Shea THE BARRIE EXAMINER Cultural Methods for Eastern Canada ~ (Experimental Farms Note). On the Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa, and several of the branch Experi- mental Farma in Eastern Canada an exbous- tive study of methods of cultivation has been conducted for the purpose of improv- ing soil conditiop and thereby increasing lerop yields. The results obtained warrant | the accompanying recommendations and ex- planations being made which are valuable |t0 average conditions on Eastern Canada furms UNDERDRAINAGE is without a doubt a most important factor and is indispen- |suble where the rainfall is great and soil |conditions warrant, The carrying away of surplus water allows the entrance of sir into the soil which sids in raising the tem- perature.

(Experimental Farms Note.) | 'This is a question that should not be 'dodged by any farmer. The country is/ \full of varieties about which nothing is known. These verieties have gotten into 'a district and they find o friend who continues to grow them year after year, | occasionally supplying = neighbour with seed. This has occurred in almost every Hocality unless an active propaganda has {introduced modern high yielding sorts. The | result in most cases is that these various | grains have degenerated and the furmer is losing bushels per acre through the use' of obsolete varieties when one could find in any seed catalogue, numerous varieties with names suggest- ive of big yields and lucrative profits. The travelling agent with his high priced {who appeared annually with old varieties under a new name shares the guilt of the enterprising seedsmin, This multiplicity of varieties, especially of those about which nothing is known, is fa serious snd unprofitable condition. The remedy is simple. There has just been issued by the Experimental Farms a revised list of recommended, varieties for the var- fious provinces of Canads. Only those that have demonstrated their superiority for 'a number of years are recommended, and without a doubt they are immensely sup- erior to the archaic sorts now being grown in many localities. If you have not al- ready received it, address a letter to the Dominion Cerealist, Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and a copy will be forwarded im- mediately. The Dominion Cerealist is also jglad to sasist any person in the procuring of seed of these varieties. Every farmer should, while there is yet time before seeding, consider carefully the sorts of grain that he is pow growing, and if in the light of the revised list of recommended varieties, they are weighed in the balance and found: wanting, he should take steps immediately"to procure fresh seed of stqp- dard sorts, Cock Fighting at Penetang big doings in Penetang last week according to all reports when there gathered in that ; 0 No clear rule can be in game fowl, and apparently it did not take very much persuasion to induce them to invite some outsiders to take a hand in the sport. The information has leaked out that the gathering was a somewhat large one from point of distance, and birds were there from Orillia and Peterboro and it is even said that those hailing from the for- mer towns went back with winnigs amoun- ting to $750." Just where the police were in Penetang when all this was going on is a matter that requires come explanation. Surely a cock fight on the scale of this one could not be pulled off without some- | one getting wise, or perhaps the police force over there had been induced to devote their! attentions to some particular section of the town where their presence might not dis- turb the game going on. The penalty for indulging in a cock fight for wager in this country is severe, but apparently that made no difference across the way, It is si there were a number from Midland in at- tendunce and we would not be surprised if that were the case Horse Market Looks Good Alliston Herald.--The outlook for horses the next few months is decidedly promising.
