HOW THE CROPS OF ONTARIO ARE LOOKING JUST NOW. e The Department of Agriculture Deets 'With the tate of Fauna Sapplies, Labor and Wages Prospects of Live Stock and Their I'rodaaets-Tire Fall Wheat Crop. and Indications of Clover, Fruit and Vegetables. The Ontario Department of Agricul- ture has issued the following lengthy spring crop bulletin: • POOR FALL WHEAT CROP. Fa11 \icheat.—In the Crop Bulletin of November, 1895, the new fall wheat crop was reported as follows: "In- creased acreage; fair condition." There has not been for many years so un- favorable a report as we have just re- ceived. The large majority of our cor- respondents report extensive destruc-• tion by freezing from ice forming on the bare fields. The loss is much heav- ier on clay than on light soils. A large amount will be plowed up or resowa to spring grain. The reports from the townships along Lakes Erie and Ontario, from Windsor to Kings- ton, are with very few exceptions of a most unfavorable nature. In Huron, Grey and part of Simeoe the general report is "thin and patchy." The most favorable reports come from a :range of townships beginning in Lamb - ton and running east through parts of Middlesex, Perth, Oxford, Welling- ton, Dufferiu and South Simooe. Putt- ing the very best construction upon the reports; the general condition at present can be summed up ae, poor condition with reduced aoreage. CLOVER OUTLOOK FAIR, Clover.—The red clover made a poor catch in the spring of 1895. The drought of last summer in the west was an- other setback. Consequently, it went into the winter in rather poor condi- tion. There was considerable freezing out during the winter and spring, and the present reports are quite unfavor- able, Some say that it. is becoming more and more difficult to grow red clover, and others go even as far as to say that the day of red clover is past in Ontario. The worst reports are from the west. The reports from the St. Lawrence and Ottawa and from the East Midland counties are, on the whole, quite favorable. VERY EARLY VEGETATION. Vegetation.—The remarkable earli- ness of the browing season is alluded to by nearly every correspondent, some of whom say chat they do not remem- ber vegetation being as far forward on the last of April in 30 tier 40 years. The stage of growth is placed at from one to three weeks in advance of the average season. In most localities cat- tle had been turned out to grass, for - eat trees were getting well into leaf and wild piums were m blossom, while in orchards m different sections peach- es, apricots, and even apples, were in bloom. In Pelee Island peaches and plums were in flower on the 24th of April. HORSES. Live Stook.—Considering the pros- pects when correspondents wrote in November, the condition of live stock in the spring is a cause for congratu- lation. The animals were put in win- ter quarters with very limited stores, respondents lean to the conclusion that as the bay crop had been a compara- tive failure, yet with wise and care- ful feeding the bulk of live stook have got on the early grass in a fair condi- tion ondition of health, althougb as a rule thinner than usual. In some localities hay was imported. from Quebec and from the more favored portions of our own Province, but the remarks of cor- the larger use of straw, corn, grain and roots as a supplement to, and in some instances as a substitute for, hay has taught farmers a valuable lesson in the economy of the manger. Horses have come through the winter perhaps better than any other class of live stook, although in certain local- ities some suffered from starvation, or, as some correspondents term it, "fodder hunger." in many sections straw and oats were their general fare, hay being at a premium and bedding very scarce. CATTLE, SHEEP, ETC. Horned,cattleare notpoor rin ascon- dition n dition as might be expected, nd with the exception of a few minor cases of sickness, and some cases of "lump jaw" in the Townships of Keppel, Sul - wen, Sydenham and Amaranth, they are remarkably free from disease. In some quarters, but more especially in the counties of Bruce and Grey, many cattle had barely enough to support life, and there was Hardly enough bedding to keep them comfortable and clean, but taking the Province as a whole the general condition of both dairy and beefing stock is most en- couraging. Sheep are in a good state of health generally, only a few cases of liver disease and grub in the head being reported, and the ewes are said to be dropping fine lambs. Swine are freer from disease than usual, al- though a few cases of paralysis were spoken of. The low price of pork, however, is most discouraging to hog raisers. Regarding the supply of hay for live • stock during the winter, and the ten- dency of . farmers to hold for a rise in price, some correspondents state that a few of their .neighbors who re- fused to sell hay at $12 and $14 a ton in 'the winter are now willing to dis- pose of it at $8' or $9 as ton. FARM SUPPLIES .PLENTIFUL: Farm Supplies Except _where farm - prices there is a scarcity of that ax - dole, the effect of which. however, has been discounted by the generous pas- turage already. afforded by the advanc- ed stage of -the growing season. There is still an abundance of oats on hand, even though this grain was freely fed during the winter, owing to the low price offered for it. Wheat Is said to be rather scarce, although some cor- respondents . aver. that $1.a bushel would bring out a surprisingly large quantity. Fat cattle are to . be found in much larger numbers than might be expected from the searcit of . fod- der. and store cattle are sufficient to. meet the demand. The earliness of the areas has materially lessened the drain on the fodder, supply, and owners of beeves have thereby been reliev- ed of much anxiety. 'TOO MANY FARM HANDS, Farm . Labor. -The general report is that there are more farm hands offer- ing fox work than are required, ' and that wages :are low. Many reasons are h e . given, such as e increased use, of machinery, the decreased demand for labor in other callings, the necessity of economy owing .:to continued low prices, and the fact, frequently stat- ed, that cheap labor, though inferior, has displaced some of the regular la- bor. Afany farmers report that they intend trying this year to do all their work within their own families. There is, however, a fair demand for first - eta -es female domestics, SEIZURE AT CHEEFOO. Report Tient Russia Ras Grabbed British Territory—fro Information in Posses. stun of British Authorities.. A despatch from Shanghai to a Lon- don news agency says that the Rus- sians, through the medium of American Agent Smith, have taken possession of the disputed territory of Ghee Foo, over which the British maintain claims. The despatch says that six Russian warships and four United States warships are ly- ing at Chee Foo. A despatch from Shanghai to The Globe confirms the news agency ad- vices that the Russians have taken Possession of the disputed territory of Chee Foo. The despatch adds that the seizure was made in defiance of Eng- land's legal rights. The ascertained facts of the Che Foo affair, in which the Russians are represented as having seized the disputed territory upon wbioh Eng- land had a claim, are these:—The Rus - Sian Steam Navigation Co. secured a tract of foreshore belonging to the English firm of Fergusson at Che iron and proposed to build a pier thereon. Other firms objected to the Russian, company having possession, whereupon the Russian Government intervened and compelled the Chinese authorities to ac- cede to the full transfer of the property to the Russian company. The Globe, in a special article on the subject, says that England is bound to regard the affair as an unfriendly act and that the result will be awaited with the greatest anxiety. The Government has not received any information that Russia has seized Eng- lish territory at Cba ;Poo, and the au- thorities say that they will be greatly surprised if Russia has really taken such an aggressive step. A later despatch from Shanghai says the land seized by the Russians at Che Foo comprised part of the Brit - was secured by the Russian Steam Na- ish concession of that place.

"I believe the death -knell of wooden and metal skates has been rung," said one of the largest skate manufacturers to an English reporter. "Several prac- tical inventors ]lave been experiment- ing on those articles for years past, and the latest result is a skate made of glass, hardened by a recently discovered process to the consistency of steel. The entire skate is of this substance, the upper part resembling a slipper, open behind with a split leather 'lace -up' heel -cap. "Among several advantages stated are that they are much faster than steel blades and so extremely slippery that they will run almost equally well over rough, snow covered ice as upon smooth, and also glide easily over inequalities, broken twigs and other obstructions. They are made very sharp, and, owing to their extreme hardness, it is impos- sible to blunt them; and, unlike steel skates, they never want grinding, and cannot rust. "The crystal skates are really beauti- ful in appeas'ance, being nearly trans- parent ; the substance has, also, while in the liquid state, been variously color- ed, They have already been privately tested. A famous skating champion recently tried a pair at the Niagara Ire Rink, using mahogany -colored ones, to avoid attracting notice, the time being hardly ripe for exhibition. A private trial has also been made in Paris at an ice rink exclusively hired for the occas- ion, several ladies—among them a cele- • brated lady continental skater—taking part; their skates were colored blue, orimson, brown, etc., to match their cos- tumes."

Never keep a poor cow She, is a continual source of loss, cost- ing in care and. food as much as a good milker besides perpetuating her species It is rarely possible in the beginning to have every cow a choice one, but it is possible to improve a herd. The sire should be of the beat breed and of indi- vidual merit. Of great importance is testing the quality of the milk. Now that a simple, reliable, cheap machine Jams been given to . the world, there Is no reason why every dairy farmer should not avail himself of this effeet- uel means of raising the productive standard of his cows. Therefore buy a tester, learn how to use it and per- sist until every cow in your herd has been proven profitable or unprofitable. When this knowledge is obtained it is easy to select the best heifer calves, a few of which, at least, should be raised each year, not only to fill vacancies which are liable to occur, but because as the value of the milk test becomes better known, the owners of good cows. will not readily sell their best except- ing at greatly advanced prices. The calves should have the best of care. Feed the mother's milk for a few days, gradually substituting sweet separator or skim milk warmed to 98 deg. Three or four quarts of milk with a tablespoonful of oilmeal added, twice a day, ID a generous feed for the aver- age sized calf. As the calf grows older, bran, oats and good clover hay may be added to its rations, always using great care not to give too much milk, as an the wheat is moist perfectly developed. At the tithe of heading go through this part of the field repeatedly, removing heads of smut, shess or cheat, rye and other impurities, including other eerie- ties of wheat than the one desired for ' seed. (2) Harvest and thresh the wheat on this portion of the . field by itself, taking great care to have the threshing machine thoroughly: clee,ned before threshing. Do not save the first few bushels cooling through the 'ma- chine, as it will i.e more or less mixed with other seed. (3) Screen and re- screen the threshed seed, running it very slowly through the fanning mill with a strong blast so as to remove all small, broken or light kernels. (4) • I£ there is any stinking smuit or bunt whatever on the farm, treat the screen- ed seed with water .heaited to 130 or 135 deg. F. Immerse the seed five minutes in the hot water, then spread out thinly in the open air and sunlight and dry as quickly as possible. (5) After dry. ing, put in new sacks or those that have been scalded in boiling water, so as to destroy any adhering germs of smut, and tie up the sacks until ready for use. (6) See that the drill is thoroughly cleaned and dusted to remove any smut gereastl tit it, ccontain. (7) Drill the good ground that has not produced wheat for two or more years. If the foregoing precau- tions' are carefully observed and the wheat ground receives generous treat- ment, there trill be little, if any dif- ficulty in maintaining the excellence of the wheat arum year to year. The writer Ls of the opinion that. after a suitable variety has been. selected it may be grown auccessfnlly on the same ground for many years without de- terioration. If these precautions were carefully observed farriers might be saved thousands of dollars which :bre expended annually in the purchase of new and untried seeds, many of which wiorill meberit. found to have little or no super - excessive amount causes scours. The calf should be grown with the idea of developing a healthy, robust animal. but not a fat one. The pens where they are kept should be clean, warm and dry. In these days of keen competition and narrow margins, no dairyman can afford to shelter his cows on the south side of a straw stack or in the corners of a rail fence. Comfortable well lighted and ventilated stables are a necessity ; such need not be costly. The+ old style rigid stanchion is fast being displaced for fastenings that afford more freedom. Cows should have an abundance of bedding. and tine devoted to brushing and carding is well spent. There is much diversity of opinion re- gar.ling the amount of exeroi e a cow should take during the stabling months. It is well to tura the cows In protected lots for a few tours every day, when stormy or damp chilling winds do nut prevail. However, they should be watehed end not allocved to beceine tired or restless, or to lie down on the wet ground, the latter being an al- most unfailing cause of garget. The dairyman must have good and cheap food, hence it is all important that he raise as muoh as possible 011 the farm, with enough surplus to exchange for things bis farm does not produce, such as cotton seed, oil meal, etc. A cow fresh in the fall or winter, giving a full flow of milk, requires from 8 to 14 pounds per day of grain, and all the clover hay, corn fodder and straw that she will eat. A good average ration to every 1000 lbs. live weight is four pounds bran, four pounds corn meal, two pounds oat meal, two of oil meal, with the roughage mentioned. The formulas given by our experiment sta- tions are useful and aid to a better system. of feeding, but. the careful, painstaking dairyman will never permit them to supplant his judgment, COWS cannot all be fed by the same rule. While each cow should be given all she can eat and digest, the individuals of a herd will be found to vary consider- abl • in the quantity and proportions of the rations required. It is a miser- able mistake to underfeed a cow. Bear in mind that the dairyman's profit conies from the food taken in excess of that required for the cow's support. If the pasture becomes dry in the latter part of the season, feed the green sec- ond crop of clover or fodder corn. In brief, see that the cow has the right kind of food at all times and does not have to waste am strength in getting Lt. Pure water at the right temperature is another important factor in profit- able dairying. A cow will not go to a stream or Pond, stick her nose through a hole in the ice and drink contentedly and sufficiently. It is cheaper to pumpwaterfrom f om a well, or to heat water with wood or coal, than it is to heat it with grain, which the cow consumes and which should be used in the production of milk. There are several reasons for having cows fresh in the fall. A cow fresh in September or October will give a greater annual flow of milk than one fresh in the spring, for the grass stimu- lates the winter milker, while the cold weather in the fall tends to dry the cow that was fresh in spring. Then, the demand for choice butter in winter is more active and prices are usually higher. Again, by this system, the farm work is more evenly distributed, necessitating the least milking during the busiest months. Finally, the moral effect on the fernier is good, as the duties of milking time compel him to desert his perch in the village grocery, , discontinue his idle gossip and betake himself to his home. Profits of the year depend largely on the treatment of the cow just before and after calving. Previous to this period, the great attention should be given to the general condition and health, seeking by generous and pro- per feeding to make the cow strong and thrifty. After calving, the herdsman's skill is taxed to the utmost. The cow should have heir liberty in a roomy comfortable box stall. All water should be given in small quantities, with the chill taken off. If her tem- perature becomes too high, give ten drops of aconite twice a day. Milk often the first day but never draw all the milk at these makings. SELECTING SEND WHEAT. The impoirtance of sound; pure seed is being realized more and more by farmers. Common experience. and the experiment stations have shown that there is not only a great difference in varieties but a considerable difference in the vitality of seed of the same vari- ety. This applies especially to seed corn, butit is true of other seeds as well, The variety of wheat that .bas given the best satisfaction in the neighborhood for a Series of years should be chosen rather than some novelty which is of doubtful merit: Having decided upon the variety the process of selecting g seed wheat should begin with the standing grain.

A Wonderful Specific in All Cases of Indigestion, Dyspepsia. flick headache, Nervousness and General Debility. Has No Equal as a Spring Medicine. There is a ;treat deal of uncertainty in the methods adopted to remove dis- ease. doctors are not free from this kind of thing themselves. The poor pa- tient lens to put up with a good deal of experimenting. The discoverer of South Amcrie to Nervire takes too serious a view lifeplay of to plc y pranks of this kind. He does not think that these human bodies of ours should be fooled with. He has recognized that they are subject to disease, hut, by seientiflc methods. he has learned that jest as the watch is to be. pn t in perfect repair only when the main -spring is kept in running order, so with tbo individual, he remains in per- fect health only when the nerve centres are kept healthful and strong. What disease is more distressing than indigestion or dyspepsia? Some simple remedy may be given to cause relief for the moment. Nervine is an indisputably successful remedy for the worst cases of iridfg..tfon, because it reaches the source of all stomach troubles—the nerve een- ties. Indigestion exists beans the vital forces have be"tptce diseased and are weakened. Neriine builds up the nerve centres, from which come these forces, removes ibe causes of indiges- tion, and then builds up the health com- pletely. etely. How many systems are run down through nervousness. A stimulant may give ease, lint it will not cure nervous troubles. Nervine has cured more des- perate cases of nervousness than any other medicine anywhere. And it does so for the name reason that it cures in- digestion. The nerve centres are de- ranged, or there would be no victims of nervousness. Nervine rebuilds and strengthens the nerve tissues, and hence its marvellous powers in diseases of this kind. In the spring of the year the strong- est suffer from general debility. The blood, through neglect, has become im- poverished, and the whole system gets out of order. We speak of it as a spring medicine. Nervine restores the exhausted vital forced that have led to this tired, don't -care, played -out, miser- able condition. No one can take a bot tle of Nervine at this season of the year without disease quickly giving way to abounding health. The moral is plain, simple and readily understood. If you would not trifle with disease, there yon will take South Amer- ican Nervine, which will not trifle with you. C. LUTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail. Agent for Exeter. Trios.
