There is no free land for settlers in the United States, so that without a bonus Canada has much greater inducements to offer for the farming class. It is for this class that we profess to pay bonuses, but the bonus goes to all classes, even to those who ought not to be admitted at all, and to many who find their way to the United Stites. The amount paid in, bonuses is more "than most people think. In the nine months from March, 1007, to the end of the year no less than $123,070 was paid, or at the rate of $104,000 a year.

Premier Whitney has Issued a state- ment regarding the guarantee of the bonds of the Canadian Northern Rail- way, He states what wo all know, that if Mr. McKay and the Opposition had seen very much to complain about they could have kept the Legislature debating the measure until to -day, had they wanted to, instead of not even calling a division and allowing it to pass unanimously. Among other things the premier points out that "When we came into power we found the guarantee in existence of $20,000 a mite for 208 miles, $5,800,000, But no terminals had been provided for, A short line from the main line to the Key Inlet on Georgian Bay—the main port to which business would tomo to the railway from the Northwest—had not been provided for, nor had one or other short spur lines." Further the Premier says :—"It was not a grant or guarantee to a specula- tive railway enterprise, or something which might come into being in the future. It was a straight business transaction between two parties already interested in a business way. We found the credit of the province pledged with a security by way of mortgage which, under some circum- stances would be practically valueless. Speaking for myself, I would rather own the short line, 30 miles long, lead- ing into the Hutton Mine, than all the rest of the, railway. "So, finding the province already in the position mentioned, and likely to have its security dwindle in value, we agreed to the further guarantee, of bonds to the extent I have mentioned, and will receive in return a mortgage covering the entire line, terminals, short lines and all ; in this way rehabilitating and snaking certain the financial position of the province with regard to this railway. "Should it ever come to pass that the province he compelled to take over ,this property as mortgages, it will have a property costing a , great deal more than the province would have to pay for it, and complete in every respect, instead of a mere mort- gage on part of a property which would be practically useless. What, more need be said 2" THE SCHOOLS AND AGRICULTURE. A successful meeting of the Ontario Educational Association was held recently, and among the subjects dis- cussed was the relation of the Schools to Agriculture. An important paper was given in the Trustees' section by Professor McCready of the Ontario Agricultural College on "How the Rural Schools can be helped by the Ontario Agricultural College," Prof. McCready stated the chief plans to training the teachers, offer- ing the assistance of College instruc- tors to teachers at their local conven- tions, putting a picture of the College into every country school, helping classes of senior pupils to a profitable day's sight-seeing at the College, extending the services and hospitality of the College to rural trustees in con- ferences and conventions, organizing short courses of instruction for. Public School inspectors, giving short courses of instruction to .science teachers in High Schools, putting College publica- tions into school libraries, incorporat- ing into the school work some of the experiments conducted by the Experi- mental Union, having •teachers and pupils use the College as a correspon • dence school and having senior pupils 'come into touch with College instruc- tors in surveying for drainage or lec- turing at Farmers' Institute meet- ings. Speaking on the introduction of agriculture into the rural schools, the professor said that Old Ontario's agri- culture must be improved, and that New Ontario's agriculture must be along safe lines. Workers on the basis industry of agriculture were edu- cated in the rural schools, but, because the teachers were net trained and the rural population was more or less indifferent to progress, the rural schools were not doing as well as they might in educating Ontario youth in terms of future life activities: w� Oa ti 00 es ea a' Opo an Oa"' WOO IOU 0 8 EO ; ""' a t3 U O iJ 0 0 fi p 8SOLig. i I s 000a Q; : g BOARD OF DIRECTORS : • Hon.

II. Uaehborn, heho Place, Out, To grow onions successfully, the first thing to do is to get the soil pro- perly lnanured and thoroughly work- ed. The best method of treating the soil is to spread the manure in the winter or early spring .so that the spring rains can wash the fertilizing elements into the soil. It is a mistake to change onion ground every year, Onion ground. should receive about 25 loads of well - rotted barnyard manure to the acre every year; then, by the end of the second or third year, the ground will be in first-class condition for onions. If the ground is changed every year, it will not be in such good, condition. I have grown onions on the same piece of ground for the last five years, and had a better crop last year than ever. As soon as the ground is dry enough plow down the dressing and work it well with a disc or aeme harrow and allow it to stand for about a week, then work it again, and this working will kill any weeds that may have started. Many growers believe in plowing the ground in the fall, as onions require a hard bottom, but I find that I get just as good a crop by plowing in the spring. Onions are cultivated mostly by hand, and the ground will naturally form a hard bottom. KILL THE MAGGOTS. It is well to put a little over -slacked lime and salt on the ground every spring or fall, to prevent maggots from working. 'When sowing the seed I mixed a little powdered sulphur and salt with it; that also acts as a preventive against maggots. Care should be taken not to get the ground too rich with nitrogen, as this causes "thick -necks" or scallions. The best thing to do with thick -necks is to bunch and sell them for green onions. Danvers Yellow Globe is the best variety of onion for winter keeping or for shipping. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as possible, in drills fourteen inches apart at the rate of four pounds to the acre. r t_t Have You Bronchial Catarrh ?. It is easily recognized by the dry cough and hoarseness. Not difficult to cure with Catarrhozone as Mr. Xavier Bahin of River Capalin, Qua., proved. "No one could suffer from Bronchitis more than I did. I had a hard hacking cough that caused me great pain. My throat was hoarse, and I had great distress in my chest. Catarrhozone reached the sore spots and gave immediate relief. Since using it I have not had a single attack." Every physician who is ask- ed about Catarrhozone says it is a sure cure—so will you if you try it. Sold everywhere, 25c and $1.

Barley is a ready -money crop that too few Cana. dian farmers grow. Try it—you'll be glad you did. los ONION CULTURE. II. Uaehborn, heho Place, Out, To grow onions successfully, the first thing to do is to get the soil pro- perly lnanured and thoroughly work- ed. The best method of treating the soil is to spread the manure in the winter or early spring .so that the spring rains can wash the fertilizing elements into the soil. It is a mistake to change onion ground every year, Onion ground. should receive about 25 loads of well - rotted barnyard manure to the acre every year; then, by the end of the second or third year, the ground will be in first-class condition for onions. If the ground is changed every year, it will not be in such good, condition. I have grown onions on the same piece of ground for the last five years, and had a better crop last year than ever. As soon as the ground is dry enough plow down the dressing and work it well with a disc or aeme harrow and allow it to stand for about a week, then work it again, and this working will kill any weeds that may have started. Many growers believe in plowing the ground in the fall, as onions require a hard bottom, but I find that I get just as good a crop by plowing in the spring. Onions are cultivated mostly by hand, and the ground will naturally form a hard bottom. KILL THE MAGGOTS. It is well to put a little over -slacked lime and salt on the ground every spring or fall, to prevent maggots from working. 'When sowing the seed I mixed a little powdered sulphur and salt with it; that also acts as a preventive against maggots. Care should be taken not to get the ground too rich with nitrogen, as this causes "thick -necks" or scallions. The best thing to do with thick -necks is to bunch and sell them for green onions. Danvers Yellow Globe is the best variety of onion for winter keeping or for shipping. The seed should be sown as early in the spring as possible, in drills fourteen inches apart at the rate of four pounds to the acre. r t_t Have You Bronchial Catarrh ?. It is easily recognized by the dry cough and hoarseness. Not difficult to cure with Catarrhozone as Mr. Xavier Bahin of River Capalin, Qua., proved. "No one could suffer from Bronchitis more than I did. I had a hard hacking cough that caused me great pain. My throat was hoarse, and I had great distress in my chest. Catarrhozone reached the sore spots and gave immediate relief. Since using it I have not had a single attack." Every physician who is ask- ed about Catarrhozone says it is a sure cure—so will you if you try it. Sold everywhere, 25c and $1.
