There is no use of debating t`^
grain crops can only be realized af-
ter the best preparation of the soil
on which it is sown. Therefore,
why use poor eeed ?
Many varieties and strains of gratin
have been tested out at our aericui --
ural colleges and experimental farms
and stations, sufficient at least to
give one a fair idea of those var-
ieties best etudied to the avenge

sequently, the first move should be
to obtain, either from farm bulletins
or by writing the nearest colleges or

quantity will- be suffieient wen
properly cleaned, to sow the area re-
quired for 1929.

ditions, namely, Victory and Banner,

spectively. Alaska oats are also re-
commended le districts where a very
short season is experienced, as it will
ripen in about ninety days and has
given a fair average yield of 62.13
bushels over a period of four yeare.
In barley, (two rowed), Chae-
lotten No. 60 and Duckbill have
proven to be our best yielders, yield-
ing an average of 44.76 and 33.49

ter being badly scalded when she
fell into pail of hot mash which Mr.

to feed the hens.
The father had set the pail down
for a moment while he went to get a

In 1913 the Canadian Pacific
Railway's tax bill was $1,382,000; in
1927 it was $7,368,000, an increase
of 432 per cent, working out at
$20,160 per day, 3740 per hour, or
$14 per minute.

Running down a timber wolf with
a railway locomotive was the un-
usual sport tried near North Bay
recently when a C.P.R. light engine
bagged a 90 pound specimen.
Engineer M. Lafontasie on rounding
a curve saw the wolf on the tracks s
short distance ahead, and opening
the throttle, succeeded in atriking
the beast with the pilot steps.
Conductor W. G, Watling ran back
and finished off the animal with s
poker. A bounty is paid on wolf
skins by the government as the
animals are a menace to game and
livestock.
