A prominent feature in the work of
the Experimental Department at the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
is the testing of different varieties of
farm crops. Within the past tea years
upwards of 1,000 kinds have been
grown on plots similar in size and
shape, and situated side by side. Fully
600 of this number have been grown
from four to seven years in succession.
Not only have all the available varie-
ties in Ontario been tested but similar
tests have been made with varieties
in nearly all classes of farm crops have
given better results than the best On-
tario kinds in the average seven years'
experiments.
After the varieties have been very
carefully tested at the College for about
five years, the best are selected for tes-
ting in a co-operative way throughout
Ontario. The co operative experiments
are carried on chiefly through the med-
ium of the ex -students. Experimental
Union, but any farmer in Ontario may
join in the work, provided he applies
for the seed early, and agrees to make
a careful test and to report the results
according to specified instructions.
Within the past five years, we have
distributed to experimenters upwards
of 32,000 packages of choice seeds, with
very gratifying results.
LEADING VARIETIES.
•
For a detailed account of the various
tests conducted in 1595, the reader is
referred to the report of the Experi-
mental Union, which is published as an
appendix to the Agricultural College
report for the same year, This report
s is now being distributed by the De
pertinent of Agriculture, Toronto, to
those who reported the results of their
co-operative experiments in 1895, and
to the members of the Farmers' Insti-
tutes in Ontario.
Our Agricultural College has import-
ed into Ontario some"foreign varieties
of farm crops, which have made high
records both at the College and through-
out the province, and which are becom
lug quite popular for general cultiva
tion. Those which we will mention in
this brief article are as follows: - Siber-
ian Oats, Russia; Joanette Oats, France;
Poland White Oats, France; Mand.
scheuri Barley, Russia; Herison Bearded
Spring Wheat, France; Mammoth Cu-
ban Corn, U. S,; Wisconsin Earliest
White Dent Turnip, U. S.; Salzer's
North Dakota Corn, U. S. ;Jersey Navet
Turnip, U. S.; Salzer's Dakota Millet,
U. S.; etc.
Among the leading varieties of farm.
crops, the seed of which we obtained in
Ontario, the following have made high
records: Dawson's Golden Chaff Win-
ter Wheat, Bavarian Oats, Red Fern
Spring Wheat, Prussian Blue Peas, Ca
nadian. Beauty Peas, Egyptian Mummy
Peas Hartley's Bronze Top Swede
Turnip, Improved Short White Carrot,
Improved Mammoth Saw Log Mangold,
Empire State Potato, etc.
There are other varieties both for-
eign and Canadian which have given
excellent results, some of which have
not been used in co-operative experi-
ments.
EXPERIMENTS IN 1896.
Any person wishing to join in the
work. should select one of the experi-
ments for 1896, and inform the Director
of his choice. As applications for sev-
eral thousand packages have already
been received, and as the supply is lim-
ited, those who apply first will be the
surest of obtaining the desired outfit.
It might be well for each applicant to
make a second choice for fear the first
could not be granted. A sheet contain
lag instructions for conducting the ex-
periment selected, and the blank form
on which to report the result of the
work, will be sent to each experimenter
at the time the fertilizers or the seeds
are forwarded. Material for No. 1 ex-
periment will be sent by express and
for each of the others by mail. Particu-
lar varieties need not be mentioned, as
all kinds to be distributed are those
which have done exceptionally well on
the trial plots at the College. The area
of land required for the different ex-
periments varies from 4 to 10 rods,

• A Former ViTinghamite.
Porn, Ind., March 25.—A. J. Conover,
stall to be a notorious bank draft forg-
er and ex -convict, has been arrested in
this city by.Pinkerton's national detec-
tive agency at the instigation of the
American Banker's Association, • He
had ordered a large number of bank
drafts from a Detroit firm to be shipped
to W. H. Banks & Co, Peru. The en-
gravers learned there was no such
firm, and notified the Bankers' Assocai
tion, which had Conover arrested when
he called a; the express office for the
bank drafts.
.Conover is 60 years old, and former-
ly kept a hotel in Wingham, Ont. Five
years ago he was sentenced to the Iowa
penitentiary for nine years on a charge
of forgery, but Gov. Johnson pardoned
him last fall, It was also . found that
he had ordered a similar book from
Burford & Co, of Indianapolis.
Biddulph School Boy's View of the
Venezuelan Question.
Your are doubtless all aware that
John Bull has a Guiana farm down in
South America. You may also know
that his farm adjoins that of Crespo,
the Venezuelan rancher, it appers
that the line fence between these pro
perties had never either been laid out
right or else pot at all. Anyhow a
quarrel began and reached such a pitch
that Crespo sent John Bull a lawyer's
letter warning him to keep on his own
side of the fence until the fence view-
ers had had a look at it. John replied
that the fence viewers could all go to
Guiana for all he cared, bat that he
would run the fence through to suit
himself. And he started in to do it but
Crespo made such a racket that Uncle
Sam, who lived in the next concession,
heard it and hurriedly pulling ou his
jack boots and taking the gun from the
mantel piece, he started on the run to
the scene of combat. Down he came
out of breath and wanted to know what
in the name of old Jim Monroe,' John
was doing, when he (John Bull) knew
well enough that he (Uncle Sam) was
the eternal and everlasting fence view-
er for that district, and that if he didn't
let him run the fence through where
it ought to be he would lilt him full of
lean. John not having any particular
desire to get full, especially of lead, told
Sam to go ahead. Now Sam had been
bluffing all the time, for he knew that
if he didn't fence view to suit John's
view, he might expect to be kicked in-
to the 42nd concession.
So he cooled down and borrowed
John's pipe and had a smoke, Between
the puffs he told Mr. Bull that he cal-
culated that if the stakes were driven
a little deeper so that the fence wouldn't
blow over any farther he guessed be
would be all right. John was quite
satisfied, and wishing to show his
friendliness he invited Sam to a Turkey
hunt, which he expected would come
off soon.

which was •set forth reasons bear•ing on
the translation of bishops -in general, and

A sulphur spring has been struck in
Glanford, iu the playiround of school
section No. 3. A well was being dug in

phur water was discovered. Pipes are to
be laid to the road, Where atrough will be
placed for the public, The school is situ-
ated two miles south. of Mount Hope, on
Chippewa creek.
The district meeting of the Canadian
Order of Oddfellows was held last evening
to consider matfers which will be bro.tight
up before the annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge at Chatham next June. Mr. Sid-
ney Cothran, of Galt, D.D.G.M., was in
the chair, and about 40 members were
present. It was decided to raise -the limit
of insurance from $1,500 to $2,000, and also
the fees for members between. the ages of
45 and 50 from $1.10 to $1.20 per $1,000.
After the meeting refreshments were
served, and an enjoyable evening was
spent.
Upon furtherinyestigation the eirctrin-
stauces attending the death of the sup-
posed Mrs. Logan become more and more
suspicious. It is now almost certain that
the name of the young woui;ui who died
so mysteriously is 011ie Reichard, In a
few days the police expect to have the
identity of Logan and the dead woman
clearly established. A photograph of
Logan has been sent to Sharon, and a
photograph of 011ie Reichard has been
forwarded to Hamilton. The actions of
Logan at the time of the woman's death
were very strange and mysterious. The
.minister says that viten Logan called to
make arrangements for the funeral he
was under the influence of liquor, and
could give no information about his
wife's birthplace or religion. The woman
was taken ill some time before Dr. Laf-
ferty was called, and when she asked for
a doctor Logan is reported to have said to
her, "You don't need a doctor; I'll give
you some of Dr. Logan's medicine." He
gave her medicine until the doctor ar-
rived. Some of the inmates in the house
where Logan boarded say that when the
woman was first attacked with vomiting
he took great care to empty the matter
thrown off, and did not let the doctor see
it. The boarders also say- that the morn-
ing, the woman died Logan was heard
moving around in his room for some time
before he notified tire landlady of his
wife's death. About nine o'clock, when a
woman went to dress the body, she found
that it was covered with bed, clothes, and
that mortification had set in, One of the
boarders who had cut her wrist touched
the body. Her wrist began to swell to
such an extent that she corisulted4,docs
tor, who advised her to lie very .careful
lest blood poisoning should set in. Wlii(e
the body was being -prepared for burial
Logan appeared greatly agitated, and
asked a great many questions, such as,
"How did the body • look?" "Are they
talking about her death?" "What did
the undertaker say about the body?" All
these circumstances have aroused a deep
suspicion that all is not right, -and devel-
epments are anxiously looked for,:•.
A further investigation of the books
of ex -Treasurer Nicholls of London
West shows that the amount of his
shortage was greatly overstated,
Dr. W. A. Dixon, of Chatham, has
been committed for trial on a charge of
non supporting his wife. The prelimi-
nary inquiry disclosed a most lament-
able condition of affairs in the domestic
life of the principals in the case.
Mr. Groff, of Euphemia, has issued a
writ against Mose township for $5,000
damages sustained through the alleged
neglect of the township in allowing a
pile of wood to remain on the road at
North Newbury. The colt Mrs. Groff
was driving took fright and ran away.
Reeve Webster is looking up the case.
Stephen Butts, 'of Windsor, has a bul-
let in his body just over his left lung.
His wife's explanation of the shooting
is that Mr. Butts is a somnambulist,
that he arose in the night, took the re
volver out of his trunk and inflicted
the wound upon himself after return-
ing to bed, never waking up until of
ter the shot was fired.
The other day,as Dr. Wigle, of Wier -
ton, was driving across the ice on the
bay, from Colpoy's to Wiarton, the ice
beneath the horse and rig suddenly
gave way. The doctor got on firm ice,
but the horse and cutter went down.
No one being in sight, the doctor see
ing no way to get them out started for
shore to get help. Shortly after he had
gone some men saw the horse in the
water and went quickly to its help and
succeeded in getting it out, but seeing
no driver came to the conclusion he
must have gone to the bottom. They
started up to bring the horse home,
and come across the doctor coming
down with help.
A peculiar. and serious accident be-
fell the 2 -year old daughter of Mrs.
Elizabeth Kay, Ingersoll, the other af-
ternoon. The child ' was standing in
the back door, when the door suddenly
blew shut, knocking the child with
great force to the ground, a distance of
six feet. Her head came incontact with
a piece of wood, and she was picked up
apparently lifeless' by the mother, and:
carried into the house, where she lay.
in an unconscious condition for some
time. After considerable working, the
child was restored tq •; consciousness.
An examination ` of the child's head
showed it•to'be seriously injured. i,etre

rumors are eurrent of grave things that

which are circnnistautually• formulated
are, that the I rsige rtiou of M. Berthelot

yesterday, was connected with the wish of
hl, Bourgeois, the Premier, to recall Bar-
on de Coureel, the French Ambassador
fri London; that L+rance's naval reserve
squadron has been ordered to be placed
upon a war footing; and that France and
Russia will convene a European confer-
ence to discuss the powers of the Egyptian
Debt Commission to act against the vote.
of a minority of time Powers gurtranteeing
the debt, and to discuss also the evacua-
tion
tion of Egypt.
There is a growing feeling among
Frenchmen that the entente between
Great B,itain and the Dreibund as a
whole is not as cordial as it was believed
it was when the Nile expedition was first
announced. The signs of the unrecon-
ciled attitude of Germany towards Great
Britain have been keenly noted in France
for two weeks past, and the conviction
has grown that Germany, though glad to
avail. herself of Great Britaia'a assistance
to her ally, Italy, will not take a more
lenient view on that account of any other
forward movements of Great Britain.
St. Petersburg, March 30.—The Russian
newspapers are unanimous in opposing
England's claim to employ the reserve of
the Egyptian debt to pay the expenses 'of
the Soudan expedition. This is necessar-
ily au accurate reflection of the views of
the Government, whose understanding
with France on all aspects of the Egypt-
ian question is most complete. Both
Goverdments are now seriously consider-
ing the adoption of a common attitude in
order to formally establish their opposi-
tion to a prolonged occupation of Egypt,
and thus to pave the way for effecting co-
operation to secure the evacuation of
Egypt as soon as circumstances will per-
mit.
The newspapers vie with one another in
heaping abuse upon England. The Vedo-
mosti supplements its usual vituperation
by an attack upon Emperor William of
Germany. "Germany," it says, "no
longer shines predominant' in the Triple
Alliance. The supremacy is now swayed
by England, who has thus revenged her-
self for the Transvaal incident."
The Novoe Vrenlya says:—"England's
action has been one of mystification and
deception, practised upon the powers who
joined her."
Fled For Their Lives.
Niagara Falls, Ont,, March 30.—The
American side of the river suffered fully
as much from the flood as this side last
night and to -day. Gill creek, in the east-
ern portion of the pretty suburb of Echo-
ta, overflowed its banks last night, and
deluged all the houses and cellars, Peo-
ple were ferried about in -boats, and men
in long rubber boots carried their wives to
the railway station on their backs. Many
ludicrous incidents happened. One couple
went into the water with a splash when
the husband slipped. One old woman,
named Dolan, who lived alongside the
creek, was found standing in three feet of
water, and nearly frightened to death.
She was rescued just in time. The em-
ployes at the sewage disposal works were
forced to flee for their lives, and waded in
water up to their armpits to a piece of
high land. The water has subsided to-
night.
Five Persons"Sturdered.
Cleveland, O., March 30.—At 1 o'clock
yesterday morning to crime of almost un-
paralleled atrocity was perpetrated near.
Tallmadge, a village five miles north of
Akron. Alvin Stone, aged 69, and his
wife, aged 62, while asleep at their home
were brutally murdered by an unknown
man, who literally beat their heads to
pieces, after which numerous knife
thrusts were made into the bodies of the
dead. Two daughters, Hattie aged 29,
and Emma, aged 27and the man servant,
A. E. Stillson, were also attacked. All
three were fatally injured. They were
beaten about the head with a blunt in-
strument, which must have been of great
size and weight.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
The Question of the Egyptian Reserve
Fund—The Delagoa Bay Purchase—The
Rumor Officially Denied.
London, March 28.—In the House of
Commons the Under-Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geo. N. Curzon,
replying to a question regarding the fail-
ure of France to endorse the use of the
Egyptian reserve fund for the purposes of
the Nile expedition, said that the French
Government does not consider a vote of
of the majority of the Egyptian Debt Com-
mission to be sufficient to warrant the use
of that fund for the expenses of the expe-
dition. Mr. Curzon added that none of
the other powers had formally expressed
an opinion. Referring to the action
taken against the Egyptian Debt Com-
missioners.at Cairo, Mr. Curzon remarked
that certain French bondholders had sum-
moned the commission to appear before
the tribunals on April 13.
Mr, George N. Curzon was asked in the
House of Commons if there was any truth
in the report that Great Britain had pur-
chased Delagoa Bay with the whole strip
of territory from Amatonga on the south,
to the Chartered Company's territory on
the north, the Limpopo river constituting
the eastern boundary. for the sum of L5.-
000,000.
5:000,000. Mr. Curzon declined to reply,say-
ing that the Government must insist upon
proper notification being given of such a
question.
The First Lord of the Treasury, Mr. A.
J. Balfour, stated that he had received a
letter from the Duke of Cambridge,saying
he wouldhave accepted the extra pension
proposed for him if it had been granted
unanimously; but, the Duke added, as it
was opposed by the late Secretary of "War
he could not allow the Government to
proceed in the matter.
Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary of State for
the Colonies, announced to the House that
there was not an atom of foundation for
the deports of the purchase by Great Bri-
tain of Delagoa Bay and an adjoining strip
of territory.
Mr. Curzon said that France's announce-
ment in regard to the annulling of exist-
ing treaties with Madagascar was of ex-
treme importance. Wheil the Govern-
ment had received official notice of this
action, he said, they would take proper
steps to protect British interests.

Halifax.
Halifax, March 26.—It is said the Im-
perial authorities have decided to place on
the forts in Halifax harbor two of the
most powerful search lights that can be
manufactured. The lights cost $25,000
each. One of the lights will be placed on
George's Island. The location of the
other has not yet been decided upon, but
it will doubtless be placed in a position so
as to command the entrance to the har-
bor'.
A member of the Halifax Club here has
received a letter from Andrew Harmon of
London, a friend of Lord Dunraven. In
the letter itis stated that Lord Dunraven
had decided to visit Canada the coming
summer, and will come via Halifax, re-
maining in this city for some days. It is
possible that Lord Dunravea may sail the

The Detroit River Bridge.
Washington, D.C., March 26.—The bill
authorizing the construction of a bridge
across the Detroit river is dead, so far as
the House Committee on Inter -State and
Foreign Commerce is concerned. A
member of the eommittee said to -day that
the opponents of the measure had d con-
vinced the committee that such a bridge
would impede navigation and seriously
inconvenience the shipowners on the great
lakes.' He said further that, in iris opin-
ion, the only practical solution of • the
problem was the construction of a tunnel
between the United States and Canadian
shores. '
