CROPS OF ONTARIO.
The Ontario Departliheet of Agriculture
bas leaned rt bulletin eoveeing the condi,
tion of the °rope up to June 10th, incited-
ing therefore the period of heavy rain.
June weather se far has been quite favor•
able to the growth of orops,
nmumT.
Tho frost in May did some damage to
fruit. Geapovinee have suffered quite ex-
teosively fn the West Midland, Lake Hu -
inn and Georgian Bay counties. Poach
trees were injured to some extent byfrosb,
'" and,"leaf ourl" is reported by many,
Thee is promise of only a fair orop, Ap-
ples are setting well, and, on the whole,
promise a good crop, especially East of.
i Toronto. Pears are in good form. Plums
and cherries are reported fair. Small
fruits give prospect of extra yield, Straw-
berries, on the whole, aro reported as
turning out fairly well, The Essex and
(tent and Niagara districts give, on the
whole, very favorable reports as to fruit.
TALL WHEAT.
Thio crop has stood the heavy rain and
changes of weather much better Ibhan the
Spring crops. Throughout the entire Pro-
vince soros low lauds have been flooded
and the crop drowned out. On very
• heavy olive there has been some damage,
but on light, and loamy soils very little
injury has resulted. The reports for
this time of the year are quite up to the
average. The frost of the first week of
June was felt to a very slight extent.
The reports from all parte of the Prov-
ince are praotieally the same -that after
therein the wheat anon picked up and
showed less injury than had been suppos-
ed. No more than usual has been plough-
ed up and re -sown to Springgrain. Head-
ing out was in progress on the 16th. In
some places the growth was quite rank..
With favorable weather for the next three
weeks a good orop of Fall wheat may be
looked for, At present the conditions
promise an average yield. In the Lake
• Erie district the crop was fair to very
good, except -on low lands and very heavy
clay. Damage by frost was very slight.
In the Lake Huron district most of the
reports are for a good crop. Some atten-
tion is given by correspondents to the
benefits of drainage, which were very ap
parent during the present season. In the
Georgian Bay counties a small fraction
of tee crop has been lost, but on the
whole it is quite up to the average. In
the West Midland group the best reports
come from Wellington and the worst from
Middlesex, where, however, the crop is
reported fair. Along Lake Ontario the
reports are favorable for a fair orop, fully
up to the average. In the Eastern coun-
ties the amount of Fall wheatis too small
_ to affect the total,'but reports aro favor-
able. To sum up :-The present condi-
tion is fair, with prospects of a orop quite
•0» to, if not a little over, the average,
with favorable weather,
AMMO- MMIen.
As usual, there is but little Spring
wheat in the Western part of,the Prov-
ince., while in the Eastern half the acre-
age is declining. The low-lying lands
have suffered severely, but the higher
lands have fair crops. The grain was
sown in fine condition, and is- now re-
covering rapidly from the extra rain. In
many planes correspondents statothat the
rain did more good thaw harm. In the
Eastern counties about one-third of the
Spring wheat is either destroyed or is in
poor condition ; two-thirds may bo said
to be fair to good. Less than usual has
been sown in the Northern districts. On
the whole present indioatioas are for a
crop about two-thirds of the average.
1hARLEr.
In the Lake Erie district only a moder-
ate' quantity has been sown, and the con-
dition is under the average. It has suffer-
ed from rain and alsofrom frost. In the
Lake Huron district barley is not in so
good a form as Spring wheat ; it is back-
ward and a little yellow iu places, but is
now improving. Ia the Georgian Bay
district rain and frost did some injury,
but an improvement has taken place since
, -warm weather returned. In the West
Midland district the crop is reported as
being uneven, or .patohy and backward.
In the Lake Ontario district the condi-
tion is a little under the average. In the
St. Lawrence and Ottawed/strict the con-
dition is reported as more favorable, and,
with good weather, afar crop will be ob-
tained. In the East Midland district the
crop is fair, In the Northern districts
nothing of any consequence is reported.
On the whole 1t may be concluded that
the baeleyhas suffered quite extensively,
is backward in growth, but at present is
mniring very rapid progress, and, with a
continuance of favorable weather, will
probably come up to nearly theaverage of
the last two years.
OATS, 1.1l, ran ADD CORN.

of the Province are practically the same.

time of reporting the crop was making a

what rank in straw. A few fields were
baked by the hot sun, but on the whole
the prospects were most promising, the
only unfavorable report being as to the
low lands. The orop is on the whole
somewhat more backward than usual, but
present conditions point to a yield fully'
up to the average. Rye -There appears
to be less and lees of rye sown every year.
As far- as reported upon it Dame through
the Wiutor01 good condition, was favor-
ablyaffectedby the eontinued mine, and
in now in excellent condition, having made
u very heavy ljrowth. Peas -The con-
tinued rains did more damage to peas
than to the other Spring -grown crops,
Early sown peas have done well on high
lands, but on low lauds have suffered
heavily. The rain retarded sowing, so
that a large acreage has been put in late.
As a consequence the yield will be a little
short in quantity, but at present the
quality of the crop is in general all that
could bo desired. The reports from ;the
largest pea a0untiee of the West are, quite
favorable. Cern-In the Southwest a

the Province is backward, growth being
Omitted by cool weather. The condition
at present is. hardly up to the average.
Tho late start may interfere with the
maturing of the Southernensilage varie-
ties. Many report the young Drop as not
looking very thrifty. Front all parte. of
the Province) come reports of re -planting,
of late planting and of slow growth,.
Prospects are for a crop a little undo the

reports from all the counties are in agree-
ment that we shall have a short hay orop1
this year. Old moadowe are thin an

made will not be sufficient to bring the
orop up to the average. The prospects
are for a orop about two-thirds of that of
1898, The crop is hate -a mouth late in
some
motions. In some places it is head-
ing out on short growth. There is no
need to different oountiee or districts,
as all report the same, namely a light
crop. The heavy crop of last year may
be responsible in part for the light growth
of .thea year. Clover -This orop has
suffered more tlhantimothy. Complaints
of Winter.killiug are universal. The old
fields are very patchy and rmeven ; the
new fibkls are coming on ha fair condi-
tion. A few report the crop as excellent,
but the majority report a short and un•
even crop of red clover. Alsike, now in
bloom, is showing up well. Ontho whole
the clover crop promises to be below the
average. Damage by insects is repor.ed
from a fow counties. Roots and pota-
toes-l'nun1y planted potatoes were much
injured by frosts, and large quantities

Reports regarding the condition, of bees
are variable. The loss during Winter ap-
pears to have been about the average,
whore hives were left on the stands, but
the mortality appears to have been great-
er than usual where the bees wereWintee-
ed. indoors. The fine weather of the late
1lfarch and early April days gave bees an
earlier outing than usual, but the wet and
cold weather which afterwards prevailed
was very trying to the apiary. Several
correspondents complained of Spring
dwindling, and losses from chilled brood
and hunger were reported from various
parts of the Province. There has been
practically no mention made of foul
brood. With contfrmed fiuo weather it
was expected that colonies would pick up,
and that honey making would go rapidly
forward,

Out of every eight correspondents re-

ity, one out of every three men offerine
for farm help was considered spoor hand.
Tho result of the large number of men
seeking rural employment in the Spring
and early Sumner Is seen in the lowering
of the scale of wages. The average
amount paid monthly, with board, was
816.48, compared witu 817.17 in tlteprevi-
ous year. Without board, monthly wages
averaged 824,48, or 22 cents below the
average rate of the preceding year. Day
laborers averaged 83 cents with board, a
falling off of 5 cents compared with 1893,
while those working by the day, withor.t
board, received but 81.11, or 5 cents lose

the, carriage stop. President Carnot
started slightly. Santo snatched a drag-
ger from the newspaper and plunged it
into the President's abdomen, nese the
liver. The President sank beak tm0011-
scious. He was taken at once to the Pre-
fecture, and the most skilful surgeons in
the city were summoned. Meantime
Santo was arrested.
The news spread swiftly to every part
of the city. Lift -minted crowds filled the
streets. Before 10 o'clock an Italian res-
taurant had been sacked, and the police
were obliged to strain every nerve to pro-
tect the Italian consulate.
President Carnot arrived in Lyons Fri-
day, and inteuded to remain there over
Tuesday. He was accompanied by Gen.

most of his other household officials, Pre-
mier Dnpny, M. Bordeau and members
of the Cabinet. He was received enthus-
iastically at the station by the Mayor and
district officials, who escorted hire andbis
party to the Hotel De Ville. Cheering
crowds filled the streets and gave the
President such a welcome as he had sel-
dom received. There was a luncheon at
the Hotel ole Ville, and in the evening a
dinner at the Prefecture. From the bal-
cony of the Prefecture the President re-
viewed a large torchlight procession,
which was followed by tiro -works and an
illumination. Afterward the program

after the banquet et the Ohamberof Com-
merce. He was in a peculiarly happy
mood during the banquet, and was notice-
ably elated by the cordiality of his recep-
tion, not only by the crowd outside the
building, but also by the guests within.
He WAS cheered incessantly froni the
moment he left the Ohamberof Commerce
until he took the carriage for the theatre.
The demonstrative effect of the crowd
caused the 0onfusion which gave Santo
his opportuniby,as he was able to pnshhis
way forward quietly until at the stop of the
carriage. As Santo sprang from the car-
riage steps and tried to escape he was
seized and surrounded. But for the
prompt interference of tlhepolice he would
have been tarn and trampled to death on
the ep01.
As soon as the police extrieted him from
the hands of his captors theyhurriedhim
off to the station house.
Whoa Santo was withiu a few feet of
the carriage ho waved a paper, as if in-
tending to present a petition, end thus
throw off their' guard the persons nearest
the President. He was seized just as lie
was about to jump from the sbep, and had
but half withdrawn the dagger.

ages after he was removed to the Prefec-
ture, He sank gradually but steadily until
