British Agriculture
A •report upon the agricultural
condition ot Cambridgeshire, the
•result of investigations made by
Mr. Wilson Fox. assistant com-
missioner to the Royal Commission
on Agriculture, has recently been
presented to the British Par-
liament. Agricultural depression
began between 1873 and 1879,
caused first by wet seasons and
then by a decline of prices.
Although only about 1,200 acres
of land is actually abandoned in
the Shire, much heavy and very
light laud, it is said, must shortly
go out of cultivation if present
prices continue. In demonstration
of the fall in cereals, a farmer near
Si. Ives states that the produce
required to pay ,c roo in gold in
1873. was 331/2 quarters of wheat
and so quarters of barley, while in
1894, io3 quarters ot wheat and
xis quarters of barley were requir-
ed. Details of the prices of sheep,
wool and cattle all show how
serious must be the eftects of the
depreciation upon farmers. The
• position of land owners is perhaps
more deplorable than even that of
the occupiers, for in this country
they are not ;capitalists with other
resources to draw upon. Rent is
enormously reduced and in many
cases in arrear ; the freehold value
of theland has fallen something
• like 70 per cent., and at no sacrifice
can it be gotrid of, and much in
South Cambridgeshire is either
being farmed by the owners or it is
ping out of cultivation. Expend-
ature on repairs must naturally be
• largely curtailed, and how unremu-
• nerative such investment must be
a illustrated by the fact that the
Duke of Bedford's annual out
goings for the last 22 years on his
estate of 23,000 acres represent
7o.6'per cent, of the average rent
without deducting income tax.
Amongst farmers, the yeomen,
most of whom are mortgaged, are
in the greatest straights. Many of
the tenant farmers in the South
have been ruined, and others are
just managing to live, hoping for
better times. Sheep farmers who
have lost their capital have been
obliged to give up farming, and in
many instances celebrated flocks
have been sold. In short, so dis-
astrous have the effects of the
depression been that, in the words
of the Report, "many farmers are
in the present, leading a life over
shadowed by the deepest anxiety,
• and no siTyer lining to the cloud
can be seen on the borizon."
Our Reform friends claim that
our importations would be largely
• increased by the adoption of "Free
Trade as it is in England," But
• what does this mean to the Can-
adian people ? Increase itnport-
atton of articles we make in Can-
ada means diminished production
•. in Canada. It cannot mean any.
•thing else ; and ditnimshed ern-
•May/ilea to our Canadian labor,
and diminished wages to those who
are employed.

the crop of theNorth-West. He con-
siders that the estimate of twenty
million bushels ofthe best wheat is
well within the naa,rk, and that there
is about the same quantity of slightly
damaged wheat.
Premier Greenway estimates the
Manitoba wheat crop this year at
twenty inillions good wheat ten mil-
lions of lower grade but still market-
able, and five millions of feed wheat.
He thinks there will be twenty mil-
lion bushels of oats and six millions
of barley for export, or &total of at
least sixty million bushels of grain
for 1895.
The exports. from the port of
Windsor to the United States for the
quarter ending Sept. 30 amounted to
$207,057.79, as compared with 5211,-
277 for the same period of last year.
The prineipal item was wiskey,which
footed np ,$45,505, or nearly one
emarter of the total export. Tobacco
cut a very insignificant -figure, the
total export amounting to only $6.-
627. Elm logs a,ecoonted for $27,520,
staves $24,268, lumber 516,863 and
cedar ties $10,048, showing that the
'exports from this section of Canada
consist chiefly of whisky anti wood.

The Granton Fair.
The annual fall fair of the Biddulph
Agricultural Society, was held in Granton
on Tuesday and • Wednesday last. The
weather was propitious and the exhibits
were far ahead of any previous year, but
the moist important function was lacking,
that of the crowd. The attendance was
limited, and the large number of prizea
taken will cripple the society somewhat,
though we trust they can manage to
come out on top. The class of exhibits in
animas was ahead of former years, and
competition was keen. The show of
roots and vegetables was grand. while
that of ladies' work was up to •former
years. The outdoor exhibits were large,
every class beiug filled. Following is the
prize list • HORSES. -HEAVY DRAUGHT.— Span,

WORTHY VOCE CoNFIPENCE.
The success of Hood s Sarsaparilla in
conquering scrofula in whatever way it
many manifest itself is vouched for. •
by'
tbouaands who were severely afflicted by
this prevalent disease, but who now re-
joice over a permanent mire by Hood's
Sarsaparilla. Scrofula may appear as a
humor, or it may attack the glands of the
neck, or break out in dreadful running
sores on the body or limbs. Attacking _
the mucous membrane, it may develop in --
to catarrh or lodging in the lungs lead to
consumption. Come as It my, a faithful.,
course of treatment with Hootra Sarsap-
arilla will oyeroome it, for working upon
the foundation of all diseases, impure
blood, the system is clarified and vitalized,
and vigor, strength and health restored
to the body.
Mr. AL Beckwith of Clinton bas •
posed of his bakery business to Mr. Xing.
of Wingham.
Confusion as to the choice of a blood -
purifier is unnecessary. There is but one
best SarSaparilla, and that is Ayer's. Tide'
important feet was reoognized at the.
World's Fair, Chicago, 1893,, being the
only blood -purifier admitted to be placed
on exhibition.
John Snell, of Kinburn, hoe two apple -
trees sthioh are now loaded with blossoms.
They seem to be oorning at the wrong end

of the year, and t s not often that nature '
makes mistakes of this kin&
Benefite are too soon forg'Otton.

ione at all and yet it hag all the effect
