Crops and Live Stock
in Ontario.
FALL Warw.—There le a Talnark-
able and meet gratifying contrast in
the tenor of the fall whoa reports
this year compared. with those re-
ceived iu the spring of 1888.. In
1888 a trying fall bad boon followed
by a severe winter and an inclement
and a late spring, This year's crop
was put in during one of the beet
seeding times within memory ; the
winter was mild, and the spring
early—in some sections too early—
for the wheat was uncovered and
loft subject to damage by the re-
peated freezing and thawing weather
of March. But on the whole the
reports now at haul aro the most
favorable that have been received
since the gathering of Drop statistics
was commenced in Ontario. Less
winter -killing is reported than has
occurred for many years past, and
the acreage that has boon plowed
up is insignificant. Lambton is the
only county which complains ser•
jointly ou this score, and iu parts of
that county the ground was bare in
January. Other complaints of wiu•
torkilling are confined to more men-
tioning of the smothering of wheat
under snow banks near fences and
of tho heaving of the plants on low
and wet land since the spring has
set in. The great winter wheat
counties of Simooe, Grey and Brnee
report in a very favorable strain.
From Elgiu come a cumber of re-
ports predicting only an average or
less than an average yield. The
Middlesex reports aro eatiefaotory
except one from Lobo, and from Mc-
Gillivray and Biddulph, where it is
stated much has been plowed up.
Essex reports are very good, as are
also those of Kent, Perth (except one
from the township of Downie), Ox-
ford, Haldimand, Brant, Wentworth,
York, Ontario and many other
counties. Throughout the reports
such expressions abound as, "sound
er than for many years;" "unusually
healthy ;" "the best prospects since
first settlement;' "cannot bo bet_
ter ;' "it is a rano thing to seo a
poor field ; "the worst looks better
than the best of lash year," and so
on. An occasional report is that the
wheat looked in first class condition
when the snow went off, but Cent it
is now going back. In the northern
counties the wheat, though looking
in excellent condition, has not made
mach progress lately owiug to the
coldness of the weather. Through-
out the reports is to be noticed testi-
mony to the efficacy of drainage,
even in a season such as the present
when there has not been a super-
abundance of rain or of snow water
to carry off. The orop has been
singularly free from insect ravages.
The wireworm is mentioned only a
few times as having been destruc•
tive, while the Hamden fly is only
named once in the whole series of
reports, and ou that occasion only
in order that it may be mentioned
that at last the county (Lambton)
seems to bo getting free from the
pest.
WINTER RYE.—This is a very im-
portant crop in Northumberland,
Durham, Priuee Edward and a few
otheraoanties. Wherever ii is grown
extensively the prospects aro re
ported good for an exiraorduhary
crop. Especially gaud reports come
from the townships of Iialdimend,
Ilamilton, Murray, Percy and
Ameliasburg. Iu the other parte of
the province where rye is a casual
crop its conditiou is equally gond
with that of the wheat.
CLovxa.—From the province as a
whole the reports relating to this
•crop are vary bad. 1. wing t,) the
prolonged drouth which existed in
the east, north, centro and part of
the west, the "oatoh" last summer
was uuueually bad. What little
germinated stood a vary poor ohanee
against the long continued dry
weather, The early spring has
boon against the plant. It Is re-
ported as destroyed by heaving in
many places. Still there aro a
number of reports describing the
clover crop as excellent, Essex and
several of the Lake Erie countioe
appear to be well off, in the Niagara
peninsula the crop appears to
promise an average, in Simcoo athd
Grey it is variable, in Bruce more
uni£ormily good, in tho east very
poor and in a large notion of the
province patchy. The counties of
Kent, Norfolk, Wellington and.
Waterloo report excellent clover.
crops. In Lambton, Huron and
Middlesex the now meadows suffer-
ed from heaving during the long
period that the land was baro from
snow. Throughout the reports there
719 an absence of complaint abonb
insect ravages upon the clovercrop,
from which ib may be roaeonably
inferred that the worst of the clover
midge le over.

Waterloo and other root-growiug
counties the abundant prep of
mangels and turnips eupplidcl the
place of dry fodder. In Waterloo
turnips were in plentiful that they
were sold at five cents a bushel.
About one. tenth of the reports state
that the cattle are in poor condition,
but most of these reports add that
the animals aro healthy and strong.
The condition of the health of the
cattle, sheep and pigs seems to be
unusually good. No infectious or
epizootic disease among them is
anywhere reported. Among horses
there has been an outbreak of the
old epizootic which paused so much
inconvenience on its first appearance
about eighteen years ego. .11 is re-
ported in greater or less severity
from the counties of Renfrew, Peter -
bora', Hastings, Parry Sound, Dar
ham, Northumberland, Bruce, Grey,
Oxford, Perth, ole. It appears to
have existed in a virulent form in
the shanties of the Upper Ottawa,
where many horses died from the
disease. There is one report of
glanders in Prince Edward. A. re
port from the township of Perry, in
the district of Parry Sound, etabes
that a disease resembling glanders
broke out among a flock of sheep
taken there from the neighborhood
of Hamilton. The whole flock has
died or been killed, and it is hoped
that the disease has been effectually
stamped out. Other than these,
there have been no oases of serious
disease, and on the whole the con-
dition of our live stook, reduced
though the numbers of the animals
may bo, is such as to give cause for
the liveliest satisfaction.

From various parts of the province
Iowa statements regarding .a de-
crease in the acrea me of barley, and
au increase iu the extent of spring
wheat sown. In Western OtI .arto n
larger area of pease is reported, and
oats will also be more largely groan
than ever. Taken altogether the
outlook for spring crops is a cheering
one.
Besmear: --Owiufr to the pro-
longed clronilh of the past two anm.
mere, and the discussion of the
fodder question at many farmer;'
inatitntee and similar gatherings, it
seems likely that the ensilage method
will get a trial Mie year. In the
western part of the province the
good crops of corn and roots last
year, along with the cost of silos and
labor, will operate against its adop-
tion ; but iu the eastern part, where
dairying is the most productive farm
industry, and where the effects of
dronth have been most severely felt,
it will be more generally adopted.
Wherever ensiled folder has been
given a fair trial the reports show
that it has been almost invariably
successful. Mammoth Southern
sweet corn appears to have been the
favorite crop grown for the pur-
pose.
FA= SVPPLIas.—It is only in a
few instances that a surplus of
wheat is reported at the close of the
winter. In some counties in the
Georgian Bay end St. Lawrence and
Ottawa. groups several correspond•
outs have stated that some farmers
have been compelled to buy flour for
family use, their supply of wheat
having mu out. A. fair amount of
barley appears to bo on band fur
feodiug purposes. 'J akiug the prov-
ince over there is an abundance of
oats. Tilts crop was a good one
last year, but prioes kept low, and
many held over awaiting a rise.
There is not a groat deal of hay left,
except an a few cases where owners
held for en advance after the year of
drouth. .Early grass, with a core
responding fall in prices, hes left
these local epeoulatore behind in the
deal, There aro not so many fat
oattie in the stalls as usual, nor
does there appear to be as many
store cattle as formerly. In eastern
Ontario especially the scarcity of
both classes of etocic is noticeable,
while in the west complaints are
made regarding the slowness of the
movement of beeves for the British
markets. In the beef raleiug (eun-
ties of the .Vales Huron and 'Wet
Midland groups, however, a fair
number of cattle will go on grass for
delivery in June and July.
FIVOT9 AND VuooOA•rl0N.—Reporbs
from all parts of the province aro to
the effect that vegetation was a week
or two in advance of the previous
year ab the same date (May l.) The
opening of the epring presaged a
still earlier start of bud and leaf, but
the latter half of April was cold and
kept vegetation in check. Iiasbures

Bugs AND HONEY.—The winter
was favorable to boss, and a number
of apiarists claim to have brought
their stock through without the loss
of tl single colony. Others place
the majority at from 10 to BO per
cunt. Very little loss from disease
is reported. Mention is made or a
few cases of dysentery, but the
greater part of the fatalities resulted
from lack of stores. A few corre3'
poudente report the destruct.iou of
odd colonies by mice. The bees
