A Toronto despatch says: The re - Port of the San Jose Scale Commis- sion with reference to the recent ex- periments by Inspector Fisher, near Grimsby, has been received by Hon. John Thereon. The coramiseionerm Dr. James Mills of Guelph, W. H. Denting of St, Catharines and John Dearness of London, express groat seedsfaction at the results achieved by Mr. Fishier. Ono remedy, the kerosene- emulsimi, is intended for U00 in the sum -nee -July, August and September -when the leaves ar0. on, and the other, the mixture of limo and • sulphur, is intended • for winter, in lactiele or April, when the trees are bare. Tn each case Sev- eral different trials were made, by varying the proportions of the in- gredients. The ,commissioners, how - 'ever, found the following to give the best results: For summer, one part of coal oil to six parts of water, emulsified with whale oil soap, in tho proportion of one-half pound per gallon of oil. Almost, equally good results have been obtained Irom treatment with an emulsion of crude petroleum. Thebest mixture found for the winter was 30 pounds of with 15 pounds of sulphur, in water sufficient to make a total of op gallons. In concluding their re- port the commissioners congratulate the efildefer of Agriculture cm the results of these experiments, 'and ex- press the hope that by their . con- tinued use from year to year the Province may be rid of 'the scale in a short time.

Divided Into Four Classes: Breed- ing Types and Implements, Lo- cal, Fat Stock and Specific. A private letter Iron:1,21r, W. A. MacKinnon, Chief of the Fruit Di- vieion, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, who is now in 'Groat Bri- tain, contains some interesting notes on the development of Agricultural shows in that -country. Sonic of his criticisms geven herewith are well woethy of notice by those interested. in agricultural °detention in Canada.1 'One striking feature of tbe recent . Royal Show ut Carlisle, Eng., , was that all but two or three of the buildings'were simply frames covered with canvas, in other words, tbe show took place under it series of long tents. Tl e advantage of this system is that the framework can be taken down ancl the tenth se -lip- ped from point to point, and used many times in the seasom This arrangement also melees it possible to USO grounds for no exhibition which are requireci during the rest of tho year for another purpose, nem tents aro arranged in a com- pact and systematic order in such a, way that visitors can go he ono direction and roturn III another, sning always, new exhibits. Teo classes are at•ranged in blocks, NOT 115 LONG LINES, "There are four classes of agricul- tural shows in Clrezet Britain: (1) The large Shows devoted te breeding types and implements; them ere epee to the Kingdom; (2) local shows, for thebenefit of tenant farmers and breeders in the neighborhood; there may be certain open competition0 in these, and the addition of seceions for horticulture, apicultore, Octets, ole,, is optional; (8)•15at Stocic stows for the encouregement of the pro- clectiote of high-elnee butchers,' meat, The °Meg ones aro bold at Sliming - ham, :Leeds arta NOXWfdt; the finals so 1.0 speak, where the wannees in the three former compete take place at the groat Smithfield show; (4) Spe- cific Shows, These tire held for the benefit 04 One Or more parLieutaa b-renthee el egrieultere, eileh tee dairying, Melts, poultry, 1101,008, ate, A good typo of this muse of thew is that hold at the Agrithltural Hall, London, during three consecutive Imolai for epeteal breves of horsee as follows: Eitel; Week, .Shiree; mama week, Hackneys; tilted week, thor- oughbred limiters and pOlo ponies, One of the beet of them specific ehows is that. held et Melbourne, Dorbyehire, a greet Shire home Oen- ter (owing to lintel condltletece, ane geese, climate, etc.); hero they liege three male divisions ef the how: One (2) Male bred by tfoeirlaTtnel'a4r1sss' M4eiras, e(8) foals from stale lione belonging to local breeders, "Aeothee. ootable show is that called the Cart Horse Parado held in LarldOn, where prizes 1115 515011 for tiue beet single, Mar, unicorn, and four home tennis; these muat be vvoriclog horses a.ttethed to voldele without load.

'Private lend owners -also some- times, hold shows for the encourage- ment of agriculture among their ten- ant farmers, under lotell farmers. Chief among these is the show held by the Duke of Portland, known as the 'Walbeck Tenant Termer& Show.' '1.Secretary of the Royal Agri- cultural " Society states Unit the year 1790 eaw the beginning of Ag- ricultural shows in Great 33ritain. "Particular enquiries about . the stamdards adopted in judging stock at these shows failed to elicit a defi- nite statement on this point. fact the officials themeelves were not any too clear as to what is or ought to be the standard. 'They appear to have fallen. into the easy error of looking on the prize itself • as being the end and goal of the exhibitor's ambition. On pressing the matter somewhat close- ly, certain ofricials admitted that too little attention was paid to eitbor the educational value of the show or tho cash result to the farm- ers at large. "In the catalogues end prize lista judges are warned not to be influenc- ed by the market value of stock in making their awards, and a high official slated that in his•opinion too little attention was paid tc; the economic value of the exhibies, tine that farmers were sometimes misled by n.werds so as to produce an ar- ticle which is not remunerative. "With regard to the Smithfield show they have begun to inake im- provements in the direction of mar- ket demands; that. is to be expected as the object of the show is to en- courage the production of butchers' meat. Formerly prizes were given for Anemias four years oldeebut late- ly this has been cut down i`o Tnrintn AND UNDER, and no prizes are given for cows. The result is that they get fewer of the "tallow" animals wheat used to be sten therm yet they still give awards in some cams to animals which would not be sought for by a butcher. "The Smithfield judges are breed- ers, and the lessons learned by farm- ers from tho judgment have to be picked up without the benefit of any explanation or reasbns froni the juelges. Farmers are suppmed to learn from the show that certain types of animals can be made to Plirgtaone.flesh at a certain rato-weight ib "There is also a slaughter class which the judges ViOW and rank alive and afterwards, when killod. Secretary says that the average re- sult is that the same animals , are ranked first both alive clad dead, but there aro exceptions mid some dis- satisfaction in consequence. In this class one judge is usually a farmer cued the other a, buteber; these have similar ideas for the !dock test. Heifers must be killed if they take a Mize, this being te, meat show, and not e general or agrieultural show. ''Dclucational meetings are all but unlenown. At Cerlisle there were demonstrations of dairying processes,. but no worsi of explana- don seemed to be given.

CANADA'S RonTmirEs,r. The 'vast tracts of very productive grain growing, cattle raising, but- ter and cheese making lands compris- ed within tho Northwest Territories of Canada have not long WACO been really discovered, and it is only within recent years that the Do- minion and Pievincial a overnmento in conjunction with local publie com- panies and their respective agents have been enabled to publish the fact broadcast that them aro such num- berless unoccupied holdings obtain- able in that district for merely nom- inal sums. The .various agents lo- cated in the west especially have been most active lately in publishing and 'distributing the many alluring advantages existing for the agricul- turist in the newly discovered ex- panse, and as tbe farmers from the United States are not altogether un- acquainted with the neighboring* land and Climatic conditions, these agents experience little difficulty in convinc- ing them of the exceptional pros- pects and opportunities for the expe- ditious act:emulation of is 'fortune, This is amply evidenced by the pre- sent extraordinary migration. More- over, they know that, with a. little difference in the nature of the clim- ate, both countries Inc pretty inucle the same, and are mai divided by an itnaginttry national line - the in- habitants on both sides aro to all intents and purposes one peoplee most speaking the same language - accustomed to the stone habits and mode ,of life and enjoying virtually similer political freedom. HOW CANADIANS ,VIEW IT. The greet majority of Canadians are unquestionably very favorably disposed toward the new -comers., They admire their energy, persever- ance, and as.surance; their good na- ture and liberality. This admire - tion is ostensibly exhibited by tho average Canadian's proneness to im- itate his neighbor in manner, speech and dross, For many obvious reasons the 0:la- ndfalls would bo more pleased to have a greater influx of British im- migrants, and no effort has been spared or is being spared to iaduce a larger importation of new eattlers from the old country. But 'unfor- tunately agriculture in Britain is on the wane, and the ancient British tiller of the soil is a man of the Past. The old-fashioned farmer ,of the old country who was wont to stay at home personally and assidu- ously to farm his own little home- stead and be satisfied with a plain and frugal living and modest attire has given way to the would-be "gen- tleman farmer." What Canada wants is a hardy til- ler of the soil, who can live and lead a simple rural life, economically and modestly, and one who ma adapt himself to the climatic 6ondition0 of the country as well as put 'up with the many inconveniences and nacos- miry hardships connected with tho development of virgin land. One also who will bring up and train his child to be a "chip of theold block," SIFICAeTCE Ole'Tene, EXODUS. The effect of this great huraan transportation of Malted Statet citi- zens across the border has a, more far-reaching significance than ap- pears on the surface. The majority of, tho Canadian population at pre- sent is to bo found io the eastern provinces, and they together prac- tically govern the Dominion for the nonce. Ontario as yet counts for little, ana the western states so far count for loss. The result of Eb large and emitimious Munigration of Unit- ed States citizeim into the Noetb- west Territories of °anode mese very materially affect the political balance of Power of the Dominion Within the next fow yettra-in what W�)' remains to be seen, Meanwhile there is no doubt that it enlist in- ovitably create le more cetediel inter- national relationship. , BLOOMING IN OPEN AIR.
