[Natfonal Crop Improvement Service.] By sowing only plump seed definite increases in yield may be expected. At the Ontario station (annual ' re- port 1908) an experiment was con- ducted to determine the difference in yield to be secured by sowlfg the heavy and light seed of a given varie- ty. For the first three years of the .experiment the difference was 10.4 bushels per acre in favor of the heavy seed and for the last three years the difference in yleld was 224 bushels per acre in favor of the heavy seed. Furthermore the difference In weight per bushel increased from 8.2 pounds the first three years to 9.5 pounds the last three years of the ex- periment. This shows a decided ad- vantage to be secured by - thorough grading and sowing only heavy seed oats CLEANING AND GRADING OATS. Seed oats should be carefully screened and graded before sowing. This work is ordinarily done with the mill, the light oats and some of the trash being taken out by a current of air, while the small oats and most of the weed seeds are removed by means of screens. The process should take out one-third or one-fourth of the oats, but if the seed is very light a much larger proportion should be removed. Many of the small, light oats will not germinate at all, while others produce weak plants, which materially reduce the yleld. "Screening also greatly re- duces the proportion of weed seed, thus preventing thé spread of weeds and further favoring the growtk of the oat crop. Poet’s Hearty Appetite. The London Daily Chronicle re minds us that Victor Hugo’s powers of digestion were of no ordinary cali- ber. In some reminiscences contribut: ed to Le Temps M. Edouard Lockroy relates that the poet when served with crayfish invariably " ate them whole, swallowing the claws' and shell with great gusto. Oranges were dealt with in the same way, the peel being eaten with as much relish as the fruit. A dinner party at Hugo’s was a trylng ordeal for people of normal appetite. “On one occasion,” writes M. Lockroy, “we were fed for three hours without intermission, Aft Baztake of pastry and syrupe” - ed by Henry J.

Thomas. . Carlyle ~observed that “kings_are 11l to joke wi’,” but there have nevertheless been :plenty of jok- ers 8o audacious as to: “josh” royalty with impunity. Indeed, there have been rulers with -a well developed sense of humor, such as Charles IIL, capable of enjoying a sally at their expense. It is related that one day when Charles was inspecting a warship: at Chatham ‘he askéd Killigrew: “Don’t you think that I should have made a good shipwright?”’ Charles was proud of his reputed skill in naval architec- ture, and, no doubt, by this query sought a compliment.- But Killigrew, who was nothing of a courtler, re plied instead: “I have always thought that your majesty would do better at any trade than your own.” A lively example of French retori to royalty is afforded by the story of Marshal Bassomplerre and Louis XII. The marshal had given his ma jesty an account of his embassy to Spain, setting forth the manner in which he had entered the Spanish cap ital mounted on a mule. “An ass seated on a mule!” exclalmed Louis, with a Jaugh. “Yes, sir,” replied the marshal, “and the joke of it was I rep resented you!” Good old, Queen Bess, it appears, had a pretty wit, which she was by no maans loath to exercise * upon her subjects. In one verbal duel, at least, Elizabeth got the worst of it. Observ. ing in the gardens a courtier to whom she had promised promotion that had not materialized, her majesty thrusi her head out of the window and called to him: “What does a man think of, Sir E¢ ward, when he thinks of nothing?” “Of a woman's promise, your ma jesty!” was the response, Among the neatest retorts to royal ty whereof we have record was thal alleged to have been made to the Prince of Wales, afterward King Will fam 1V., by the secretary of the ad miralty. ‘William had been bantering the sec retary for some time at table. ‘“When I am king,” said he, “you shall not be secretary to the admiralty. What d¢ you say to that?” “God save the king!" rejolned the witty secretary. Brittany Bridal Superstitions. * It is interesting to note the number of shrines in Brittany dedicated ta marriage. “At Plonmanach, a village on the northern coast,” says a writer in Country Life, “there is a shrine picturesquely sitoated amid the rocka which the sea washes round every day. Only at low tide can one clam ber over the rocks to the. canopied figure of St. Guerin. When a Breton girl desires to marry she sticks a pin in the nose of this saint; should i{ drop out within the year she believes her desire will be fulfilled. On anoth er occasion, near Douarrenes, in the Finistere district I came -across a small shrine decorated with orangy blossoms in a hedgerow, where a young girl whom I had previously seen tending her flocks was kneeling in prayer, after which she rose and dropped a pin down the well. By ques tioning her I found that it was the custom there to drop a pin down the well before the saint, and eventually, after the wedding ceremony, the bridal blossoms were brought and hung round the shrine.”—Tit Bits. 8igns ‘Missing. “Why do you want your money back?” asked the man at the box of fice. “You're operating under false pretenses here. “This fsn't a real vaudeville show.

He realizes that if he is to reach out and get and hold business he must get the volume. of busi- ness 80 he can sell on a smaller margin. The larger the volume of business the more the ' , selling cost is reduced, because every concern could do_far more business than they do with ‘the same selling: force. -Salesmen’s salaries and = other ex- penses do not materially increase as the sales in- crease. It is really astonishing to know how the selling cost diminishes as the sales increase. One business man who watched the effect of his advertis- ing upon his business for a number of years:said his advertising increased the sales to such an ex- tent his sel]ing cost was reduced to one-fourth of what it was before, and after adding the cost of advertising his.selling, cost was still less than one- half the: previous selling cost. This is.the experi- ence of every merchant who has advertmed his business as it should.be advertised. 5 The merchant who increases his sales and the volume of his business buys more goods and in bigger quantities than the smaller merchant and thus get a bigger discount. The producer can manufacture cheaper if he manufactures in bigger quanitities. He is:thusmaturally going . to glve a better discount to the bigger merchant who buys i b ,. thus.enabling . the, manufaetnrer: bigger quantltles. ‘Now doesn’t it stand fo reason’ that the man who tlu-ongh judicious advertising sells more g00ds, ‘buys his goods at a- bigger discount, .and_ reduces _ his selling cost one-half could sell cheaper than the dvertises We * * * * * * Ruth nghtman Teacher of Piano sud;.hl‘ogzsn..u,i Ave. D, H.
