The Ontario Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin dealing with crepe, live stock, eto. It is ascertained therefrom that the area of fall wheat is 102,000 acres rr:'" 7ieklb�luYti `Ya ilk kit �t9h1 ti '� l �(7ib<Y eYsy i i eibutY-dag' Spring wheat is greater by 203,000 Gores, peas by 73,000 and haynd clover by 76, 00 0. The estimated yield- of wheat exceeds that of last year by 5,700,000 bushels, that of peso by 2,500,000 bnnhele, beano by 470,- 000 bushels, and of hay end •clover by 577,- 000 tone. Oompltred with the annual averagee of eight years past, there is a de. oreaee-of 2,400,000 bushels in wheat, 4,000,- 000 in barley and 500,000 in oats, but an in- crease of 3,000,000 bnehels in peaa, 4,000,- 000 in beano, and 1,264,000 tons in hay and clover. The wheat area is •less than the average of the peat eight yenta by 176,000 sores, and the barley area by 71,000 while the es nnades' iii, say an, 0OVer .y 'iil,corn 'y 41,000, buckwheat by 29,000, and recite by 122,000. The fall wheat through most of Western Ontario is of good quality and unu3na11 tine crop. Spring wheat will pro be better than fair, but unsafe to predict certainly. Barley is light and• nut a great deal will rate first class. The oat yield is expected to be light to the aorg. The rye prop has given a fairly good yield and is generally well secured. There is a fair and uneven crop in peas. The hay crop is magnificent, save in a very few of the eastern counties. Corn is good in Kent and Essex and some neighboringlooalities, but, not so good in the southern central counties and the western peninsula. There is abundance of fodder oorrr, particularly in the east. The promise of the fruit crop is not fulfilled. Apples will be less than a third of a cropand pears poor. Plums will be afa,ilure, save here and there. Grapes promise a gloriona yield in the Lake Erie region. Mental Kitchen Stales. Te ommon•sized eggs weigh one pound.

The oorreepondent,. of the Arnprior Chronicle at Miesanabte Station, Algoma, Benda the following : A man by the name of John Gibeanit, employed working on bridges' for the Canadian Pacific Railway `do meisar , attereete out -utter Wane 'Lo egttie- himself with a dessert of blueberries, which were growing in abundance a short distance from the camp. After eating his fill he started back to where the gang were at work, and while wandering slowly along his gaze fell upon a very large bear which was ambling along a few paces in front of him. Bruin was seemingly taking no notice of John, but he being a very brave fellow picked up a small atone and threw it at the animal to attract his attention. It had the desired effect, for his bearship Mopped and looked up at . the intruder. John was unarmed, having nothing to de- fend bimeelf except a butcher knife that he Ili n d:nr...w �i41, rum Btoo • Oon renting each o her or several moments, the bear seemingly being determined to get to the opposite side of the track, and John being equally determined to prevent him if possible. Bruin finally thought he had lost too much time and started to climb up the railway bank to where John was standing—between the rails. When within a few feet, the bear rose on its hind lege ready for fight. John graspedhis knife tightly and with clenched teeth waited for Bruin to begin the battle. The animal advanced until Gibeanit could feel his hot breath in his face, which made him feel very nervous. The bear then made a sudden charge, when John stepped quickly to one side and drove his knife into the bowels of the bear, which caused him to howl with rage. He turned and seized John in his powerful jaws and began hugging him until his ribs cracked. John tried to free himself, and in the atruggle he got the bear down, and then began a rough and tumble fight, during which bear and man rolled down the bank. At the bottom of the ditoh the fight was renewed, and John getting the advantage drove his knife into the animal's body several times. The hot blood gushed from the bear's wounds in streams, and soon Gibeanit was covered with gore. The bear fought with deapera- nr-ah itt'w'as-e- Brit ra rlt--ta t-te- to say which 'would succumb, but an the bear was getting weak from lon of blood his struggles grew feebler, and taking ad- vantage of an opportune moment Gibeault drove his knife to the hilt in the beast's. heart, giving him his quietus. John then got up and made his way up the bank, feel- ing proud of his work. He hada few acres to go to where the rest of the men were working, and on arriving there he began to tell them of his encounter. His comrades only laughed at him, but John told them to go and see for themselves. Three of them started to the scene of the battle, and to their surprise found that John ,, was not lying, for there lay the bear stretched on the grass dead. A hand -car was procured and the carcass brought to Miesanabie Sta. tion, where it was viewed by a large num- ber of people. It was the largest bear ever killed in this section. Pointers on Advertising. " By their newspapers shall ye know them," was the very apt reply of a success- ful merchant relative to the standing and enterprise of the business men of the com- munity. There is no safeguard like a local news- paper. Nothing can do more to help keep up a town and help business ; and mer- chants, above ail, should give them the preference. Yet, frequently the only, return the papers get for their enterprise is de- preciation from those whom they have benefited both directly and indirectly. As long as this is the case newspapers will be prone to welcome new comers m the field, even if their visits are brief.—Printer's Ink.

" I had," he says, " to drop the croft, as I could not cultivate it at last, but I still out my own fire (poets), and,I oarried home on any back a ereeiful of peate (84 pounds) yesterday." Continuing, he states: "I take porridge and milk for breakfast, as I always did throughout my life ; potatoee and herrings, and fish and mutton. (salt) when I an get it."

Everybody knows the Dominion Immigra- tion Agent is good at guessing, he has to do so much of it in connection with his depart- ment. The Mail gives the following : A good story is being told here by Immi- gration Agent John Smith, which is worth repeating. Whilst coming up in the train some days ago with Messrs. Stiff and Hobson, the Superintendent and Engineer of the Grand Trunk Railway, and when between Port Credit and Oakville, a dis- ouseion arose as to the rate of speed at which the train was running. Each gentle- man thought he could guess the rate of speed more accurately than his neighbor. Mr. Stiff guessed twenty-five miles, Mr, Hobson said thirty, and Mr. Smith jumped up to forty-two. After registering their guesses watches were produced, and the rate of a mile was timed between telegraph poles. It was found that the speed was between forty and forty-four miles an hour. " That," said Mr. Smith, " makes it just forty-two. " Yes," said the rail- road experts, " but how did von guess it so close ?" •" Because," replied the immi- gration agent, " I have the time card in my pocket, and know just what .the train has to do here."

THE SEA OTTER. How the Natives of the North Kin This Valuable Fur Animal. The spearing surround is the historic and orthodox native system of capture. A. party of fifteen or twenty canoes, with two men ih each, set out in pleasant weather a, d rllt eas3:r,atltnmeel_yee dolt over t r e'`"Yo`wl addlin ' `e atet 71 wakes. when any one of them discovers an otter asleep he makes a quiet signal by lifting his pad - die; then dashes hie canoe toward the animal. Of course the alarm is taken by the sensitive creature, but the hunter keeps right.. on and stops his canoe direotly over the spot where the otter disappeared: The other hunters instantly deploy and spatter, forming a circle of half a mile wide round the place, and patiently wait for the animal's reappearance to breathe, which meat take place in fifteen or twenty minutes. 41.e. soon as this happens the hunter nearest to it darts forward, while all bands shout and throw up their spears. The animal then itself and expel the surcharged air from its overloaded lungs. A sentry is again placed over this second diving spot as before, the cirole is drawn anew, and thus the game is kept up until the poor sea otter, from oft. interrupted respiration, becomes so filled with gases that he cannot sink and forms an easy vic-tim. The clubbing is a gamy undertaking and is only carried on in the winter season et the end of some tremendous gale. Then the old natives set out and scud down' to the far -outlying rooks just protruding above surf -wash, where the sea otter are lying with their heads pushed into and under the beds of kelp to 'avoid the fierce pelting of the spray. The noise of the tempest covers the stealthy approach of the hunt- ers, who eaoh armed with a short heavy wooden club, despatch the animals one after another without alarming the whole body. Hunting by the use of nets is peculiar to the Aleuts of Atkas Altoo. These people make little nets from sixteen to eighteen feet long_and, from six to . teen. feet _wideL with a coarse, diamond-shaped mesh. The nets are taken out to the kelp bed and screed carelessly here and there over a floating mess of the " sea cabbage." After a few d`eye' absence the bunters return and frequently find sea -otters entangled, braving, aB they ss' eedied of excessive fright.

So the first seventeen yearsof his life, being also the last of the last century, as well as the moat eventful period of European history, he is a, veritable walking encyclopaedia of historic -lore. " Yon have also met many men who had been pressed into the navy ?" " Yes," he said, " I have. Men who were afloat with Rodney, Duncan and Nelson -lads of my own acquaintance.

The Fashion in Flowers. There is an increasing tendency to ar- range distinot flowers in masses and with their own foliage as far as possible. No one will deny that the effect .is .infinitely better than the old fashion of mixing any number of promiscuous blossoms of differ- ent kinds and colors. Take roses, or car- nations, or,, sweet peas, or any other brilliant flower now in -bloom. Fill your vases with one variety only, and your dining -table or drawing -room will have a far better effect than if yon had a whole greenhonseful " of the rarest blossoms crowded indisoriminatoly together. Nature is a very true artist, and the more natur- ally the flowers can be arranged, the better 'they will look.

What the Grand Trunk is to Chicago. it is now quite a long series of years since the Grand Trunk became one of the great trunk lines of this comntry. Although a Canadian road originally, and still such in the greater part of its mileage, it is a very important part of the United Staten railway system, for all practical purposes. Ever singe it reached out as far as Chicago it has done an immense business in sup- plying New England with western grain and provisions. The dressed beef business was antagonized by the other lines for a good while, the Grand Trunk being its main reliance. • 'All this has been done without any injustice to the railroads of our own country.—Inter-Ocean.
