The Plaisanee, which is e. mile long, has on either aides the foreign villages, stores, temples nal theatres of foreigners. The .first was the Esgnnrnaux village occupied by flat faced men whose only amusement seemed to be in bury. ing a 10 Dent piece in the ground rind with 0 long whip stand and try to whip it out. Their native dress was lying in their hots while they wore loose white jnekots and plots. There were doge drawing boys on sleighs for 10 cents, and reindeer, with their great soft horns, in little carriages, A grove ahawed how they luny their dead ; they taro laid on the ground in' the clothes they die in, with all the pans and dishes they used when alive and were oovered with abont two loads of atones. Their stove is a large oil lanp, They have a store whore they sell furs, enowehoes, &n. The next village IS the Dahomany, West const of Africa, where o1 n largo covered tent they amuse themselves all clay exoopt at meal times when they go into their small tante. The chief sits on a high box while another at his bank sits hold• ing a great 00tton umbrella over his head. The others amuse themselves dancing, laughing, talking end fighting.

The women were cooking and grinding corn and rice. Their hair was put up on wire and looped very odd. A baby of about 2 years of age was running around dressed in a petticoat and string of beads.

One man was weaving and another making bracelets, both in their native dress. Went throng) the ostrich farm where some of the birds weighed 300 pounds. (To be oontinned.) • CROPS IN ONTARIO. Fall Wheat. From June 1st, the date of our previous reports, to July 1st, the goneral condition of the fall wheat crop materially improved in most pert0 of Outario. As stated before, at least one. quarter had been plowed up. In many places fields or portions of fields were left thatahould have been plowed up and these at present appear thin and weak. The total produotiwill probably 1 fall be. low the average owing to the reduced acre0ge and the present prospect of the production per acre being a little less than the average. Moray farmers report excellent prospects, but the majority in- dicate only fair prospects at the present time. Spring Wheat. Owing to the poor crop of 1802 and the lateness of the Spring, the acreage of Spring wheat is less this year than last year. Very little is reported from the Western half of the province and the condition is below the average. In tiro Georgian Bay counties the high land looks well, the low land wheat is thin and late. Tho Lake On• ta•io counties reports are variable, some excellent, some poor—on the whole the atop is only fair, but ahead of 1892. In the St. Lawrence and Ottawa group Spring wheat is lata, reduced in acreage and of fair prospects. In the Hest Mid- land group the condition 10 fair. Taking the province a0 a whole the Spring wheat crop is not altogether satisfactory, but the production will probably bo in slight excess of 1892. Barley. Our previous bulletin report• od sowing in prog0005 on Juno 1st. The backwardness tend variable nature of the present season may be understood when we state thab oven as late as July lab e few fields were just being sown. Moat of the crop, however, was beginning to head out at that time. The orop is very un. even, being reported es very high on high, well drained Bolla that were early Rowe, thin and poor on low-lying lends. The Rtrtuv is pretty generally reported a0 short, but the green appears to be filling pretty well. The most unfavorable re- ports cone from the districts that were formerly known as the leading Ontario barley districts, principally along the front of Lalto Ontario and in the Bay of Quinto regions. The orop will be a little late, it will bo quite a bib under the (wattage in quantity but raises unfavor- able weather occurs during July it will be fully tip to or above the average in gnaltty, Oats. The Drop 0ontinnee to bo its twee reported on June 101, the most promising of the grain oeop0. Through the Western and Eastern sootions the condition is exlellonb ; along Lake °uteric it is quite up to the average. The yield on high and well -drained lands will be good, on low. lying lard only lair, In many sections the growth of straw is Meted too rank. The reports as to thio Drop aro far more uniform bhe.n ao to the other grain orop0, and Wo may expect a yield somewhat above the average if the proper tneturittg of tho grain is permitted by favorable weather. Rye. Only about one correspondent out of live toports to 110 as to rye, but the limited quantity grown appnnte to be in good condition. On July let it was about headed out, Corn. In the South -Western part of the provinoo, especially in Bede, Kent and Elgin where corn is grown for the grain, an Inc'eased acreage is reported and the oonditfon on July 1st was from MT good to exnelle1t, Elsewhere corn is being grown ltrineipelly for doi'105 seal the elle, 1n Lake ILIrot null Georgian limy ill Eisele 11r'-tte0101150 WAS limited, the growth backward 'ant improving rapidly.

HOB the 001111110/1 was fair to gond ; in the Plasters and Northern eountioa the eto71 was quite late and just beginning to slake good growth. On the whole the crop cels baolavard 111 starting but rapid• ly going ahead, and the prospects were oxncotiiegly good on July 1st, Therrien) many cnmpla1nt0 from the Western hnlf of the province of poor seed. Petra, Thu pea crop of Ontario will probably be quite up to the average this year. On lowlying lands the rains drowned out the young peas, but on WO and woll•drniued 1011110 the crop has done very well, there has been a vigorous growth aid prospects tine very geed. In the southeastern part of ilio province the acreage 0,0011 wee less than formerly. Elsewhere it wits larger, but so much has been destroyed in low lands that probably the average will bo no greater than uoual. The unanimous report of oorrespotdeuts is "good in high lands, poor in low lands," If the "bag" does not du numb damage the total pea crop of the province will be satisfactory. Buckwheat. At this date buckwheat is still being Down, and owing to a fail• ere of some of the earlier crops a larger area than usual will likely bo put in, more oepaciallp in eastern Ontario. Where sown, the crop is reported to be coming along nicely. Beans. This crop is said to be doing well where sown, but the acreage as a Held crop is confined chiefly Lo Kent Land a few other counties. The area dons not seem to bo smaller than usual in those nations. Hay and Clover. Farmers were nicely into haying when returns came in. fine weather—and the prospects for it were good—was the only thing required to ensure a first -plass crap. There is an immense yield of clover on new fields, and/ oldj fields fare well up to their average. Timothy, although not equal to clover, has also done swell. The midge NEW mentioned by a Waterloo correspon. dont, but no one else complained of in. jury ley insect enemies. It is too early to compute the average yield, but it will be unusually high. Potatoes. The only tiling apparently in the way of a eplendid Drop of potatoes is the presence of the Colorado battle in immense numbers. The bugs aro so thick this year as to excite great appre- hension, but otherwise the tubers are snaking grand growth above and below ground, more particularly those planted early. Roots. It was rather early when Dor- respondents wrote to say tnuoh about roots. The referenoos to malgels were mostly reassuring ; they were corning tip nicely, although one return from Brant reported some plowed up. But little was said about carrots, which are not so general as a field orop. Turnips were coming into loaf promisingly, and where the fly was named it was chiefly to note its absence up to the time of writing. Other crops, Sorghum and tobacco iu the eolith are reported fair ; alsike and white clover in all parts of Ontario, very Cine ; millet, good ; hops, very promising ; flax in West Midland district, very good pasture in all sections, exceptionally good. Apples, especially winter apples, will be very limited as blossoming was unsatisfactory and young fruit has been dropping heavily. Powe and cherries will he light, peaches and plums only a fair crop. Small fruits are bobber than large frnits ; strawberries were reported abundant in all sections. Gropes so far promise a good crop. Wild fruits appear to be abundant. On the whole the in. dications aro that in fruit the present year will be a little below average. Crops in Gouerah The present year has shown the great controlling inflame of the weather ; it has also proved the great advenbage and necessity of more thorough drainage in Ontario. With few exceptions the general report is in regard to nearly all Drops : "Drops good on high and well drained fields, poor or total failure on low and undrained fields." Clover and timothy hay and pasture stand ahead of all crops so far. Grain Drops ere fair ; frnit orops poor. The staple grain crus may be arranged about thus in order ofprospectiveyield ; oats, corn, peas, fall wheat, barley, spring wheat. All Drops will be a little late in being harvested. 11100 1171tt0V Itx.tinteea't 011. riddle Schotrt hetn'I tag.
