Returns just to hand show that the
Injury done by the Hessian fly iie the
Lake Erie group of counties'has been
so great that in many lastancee the,
yield of fall wheat per acre is as low
as only five bushels per Detre, al-
though in the saine localities large
yields 'rer acre have also been return-
ed. The fly has done comparatively
little damage in the Georgian Bay
counties, in Bruce, and in the central
and eastern portions of the rrovinae,
There has been more or less rust com-
plained of, the, hot, damp weather
Prevailing at times being favorable
'Jeer its development. In the repeats
as to the quality of the grain fee -
fluent mention is made of the kernel
being shrunken, the intense heat of
the, early part of July, it is averred,
causing premature ripening. Har-
vesting took place' rather earlier than,
usual. While a immber of 'correspon-
dents speak of the crop being cut anci
housed in excellent condition, others
complaia that the rains prevailing at
the latter leart of harvesting together
with the great heat, caused sOme of
the grain to srrout in the shock.
,Very little threshing had been done
as correspondents wrote, but it ie ex-
pected that retirns will range from
15 to 40 bushels per acre. Nearly 7
per cent, of the original area sown
was plowed up.
SPRING WHEAT.
This crop is grown chiefly in the
eastern half of the province, corres-
pondents in the weetern counties hav-
ing comparatively little to say about
it. The yield is a variable one. al-
, •
though a large number of correspon-
dents spee,k of good returns. The
crop, like fall wheat, suffered consid-
erably from rust, and from an insect
which did a good deal of injury by
cutting the stalk at the joint. Some
also complained of the Hessian fly.
Only • a, few had cut their spring
wheat as correspondents wrote, but
the bulk of the standing crop was
then reported to be in fair condi-
tion.
• BARLEY, OATS AND RYE.
Barley.—As in -the case of other
cereals, correspondents are mot near-
ly agreed 'regarding the yield and
, quality ofbarleya although. it is like-
ly that it will be a better clam relaa
tively than either spring or fall
wheat. It. has suffered but little
from insect .peSts', and while some
'correspondents report .the grain as
discolored by raiins during harvest -
ng, others claim that the color is
good, altleieugh: the berry is rather.
small in size. -
Oats— This crop, has also suffered
from the abnormal heat of July,
which hastened vie ening, arid in
many cases prevented the heads from
filling out thoroughly. Correspon-
dents in Eastern Ontario spealc of
the crop as having ripened verb, Un-
evenly, which delayed harvesting in
some instances. Only a few had cut
oats up to the first. week of August.
The straw in many cases repofted is
not as long' as usual. '
Rye --Comparatively littlerye is
raised for the grain in this province,
the crop being used largely for soil,
log and other purposes. • Where al-
lowed to mature it has turned out
'well. '
PEAS, BEANS AND CLOVER.
Peas. ---The reports regarding peas
vary considerably, except on the one
point, that the crop was more or
less injured by the "weevil" or -bug,
th o ugh, where gras s, peas 'Were SPiYil

Hay and ,cloveaf—sThis 'without

the 'season. both as to quantity ,and
quality. The average yield for the
province will be mach above the av-
erage,' particularly in the St. Law-
rence and Ottawa counties. , Clover
• did -better than timothy, and the se-
cond crop is looking well. '1' Cutting'
extended. from the last week Of June
to the third week Of July.
CORN AND TOBACCO.
Corn.—Despite the factnthat plant=
'mg was delayed' in many quarters
owing to wet weather then prevail-
ing, the crop has made good headway
and taken as a whole gives promise
of doing well snould early frosts not
appear.
Tobacco. --This crop is confined
chiefly to Essex, Kent, and Prescott,.
and even in those counties it is not
grown to a large extent. •Some cola
pOndents. speak, of the plant as do-
ing, • well, but others complain of
yworms" as being very bad, and' one
return .declares that a considerable
portion of the Crop is •"trenching."
Much of -the tobacco Was planted ra-
ther late this year, owing to the

,
THE ROOT CROPS.'
Potatoes.—,Tadging by the nu/liter
ef. correspondents- who report "one
the worst years yet for potato
bugs," the beetle must have done a
lot of injury. 'This, coupled with the
dry weather prevailing during the
Trevions nionth or more, has , told
greatly against the chances of the
crop. It is pointed out, however,
•that recent rains have greatly- MI -
proved the outlook for the crop. ,
Root—Reports concerning root
crops vary considerably. It is said
by some that turnips are almost a,
complete failure, while others claiin
that the crop is in a most promising
condition, The non -germination of
the seed and the attacks of the fly
a, given as the most serious eauses
of the loss'. 'Mangels have done bet-
er turnips, Carrots are said
res
ta be doing veil, and the same may
be said of sugar beets. As eorree
spondents wrote, the root crops were
picking up, 'WoriderfullY in aPPear-
ance. "
FRUIT UNSATISFACTORY
Frui£—Reports regarding apples
are far from satisfactory. Although
there was plenty of bloom in many
localities' during spring, much, of the
fruit did not set, and later on 111eSt
of the apples fell off before matur-
ing. Them is not likely to be half ,,
an average yield. Several corre-
spondents point , out, however, that
the Spy is doing better than •any
other of the'.winter varieties. Peeve
may , be ranked as' • fair in quality,
and about an average in yield.
Peaches will ,be a fair crop in the
Western Lake Erie section, but will
hardly do so well in the Niagara dis-
trict. Plums range in yield from an
average to failure, aceording to lo-
cality and care. The c,urculio has
been very active, ancl some of the
crop has rotted before ripening. Cher-
ries have also suffered from rotting
on the tree, ,and: complaints .of black
knot, are also made, but in some of
tbe Western counties this fruit did
very well. Grapes promise a good
yield, Small fruitsas a class did
did well,
GRAZING PROSPECTS.
Pastures and Live Stock.—Pastures
were in prime .condition in the early
part of this season, but fell off about
the second week in July, when the-
-
warm weather began, to dry up the
grass. :However, heavy rains were
falling, as correspondents wrote, and
the prospects were • that pastures
would soon pick up again, Prices
for both cheese and butter have been
most encouraging to, dairymen and
the bulk of correspondents, are ahem.-
ful as to the' outlook for fall and
winter supplies.
Bees and Honey.—Little or no dis-
ease has been reported among bees.
There has been plenty of'swarming
and stocks have been strong and ac-
tive. The average yield, however,
will not go over 50 pounds per hive.
COMPARATIVE ACREAGES.
Acreages and Yields.—The follow-
ing are the crop estimates for 1901,
as judged by appeara.aces on the lst
August. The acreages are final, but

and clover) will be revised from ac-

THE YOUNGEST SOLDIER.
Belongs to the New South Wales
Lancers,
- Trumpeter Roy Clayton Welsh, of
the New South Wales Lancers, is by
some year's the most juvenile hero
bearing arms in defence of the old
flag.
This smart little fellow, a son of
Mr. W. C. Welsh, of Riverview, West
Maitland, N.S.W., though not yet
eight, holds awards for riding, and
has an excellent set up appearance
when mounted upon his charger, the
latter an excellent type of the Aue-
trahan horse,'
When only a little more than a
couple of years of age, young Roy
Welsh courd ride a pony ; after an-
other six months he indulged in
many a brisk canter, whilst at the
age of three years and a half this
astonishingly clever child was decor-
ated with a ribbon for special ex-
cellence in an exhibition of riding at
the ,Maitland horse show. Altogether
lie has won fourteen such badges of
ineri t.
A little more than six months ago
young Roy was appointed supernum-
erary trumpeter to the Maitland
half squadron of Lancers, and ibok
part in the Military Tournament
held in the headquarters' town of
his troop.
During his course of service Roy
Welsh has taken part in a course of
field exercises, camping at night,
and roughing it with the rest of his
comrades. ,
As orderly trumpeter, this gallant
little Lancer is in immediate attend-
ance upon the officer in command,
and often when tile smart Maitland
squadron is going through its field
evolutions, young Roy Welsh may
be seen leading where they follow.

Dodd's Almanac the Means of
Helping Mr. Thomas Barter
Dawn There—Read that Dodd's
Kidney Pills Would Cure Heart
Trouble—Tried them and Prov.
,ed it True.
Cape La I -rune, Nfld., Aug. 19. --
The ovisi, Popular remedy down here
this last' few years is undoubtedly
Dodd's Kidney Pills. It is the only
'oneof the heist advertised which uni-
versally shows that it may- be relied
upon.
Medicines for Heart Trouble have
been advertised before in Newfound-
land but nobody placed any reliance
in them. The troable was' that they
did not act at the root of the mat-
ter—the Kidneys. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are entirely different to any
other treatment for Heart Trouble;
they act on the Kidneys first, and
for that very reason are so success-
ful.,
Mr. Thomas Barter of Cape La
Huila had trouble with his heart for
years, and could find nothing to
help him. But his own words will
better tell the story.
„ "For over six years," writes Mr.
Barter, "I had saffered intensely
with palpitation of the heart and

do anything at all until I saw 11

THERE WAS A LIKENESS,
AFTER ALL. _ "
A Parisian' swell recently had a
crayon picture of himself made,
which he afterwards pretended to
find fault with. .
It does not bear the slightest re-
semblance to me, he said, and I will
not, take it.
The artist protested, but all to no
avail. All right, sir, he remarked,
finally, -if it doesn't look at ail like
you, of course I. can't reasonably ex-
pect to get paid for it.
After the dandy ha,d left the paint-
er added to the portrait a magnifi-
cent pair of ass's ears and exhibited
it in 0 window, thus altered, to the
gaze of the s curious public: ,It had
not been long so exposed wheli the
dandy rushed into the artist's ,studio
in a towering rage, and, finding that
threats amounted' to nothing, .he at
last offered to buy it eVell at a con-
siderable advance upon the original
price.
It wasn't strange you didn't re-

PLANTS CAN SEE.
There is not tile least doubt that
we have yet a great deal to learn
respecting plant life. Ooe scientist
asserts that plants have souls, be-
cause the protoplasm is the same as
that, in animals; and one of the lat-
est theories is that Plants' can see.
Certain plants Stretch themselves
out in search 'of 'support and food 'in
a way that malees the ordinary ob-
server believe that they can see, and
the experience of a correspondent in
connection with a convelvulus lends

Sleeplessness.—When the nerves are un
strung and the whole'body given up to
wretchedness, when the mind is filled
with gloom and dismal forebodings, the
result of derangement of the digestive
organs, sleeplessness comes to add to the
distress. If only the subject could sleep
there would be oblivion for a while and
temporary relief. Parmelee's Vegetable
Pills will not only induce sleep, ,but will
act so beneficially that the subject will
wake refreshed and restored to happiness.
