Peel contracted influenza, which led to an infection of the lungs and his subsequent early death while still a young man. 'Children were his metier in oils, and his most famous painting is "After the .Bath." When this was painted in 11890 it was awarded the gold medal at the salon in Paris, and this was the first time a Canadian had ever achieved this distinction, PAUL PEEL Paul Peel was the most distinguish- ed artist 'L'ondon (!Ontario) ever pro- duced. He was 'born in 11860, the son of a marble worker, who had his modest ltonie and his marble works oe Richmond street north. The father was a marble worker with a decided penchant for art, and the atmosphere of the ,Peel home was such that en- couraged the development of talent. All five children had artistic ability and appreciation but two—the eldest, �4,ildred, and the youngest, Paul- had talent that was really outstand- ing. Mildred Peel +gained national' fame as a modeller in clay. !Paul's talent was even more out- standing. He did slat •show his ability in his early years, but rather in his 'teens. Encouraged and taught by his father in the cluttered, dusty little studio on 'Richmond Street, lie had an early andexcellent foundation. Be- fore he was 118 years of age, Paul Peel was studying art in the Pennsyl- vania Academy of !Fine Arts a:t ,Phita- delplria. From :there he went to Eng- land and thence to 'Paris, then even more than now the international ihanie' of art and artists. 1 -lis career• is Paris, was little short of remarkable for so Young and unknown a man: He stud- ied under the most eminent teachers of the day, including the great Ger- ome, the most celebrated painter and teacher of his time. It was said : of Peel that, like IRembrant, he painted a pot•trait o'l ii!inself anter gazing at leis reflection in a looking glass. IT -Ie was passionately devoted to. his are and from it he never took a rest M - though he was th.oroughly Canadian,, loyal to liis ,native country and never became a ex -patriot, he adapted himself quickly to the Bohemian,life of the Quartier Latin in the days When that famous disltri•ot was at bhe height Of its international distinletionr He was a vital young scan, his gaiety was 'almost Gallic, but he had; too' the Angio ISaxo.ni s franlciness a nd modesty, qualities that endeared him to his colleagues. BIRTHMARKS ! hairy mole is generally regarded as of no particular significance When it is concealed by clothing, but it may be removed by electrolysis, which re niiOveS the hairs 'and at the same time causes the Bole to die 'of bear, The smooth unhniiry mole is hest left alone unless it begins to increase in size or Is situated where the clothing irritates it. The small mole can usually be removed 'by freezing with carbon dioxide snow or may be cut out by the surgeon. But they are sleeping lions and had better be let lie, for if awakened by irritants ar misdirected surgery they occasionally become malignant. U.P.O. AND C.C.F. PART Toronto.—IH, H. 1Hannam, escret- ary of 'tlie United Farmers of .Ontario, has issued a statement declaring his organization was ,withdrawing from the Co-operative erative Commonwealth Fe- deration because it was decided the U,!F:O. could best serve the farmer by acting independently. Mr. Hannam's statement followed the announcement by the. CJCR, Na- tional Council of reorgaanization of the 'Ontario 'Council, Mr. Hannam ,explained the UIFsO. officials decided "the views and activ- ities of a certain element in the On- tario Council have demonstrated t.o us that that element is too close to the Communists and altogether too sym- pathetic to Communist tactics for us to find a workable basis of co-opera- tion with then. .. R. J. Scott, president of the T.J. F. O„ in a •letter to D, 2'I, LeBourdais, secretary of the (Ontario C. C. F, Council, also declared the U:FrO. felt it could "best serve the farm people o'f this province and make a better contribution toward recovery and bhe cause of social justice by proceed- ing independently of the C. C. F." !Withdrawal of the U, iF. 0, from the C. C. IF. removed Miss Agnes. Macphaii, U.F.O. member in the House of Commons 'far North East Grey,' from the executive council of the CIC F . When the 'U.FJO. stepped out Miss Macphai:l automatically fol- lowed. Another prominent figure left the post lie has held .since the inception of the C.C.,F. when Captain Elmore 'Philpott announced his resignation as president of the Ontario Association of ,C.,CR. clubs. !Birthmarks are of two sorts: the nevus, or port -wine mark, and the mole. Nevi are of several kinds, but the 10051 common is the capillary nevus. That may occur on any part. of the body, but .11 is naturally most trying when on the face. It varies in size from a little pink dot not finch larger than a pinhead to a wide patch as Targe as the hand, involving nearly the entire side of the face, ,Lt is usual- ly on a level with the surrounding skin, but sometimes it is slightly ele- vated, Iii some cases it appears as a small rounded spot with lines radiat- ing in every direction from it; then' it is called from its resemblance to a cobweb, a spider nevus. A nevus may be snail at birth and gradually in- crease in size, or it may be very con- spicuous in the newborn child and gradually fade away. Usually, ho,wv- ever, it is a lifelong possession. The 'blue nevus is clue to a group of dilated veins. It in more conspicu- ous than the capillary nevus, for it is usually raised above the level of the surrounding skin and presents an un-•, even surfa'c'e. There is some danger in such cases of profuse bleeding if the skin over the nevus is accidentally cut. Unless it is very large and disfigur- ing it is better to leave a capillary nevus alone. Tlie condition is not so uncommon as to attract much atten- tion, nor is it painful. The venous nevus sometimes calls for treatment on account of the danger of hemorr- hage i1 it should be wounded. If for any reason it is thought best to de- stroy a Nevus, there are several triodes of treatment, all of which, However„ are apt to 'cause .some searring. A fav- orite method is the application of car- bonic diiooicle snow, or so'lidified car- bonic acid. Radium, X rays, the violet ray and cauterization are other means that surgeons employ to remove the nevus. 'The second form of .'birthmark is the mole, which is usually a round or irregular black spat slightly raised above the surrounding surface„ either smooth or covered with hair.

MUSK OX In the northern part of Greenland and in the Canadian barren grounds from Hudson's ,Bay to the Machenzie Rover, we find the musk ox, an ani- mal which is neither 015 nor sheep, but has some of the characteristics of each. 'Its shaggy coat of long hair gives the animal an oblong shape. The dark brown outer hair is slightly aver a foot long, and though the animal mallts en •mile hoofs which keep it from sinking in soft snow, the long hair frequently drags. The' inner coat is soft, light brown, and woolly—it is so dense that neither cold nor moist- ure ure can penetrate. The Eskimo uses it for bedding anci`as an article of barter. Both the made and the female have horns, those of the male being .consid- erably larger. They cover the whole top of the head and are flattened at the base to forth a line in the center, For food, the musk ox depends on grass, saxifrage, lichens and shrubby willows. During the months of July and August, when an abundance is obtainable, the animal eats continual- ly. During the long winters the ac- cuauulated fat serves to nourish the animal, piecing out with the aid of lichens obtained by brushing away the now with horns and hoofs, Musk oxen have been known by their skins since 11970; but it was not until 11899 that a live animal was captured for the Duke of Bedford and introduced to civilization. In 111900 the Zoological Garden at Copen- hagen receiveda bull calf, The name of "musk" ox was given because of the musklike- oder detec- table on the leeward side of a herd, but many who have eaten tlrc meat say that it has no taint at all, butis juicy and • tender. Admiral Peary in his north -pole trip made good use of. this knowledge. He says; "In 11899, in- I'nd•ependeiice Bay, the finding of a herd of musk oxen saved the lives 01 my entire party.".. .Landlady — "A professor formerly occupied this room, sir.

Although clouds covered much of the territory between Vancouver and Quebee these proved no handicap to Frank NI, Hawks on his trans -Can- ada flight from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, last fall. His plane was equipped with a robot pilot, which, when adjusted to a certain course, relieved the human pilot of the oblig- ation of checking his position by landmarks. The pilot can rise to a height of 110,000 feet or more and get above any cloud area, and enable his plane to fly direct to its destination with relatively Title attention from the human pilot. Adjustment had to the made from time to time on account of cross winds which caused the machine to be deflected' from its course. Makes Breathiug Easy.

G, Rib - ben, of the Westinghouse Light Company, made recently in an address at the Royal York Sotel. Toronto that "today there are some 10,000 different kinds of ar- tificial light sources." Approximately T8,000 people own the Canadian Pacific Rail- way through their ownership of the company's common stock. Of these, 36,000 live in Canada. Of the balance, 21,000 live in other parts of the British Empire, most- ly in England, with 16,000 in. the United States and 5,400 in other countries, mostly continental Eur- ope. For the first time in western Canada, an impressive ceremony, the age-old investiture of the Knights of St. John was held re- cently at the Hotel Vancouver, Vancouver when six British Co- lumbians were admitted by King George, sovereign head of the order, to high honors. Old world costumes and strange rites added to the dignity and color of the proceedings. Railways and their important functions in the economic exis- tence of the State were stressed by G. G. Ommanney, development commissioner of the Canadian Pacific Railway at the annual banquet of the Traffic Club of Hamilton recently. They had, he said, contributed materially to de- velopment ` of natural resources, building up of industries and in promoting land .settlement ,and agriculture.
