One well-known onion man expresesd the view that the duty on the seed which is largely imported, together with the adverse high rate of exchange would have the tendency to discourage independ- ent ent growers who, he said, were res- 'ponsible for cutting the' price and who prevented the contract growers from regulating supply to demand. Another well-known grower pointed. !out the fact that the West formerly an importer of sets grown in the vic- initw. of Exeter, now enters into op- position by sending sets here to On- tario.—Exeter 'Times -Advocate. Prepayment of Taxes While Council charge interest on unpaid taxes, few municipalities take advantage to any extent to the au- thority given by the Municipal Act fro prepayment of taxes. While fin- ance committees are worrying over bank overdrafts at six or seven per cent., a large number of ratepayers have money lying in the bank at three: per cent., which, in many cases, they Would be glad to use for prepayment, of taxes if given a discount of five per cent. for so doing.

Dag Tied to Railway Tracks , A brutal act was revealed by train- men of the C. ?.R, at Walkerton on Tuesday. As the afternoon train ap- proached the section house east of the bridge, the trainmen noticed a young dog tied to the rails by means ofa chain, evidently for the purpose of having the train run over the' ani- mal. Fortunately the chain was long enough to allow the . dog to jump clear of the track, and the engine, running over the chain, released it and the 'dog scampered away hurried- ly.—Mildrnay ,;Gazette.

Bounty on Starlings— A bounty an starlings is suggest- ed by members of the Elgin Fish and Game Protective Associatio n as one means of exterminating the birds. The proposal came as a suggestion froth the members and no official ac- tion has been taken yet. A bounty of one cent per bird was suggested, which would be sufficient incentive for unemployed men to huntand trap the birds druing the coming fruit sea- son. The birds have for several years now ruined the cherry crop. It isnow suggestedthat the bounty be : . posted by the .government, t he coun- ty or township anal the farmers, the. amount to be divided equally. WEEDS (Experimental Farms Note) Insect pests together with weeds, are recognized enemies of the farm- er and the latter probably cause as much or even more loss than the former. One reason for this is that insect damage is usually more notice- able and more complete, and it usual Iy becomes absolutely necessary for the farmer to fight such an enemy or no crop will be harvested. Then too, insect pests usually are confined to a single crop and these lend:them- selves more " readily to treatment. Weeds, on the other hand, are to be found in practically all crops and the loss of crop not being so com- plete as in the case of insect pests, less time is expended in combating this menace. Weeds are usually hardy, difficult to kill, and are gross feeders. As with other plants, their food can on- ly be taken up when in solution. Their gross feedinghabits, therefore, account for an enormous loss of soil moisture, that "otherwise might to to- ward the production of profitable crops. Contrary to general belief the er- adication of most weeds does not add very greatly to the regular 'farm work, in fact, in the long runit may be said that the reverse is true, for freedom from weeds greatly facili- tates not only seed bed preparation,; but many other farm operations as well. It has been said that "good culti- vation will destroy weeds". This statement is correct in part only. More correctly it .might be said that "good cultivation at he proper time will destroy weeds." • A striking demonstration of this was made at the Dominion Expert- - mental Station, Charlottetown, sever- aI years ago, when two pieces of land, heavily infested with couch grass, were ploughed at the same time. One plot was thorouoghlytop-worked. during„ a hot dry spell, the roots of the couch grass being well brought up to the surface. The couch was practically all killed by the treatment and in the spring very little labour was required to prepare an excellent seed -bed. On the other plottop-working was delayed for a period of about test days. In the meantime several heavy rains had occurred. Top -working at that time was found to be quite in- effective and it was found almost im- possible to kill any of this seed, In the following sprin-g it was found that practically all the couch had survived, and it was difficult to prepare a sat- isfactory seed-ebd. Top -working to be efficient must be ,done at the proper time, and so employed is a satisfactory control for many weeds. • The train was painfully slow! It stopped at all stations, and in be, tween many of them. An inspectoi came along and asked to see the tic- kets. "But this boy cannot travel for Half, fare," he said to a lady; "he's much; too' big." "He may be now," was the reply, "but he was small enough when we, started,". • \\ I�1).-RIq • - • .5.. ic\e..a.8\ Nit. t111 at 4X1\ j!.' stso 4i et ,• vou- / .
