The Huron Expositor, 1870-08-19, Page 22, T H E HUR014 EXPOSITOR. AUG T. 19. 1879. The Crops in Perth. The Stratford Beacon publishes the fol- lowing succinct crop reports, from the sev- eral Townships within the County of Perth :— ` ELMA AND WALLACE. Fall wheat was badly Nvinter killed, and a large portion of it was consequently ploughed• under in the spring to make way for other crops. What was left standing has turned out much better theft was antici- pated, and most of it has been harvested in good condition, although some which :was cut early has grown a little in the shock. The probable average will be ten bushels to the acre, and the sample is fine and plump ; indeed we never saw -better, it being free from rust and midge. The Diehl and Soule's varieties seemed to stand the winter best. Spring wheat, on properly fallewed land, promises to be a good crop. That sown on fall wheat grand will not be an average. We hear some rumors of midge ; but have seen no evidence of it ourselves. d edging from observation and information it will be a good average crop --say 18 bushels to the acre. . Barley is a full crop all over these townships. It is -a little short in the straw in some localities, but the heads are large and well filled, and the sample is plump and bright. The yield, so far as we can judge, will be from 25 to 35 bushels per acre. Oats look splendid ; we never saw greater promise at this season. Sona fields are beaten down by the recent storms, but, on the whole, we may anticipate an unusually heavy yield. _ Peas promise abundantly. The vines are long, well podded and the pods well filled. A few fields were injured by the rain, but not sufficient to affect, the general yield. We think the yield will ex- ceed last year's crop z-0 per cent Hay was a good fair crop, although not so heavy as last year. It was somewhat damaged by. the frequent showers dui ing the harvest. The yield .will be quite sufficient for the wants of the country. Owing to the erec- tion in Listowel by the Messrs. Livingstone Bros., on an extensive scutching mill, there has been a considerable breadth of flax rais- ed this season. The crop is a good average, and of properly prepared land a heavy yield. From present indications the lovers of potatoes have every reason, to rejoice, as we never saw greater promise. The new kinds (Harrison, Goodrich and Early Rose) especially, promise an abundant yield. Tur- nips, carrots, . and mangolds, look well. Fruits are very little grown in these town • ships. We have, however, seen some ap- ple and plum trees well loaded. TTege- tables of all kipds never looked better at this season. FULLARTON. The yield of grain this harvest will not be so large as appearances led farmers to anticipate. Fall wheat was badly winter - killed, but turns outa fair sample. It will average about 11 bushels per acre. Some very good pieces of spring wheat can be seen, but in most cases the crop is blighted and weavel-eated. From five to ten bushels per acre is all that is expected. Barley and oats are a fair average crop. Peas have suf- fered from the ravages of the mice, and will be below the average. We hear no com- plaints about potatoes, although it was• re- ported_ that the rot had appeared - in some localities. Turnips, carrots, and other green crops -axe growing prodigiously. LOGAN. As rn many= other parts of the western peninsula, the fall wheat in this township was badly winter -killed. The sample, how- ever, of what there is is very good. Spring wheat is badly blighted by the alternate rains and schorching-heat, If it yields an average of 10 bushels per acre farmers may be:well satisfied. Peas badly injured ty wet—average 20 bushels per act e. Oats heavy—average 40 bushels. Barley injur- ed by the wet—average 20 bushels. To make up the deficiencies in • the yield of other crops, flax is excellent this year in quality ualit and growth. owth. MORNINGTON. As near as can at present be judged,- tall wheat will not be more than half a crop. Early sown spring wheat will yield an aver- age —about 10 or 12 bushels an acre—but that sown late, and which will not be ripe .for some days yet. will barely pay for reap- ing . and threshing. Barley will yield a good average -20 bushels, Peas which happened to be • sown early, on good, dry land, will prove a very fair crop ; but the late sown is very inferior, and will scarcely pay the expense .,of harvesting. The oat crop will be considerably above the average. Roots promise splendidly, should the weath or continue fine and dry, but more rain wili have a disastrous effect. NORTH EASTHOPE. The crops, generally speaking, are much bet1 r than was—at one time anticipated. There was a great breadth of fall wheat - mown ; but it presented such a miserable appearance in the spring that a great por- tion of it was ploughed up. However, what was allowed to remain is really good, the head being long, well filled, and the grain remarkably plump. Spring wheat, as:_a rule, will be an average. crop. - The early sown wh.Qat will be very good, but that sown late will not be quite up to the nark, the severe drought inthe month of June'baving retarded . its growth consider- ably. Barley, oats, and peas will be quite an average crop. . Root crops are splendid, _ the late rains favoring their gro wth won- - derfully. DOWNIE. A large breadth of fall wheat was sown East season, larger than usual ; but owing to its having .been badly winter -killed aver- la Acres were ploughed down in spring. There ` was . left, however, a considerable quantity, and the quality is better than was generally anticipated. Therry is large, plump and clear, and the ears are well fil- led. The average yield will 20 bushels an acre. Early sown spring wheat is very good, but that sown late is comparatively poor, owing to the rainy weather ; and it is slightly affected by 'ruet. ' An ; average breadth, was sown ; and the yield will be about 15 bushels to the acre. Of barley- a more than usual quantity was sown, the quality being very good. : The yield will be about 45 bushels to the'acre. Peas is a fair average crop ; but where not affected by rain—as it is on lowlands—it is very su= perior. Oats—above an avertfge ; yield from 50 to 60 bushels. Potatoes present. a very good `appearance, but damage by the almost continuous rains is apprehended. Turnips and carrots promise more than an average yield. BLANCHARD. The farmers of this township ;having great faith in fall wheat, last season sowed a large breadth of it ; but in the spring they had to plough up portions which were win- ter -killed. There remained, however, fine large fields of it, and notwithstanding the prognostications of the croakers, the yield is a very good one, the average being about 25 bushels an acre. Spring wheat suffered considerably from rain, and consequently the prospects of a, heavy crop are not as promising as would be wished. It will, are think, average 15 bushels per acre.— Barley also suffered from the wet, and the crop can only be pronounced a comparative- ly indifferent one. Peas may be consider- ed a fair -average crop. Oats are very heavy, and promise an abundant yield, probably 50 bushels to the ,acre would not be too high an average' to expect. Root crops are four- ishiag. ELLI CE.. Fall wheat may this year be considered a failure here. It never was cultivated to any great extent, but there is less of it this year than ever. Except in the lowest of the low places, spring wheat will be of an average crop. Complaints are rife about blight, rust, &c., with what degree of te��- son we are unable to determine ; but fancy the murmerings are not wholly groundless. Peas and barley will yield pretty fairly though not as largely as appearances- at one time indicated. Oats look promising. Roots will probably be abundant and good. HIBBERT. Fall wheat in this township was a good deal winter -killed, `about two thirds of it having to be ploughed up; and what was left will not yield well—scarcely a fair av- erage. Of spring'wheat there was not as large a. quantity as usually sows, ; and the greater proportion of the farmers, fearing the usual ravages of the midge, did not sow sufficiently early, the consequence being' that the crop is badly injured by rust and blight, caused by the extreme we'. The average yield throughout the township, so far as we can judge—and -our opinion is to a large extent based on personal inspection —will not exceed 12 bushels an acre. Oats will be a good average crop. A larger quantity of barley than usual was -sown ; and the yield .will be a good average one. Peas scarcely an average—injured by the wet. Potatoes present a promising appear- ance, and should they escape damage by wet, and rot, there will be a large yield.- Turnips and other roots are promising favor- ably. Curious Electrical Phenomenon. The French correspondent of the British Journal of Photography is responsible for -the following story:— In the private apartments of the Wiper - or s palace, it is related that a lady in high position -in very high position, in fact— went near a mantlepiece where she felt all of a sudden a slight commotion . she drew back naturally, and again approached—a new shock, a sharp prick. Illusion was im- possible, however she would try it again. The communication was increased in ener- gy, and the prick became painful. What- ever: was the matter? and, calling several persons of her suite, she said, "Try, then," to one of them 'to whom she related the strange adventure. The lady tried, a slight cry of astonishment escaped her; for she too had felt the shock of the pricking. The grand lady then begged her husband to try. He a little incredulous, but smiling, ven- tured to the magic mantlepiece. When he was within a few inches of the mantlepiece, a fine jet of bluish fire was seen to pass from. the marble to his clothes. What was the mystery' _ They sent off to the Sorbonne for one of the - professors—not as in old times ; they would have called in a magi- cian. M. Jamin, one of the finest experi- menters ever seen at the lecture table, post- ed off to the be rildered palace. This mantle -piece received him with showers of characteristic crackling spark._ "Ah ! that is electricity," said M. Jamins, and in a few seconds he found a key to the mystery. Be- fore the mantle -piece was a magnificent bear's skin; every time ween one walked upon it the friction generated electricity, which manifested itself in its usual forms of sparkS.and shocks. M. Jamin rubbed the bearskin, and the sparks multiplied. -.••* Anson Burlingame, while a student at the University of Michigan, wrote an essay on history, ir. which he expressed the opinion that " by close application a young man in one year's time can become acquainted with the principal events which have transpired since the creation of the world, and thus certainly make himself an_ ornament to so- ciety, and that t erefore it ' seems strange that any individ al will, rather waste his time in perusing ction, which only leaves him cause tore ` t." The future'diplomat- ist was but seven en years old when he wrote that. GEO. PEDLER'S WM. F.

THE PAIN KILLER, COURT OF CHAN- CERY, &C., &C., &C. Perry 1)avis and Radway have played °out in the United States, and now they come to this, country, and are trying, with the aid of the Court of Chancery, to compel the Canadian pub- lic to use their nostrums, but they find it up- hill work, as the public has become alive to the danger of using such nostrums. Radway has to bladder the corks of his to keep it from eating them up, and where is the man who would like to put such trash ihto his stomach ? And the London " Star," of the 30th September, 1867, tells the qualities of Perry Davis' Pain Killer, as it not only killed the pain of G. A. Hill, but it killed him, and Davis warns the purchasers to be careful to get the genuine Pain. Killer,—so I judge that G. A. Hill mast have got the genuine, as they admit that his wife gave him a tea- spoonful of the Pain Killer at midnight, and before the light of day he was dead. Perry Davis is dead and so is his Pain Killer, as was shown by them on oath, in Court last May, in the City of Hamilton. They swore that I reduced their sales in Canada, in 1865, over $10,000, and in three years $27,304, as they could not compete with me, they asked the Court of Chancery to driveme out of the . market. From the disrepute brought on the word Pain Killer by the present parties, i have changed name of my Pain Killer formerly, to PAIN KU- RER. The Pain- Kurer has cured cases of the the most obstinate character of Epileptic Fits. Experience has fully demonstrated that no remedy has proved so universally prompt andl' efficient in. relieving Cholera, Cholic, Pains, Coughs and in fact every pain and ache that the human family.. is subject to, as the PAIN KURER ; it is besides a safe remedy. KENNEDY'S LINIMENT Has been the means of curing diseases of various kinds that hal baffled all other remedies, besides the skill of our most practical doctors. Victoria Hanlon, Sister of Charity, cured of Erysipelas, after a test and suffering of two yeais, by four of our.leading doctors, and. left as a hopeless case. Mr. Whine, of Peterborough,—his son made to walk after being for years without the use of his limbs and after all the medical faculty had failed even the no torious Dr. Potts tried his skill to the amount of fifteen dollars. Joseph Clarkson, Town of Barrie, his son was restored to his sight, after being nine months blind. - Catharine Crawford, Hamilton, cured of para- lytic stroke, having lost the use of her arm and hand for six months, and four of our leading doc- tors tried to cure her, ene tried the Electric Bat- tery six times, all to no purpose, but two bottles of Kennedy'r Liniment., costing only 75 cents, aured her as well as ever she was. Those cases .above are only a few of many thousands in pos- session of the proprietor from all parts of the world.eu will only hear one sentiment, Riad that is that a bottle of Kennedy's Liniment is worth a hundred of any other preparation for cu- ring everything. KENNEDY'S HAIR RESTORATIVE Contains no sulphery sediment norany unhealthy drug. It will -return any head of hair after be - coining grey, to its natural colour, and make it more beautiful than at the age of 18. No lady or gentleman will ever become bald. or grey who uses Kennedy's;Hair Restorative according to di- rections with each bottle. For immediate dress- ing and beautifying the hair as well as a way of promoting its; continuedand luxuriant growth, the Restorative has no equal. .
