the aloors returning the compliment.
Tho French were greatly surprised at
the manner in evhieh the Moors stood
the artillery fire, sitting their horses
within 200 metres of the guns.
Meanwhile at about 430 p.m., General
Drude, hearing thee the force was heav-
ily engaged, sent out three competitors
of Tirailleurs and a squadron of Ohas-
sews d'Afrique and znitrailleuses. This
fuzee came into action on the ridge to
the right of the square, compelling the
Moors to retire from that side.
The Retirement.
At five o'clock there was a general re-
tirement of the enemy on all sides under
the shrapnel fire. Now cisme the oppor-
tunity of the "Gowns" who pursued the
Moors, routing the lurking marksmen
out from the broken ground, where they
were searching for one of their number
who had been killed. The French remain-
ed ou tho ground until the enemy lawl
vanished, then the square broke up into
sections and retired in successive lines
on to the camp.
The total French loss in this smart
little fight was three killed and nine
wounded, and 15 horses wounded, which,
considering the severity of the fire, was
remarkably light.
It is impossible to estimate the Arab
casualties, but they were probably not
severe, on account of the wide front
and consequent wide diffusion of the fire
of the small French force.
It is difficult to say if the French re-
connaissance anticipated a steneral at-
tack on the camp, or if tho Moors, tak-
ing advantage of the usual hour of the
French advance, had deliberately fallen
on the entail party.
The number of Moors engaged Is plac-
ed at between 1,500 and 2,000, but with-
out doubt a far large number carried
rifles than hitherto.
Great sorrow reigns to -day in the camp
of the "Goums," for they lost two kill-
ed and several horses and men wounded.
They found the body of a 'man, whose
horse fell, entangling him. Be was un-
able to riso, and was overtaken by the

THE WORK OF CORN BREEDING,
As Conducted by the Canadian Seed Growers
Association,
(Htract from the last Annual Report of
the Seeretary.)
The work of corn }needing in Canada,
though limited chiefly to Southern On -
tunic), hes made material advance during
the past year. Not only has the number
of growers largely increased, but tlie gen-
eral publie is beginning to realize more
then ever before something of the nature
and importance of this partieular branch
of work, and as a result the demand for
specially grown seed corn has increased.
Keeping in touch with the individual
growers, we have been able to notice A
eubsta,ntial growth of intolligent inter-
est on their part, until we .now feel as-
sured of the success of the work and
what it will mean to the Province. More-
over, the actual information that has
mho back to us from the work carried
on by the different growers, has added
very materially to our present know). -
edge of the problems of cora breeding,
and we are thus enabled to work to
much better purpose.
The system of corn breeding which.
has been adopted by tho Association and
which may be found in the second An-
nual Report, page 59, under the section
entitled 'The Row System,' has for its
basis the ear-rew test. Each' row of
fifty or more hills in the plot is planted.
with corn from a separate ear, which ar-
rangement gives each ear an opportunity
to show the breeding which is behind it
and to which it owes ita excellence. The
amazing variation in the productive cap-
acity and vigor of each ear, as revealed
by this system when carefully carried
out, has gone far to promote a greater
interest in the work. In all the plots
operated with according to this system,
a decided variation was found to exist
between the different TOWS in respect
to vigor of growth, yield, etc. By *his
arrangement, the top-notches—the best
rows—may be located, and the best
plants within these best rows chosen as
mother plants frora'which to select the
seed ears for the plot of the following
year.
Since the Dent varieties cannot be
matured to good advantage in the more
northern dairy disericts, it is necessary
to send south for the seed, and during
the past year there lees beep an inereesed
demand for seed which is of known origin
and which hes received special care ac-
cording to tho regulations of out Asso-
ciation. Where corn is grown for grain
in the cooler regions of the north, the
early maturing Flint varieties are
grown. Of this class of corn we now
have several varieties represented, al-
though the King Philip, Longfellow,
Compton's Early, and Salzer's North Da-
kota, aro moat popular, While earlier
strains of the Dent varieties might be
developed for the shorter seasons, yet
this practice has not been recommended,
since early corn is believed to be an-
tagonistic to large yields. This in the
single-earad Dent varieties is particle-
powswarsmommommemogior
larly noticeable. Vint corn, on the
other hand, may easily produce two and
three ears per etaUg; and, as a
o hill of three litstike of Flint *ern may
be made to closely approaeli in actual
yield of grein A- 11111 01 three stalk* of
the single -ear -bearing Dent types. Are
tording to the C'onnecticut A.gricultival
Nxperinient !Station, furthermore, the
feeding value of IMO corn was found to
be higher than that of the Dents, While
We have not advised that the Plint vOn
eties supplant the Deut varieties, yet
we have endeavored to point out that
each has its own particular placa. and
that each is capable of being improved
very materially. Our Faint corn may be
classified into three types. Theeo are
the long eight -rowed type, the ehort
eight -rowed type, and the twelve -rowed
typo. "Mere are many variatiens within
each of these types as regarde amp° 4n4
color of ear and munberof rows Of ker.
nets.
A careful study of the corn crop, in
Cannda seems to demonstrate that wher-
ever corn is to be improved it is always
advisable to adopt a type whirl oan, be
relied upon to mature thoroughly in the
district. Otherwise the seed will have to
be often changed as a result of non -
maturity of the crop, which feet leaves
no chance to improve the yarieter by
means of selection.
Corn in Western Canada.
Within the past few years the farmers
of the west have been studying the corn
question with a great deal of interest.
Although we do not anticipate that the
west will ever becturie a great corn coun-
try, yet we believe that the time is not
Lan distant when it will pay the farmer
to grow more or less corm Tlia Experi-
mental Farms at Brandon and Indian
Head have for years demonstrated the
possibilitiea of growing corn as a fodder
crop, while many farmers have likewise
verified this. While many good types
now exist in that part of Canada, and
while much has been written recently on
this subject, yet we beliete that our
experience in some of the older Province
should prove helpful to the Westerner,
although practically nothing has been
done in the west with this orop immedi-
ately under the direction of the Assoda-
tion.
Since Western. Canacla comes within
the northern limit In which corn can be
grown in America, and since the grow-
ing season is very abort, an early Flint
variety must be looked for. e Experience
has shown that by careful work these
early varieties may be made to produee
<mops which pay well for the time and
labor expended upon them. It is a corn.
mon practice to take some of the earlier
Dont varieties and endeavor to adapt
them to the conditions in the north. We
believe this to be wrong, and advise
them of our members in the west who
desire to do something along this line
to begin with corn grown as far north
as possible, and endeavor to improve
upon this. A large number of stalks,
each bearing at least two smaller ,ears,
should be looked for per acre, itustead
of trying to develop the size of the ear.

GOOD HUNTING INDEED.
Meeting of Deer, Mountain Lion and a
Man at a. Spring.
Up from EsnenivJa. de Todos Santos,
Lower California. comes it hunting tale
of the kind that makes the sportsman
tingle. It is merely a simple incident of
the old line of marc.h from the ocean
back 200 miles to the mountains, marked
years ago by the aboriginals, wlio pick-
ed out the higheet places for their voy-
aging.
It was it fish trail. That is to say, the
Indians went from their raountain

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.
Mildew, if not of too long standing,
can be removed by the use of raw tomato
and ealt. Rub the stains with tomato,
sprinkle thickly with salt and lay in the
sun. It may /Ye necessary to repeat the
process twO or three times.
To free ce room •of bedbugs, dose the
room tightly and burn sulphur. There is
another remedy which watinever known
to fail. Put three ounces of eorreelve
sublimate in one -quart of alcohol, then
with a feather put in every crevice in the
room.
To clean a carpet without taking up
take a cup half full of cornmeal mixed
with salt and sweep well when spots are
left; then take oxgall or ammonia. Both
are very good things to make the carpet
as bright as a new one.
Here is a. way to obtain a fire for cook-
ing in the et:tinnier time without- the Use
of coal. Obtain a soft brick, saturate it
with kerosene, place in stove and light
same and you will obtain a fine fire
which will last long enough to cook a
dinner at a moderate cost.
The fine ash found over the oven of a
cook stove in Which wood is used furnishes
(when used dry) a silver polish equal to
any on the market.
Ranee a small horseshoe magnet fast-
ened to the an of it tape of ribbon ot
sufficient 1enth so that it can ble
dropped bo the floor to plok up ecissors
and needles.
A newly imported wood, used for high-
class cabinet rued piano work, Is the Tas-
manian myrtle. It is a o tech pink color,
moderately hard, and very close gmined.
Turn your coffee mill down very tight-
ly, fill the hopper with granulated sugar,
grind it through once or twice, or even
three times, and you have an excellent
powdered sugar.
To remove paint from glass, Wet the
window with either eold or warm water
and rub a coin oVer it. A half a dollar
would be boat and will remove paint
without scratching glass.
