Many good crops have been destroyed or materially curtailedin this way. A very simple remedy has been told to us which is 'well worth trying. Damp the seed thoroughly with water just before sowing and then sprinkle it liberally with dry sulphur and mix the gleed well so that all; the grains will have eome. of the sulphetr adhering to them. Seeds treated in .this way will not be touched by birds, ,Mr. John Oldfield; of Tucker- rnith, adopted Cabe plan for two seasons in succession ,and his.. corn -was never troubled by birds, whereas. before that be found ahem an ,$ntolerable nuisance. Good News for Agricultural Societies._ —The Government grant to the Fall 'Pairs of the .province will be paid in full this year. Announcement to thie ef- fect was ,made la, few days ago by - the. Department of ,Agriculture, and letters sent cart to the secretaries of all the fair boards informing them of the Gov-- ernment's declsitn. The paymesit of the grants in .full was_ foreshadowed in the Rouse during abe session by Zion. Jas. Duff, who pointed out that when the decision to cut /the grants in half was taken conditions generally were such as to make •the reduction necessary, but that since that time conditions have improved. This statement was followed 'by theplacing of the full amount of the grants, $75,000, in the main ee- timates. Road and .Bridge Committee. — The Road and Bridge Committee of the =County Council , met in Wingham on Thursday of last week, with represent- atives of Bruce Council, to consider the -condition of the roadway on the bound- ary between Turnlerry and Cuirass. This runs through a swamp for some 'thirty rods. And near the centre about 150 feet t�oft the road has sunk till near- ly 75 feet is ,.under water a foot deep. An iron rod 'sunk in this Mound only mucky soil to the depth of -28 feet. Some years ago a. large drain was made from this •place south through Turn - berry to the Maitland River, but the drain has not been maintained and is now very little use in carrying away the water. xf this drain was cleaned out and enlarged, tld-committee say, it would relieve the situation very ma- terially. It was decided that no• action be taken. as the tcammittee co ..not con- sider the county responsible. Children's Aid , Work. -At the last nnontnly meeting of the Goderich Branch of the Children's Aid Associa- tion a paragraph in the report of Coun- ty Agerit Elliott, is worthy of special notice as it exemplifiesthe excellent -work being done by 'this organization In the yearly history of the work some ten years or so ago, a lad was taken from the most wretched surroundings, -not even by a. stretch of imagination to be called a home, and ultimately .placed in ahome where be has grown till now in the early years of young manhood he Is an activechurch and Young Men's Christian Association wor- ker, with a fair education and a foster tome in which condttons are all that -could be wished for. Surely a change worth all the effort expended. A com- munication was also read asking for a home for a Finlander boy, eight years of age, who was Left an orphan up north and is now. in Toronto waiting for a home on the farm. He is a strong, sturdy boytbut not able to speak Eng- lish.

Good Medicine for the Spring DO NOT,USE HARSH PURGATIVES -- A .TONIC IS ALL YOU NEED. Not exactlsick—but notfeeling g 9u ite well. That es the way most people feel in the spring. Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches, and a feel- ing of ,depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear ;:on [the skin, ,or ,there may be twinges of rheumatism or _neuralgia, Any of ;these indicate that the blood is out of order—that the indoor life of Winter has ,left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble. Do not 'dose yourself with purgatives, as so ,marry people do, in ;the hope that you can put your blood right. Purga- tives gallop .through the system and weaken instee.d of giving strength. Any doctor will tell you this is true. What you need tin .spring is a tonic that will make new blood and build -up ,the nerv- es. Dr. jWiilliams' Pink Pills • is the only medicine that .can do this speedily, safe- ly and surely.
