BULLETIN ISSUED BY THE PROVIN- CIAL GOVERNMENT. An Enormous Yield of Apple, lteposted Farm. Operations Generally—'Use of CoL'rl for Live Stock—The Wheat CrOp-- Conditioias or. Labor. The Ontario Bureau of Industries bas issued its sixtieth bulletin, containing the final estimate of the yield of crops for this year 1596. The yields are bas- ed on actual threshing returns report- ed eport ed to the Bureau of Industries by over 2,000 correspondents. The statistics giv- en in the previous bulletin, of August 13th, with the exception of those for hay, were estimated probable yields. The bulletin is as follows:— THE ollows:—THE WHEAT YIELD. Fall Wheat—There are conflicting reports regarding fall wheat, but the. crop may be fairly described as of good quality, although in some localities it was injured while in stacks and in haul- ing, Scattering mention was made of the Hessian fly and .the weevil. The yield per acre is light, being only 17.2 bushels, There bas been considerable; increase in the areas of fall wheat sown this year. Seeding was done. between the latter part of August and the 25th of September, with the soil in favour- able condition, and while many corres- pondents speak of a good showing some. complain that there is -hardly as much top as usual. A few complain of brown spots which in same instances are as- cribed to the hessian fly and in others to lack of rain. Dawson's Golden Chaff. Red Clawson and Manchester appear to be the most popular varieties. Cor- respondents have less than usual to say about spring wheat. While the yield is regarded as almost an average one the grain is hardly as plt'nap as was looked for. OTHER GRAINS. Barley—There was a good yield of barley, but frequent showers at har- vest discolored Inuoh of the crop, In a few instances some of the grain sprouted. However a good deal of ex- cellent barley has been saved: In var- ious portions of the Province oats suf- fered seriously from the attacks of the army worm. The rainy weather at cut- ting was also injurious to late sown oats. Bust and smut were more pre- valent than usual, and much of the grain has turned ,out light in weight, although in some sections the crop may be termed first-class in every re- spect. Comparatively little rye is grown for the grain. There has been an aver- age yield and the grain samples well, While the area has been inoreased. PEAS AND CORN. Peas hardly fulfilled the expectations of August. fn our present advices re- ferences to the " bug," are more fre- quent and considerable mildew, whioh resulted in some of the pods not fully maturing, is also reported. Despite these drawbacks the crop is fully an average one. Early sown turned out best this season. Reports regarding corn vary with local conditions. In dif- ferent pasts of the Province a portion of the crop was caught by frost, and consequently some of that grown for fodder will be injured in its feeding value. Frost did little damage to the ears, but in many instances these are hardly as plump ar as fully matured as usual. The large acreage and the good yield, however, will ensure an abund- ance of fodder both as stover and sil- age. Rain at the time of planting hurt beans on low lands, and wet weather at harvesting also did injury. Some sections, however, report good yields, and the return per acre is about an average. Buckwheat is not a com- mon crop, and reports are not unani- mous as to its condition. What little was grown appears to have done fair- ly, except where the frost appeared while the grainwas filling. A Glen- garry correspondent reports• that grasshoppers damaged the crop. Good fields of clover for seed have been the exception. The poor catch of last yeas and the trying winter have combined to thin the stand, and while there has been a generous growth, of stalk owing to frequent rains since the first cut- ting the heads as a rule did not fill out well. The midge has beenactive, especially in the western part of the Province. Alsike has done better than red clover. THE ROOT CROP. ' In many quarters the crop of pota- toes was affected by drouth at the time of planting,, but a large number of cor- respondents say that potatoes have yielded well and are of good qpality. Rot was common on low -lying -lands, more particularly itt some of the Lake Erie counties. In the Georgian Bay group the potato is spoken of as an excellent one. Dry weather at the time of sowing prevented much of the turnip seed from germinating and the attacks of the grasshopper further thinned the plant on many fields. While some correspon- dents speak of a good yield the ma- jority of the reports are not so fav- orable. The turnips are said to be smaller in size than usual owing to the drouth. These and other roots have been well secured. Correspondents who grow mange's speak' well of the clop, and none of the other field roots have done as well. Had they come up even- ly the yield would have been an enor- mous one, butthe drouth at seeding. told against a successful catch!. As in the case of other field roots the carrot seed did •not';spring up ful- ly on account of dry weather. Many correspondents speak of Shia crop as a good one, while others claim' that it poor. Like rowan 'o1s t 's oro is $ ht p has been almost 'free from insect nests. :FARM OPERATIONS. In many sections falllougliin has 1? g been eompleted, but taking the Pro- vince over, work in this respect is hard- ly as far advanced as at the sande time in previous years. The immense apple crop and the larger area of corn have kept farmers busier than usual this fall, and in the Lake. Erie counties, especi- ally a good deal of fall ploughing had yet to' bee done as reports came in. With the prospects of open weather be- fore , theme correspondents wore of opp inion that more, land than usual would bo turned under this fall. Some com- plained that the soil was rather dry for the best work; others claimed that everything was favorable. Threshing began earlier than usual this year, and at the :time of :report ing a very largeamount of it appear%:. to have been . finished. Very little nnar- kering of gra{�q= asp �,�•, aprge wii'eat 1 0�'p i7.r1 and a fair quantity of peas, but little jy fj R Ej E BRITAIN else.

In some townships a verylarge amount is being put in, .Essex and 1. 'e?rtj as usual taking the lead. There is no scarcity of tile. The work is done prin- cipally by the farmers themselves, with here and there the help of an expert." iiraining machines are not heard of. In the west the zig-zag fence is still being replaced by various kinds of wire fence. There are several favorite kinds of the latter mentioned by correspondents. Considering the many complaints of the state of affairs there appears to be more building going on than would be ex- pected, but the most frequent remark is, "raising barns and puttiug stone foundations under for basement." HELP AND WAGES. There appears to have been plenty of male help, and the tendency of wages has been downward. The farmers have tried as far as lioesible, to do their work within their awn families. In- crease of labor saving maohinery has helped them, The complaint as to scar- oity of domestic help was quite com- mon ; those desirous of that class of work seeking thetowns and cities. Wages for this class of work has been somewhat upward. THE GREAT FRUIT CROP. The remarks in the August bulletin regarding the great yields of apples are verified by the reportsust received. The yield was enormnous, just market is glutted, and in many counties, more especially in western Ontario, thousands of barrels of good apples are going to our Neighbors, Fora$erllr Meld the 'Trade, ltgt Now We Have the Best fart of Is -They Try to Pass Their Cheese for Canadian Make, .A,a t of t trade I heit t de which our ne' iSh- -hours' over the border cannot regard with pride is their exportation of cheese, Here they see a once flourishing branch of commerce hot only checked in its growth, but showing unmistakable signs of decay. 11 it had kept on thriv- ing it might easily, have been of twice the magnitude it is now. The differ- ence between what it is and what it might have been is a subject of vain regrets that find frequent expression in the newspapers of the country. Ef- forts have been made from time to time by the Department of Agriculture at Washington to rouse the cheese indus- try by exposing and Coulmenting on its shortcomings. Considerable attention has been, given to the question by ag- ricultural bodies, dairy- associations, and. Boards of Trade. Every time the cheese industry cis eminded in any of these ways of the great disparity be- tween its promise and performance, it has also the progress of Sha Canadian cheese trade thrown ` up to it, That is logical enough, because the two con- ditions are olosely connected. Our neiglie bours had an immense export trade in England, and now we have THE GREATER PART OF 1T. That is the issue of a competition in waste. The average price per barrel paid farmers is from 40 to 60 cents ; , which the two countries were left en - extra choice bring slightly higher fig- ria� tirely to themselves. The change in prices the grower is usually expected[the relative cheese exports of Canada ures, and poor sorts go lower.

This fact, somewhat mortifying generally are in good condition. Grape to our neighbours, is referred to ee yield of fruit was abundant. vines made a vigorous growth, and t e LIVE STOCK. As the droutb of last summer was very irregular in its distribution the reports as to pasture are varied. In a few townships of the west the grass was short even after the fall rains; in other townships the reports are that fall pasture was never better. In the east it has been good to excellent. On the whole there has been plenty of good pasture. Stock are in good condition, no trouble of any consequence being reported from any quarter. There ap- pears to be plenty of fodder for win- ter feeding, an improvement an a year ago. The reports indicate that market supplies will be fairly abundant, but the universal complaint of low prices is again met with here. The lowest record is 1 1-2o per pound for cattle, live -weight (Renfrew County). Apples have been freely fed to stock, to hogs especially. Millet and rape have turn- ed out well as supplementary crops, but mention is made principally of corn as the most welcome addition to loaders. The effect of instruction is most ap- parent ; farmers are growing their corn in drills in place of broadcast, and are growing the varieties recommended by the officers of the Ontario Experimen- tal Farm and others, who are mak- ing, special study of corn growing. The varieties are numerous ; Mammoth Southern Sweet, Red Cob Ensilage, Compton's Early, Longfellow, etc., are frequently mentioned. Some stock it in the field for winter use ; others dry and stand it on end in the barn,` and many others store it in the silo. In some sections the silo is increasing in number, in others it is being discard- ed—opinions differ as to its being more profitable than dry curing. The acreage of corn is certainly increasing more rapidly than the construction of silos. Till±', DAIRY. Dairying began in the spring of the present year under rather depressing conditions; prives were low. In addi- tion many western districts suffered from short pastures, and the low prices and reduced output of cheese factories caused a. "blue ruin" feeling among many who had hitherto felt that dairy- ing must always boom. Batter produc- tion suffered less than cheese. The east- ern producers appear to have been on the whole, more generally satisfied with results. However, dairy prices, especi- ally in cheese, took an upward move in the fall, and the tone at time of re- porting was much more confident: Ow- ing to increased prices, over 10 cents a pound, many factories were kept open longer than usual. Reports as to the success of butter -making vary with dif- ferent townships, much depending* up- on the local market. Some speak of bet- ter prices in 1896 than in 1895; others of lower. On the whole there appears to have been an improvement in the quality of butter. As usual, corres- pondents differ as to the best dairy cows. "The good old Canadian cow." Durhtim grades and Ayrshire' grades, appear to be the favorites. One man says the " scrub" most surely be the favorite in his township. Very many have strong recommendations for both Jerseys and Holsteins. As for fodder, doe man sums it up by saying, "Corn; is our 'mainstay coign is'all the go." , • The reports as to bees and honey are on the whole' encouraging.

In the year book of the Department of Agriculture just is- sued at 'Washington, Henry E. Al- vord, the Chief of the Dairy Division, refers to the humiliating shifts to which Wisconsin and NOW York cheese mak- ers resort for the purpose of palming off their make an the British market as the product of Canadian factories, Of the 146,004,650 pounds exported from Canada in the fiscal year ending with June 1895, 9,776,322 pounds were from the United States. This, Mr, Alvord suspects, was passed through Canada tbat it might be reexported as of CANADIAN MATTE,. Such fraudulent intent is in the high- est degree complimentary to our cheesemakers. We want no compli- ments of that kind. however, and these attempts to trade under Canadian aus- pices must not be allowed to succeed. So far there is no reason to believe that they have been successful. A law on'. our statute book forbids the use of the word " Canadian " as a mark on the cheese or the package containing it that passes through this country in transit from tile United States. The manufacturers of filled cheese in Wis- consin are shipping their make by way of Montreal this season, and the strict- est precautions will be necessary to pre- vent them evading (this law. If they should be able to land any consider- able quantity of their cheese in Eng- land under representations that it was Made In Canada, the injury to our cheese industryi might be irreparable. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Mr. Fisher will see that the utmost vigilance is exercised to defeat the attempts of the United States cheesemakers to drag the quality and the reputation of Can- adian cheese down to the level of that of their own. Our cheese now com- mands a high price in Britain. It is by all mea.ns necessarythat it should be assured of the continued protection of the law against counterfeits and the protection of the tariff. SAVED FROM DROWNING. Gallant Act of a Miller In Saving a Drowning Girt. The brave work of a miller in sav- ing a little girl from drowning is des- cribed by the Indianapcois Journal. The mill owner and his wife, it appears, had gone to the city, leaving an eight -year - cad girl at Thome. With other chil- dren tale went down to the mill to play, and by- some accident fell into the sluice which feeds the turbine wheel. The head miller heard a scream, and not knowing wlhoat bad happened, ap- plied a brake and stopped the machin- ery. Then he ran Gut„ found the lit- tle girl just disappearing under the water, and in he went after her., Then he found himself in a hard Place. The water was eight feet deep, and he was four , feet below the top of the sluice, the sides of which were as smooth, as a polished floor. The girl was unconscious. How was he to get her out? It took one hand to hdld her head above water, and the other to keep himself from sinking. He must 'try to throw her out, and this, by a great effort, he did. But the rebound drove him under water and against the wheetl loam under water and against the•wheell', where he was in great danger of being caught, and held.
