What more pleasant and restful for a sum-
mer's outing could one -choose than a re.
freshing lake trip though 11011141 of the
wildest,yet Most beautiful and bewildering
of scenery. With eupetb weather a good
eompiny and excellent meals, our trip from
Collingwood to Mackinac Island byethesteam-
hir City of Collingwood,wai in& intone as to
be thoroughly enjoyed and to prepare one
for a long winter's work, which we knew
full well would follow.
When we reached the ;vicinity of Barrie,
we received a foretaste a the pleasures in
store for us and we forgot that we had
crawled from our beds .before daylight that
morning to make a. dirty railway journey to
connect with our boat. After a hasty din-
ner at Collingwood we went aboard feeling
that we had left all care and -business be.
hind and had fully given ourselves over to
the contemplation of the pleasures before
us. But we, were a little too fast. We had
not yet left the businesS world sufficiently
behind, and we had it most forcibly im-
pressed on our minds when we began to
gather our belongings together and found
that some of our luggagehad not arrived,and
that some of us were left without euffieimit
clothing to insure e comfortable night's
sleep. :It was annoying in the extreme, and
the only hope held out to us was that it
might reach us at Owen Sound. We had
gaunt recovered from the shook -of
our lo t baggage,"ewhen the shout went
• up that a man was overboard. One of
the wheelmen who had imbibed too freely
was taken with asudden notion that he
wanted to be an angel, and with that he
tumbled himself into the water. That
brought him to his senses and he struggled
and yelled in anything but an angelic fash-
ion, but it was sufficient: o bring assistance
and he willingly went ashore to spend a
short time longer in this prosaic and wicked
world.
Missing baggage or net we enjoyed the
voyage t� Owen Sound, when we made a
raid on the tores to replenish our
somewhat scanty wardrobes, and then
strolled off to inspect the steamer
Manitoba, of which Mr'. W. Bethune, of
Seaforth, is purser. On reaching the bona
we were welcomed by Mr. Bethune, who
showed us over the boat, and after a few
pleasant minutes there, eve straggled back
to our own boat to await the unfortunate
baggage. With the late train it came and
how we fairly gloated over - those valises.
We would fain have taken them to bed
with us, but a steamer's bunk e'is not, con-
ducive to the display of such affection, and
we contentented ourselves with enrobing in
some of the contents and dropped to sleep
to dream of nice clean clothes to be donned
in the morning.
serving man, When he comes to
view himself or• his friends in-
dividuality, he comes to the con-
clusion that a man is a very
• small quantity in this world,
and it seems that the larger
space a man may think he occu-
pies, the smaller in reality is
his sphere of usefulness.
Reasoning thus, it occurred to us that
now, on the approach of our
semi-annual, futurity sale day,
Saturday, September 4th, it
might ti4t be out of the way to
examine and find out if the space
whicbw claim to occupy in the
clothing business of Seaforth
and vicinity, is really as large as
we think. settlement, or the camp of some pleasure
But when the morning came -plenty of the
passengers thought naught of clothes. We
were crossing the gap and with an unfavor-
able wind the merry crowd which.had pita
ered around the dinner table the preview
evening had dwindled , down considerably.
By noon the lake had , calmed itself and
gradually the people came forth from, their
hiding places; looking, for the most part, as
though nothing had happened. From this
out the waters ietained their calm and
smiling face and we were allowed to loll on
the deck and smoke our pipes peacefully,
whirthe ladies read or chatted pleasantly.
As we glide smoothly along, a kaleido-
scopic panorama of wild natural -beauty un-
folds itself on every side. Small islands
are everywhere, their rocky surfaces studded
with beautiful green trees ; while here and
there a bold rock pokes its head above the
surface. In the conteniplation of it one for-
gets all else and the power of description
forsakes you. We get occasional glimpses
as we skirt along Manitoulin Island of well
tilled farms with comfortable buildings and
again we see a lonely light house, an Indian
visit one of the many beautiful pleasure re-
sorts with which the lakes are famous. At
the park is a fine large hotel, and as we
wandered through it, we decided that here
we will spend our next holidays. There is
a dancing pavilion also, in whioh is. centred
the interest,of the excursionist, and as they
dance to the enigmal "calling off of one of
our wheelmen to music on a scrappy old
fiddle, they make plenty of fun for the
spectators. On the return trip the lines of
electric lights which border along the sides
of both the American and Canadian looks,
make a pretty picture indeed. But we are
tired and perhaps a little envious of the
bold-faced display of affection by the many,
happy excursionists, •anyway we go below
and climb into our beds.

Island, and long before we reach the island,

on the horizon, and surrounded by many.

sents an enchanting view. But more of
this anon. We have struck the dock and

In cutting two varieties ofi grain at different
stages of ripening, the results show thet the
grain cut before maturity dem not • give as
• large a yield as that which was allowed to
become fully ripened. The details of this
experiment can be more fully studied when
they are printed in the annual report of the
• college for 1897.
• The average results of an experiment con-
ducted for five years in succession, in sow-
ing winter wheat at different dates in the
autumn, show that the seedings of Septem-
ber 2nd and 3rd gave a of a bushel per acre
more than the seedings of September the
7th and 9th, and 7§ bushels per acre more
than the eeedings of September. 17th and
20th. It is found that it is not usually ad-
visable to sow winter wheat in the vicinity
of Guelph later than September 9th.
PREVENTION OF SMUT IN WHEAT.
• An experiment in treating seed wheat for
the prevention of smut has been contluoted
fortwo years with quite satisfactory re.
sults. Infected seed wheat not treated for
smut produced _a crop containing an average
of 2,146 smut balls per bushel of grain;
while that treated with potassium sulphide
produced an average of 109 balls of smut;
that treated with copper sulphate 12 balls
of smut, and that treated with hot water 9
balls of smut per bushel of grain. The hot
water treatment, which is one of the cheap-
est and most effectual remedies, consists in
immersing seed wheat for fifteen minutes in
hot water at a temperature of 132 degrees
F. The water should not go below 130 and
not above 135 degrees. Not only is the hot
wateretreatment very effectual in killing
the smut spores, but it frequently improves
the productive power of the seed, as shown
by the increased yield of grain per acre.
Every farmer in smut infected districts
should treat suffioient seed to insure the
harvesting of clean , grain for seed next
year.

As we near Sault Ste. Marie and, get into

and on every side are evidences of much
civilization and beats of all descriptions cat-
rying the commerce of the inland seas are
met and passed. Still we are loath to leave
behind the wild beauty of the - islands and
go, below reluctantly to sleek up that we
may go on shore and spy out the mysteries
of the great locks and other points of in-
terest.
We wander through the straggling Can-
adian town, and with this visit to tbe civi-
lized world comes a desire for home news,
but we seek in vain for a daily paper of re-
cent date. The town itself has little of in-
terest, although here is iituated one of ths
iargeat pulp mills in America. It is a large
stone building covering a considerable area
of ground, and as we saw it later in the
evening lighted at every window it present-
ed a most imposing appearance. The
" American Soo " has more the appearance
of a city, but it was too hot to wander over
it, and we turn our attedtion to the locks
and watched with interest the mitnyships of
commerce pass through from one lake to
the other. One cannot but be interested in
these wonderful works which make possible
a continuous route along the chain pf lakes.

Results of Winter Wheat Experi-
ments at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College, 1897.
EDITOR ExPosrroa,--One hundred and
eighty-nine plots have been devoted to win-
ter wheat experiments this season at the
Ontario Agriculeural College. Owing to
the late harvest and the- exceedingly wet
season no winter wheat bulletin can be
issued this year in time to be of much prac-
tical service before the period of winter
wheat seeding is reached.
In an experiment with ninety-one vari-
eties of winter wheat, grown under similar
condition in 1897, it is found that the seven
varieties which stand highest in yield ef
grain per acre are the same seven f varieties
which have given the largest yield i of grain
per acre among eighty-six varieties grown
on the experimental plots for four years in
succession. The following list gives the
names of these seven varieties with the
average yield per acre for four years, and
also with the average yield per acre for
this season

Gentlemen,—I have the honor to inform
you that for the academic year 1897.98 the
following modifications are made in the
revised regulations :
PUBLIC SCHOOL LEAVING EXAMINATION.

will, as formerly, be o e of the subjects of
examination. High s hoot pupils are not
eligible to write at th e examination.
FIRST FORM XAMINATION.
Alliteough the comparative order of the
yields of these seven varieties are
not the same in 1897 as in the average
four years, still the fact that they
gave the largest yields hi both cases
among all the varieties tested is a very im-
portant feature in theexperiment. ••
Land upon which 'peas were used as ,
green manure in 1896 produced a consider-
ably larger yield of wmter wheat per aore
than similar land upon which -rape or buck-
wheat had been used as a green manure, or
which had been worked as a bare summer
fallow. This experiment was conducted in
duplicate, but • for only one year. It is
being repeated this season in a similar way.
Large plump seed sown in the autumn of
1896 produced. 3§ bushels per acre more
than the small plump seed; 6 4-5 bushels
per sore more than shrunken seed, and 4§
