These foreign seeds consist of various kinds of more or less noxnous weed seeds, the most prevalent being those of Pigeon Grass. Rib GraSs, Catchfly, Canadian Thistle, Rag weed, Curled Leaf Dock. and Sorrel, in Varying prcportion. As a rule it would be expected that samples of this kind would be offered for sale at a price commensurate with their quality; but such is bv no means the case. The average retail price per bushel of the. ten samples which contained the largest per centage of weed seeds was $6.95 per bushel. The real value of these seeds cannot, however, be accurately given until the germinat- ing tests have been completed, as seeds which are free from weed seeds have not always shown the highest per centage of vitality. can Agricultural Colleges and Exper- imental Stations for testing seed are being followed in detail throughout. In making a purity test,two grams of Red Clover and five grams of Timothy and Alsike seeds are carefully weigh- ed out from each of the one-half pound samples on a precision balance sensitive to one millegram; the im- purities are separated. and the per centage of pure seed is thus obtained. The impurities are then examined and the percentage by weight of weed seeds determined ; the weed seeds are identified, and the number of each kind of weed seeds in a pound of seeds oflered for sale is calculated. To test the vitality of the seeds. four 10ts, containing one hundred seeds each. are indiscriminately taken from pure seed which has been thor- oughly mixed for the purpose. The seeds are placedâ€" one hundred in each group so as to check one against the otherâ€" between folds of blotting pa- per and set in a standard seed germ- inator. This germinator apparatus, specially dt signed for this work. is so arranged that the heat. moisture, air, and light are absolutely under the control of the operatorâ€"condi- tions which cannot be had except by laboratory methods. The seeds are kept at a temperature best suited to their germination. After they have been in the germinator twenty-four hours, those which have sprouted are removed, counted, and the number is recorded. This operation is repeated each day for ten days. By this method not only the vitality but the vital energy of the seed is shown. The results of the investigation thus far would indicate that there has been comparatively a small amount of Timothy, Alsike, or Red clover seed wilfully adulterated this spring, although a number of samples which have been analyzed show a large per cent of inert matter such as sand. broken pieces of stem. c. Four of the samples which were seâ€" cured from local dealers in Ontario contained an average of seventeen and one-half per cent of total impur- ities. one of which was purchased in Renfrew at $7.20 per bushel, and from an average of three tests showed 33.6 per cent of total impurities. l Sixty-tour samples of red clover These samples of seeds reached the Department under a variety of names which were intended to designate their grade or quality, but which rather served to mystify the less in- telligent purchasers. Such names as Linnet, Otter. No. 66, Salmon. Elk, Prime, Pine Tree, and such like terms have been given to seeds by wholesale seed firms and are not in anyway ex- ! pressive of their real worth. They 'are terms which have been coined in wholesale seed houses and are evid- ently intended to take the place of such terms as Grade No. 1, Grade No. 2, Grade No. 3, Screenings. c., which, if used by a seed firm bearing a good reputation, would mean a good deal to any intending purchaser. The samples which have been col- lected are being analyzed for both purity and vitality. The necessary ‘ equipment for a modern seed labor- atory has been secured, and the rules adopted by the Association of Ameri- In order to secure more definite information with regard to the actual conditions of the trade in the com- mon grass and clover seeds, arrange- ments were made early in the year to collect a few hundred one-half pound samples of Timothy. Alsike, and Red Clover seeds that were ofier- ed for sale by local dealers. Over five hundred samples have been ob- tained at various points in the difler- ent provinces in Canada where such seeds find a market. The information which was receiv- ed with each sample included the place where the sample was obtained, its origin. the price at which it was ofiered for sale, and the year in which it was stated to have been grown. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, J nos 17, 1902. While intelligent farmers, with a fair knowledge of the seed trade, can obtain high classed seeds, a large proportion of them get their supplies in small towns or villages from local dealers who have but a limited know- ledge of seeds. The result has been that those farmers who are not with- in reacb of a good commercial centre have experienced dimculty in secur. ing reliable grass and clover seeds. This led Agricultural Societies, Farmers’ Clubs. and individual farm- ers to direct the attention of the De- partment of Agriculture to various grievances connected with the seed trade, and investigation has proved that there has been just ground for complaint. 60W MANOR OF SEEDS. " The years went by. The war was finished. The President had sufiered martyrdom at. his post, and it was not until shortly before Mr. Beecher’e death, over twenty years later, that it was known that the mysterious stranger who had called on the stormy winter night was Abraham Lincoln. The stress and strain of those days and nights of struggle. with all the responsibilities and sor- rows of a nation fighting for its life thrust upon him, had broken down his strength. and for a time under- mined even his courage. He had traveled alone in disguise and at night from Washington to Brooklyn to gain the sympathy and help of one whom he knew as a man of God, en- gaged in the same great battle in which he was the leader. Alone for hours that night the two had wrestled together in prayer with the God of battles and the Watcher over the right. until they had received the help which He had promised to those who seek His aid. Whatever were the convictions and religious belief of Abraham Lincoln. there is no doubt that he believed in prayer, and made that the source of his strength.” H»... Hâ€" “ Late one evening a stranger call- ed at his (Mr. Beecher’s) home and asked to see him. Mr. Beecher was working alone in his study. as was his usual custom, and this stranger refused to send up his name, and came muffled in a military cloak which completely hid his face. Mrs. Beecher’s suspicions were aroused, and she was very unwilling that he should have the interview which he requested, especially as Mr. Beech- er’s life had been frequently threat- ened by sympathizers of the South. The latter, however insisted that his visitor be shown up. Accordingly the stranger entered, the doors were shut. and for hours the wife below could hear their voices and their foot- steps as they paced back and forth. Finally, toward midnight, the my- sterious visitor went out, stillmuflled in his cloak, so that it was impossible to gain any idea of his features. The Cause of Dyspeptic Pains. Improperly digested food usually forms gases that cause a painful dis- tentiou of the stomach and pressure against the heart. This results in much pain and distress, but Nerviline will relieve the distention. dispel the gas, and cure the dyspeptic pains very quickly. Polson’s Nerviliue is really an excellent remedy for Dyspepsia. Indigestion. Crampa,Sum- mer Complaint and all Stomach and Bowel Troubles. No household is complete without Nervillne.

Samuel Scoville, Jr.. grandson of Henry Ward Beecher, writing in the “Sunday School Times ” (Philadel- phia), tells of a secret meeting be- tween President Lincoln and his grandfather in 1862 : Women and Jewels. Jewels, candy, flowers, manâ€"that is the order of a woman’s preferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even that greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efiorts to make or save the money to pur- chase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem. then let her fortify herself against the in- siduous consequences of coughs,colds and bronchial affections by the regu- lar use of Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup. It will promptly arrest con- sumption in its early stages and heal the afiected lungs and bronchial tubes and drive the dread disease from the system. It is not a cure-all but it is a certain cure for coughs. colds and all bronchial troubles.

Thirty-three per cent of the samples of Red Clover seed ob. tained from Quebec Province contain- ed more than five per cent of total imprities. The results so far include only the analysis for purity of the Red Clover seeds obtained from Ontario and Quebec. ‘In examining the seeds for germinating the testing is all done in duplicate, and results will be pub- lished later on. This seed investigation work which is being conducted by Mr. G. H. Clark B. S. A., has brought to light some important facts connected with the seed trade; and it is the intention of the Department to continue this work with a view of bringing out such information as may be helpful alike to seed growers. seed merchants and seed consumers. and to ascertain if the actual conditions of the seed trade in some of the more common grass and clover seeds require a system of seed control such as has been adopted in other countries for the safeguarding of the best interests of agriculture. seeds were secured from local dealers in the Province of Quebec, but- the testing of these samples for purity has not as yet been completed. The results of the work this far. however, indicate that the farmers of Quebec do not get all the screenings from the Ontario-grown seeds. The per cent- age of total impurities from the sixty four samples ranged from one fifth of one per centâ€"which was obtained from a sample secured at St. Fran- cois. and being sold at the rate of Toronto Saturday Night.
