ONTARIO CROPS The seeding in Ontario has greatly delayed- by- un favorable weather There is however no occasion for pessiinv ism The season of 1897 was says the Globe on -all- fours with this and still the harvest from the spring seeding that year was above the normal More over fall wheat was a failure in while this year it promises well In addition to this fruit prospects and the returns from orchards vineyards and small fruits are yearly becoming of greater importance could not well be brighter than they are Taking everything together there is much more reason for encour agement than for discour agement I believe this is go ing to be the latest season for spring seeding in my recollec tion said Prof A of the A Conditions how ever vary much with localities and with individual farms On

Some wellplaced shots smashed the German cylinders arid the vapor escaped blew it in clouds towards thtj Canadian po sition but the Canadians with gay masks on and standing to were ready for it and the fumes had little effect Just at this time the wind became shifty and blew a part of the gas back upon the Germans greatly to their discom fort Following up the gas the Huns advanced with a fierce bombing attack but our bombers drove them back in a few minutes Then came a lot of German infantry They were almost annihilated by machine gun fire Followed a second lot of infantry and these were driven back almost at once Though our soldiers suffered very little frtom the gas its fumes were strong enough to tarnish brass buttons and some of it sweeping around behind killed a number of horses A British brigade- in a neighboring sector received the gas in some what more concentrated form than the Canadians ALL GOOD COOKS USE BRUNTON8 Mr has returned la his farm in after spending the winter

ficent fighting of the Canadian trooips during the recent violent battle at St when the strug gle at times assumed a touch and go character deserves to bo re corded at greater length Further interesting details of this important engagement have been supplied by a Canadian of ficer who gives a thrilling ac count of the dash and heroism of the Canadian forces and of the regiments who fought by their side The main burden of the fighting he states was shared by the Northumberland Fusiliers the Fusiliers and several Canadian Battalions First of all said the officer Let me pay a warm tribute to the valor and pluck of the North umberland Fusiliers They are entitled to the lions share of the credit for the victory which the achieved at St FJoi I have been at the front now for many months and I have lakep part in numerous attacks and counterattacks I have never seen any soldiers called upon in undertake a tougher job than that allotted to the Northumberland Fusiliers A CUPTIK FLNAL It was a painfully slow and dangerous task to cut the wires especially as the Fusiliers were in full view of the enemys guns which belched forth a constant hurricane of shells An opening was at last effected however and then Fusiliers went for the first line of German trendies for all the world as though they woro a football team rushing a goal at a Crystal Palace Cup Tic final A large number bravo fellows fell for their bodies were an easy mark for the German machine guns and They had 10 make their dash over a stretch of ground which afforded absolute ly no cover there was nothing between them death but the breeze of an early morning contempt for the the was grand that Is the only word to describe It and like a wavo they swept over the Gor man trendies Ft must not be supposed that the enemy wero taken unawares indeed they had made careful pre parations for this not unexpected onslaught by the British They fought desperately in Ibo to hand encounter ami for the issue of struggle was very doubtful however the superior bayonet work of the but not until we had witnessed a frightful orgy of slaughter IF IT COST US EVERY MAN It fell to the lot of the Cana dians to take over a position from the Northumberland and Royal Fusiliers- At a certain point we successfully exploded five nines in a direct line and these com pletely shattered the enemys de fences Seizing our opportunity under cover of heavy artillery fire we advanced to occupy an enemy position A dingdong handtohand struggle ensued Germans came out to meet us and though we went for them regardless of losses the decision remained in balance for a long time First we gained the upper hand and then Ger mans who appeared to outnum ber us by 5 to But the Cana dians reckless ever ami de- spile steadily decreasing num bers stuck hard and would not yield an inch of ground which they had taken The position thus captured was vital to the en emy and he continued with all his might in men and machine fire to force the Canadians to retire But our orders were to hold what we had oven if it cost us every man These orders we fulfilled and al though tho enemy made frantic and repeated attempts to dislodge us we succeeded in retaining the position CANADIAN HUMANITY On many occasions I saw our boys out on all fours under a constant machinegun fire to pick up wounded Germans In contrast to this behaviour I saw a wounded German officer actual ly try to shoot a Canadian who was making an effort at the risk of his life to save him It has happened before and will happen again But the Canadians will al ways fight like true men no mat ter what odds may be That is spirit of Canada Central News tOOOv Pieces Only Raw Silk 36 In wide heavy quality 3 Pieces Only Cream and White Curtain Nets 36 and In vide Sale
