The In- ducements held out to tho British to settle in Canada are certainly very great To what extent tbey will avail themselves of the offers made remains to be seen. At any rate it is an in- finitely better way of carrying for tho surplus population of the motherland than the system of birth control and reaferictioh recently advocated publicly by the British Minister of Health. sheep. . . . But, guid kens, dugs arena the (lily creatures that lose the things tkcy .should protect an' value," he ad- ded, iiuir to bimaelf. "There's dearer things to lose than sheep. An' I ahould ken, bein' a sheep-farmer." "And I know, too," said Roae Al- bany, "being an actress." Ho gave her a keen look, at first suspicious, then becoming friendly. "Indeed! Ye're a verra decent-like lass to bo an actress," ho remarked. "Hut maybe they're no' all so bad as what I've been led to believe." Inclined to believe that the com- mercial traveller In patent cattle- foods, with whom he had once dis- cussed his tragedy as though it were another's, was right, and that Maggie had been tempted' of the devil into changing her name to something loM respectable. Or, perhapa, she had married some play-actor, whioh was nearly as bad. "But what doea it matter noo?" he concluded. "I never really gled up hopes o' meetlu' Maggie again until the day.

"It . . . it's a fine day," ho atam- mered, the tan on bis countenance deepening painfully. â- "Yes, London Is ideal In April," she replied looking away. He recovered himself, and, clearing bis throat, sal'l: "Aye! but It's no' as bonnis as tho braes o' Yarrow. It Just gara a man Ilka me think on his gnid fortune In no' beln' tied to tho roon.

Rose was listening now. She was hearing the other side of the question which she had refused to discuss with Rupert.

I've naetbin' to do In a dreary place like this." "What about the theatrical T" she suggested. "Come and see our after- noon performance. Iâ€" I might per- haps have tea with you afterwards." "I dinna care for tho theaytres, miss," he said uncomfortably, "but It wud be rale Itlnd o' ye to drink a dish o' tea wi' me, when your play- actln' la llnlshed.

Where suitable land oan bo obtain- ed flax production may bo made a very remunerative undertaking at the present price of fiax fibre. This waa shown in an inveatlgation conducted in Nova Scotia by the Division of Economic Fibre Production of the Do- minion Experimental Farms, an ac- count of which la given In the latest report of the Division. To carry out th experiment twelve fanners were chosen, and supplied with seed. The total area sown was ItH acres. Of the twelve farmera who took part eight made a profit over all costs of production.

Investigations conducted by the Bx- perlmntal Farma have shown ths used tor greater attention on the part o( th average (armor to tho propr clean- ing and grading ot the grain he uses (or sed purposes, states the Dominion Ceredlist in his latest report. If fanning is done in a perfunctory man- ner it will bo of very little use. The average fanning mill, except in tho hands of a particularly careful man, will not clean and grade grain as care- (ully aa thla should bo done. The seed (or next season's grain crop should be prepared in the late (all or early winter. I( thla work is left to the aprlng it Is apt to bo done hurriedly and inadequately. The very best of the grain produced on the farm ahould bo saved and used for aeed. Tho fanning mill should be overhauled and put In good runnlag order and the instructions sent out by the manufacturer with tho mill care- fully followed. It la not enough to run tho grain through the mill onto, but It should bo passed through three or more times if necessary. The first fanning wllliremove chaff dlirt and light kernels, and the subsequont ones will land may be used for growing them and on muck soils they are frequently more profiUble tban any other forage crop. In this country rai>e and kale are used principally aa pastnrea and . in this capacity they have proved t^^bo quite aatlaljactory for sheep, swine and cattle, eepeciiUly young cattle and fattening atoora. However, in- stead of being uaed as a paature, they may be cut green and fed dtreotiy to the animals. Both crops are greatly roHshed by poultry and should be much more widely utilised la poul- try plante. Rape or kale are valuable as aids for eradicating weeds as tbey can bo profitably planted quite late In tbo spring. The land to bo cleaned may be ploughed early and cultivated until the latter part of June. Then rape or kale may be aown, and as they soon . oovor the ground, further growth of* I woods wlB be Urgoly prevented by shading.
