Eleanor had started that very forenoon for the country with her father, and was likely to be .gone until the fall. Mrs. Myers was pro- fuse in her regretsat her daughter's absence and that she must be tied to an invalid through the warm weather, it was unfortunate. but there was no ono to blame but Eleanor's self, she was so much alarmed at her father's condition that she eagerly seized at the doo- tor's first suggestion that possibly country air and faro might prove beneficial. Her own health was so precarious, Mrs. Myers went on to explain, that she was unable to as. sumo the care of Mr Myers herself but she trusted a summer at the seaside, whither she was going with her daughter, Mrs Latight- burg, would renew her vigor. Mrs Weswtck was not a little puzzled over her son, ho did not appear to relish his usual enjoyments and was blind to any and all the en- chantments of feminine N—she took him to task one day with very unsatisfactory results. '.Carmen Royden is a charming young lady" she began, "1 suppose she is," he asserted vaguely. "Yon do not seem very much interested in any of our fair girls Reith?" No, why should. I be, mama?" "Young men are apt to be sooner or later," was the reply "It will probably be later, then, with Hie" he smiled. "But Keith. I have been looking forward to—hoping that—" the lady stopped. embarrassed by the amusement on his face "you know you must marry ana settle clown genie day," she ended desperately • '.Ani I nut settled 1.;: v:e? tee.

"What nonsense, Keith" 'I ]rave not seen woman at home or abroad that I tvcu-d take In exchange for my One of the worst difficulties with which the farmer has to contend is clod formation. Where land con- tains a good deal of clay and is compacted by the tramping of live stock after the frost is out, it may be expected to break up cloddy. The same is true where land con- taining any considerable amount of clay is ploughed when too wet. How is the farmer to obviate this difheulty? The easiest and most effective way is to harrow before be unhitches for dinner or for supper, particularly so if tho c"gather i:; warm and dry, end more particularly if there is at dry wind from the west or Sottt:hwest. Sinoh depends npon the c]iaraeter of the soil, and particularly upon its clay content. Clods will form in four hours, which it is impossible to brenk UP or mellow down until they receive a soaking rain, and do not even then without being dealt with in the right way and at the right time When farmers are ploughing in the fall, they should not harrow, but leave the ground rough; but the man who makes it a rule to have the harrow in the field in the spring and thoroughly harrow each half day's ploughing before he leaves the field, will find it exceed- ingly profitable business. At that time there may be material for a clod, but it has not yet formed. It this is not harrowed and the day is warm and the atmosphere dry and there is considerable wind, the water is evaporated out of this clod material and clod formation is in, evitable. The object in preparing a seed bed is to create conditions under which the roots of tender plants can have full and free develop - meat.

AMERICAN OFFICIOUSNESS Referring to the immense ien- migration into Canada of numer- ous people from so many different countries,' the Canadian Courier says: Making these immigrants into good Canadian citizens is no easy, task.- They may be docile, law abiding, find industrious. and yet not be satisfactory citizens. i 1w i2;:: E "..,"::l Canadian history. :i poi- ° re,'. view, Canadian Alia ideals. This is a, .. The western pro- ee,- , the i)aik of these people go, have provided educa- tional opportunities, and they are now making education cheap and compulsory. Alberta has jest pass- ed a law which provides that every child between eight and thirteen Years of age roust attend school. Manitoba has been discussing more stringent rules in this regard. On these educational authorities, on the various religions denomina• Mons, and on those behind the Canadian Club Movement, rests an important task. It is for thein to see that this polyglot body of new eitizens to moulded by the proper influences.

"I dont know" frankly. "Perhaps I am growing. Isn't that the reason you used to assign for all my boyish restlessness? Oh, not physically, catching her amus- ed' glance at his broad shoulders and extended limbs. "I suppose a man's mind may grow after he has reached his majority, I know I am uneasy ; unasked and unanswered questions are stirring within me, I have been roused in certain dire° tions, the first time for years, and my whole being feels the shock" whimsically. I know not to what it may lead, but nothing just satis- fies me. The reasoning—the sop. histry rather—of other clays does not quiet me, I want a reasonable reason for the life I live, and there is none, you are not pleased be- cause I call society ladies useless ; I call myself worse than that, no language can express my disgust of myself.

April ll—A qneer case of American offioiousness has just come to light, whereby the Govern- ment officials at Port Huron, Mich exceeded their authority in no small degree. About a year and a half ago Arthur Wilton, of Oaradoc went to Pontiac, Mich , where'he obtained einployriient in a factory and saved enough to purchase a house and lot. Mr Wilton came back to Canada recently to take his wife and family to Pontiac. He took his household effects and part of his family with Slim, and crossed the border without any objections. Last Saturday his wife, accornpan- ied by her three children and a lady friend, left to join her has. band. They left here on tho 2 :18 p me train, and when they reached the American side they were stop- ped by the offieials, and were sub- jected to no little inconvenience, so Mrs• Wilton stated. They were, according to her story, locked in a room and asked all kinds of imper- tinent questions, and finally sent hack to Canada at midnight. The little band, of course, came back to Stratbroy, where they had their first meal since leaving here. Mrs. Wilton has suffered greatly from nervous shock. The youngest. child was a babe it year an 1 e hall' old. Farmers Wanting Re= pairs for Spring please order now.

LAND VALUES Those who are in the best posi- tion to know the facts, are greatly puzzled over the knowledge that land values in the County of Lamb - ten, as evicien,ed by sales, are from 20 to 40 per cont lower than they are in other counties in the Pro- vince that are in the same class. While the fact is a serious puzzle it is not so diffioult a proposition as is the one that involves the dis- covery of the reasons that account for the situation. No reason for depressed prices seems to exist' that bus not equal force in its ap- plication to other oounties. The departure of many citizens of the county to the west does not satisfy the seeker after a sufficient reason, for exodus from ether counties is equally ,as great if not greater than' from our county. We Have the good land, we have the favorable location and advantages equal to those possessed by the most favor- ed counties. and yet we have the highest authorities on the subject prepared to show that in all coun- ties surrounding tie, values are much better than in Lambton. The statement holds good for all parts of the county with varying degree and it forms a problem that is de- serving of the very best thought and consideration, and better con• sideration and treatment than is being given to the subject now. Possibly our methods of farming are to some extent blameable, and it may bo want of confidence has something to do with it bet there i3 r nz s r i ins an$thin';!Ike ;.::-.id.';;>.i4 viiru nue in5.it:r , ! :; ai: I50t^.:4 Rill all right it5e]. and maybe it will, but we sea no reason why an effort should not be made to hasten that encl.
