This formed Worth' capital when he set forth on his ca reer. He engineered a series of sue cessful thefts in the United State where his ability became know through the underworld and in polic circles, and then established himeel in England. He set up a luxuriou apartment in Piccadilly which becam the rendeavous of the leading inter national creeks of England and th continent. Some of them Worth fin anted; others he directed, while wi others he formed partnerships. Hi particular intimates were America thieves. Howard Adams, Joe Chap man, Little Joe Elliott and Charge Becker, and it was because of th misfortune that overwhelmed one o this gang that Worth stole the fain ous picture for a motive perhaps unique in criminal history. The gang was engaged in forging bank notes, and when the police seemed about to make arrests, all but Worth fled. The leader knew that he could not be convicted. The others lacked his confidence. They fled to Turkey, got into trouble there, and were sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. After they had been held about a year, Worth devised a scheme for their escape, and went to Constantinople where he put it into execution, All got free exeep't Chatyinan, but the other three, when making their way through Asia Minor fell into the hands of Greek bandits who held them for ransom. Worth was able to get the money, but the operation crippled him financially, and it was said that for a time he was even more desperate than usual. Then one of the crowd was arrested in London and the French police ask- ed for hie extradition. Worth knew that he would be convicted, so he de- sired to get him out on hail, after which he would go into hiding. The difficulty was that the English law would not accept cash bail. A bonds- man had to be a reputable property holder. It was while worth was t Hing over this problem in his mind that he was walking along Bond Street with Jack Phillips, a 'notorious English burglar. They were attracted by a crowd entering the Agnew Art Gal- lery, and they found that a famous Gainsborough painting was being ex- hibited. It had been bought a few days before ria a record-breakingprice, $50,000, and was causing a sensation. Immediately the idea oc- curred to Worth that he would steal the picture, and thus force the Ag - news into going bail for his friend. A few nights later, helped by a fog, he mounted on the shoulders of his friend Phillips, while Joe Phillips acted as lookout than, and entered a window on the first floor. He drop- ped inside, cut the canvas out of the frame, wrapped it up and got out again. There was of course a tre- mendous outcry when the theft was discovered, but before Worth could send his emissary to the Agnews, his lawyer discovered an error in the extradition papers of his friend and in a stroke the motive for stealing the painting had been removed. A' little later Elliott, returning to the United States, was imprisoned, and eouglit to gain his liberty by making a deal for the restoration of the painting, but nothing came of it.

HURON OLD BOYS' ANNUAL MEETING The 24th annual meeting of the .Huron Old Boys' Association, of To- ronto, was held in one of the parlors of the Y. M. C. A., on Friday evening, and was the largest atte ed annual tweeting that has been held or years. Sir. J. A. McLaren, Pre. ent, occu- pied the chair. A report of the year's transactions showed the As- soeiation to be in a good condition, the report of Treasurer John Robert- son showing a bank balance. Mr. Thomas McGillicuddy, well 'known as a former Huronian, and now, holding a responsible position in the Department of Agriculture, gave an interesting address on "Rough Dia- monds in Huron," which was both retrospective and introspective, and 'humorous. A suggestion was made that in some way a memorial or test- imonial should be made that would at all times commemorate the memory of those whose pioneer life had made the eonntry what it'now is.. Mr. William Houston, a native of the County of Bruce, but for years prominent in Toronto educational matters, as well as being one of the 'editors of the Globe, also gave an interesting address. Mr. McLaren, referring to the pleasures he bad enjoyed in his con- -rection with the Association as its President, (a position he had filled most acceptably to the members), asked to be relieved owing to the press of other matters. The following officers were elected for the current year: Honorary Presidents, General Wil- liam Otter, Sir John Willison and J. A, McLaren; President, Mr. W. Proudfoot; Vice -Presidents, Mrs. W. Ferguson, Mrs. R. C. King and Mrs. J. S. Timmins; Secretary, E. Floody; Assistant Secretary, Miss M. S. Flynn; Financial Secretary, Mr. J. A.

CANADA GROWS SEED Canadian seed growers have age demonstrated their ability, to prod wheat of outstanding merit by many wine` made at the rece Hay as rain Show at the Twen fourth nual international Li Stock Exposition recently held Chicago. In the class of hard red sprin wheat, open to all of North Americ Canada succeeded, from a field of 9 exhibits, in winning 15 out of 2 prizes, including the grand champion ship which 'went to Major Strange o Fenn, Alberta, with Marquis variet Major Strange, a prominent 'and sue cessful member of the Canadian See Growers' Association, also won firs prize in white field peas. Secon prize for hard wheat went to Montana grower who had obtaine his seed from Indian Head, Sask Third to twelth prizes inclusive wer awarded to Canadian seed grower with the exception only of the sixt and eighth, which Montana claimed All but two of the prize winnin samples including the first and sec ond, were of the Marquis variety; thexceptions were Ruby and Kitchener At least the first three prize winnihB samples at the International Hay an Grain Show, since, and including it inception in 1919, have been of th Marquis variety. Repeating his victory of 1922, Mr Biglands, of Lacombe, Alberta, won the championship for white oats a- gainst all North America. In the regional contest 28 out of the 35 prizes offered for that section com- prising Canada and the oat growing states, west of Chicago, were won by Canadian seed growers located chiefly in Alberta. Among the various winnings for barb exhibits was that of George Avery, of Kelso, Sask., who caoeured first in the two -rowed class. MI the six -rowed class, Mr. Avery took a second prize. In the Trebi, which included the large kernelled barleys grown under irrigation,Canadian growers, took third, fifth and tenth prizes. /Only three exhibits from Canada competed in the white field pea di- vision and they stood first, third and fourth. Among other winnings were first and eighth places for red clover seed; second, sixth and tenth for Alsike seed; second, fourth and fifth for sweet clover seed; fourth and sixth for alsike; eighth and twelth for Timothy; second place for rye; first, eight and 11th and 13th prizes for Flint corn, all grown in south-western Ontario. Much attention was attracted by the exhibit put on by the Provincial Department of Agriculture of Alber- ta which consisted of a collection of very creditable ears of perfectly ma- tured corn. It was a decided revela- tion to the many Americans who have long been under the impression that Western Canada was well beyond the northern limit of the corn belt, in uce the rat ty- ve at g a, 1 5 f y a t d a e • h g e d e FEEDING THE WEANING FOAL. The most important period of a horse's life is the time from weaning until the foal is a year old. The amount and quality of feed fed dur- ing this period will largely determine his future developement. Many po- tential draft horses are so checked and stunted in growth from a lack of proper feed and care Rs colts that they never attain the size which would raise them from a low-priced, nondescript chunk into a high-priced, profitable drafter. The first step is to get it feeding regularly on grain before weaning it from the mare. A mixture of oats and bran are the best feeds to use for this purpose. When the foal is feed- ing regularly it may be weaned with- out danger of a severe cheek in its growth which will always occur if weaned without being taught to feed first. If two foals can be put to- gether in a roomy loose -box they will fret less than if kept by themselves. The best feeds to use are oats, pre- ferably rolled, bran, a little linseed meal, add good clean, well -cured al- falfa ha . The concentrates are readily procurable anywhere but the alfalfa will not be available over as wide a range. It is, however, more valuable than any other roughage and horse breeders would be well ad- vised to make a special effort to grow enough of this feed for their foals and also the brood mares,.jf possible. Other good quality hays rank next to alfalfa in value as roughage and good results can' also be obtained from them. Feed should be given three times a day at a nearly as possible regular intervals and the foals should be wat- ered before feeding. The foal is easily taught to drink hefore feeding and once the habit is formed no fur- ther trouble will be experienced. Salt should be available at all times. A small block of rock salt in the corner of the manger is the most satisfact- ory method of supplying it. The amount of feed necessary will vary with different animals. A foal will very seldom eat more than it can properly a similate, differing in thin point from older horses. Reasonably generous feeding will be amply re- paid in the extra growth and develop- ment.

Apples, pears, plume and peaches can alt be thinned to advantage when the crop is beawy. Some growers might question the advisability of thinning plums, and there are sea- sons, of couree, when the price of this fruit Is so low that obviously thinning would not pay. Such seasons, however, cannot be fore- casted, and it would seem wise, therefore, to take the chance and thin the fruit if the set is very heavy. In thinning apples, do the work when the young fruits are about the sire of walns ta.' Generally leave only one fruit to a spur and spaced about 4 to 6 inches apart. All fruits will be removed from some spurs. All of the fruits on the underelde of the branch can usually be removed to advantage. Remove all injured fruits, leaving only perfect speci- mens. Pears should be thinned about the same as apples. The inclination of the average worker will be to leave twlee as much fruit as is ad- visable. See that sufficient Is re- moved. Peaches should be spaced about four inches apart. Again do the work while the fruit is quite small, as otherwise an unnecessary drama is put upon the tree. Plums should be thinned out sufficiently e0 that at maturity individual fruits will no more than touch each other.—E. F. Palmer, Hort. Exp. Station, Vine- a.nd Stal ion. Co-operation. In co-operation lies the solution of the farmer's problem. They should he co-workers, not competitors. In helping each other they will help themselves. If our farmers will get together, work together, and play to- gether they soon can be in a position to receive their just compensation along with the producers of other world commodities, and that happy day will be hastened when farm life will offer all the pleasures and re- wards that so justly belong to the moat essential workers In the world.
