Fernier', like others, are prone t41 put off te-dny what they elm do to- morrow, and, as a result, often neg- lect to get seed grain ready for -'ow- ing until the fine days of early spring call them to the lead. Much time may be saved and the rush of spring work lightened if seed is pre- pared in the late months of winter for spring sowing. This early seed preparation will likely result also in the seed of different crops being sown at the right -time to insure the greatest yields. Use the Very Best Beed. The first step in ood seed selec- tion should be the •btalning of the very best variety for sowing, a var- iety whose yield is high and whose quality of grain is good., Varieties' of oats, such as 0.A.9. No. 72, Banner, and O.A.C. No. 3; varieties of bar- ley, such as O.A.C. No. 21; varieties of spring wheat, such as Marquis, Red Fife, and Wild Goosd• varieties of spring rye, such as O.A.L. No. 61; varieties of field peas, such as Cana- dian Beauty, Arthur, Potter, and Golden Vine; varieties of field beans, such as the Common White Pea bean; 'varieties of buckwheat, such as Rye, and Silver Hull, are all well suited to Ontario conditions. Grain May Be Poor for Seed But Good for Feed. Small, shrunken, or broken seed has a feeding value pearly equal to that of large, plump, sound seed. Seed selection experiments conduct-, ed at the 0.

In Eastern Canada, including On- tario and he ces eastward, there are tappr xima�tely 20,761,000 acres under cultivation, of which 9,- -686,000 ;-686,000 acres are in hay. The live stock in these provinces can produce during the winter months only about fifty million tone of manure, an tinsufficient to cover the en - ability along political lines, respond- that one year's seed selection of seed ded: "Huh!

In eiery single in - !Miss McPhail, who is a very Scotch along certain lines, said to herself: "I will show him whether I can or not." So she started a study of the tariff. This aroused- her interest in Canadian politics. The sequel was her nomination as U F O candidate in Southeast Grey stance, the large plump seed produc- ed a greater yield of grain per acre than the medium sized, small, shrunken, broken, or split seed. In the- average of four classes of grain, the large plump seed surpassed the small plump seed in yield of grain per acre by 28 per cent. ana, in the and her election as the first woman 1 average of three classes of grain, M. P. in Canada. ( the plump seed gave an average yield over the shrunken, broken, or split seed of 64 per cent. In this experi- ment equal numbers of seeds were used in each selection. Large plump seed produced a larger, more vigor�- pus, and more productive plant than that produced from small plump, shrunken, broken, or split seed. It should be remembered too that where only the largest and plumpest grains are used for seed, the very nature of the selection eliminates the majority of the weed seeds which may have been in the grain before selection. When the farmer has obtained the best variety and sown only the best seed of this variety, he has placed the very safest insurance possible on the future of his crops.—W. J. Squir- rels, O. A. College, Guelph. THE OLDEST WHITE PRISONER The oldest white prisoner in the State Penitentiary at Greenville, S.C., said he wants to live and die in his cage and has protested against his own pardon because he says he is thirty years behind the times, and if freed would not know what to do. "It is better for me that I live and die here," he said. "Superintendent Sanders and other members of the guard are my friends, too. What would I do if I left?" He was sen- tenced to life imprisonment in 1894 for the murder of Robert Cope, who was the treasurer of Orangeburg County. He escaped and went to the Philippines, where he served an en- listment in the United States Cavalry. tire area under cultivation when ap- in Georgia and 'brought Later he came back and was arrested ht to Columbia plied in any ordinary length of rota- 15 g tion. For this reason, extensive again. He steadfastly denies he kill - areas, estimated between one-quarter ed Cope. and one-half the entire area, never receive any application of manure whatever. Such land is _usually far cenuoved from the f ar buildings; ldin gs; it is left in hay and pasture for years, then ploughed, planted to oats and seeded down to hay again. Cas- ual observation, as well as the fore- going statistics, confirm the wide- spread extent of this practice. Now, what is the best method of bandling such land'? It is useless to say "apply manure"" 'because the farmer has already applied elsewhere all the manure that has been pro- duced. As the land is usually far from"the buildings and often poorly wined, it would be unwise to plant earn or roots and to include it in tie rotation used on the land near the buildings. The present practice le ,more preferable than that, but 1s the present practice the best possible one? There is .much reason to think, - from the results of definite experi- nsents, that an 'improvement can be made in the present practice which will result in increased profits. One improvement which is widely known but poorly fotllowel, is surface drain- age. The removal of surface water, by care in plowing and attention to outlets, materially improves the tilth of the soil and, in some years, great- ly increases the crop yield. Another improvement which .may be adopted in Many districts is the growing of alfalfa. If a few pounds of alfalfa are 'included in the ordinary hay mix- ture, one can learn at small expense whether alfalfa will grow profitably. If it will :grow, ,it will be found to mlaterially increase the yield of hay. Ilinally, as there is not t enough feral manure. commercial fertilizers may be used. At the 'Centrad Experimental Farm, Ottawa, commercial fertilizers have been used 1nr co ipariaon with farm manure and unirda,rured land for over ten years. The results 'have shown a large profit accompanying the use of the commercial feidi'lizera. In a four-year rotation of s, oatel clover hay and timsorbhy application of fertilizers were as fo Lowe: On the mrangels, 800 pounds. +supetrpboephate, 76 pounds muris*le of potash and 100 pounds nitrate of sods; on each of the oats, clover, and timothy crops 100 pounds of nitrate ori' "oda per acre were applied. For the flve-yrelar perm, from 1916 to 10W the tort& east of these fertil- ' -berg on four acres of land, was $142,112; the value of the increased CHAMPION STALLION DEAD_ The death of the famous stallion, "Paramount Flashwood," owned by George Rupp, of Lampman, Sask., is a loss that will be regretted by horse- men throughout the province and Canada 'generally. He was a five- year-old, and as a three-year-old, he won the grand championship for the Belgian breed at Waterloo Fair, Iowa, in 1919. He was looked upon as the best Belgian horse on the American continent. He was sired by the unbeaten champion "Farceur," who was sold at auction for $47,50. When a three-year-old, $M,500 was offered for "Flashwood," but his owner would not part with him. WHY BEAUTY FADES A Condition Due Entirely to Poor, Watery Blood. BUYING A FARM. it II I II�III ;Iii IIID Sonie Very Practical and Timely Hints to Would-be Purchasers of Fares Property. The most important decision that a farmer is called on to make is the selection of a farm on which to live and earn a living. The judgment used in making the selection of a farm may make or break a man, may tie him up for life to poverty or to wealth. In districts where the soil is uniformly good over a large area and where prosperity is evident on all sides the task is not so great and risky. But in districts where var- ious types and grades of soil exist a poor farm and a good farm may lie side by side. The good farm will no doubt help to sell the poor one, which, by the way, is always for sale. See Your Prospective Farm In July. Farm purchases are most fre- quently made during the winter when the opportunity for close exam- ination is least. This should not be so. If farms were purchased on the basis of the crop showing during the month of July there would be fewer 1 regrets. If a man contemplates pur- chasing a farm in a district where ho has lived for a long period, he will know the soil and district con- ditions. Knowing conditions the pur- chaser will hand over his money with his eyes wide open; if he does not know conditions in the district he will be handing over his money with his eyes closed and roust depend up- on the honesty of some one• else. Purchasers of farms are advised to live and work in the district of their choice for at least a year before in- vesting i}eavily.—L. Stevenson, Sec- retary Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. The girl who returns home from', school or from work thoroughly tired out will be fortunate if she escapers a physical breakdown, because this get- ting tired ad easily is probably the first warning aynlptom of a thinning blood that must not be disregarded if her health is to be preserved. When the blood becomes thin and impure the patient becomes pale, hag- gard and angular. She not on'ly tires out easily but suffers from headadhes, palpitation of the heart, dizzy spells and a loss of appetite. This condi- tion will go from bad to worse, if prompt steps are not taken to increase and enrich the blood supply. To make the rich, red blood that brings the glow of health, no other medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If given a fair trial their 'use brings rosy cheeks, bright eyes, a 'good ap- petite and good spirits. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink 'Pills have made thousands of pale, languid girls active and strong. On the first sign of poor, thin blood mother should insist upon heir daughters taking a fair comate of these pills. They will not only re- ttttore health, but will save further doctor bilis.

A rainy day spent .in putting that mowing machine, hay loader, binder and other harvesting machinery into shape is a mighty good investment of time. This is more true this year than usual for two reasons — first, labor is much scarcer, and therefore the lose of any time wasted v51i1 be greater, mil, secondly, the parts may be harder to get than usual,- due to a shortage of supplies in many lines. Fore -thought may save some after - worries. Millet is a splendid smother crop and weed seed destroyer. especially when cut thickly for hay and out early.
