BLAKELEY Merchant Tailor KrUIUen for K4I Fall wheat must have a btroug well-rooted plant to withstand the winter. To insure this there should be an abundance of all kinds of avail- able plant food in the soil. The two constituents tLe whoat plant bai the greatest difficulty in ijettlii*- out ot th soil are nitrogen aud phosphorus. If the laud has been manured aud summer fnllowed, or, II a clover sod has bn ploughed down there will probably b no uefd uf purchasing a further supply of nitrogen And an application ot acid phospliatu alon* will probably b- suBlclent. If, ou th other hand, the wheat Is to fol- low oaU, or IT ihere its any fear that the plants will not develop a good top, thon some form of readily ax#U- abUi nltroguiioiiK lortilixer may b used to advantage.

These reasons are said to be that the beaver is a member of the rat family- an animal unpop- ular with the world. So the lion must lake its place, the animal holding- a maple leaf in its mouth ! We submit that no justification he- in this reason tor a change in our Dominion coat of arms. Any person who knows the habits of the Canadian beaver will not admit that his honor is in any way smirched by his close alliance with the rat family. His intelligence and in- dustry arc models for human imi- tation instead of being 1 mark* for sneering references to his ancestry, and Canada was honored by giving him a place on its coat of arms. The I'nited Slates has much more reason lor discarding the eagle in 'heir national emblem, because he is a dirty bird and half brother to the odoi iferous turkey buzzard. But he is agressive and has H won- derfully keen vision, and his virtues evidently outweigh his obnoxious qualities with the American people. There are really no obnoxious tea- lures in the beaver and he is a marvel oi industry. Everything he does, and the m.inner in which he lives, is admirable and worthy of imitation even by the men who are responsible for withdrawing this symbol and replacing jt with an African lion holdinjj a leaf in his mouth ! \Ve say with emphasis, place the beaver .buck on his honorable ped- estal and hit the man who dares 10 call him a rat.
