BE CAREFUL WHAT You SIGN.—HOD e.

Through misfortune, siokneee or morality
the reeler of the note has failed to meet

There. is a fine quality of bravery in the
way some of these men fan the situation
and work out the hot dollar in order to
save their honor, but the wife and child-
ren may Buffer long before the debt is
satisfied. It is bard for some men to re.
fuse this endorsement for a friend, yet it
to always a flaky thing to do. We wish
that a endden attack of pen palsy might
strike most of our friends when they are

MAY OUTLOOK FOR
ONTARIO'S OROP.
The May Bullebio, about to be leaned
by the °uteri° Department of Agrioul•
lure, will oontain the following regarding
crop oonditioue on the lob of May, 1003 :
Fall Wheat—Reports just to hand are
practically unattimoos regarding the
general condition of the orop. In moat
instances it bas oome through the Winter
mellowed, only a few oomplaints being
made of injury from 001010 or toe, except
in Bonn fenoe corners here and there, A
few eoreespondente make mention of
patohy spots, bot it le ode to say that
much lees Fall wheat will be ploughed
up this Spring then is usually done. No
one portion of the Provinoe appears to
have been more favored than another in
this regard, Taking it altogether Fall
wheat nuty now be described as promieing
to be from hair to good, more eepeoially
as only the fainteet mention has been
made of the Heeelan fly, which for the
p001 few yenre has been the 006130 01

Olover—The greater part of those re-
porting speak of the amp a, ehowing
exoellent protein, meadowe having a
good, thick bottom, even though Spring
growth has been baokward. Tho pros.
peote for clover are particularly bright
in the Weetern half 01 the Peovinoe.
Vegetortioe—Notwithetancling the fort
that the enow dieappsared early and that
warm weethet in March gave promise of
advanced vegetetion, the told and usually
dry weather prevailing in April retarded
the growth to such a degree that oondi.

SEEDING WELL ADVANCIED,
Spring Seeding—The bulk of the re-
ports are to the effect that seeding was
well udvanoed by the end of April, many
being through with the work, while a few
were only beginning. While from 00120
plain of the soil being hard and moth -
able for Spring work, a mush larger
number desoribe the seed•hed ae being in
the best possible coodition. The least
favorable reporte concerning the extent
and quality of seeding nom from the
oountiee forming the Niagara Peninenla.
0008 STOOK OUTLOOR GOOD. •
Live Stook—Taken altogether, the
outlook for live otoolc may be planed as
good. Distemper appeared among hoeing
in varion parts of the Proviuoe, but
hardly in eaten:lout degree to bo csoneid•
ered epidemic, In fain, some oorrespood
ente attribute math of the trouble among
this and otber Owes of live stook to the
poor quality of hay, a great deal of which
was badly onred owing to the wet Sum-
mer. Cattle, are reported to be a trifle
thin, but h.althy, and have suffered little
from any form of disease.
OONSIDERABLE WHEAT ON HAND,
Farm Supplies—There ie o good quart•
City of hay on hand in most localities but
much of it is of inferior quality owing to
the wet weather of last Summer. A fair
quantity of oats is also reported to to in
farmer& hands, although mach of this
will also yet be fed. While a largo nntn.
ber of o•nrespontlents report a consider
able supply of wheat, a number of others
deem that most of it will be turned into
beef and pork, more opeoielly as some of
the grain ie soft, owing to the rainy
centime prevailing at harvest. 71 10 gate
to eay, however, that good prioea wouid
bring ont a liberal quantity of marketable
hay and wheat, The reports regarding
cattle for sale are varied. There are
hardly 00 memy store cattle on hand ae
anal, one noon of a most suggestive
nature being that a lot of our young
mineale, are now being sent to the
ranches in the Nortbwest. With ship -
meets of cattle being made in both East
and West, the prospects for cattle raisiug
he Ontario are oertaiuly enuring.
OROHARDS WINTERED WELL.
Fruit Trees—Oroharde have come
through the Winter ha sentient order,
so far as weather conditions are oonciern•
ad, no injury from severe frosts or in•
storms being reported. Tire only damage
to fruit treebetween November and
April was caused by a plume of field
min, which tipper to be working ateadily
Weetward, the oentre of operations now
being in the Lake Ontario oouutios, while
a year ago they were most hurtful
oomplaints West of York, while this
Spring referenoe is made to their pres-
ence by oorreepoudeuts in portions of
iiiimooe, Grey, Perth, Middlesex and
Haldimand. Thousands of valuable train
trees have been girdled by these pests,
and some correspondents regard their
operations as a melon menan to fruit
culture. Heavy frosts occurred Mont
the close of April and the beginning of
May, but fortunately the bulk of fruit
were not sufficiently advanced in bud to
be much iejured. Owing to the bitch
tendons of bloseomieg on the 1st of Iley,
it wee then difficult to eetimate the
extent of "bloom," and the promise of
the general yield. It wee the opinion of
several oorreepondente, however, that
atone fruits, snots as oherries, plume and
Tear:Ilea, would be relatively better in
yield than apples and peara. Small
fruits give promise of an cotenant yield,
