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.

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. ••••••1111•11, 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 heights to the ocean to. gather sea food The little story comae in a letter, welch tells just what a hunting country it is. 'While my outfit were riding along I sent the boy, with the man I had engaged On the outskirts of a growth of live cake (this in a deep canon) and the two other men to go to the other side while I took the meddle coitrao threngh the oaks, \there ran a lovely mountain stream. I had got in nearly midway when my horse pricked up his ears and oemraeueed scenting and I knew some wild eetimel was there. "I had a Mauser pistol on a stock and I mode ready. afy horse had etoPPod, but I urged him on and a little than showed me a• eigbt I shall never forgot. "At a pool drinking, was a doe end not. few feet away wile a very Iarge fawn and a little further were three bucks and Iwo more still further on, which I could not determine at ogee. I had not time, because when I glanced first at the doe I saw on a ledge above what I topk to be a calf, or some light yellosv animal. "My second look i,00k in the object and I saw it ramietain lion making ready to spring on tbe doe when the chance offe1ed hlo 14.41 seen the bue.ke and knew his finish diould he make the attack.

The quail are by the hundred's of thousands, and cotton tails and jacks,too I have arranged a coyote hunt on horse- back for to -morrow. 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.
