about nine o'clock I think there is
little danger of a scarcity of lawyers
for some time. There are quite a
number of ladies in attendance;
whether they intend practising law or
otherwise I have not learned.
Among the articles which have been
reduced in price recently, the most
noticeable is boots and shoes and

The newspapers here tell us that
the Ontario M. P. P.'s will vote them-
selves another 6800 for their labor
this session, which will bring their
pay tip to $2,000 This means big
pay, short hours and light work, and
that is what a great number are
clamoring for right along. In speak-
ing
peaking of salary grabs I will predict
that if this is introduced as a Gov-
ernment measure, the Government
will be sustained by a very handsome
majority, in fact it may be unani-
mously carried. Politics is the mad-

Dear Expositor: -Yesterday was
St, Patrick's day and a number of

This and some concerts was all that

of the man who introduced Chris-
tianity into Ireland, and who, it is
said, banished snakes and toads from

A.s far an I can learn, Mr. Sabine,
the druggist who was murdered in

i former pastor of Walton Methodist
circuit. The authorities have now
got hold of a number of criminal
ruffians and think the murderer of
Sabine is among the number, but it
may be diiiicnit to single him out.

Oats -Although there are about.`
one hundred varieties of oats grown
in general cultivation in Ontario
about two-thirds of the entire oat
crop consists of two varieties, viz.,
Aho Banner and the O. A. C. No. 72.
.The Banner variety of oats was in-
troduced at least two eeore years ago
leder the naaue of Vick's American
'Banner, It was the leading variety
of oat.e in Ontario tor a number of
yenta, and is still prominent in some
locaatiey,
The 0. A. C. No. 72 variety, nf oats
originated at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College from a single aeed in
1903. It has been included in the
regular College experiments for the
past thirteen and in the co-operative
experiments over Ontario In each of
the peat seven years. The average
results for the thirteen -year period, in
bushels of grain per acre per ann1m,
has been 86 for the 0. A. C, No 72
and 76 for the Banner. In eaeli of
the peat nine years the 0. A. C.
No. 72 variety has given a higher
yield per acre In the average results
than any other kind with which It
was tented throughout Ontario. With-
in the plot four years the standing
field crops of the 0. A. C. No. 72 oats
have taken from three to !our' times
au many first prises as those of the
Banner variety in the Field Crop
Competitions throughout Ontario.
The grain of the 0. A. C. No. 72 var-
iety of oats has taken the Champion-
ship prise at the Ontario Provincial
Winter Fair in each of the past are
years.
The 0. A. C. No. 3 variety of oats
is about ten days earlier than the
Banner, produces a medium length
of straw and grain which has a lower
percentage of hull than any other
named variety tested at the College.
It is particularly well suited for mix-
ing with barley when it is desirable
to grow these two grains in combin-
ation, a practice now being followed
by many stock farmers throughout
the province.
Barley. -Forty years ago the Com-
mon Six -rowed barley was grown
almost exclusively in Ontario. In
1889 the Mandecheurl barley was
teated at the College for the first
time. After proving its worth In an
experimental way it was distributed
throughout Ontario, through the me-
dium of the Experimental Union, and
became generally grown over the pro-
vince. This wart a decided Improve-
ment over the foruter variety.
The 0. A. C. No. 21 barley orig-
inated at the Ontario Agricultural
College from a single.seed in 1903.
As the then popular Mandscheuri was
an improvement over the Common
Six -rowed so tide 0. A. C. No. 21 18
an improvement over the Mand-
seheuri. Largely through the intro-
duction of these varieties the average
yield per acre of barley has increased
20 per cent. In the last eighteen
years as compared with the eighteen
years previeds.
Spring Wheat, -The Wild Coosa
variety of spring wheat which has
been grown itt Ontario for many
years Is a high yielder of grain. It
Is, however, a durum wheat, and .1s
more suitable for the manufacture of
macaroni than for bread production.
The Marquis variety of spring
wheat is a hybrid which originated
at the Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, from crossing the Calcutta
Hard Red and the Red Fife. It is
not only a good yielder, but it is a
wheat of excellent quality for bread
production, and one which is increas-
ing stthstantially in the Western
Provinces and to Ontario. In the
Experiments at Guelph it occupies
fourth place in average yield per acre
of twelve varieties of spring wheat
grown for flour production over a
period of'hi: yearn.
Winter Wheat. -The Dawson's
Golden Chaff variety of winter wheat
was started from a single seed, in
1881. and has been grown exten-
sively throughout Ontario for many
years. It has a stiff straw, beardless
head, red chaff, and white grain of
only medium quality for bread pro-
duction. It is, however, a high yielder
and has been very pogular with the
farmers of Ontario.
The 0. A. C. No. 104 variety of
winter wheat originated at the On-
tario Agricultural College as a cross
between the Dawson's Golden Chaff
and the Bulgarian varieties. It pos-
sesses a tall comparatively stiff straw,
bearded head, red chaff and red grain
of good quality. It is a cicerone
grower, and In the experiments at
Guelph has given a larger yield per
acre and has kilted out less In the
winter than either of Its parents. In
the co-operative experiments through-
out Ontario for the last four years
it has proved decidedly the most pop-
ular of the five varieties tested, and
has headed the Bet In yield per acre
In each of these years.
It is generally recognized that In
a comparatively new country such as
Ontario there is a tendency for a
gradual decrease in crop production
per acre owing to the natural deple-
tion of soil fertility. It is Interest-
ing and suggestive to note, however,
that according to the best Informs,
Hon obtainable there has been an
actual Increase of from ten to twenty
per cent. in yield per dare of three
of the principal farm crops of Ontario
for the laid eighteen years as com-
pared with 4he previous period of
eighteen years. This increase in yield
per acre for these three crops, reck-
oned at market prices. has made an
estimated increase in money value of
over one hundred and thirty million
dollars. -Prot. C. A. Zavitz, 0. A.
College, tuelph.
To be tired after exertion is natu-
ral. Rest and food restore the body
to normal after such fatigue. But to
be tired all the time is a symptom of
an anaemic condition that will not be
corrected until -the blood is built ap.
Such an anaemic condition is so
gradual in its approach and generally
so lacking in acute pains that it is
often difficult -to persuade the suffer-
er to do anything for it. But it la
not a condition that corrects itself.
If the blood is not enriched the
trouble will increase. The nerves
will be undernourished and neuralgic
pains will follow. Digestive disturb-
ances often result from thin blood
sleep is disturbed and a general
breakdown may occur.
Mr. Wilson Johnson, Nineveh, N. S.
says: "A few years ago my system
was in a badly run down condition.
My nerves seemed always on edge,
and I found myself so weak that I
could hardly do any work. I suffered
from headaches and from pains in
the back and under the shoulders,
and was often so sleepless at night
that when morning came I felt as
tired as when I went to bed. I was
taking medicine all the time, but it
was doing me no good. Then I read
the teatimonial of a man whose con-
dition had been similar to mine, and
who strongly recommended Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills. I decided to give
thia medicine a fair trial, and when
I had taken six boxes I felt much bet-
ter. I continued taking the pills
until I had taken aix more boxes, and
I can only nay I am glad I did so, as I
am now enjoying the best of health,
and I advise ail men who feel run
down to give these pills a good trial,"
Dr. Wi7lfams' Pink Pills can be ob-
tained from any dealer in medicine
or by mailxes for6a�t 50 cents a box or six
