. w-ould be difficult to coiiipute the annua! loss to the Dominion resulting from the sowing of low grade seed grain. It is astonishinK how 
little attention is paid to remedying this unfortunate state of affairs by the average farmer, who goes on year in and year out, and in many 
parts of the country from generation to generation, without ever thinlsing it necessary to make a change of seed, or to properly clean the grain lie 
sows. Ihe inevitable result of this continued course of bad farming is that the Oats. Barley, Wheat, etc., get " run out " as the saying is 
and yield crops that do not pay for the growing. We shall be pleased to quote and send samples of Seed Grain of the various varieties offered' 
By carelul selection of the earhest and plumpest grains, when growing, and sowing these, great improvement can be made on the yield of Cere- 
als, tnough at great trouble and expense. When, however, selection in this way is inconvenient, nearly the same result can be obtained by 
powertul machinery, and strong winnowing, at less cost, and we hope our farmer friends will note this suggestion and act on it. Our seed 
grain js heavy and properly cleaned.
