RESULTS OF TRIAL PLOT:

A. despatch from Ottawa says -Dr.
Saunders, direetor of experimental
farms, has prepared a bulletin giv-
ing the results of a large number of
experiments whica have been con-
• huctecl at all the experimental farms
during the season of 1901 with oats,

corn, turnips, mangels, carrots, sugar
beets, ahd potatoes in plots of
uzti-
furni size and. the crops grown under
uniform conditions. The average re-
sells are also given of six and seven
years' tests on such plots with. var-
ieties oe oats, barley, and spring
wheat, four to seven years with plots
of pease, five to seven years with
plots of Indian corn and potatoes,
five and six years with plots of tur-
nips, mangels, and carrots, and four

beets.
These trial- plots. are 'conductea.

tion as to the relative productive-

'TRADE WITH AFRICA,
Scheme to Get Supply Steamers
to Carry Canadian Goods.
A despatch from Ottawa says :-
Hon. Sidney Fieher is in communica-
tion with the Aden- of getting the
steamers which now convey hay. and
other supplies for the British Gov-
ernment to South Africa, to load up
with Canadian goods for sale in
South Africa. In this way a busi-
ness raight be promoted between
Canada and South Aeries., which in
the course of a Meat time might call
for the establishment of direct
steamship •communication 'between
both countries. Inthe meantime the
United States i8 delving a good
bade between Cape Town' and Ame

It is held that there is no reason
why Canada should not share in this
trade, and that those who ma early
in the field so as to be on hand at
the .close of the war will doubtless
have an opportunity of doing a big
business in that country.. The de-
tails of what is now going on be-
tween the Department of Agr•ieulture
and the Wax Office are not yet ready
for publication..

antleYork. I was greatly pleased, to
notice the hearty reception: given to
their Royal Higlines.ees, in every
part of Ontario, ' which the limittd
time .i.. at their 'disposal permitted.
them to visit, • The gracious manner
in which they received the expres-
sions of loyalty which their presence
evoked and the interest they mani-
fested in every matter pertaining to
the prosperity of tbe preview will,
I trust, strengthen our attachment to
the Empire which • they so woithily
represented, and in which we, as a
province, 'are so ileeply interested.
I congratulate `you on the con-
tinued prosperity of the numbering
industry, which gives emolument to
somanyof our people,' end from
which such a large- part of our re-
venue is derived.
The permanent Crown. forest re-
serves amounting to over a• million
and a half acres, have been carefully

MINING INDUSTRY'S PROGRESS:
The mining industry of -Ontario is
making- steady:. and szitisfactorge-pre-
gross. More eapital and labor are
now being employed in mining opera-
tions than at any previous time, and
the output of the chief mineral pro-
ducts of the province is rapidly and
steadily • increasing in both quantity
and value.
The work of settling the agriceil-
tural lands of the Crown has been
successfully prosecuted during' the
year. Extensive areas have been dis-
posed of to actual settlers, meat of
whom are irom southern Ontario.
It is satisfactory to know thatahose
who leave the older eettlemeets of
the province to obtain homesteads or
employment in newer fields now •re-
alize that thees can find unexcelled
opportunities within our own bound-
aries.
• The adequate carer and maintenance
of the insane of our population still
engages the attention of the Govern-
ment. Additional accommodation
for 150 patients has been furnished
by the completion of the new asylum,
buildings at Cobourge This will re-
lieve, for the time being, the exist-
ing congestion '5f the asylums of
p•rgeirice;- *but I feer , you • will be
again -called upon, at no distant
period, to consider- the edvisabilety
of making further provision for ac-
commodation of the inciaasing nom-
ber of this afflicted class.
• TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
I am glad to learn that very sat-
isfactory progress has, been made in
the promotion of technical education,
and that in several of our towns and
'cities special buildings and suitable
equipment for the purpose have been
generously provided, and also that
the system of travelling _libraries for
the newer parts of the province, for
which provision was media a 'year
ago, has mali with geueral approval.
The compilation of the Imperial
statutes in force in the Province of
Ontario under the provisions of Chap-
ter In., 1t.S.O., has been completed
and embodied in what will consti-
tute Volume HI, of the Revised Sta-

cure the greater mobility which will
be eecessary the use of guns will be

there is no necessity for so many

ENGLISH INSANE.
Expert Urges Prohibition of Con-
eanguineaus Marriages. •
• A ,despatch from London says :-
Increasing insanity, supposedly clue
to consanguineous marriages, re-
sulting in it reduction of population
in numerous rural parishes, is ehe
latest and most disturbing plisse of
the exodus from the country to the
cities of England, .
Physicians a.nd clergymen itt severed
widely separated counties are writing
to the London press urging the Gov-
• erntrieat promptly to attempt to
grapple with the problem. One rec-
tor says that 90 per centof • the
burials in his parish last year were
persons tainted with insanity.
Dr. A. F. Tredgold, Guildford, Sur-
rey, late insanity 4xpert to the Lon-
don County Council, joins in the
outcry against marriage of relatives,
and asserts that the existence of the
country population is at stake. He
suggests that if legislation cannot be
passed prohibiting the union of, per-
sons predisposed to insanity some
means ought to be found for infusing
ereeh blood into the rural disteicts.

Thinks Tide Has Turned.
A despatch ftona Ottawa •says:-
ther 0 are seventy-one cases of small-
pox down at Porter's Island now,
and while this number may be con-
sidered large, it is much below the
figure of a few weeks ago, when over
e. hundred patients were registered,
and cases were springing up every
day at a rate more or less alarming.
The Medican Health Officer thinks
that the worst has now been experi-
enced and that the disease is pretty
well under control. The doctor states
that but for vaccination there
wauld have been it. scourge of the di-
sease in the city, •while, if that
treatment had been more vigorously__
enforced, • the pest would now be
wiped out.
