Linen Goo , 0•0019~ANMAAWAAAAAANSA A. glance at our windows at almost any time will be convin- cing proof of the claim that we carry a complete and tasteful range of Men's Shirts, Collars and Cuffs, Dickys, etc. In fact all lines of Linen Goods which are in use for men's wear. The first cut defines a style of Shirt, which we have in the laundried condition at 64c, .$1, and $1.25. Of course the low line is good value; but for all that we think that it pays ;to buy linen goods, especially shirts in the better qualities, and as one of the better 'qualities we can unhesitatingly recommend the Si Shirt as a rarity in value.

The Collar trade divides itself into two distinct brauctles, which rctay be briefly described as " comfort " and For those peofile who pall for comfort, letting style take care of itself,, --the illustration of the Turn Collar displays as ranch solid comfort as it is possible to obtain in.a collar. The prices which we can furnish this style at are two Collars for 25c, and. at 20c each. The 20c Collar sells in lots of dozens at $2. - Touching on the class who like the up-to-date and new, the following cuts represent that which is most in demand by up- to-date dressers. The prices are like the turn -down shape, two for 25p, and 20c each. A matter which is a very source of annoyance to many is the question of size. It roay be, therefore, of interest to many that we carry a full assortment of large sizes in Shirts up to 17 and 171, and in Collars up to 171 ELGRAVE. HEIGHTS -f and 18.

Along the fences and in sheltered spots, as point d out by a number of cor- respondents, t e beat fall wheat has been found, which act shows the importance of windbrakee. ust has been more common than usual thi year. The Hessian fly was complained of n a few of the western coun- ties, but inset) injury was light compared to the damage done to the crop by the try- ing weether of February, The time ot cut- ting ranged fri m the beginning of July to the olue of th i month, according to the lo- eationtand dat of sowing.

RAY AN) CLOVER BELOW AVERAGE. The produ tion of hay and clover will be somewhat blow the average,the. principal cause of the hortage being the heavy frosts of last winte , which in the absence of snow killed a grea deal of the clover in every part of th Province. Drouth has been another, tho gh a minor, factor, in decreas- ing the yiel . The quality of the crop is generally ve y highly estimated, it having been got in, s a rule, in excellent condition, though in 801 e of the Western counties rain interfered a ood deal With the haying, and caused som injury, more particularly to that out earl in the seaeon. On the whole, however, th loss from this cause has been but trifling. Sonne correspondents antici- pate a scarcity of [clover seed. ;URN 'IS BAOKVVARD.

On the whole, how. ever, the manges, carrots and beets promise well, Of turniPe the correspondents do not speak so encouragingly, as this crop pre- sents a poor appearance in many places, es- pecially where late sown, and therefore more liable to feel the effects of the drouth. Some damage from the effects of the gran - hopper, turnip fly and other insect petite is noted. SCARCITY OF FRUIT. There is likely to be a scarcity of fruit this season, owing to , various causes. The severe winter.destroyed a large proportion of the fruit trees in some sections, and appears to have injured many which sur- vived. Heavy rains during the blossoming season greatly interfered with fertilization, as did frost in some neighborhood.. The tent caterpillar, cumuli°, codling moth and other, injurious insects, hove also made great havoc among the orchards, except , where they have been kept in check by sin- tematio spraying. The apple crop is very light, but as a rule, the quality is good, and the fruit fairly free frorri scab, The winter verities promise better than the earlier kinds. Plums have done rather better than apples, though greatly subject to attackof the cumuli°. The yield in moat localities where they are grown is poor, bat they will be abundant in some places. The peach crop is practically a failure, owing L to the general des ruction of the trees, which id -the other v ritiee. Those which rem in suffered man ore a verely from the winter t have borne -fairly well in some ,neighbor- hoods, but the total product is small. Pear trees have noten so prolific as usual, and le the supply will be light. • There was about an average ore of cherries, though some damage from w rms and black knot is speci- fied. Reports oneerning the vineyards are highly encoura mg, the vines being healthy and well lade promising an abundant-, supply of grape. Berries and small fruits have been ge erally plentiful and good, though in ma y localities they have run rather small in nsequenee of the drouth. FASTU E AND LIVE STOCK. Reports as t the condition of pastures, and the effect u on the supply of fodder and dairy produce, vary greatly, according to locality. In the Lake Erie and Lake On- tario counties, and some other parts, the pastures are generally dried up and bare, resulting in a considerable falling off in the supply ot milk and a shortage in dairy pro- duce, with discouraging prospects for the keeping of cattle during the fall and winter. The latter difficulty, however, has been largely met by the more general planting of corn and the storage of ensilage, so that no scarcity is apprehended, unless in except- ional cases. In the northern and. eastern parts of the Province, where more rain has fallen, the pasturage has remained good, with abundant supplies of milk for dairying purposes, and prospects of a plentiful supply of feed for stock. In addition to drouth, another cause which has resulted in a de- crease of the milk supply, is that more calves are being raised than usual in some parts. Live stock as a rule are in good con- dition, with a marked absence of anything like serious disease, the principal drawback being the prevalence of thehorsefly, which has been very troublesome in many cases. " LABOR AND WAG S. The demand for farm la or is still de- creasing, owing to the now requent prac- tise of doing all the ordin ry farm work without other 'assistance han that fur- nished by the family, or th exchange of work among the neighbors. he falling off in the extent to which the hiring system has .been adopted, renders the supply of help in most localities fully adequate, except during t e temporary pressure of the har- vest. C mplainte of scarcity come from many cm nem, owing to the laborers leave - ug for Manitoba and the northwest, or en- tering up n other employments in the Pro- vince. sreat difficulty has consequently been experienced in 'obtaining extra men for the harvest in some neighborhoods. The variatian in the rate of wages paid is NO great, even within the limits of the same •county, that it is difficult to indicate aver- age figures that will not be either mislead- ing or present to wide a margin that they will be of little, utility. As a general thiog wages appear to be somewhat higher in..the west than in the east, with a slightly up- ward tendency. out $1 or $1,25 per day with board seems to be about the standard or average wages for harvest hands, though as low as sixty or seventy cents is quoted Se the figure -in some cases, while, on the other hand, the scarcity of help in some neighbor- hoods has raised the figure to $1.50 and even $2, The rate for monthly engage- ments with beerd usually ramps between $15 and $20, anything over this figure be- ing for a short engagement covering the' summer season, while arrangements for long terms are frequently made at considerably lower figures. • Passed Their Exams.
