Lake Erie district were favorable, ae
were thoee from Limo Wentworth,

Ehlevard counties the reporle were not
favorable, In Huron and Bruce coun-
ties the crop wee a complete failure,and
most of it had to be replowed. The
report an fall wheat, clover and rye
was issued yesterday, and that on vege-

report follows:
FALL WHEAT.
The wheat emit in the fall a 1910
entered the winter in exeellent form
all oyer the province, but ite present
eondltions is most variable. In some of
the leading fall wheat eounties it is
described as an absolute failure, while in
others it is regarded as a good crop;
lout, taken as Li whole, it hi much be-
hind the leverage of recent years. Most
of the harm done to the young wheat
was caused by smothetieg from snow,
by ice forming on low-lying undrained
fields, or from the very trying spring
treats when the ground was bare. Sev-
eral correspondents pint out that the
unusually early and heavy fall of snow
m.hich came before the land was frozen,
and which remained for a long time,
was peculiarly trying to rhe tender
wheat, in some instatees practically rot-
ting it. Injury from bleeds was report-
ed in only a few instancea, and these
were not of a serious nature. In those
sections of the province tyltere the crop
was a failure more of it would. have
been plowed upbutfor the fact that it
was meded down with clover, and farm-
ers are anxioue to save the excellent
catch of grass by resowing the patchy
spots with some spring grain—usually
barley. In a number of cases also some
inferior fields of wheat have been left
untouched in the hope that they might
pick up with faveleable weather. Most of
the reports coming from the Lake Erie
JP" district were favorable, while in the
"Counties of Huron and Bruce in the ad-
joining Lake Huron district conditions
were reversed, and a considerable por-
tion, of fail wheat land had to be plowed
up or resoevn. The erop was also „more
or less of a failure in the Georgian Bay
counties. In the West Midland district
wheat on the whole was of fair promise,
and the sante may be said of the Coun-
ties of Lincoln, Wentworth, Halton and
Peel in the Lake Ontario district; but
the other eounties of tine district (York
to Prince Edward) give rather diseour.
aging reports. in the more eastern
parts of the province, where but little
fall wheat- is grown, conditions range
from fair to poor.
CLOVER,
Reports concerning clover are RS- Var-
ied ita those regarding fall wheat, rang-
ing all the way from "good" to "poor.'
Most of the injury has been done on
old fields, and has ,heert caused chiefly
from ice forming on low places, or from
heaving on aceount of spring frosts.
However, but little, clover has, beem
plowen iln and the latest reports speak
of the erep as making a fair reeovery.
Several correspondents point out that
alfalfa has been moth more severely

winter and bpring weather, especially in

ELECTROPLATED PORCELA I N.
The electro-oaanng process by which
glassware is decorated with a network of
silver designs has 2.ecently been extended
in Germany to the plating of porcelain
dishes, such as Matters, bowls, tureens,
and tea and coffee -seta. Vessels thus
treated tire said to wear better than eith-
er simple porcelain or solid silver, being
less fragile than porcelain and less sub-
Jeot to indentation and deformation than

poreelaim and. Is eheaper than plated
silverware. The plating Is usually of sli-
ver, but sometimes of nielrel. in some
cases, instead of covering the entire ves-
sel, the plating is eor.fleed to the hand-
les, knobs and edges, and cooking -pots
are usually left uncovered within, be-

ONE MORE OF THE
PIONEER WOMEN
Tells'her suffering sisters to
find relief in Dodd's Kid -

Mrs. Forrester Had Rheumatism and
Other Kidney Diseasesfor Two
Years, but D'ockl's Kidney Pills
Made Her Well.
Dinsmore, Sask., May 22.—(Special)—
One more of the pioneer women ofSas-
katchowan relieved of pain and suffer-
ing by Dodd's Kidney Pitts, has given her
statement for publication in order that
other suffering women may profit by
her experience. This time it is Mrs. John
Forrester, well known and highly re-
spected in this neighborhood. '
"My trouble started from a severe
cold,' Mrs. Forester states. "My sleep
was broken and unrefreshing. 1 perspir-
ed freely at the slightest exertion. 1 had
pains in my back and Rheumatism devel-
oped, from which I suffered for two
years.
"I do not need to tell you that I was
far from being a well woman when 1
started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. But
now I am thankful to say my troubles
are gone. I recommend all suffering wo-
men to use Dodd's Kidney rills."
Suffering woillen can learn from the
experience of others that the one sute

DID YOU EVER SEE A HORSE LIKE'
THIS?
Some of you girls and boys may
think that thit is a funny -looking
horse, So it is. But hundreds of
thousands of years ago this little ani-
mal lived. Ife was then about the
gee of a collie dog of to -day, with feet
something like a rabbit's. He was not
very strong andthe other animals
preyed on him. He soon learned that
to run away front the large animals
was his only way of living long. This
running Madly developed his lege and
feet, making the lege loug and turning
the four toes into hoofs, As centuries
went by he gradually became sixoneerer
and larger, until at last he appeared as
the horse is to -day.
FRIEND DEAD.
As the cables annoanced at the end of
April, there paseed away in London, in
his 89th year, Mr. Passmore Edwards,
the philanthroplet and journalist, who
gave away nearly all be had to benefit
his fellowmen. Altogether he donated
seventy-two institutions, such as lib-
raries, eta., his last great gift being the
presentation of the Pasernore Edwards
Sailors' Palace to the British %lid For-
eign Sailors' Society, London, for inter-
national headquarters, at a east of $70e
000, talich he regarded as the most satis-
factory deed of his whole life.
. When our present King (then Priem)
of Wales) opened the Palace in 1003,
King Edward offered him it knigbtliood,
as did Queen Victoria before, but he did
not feel that he coulhl accept the honor.
Had he sought honors, no doubt a Peer-
age would have been his. No 'Cornish-
man and no Englishman of our day more
deserved recognition from the Crown.
One honor he would lutve appreciated,
whether accepted or not, namely, the of-
fer of the Citizenship of London. So
high did feeling run during the Boer war
that the vote in the Council went
against hint.
Six Sailors' Institutes on the Atlentic
and Pacific coasts of Canada are associ-
ated with the greet society which bas
lest in Mr. Passmore Edwards a most
generous helper, who ever regarded its
work as art agency of International peace

FRUIT AND OLD AGE.
Physiologists clann that growth from
inhume.- to old age is a prccesz of grad-
ual ossifieation, and that the stiffness
of age is canted by the deposits of cal-
eareous matter or earthly mita. There-
fore, a diet containing a large propor-
tion of thwe salts, food rich iit nitrogen,
such as the (Treats, beans, peas and
meat, increases; the natural tendeney to
ossification, says Health. For this rea-
son it diet made up largely of fruit,
eantalus a minimum amount of
this calcareous matter, ia seientifieally
hest adapted to persons in advancing
year's.
Large eaters add to the liability of os-
sific deposits from overworking the &inn.
hutting organs by an mese oi nutritive
material until their health activity is
destroyed, and the whole system suffers
in eonsequenee. Old age indieates fess

Have you a Lama Back?
If the lameness is due to Lumbago or
Rheumatism: in the muscles the follow-
ing treatment is almost certain to re-
lieve at once. Rub the back and sides
thoroughly with "Nerviline"—the more
rubbing the better. The pain desttoy-
ing properties of Nerviline will sink
througle all the cords and muscles that
are affected—the tension and stiffness
will ease otf—Iameness will depart after
the first or second .application. It is
then advisable to put on a Nerviline
Porous Piaster which will continue to
supply Warmth and protection to the
tender spot. Those who have used this
treatment say it never fails to euro
muscular pain in any part of the body.

THE DISCOVERY OP SIN.
I should like to tell you how this
thing happens. First, the man who
conies to Christ with an evil -conseience
makea surely but surely the startling
discovery of ltie We. He lgarne that
the sin which he hail committed has
been committed against Christ, against
God in Jesus Christ Ilia Son, Do not
think this is something new—the discov-
ery is as old a -e the days of King David.
David perceiteed this; David ;had put it
On record in the utatter,, the atroeious
matter of that sin of his in connee-
Um with Uriah's wife. David found
himself in hell—miserable man as he
was; and there in hell he made thie
discovery of his life, that the sin he had
committed he had commiteed directly
against God. What! you my, against
God 'What of 'Urinal? What of Baths
sheban What of his own body and soul?
Yes, agairet these. but "against Thee,
God, Thee only, have I sinned and dozier
this evil in Thy sight." And. that wee
the truth of it, And a man 'or woman
with a burderied conscience, who to -day
comes to Christ in response to that Molt
tation, will fhid the same thing. Be
will discover he has sinned directly
against God. "What!" says the sinner,
"have I not sinned against my own
body?" Yes, what is your own body?
"Knowest thou not that your body is
the temple of the Holy Ghost," the
temple of God Himself? "What!" you
ray, "have I not sinned &rind these
ehildren, against those helpless ones
about met" What are those children
of yours, what are those ltelplem ones
about you? Christ says: "Ire that of-
fendeth against one of the little ones
offendatit against Me,"
And when a men halt made this .dis-
covery he is filled with a sense of awe
and fear; he recognizes that he has
struck at Christ; and then- this dia-
covery of what he has dons twinge him
an overflowing comfort and blessed
hope. How, you say, can that thing beet
It will tell you: it simplifiel the matter,
it coneentrates the problem; it brings
the whole weary business to a single
point, He recognizes his sin- has been
brought within a definite compass, and
he recognizes that what be has done
is, be has shined against one divine soul;
and lie is filled with joy because he
hears singing in his, heart theblessed
good hews that Christ is ready, and alga
and willing to flood him with forgive-
( nem; to take him up and redeem him,
anti send hid on his way rejoicing. Who -
never confesseth: if you confess your
sins he is able and willing to forgave
you your sine and cleanse you from
alt unrighteousness. Lloyd Scott, Glas-
gow.

DISCORD.
Is there an opposing Ma88 set over
against thee? If it could do thee no
hurt, there was no reason brought for
thy fighting with it. And yet thou art
a man of war. 'Why? Thou cut over
all things to thy church, for thy church.
Thou art for defence. Rocks, mountains,
frozen north, are thy great' munitions.
Who can stand before thy cold; who
can lay seige to thy mountains; what
mighty waves can cause thy reeks to dis-
appear? Who is God like unto thee?
God is our Defence; we are not greatly
moved. He is our Proteetional He is
our Protector!
But thy power is aggressive. The
war is earried into theienemyts country._
Rule thou in the midst of thine ene-
mies. The strongholds of the enemy are
being pulled down. Seeds of decay are
sown by beneficent friends; they gert
nunate, they grow, they shatter.
How migbty is the light, how swift,
how silent, how subduing. Light is the
garment of God. Thy word is light. Thy
presence is light. Thy light is the life
of men. How mighty 18 the moisture of
the earth, responding to the prayer of
the trees, the gratis, the blades of grain,
and flowers that adorn the ground, the
glory of the summer time. How mighty
is the dew, the small rain on the tender

freshing, nOW mighty is the breath of
God. Man hes a double nature. He
is from the earth; he is from heaven.
