There is every indication that the price for Ontario wheat will steadily advance, The introduction of blend- ed flours has met with complete sno- cees wherever Ontario blended flours have been placed on sale -in Toronto for instance and also in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island -they have re- captured the market from "Western hard patent flours" to a considerable extent and the good work goes on. The only drawback to a more sweep- ing victory is a lack of wheat, Blend- ed floors are prinoipally Ontario fall wheat with a little Manitoba wheat to add the necessary amount of gluten (or strength). This combination makes the "big loaf of bread of the Western flours -and at the same time, has the delicate flavor of our best Ontario flours. With the sale of these blended flours constantly increasing, it would seem that there was good money for our farmers in Ontario wheat. However, it is the soundest kind of business sense for every farmer, stockman and dairyman in the province to buy blend- ed flours. There are enough uaere of flour among our agricultural popula- tion to keep the mills busy the year round, And if the head of every house- hold would see that only' blended Sours Were bought for home baking, there Would be an enormous increase in the sale of these flours, and a correspond- ing increase in the demand for Ontario wheat. Our farmers would then make the money instead of the wheat growers and millers out west. Our stockmen and dairymen will share in the good fortune too. With our millers having a good run every day, there will be an abundance of bran and 'shorts. Instead of paying about twice as much as these feed stare are worth, prices would come down to normal and there would be money In dairying and stookraising. Ab it is, the farmers and millets out West sent to be getting all the profit, for, of course, our dairymen and others using large iivantities of bran and Omuta, Base to pay the freight on suoh stuffs from illanitOba and Alberta,.

It is often said that a good beginning is half the battle, and the Canadian Sportsman's magazine, "Rod and Gun and Motor Sports in Canada," pnbliebed by W. ,J. Tae lor, at Woodstock, Ont.. makes a splendid beginning for the New Year, It is crowded with stories of in - tercet to sportsmen, including notes on the last season's sport in several Pro. viuoes, which must cause hunters to go over their own experiences once more and see if they agree with those given. The most important subject of the Internat. ional Control of the Great Lake Fisher, les is dealt with in an address given by Mr. A. Kelly Evans at a conference of the Amertoan Fisheries Society. Stories of deer hunting m Quebec and Ontario, duck hunting in Manitoba and Seskat- ohewan, exploring trips in the northern country, with fisherman's yarns and mountain climbing reminiscences are but samples of the budget of good things awaiting the 'readers of this excellent magazine. Every lover of outdoor life must find something to appeal to Me par- ticular and favorite recreation, and to the whole of them must come home the spirit of the well written and effective story of "Nature's Elixir --audit is not work 1" This is the spirit pervading the whole-tbe spirit of freedom and stren- none exertion whioh brings with it health and happiness, though in the conventions of modern civilization it is not classed as "work." Often indeed, as every sportsman knows, it is work of the hard- est possible character, but when it is a change from ordinary occupations, let the labor be what it may, so long as it is performed' in the ripen air and without restraint, it is not, in the ordinary aoceplance of the word, "work." With such a promising beginning the New Year holds the strongest possibilities for the further success of this favorite Can- adian magazine, whose special work it has been to make the advantages of the Dominion in the region• of sport known to oar people and through them to the whole world. DANCER OF CATARRH:. Unless Properly Treated with Hyornei, Becomes' Serious. Catarrh troubles are far more danger- ous than they seem at first thought. If you have catarrh, there is an irri- tated state of the mucous membrane and weakened tissues which afford an ideal lodgment and culture Medium for disease germs, especially those of con- su mption. You shound get cured as quickly. as possible before any dangerous germs that you may breathe lodge on the die. ' eased tissues and work dietrnotion in throat and lungs. The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by the direct method, breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated sir treatment does not drug and derange the stomaoh, but is breathed in, directly following and destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled, The unusual way in which Hyomel is sold by Walton MoKibbon is the beet evidence of his confidence in the treat, ment and should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties. He agrees to refund the purchase price to anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit, and yon de not risk a oent in testing its healing virtues. A complete outfit coats but $1.00 if it helps you, nota cent if it does not do all that it is claimed for it.

Whoever has had the privilege of lying at full length on some mossy overhanging bank while watching a large tzout in liis lair perceives that a true figure has yet to be drawn of him. Even photography can give no hint of the wavy circles from the spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely athwart the broad back, of the perpet- ual fanning of the pectoral fins, of the capacious gills opening and closing, the half open round mouth, the luminous brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibra- tion of the powerful tail, nor can pen adequately describe the startling sud dennesst of the dart et some idle fly touching the surface, the quick return to the old position and the resumption of the poise with head elevated at a 'slight angle, pectorals all tremulous and floating watery circles emanating from every slight notion of the body. It is also worth while to watch a trout rush four feet up a perpendicular fall of water, pause, Tremble violently all over and in a moment throw himself clear of the stream and fall into the basin above at au elevation of about three feet more. -Arthur 1'.
