Southworth, of the On- tario Colonization Department, has returned from an extended tour of the Temiskaming district: where he seems to have found things much to his liking, Most of the settlers are, he says, from Ontario proper, and number between 8.000 and 10.000.— The crops look well and many of the settlers will raise enough frons. •their own lands to tide them over the winter. Many mills are being erected in the district and towns and villages are growing at a fair- ly lively pace. Between thirty and forty years ago 2.40 wits considered a good per- formance on the race -course, and it was predicted at that day that if the record ever reached 2 20 the limit and endurance • of .the best strain of horses would have been reached., yet that, and numerous other limit !narks, have been grad- ually passed until to -day the world's record is two minutes flat, for trotters, and 1.59 for pacers.— Both these performances have tak- en place this summer, and within a couple of weeks—Dan Patch now holding the pacer record and Lou Dillon that of the trotters. The tracks on which these events took place are at Brighton Beach, N.Y., and Reading. Mass.

The Western draws near again - with every prospect of maintaining or surpassing the high average of success and efficiency. attained in the past few veers. The volume of entries is stela that the capacity of every department will be fully tax ed. While it is needless to tell pat- rons of the Western that the quasi• ty of°the ethibits in all Agricultur- al- lines will be the highest that harvest conditions can show. As an Agricultural and Live Stock Ex- hibition it is generally conceded to be second to none. It has become almost indispensible to the fanners of Western Ontario, as an educa- tional factor in all that relates to husbandry in its highest develop- ment.. A specialreason wily this year's exhibition should make a new re- cord in patronage is the general diffusion of prosperity which marks " the growing time." Work is more plentiful among the laboring classes and wages higher than for years, while.the farmers are enjoy- ing high prices for nearly all their products, combined -with fairly abundant crops. Naturally all are in a cheerful frame of mini and have more money to spend, so that the Fair should profit correspond- ingly, and doubtlessly will. The farriers will be more than usually well repaid for the attendance this year. They will see for the first time exhibits from several stock - growing States across the border. These have boldly- challenged com- parison with Canadian stock and will prove an interesting addition to the splendid exhibit of live stock for which the Western is famous.— Visitors will also find great im- provements in other departments. Machinery Hall and Implement buildings will again take on their old-time activity. Leading manu- facturers from the Unifed States and some of our own manufacturers have secured large spaces and will show large lines of their goods in motion. A partial list of the at- tractions was given in a former article, more have been added, suffi- cient to say that the best that mon- ey can procure has been scoured.— The Bombardment of Alexandria will be the big fireworks sensation, the most brilliant and awe-inspir- ing sight ever -witnessed in London. No one should miss this year's Fair as no trouble or expense has been spared to make it the best that has been. The Extension. of Markets for Ag- ricultural Pro duets. CIDER APPLES. • In view of the short ' fruit crop there is likely to be a good demand in Britain for boiling and cider - making apples. Tho Department • has received *idvieea from the Cans adianHighcoznmissioner in London to the effect that one firm would take 5,000 tons of each of the above sorts. ' Mr. Moore is now in com- munication with the leading fruit shippers to ascertain whether •they Can fill the order. The possibility of shipping cider is also being- in- vestigated. A trade of this sort would afford facilities for selling to advantage the immense quantities of cull apples which now go to zwrste•in this country. FOOD -STUFFS FOR SOUTH AFRICA. Recent letters recived at the De- partment indicate that o1a• account of drought the grain clops in the Transvaal will be short this season, and in consequence there is likely to be a good demand. for Canadian fond products in the sister colony, especially as the supply was lorge- ly consumed daring tate late desper ate struggle of the; two contending armies in the field Forcasts for September. BY IRL R. HICKS. The storm diagram shows a nuni- bei• of disturbing causes present in September. The centre of tate Ven- us period rightly falls about the same date with the centre of Earth's Egtunox, extending its influence over the whole month. The Mars period does not wholly pass off un- til near the middle of September. The first storm period for Septeims ber is central on. the 4th extending from the 2nd to the 7th. Signs of approaching change and storms will appear about the 3rd weather will grow warmer in the west, the barometer will begin falling in the same region, and cloudiness and rain will follow, growing in volume as they pass eastward, and reach- ing a culminating crisis from the 5th to the 7th. Autumnal thunder storms and squalls will be natural in many sections On the 6th and 7th Look for decided change to cooler in the west as these storms pass eastward, the cool, clearing weath- er following the storms to the ex- treme east. Weather changes will come in rapid succession at this time, but we believe that the dominant state of the weather will be warns above the average. The 9th, 10th and 11th are reactionary storm days, on and about which marked storm con ditions will arise.

It need scarcely be added that Mr. Moore will always be found ready to afford enquirers any information in his power re- garding the markers for Canadian agricultural products. FRUIT. PULP. During the past few weeks con- siderable correspondence has reach- ed the Markets Division from Great Britain, with especial reference to fruit pulps, particularly raspberry. The fruit crop in the United King- dom, and on the' continent, is very poor, and consequently there is a considerable demand for foreign, or rather colonial, fruit pulp. The Market- is noiv bare of suppliies, and as new Australian will not ar- rive before March next, an excel- lent opportunity is offered for Can- nadi.an canners, if they have the goods to fill orders. Unfortunate- ly, it appears that the Canadian raspberry crop was also short this season, The canners, have, how- ever, been placed in possession of all the information at •Mr. Moore's disposal, and considerable business has already resulted. All the pulp available will doubtless be disposed of at once at good i rices, { Cook's Cotton Root Compound. Is successfully lased monthly by over 10,000Ladies. Safe, effectual.

One of two extremes always results under such astronomical conditions as ex- ist at this time—general and violent storms, or the almost total absence of storms, with a prolonged period of phenominally hot, brassy weath- er, ending in many earthquake and seismic disturbances, We are in- clined to believe that the latter will result at this time, but it is one of those peculiar problems that no one can positively solve before hand, in the present state of knowledge.— But that one of the two extremes above mentioned will result is a fact that may bo counted on. If 'storms are to be the rule they will be out of the ordinary, on both sea and land, and timely indications 'will show that such is going to be the result. If dry. hot, brassy weather shottid hold .for many days its peculiar intensity will be re- marked by all, and at the breakup, earthquakes vicious storms and change to • quite cold may be looked for. The last storm period for the month is central on the 27th, ex- tending from the 25th to the 30th. We predict that this period will bring a series of severe storms, and that the crisis of these disturbances will fall on and touching -the 26th to 29th. This final enitnination may not reach most sections before the opening days. of October, but such change is `almost a •certainty before the end of the Mercury dis- turbance Which is central on Sep- tember 30th. .
