It would be difficult to eompufe tlu' aiiiiud 1 )ss to the Dominion resulting from the sowintr of low grade seed gram. It is astonishing 
how little attention is paitl to remedying thi.-. uid'ortunate state of affairs by the average farmer, ^vho goes on year in and year out, and in 
many parts of the coimfiy from geneii'fion to g.MHMation, witlnuit ever thinking it n(H-cssar>' to mala' a change of .«eed. or to properly clean 
the grain lie sows. 'I'hc inevitable result of this cunt inu^tl cour.se of l)a(l farming is that the t)ats. Barlcj', Wheat, etc.. get " run out " as the 
saying is, and yield criM)s that do tK^t I'ii.v for ih ■ growing. We shall be pleased to quote and send samples of Seed Grain of the various varie- 
ties offered. By eareinl 'Irction of the earliest and plumpest grains, when growing, and_ sowing these, great improvement can be made on the 
yield of Cereals, tliough at gieal trouble anti expense. When, however, selection in this way is inconvenient, nearly the same result can be 
obtained by powerful machinery, and strong winnowing, at less cost, and we hope our farmer ' friends will note this suggestion and act on it. 
Our -^oed gra-n is heavy and properly cleaned.
