A despatch to St. Petersburg from
Cunt zuling, the headquarters of the
Russian army in Manchuria, says
that the •Jupuneso aro concentrating

Rivers Tzin, Khoun. and Gotatian,

The Emperor has received the fol-
lowing from Oen. Linevitch: "Ad -

their positions. One detachment in
the Tzino Valley occupied the Vi1-
lagne of Lagovtzt'akzy; another oper-
ated in the direction of Schimiati'y,
and a third dislodged the Japanese
from their position on the south-
ward of Mopeysrhan. The three
Russian columns drove the Japanese
back to their position near Send-
jan."
Gen. Linevitch also reports the re-
pulse of a detachment of Japanese
which was advancing on Kiitujoroii-

CROPS SOWN IN AUTUMN
EXPERIMENTS AT ONTARIO
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Encouraging Results Have Been
Obtained With Various
Grains.
The wheat harvest has been com-
pleted at the Ontario Agricultural
College. The weather conditions of
the past year have been favorable
throughout Ontario for the success-
ful growth of most of the autunn-
sown crops. '1 he brief report here
presented gives' 501110 of the principal
insults of experiments conducted at
the Agricultural College and
throughout the province of Ontario.
Sixty -ono varieties of winter wheat
were grown; in tho experimental de-
partment during the pest year. The
five highest leading kinds wero of
the Dawson's Golden Chaff class,
having beardless heads, red chaff and
white grain. The yields in bushels
of grain por acro of these varieties
were as follows: Abundance, 62.7;

allowed to become very ripe before
it. was cut produced a greater yield
of both grain and straw and a heav-
ier weight of grain per measured
bushel than that produced from
wheat which was cut at any one of
four earlier stages of maturity. In
1897 and again in 190.2, a largo
aflaou..t. of the winter wheat in On-
tario
-tario became sprouted before it was
harvested owing to the wet weather.
Carefully conducted tests showed
that an average of only 76 per cent.
of tho slightly sprouted and 18 per
cent. of the badly sprouted reed
would grow and produce plants.
Surely ho is the wise farther who
will sow none but large. plump,
sound. ripe seed of good vitality.
In each of six years, experiments
have been conducted in treating
winter wheat in different ways 10

butts have been very satisfactory.

50.8 bushels in 1905, and that
which was untreated produced only
46.6 bushels and 43 bushels per acro

thus making an average saving of
nearly 6 bushels per acre. 'rho

yields aro very high and sometimes
they aro very low. The two varie-
ties grown in 1905 gave only 7.2
and 8.7 bushels per acre. Winter
oats are a repeated( failure at the
College. The 4I,tiry of 11 'inter
vett-hes produced an average yield
of 10.2 tons of green crop per acre
in the experiments for four years and
7.6 bushels of seed per acre in rho
tests for live years.
111 the co-operative experiments
conducted throughout Ontario in
1905 under the direction of the Ex-
perimental Union, the varieties of
winter wheat gave the following
average yields in bushels of grain
per acre: Dawson's Golden ('half,
2:3.2, Imperial Anther, 22.2, Michi-
gan Anther, 21.7 , Buda Pesth, 21.1;
