THE er -- DAIL Y ht / The great army of gardeners who have small places with no room to give to cold frames or hotbeds for early seed sowing and hardly need- ing them because of the small exten of their garden patches depend upon teed sown in the house for their ear- ly plants. And the great majority of them do very well at it and are im- proving rapidly. A season or so of sowing indoors soon tells the observing planter his faults. First of all, seeds should not be planted in too wide a box as it is Impossible to get a proper distribu- tion of light from the window of a dwelling in such cases. A cigar box is an {deal box and about the right width to give ample light and even growth, Even these need turning every few days to be certain of equal- izing growth. Second, a gardener soons learns the necessity of providing absolutely free drainage for the seed box through losing promising looking seedlings after fine germination through damping off. Third, the necessity of guarding the moisture by panes of glass over the seed boxes or by cloths or paper cut to fit the soil surface is soon ap- parent, Fourth, it is soon found necessary to water seed boxes containing fine seeds by standing them in a pan of lukewarm water and allowing the water to soak up through the holes provided for drainage. Otherwise the moisture must be applied by a spray or by dripping it carefully from the fingers or from a wisk broom. Careless watering, washing seeds out of the ground or into min. fature wind-rows, often causes much loss and waste of effort. Sift the soil and use the course material for the bottom of the box, covering the holes for drainage with pleces of broken flower pots or crock- ery or bits of rock so the soil cannot leak through. Then sift the soil over the coarser material so that the seed- lings will have about two inches, or at the very least, an inch and a half of soil. Sow the seed thinly and in rows the short way of the box, marking the rows with match stems or tooth- picks. Weeds coming up between WHEN FOOD FAILS Defective Digestion is the Cause and Misery Follows. There are thousands of people wha do not get the proper nourishment from the food they eat, because their digestion is defective. Food that lies undigested in the stomach 1s not merely wasted, it will ferment and poison your system. Flatulence and sour risings in the throat follow and unless you are careful you will be- come a chronic dyspeptic. By toning up the stomach to do the work nature intended, you will remove the cause of the trouble. Nothing will more promptly restore the digestive organs than good, new blood. Stomach, nerves and glands all depend on the blood, and when it gets thin and watery they are at once weakened. It is because of their ac- tion in building up and enriching the Soed-Sowl ng Indoors blood that Dr. Williams' Pink Piils have proved successful in so many cases of indigestion where ordinary medicines have failed. 'The new rich | blood quickly tones up the digestive Organs; the appetite improves and you are able to eat with comfort and get full nourishment from your food, You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50c. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. ------ ALONG BAY OF QUINTE. The Loyalist Settlement and Some of the Churches. Toronto Globe. Early days in the Adolphustown neighborhood the cradle of the civ- ilization of Upper Canada, are fur- ther revealed by a reader, Rev. Jesse H. Arnup, who sends the fol- lowing information as a result of inquiries on his own account on be- half of the Methodist church, of which he is assistant Secretary for foreign missions: - "Your reference to the yalist settlement of the Bay of inte district calls attention to a fact not generally understood. "It can be clearly shown that the Loyalist movement into Canada be- gan before the outbreak of the revo- lationary war, doubtless as a result of the fiery agitation and discussion which for several years preceded the outbreak of hostilities. The facts have come to my rotice in studying the situation in preparation for the centenary of the first Methodist con. ference, which was bgld at Hal lowell, near Picton, in"1824. Your reference to the Huffs reminds one that in the home of Paul Huff was " by jo BRITISH WHIG PROBS:--Friday, Strong northeast winds, light .snow in southern portions, lower temperature.

Water the soil by set- | ting the seed box in a pan of luke- |! warm water until it shows at the sur- face.

It is a good plan to keep | them from the light until the first | tiny pointe of the germinating seeds | break through the soil. Then move | to the light. Keep in as even a | temperature as possible. Tilt the | glass a little for ventilation and wipe | off the "sweat" when it gets too | thick so it will not drip down on the tiny plants and start damping off, a fungus that causes them to rot off at the surface of the soil. Space coarse seeds carefully, one at a time, in. order to make trans- planting easy. Give them an inch each way and they can grow to fair size before moving becomes neces- sary. Give air either by opening the window or setting outside on warm days.

But at léast two years before the date (1776) mentioned by your correspondent, another party of Methodist Loyalists left New York for Canada. They wer Bont and Barbara Heck and members of the family of Philip Embury, who had introduced Methodism into New York in 1766, and built its first chapel two years later. In 1774 they left the scene of these interesting associations and, after a "brief resi. dence near Montreal, settled on the 'front,' in Augusta township. Here they set up at once their homes and altars. The record reads: 'Samuel Embury was appointed class leader; reguar meetings - were instituted, and a Methodist Society formed.' The centenary of the conference will be held at Picton during the first week | of June." ------------ CANADIAN SEEDS, Have Been Sent To The British Em. | pire Exhibition, Ottawa, March 20.--Twenty cases | of Canadian agricultural seeds weighing 700 pounds each have been sent to the Canadian building at the British Empire Exhibition for display purposes. All kinds of seeds | are included from fine lawn grasy and garden seeds to corn and beans. The Canadian system of plant breed- ing and government control over production" inspection and grading | is unique and has aroused co nsid- erable interest among agricultu¥ists ! In other countries, and the British | Empire Exhibition offers a splendid | opportunity for Canadian seed grow- l ers to create a favorable impression abroad. : | Canadian seeds have won a place : in other countries during recent | years. At the Chicago Internationa} Exhibition a short time ago Canad- | ian seed growers maintained the re- | putation of the northern bred and selected seeds by winning 14 out of | 25 prizes for spring wheat and 28 out of 35 prizes offered for oats. The demand from abroad for Canadian grown seeds that are under the metal geal of the Canadian seed in- spector is constantly growing. Canadian seed exports last year were valued at more than two and a quarter million dollars. In alsiki clover seeds the Canadian supply controls the world prices. Exports of stered seed grain last year went to Australia; South America, Rus- sia and other countries of Northern Europe. In spite of the United | States tariff against imported seeds Canada still exports registered and extra No. 1 grade of seeds to the south in considerable quantity, Thé Salvation Army has purchas- ed the Warden 'property, Smith's Falls, for a hotel and ng centre for their Immigration de- partment in eastern Ontario.
