Lobo: Lightning struck the large barn of Mr. Malcolm McKellar, 6th con. on Saturday afternoon during the storm. Though the fire was discovered by the household almost as soon- as it brokeout, the flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save the barn or its contents. It was impossible to rescue two horses which were put in just before the sturm came up, and Mr. McKellar's entire crops for the ,season were destroyed.

She wag removed to her home and med- ical aid summoned. Up to a late hour on Sunday she had not regained suffic- ient consciousness to speak, . • Leading Varieties of Winter Wheat Reports of t nceessfinlli' l"o»atiteted, Experiments from Thirty Comities In Ontario. One hundred and twenty-two varier tial of winter wheat have been tested at the Ontario A.gricultural College within the past six years. Some of these varieties have produced yields of grain which were- more than double those of other varieties grown beside them on plots of thesame area. Not only has those been a great variation in the comparative yields of grain pro- duced by the different varieties, but there has also been a marked differ- ence in strength of straw, weight of grain per measured bushel, value of grain for milling purposes, etc. of the different varieties tested. The results of these experiments are published an- uually in laulietin form and to the Col- lege report, and are sent free to all members of farmers' institutes in On- tario, by the Department of Agricul- ture, Toronto, The bulletiu giving the result of the winter wheat experiments conducted in the Experimental Depart- ment, the past year, is now in Toronto for publication. In the fall of 1894, nine leading va- rieties of winter wheat were selected from the kinds, which had been grown from one to five years at the Agricul- tural College. and were distributed throughout Ontario for co operativeex- perimental work. These were divided into two sets, with five varieties in each, the Dawson's Golden chaff being used in both sets to form a basis by which the results of all the varieties could be compared with one another. Each person wanting to conduct an experiment, stated in his application which bet he desired, and the five va rieties in the set selected were sent to his address with full instructions for conducting the experiment. The grain was sown at the rate of ie bushels per acre upon plots 1/160 of an acre in size. Two hundred and forty-seven winter wheat experimenters have reported al- ready this season. Of this number, one hundred favored us with good re ports of successful experiments, eighty furnished partial reports, and sixty- seven wrote of failure or unreliable re- sults. The names of the successful ex- peritnenters and the detailed results of the tests will be printed in the annual report of the Experimental Union for 1895, which will be published as an ap- pendix to the Agricultural College re- port. The following table gives the com- parative yields of straw and grain per acre of the winter wheat varieties tes• ted during the past season on one hund- red Ontaria farms: • 1 Dawson's Golden Chaff 2 Early Genesee Giant 3 Early Red Clawson 4 Jones' Winter Fife 5 Pride of Geuesee 6 American Bronze 7 Surprise 8 Early Ripe 9 Early White Leader — F • '-'8 5,e ere- .gis'74 F, -' yo Sg °x 1.39 82.9 1.44 30.8 1,28 28.9 1,33 28.8 1.38 28,8 1.34 28.6 1.33 28.1 1.37 27.8 1.29 27,4 As none except the one hundred good reports of successfully conducted ex- periments have been used in the pre- ceding surmary of results, they should be of great value and worthy of the thoughtful attention of wheat growers in Ontario. Much credit is due to the careful experimenters who sent us the full reports, which have been used in this summary. CONCISE RESULTS of these Co OPERA- TIVE WINTER WHEAT EXPERIMENTS, 1 Reports of successful experiments with winter wheat have been received this season from thirty counties in On- tario, nineteen of which are east and eleven west of the City of Guelph. 2 The Counties of Lambton, Middle- sex, Huron, Grey, Elgin, Simcoe and Bruce furnished fifty-one of the one hundred good reports received iu 1895. 3 Of the two hundred and forty sev- en experimenters who reported the re - stilts of their tests, only eight speak of wishing to discontinue the co.operatiye experimental work, and much interest is manifested throughout, 4 Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early Genessee Giant, Early Red Clawson, and Jones' Winter Fife gaye the high- est yields of grain among nine leading varieties of winter wheat tested throughout Ontario for two years in suecession. 5 In average yield of winter wheat'. per acre, Dawson's Golden Chaff stood highest among eleven varieties tested over Ontario in 1895, nine varieties in 1894, and nine varieties in 1895, also among Hfty.three varieties grown at the Ontario Agricultural College for foUr years in succession. 6 In the co-operative experiments for 1895, Dawson's Golden Chaff, Jones' Winter Fife, and the Early Genesee Giant gave the best yields on heavy soils, and Dawson's Golden Chaff, the Early Genessee Giant, and the Amer. ican Bronze on light soils. 7 When the experiments followed peas, grass, or bare fallow, Dawson's Golden Chaff gave the largest average yield of grain, and when they followed potatoes, Early Genesee Giant came first in this respect,' 8 Early Genesee Giant and Daw-"' son's Golden Chaff Made the best ap- pearance in the spring of 1895, and Early Ripe looked the poorest, 9 American. Bronze, Early Genese Giant and Dawson's. Golden Chaff post, sessed the stiffest straw in 1895. 10 Pride of Genesee and Americana Bronze produced the greatest length of straw, and the Surprise the shortest. length, 11 Early Ripe and Dawson's Golders Chad' were the least, and Early Gene. see were the least, and Early Genesee Giant anct Early White Leader were the most affected by rust, 12 Early Ripe and Early Rep Claw- son were the nest t0 mature, a1111 the Pride of Genesee and Early White.. Leader were the last to mature, 18 Early Genesee Giant and Daw- son's Golden Chaff produced the plump- est grain, and Early Ripe and the: American Broaze, the most shrunkeie grain. 14 Dawson's Golden Chaff was decide edly the most popular variety with the experimenters in each of the past three years; and during the present seasons. it was chosen by over sixty per cent. of the farmers who sent in full reports as being the best among the varieties, tested. DISTRIBUTION or SEED FOR TESTING. PURPOSES, In the following table will be found two sets of winter 'wheat varieties, which will be sent free, by mail, itt . half•pound lots of each variety, to farm- ers applying for them, who will care- fully test the five kinds in the - sew which they choose, and will report the results after harvest next year, They seed will be sent out in the order in. which the applications are received as long as the supply lasts.

C. A. ZAvrrz, Experimentalist and Director of co-operative experiments in Agricultural Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, August 22nd, 1895, Dashwood: While all was silent and sound asleep, burglars broke into Mr. J. Kellermann'sstore, and burst open the safe. The thief stole two chisels. and a brace from the shop of Ms, WIn.. Zimtaers, and pried open the back door of the store, on which screws three inches long were drawn completelyoree of the wood, but it seemed this was nes barrier to him. He then commenced his work, drilled a hole in the - top o. the safe with a five sixteenth drily about 15 inches from,the brink of the safe, in which he must have put iu a big charge, as the slivers of the door were scattered all over the floor, and moved the safe about ten inches from its place. He received nothing for his trouble, however, tis there was no money in the safe. From there he went and burst the till open, in which begot between thirty and fifty cents, which was left in for change. BIRTHS. DIEHL—At the rectory Ailsa Craig - on the 18th inst., the wife of Rev.
