The Ontario Bureau of Industries has
published a bnlletilt eta to the Gimps and
live stock of the Province.
As to fall wheat, it says :—The past
winter hasproved a very favorable one
for fall wheat, and the Drop, partioulerty
the early sown, presented en ex00ption•
ally promising uppeerance when spring
opened. Practically the only unfavor•
abet reporte as to the condition of the
Drop come from the county of Essex,
where, on aucunn8 of local Mouth, the
crop did not stand the winter in very
natisfaotor,y shape. Excepting in To-
ronto locality, the paesent indicetlous are
that very la 'I „inter wheat will b;
plough•..d up, mai provided the uritiottl
time between now and the middle of May
is successfully passed, the prospe080 for
a goat crop are promising.
Of live stock, the bulletin says
Stock of all alma leave Dome throegh the
winter in fair flesh coudi8ion—a little
thinner than usual, owing to a limited
supply of Todd. r, especially hay. Sheep
have suffered considerably during limit-
ing semisoft, owing to the unfavorable cold,
damp weather, and many lambs have
been lost. The litter's of pigs, are not,
according 50 many reports quite so targe
and promis1ne as desired. The health of
stook during the winter was ex00ptionelly
good.
Winter rye is said to have suffered
little from the winter ; Riling regulation
is reported somewhat backward, owing
to the unfavorable weather in the middle
of the month. Clover wheat wintered
well. The moat favorable reports come
from the Lako Huron and Georgian Bay
comities, particulary from Situate, Grey
and Bruce, where the indications for a
yield are satisfactory. In nearly all
other parts of the Province the (1100811
of last summer did much harm to old
fields, where the oatoh of seed in the fall
wee for the most part uneven.
Under the heading of the general re•
marks it says 1—Our correspondents are
uuanimoue in reporting the past winter
to bo exceedingly favorably for the farm-
er. In most places there was a fair
amount of snow, which covered the
ground unformly, and which rema108d

in agriculture, most reports refer to the
introduction of improved tools and
machinery and advantages of under.
draining, The advantages of better
stook and better systems of feeding and
repeatedly referred to, and an increased
interest is being manifested in regard to
the Boil.
Although a few state that the supply
of farm help will meet the demand, the
great majority state there is, and will
probably be, a-scarcityy. Oue ciorrespoa.
dent states that in his township alone
100 additional farm hands are needed.
The cause univer0ally given is the re-
moval of the young men to Manitoba, the
Northwest and the States. Their places
are supplied principally by young men
from towns. The use of ma0hinery de.
creases the demand for help, bob in the
(ase of melees farmers the increased ex-
pense is said to bo very groat. There is
constant 00mplafn8 as to the low prices of
farmers' nucleate, anal a tendency to.
ward dairying and stook feeding in place
of growing grain for market. In the old

doubt es to whet line of agri 1011080 they
should pursue.
Tender"Farm supplies" the bulletin
says 3—There is barely sufficient in
farmer's' hands to meet local demands,
and only in rare instances is there any
for sale, In some districts not more
than ooe-twentioth of the wheat of last
season remains unsold. Iii other die•

portion of the extraordinary crop of 1801
still remains unrearketed, ospeaally an

It may be worth while calling attention
to the oontreat between above report and
that of 1801. One year ago hay was
abundant and cheap, oats very scarce
and dear, and many farmer8 were buy
