perirnent'ally'two new varieties of
wheat produced on the Mendelian
system by Professor Bfffin of, Cam-

disciples in England. But Messrs.
King believe themselves in the sys-
tem of pedigree election and not in-

Professor Brine's new varieties is

wheats were Red Joss and Burgoy-

soil and under the peculiar climatic
.conditions of the summer their ap-

Messers King's belief in.the older
systems, which was represented by
• Snowdrop, a new white -chaffed red
wheat with a good close head. The
Mendelian varieties are smaller in,
the ear, shorter in straw, and grew
less closely together, while they are
said also not to remain true to type.
Messrs. Kings hold it to be a clear
triumph for pedigree selection ; but,
on the other hand, of several agri-
cultural experts with whom one of
our representativeihwent over the
ground, those adhering to Profes-
sor Ttifiin of Cambridge are not'dis-
turbcd. In two or three of the var-
ious trials the .Mendelian wheats
certainly net the worst of it, but
the Cambridge men point out that
• many factors enter into the consid-
eration, that -on another soil and in
another kind of weather the re-

growths on the -sante ;ground is a
new selection from Squareheads
Master which has not yet received a
name.
Those - of the unsophisticated to
whom wheat is wheat merely would
'have been struck by the sight of
these sixty-three varieties, growing
in strips side by sde, of all colors,
.from greenish white to deep old gold
.and orange red, square -headed
wheat and lone -eared wheat, beard-
-ed wheat and plain wheat, wheat
from France, Flanders, Egypt, from
all over England. The constant
',search for new and better varieties•
which glees on throughout the coun-
try is slowly making wheat better
and better, hut the chief reason for
the activity in experimental grow-
ing is that all varieties tend to de-
generate after a few' years, and
need to be regenerated again by
special selection. • One attempt
which the Mendelians are now peak-
ing is • being clestely watched by
farmers. English wheat usually
fetches R• few shillings less per
quarter in Mark lane than wheat
from California. and certain kinds
from Canada: The reason is that
these foreign wheats are "strong-
er." that is, rise better in the loaf,
than English. wheats. The explana-
tion is believed to lie in ethe differ-
ence of climate, but the' secret is not
pet definitely known, - and the
Mendelians are now trying to breed
a new English variety, which shall
equal Californian wheat in strength.

As every mother knows the death
rate of little ones in Canada dur-
ing the hot summer months far ex-
ceeds that of any other season o£
the year. The •reason for this is
that the excessive heat brings on
those dreaded troubles, cholera in-
fantuiu, diarrhoea, dysentery and
other 'stomach and bowel com-
plaints. These come on so quickly
and with such little warning that
often baby is beyond help before'
the mother realizes he is ill. Dur-
ing the hot summer months the mo-
ther must be constantly on her
guard to see ' that baby's bowels,
are working regularly and his lit-
tle stomach is kept sweet and pure.
Baby's Own Tablets should alwayfs
lie kept in the hoilae• as they are the
mother's greatest friend. A dose
now and then will prevent these
troubles, or if they do come on sud-
denly they will be quickly banish-
ed by the Tablets. The Tablets
are sold by medicine' dealers or by
mail .at 25 cents a box from The

Papuan Man Does the "Protector"
Act While She is Busy.
Of the natives in Papua a travel-
ler says "When the natives are
young they are quick to learn, and
can be taught almost any kind of
work, and even up to the time of
their marriage they are willing to -
learn. After marriage their ambi-
tion and intellectual development
appear to cease, one of the reasons
for this seems to be that the wo-
man does most of the work, while
the man—being the superior animal
—can see no necessity for further
exertion. He plays the part of her
protector to perfection ; while she
digs in the garden lie leans against
a tree with his spear in his hand n
his hand, apparently prepared to
keep off intruders, but really be-
cause it is easier than doing the
digging.'
