The annual distribution of samples of some of the best varieties of seed grain to farmers, for test in different parts of the Dominion, has. during the past ten years done much to direct attention to the importance of sowing the best sorts of seed, and in many sections of the country this introduc- tion of new sorts has resulted in a de cided improvement in the yield and quality of the grain produced Near ly all the varieties sent out arc grown on the Experimental Farms and aro selected from among those which, after being submitted to careful and repeated tests, have produced the largest average crops of grain of gocd quality. Having received instructions from the Honourable Minister of Agricul- ture to continue this useful work to make another distribution during the coming season, I shall be pleased to receive applications from all who de- sire samples. As heretofore, one sam- ple of one variety only can be sent to each applicant, and the distribution will be' confined to samples of wheat, oats, barley, field pease, Indian corn and potatoes. Among the varieties of grain to be distributed during the corning season will be some of the more promising of Stratford likely have an en - the new cross -bred sorts which have tinily new civic building, the old walls being little good. The municipal debt of Mitchell at the end of this year will be $35,000, oceans when parties receive samples bearing interest at 4 per cont, of varieties they already have, it I House of Refuge Notes. would be well tor each person apply- ing to name two or three sorts which he would prefer, arranging them in the order of preference ; when, in case the stock of the first named variety is exhausted, the second or third could be substituted. As it is proposed to only send these samples on personal, single application, it is important that every farmer who desires a sample should apply for himself. Lists of names will not be considered. All letters addressed to the Central Farm at Ottawa may be sent free of post- age, and the samples weighing three pounds each will be sent free to the applicants, through the mail. The distribution will begin early in De ceinber, and as the stock is limited and s',-t,'t housekeeping' in her own behaif. l i ng m'doni,t wee one of the most, en_ the applications will' be filled. in the --New Era. l,loystblc ones et the season. order in which theg are received, those sent in early will have the ad- vantage. Applications may, however, be sent in at any time before the lit of March ; but after that date the list will be cloeed so as to ensure the send- ing out of all the samples in time for early sowing.
