In this way the fruit is disposed of

There is no refrigerator service at the

Among the advantages of the plan

apples have this year been bhippad on
ilia co-operative plan. Nut only have
the yr:c.•s been better, but more fruit
has been sold than would have been

the early varieties of apples were put
upon the market in good condition.
Just as goon its the: Duchess, for in-

Mr. Sherrington, by this system in-
ereast 'tee general returns received
from cur fruit crop, the producer of
poor fruit will almost certainly be
led to rmprovc the quality of his out-
put. If he will not do this, he will
have to get out of the association.
In the course of the discussion, Mr.
MacKinnon said that, in his opinion.
no system Of co-operation would be
complete which did not start at the
beginning and introduce uniform
methods in the selection of varieties,
in planting and top -grafting, in or-
chard -management, 'including spray-
ing, and even in the buy roti of sup-
plies.
TILE CHIEF WEEDS IN CLOVER
AND 'TXiWOTlI5.
The spread o;: noxious weeds can be
attributed to no single cause. They
seems to be naturalle,adapted to rapid
spreading, and besides there are var-
ious natural and artificial agencies
which aid in their dissemination. Not
the least important among these ag-
encies is the seed grain trade. Al-
mosi• every 'farmer purchases yearly
seed of grain pr grasses and clovers
wit1 little thought of introducing
weed seeds in this way. As a matter
otf fact, however, he seldom gets seed
perfectly free from weed seed of some
kind. Occasionally these are not par-
ticularly injurious, but not infre-
quently they are most undesirable,
and, being introduced unconsciously,
gain' a strong foothold before, their
presence is suspected. In this eon-
nection some particulars of the anal-
ysis of seeds from: the Department of
Agriculture at Ottawa should be, of
interest, as they show to }what extent
these conditions prevail.
Of over two Hundred samples of
timothy analyzed. during 1903 only
pour had no weed seeds in them,, in
the others over thirty different kinds
of `geed seeds were represented. Of
thcsc'`,Cinquefoil, • eeppergrass, Sheep
Sorrel, 'Rib rass, False, Flax, Lamb's
quarters, Carlota Thistle and White
Cuckle were most commonly present,
often at the rate of several thousand
per pound. In red clever and alsike,
of each of which there were several
hundred samples analyzed, there were
upwards of forty spec.es of weed seeds,
those being commonest whose size ap-
proximated that of the clover seed.
Thus in red clover were commonly
found curled dock, Canada thistle,
white cockle, and rib grass; while in
alsike, false flax, white cockle, sheep
sorrel, cinquefoil and black medick
were prevalent.
The primary cause for ;this pre-
vailing condition is aro ',doubt the
growth of weeds with the crop for
seed, and the tendency of farmers to
buy improperly cleaned seeds because
they are cheaper than, and to a, cas-
ual examiner, equally as good as dear-
er grades. It is usually safe to re-
gard cheep seed as of inferior qual-
ity and on this account to avoid buy-
ing it.
Dodder was present in twelve sam-
pies cf red clover at an average rate
of 418 seeds per pound; this is con-
siderably 'more than was The case a
year ago and was no doubt! duo to
more aced Tieing imported from the
south, where this parasite thrives
much better than here. The analysis
of several samples obtained from Chili
shoved that dodder is a. very com-
mon impurity in seed from that coun-
try, tee sample having upwards of
700 seed per pound and ethers sotre-,
what less. There is no probability
of Canada ever having to import seed
from Chili, buf as both countries have
e common market for their surplus
supply, the presence t1 this impur-
ity in the Chilian seed should afford
the Canadian produet a considerable
advantage. Were it not for thiscir-
cumstnnce the Chilian red plover
seed would prove a dangerous eompet-
as it is well entered, plump and
vitality, and with few other
able impurities.

CROP ESTIMATE REDUCED.

'(Toeontc, Globe.)
Dr. W. Elliott, Commissioner of
Agriculture for the Northwest Terri-
tories, is 'in the city looking into
the system bf reg;istraL onNf births,
deaths and marriages in Ontario.
Dr 'Elliott says that the crop esti:
mate for the Territories for July had
to be reduced about 5 per cent., on
account of the prolonged rainy' wea-
ther that followed. The beet sugar
business at Raymond, Alberta, was
very successful this year. Laver 1,-
000 tons bf sugar were produced.
There would bave'been much mare
than this had net come volunteer
wheat sprung up meld choked much
of the beet crop. The irrigation ditch
in Alberta is now about 130 miles
long, with laterals making it up to
-100 miles. Speaking of 'Prof. W. H;
Coard's agricultural college at Re-
gina, Dr. Elliott said that Prof. Cowed
still kept his business' oanneetion: se-
cret, not caring to disclose the name
of the philanthropist supporting it.
He, however, was $ping well at the
college, and had expressed the hope
that at the end of two years the Gov-
ernment would take over the •

Max O'Rell's Adder.
During his tour through Australia
many years ago death was once close
upon Max O'Rell, as it seemed to him
at the time. Lying in bead one night in
a bush hostelry, worried by mosquitoes
and thinking of the snakes against
which he had been warned, he became
aware of the presence alongside of him
of a cold, treacherous snake, probably
a death adder, as it was only about
three feet long. Death from the bite
of this playful adder Is rapid and pain-
less, and the Frenchman recorded aft-
erward his reflection that it was bet-
ter perhaps to die that way than by
gout or rheumatism. After an hour of
agony, however, he slipped out of bed,
struck a light and went about the room
searching for the walking stick he had
carried especially for defense against
reptiles. After a weary and nervous
hunt he found it at last among the dis-
ordered bedclothes.

Trouble on Saturday.
All day Saturday the boilers had
been giving the firemen no little
amount of trouble. There was e.
foaming and turbulent action which
caused uneasiness, and about 8
o'clock in 'the evening Col. Young
was notified! The colonel personally
inspected the boilers, and a broken
elbow was found on a feed pipe,
which it wap thought was to blame.
A plumber, Wm. Greene of East Lon-
don, was tient for, " the barracks
plumber for some reason or other
not being lied. Greene put on a
new elbow, ut made no inspection of
the boilers, of having been instruc-
ted to do s , he says. The foaming
ceased when the repairs were made
until about nidnight, when the boil-
ers again befan to act queerly. The
two firemen, Privates Walter and
Thomas Womack, again reported the
matter to C rporal Burnett, who be-
came uneasy, and who in turn report-
ed to Quarermaster-Sergeant Dun-
levy, The tvee officers and the two
privates them made a thorough in-
spection of the boilers, but in the
meantime tht foaming had ceased.
The four me then turned to leave
the boiler roam, Burnett a little in
the rear, and remarking: "It looks
as though e

ploded. Tho en who were not over

directions. B rnett was thrown into
the coal bun in the next room, the
other three 1 ing knocked down or
