CROPS IN ONTARIO. The following bulletin contains the final estimate of the yields of °rope in -Ontario for the year 1895. The yielde are based on actual threshing returns reported to the Bureau of Industries by correspond- ents. The statistics given in the pro- vioas bulletin of August 13th,with the exception of those for hay, were estimat- ed probable yields. 0. C. JAMES, Toronto, Nov. 15, 1895. 'Secretary. The Wealber.• Ia regard to tempera• time, the principal features may be stated briefly, as follows :—The average of the ten months, ending Oot. 81, was lower than in 1894, but juet equal to the average of the period 1882-94 ; the months of February, March and October were much below the average ; the six growing mouths were about the same as in 1894, in both oases above the average. As re. garde precipitation, the general condition was as follows :—In January, August and I September alone did the full of snow and I rain equal the average. There was a de- y ficiency of nearly one-third of the usual a rainfall in October ; the deficiency in the six growing months wee three inches, or f nearly 20 per Dent. ; the total deficiency inthe ten months was 4.94 inches, or 18 s per gent. If the previous November and q December weather reports be included, h the results for the entire year, from Nov- T let to October 31st, in each ease are se 0 follows :—Average temperature in 1895, 1 42.8 degrees ; in 1894, 44.8 degrees ; in t 1882 94, 42.6. In the matter of rainfall the results are s.8 follows :—In 1895, a d total precipitation of 25.67 inches ; in 5 1894, 32,201 in 1882-94, 88 02. The oon. a elusion then, far the year past is that y there was an unusual variation in tem. 1 perature, and a large deficiency of rain o and snowfall. Apart from the extraor- I dioary frosts of May, the greatest draw- a back to farm operations in 1,895 has been m the unusual look of rainfall. t Crops in General•—The poor hay orop fa of 1895 ie the most important item in b farm production. There was a dropping e off from 1894 of over 1,700,000 tons. sb This deficiency represents a loss greater th than the value of the entire wheat crop of i the Province. There has been a shortage of straw also. The corn crop, however, gr bee been extraordinary large, and in v many oases will help to make up for the go lose of coarse fodder. The grain Drops have turned out better than was at one as time anticipated, all being well up to the it average. Fall wheat has turned out fair; ' spring wheat about the average ; oorn to away above the average ; barley fair in us quantity ; oats en extraordinary crop ; • peas fair ; potatoes, exceptionally large ab crop ; roots fair ; clover seed almost a 01 failure ; buckwheat over the average ; on beans very good. 111 Fall Wheat.-7.`breshing fully confirm. op ed the Angast report of fall wheat. The yield was 19 bnshele per acre, which ie e. to little under the average. The quality is, or in general, very good. A few report the fa grain shrunken, but on the whole it is of quite up to the average in appearance and cr in weight. Pr Spring Wheat.—The crop is on the de- . th cline in Ontario—in acreage, in yield, da and, many think, in quality. In both be west sed east the quality was hardly up tb to the average, many reporting it light in lin weight, shrunken and discolored. The ani yield in 1890 watt 7,893,905 bushels, in du 1895 it was 3,472,543 bushels. be The New Fall Wheat.—In 1888 the Ay area of fall wheat stood at 1,091,467 acres; On it dropped to 864,740 acres in the follow- fo ing year. Then it increased gradually to 897,748 aures in 1887 ; then it decreased lar gradually to 720,102 :acres in1890. In M 1802 it was np to 966,522. Since then it an hae dropped year by year to 743,199 acres in in 1895. The'movement then has been ro one of expansion and contraction. The Th reports this fall indicate an increased ba acreage sown to fall wheat. A. few report a decrease, many report the came as nn sown a year ago, but the majority report Moo an inoreaee from 10 to 80 per cent. The ag Drop was, put in under most favorable• did conditions. Some sowing took place as th early as August 25th ; some as late as qu October 1st ; but the bulk of the crop bo was sown about September 15th. On the soy whole Ootober.was not very favorable to er the crop. ' The early growth wns retard. in ed, and the general condition was not the ern most favorable at the beginning of Nov, an ember, although muob.desired rain end fav more favorable weather were just then rot promising an improvement. The report, lea then,maybe summed up thus : Iooreaeed al acreage, fair condition. The following of reasons are given for' the increased acre- np age :—Shortage of etraw this year ; de- tim creased production of spring wheat ; vary T favorable condition of weather and of soil of in September ; hope for better wheat coin prides. mo Pastures and, Live Stock.—Live stook diet had rather scant pasture during the latter abl half of the season. In many sections tho to t grass had to be supplemented with corn dor and other feed. The consequence is that whe cattle are generally thin, and, owing to ev shortage of fodder, a number of dry oowe nth have been disposed of at very low pricee. a n In Middlesex and a few otlige looalities sale some young cattle have been bought for was fattening by a few farmers who make a lead specialty of the businese.

It bag supplemented pasture, and bee been ont and stored to be fed dry during the winter. The eil0 doea,not ap- pear to have made any apeoial advance in popularity during the year. Poultry.—•Tbo season has' not been gather aaGiefaotar for poultry on ao0Punt of the low 900008 paid for b eggs and drsesed poultry. The ahu arae of grassboppere has been an wive age to those raising tuelteys. Farm are very much divided as to whet there is profit or actual loes in keep poultry. Many correspondents reooga that the poultry has not been given a trial, and that the average ben is a v tim of neglect, Bees and Honey.—Tbo discouraging oouutpublished In the August belle regarding the poor prospects of a bon yield has been verified. There will be small surplus from buckwheat, and st less from clover. Unless apiarists fe back heavily many colonise will die starvation. With the exception of ha ing low stores the bees 'appear to be good condition. Barley.—Reports on barley are varie both as to quantity and quality, more than 'inthe case of the other grains. T quantity on the whole is up to the ave age, but the grain is reported from mo seot]one as being plump but disoolore There appears to be very little brig colored bailey. The straw was short an light in yield. Buckwheat.—This crop has euffere more than usual from early Fall frost Early sown Luokwheat has turned o0 first-class, late sown more or less damag ed. Beans.—Favorable reports have bee made of the Kent bean crop. In 0th parte it will be np to the average. Oats.—This is the big crop of the year t has exceeded our Acgust estimate ooreased acreage and the high averag ield of 85.7 bushels per acre have give total of 84,097,569 bushels for 189 There are a few poor records but th allowing are fair samples of report 'Good, bat short in straw' ; "beet fo ome time" ; "a capital crop and goo utility" "eet crop in a decade" ; "t eaviest yield all round, ever grwn. -be total yield of the Province ie 9,688, 24 bushels larger than the big record o 891, and 14,525,050 bushels larger than bat of 1894. Corn.—The area of corn bee more than ounled eines 1890. This year it was 52,828 eor•ee ; in 1890 it was 923,886 Gree. The experience of the present ear has evidently increased its popn- arity. Its growth daring the latter part f the Summer and early Fall was rapid. n the dry sections of the Weet its value e a supplement to the pasture was most arked. One correspondent says :—"In he year 1895 it was corn that saved the rulers of Ontario." Corn growing for asking yielded as high ae 120 bushels of are per acre in some south-western town - ins. Taking area into consideration, e corn Drop hes proved about the most mportantcrop grown this year. Rye.—Comparatively little hae been own for grain. The Drop turned out cry well, The new crop was making od growth at the time of reporting. Peas.—Thio crop may be summed up being fair. In some Western sections Buffered much from drouth. The bugs," while numerous, do not appear have been any more destructive than ual. Clover Seed.—Thio relatively was out the poorest crop of the year. Red over has turned out very poorly; alsike, the whole, very gond. Winter -(tilling, ay frosts and drouth are all held re- oneible. The Dairy.—The drouth affected ;ma- res to snob an extent that cheese fact- iet and creameries experienced a heavy (ling off in supplies. Most factories wed this year earlier than is naval, and eamerieo also had a trying time of it. ices were low most of the season, and e year has been a disappointing one to hymen. Homemade butter is said to still improving in quality, thanks to e influence of creameries and the travel - a dairy. Most of our eorreepondente 11 express confidence in the cheese in- etry. The grade Durham continues to regarded as the favorite cow the rehire comes next (leading in Eastern tario), while the Jeroey and Holstein How closely. Potatoes.—It is many years since so ge a return of potatoes was made. Mo favorable reports as to both yield d quality some from all over the Prov- oe. Practically no mention is made of t, and the tubers have been well stored. e low price prevailing is the only draw- er to a big record. Roots.—Correspondents are far from animous in giving a deeoription of ts, but the figures of yielde submitted Mee more closely. Some report a splen. crop of turnips, while others describe e orop as a poor one and of inferior ality. Between the drouth, fly, grass- pper and line turnips certainly had a are trial, yet the yield will be an av age one, although the roots are smaller size than usual. Mangels will also be all in size, yet the yield will be above average. Most correspondents speak orably of the yield and quality of oar- s. Other reports regarding thio would d one to wonder where the good goner. yield came from. With the exception a few turnips all roots had been taken and stored in good condition et the e of welting. hrashing and Marketing.—The bulls correspondents report threshing as plated or well advanced, while 0. few, re particularly in the Eaet Midland riot, state that there is still consider. e to be done. Reports do not agree as he progreee of marketing. Several respondents report half the oats and et to be sold.

Fall Plowing.—Rsperts vary oonoern. ing progress in the line of ball plowing, The dry weather made the sod difficult to plow, but plowing on stubble was about completed. Favorable weather WW1 prevailing as corroependenle wrote and it was expeoted that a larger area than usual would be turned under before the season aloeed. Farm Lobor,-Tbere have been more than enough farm laborers, except in odd localities. The general expre00fon of opinion is that the rate of wages cannot rise, but must fall in sympathy with the low prices prevailing for all kinds of farm produce. There is a marked tendency to. lure for shorter terms, . a9 apart from periods when there is a rash of work, farmers are endeavoring to do without hired asoistanoe. Imported farm' help 18 usually nob up to the standard. It would seem from what correspondents say ae if easier times and more eight -seeing in the towns and cities, and shorter 'hours as school teachers, olerks, eto., bad groat in- fluence in attracting girls from the farm, and hence -tile continued scarcity of do- mestic servants in. rural 'portions of the province.. The Farmer's Pe per. Since its first iseue THE`TORONTO WEL'RLY GLOBE hat been notedfor its deep and enduring interest in the welfare of the Canadian farmer. What pertains to the advancement of that portion of the community has been kept steadily in the forefront, and the agri• culturists of the country have not been slow to recognize its manly independence and forceful utterances on their behalf in the great struggles of the past. To -day it is as truly the farmer's friend as' at any time in its career, and as a' newspa. per it ie better than ever. Every page is brimful of good reading. The special de- partments for the practical farmer and the home circle are always delightfully entertaining and instructive. In enter- prise as a newsgatherer it has no success- ful rival. The numerous oozes of rheumatism by the use of the old standard blood - Purifier, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, show con- clusively that it is an effective remedy, if not indeed the speo]fie, for this most painful end persistent of maladies.
