Alexander '1'illneh Galt, considered
as 1 I'':.:her of c onfedelailon, has a
background vert different from nt:t-
r outstanding figures who aesern-

Mr. Galt was born in London, Eng-
land, in 1817, His father was very
wealthy and was a succeeeful author
:Cad social leader of the clay. In 1 8-
:I the loather indu ed several mem-
bers of the London Ssock Exchange
to take shares in a great land spec-

was to acquire waste and forest land,
and sell then to persons who woul l
develop the land under She guidance
of the company. The father rune

,bout three million acres of land.
Ile directed the laying out of Guelph
and spent Honey so laviehly that the
company were soon int difficulties.
The father was recalled mind declared

PROPER METHOD TO
ELIMINATE WEEDS
`,even Suggestions Offered for Con-
sideration of Fanners Fighting
Nuisance—Prevention is Better
Than Cure in All Cases Whore
Weeds are Concerned,
Like most other ill- common to
tie, world, the precept ";>revctitiun is
lie ter than curd' may be well ap-
clied to the problem of controlling
w..eds. Some farmers have become
eau•eleas with regard to the menace
of weeds, but the importance of )tee0-
ing them under strict control is not
to be overlooked. Patience and al-
most centimes work is necessary
to rid land of weeds and th.c utmost
care must be exercised to prevent
the introduction of new ones.
FOLLOW ROLES
The following suggestion briefly
auto up a few of the measures
w:lieh, if. it were possible to follow
them to the letter, would go a great
distance in the solution of this great
problem:
Thoroughly work the soil in the
spring before planting corn or other
cultivated crops.
Sow only grain and other farm
seeds.
Sow the corn crop fairly heavy
and harrow two or three times be-
fore it is 6 inches in height•.
Prevent weeds from seeding in
waste places, along fences and road-
sides, Stone piles in the field should
be removed when other work is not
pressing as bad weeds frequently
grow beside theta.
Thoroughly cultivate and where
necessary hoe during the growing
season, corn, potatoes, ro.ots and like
crops.
Pull, stow or dig out small patches
of weeds. Serious infestations can
be prevented by rentovcmig individual
weeds or bunches of weeds as soon
as they appear.
Cut fox hay, clover, cereals or
other crops which have become foul.
with weeds, before the weeds have
formed seeds,
Thoroughly heat before apkiying
all manure from animals which have
paten feed containing weodeeecds,
Beep tri, the fertility of the soil,
and sow good seed so that crops will
be vigorous and they will smother
HON. A. T. GALT
both Upper and Lower Canada, He
mllso restored the British America
Lend Company to order and divi-
dends, He entered politics in 1549
but soon retired owing to the desire
of directing all his energies to tete
promotion of Early Canadian rail-
ways. Again his astute business mind
resulted in an increased fortune and
he again entered politics in 1853 and
five years later he became Mini ver
of Finance and introduced the decim-
al system of currency into Canada.
He gave his entire energy to putting
the public funds in order and when
ho was chosen to represent Upper
Canada at Confederation confer-
ence, he was the "big business elan"
whose opinion was eagerly sought on
all questions of future feleral fin-
ance. He had urged the idea of Con-
federation upon the British enemies
ties several years before the first
conference was called. Ile wag
knighted in 1860 and became- the
first High Conmlisioner for Canada
to- Great Britain,
out or hold in check many weeds
that would otherwise be very
troublesome,
I
Plow and Wok grain stubble,
timothy or other hay sod immedi-
ately after removing the crop and
thereby promote conditions suitable
to the germination of many annuli
weed seeds. Subsequent cultivations
should be given during the -fall to
kill the weed seedin,gs. For the
control of coact grass and ether
perennial plants with an un.ler-
grounc} root -stalk, disk three times
after plowing at week intervals and
then use the cultivator weekly to
bring the roots to the surface.
For extremely weedy fields aum-
merfallow a whole season, or sum-
meifallow until late 'in Jane and,
then sow buckwheat at 2 to 3
bushels per titre as a smother crop,

quarters of the globe, and tieet ''x011
one was of a distinct type, had cer-
tain distinguisbing characl rie,t,r.1
peculiar to itself and the country in
which it originated. Then the thought
flashed through his mind:
„There is no Canadian breed of
domestic poultry — none that pos-
sesses exactly the qualities and
characteristics most suited to this
country—why not produce one?"
From that moment the idea took
possession of him, and he pondered
over it throughout the hours which
were devoted to his work amongst
the poultry, devoting every spars'
moment to the study of the rules
governing scientific breeding, and
deciding on the exact type of bird
which should he essentially Cana-
dian in its build, color, habits and
character—which should be equally
food Inc table purposes and for egg
production.
Experience had taught him that
the birds, especially the melee, suf-
fered intensely during the Canadian
winter through the fr:•zing of their
combs. Brother Wilfrid, therefore,
made up his mind lirat of all to
eliminate the comb, or to products a
very small, closely sett one, with
proportionate wattles. Since has own
choice as to color lay in the: direc-
tion of white, Ile also determined
that his new breed should be of tht't
hue. A combie'ss, pure white bird,
therefore, of strong, compact build,
which should be substantial enough
for food a.nd, at the same time, a
prolific winter layer, hardy and en-
c rgetic, able to withstand the rigors
of winter and the heat of suulnmc•r
with equal serenity was the ideal Ito
set before ltintself. The results of
his effort wore to be seen at Ottawa
during the International Pouiaty
Congress, where 100 of the best spe-
cimens of the "Chantecler" breed of
Canadian poultry were on exhibition.
The Mendelian theory of heredity
and reproduction being now univers-
ally accepted, Brother Wilfrid
worked on those lines in the selection
and crossing of his birds, It was In
the spring of 1908 that he first put
his scheme into operation, mating a
dark Cornish rooster with a White
Leghorn hen, and a Rhodes Island Red
Rooster with a White Wyandotte
hen, It having been proved that the
progeny' usually take their shape
front the father and their color from
time mother, The result of these first
matings was that all the hen birds
hatched were white, though of rather
a clingy shade; only one male bird
from the first crossing was used for
extending the experiment Which,
when mated with selected white pul-
lets from the second crorluia, pro-
duced an arch—color,, p n.r.
For two years III ..her Wilfrid
cnntintoul on these lines and then
introduced a third breed, mating a
Rrhite Plytuouth Rork with those of
the pullets he had pr'•duced which
most nearly apprezchc'd the ideal he
was aiming at. miring the succeed-
ing years he continued in the same
way, eliminating with groat care all
poor layers and under -sized speci-
mens. After five years' labor he
realized that he was nearing success.
The pure white color had beeoune,
fixed; there was a great increase in
egg production, In many of the birds
of both sexes comb and wattles were
Considerably reduced in size; there
was more regularity in shape and
the breed was improving in vigor and
hardiness,
From then until the present day
the work has gone steadily forward,
and the tiny plant in which the pa-
tient monk carried nut his initial
experiments has developed into a
magnificent poultry farm covering
twenty -orae acres, wherein thousands
of "Chantecler" birds are bred and
housed annually,
The name "Chantecler" was chos-
en, as suitable for the breed, from
Rostand's play, wherein the famous
rooster 'Turned out the su.n" every
morning by his resonant crowing. It
ig composed of two French words
meaning "clear singing," and also
occurs in Chaucer's Canterbury
Tales attached to a renowned bird,
The "Chantecler" Breeders Asso-
ciation was formed in Montreal on
March 1, 1918, and is a flourishing
and expanding organization. The
birds were dist exhibited In 1919;
since' then they have appeared at
shows In Canada and the 'United
States, always being received with
admiration and invariably adding
new honors to the list already won.
The breed was "hall -marked" eethe
Exhibition held at Ottawa in Jan-
uary, 1921, in connection with the
Winter Fair, after which it was
honol,ed by admission to the standard

The Carpet- agger
vs.
The Local, .,sinter
Many business men, when considering the cost of
any particular job of printing, look only at the small
sum they may be able to save at the time on any ord-
er. They fail to ask themselves what the carpet -bag-
ger leaves with them throughout the year as compared
with the local publisher and members of hie staff. He
also seems to forget that if he and his fellow business
men would get more of 'their printing requirements
done in their home town the publisher might be able
to employ additional help, which would still further
swell the amount of money to be spent in the home
town.
Always remember 1 A dollar spent with a firm in
a distant town is gone forever so far as its service to
the community is concerned. A dollar spent with
other firms in the hod a town stays there and performs
many good services in its own community. Got your
