Miss Tyrell having been out Jsince the morning, Mrs. Wheeler was looking forward anxiously to her re- turn with the view of holding a little gprivate conversation with her, and the entre Wheeler family were no less anxious to act as audience for the oc- casion. Mr. Bob Wheelcr had de- parted to his work that morning in a condition which his family, who were fond of homely similes, had likened .to a bear with a sore head. The sis-‘ terly attentions of Emma Wheeler‘ were met with a boorish request to keep her paws off; and a young Wheel- er, rash and inexperienced in the way of this weary world, who publicly ask- ed what Bob had “got the hump about," was sternly ordered to finish his breakfast in the washhouse. Con- sequently there was a full meeting after tea, and when Poppy entered, it was confidently eXpected that pro- ceedings would at once open with a speech from the sofa.

They usually give a very low percentage of germina- tion, which results in serious crop 1failure. The sowing of these frozen oats in past years has given the gen- eral impression that all western oats will not do well in Eastern Canada the first year.
