Garden Talks Getting Off c arly It will soon be time to start think- ing of getting seed sown Indoors.

The cost of the land, labor, age, and fill with saad and loam. If equipment and fertilizer will be lost' as well as the pleasure of growing beautiful flowers and the satisfac- tion of producing high quality fresh vegetables if good seed which is the foundation^ of all this, is lacking. It is essential to use good seed and suited to Ontario conditions. A certain rose or a very fine Corn, for instance, may give wonderful results down in Virginia where the climate is much milder or in England where there Is little trouble with frost but the same variety, if used here, will not do well. Because of this un- alterable condition the gardener Is well advised to obtain his supply of seed and plants from those sources which cater to Ontario gardens. Naturally, the seedsmen In the prov- ince select their supplies to suit our climate and conditions, and the fact : that most of our seed houses have ' been in business for a generation or more is ample testimony of the suit- ability of their selections. material is not on hand often the nearest greenhouse man will sup- ply some.

Make sure that your plants ara pro- tected on nights when the tempera- ture Jireatens to drop to zero. If a large quantity of plants are desired It will be necessary to provide a hot bed. This is simply a glass .protected bed placed on a pile of fresh horse manure at least eighteen inches deep. The uanure should be allowd to heat up and cool down again before planting. Have the bed face the south with the glass loping a few inches in the same Direction so that rain will run off and the sun's ra'ys may be caught more fully.

Planning the Flower GaGrden When we come to planning the flower garden, we must adopt a dif- ferent attitude entirely with regard to the rows than was the case with the vegetables.

Man Has Bigger Brain Than Woman Face is Gradually Receding While Mind is Expand- ing Toronto The brain of man is in-' creasing in 3iz aud power, his i cranium is becoming larger, and his face is gradually becoming less prom- inent, showing a marked tendency to ' recede backwards beneath the brain case, stated Prof. J. C. B. Grant of the department of anatomy of the University of Toronto during a re- cent address at an opon meeting of the Royal Canadian Institute here, j Over a period of hundreds of cen- ' turies, as the brain of man increased | in power and capacity, it became lar- ger, stated Prof. Grant. This ten- dency may be proven by a compari- 1 son of the size of the cranial cases ' of skulls of different stages of man's ' development. Professor Grant pointed out that | the brain of a man is larger than I that of a woman. He did not con- 1 sider. lowever, that this could alto- ! gether be taken as proof that the ' mental capacity of the male was just ' that much greater than that of tiie female. Brain sizes, he considered, were to a certain extent proportional to the size of the person to which , they belonged. He pointed out that the brain of the elephant and of the ! whale were larger than that of a ' man, but that this could scarcely be| taken as proof that they had greater mental capacity. The unmistakable tendency of the jaw and of the facial portion of the skull to recede under the brain pan was, in Professor Gram's estimation, | a result of the fact that the human | face has been relieved of many of its duties by the hands. Lower ani- mals, he explained, must use their jaws to accomplish clumsily many things which a human now does easily with his tinkers. Discussing the ridges, depressions and other phenomena of a skull, Prof. Grant pointed out that the only con- nection between the face and the; backbone is through the medium of ' the brain case and that the muscles j which work the jaws are attached not to the face bones but to the walls of the brain. In consequence, he j said, by examining the extent of the | areas to which, the muscles are at- j tached and these are usually mark- ed by fairly sharp Hues one can dls- j cern accurately the muscular capa- city of the skull's late owner. It is by the use of such methods as this, he stated, that deductions as to the nature of primitive man were form- ed by scientists.
