DROPS AND LIVE STOOK IN
ONTARIO.
:January was 0,l9deg000degrees milder in
1903 thou ia 1892, and 6,78 degree cold-
er than the average of 1882-92 ; that
anbrrowy was 7,61 degrees oolder in 1803
than io 1832, and 4.20 degrees colder
than the average of 18824/ In Mardi,
however, the temperature was 1.20 de-
grees obove 1892, and 2.17 degrees above
the average of 1882-92. It will thus be
seen that January and February were
very muds ooldee than MUM and Maroh
was a, littao warner. The ten Motions
from which the above averages are made
had the following average temperatures
for the three connate Saugeeta 17.8 ;
Birnam, 19.0 ; London, 20.6 ; Wood -

to, 21.0 ; Lindaay, 15.0 ; Gravenhuret,

thus be seou that name rain and anew

anorci•snow'than the average of the eleven
years 1882 92, and the total precipitation
was less than for 1889.92. On amount
of the very cold weather the snow u0 -
cumulated upon the ground more than
usual. Excellent sleighing was enjoyed
up to the first week of Meath,
Tile temperature in April has in gen-
eral been wanner than the normal, with..
out any severe frosts ; the min fall so far
is in excuse with aome very heavy snow
falls that may have retarded farm work,
but the occasional high winds which o.
mimed, with some hot days from the 7th

Vegetation. Very tittle growth has

the Lake Brio distrait and in a tew other
counties, the meadows were turning
green but a heavy fall of snow on the
15th of April again covered the fields and
the vveatber immediately following was

not considered backward.
Fall wheat. On the whole the winter
has been quite favorable to this crop.
Ice has clone some damage, eepecially on
undrained soils. Smothered by too much
snow is reported from some northern
sections. The Lake Erie counties eend
very favorable reports, the only damages

feared that all danger from Ibis sottroe
was not yet over, the Milk of reports were
to the effect that the trying time wag
past and that only an adverse Summer
would prevent an extra, good mop of
clover.
• Live Stook. Where live stook did not
come through the Winter in good condi-
tion the blame may be charged to want
of care by owners then than a look of
Sodden. The season MO a severely cold
one aud the cattle and horses ranging the
barnyards on poorly managed farms,
suffered from exposure, the thermometer
ranging low even in the lee of the straw
stook. It is pleasant to observe, how-
ever, that many eomeepondents refer to
the marked improvement in the Winter
care of all olaesee of live stook oompeeed
with the past. Horne Were in good con-
dition goilerolly although came of in-

Fall and early Winter was beak and IOU

respondents attribute this mortality to

Farm Suppliee. Although hay was

having discsouraged sales, The reports
concerning the supply of oats are more

sex and Oxford, there was robber a

left, May shipments are expected to call

Miscellaneous. In the Western part
02 1)18 province the Spring worts is re-
ported to be a little late, owing to the
weather, although the extra amount of
Fall plowing will be of much help. In
lease:: end Kent considerable corn and
mats had been sown by April 121)1. The
dairy industry is developing—oheeee
factoriee and creameries are on the in-
crease. Greater attention le being given
to stook raising and feeding. The bene-
fits of enderdraining in 1892 have given
an iropetne to that improvement, and
largo gnanti ties of tile are being laid in.
Tho maple stew season was short and
the yield light, although of good quality.
Farm hands in most places are not of
the best quelity, and wean An consider -
high. In Eastern Oatario a similar
story 15 110006 regarding the exodus of
first-class farm bootie, end female
servants on the farm are border than
ever to get. A farther shrinkage in the
0210090 02 barley is promised in those
e.onntles along Lake Ontario and the St,
Lawrence, where but a few years ago
this was the staple crop. The brighter
side of the story tolcl by oorrespoudents
in the East is to be found in the nefer-
enoes to the dairy industry. Better care
of live stook generally is reported, and
there are hints bore and there of fatter
steers and sleeker young porkers, as well
as a fuller flow of milk and more and
bother menure as the result of more grain
being fed.

Fire at the Postofflae.
Shortly eater 5 o'oloblc lest Tuesday
morning the ringing of the live alorm
aroused o large number of Brueselites
from their slumbers. Volumes of dense
smoke soon indicated that the lire was in
the upstairs of the pootoffine
which was oompied by a. S. Smith and
family. In ;short mace the engine woo
taken to the mill darn and ere long two
powerful streams were deluging the
burning building and despite the fad
that the flames were between the porta
tions and under the tarred roof, the fire
woo drenched out in good style. Mr.
Smith lost considerable of hie household
effeds between floe and water, and the
removal of the contents of the postoffice
had rather a demoralizing effect on the
office, The building is owned by Mr.
Farrow and m a frame struoture with
brink veneer front, 10 was damaged to
!pita an extent but the loss is teamed by
insurance, it is said. How did the fire
mour ? A good many ottribated it to
the furnace but such is not the case as
there had been no fire there for several
days. It appears to be something like
this :—Mr. Smith, who is engineer at
the Salt Works, rose earlier than moat
so its to get the brine tank at the works
filled in good time, He started the fire
in the stove and after he had his break-
fast left for work. Mrs. Smith noticed
smoke a, little whileafter he had gone
and ou investigating the muse found a
fire burning rapidly at the chimney.
She at once called the eldest boy who
ran to the Hall and rang the alarm and
the family made their escape as spoectily
as possible from the flames and blinding
smoke. Mr. Smith had his furniture in-
sured in the Oommerotal Union for 3250.
MIMS.
While assisting in taking out the safe
1. 0. Richards received a serious blow on
the head and shoulders from o brick be•
longing to the ohlinney.
The fire engine worked splendidly and
the building stands to -day as a monu•
meat of what the "Ronald" steamer can
do in sousing out a fire.
Mr. Smith MS so overcome by a hard
rim mid the excitement of the moment
that a physioian had to be called.
Fires are expensive. Tim blaze of
