The eviâ€" dence of the lady and of Dr. Kelly showed that the attack on the woman had been a brutal one. The woman had been laid up for a week as a conâ€" sequence. Magistrate Atkinson comâ€" mented that had the man‘s evidence been true he would not have been able to "slap" the woman as heavily ‘as he very evidently did.

"We are still taking them," was the answer. So it was "One day in jail, then to be taken to North Bay to the military authorâ€" ities." But the trip to North Bay will have to wait for thirty days, for Carriere took the time when he was sentenced to a fine of $10 and costs or thirty days for consuming beer while a minor. On behalf of his client, Kathle>n Bastien, â€"charged with consuming while on the interdicted list, W. O. Langdon pointed out that it was ‘"Emila‘" that was on the "black list."

While the cirâ€" | cular suggests of suitable varieties for | different areas of Ontario, no referâ€"‘ ence is made to the Cochrane district,. and The Advance would urge the‘ settlers and farmers here abouts, to consult Mr. Hanlan, Agricultural Re-‘ presentative, Matheson, Ont. A letter‘ to Mr. Hanlan will bring prompt and valuable reply. : I The circular from the Crcps, Seeds and Weeds Branch concludes with the following paragraphs:â€"â€" "The conditions most favourable to corn growing are high temperatures and a long growing season. The crop responds; to favourable moisture conâ€" ditions and prefers a« fertile, deep, loam soil. Corn for grain should be planted as early as possible in order to take advantage of the full growâ€" ing seasou. "Hybrid corn must not be planted too thickly. A good objective in hill planting is to have three plants per hill and in row planting about one plant per foot as the final average stand. At this rate of planting, one bushel of seed should be sufficient for 6â€"10 acres, therefore the initial outâ€" lay for sized per acre is very low. "Farmers requiring seed should contact local seed dealers, your agriâ€" cultural representative or the Crops had agricultural representative. "Corn is an esential crop for the livestock farmer. When unfavourable weather lowers the yields of other crops, corn will often do well and the farmer who grows a fair acreage is always sure of plenty of feed as the crop may be used for fodder or grain. "Fof full yield and best quality grain, the corn must be well matured before killing frost, therefore too much emphasis cannot be put on the importance of selecting a variety that has been proven by actual tests to be adapted to the district."
