Such was •the statement of Hugh

from a trip to Pilat Mound, and the
foregoing was the eoncleeion he came

seems to be that atanitoeuee harvest

extent that farmers will be unable
to do fall plowing, or make any pre-
parations • for next year's seeding.
This is a calamity which the Mani-
toba. officials are trying to avert.
Mr. McKellar said that the recent
rains had delaye'd stacking to 501110
extent, but not cutting, arid as a.
consequence those who were behind
in getting their binders to work are
up to the mote fortheate mice who

ON EXPERIIVIENTAL FARMS.
Director States That Crops Show
a High Average.
An Ottawa despatch saes :-Dr.
William Saunders, director of ;the
Experimental Farms, has returned
from his annual tours of investiga-
tion in the West.' During his absence
he has inspected and arranged the
work of the Western Experhneatal
Fame and made many inquiries as
'to the general condition of agricul-
ture le the Western parte of the
Dominion. The crop& on the Experi-
mental Farm at Breeden are very
good. The yields of Wheat and other
cereals will be considerably above
the average. Peas, Indian corn,
recite and potalees else promise ex-
cellent retunia The grain crops
were nearly all cut en the Brandon
farm whcn the director left there on
Monday last. The hay 'crop had also
been good, and hadagiven from 2 to
24 tons per acre. At the old of last
week it " Was estbilated that two-
thirds of the entire wheat, crop of
Manitoba had been 'cut. Dr, Saund-
• ers thinks that the Manitoba crop
Will average a little higher than last

Mr. Alston reports that there is con-
siderable proSpeeting work going on

He speaks most enthusiastically Of
the prospects; and declares that ere
long Manitou will 00 the "Rand" of
Ontario, with a_ rich permanent fu-
ture aimed 'of it. The gold is found
in free, mining quertz. That it is
there in paYine quantitiee is em-
phasized by the fact whith Mr.
Alston cites, that one company

Although juat new capital is not
