The uneven depth at which drills
deposit seeds on hillsidcs some
times shows curious results. The
lower side Of the drill weighs down
the tubes, and on mellow soil car
ries thv seed three or four inches
deep Going down a hill has the
same effect. IN going up a hill the
seed is drilled shallower, and trav-

pigs and sows, particularly for those
with very young itters. They
will keep their nest entirely clean
and dry for a long time. The little
pigs cannot hide themselves in it
as they will in straw, and thus the
danger of the SOW lying on them

Supposed Disloyal Officials.
OTTAWA, ONT, Oct. 3.-For some time
past the Dominion Government has been
watching with considerable suspicion sew
eral members of the Civil Service who
are In sympathy with the home rule party
In Ireland, and who it is feared were
endeavoring to sow seeds of sedition
among other Government Oflic ais.
In view Of this an order was issued
yesterday compelling every member of
the civil Service to take an oath of al
iegiance to the Queen, failing in which
their pay would be stopped. 1t is quite
evident that the fears of the Goyerpment
nav nave been aroused, as in connection with
tnls movement, it has now been proved be-
yond doubt, that the recent robbery of the
minutes or meetings Of ST. Patrick's So
ciepy, which are now missing, were stolen
IRON the room by Government official.
VINO recently joined the society for no other
purpose than to secure these books, which
the Government believes will disclose
certain facts bearing upon the evidence of
several prominent members of the Civil
service having spoken disloyally of the
xueen and country, and having identified
themselves with the Nationalist party. It
mas Deen an open secret for some time that
there are several members of the Civil
service who are in sympathy with, il thew
do not belong to, the Fenian Brotherhood,
ana they are being sharply watched by
outside detectives.
