. ' SEEDING IN CANADA

fThb "Crop Report" _oi' the Bank of Montreal, May 11th, gives s SYITJITZIS ‘of farming conditions in Canada. froln which I extract this following item. Scedlnl is well advanced in the Prairie Provnces and is proceeding satisfactorily under favorable weather coildltlcnsiThe acreage will be about the, same as last year. Early seeded wheat is showing through the ground but growth is retarded by cold back- ward weather. Reins would be bene- ficial‘. British Columbia reports spring three to four weeks late but crop [nospects favorable. - In Quebec heavy rains and cou- tinued cold weather have hampered farm operations and no seeding and little plowing has been done.

Inflthe Marltinles. apple trees are reported to be making a very favor- able start and there has been little winter kill in the grass pastures. It is estimated, thin" the potato acreage will be 25% below the five year over- age. The winter was moderate but conditions are backward owing to a cold spring.

srnvcuuruc

J. H. W.—Your query as to the con- stituents of Strychnine is answered bv the formula C21 H22 N2 OZ. It is, an alkaloid which was originally found in Strychnos Ignatil. “st. Ignatius‘: Beans," but.is nlow known to occur in other plants of the Strychnos gen- us. Btrychnine is very bitter, has an alkaline reaction, and is practically insoluble. Externally 1t is a powérflll antiseptic but its extremely poisonous nature prevents it from being used for this purpose. Internally in very small doses it acts as s. bitter, pro- moting the flow oi gastric Juice ind directly stimulating the inner mus- cular coat. Its specific effects are upon the central nervous system. Small doses increase the sensibility oi touch, sight and hearing: ovrer- doses produce violent convulsions. ‘It is a' very valuable remedy in certain diseases but fatal to the average person ~ in 11-2 grain doses. Idiosyncrasy plays an im- portant part, some people being very susceptible; cases have ‘been known where ‘the victim has died in‘ 20 minutes from a half grain dose. It Ls usually ‘employed as a poison for animals‘ but, must be handled witn the ‘ -‘ care, nnd in such a man- ner that human beings are not en- dangered.

THE USE OF LEISURE

_ Many years ago while exploring the

water-front of this city, I entered in- to conversation wth a gentleman who conducted s very successful buslimil there. I lllpllened to say that s. $011M friend was about to enEB-Be in a cer- taln occupation whereupon he said‘ "Tell him from me, that any man can make a living by working in busi- ness hours; it's whet. he does after businrss hours that makes him inde- pendent." Thls advice seemed so 800d that I committed it to memory 911d now recall ititfter 15 years have elap- sed. For Sir Charles Grant, Robert- son. principal end vice-chancellor oi Birmingham University. and one oi the speakers at the educational con- ferenee in British Columbia, says the world has new got to learn how best it can occupy itsleisure_hours to make the maxirmim use of spare time. He computes that the average person has three hours when he is "neither sleeping, working. taking exercise or having meals," and what the mBJOTlW do in case ‘spore time will usually ex- plain the difference" between. one civilization and another.

“III-IRE THE APPLES GO

We ought to be sble to supply a great quantity of fruit for the world's markets, but, for some reason or oth- er, we neglect what other provinces have found to be a source oi very considerable revenue. We have botn the soil and the climate that the Rcsaceae-frults revel in, and those members’ of the heath family whose fruit is used as food, are equally at. home.

In this connection I note that Nova Scctia sold 1,241,133 barrels, ‘l.- 539 hall barrels and 258 boxes, oi apples in 1928, besides 752,440 quarts of strawberries and 1,559 barrels of pears.

New Brunswick sold 55.000 bar- rels of apples and 685.000 quarts of strawberries.

Where did this marvellous quen- tity of fruit go? Half of the bsr- rels crossed the ocean, some to iind buyers at Havre. Hamburg, Stock- holm, Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Antwerp; and Great Britain took m9 balance, viz., 586,061 barrels all the half barrels and nearly all the boxes Newfoundland bought 16.207 barrels sndWiQ hail barrels.

Why Bees Swarm

Foliage Effects 1 In the Garden

But aside from the plants of, bril- liantly colored foliage. which some gardeners do not particularly like, there is the inflrlte varieay of greens, blue greens, gray greens, and yel- low greens to consider. The stacks and California poppies have gray green foliage which is a restful foil for their brilliant flowers. The nus- turtiums have brilliant yellow green leaves that add an important accent.
