A large attendance of all interested ie ask- ed for. FEEDEIacToN, N.B., is evidently not tired of the Scott Aot, as it was suatain. ed by a good majority last week. The Act is all right as far as . it goes but it does not roaob far enough. THE bungled way in which the un- fortunate Harvey was banged, at Guelph, last Friday did more to convince people of the propriety of the abolition of cap ital punishment thou all the fine spun talk or argomenta of years. We think Harvey is well out of the way, however, and believe he received a fair and im- partial trial. ON the seventh of January the Quebec Legislature will meet for the despatch of business. It is expected that this will be the last session before a general elec- tion, as the franchise of the province has been extended and a new electorate thus created, and it is likely that some addit- ional electoral divisions will be formed during the conning session. HARD times appear to be the general complaint in Canada as well as other countries at the present time. Business ' is doll, collecting accounts and debts is next to impossible and every day adds to the long list of assignments. We don't believe in looking at the bleak side of the picture alone, but at the same time it is a fact patent to everybody that a change for the better is much to be desired. The Listowel Banner of last week has this to say on the subject: "The rapid and large reduotion during the last ten years, in the value of farm property and of other real estate in On- tario may well set thoughtful men en- quiring whether or not there can be any remedy found. The first step towards finding a remedy is to find the cause or causes of the depression. Its existence no one is so blinded, no one so foolhardy as to deny. Farms there are inieplenty for sale, buyers are scarce. Properties which could not be bought for 6100 an aore, now go begging in the market at g70 bne80 an acre. The average depreoiation of value is not less than 24%. This is not caused by the falling off in the pro- ductive powers of the land ; for with the developing of dairying the producing power of the Onto;io farms is increasing rather than diminishing. Nor can the cause be attributed to falling off in prices. The prices obtained for grains have beep somewhat lower, but this bas been made up by the advance in horses and in dairy goods. The opening up of the prairie lands of the West and the emigration of our young farmers to them has had a tendency to reduce values in the older provinces, but that this will not account for any considerable part of the reduotion becomes evident when we consider that such an emigration can possibly have no effect on the earning power of the lands left behind, and it is on the earning pow- er of any property in relation to the ex - pensee of working it which determines its selling value. And to make it be- yond dispute that there is some other reason for the startling lose of value, one need but reflect on the fate of many farmers wbo have been getting behind every year, and wbo are in too many cases being sold out by the sheriff. There have been several cases of this kind this fallin this neighborhood alone. Such things were almost unknown in former years ; Dow they are becoming but too common. The trouble must arise then not from deorease in the earniug power of the land but from an increase in the expense of working the land, and this in- crease must exist in spite of the great cheapening of farm labor of late years by improved machinery. We' believe thie great increase of farm expenses is due largely to the National Policy. • Washington Letter. (From our Beguiler Qorreepondont.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 20,'80.' The new Congressman has arrived and is arriving. His presence is beginning to be felt in the hotel lobbies and be has already made and will continue to make, the acquaintance of the ever - watchful and numerous brigade of hotel "kernel's" and "majahs." The number of friends he finds, ready with all sorts of suggestions and information, is far greater than be could have anticipated, and his company is sought by the multi- tude of men who are willing to extend to him the freedom of the city from the classic shades of Chamberlin's and the buffet in the Shoreham Flats tothe Capi- tol, and from the Capitol clear through down to the Potomac Flats. In one respect the new Congressman will be disappointed in Washington. Im. mediately on bis election be became the first man in his district. Here in Wash. ington he will find himself without special importance. He can go about unknown and unobserved. He will dis- cover that hero, outside of the Depart - meats end the Capitol, "no divinity doth hedge" a Congressman, ae such, and in no way can be So surely subject himaelf to ridicule as by the putting on 0f official airs and the assumption of Congressional dignity. The now Cengroseman, however, will soon become aware of a notable exception to this general indifference Occasions may arise when ho will And himself be. sieged and beleaguered by an importunate crowd, far more anxious to obtain his confidence than to keep it --interviewers and repertere willing to write down bis lightoet words and to carsigti them and hint to fatale and history. it has become the habit of some of the imaginative gentlemen, who protege to ootnmunioato the political doings of the Capitol to journals at a distance, to ex oraiso their olieap wit and their easy powers of depreciation at the expellee of the new Oongreetman, end in so doing to Me' greeter proof of outwit than saga- city. But those are, after all, but alight die. advantages, and the new Congressman who has the right stuff in him, and who is a man of genuine power, will so regard them. In truth, there aro Many reasons why the now msmbere should be hold worthy of high consideration and in reality the position of a now member is one of comparative advantage, for so far as Oongrees is concerned he has a clear and unwritten record. Already there is excitement in the air, and one feels the bustle in preparation for Congress, the "Season" and the Holi- days. Nowhere is this more manifest than at the markets of the National Capi- tol, and never more than on a Saturday morning, The markets are then throng- ed with society dames in tailor-made suits of expensive simplicity, who are out on the hunt for choice tid-bits and fragrant flowers to serve their guests at their Sunday dinners. Epiourean states- men run in for a look at the game, or the pretty dears, for hero lovely girle buy their rosebuds and violets to perfume their homes for clear Alphonse's visit, or to carry en their visits of inertly to the hospitals. Alphonse himself saunters in to see if perchance he ann.atch a glimpse of Arabella, who looks more fasoinating than ever in her stylish morning costume and coquettish round hat. In his search the magnificent Alphonse brushes against the poor little artisan's wife, who, in shabby costume and with Blender purse, is searching for the oheapest place where she can find something tempting for her good man, who she hopes will forgot this once the way to the back entrance of his favorite bar -room. She eyes the great piles of Melons fruit and is sometimes tempted into extravagances for the baby, who relishes such expensive daintier. Then there is the steward, who occupies but little time in giving hie order ; the caterer, who looks carefully at game and meat, for his customers are epicures ; but the boarding-house keeper, the comrratnis avis of this city of Government clerks, buys with dispatch, knows just where the cheapest stalls are, and has finished her ordering and is on her way home again before the young housekeep- er has decided what of the tempting things to buy and has ohanged her mind a half dozen times about her Sunday's dinner. The trouble aboub electing a Speaker of the House, with so muoh good materi- al to draw upon, is that to put a good Speaker in the chair takes one off the floor, where he is often more ueeded. Daring the past week Commissioner Baum states that 8,938 pension oertile cates have been signed, and he expects to bring the weekly issue up to 8,000 oases. He says that the work of the office ie keeping ahead of the current business, and he thinks that he will be able to largely reduce the number of pending cases. Crops and Live Stock in Ontario. The following bulletin is compiled from the reports of over nine hundred correspondents, dealing with the yield of grain and roots, the new fall wheat area, condition of pastures, live stook and sup- plies, threshing, marketing and other matters. The record of the weather bas been furnished by the Meteorological Office. Ten WEATHER.—The temperature of the province for September was 2 dege. above the average for the same month for the seven years 1882-8. The greatest excess (as in August) was at London, being 4.5 dege., and the least was at Rockliffe, being only 0.9 dege. The mean highest temperature was reported at Bir - nam in August, and at Woodstock in September, and the mean lowest at Rookliffe in both months. A very mark- ed change of temperature was observed in September after the 15th day, coincident with an entire ohange in the distribution of the pressure, the dry weather prevail- ingup to that date being generally fol- lowed by broken, cloudy weather. Oo- tober offers a marked contrast to the previous month, being cold, windy and dry, the temperature being on an aver- age 4,9 dege. below the average of the same month for the seven years. The greatest defect occurred at Rockliffe, being 6.8 dugs., and the least at London 2.6 dege. The first snow generally fell from the 6th to the 8bh of October, but except in a few looalities it was light. The heaviest falls for the month are : Miseanabi, 12 limbos ; Chaplean, 16 in. ohes ; Cartier, 5 inohee ; Aurora, 4.8 in. Rhes. Sixteen miles north of Branaroft, in Hastings, seven inches of snow fell on the 6th. Frosts were noted generally throughout the province on the 21st and 22nd of September, ice forming in many places. At one station in Algoma ice was reported half an inch in thickness on the 17th of September. The sunshine over the province during the two months was 15 hours less than the average for the same months in the seven years 1882.8. In the matter of rainfall there is even a greater deoreaee to note, the average over the province being only 4 in. ohee, while for the seven years 1882.8 it was 51 inches. TEE GRAIN Coors.— The results of threshing have proved the fall wheat orop to be just about what was expected. The quality isgenerally inferior, and the yield a small one. The conditions have been exactly the revered of what they wore last year. Instead of a dry, unfavorable spring, the prospeots this year at that season were all that could be desired and the outlook was an exceedingly cheerful one; but in place of a very favorable period for maturing the grain, we linfor. tunately experienced a protracted drouth, and this, combined with the unusually' heavy June rains, did very great injury to almost all crops. The natural cense. quence of the sudden heat was to manse an extensive shrinkage in the oars of grain, while rust was exceedingly pre. valent. The wlieab yield is consequently a light ono, averaging barely 11 bughele to the acre, and weighing 50 to 80 pounds to the bushel. In some instanoes spring wheat has been it pretty fair orop, and; generally speaking, it may be considered it slightly better sample than fall wheat, although the average yield is lege. The fly is spoken of in grime parts of Shigeo and Grey, anti in a few instances wheat was attacked by the midge, but not, how- ever, to any serious extent. Barley snag tuned out a fair crop only, and it is very THE F31- USSEL, POS'1 varied in quality, although the yield is s good one, In the south -wont it Is report. ed a light orop, bet of s good bright color. In the northern and midland counties ib is generally the reverse of Ibis, there being a fairly heavy yield and o plump sample, bat it us badly discolor. ed owing to the heavy down and mina the) occurred about the time of harvest. ing, Some consider that It was allowed to anted a little Goo long in the halal on account of the wheat maturing about the same time. The Drop was uttered in good condition, but, as a rule, ib has suf- fered from smut or rust, and very little of ib will be fire)-olass. There appears to be little doubt that the oat orop fe the best of the season, so far as cereals are oonoernad, and the reports are pretty uniform Ireepeoting it, The yield is a large one, but the average weight is light. Oats have suffered extensively from TUG, as have indeed all the cereals. The straw is very plentiful, The reports respecting peas are most varied in character. The high belt of country soross the centre of the province has produced very fair and, in some instanoes, exceptionally high yields, but the average is brought very low when it is remembered that aboub one-third of the entire crop has proved almost a failure owing to the drowning out it received on low lands. This crop has again beep troubled with bugs in the south-west. Rye has turned Gus a very good crop wherever grown. The heeds were well filled and the straw long and of good quality. Generally spooking, rush is most oomplained of in the northern and the Bummer drouth in the south- western portion of the province, where, in many instanoes, rain had not fallen since June until the past few days. Late crops fared the worst, but no cases of injury to grain crops from frost are re- ported. Tru: NEw Cnoe or Fern WHEAT.—A general reduction is apparent throughout the province in the area of fall wheat sown this year, and there will probably be a total falling off of them 10 to 15 per cent. on this year's crop, in spite of the fact that in some instanoes more than usual has been sown. This is probably due to the condition of the ground being snob, owing to the drouth, that it was next to impossible to prepare stubble land for seeding. Again the moat un- favorable reports come from the south- western counties, whore the land has been exceedingly hard, dry and lumpy, and the acreage is still lees than it was last year. It is stated that a considerable proportion of the seed has failed to ger- minate, owing to a lank of suffiaienb moisture. A better tone is apparent in the reports from the midland and eastern counties, and there the falling off is not nearly so marked, as the land was gen- (wally in good condition at seeding, and summer fallowed lands are in most in- stances looking well. The orop is fairly. healthy, but much too backward owing to the slow growth, and it bas hardly made sufficient head to be in a good con- dition to stand the rigors of the winter. The Hessian fly does not appear to be doing much damage this autumn, but the wire -worm is occasionally mentioned in some of the eastern counties. CORN, BNANs, BUCKWHEAT, ETC.— The corn that survived the heavy spring rains has been harvested in very fair condition, but can only be considered about half a orop in the south-west, where it is most extensively grown. In the east, however, it has turned out a very good orop, and has,much surpassed the expectations of early summer. Buckwheat lams also been a very successful crop in that part of the province, the yield and sample being quite equal to last year's. Beans are a fair orop throughout, but the yield is under the average. All these crops suf- fered to a greater or lees extent by the wet and cold of the early summer, and in the west especially by the later irouth ; early frosts are also reported to have done some local damage. SEED OLovan.—The reports are some- what conflicting with regard to the Reed clover orop, possibly hennas many farm - ere have not yet threshed. Some fields are said to be particularly good, while others are a complete failure. Many farmers did not reserve their fields for seed this year, but turned them to pas. ture on account of the drouth. The re- ports are generally favorable from Nor. folk and Middlesex, and several other south-western counties, but there the midge has again been troublesome, and has in most instances prevented early out olover from coming to seed. Prost and drouth have also combined against this orop, but it has not been so serious- ly affeoted by the latter as have some of the others. The general opinion respect- ing clover appears to be that it is light on the ground, but that the heads are well filled and of good quality. The total yield will probably be a small one. POTATOES AND OTHER Boors.—Although small and scarce, potatoes have turned out to be of very fair quality on high, light soils, but on heavy clay lands the crop h:ae been pretty generally a failure. The June rains did mnoh injury, and the summer drouth did not improve matters. In the east espeoially rot was very pre. valent, and some fields were almost de- stroyed by it, The remaining roots are ail inferior and eoaroe in the south-west, but in the east a very marked improve- ment is shown, and all are good crops with the exception perhaps of potatoes. Carrots, as a Yule, head the lieb. Tut'. nips aro small and somewhat low in yield, and have been troubled by the fly and grub in some localities. Nearly all roots are now seoured fn favorable` con- dition, and have been safely housed for the winter. Fem. PLowNo.—With the exception of the south-western counties and a few of the Lake Ontario townships, where the land has been unusually dry and hard, plowing is for the most part very well advanced, The weather has been favor. able, and, in [spite of the late threshing, a large area of land has been broken. The reoenb rains have greatly improved mat- ters where the ground has been unwork. able, and in such instances plowing is now being pushed forward with all pee. Bible speed. Fiume AtO) FRUIT Tciws.—Fruit trees clgenerally aro reported to be in good con. ition. Here and there drouth appears to have affected them, and a sleet storm in October did damage in several western counties, but taken altogether the or - allude are in a promising condition for next ,rear's yiolil, Insect pests were not very bad, although the codlin moth was operating in Kent, York and some of the eastern eounbies, and the tont caterpillar allowed iteelf in amine portions of the St, Lawrence and Ottawa and teat 11Iid- sans groups. Except in the counties of Slesex, Kent, Idigin and Lambton, wbenoe a considerable slnipmont of apples sans been matte, and in those porpkons of other' counties skirting the lakos, the general product of fruit breee, bull end vine was light. The frost is acoredibsd with one- ing the greater part of the damage, The quality of apples is below the standard. While some splendid speohnons wore shown at the fall fairs, the bulk of bhis fruit is small, deficient in flavor, and, in the Oaee of the popular Vamoose (Snow apple), very scabby. In the county of 1lurei, where usually it ie diffieulb to find buyers for the immoneo yield of apples, a considerable quantity has to bo imported this year to supply the local de- mand. Pears turned out well in the western counties, and are etoadlly grow- ing in favor with Ontario orchardists. In the county of Grey, plums aro said to have borne generously, and a smattering favorable repgrt was heard regarding the cherry, but the majority of the reports were most discouraging regardingthese fruits. Small fruits shared inbhe injury wrought by the heavy frost in the latter part of May; good yields were exoeption- al. In the Northern Districts, whore wild fruits are usually depended upon, the yield was fair, with the exception of cranberries. In Tient and one or two other counties,• complaints are made that nuts were also hurt by the frosts taking them when beginning to form. LADoa AND WAGNs--Tho supply of farm laborers has been about equal to the de- mand, except in a few districts where local causes, such as the building ofa railway or lumbering operations have canoed in scarcity. Several correspondents state that many young men have left for the North-west, and that much of the work has now to be done by boys or im- migrants; and, in referring to immigrants as workers on a farm, one correspondent says : "A first-class native is worth two old-oouutry men." The majority of cor- respondents are of opinion thatwages will remain about where they aro ; a tow predict a rise, while a considerable num- ber assert that if the low prices at present prevailing for farm produce continue to rule, wages must fall, as under existing conditions it does not pay to hire much farm help. Domestic servants are gen. erally scarce. Urban life, with its lighter tasks, its higher wages, and its opportun- ities for sight-seeing, has a powerful at- traction for country girls who must do for themselves, and to manyfemalesfarm work isa dreary drudgery. This question of domestic) service is an eoonomio and oocial problem that might be discussed with profit at Farmers' Instibates. THRESHING AND MARKETING.—Threshing was well advanced when correspondents wrote, in some sections the work being almost completed. The weather was favorable on the whole, and owing to the general use of steam threshing macbinee the work eau bo cleared off rapidly, com- pared with the old method of horsepower. Some correspondents, however, point out tho faot that, owing to the large amount of straw, the grain could not be ae quick- ly threshed out as was expected. But while threshing is unusually forward marketing has been very slow, which is generally attributed to the low prices ruling for the various grains. Early in the season barley was inclined to move freely, but the drop in prices checked it to a great extent. A few correspondents report the marketing of wheat, but the general tendency is to hold back for a rise. Oats have been sold to a very small extent outside of the lumber regions, and the other grains are equally slow in find. ing a market, owing to low prices. In fact, a duller season for marketing groin has not been reported to the Bureau for years. A few correspondents, in some way, connect the Millers' Association with the low prices offered for wheat, while others deolare that at present prices near- ly all the grains had better be fed to stook. Bess AND HONEY.—The reports contains. ing the apiary are, upon the whole, very favorable. Not a single oorreepondent has made mention of any disease among bees. Notwithstanding the cold weather of the latter part of May, and the wet and backward state of the first half of Jane, the honey product for the year has been very good, averaging about 75 lb. per colony, 'spring count, and covering a range of from 25 to 250 lb. for each original hive. The bees will go into winter quarters with an abundance of supplies. Swarming was very snooees- ful, stooks, as a rule, being doubled. Some apiarists report that there was too much swarming with a certain class of bee-keepere for good wintering, as some in the business trebled and quadrupled their stands. The market for honey has been good, the product being generally taken up readily atsatisfactory priors. Pommes, LemSTOOK AND SuerLrns.— Reports are uneven regarding fall pas- tures. In the Lake Erie, Lake Huron and West Midland counties the greater part of the reports are unfavorable, but in the other groups, more particularly in the St. Lawrence and Ottawa counties, good pastures have been ,the rule. As might be expected, the condition of cattle is much better in the eastern half of the province than in the western,; on amount of the better grazing. During the sum. mer a great many beeves were sold off the grass for the British markets, and there have been hardly as many as usual left to go into winter quarters. Ib would seem as if sheep were coming Into favor twain in the western counties.. Only a small proportion are now tattooed, the lambs, as'a general thing, being sold off the pasture to drovers oe butchers. Bev oral correspondenbe complain of thet aroh.enemy of the sheep raiser—the neighbor's dog. A very large number of Bogs were sold daring the fall, chiefly on foot. Pen fattening was nicely started as correspondents wrote.. Fodder is plentiful in every part of the province. There is a good supply of hay, andiron immense amount of straw ; and while, in counties corn and roots are short, the general outlook is bright as regards the wintering of farm stook. The silo is being tented in nearly every section of the country, but only to a limited ex. tent, Many are apparently awaiting the accounts next spring of the result of the experiments with the silos built this year by some of the more enterprising of our Ontario ferment, Tam DArnw.—There is little to note in Weis line out of the ordinary run. The usual difference c£ opinion is expressed as to the relative merits of butter and ahsese for profit; those near the cities preforeiug to make butter, while those in well-established cheese diatricte claim a decided advantage for factory -made cheerio. In most suctions of the oonnbey the drouth had the effect of eloeinlg the cheese faobories early, 80 that the amount of home-made bubter was oensiderably inncreaged' in the fall; Ono ooreeepondenb T UZ�JVT3 UL L c peporte (an improvement in butter en t ortouut of privatedairioa adopting cream- ory Methods, Another correspondent, a , as 08,' ToALLAN't'YNX, DECEMBER 6, 3.8k59. loading dairyman of eastern Ontario, says that complaints are being made that the prices at dairy produce have ruled low, but as a whole there is a cheerfulness in the reports regarding the condition of the cheese industry. Durham grades still lead as the 'favorite for nodose cows, as when they have gone dry they aro good fon beef, Ayrshires aro also popular, especially in the eastern dairy soations, bah there ie the moat noticeable advance in favor of the Holstein, which appears to have found friends Goat and wort. It is only just to state, however, that this breed is comparatively untried, except on some of the more fanny farms, and theb, like the ,Jersey, it is still on trial in this province, and bas to prove its worthiness to compete with the two Wailes at present leading. A few correspondents prefer the Polled Angus, the Devon or the Galloway, but the common Canadian cow is as ebrongly championed as any of the fancy strains. UNDEIimsANAGE.—Thars has been fair progress in underdrainingcompared with previous years, although thismeansthat on a great number of counties there are "only isolated instances, in the ease of progressive farmers," as one correspond- ent puts it. With the exception of one or two counties, there appears to have been an abundanoe of tile for the demand, but skilled labor for this department of farm work has been scarce in many plaoes. In Huron, Bruce and the north- ern towdships of Wellington, lumber is largely used in the construction of drains, and fn the more eastern part of the prov- ince stones are utilieed. It would appear as if tile -draining machines are not growing in favor. Here and thou mach- ines are reported as being in operation, but the number does not seem to be in- creasing to any appreciable extent, and in a few oases reports are made of their being discarded as practically useless. Tan YIELD or Onors.—The results of the thresbings prove that in the Septem- ber estimates too high a yield was cre- dited the various grains. Spring wheat has turned out to be only 14.3 bushels per sons, or 1.3 bushel lower than the estimate of September, and oars have dropped 1.6 per aore. The falling off in the yield of beaus' is greater still, being 3.3 bushels an acre. Oorn is the only grain that bas surpassed the September estimate, having increased from 46.4 bushels in the ear per acre ,to 49.4 bushels, but even these figures fall great- ly behind an average yield. Barley and buckwheat are the only grains whioh ex - (teed their average for the seven years 1882.9. Potatoes have improved upon the first estimate, but mongols, carrots and tur. nips, the latter especially, have not turn- ed out as well as promised early in the season. The differenoe between the esti- mates before and after pulling turnips was 80.5 bushels per acre, which moans considerably over 4,000,000 bushels of a decrease in the total for the province. None of the roots approach to anything like an average yield. Bev. J. W. A. Stewart, B. A., pastor of first Baptist church, Roohester, N. Y., will formally open the new Baptist church in Olinton, on December the 8th. A few days ago, as D.
