In March, the first issue of a pamphlet entitled " Seasonable Hints " was brouglit 

 out. As its name implies, the chief aim of this publication is to place in the farmer's 

 hands some suggestions on the work on which he is presently engaged, and give him the 

 benefit of the results along similar lines obtained at the Experimental Farms. It is 

 planned to bring out further issues of the '' Hints " during the coming year, at such 

 times as its value will be greatest, and its contents most timely.
