In the tie, box in which he kept his valuables, cheek by jowl with gilt-edged securities, 'Govern- ment' bonds and that sort of thing, was the most ludicrous lot of go d and oil stock, all engrossed an im- pressive certificates, with equally impressive signatures and seals, and 'worth just about as 'mucl1 as the paper they were printed on. How any, body over the age of childhood could for one moment have been taken in by the absurd claims of these wildcat And companies remains a puzzle, r yet, here was an apparently intelli- gent than of business falling for the same worm-eaten old trick that bad done duty, in ane form or another, for countless generations of confid- ence men and suckers. Was Bartnun right, or does a large section of matt - kind really like being fooled every so often ? Probably at the bottom of a good deal of this sort of folly lies the very human desire to get rich quick, Once in a long while someone does become uttexpectedty rich; stumble upon a gold mine or its equivalent. Of course we all know for one that does attain wealth in that delightfully haphazard way, many tnillions plod along in the usual 'bread -and -buttery manner, but there is always the off chance that we may have been born under a Lucky star ---so we takeho a ng shot at a doubtful oil prospect, hop- ing, well perhaps not even hoping, rather pretending to hope, that it may surprise its promoters by turning out e genuine gusher. A story told the other day perhaps illustrates the coritical vagaries of Weir, and perhaps also explains why men will persist itt taking' such ridic- ulously long chances in investments, that is to say, will occasionally do so. A man with several friends had been induced some year, ago, to put a good deal of money into an oil pros- pect in Western Canada. Oil had been really struck in the vicinity, and it was quite possible that any 'boning might bring a rich return. However, it didn't. The engineer who had in- duced these men to go into the thing, meet then disconsolately in a Winni- peg hotel. He was very apologetic, and they were rather sulky. Finally, he turned around and said to them:. "Look here you fellows, I'ni very sor- ry. I or-ry.'I did all this it perfectly good faith but it turned out badly. Now 1 have just learned of something in oil that looks remarkably promising. A close friend of aline writes me that there is an oil field' opening up in Texas that promises wonderful re- turns. will be glad to let ouinon to s. I Y this, if only to make up for what you lost in the West.' One can imagine, of course, how the disillusioned Can- adians treated this proposal. The funny part of the story is that this happened at the beginning of the great Texas oil boom, and if they had accepted the offer they would have got their moneyback ten times over. Alt of which, however, does not suggest the desirability of taking a flyer at a doubtful proposition, an the off chance that it may turn out very much better than it looks.—Ex. she past few days have been ideal Canadian winter weather, being clear and very cold at night with bright sunshine during the day.

This enormous debt increase is even more important than the deficit, While Hon.

It is essential in sowing Sudan Grass that it he not sown until the soil is warm. We have had the best results from sowing this crop just after the corn has been seeded. When sown for hay or pasture, Sudan Grass is usually sown broadcast or in close drills.' 25 to 20 pounds per acre should be sown when Sudan Grass is soave alone, and when -used In mixtures for pasture about 15 pounds per acre l suwtt. duuttu Grass should be cut for hay when the heads are in full tiloont, and utay bo cured in much the same manner as timothy. This crop has been little grown for silage either in the United States or Canada. The reasons for this being that it is a better hay and pasture than n pillage plant and that Indian Dorn la a larger Yielder of silage than Sudan Grass. We have had different classes of sorghum under exP erinat ` t' C•uelph . fortwenty-eight Y. twent -ef ht ears and Sudan Grass for the . past eight years, ';tip to the pres- ent time we have had no trouble from sorghum poisoning in the feed- ing of Sudan Gratis `or the other sorghains to stock.
