To show what can be done, the Commission has selected six ferule in different parts of Canada, with the purpose of showing what the possi- bilities of Canadian farms are, —It required a forest of 1600 trees last year to supply the paper needed to print a lot of trashy books, the ag- gregate value of which was not worth a thicket of cactus. 'And that was not all the waste that went into the bad books. They devoured time ; they polluted morals ; they corrupted taste. Another argument for the conserva- tion of our forests. * —In the annual report of births, marriages and deaths, the Registrar - General makes the suggestion that licenses to marry be advertised in a local newspaper before the ceremony could be performed, as a check upon clandestine marriages, Good idea, and make the advertising fee easy— say a dollar. Any chap that wants to get married won't begrudge a dollar, * * * —The finance minister has decided not to issue silver dollars for the pre- sent. The late government passed an act authorizing their issue, After looking into the situation Hon. W. T. White has decided that the time is not opportune for the issue. Coinage of five and ten dollar pieces will be pro- ceeded with though they are not ex- pected to replace paper money to any extent. * * * —The Ontario Government has in- troduced changes in the law to the effect that; will now be illegal to store liquor in local option territory. This has been done in the past and has proved a barrier to law enforcement. Another clause makes it possible to suspend licenses when public works are in progress, and Tizne checks must not be cashed in bar -rooms. Drunks must now divulge the source of supply, or be imprisoned. —The Presbyterian Union commit- tee regard the opposition to Church Union too pronounced to recommend to the General Assemby that the Union take place. On the other hand, the vote favorable was strong enough to lead to the hope that the desired end may be 'reached before many years pass, and that in the meantime, a larger measure of co-operation should be encouraged and practised. The General Assembly will meet in June, * * * —One sad fact at least is forcing it- self upon the attention of Canadian people, and that is the increase of the number of weak-minded people. In Toronto alone there is said to be at least 025 children under 14 years of age and 500 over that age, mentally deficient. The multiplication of such persons is bringing about a constant- ly increasing list 9f evils in its train. It is evident that some steps must be taken to remove more of these to asy- lums, or otherwise care for them. * * *. -Last week marked the final closing of the famous Newmarket canal. Since the government a few months ago decided to abandon 'the work as useless, engineers in charge of it have been restoring highways at Holland Landing which were cut in two by the canal, and these have been carried across the locks by the construction of new approaches. The expenditure on the canal was approximately three- quarters of a million dollars, and the bigger part of the work was com- pleted. Steps have been taken to put the locks, etc., in as good condition as possible, so that if the work is ever renewed the previous expenditure would not be entirely lost. It is very improbable, however, that the scheme will ever be gone ahead with, owing to the lack of water for the canal. —With the leader of the Opposition in Ontario shouting "Banish the Bar" as his policy, and the Ontario Govern- merit preparing legislation to abolish treating, surely there will be many dry and thirsty ones in the near future. Now that leaders of political parties are both on the war path, something is likely to happen. But the thirsty ones console themselves With the thought that there will be timefor many drinks before Leader Rowell will have the opportunity to early ont his platforrn. And evert before Premier Whitney Oen bring his anti -treating legislation into effect., there will be yet time to slake the thirst write often, %Vith the Glovern- tnent and Opposition both pledged to radical temperance reform, and Local Option territory inereas ng yearly, it eg#ins to look like a sweep of victory f' r the temperance forces in the pro - Vince of OAtario before many years pass.

L► lllarl,tiaiitenl druggist, Free Assistance In Drainage,. During the exceptionally dry sea - sou of 1011, land that was underdrain. ed produced an the average about $10 50 more per acre than land that was drained, accordingto data col- lected by the Department of Physics at the Ontario .Agricultural College,. Reports were received from a large number of farmers, crf whortt twenty- five were able to give definite figures on yields ou drained and undrained land. 'Three of the number said they saw no difference, but all the others reported increases, Eleven counties were represented in the reports, feoro Durham in the east to Essex in the west. The value of increases, includ- ing straw, was figured at Uutobar,. 1011., prices, and March, 1012, prices. The former showed an average of $15,07 per acre and the latter $17 01l, and both together an average of $16 - 50. The three who reported no in- crease were counted in obtaining the averages, In wet seasons the results are even more marked, but even at $16 50 per acre, drains more than pay for them- selves in two years. The O. A. C. is again renewing its effort of assistance to farmers in lay- ing out their drainage systems. The Department of Physics has a special staff of Drainage Advisers for this work. There is no charge for the ser- vices of these men, the only outlay to the farmer being the travelling ex- penses, which are Iow. As the rail- way fare is only one cent a mile for this work, and as several surveys are always made on one trip the expenses are divided among the several parties concerned. Anyone wishing to have a drainage survey made should drop a card to the Department of Physics, O. A. C. Guelph, where upon regular application form will be sent, and later on one of the Department's Drainage Advisors will make the survey.

Just note how excel- lent these persons proved it in widely different directions. Sore HEEL —Mrs. C. A. Campbell, of Powassan, Ont., writes :—"One of my heels was very badly blistered by a pair of new shoes, and the poisonous dye from my stocking got into it, and made a bad sore, For a week I could not put on a shoe. and suffered great pain. I applied Zam-Buk, and in a few days it drew the poison out and healed the wound," BALD OUT. --ML's. J. Viright of Onon- daga, Ont., writes :---'Zam-Buk healed a bad cut which I sustained. I was hurrying across my yard one day when I slipped and fell heavily, my knee striking a sharp stone. At the moment I did not realize how badly I was hurt, but I found .1 had a bad cut about two inches long, very jagged and very deen. We bathed the cut and applied Zim-Buk. This stopped the sntalting very quickly, and in a few days it bad healed the wound completely. For cuts and bruises Zara-Buk b a splendid remedy." ECZEMA.

WATCH YOUR SEED CORN. ►•onstant Care Required to Improve It by Selection and Breeding. It is not enough to start with good seed corn. The strain must not only be maintained; it should be improved by selectioia Lind bleeding, says the Farm and ltanch. The best way to do this is to select a suitable piece of land in a favorable part of the farm where pollen from other varieties of corn cannot easily be carried by the wind and plant a breeding plat. Suppose you have ten ears of corn for seed, This should be the best that can be obtained. Prepare the land well and lay off ten rows. Take enough from each ear to plant a row in the seed pint. Take the best ker- nels from the center of the ear to plant and keep the remainder of the seed for planting the general crop. Number the rows from 1 to 10. Give the seed plat good cultivation. See that it does not suffer for work. Take careful notes upon the seasons, the time and manner of planting and cultivation, when first tassels appear, when silks are dead, when in roasting ear and finally when mature. These facts will be needed when you begin your seed plat next 'year and all suc- ceeding years. Notice the plants carefully when tas- seling to see that barren plants are promptly removed. This is very Im- portant, because you cannot afford to have the pollen from these barren plants propagate their kind. Just before the tassels unfold from the sheath detassel one-half of every row. For instance, suppose the direc- tion of the rows are north and south, then detassel the south end of row No. 1 and the north end of row No. 2, 0 VA 1414 4 :iie0.oti ". SECTION or GOOD BACK FOR DRYING sew CORN. ;From bulletin United States department of agriculture.) the south end of No. 3 and the north end of No. 4. Continue thus until the tassels are removed from one-half of each row. This will make it probable that the silks (pistils) on one half of each row will receive enough pollen to become self fertile and the other half receive its pollen from the ad- joining row which has not been detas- seled and become cross fertilized. In general close inbreeding is not desirable, but it may be expedient for a year or two to six the type. At any event, one-half of the plants should have a chance to receive the pollen from their own tassels. When the corn has matured fully and before gathering time go over the breeding plat and make a critical ex- amination of the entire plants --stalk, blades and ear. Note the size and height of plants, the character ot growth, the vigor, earliness and matu- rity, size, shape and general maturity of the entire plant and size, shape and gereeral appearance of the ears. If you wait until gathering time you cannot determine the character of the entire plant. Mark the desirable plants by tying a red string around the ear. When ready, to gather, take the ears and note the row from which they are taken. Husk the ears, and from the niuMber take the best for the seed plat the follow- ing year. The general crop may be planted from the remaining ears. Continue this careful method of seed breeding several years, and you will have a strain of corn that is desirable. Your neighbors will probably be sur- prised at your increase of yield and be willing to pay you a liberal price for excellent seed corn. Poultry Pickings. '' To keep a hen in good health sh needs nearly seven times more fresh air in proportion to her size than does the horse. Fowls throw off much of the waste of the body through the lungs. As they do not sweat in the sense that other animals do, they breathe when heated several times faster than sweat- ing animals. 1llost people think a pond or creel;: is necessary for the successful raising qt geese, but this is not absolutely necc"t- sary, though it would seem to be moi natural for them to have a pond or' creek to swIm in. They must have plenty of pure water to drink and will grow and breed just as well without a swimming pool as with one. It Is true that the cost oP raising hens and producing eggs has increased, but the proportion Is very small when. compared with the increased value of the output, The cost of production has become about 50 per cent larger, while the growth of receipts per dozen eggs is between 150 and 250 per cent and the increase in the rate for chick= ens and fowls le about 100 per event. One poultry raiser told another that she was very foolish to set pullets' eggs, as they wouldn't hatch. ',The lat., ter asked the writer about it. 'We an- swered that there was no truth in the statement, for pullets' eggs will hatch as well as hetes' eggs, all other things being equal. But It is not advhsable to restrict the settings to pullets' eggs exclusively, but use hens' eggs as well. The progeny from pullets is never so large or hardy as fronn mature hens; therefore the eggs from the latter are preferable ifor eltyng purposes. ad— Electrie Restorer or Men Phos hotiol restores everyricrve ht the body ...�_.. p to its proper tent ion ; restores viii and vitality.
