Strathcona's Romantic Marriage.


The marriage of Lord Strathcona was
a romance. He met the lady when be
was Twenty-Five and living on the
coast Of Labrador She was a widow
and had Il little son. There was no
priest or church within 1000 miles and
the marriage was simple contract
without ceremony. 1t was for this
reason that when the high commission
er became peer in 1897 remarriage
was held to be necessary and it was
solemnized with the full ritual of the
Church Of England. The Labrador
marriage was, however, ratified by

First "Game Law"

The first game law" for the protec-
tion of wild animals and birds was
enacted in 106S by William the Con.
queror This decree of the Norman
king was called forest law, but its
principal purpose was the preserya-
tion Of game. Forfeiture Of property
was made a penalty for killing or dis
abllng any kind of wild beast, while
the slayer Of a stag buck or boar,
II convicted, had his eyes put out.
These laws, of course, applied only to
the masses, since the royalty and no.
bility were permitted to kill as much
as they pleased. In fact, the princi-
pal purpose of the pioneer game law"
was to provide sport for the few. The
first parliamentary game law in Eng
land was passed in 1896. Game laws
in America have become increasingly
strict OF late years, but they were
adopted too late to save many species,
notably the buffalo, from almost COM
plete extinction.

ed is considered unnecessary. Many
farmers believe that their autumns are
so dry that such care is superfuous.
Seed corn in every locality gathered at
ripening time, will be benefited by
drying as suggested. If left in the
husk long after ripening, it may sprout
or mildew during warm, wet weather,
or become infested with weevils.
The vitality of seed is often reduced
by leaving it in a sack or in a pile for

warm weather, with some moisture in
the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or

The only proper way to select seed
corn is from the stalks standing where
they grew, as soon as ripe and before
the first hard freeze.
AS soon as the crop ripens, go
through the fields with seed picking
bags and husk the ears from the
stalks that have produced the most
corn without having any special ad-
vantages, such as space, moisture, or
fertility Avoid the large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount of space around them. Prefer
ence should be given the plants that
have produced most heavily in com
petition with a full stand of less pro-
ductive plants.
In all localities the inherent tenden-
cy of the plant to produce heavily of
sound, dry, shelled corn is of most
importance.
Late-maturing plants with ears that
are heavy because of an excessive
amount of sap should be ignored. Sap
piness greatly increases the weight
and is likely to destroy the quality. In
many sections this fact is not suf-
ficiently appreciated.
In the central and southern states
all other things being equal, short,
thick stalks, are preferable. Short
stalks are not so easily blown down
and permit thicker planting. Thick
stalks are not so easily broken down
and in general are more productive
than slender ones.
The tendency for corn to produce
suckers, is hereditary. Other things
being equal, seed should be taken
from stalks that have no suckers.
The same day seed corn is gathered,
the husked ears should be put in
dry place where there is free circula.

Washington, d. c., Sept. S.-Autumn
is the time to prepare for profitable
corn crop the following season. At
this time the seed is most abundant
and the very best can be obtained be-
fore it has been in any way reduced
in vitality. Many let the opportunity
pass, expecting to purchase their seed
corn in the spring, but the depart
ment of agriculture specialist in
charge of corn investigations advises
that the autumn is the best time to
select good seed
The best place for the farmer to OBJ
tain seed corn is from fields on his
own farm, or in his neighborhood, that
were planted with a variety which has
generally proved most successful in
that locality. OF, course, if COM
est corn breeder on whom it may
rely, the seed corn may be obtained
from him.
The corn breeder who has demon
strated year after year the superiOri-
ty of his corn, will demand a special
price for his superior seed. Such corn
breeders are improving corn as cattle
breeders have improved cattle. He
has used special methods that farm
ers generally have not time to apply.
Five dollars a bushel is not too much
to pay and will be a profitable bar
gain for both parties.

The importance of the three require

enumerated, are as follows:
