CULTIVATION OF CORN.
Tests in the Different Provinces

The Agricultural, Gazette for
February is full of important mat-
ter relating to the cultivation of
corn. "By the aid of acien0," the
has
Gazette says, "great progress
been made in extending and im-
proving the corn crop in Canada."
In thirty years the yield has in-
creased from a little over nine mil-
lion bushels to nearly seventeen
million. In 1893 the yield of fod-
der eorn was 1,049,524 tone. Twenty
years later, or in 1913, it was
'2,616,300 tons. Increase and im-
provement were noticeable in al-
most every province. Relative to
the argument sometimes advanced
that Canada is situated too far
north for the production of corn,
Professor M. G. Matte, the Domin-
ion Agrostologiet, says that while
there are districts in Canada
where Indian corn could and
should be grown to the greatest
advantage, there are also thou-
sands of square miles whore pro-
fitable growing would be very diffi-
cult. After stating that the qual-
ity of the ensilage produced by a
certain variety of corn should be
the factor which should guide the
farmer in bis choice of seed, the
Professor says that the experience
gained by the Experimental Farms
demonstrates the wisdom of increas-
ing the acreage of early varieties
rather than of depending on large
yielding late sorts for tih.e desired
tonnage.

Probably no army is being tend-
ed with such care in the matter of
drinking water as the British Ex-
peditionary Force. Even ;the Ger-

inasmuch as typhoid and other
kindred epidemics, which are in-
varialbly traceable to impure drink-
ing water, appear to have develop-
ed among the Teuton hosts.
The British (military authorities
have not failed to profit fromthe
lessons of the South African War
where ;the water question at ona
time reached an acute stage. In
that campaign the men who fell in
battle were completely outnumber-

risk is incurred. It is the zone in
which fighting is taking place that
the trials and dangers arise. In

be +drauwn from a stream. The wa-
ter passes through suitable medi-
ums, such as charcoal, gravel, and
sand, which are disposed in layers
