Tile Provin eta Ieartre Report or the Pres-
entProspects—A Favorable Forecast.
Fall Wheat.—The reports as to the eon-
ditiou of this crop were not so favorable on
Judo let as on April 17th, the ditto of the
former bulletin, In some township's as mach
as one.halfof the entire crop has been plow-
ed up, in others from one-third to one-quar-
ter has been seriously injured by rain and
frost ; on the whole at least one-quarter of
the crop of the entire province has been
plowed up and sownto other crops. Great
variation ss. reportedreported
and most vigorous fields
being those lying high or well drained. The
Lake Eriecounties report fair prospects.
Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, under the
average and a high percentage plowed up ;
West Midland, fair to good; East Midland,
average. On the whole the returns for the
province may be summarized thus ; acreage
reduced by at least one-quarter; growth
backward ; general condition'variabe ;
prospects on June let not quite up to the
average.
Rye,—Fewer reports than usual have
been received as to rye. The crop, however,.
seems bo have stood the winter and spring
better than fall wheat and to be in a prom-
ising condition. The total amount of grain.
for the province will be small.
SpringWheat.—`Lhe continued rains of
the late spring delayed sowing in moot
counties. In the north and north-eastern
sections the larger portion of the spring;
wheat was yet to be sown on June lat. The.
-dry weather following the heavy rains
oruetod the soil so that in many places the
young .planta had difficulty in pushing
through. As a result the fields were more
or leas patchy. That which had made
growth was reported in fihe appearance.
The acreage will probably be about the some
as last year. The prospects on Joins 1st.
were fair for what had made a start.
Barley.—Sowing was in progress June lot.
In comparison with former years the acreage
will likely be still further reduced. Neth•
ing could be said as to condition, since very
little was up above the ground.
Oats. -Upon well drained and high lands
oats were put in early and such had a vigor-
ous and promising appearance at the begin-
ning of the month. Moet of the Drop, how.
ever, was put in late. An increased acre-
age, isreported, espeoially from the Lake
Huron and Georgian Boy counties. As far
g
as it was possible to report, the returns
were very favorable ; in fact this Drop was
reported as the moat promising of the grain.
crops on June let.
Peas.—An increased acreage in Simcoe,
Grey, Brace aura Huron is reported.. A
slight decrease in the counties of the West
Midland, and lake Erie districts, owing
doubtless to the past ravages of the "bug."
As far as could be reported upon, the young
crop was in fair condition.
Hay and Clover.—Although meadows
were regarded as being rather a little late
as correspondents wrote, they were as a
rule full of promise. A few yields were
described as patchy, but the greater part of
comments made upon the condition of the
crop were of a hopeful and even enthusi-
astic nature, especially when alluding to
new meadows. Should favorable weather
continue the hay out will be cue of the best
in recent years.
Other Crops,—Some other crops, such
as corn, potatoes, etc., were this year de.
Payed so long by bhe wet weather that we
can give no definite reports ae . to their
oondstion or prospeot on June 1st.
Prnit,—Vegetation was rather backward.
at the beginning of the month, but the
pleasant weather of the first week of June
was sending things forward with a rush.
Fruit trees were well advanced in blossom
fu moetsections, and in some of the early
localities the young fruit was beginning to
set. The promise forapplee is not as great
as usual, more particularly in the western
half of the province, as the blossoming has
been comparatively light, especially among
the winter sorts. Pears are more profuse
in bloom. Peaches same through the
winter with but little hurt, and made an
excellent show of blossom. Plumsappear
to have suffered morel -Ilan any other fruit;
a large number of trees have died in the
counties of Grey and Simcoe during the
winter: Cherries, where they have esoaped
the black -knot, are likely to yield well.
ss Grapes have experienced but little injury
from winter -killing, and start the season
with good prospects. Raspberries, where
not laid down, were somewhat injuredby
the heavy snow, yet taken altogether the
reports regarding small fruits are enoourag•

Suooessful Parmmg,
I have not much confidence in the judg•
'Hent of those who talk disparagingly of
farming as a business, for S believe an in.
telligent young mac with business ability
and enterprise may achieve oe much euecess
in that oalling as in any other employment.
I have been interested in the experience,
and itemized accounts that have appeared' in
the papers from time to time of those who
are oonsidered successful, and I would like
to give your readers an account of what a
young man has done in this Province.
I looked over hie day book lately, in which
he keeps an a000unt of all the money he
receives and from what source ; also his ex-
penditures. For the year past he has receiv-
ed $900. The most of this sum came from
the sale of butter ; although the cash receiv-
ed for two Down and about 1300 pounds of
pork and 15 cords of wood is included ; in
fact, every item of income is included in the
above amount. He sold no hay or grain and
but few apples. His farm cats from 25 to
30 tons of hay, 'and he has kept 10 cows
that have given milk. His other stock con-
sists of six heifers and two horses. Besides
the hay and grain grown on the place, he
has bought grainto the amount $163, most-
ly ootton-seed meal. The skim -milk is fed
to hogs and he thus makes a large quantity
of good dressing for the farm, By changing
work with a neighbor in haying, hie expense'
for help on the farm was less than $35.
Besides supporting a family of five per.
sone oonfortably and paying other incl.
dental bills, be has paid $325, and thus
practically cleared the home farm from
debt.

Churning Temperature.
The tendency of the times is all the time
in favor of a lower and lower temperature
for churning, and this precludes using sour
cream, as it would foam and fill the churn
with non•churnable froth. Mildly acid
cream, cool churning, getting at it early in
the morning and attending strictly to busi-
ness will make a good texture in June with
none of the special arts used at other sea-
sons of the year to make imitations of June
butter. June butter is the standard. Just
straight, equare, honest June butter. Drop
all devices used at other times to make the
butter resemble June butter, and do
straight, solid work.
To Get Good Cows.
It should be remembered that special-
ized and added qualities desired cannot be
fed into the cow in one year or one genera.

false reasoning and more erroneous practice.
If food 15 potent it is said that all we have
to do lo to increase the quantity and im•
prove the quality and the problem is im-
mediately solved. but it is never solved
in that way, and can be only by a steady,
judicious increase of food, with improve.
menu in its quality through several, some-
times many, generations. And whether
we start from a poor or a good animal, the
problem of permanent improvement must
always be solved by a steady, uniform
eflbrt, and not by spasmodic attempts.
No mat but a dolt would start with the
poorer animal when the better one could be
secured at reasonable oust ; he would be
still more unwise if he did not preserve
those animals which he deemed best. But
while doing this it must be kept in mind
that seteotion is but opportunity to secure
what has already been produced. You
cannot run a dairy on selection. Pedigrees
are good, but they too will not run a dairy.
It must be run with animals that can eat,
digest and assimilate large amounts of food
and economically turn it into milk solids.
If the ancestors of these animade which
do the profitable work of the dairy were
alike efficient then so much the better.
Since we have nob these animals ab hand
in sufficient numbers for all the dairies,
then we must breed them, and this is a
comparatively easy task if a few simple
rules are intelligently followed.
Prinoiplea of Breeding.
Bees.— Reports concerning bees are far
from satisfactory. Some correspondents
complain of the severity of the winter, while
others say that skilled apiarists wintered
their colonies with but little loss, The cold
wet and backward spring, however, hes
been very trying to bees, spring dwind.

active season rather weak. Several oor-
respondentaspoke of dysentery,'butonly, two
made mention of foul brood. The mortality
is ,greater than usual,' ranging from 1 to 100
per cont, and averaging over 25. per Dent.
Swarming was only beginning when corre-
spondents wrote.
Labor and Wages,—The moat noticeable
feature of the reports concerning farm labor
is the frequent mention of the departure
of young Canadians' front the homestead for
the United States and the North-west, and
their replacing by inferior help from the
old country, many coming from the
" Homos." There apptare to be a sufficien-
tly of laborers of a certain sorb, but mon of
skill are saaroe. Wages for the working
season range from $14 to $20 with board,
the average being $17.17, or 38 conte more
then last year. Tho rate without board
rune from $20 to $27;50, the average being.
324.70, an increase of 10 cents over the
previous year. Day laborers on the farm
average 88 cents with board, Or two Dente
more than in 1891, but first class men get.
from 31.00 to $1.25, Day wages witiwut

ed laborers get as high as $1.37¢ and oven
31,50 per day.

ab] theiseede of enrolee for Mitch cows, and

which is essential to that development ?
The Partition of Africa•
There is no subject morepiaturesque and
fascinating, observes a contemporary, than
the scramble for territory whiuh has been
going on in Africa during recent years.
But the speculations which now naturally
present themselves as to the future of
that great continent are necessarily control..
led, more or loss, by the consideration as to
who have been the factors in the division
and sub.division of the vast conglomeration
of races, possessing amongst themselves so
many degrees of Barbarism. A work writ-
ten by Mr, J. Scott Kehl, F.R, G.S„ editor
of " The Stateman's Year Book," supplies
the followinginteresting information with
regard to the areas owned or controlled by
European powers in the Dark Continent.
Ooantry. Square Miles,
3 000,000
2,500,000

850,000
850,000
600,000
200,000
France
Britain
Germany
Belgium
Portugal
Italy
Spain
Thus, out of eleven million square miles
nearly 9,000,000 have been acquired by
European powers within a few years. It
will be noted that France appeared to have
obtained the lion's share, but, as so often
happens, appearances are deceptive.• If
Egypt were added to the British figures,
where it really belongs, the two countries
would be about even on the area of their
Afrioan possessions. Eves as it is, how-
ever, France seems to have obtained the
worst place in Africa. Mr. Kellie states
that nearly 2,000,000 square miles of her
territory is desert, while the population of
British Africa is 40,000,000 as compared
with 27,000,000 In the French possessions.
Better than that, however, he thinks
that our own people and empire will have
the largest share in the future development
of Afrioa, and that "eventually British in.
fluence will be paramount," Mr. Kehl
continues r " So far as the possibility of
colonization by English people and the
habitants of northern and central Europe
goes, we have undoubtedly, by a long nay,
the advantage over any other power, A1•
though the Zambesi is well within the
tropies,it may be taken as in a general way
the dividing line between Central Africa
and South Africa. So far as experience has
gone, the whole of Cape Colony and Natal
and neighboring lands, including the Trans-
vaal and the Orange 'Free State, which,
willingly or unwillingly, are under British
influence, are colonizable by Europeans of
any country—that is to say, Europeans can
not only settle there, but they can make
it their home and perpetuate their kind,
and that is the real test of colonization."
In South Afriea,eapecially,there is plenty
of gold and an abundant supply of coal and
iron and copper. These are great things
for a young community, and, when united
to cheap native labor and a wise policy,
the British Empire in Africa stands fair to
rival even the British Empire in India.

A drastic measure for the regulation and
restriction of foreign immigration is before
the Legislature of New South Wales. It
regulates the conditions of residence of
foreigners already resident in the colony,
restrlote the immigration of persons belong-
ing to colored rages, and absolutely excludes
allAsiatic's, " whether subjects of the Queen
or not." There ie a sentiment in fever of
such a measure in the colony, but, as it
would have to receive the consent of the
Crown, it is not likely to become law in its
present form.

To effect improvement in the grading of

to 1105 a male good individually and able to

nantcharacteristics ,which have accumulated
through breeding in a certain line for gen-
erations Grade animals do not peones
time dominant characteristics, since they
have not been bred long enough in a certain
line to seoure them. It is impossible for
them to transmit what they do nob possess,
and.beoause of this lack of dominant char-
aoteristios in grade males we almost uniform-
ly get variable results when we use them as
sires.
Therefore how unforttusabe it is for the
flocks of this country that the farmers
thereof can over think of using .anything
else than pure-bred sires, says Thomas Shaw
of the .Ontodo agricultural college, The
man who does not use pure-bred sires is eel-
thinly guilty of a crime against himself. He
sins against his family, and who will say,
nay, who dare say, .that he does not sin
against the state? Should it be looked
upon asunwarrantedinterference if the state
were to step in and to say that oommon and
sorub sires were proscribed by law and that
in oonsequonce their continued use would
be aarime against the commonwealth? We
enaot laws against weeds, whioh toso greaten
extent deface and blot and disfigure an ad-
vancing of vilization, but what weed, I ask,
is so potent for evil as a sire of scrub lineage,
whose mission is life. Is to begat animals
like himself, which empty the mangers of
the farmers who provides them food without
giving any adequate return?
But it must be remembered there are
scrub pure-brede, and of all kinds of scrub
sires the scrub pure-bred teethe worst, He

A remarkable case of suicide by a boy
was investigated by the Coroner at Gnrn-

son of amusia•teachernamed Stanford, hung
himself behind his bedroom door, for no
assignable reason. He was discovered by
his father quite dead, and on being out
down he was found to be wearing his
mother's long jacket, closely buttoned, and
one of her petticoats. He had also put
on his father's rings and muffler, and had
placed a looking glass in such a position
that he could see Himself whilst hanging.
The jury returned a verdict of suicide dur•

The Most Astonishing Medical' Discovery o
the Last One Hundred Years.
It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar:,
It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk;
This wonderful Nervlue Tonic has only recently been introduced
into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great_
South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative
agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physician;
who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the
general public.
This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is
also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of Filing health from
whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonin qualities
which it possesses, and by its great curative powers upon the digestive
organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares
with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength-
ener of the Life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a
broken-down constitution, It is also of more real permanent value in
the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption
remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv-
ousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical
period known as change' in life, should not fail to use this great Nerving
Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will:
carry them safely over the danger. This great strengthener and cura-
tive is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great
energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten
or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen
bottles of the remedy each year.

NERVOUS DISEASES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases,=no remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant an&
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digea-
tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general stateof debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the.
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con-
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves:.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied:
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This. account&
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-

CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND., June22, 1887.
My daughter, eleven years old, was severely afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance
or Chorea. We gave her three and one-half bottles of South American Ner-
vine and she is completely restored. I believe it will cure every case of St.
Vitus' Dance. I have kept it in my family for two years, and am sure it is
the greatest remedy in the world for Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and for all
forms of Nervous Disorders aud Failing Health, from whatever
