Pastures and Live Stock.—T e early part of the season was most unpromising for pas- tures'being so dry and cold, ut) frequent rainslater on brought meadows into the very hese 0011dition, generally rpo king. Live stook are in correspondingly god trim, hav- ing euffered from little but t1 horn fly, which, however, appeared later, in • the sea- son than usual, The flow of melt bas been large, and there will be a larg supply of dairy products. Farmers etip lying cheese factories appear to be more s tisfied with results this year than those i the butter line. There is every proapeoe • f an 'abun- dance of all kinds of fodder fot all and win - 'ter keep. Bees and Honey—The season has been a favorable one for the apiary. eels swarm- ed freely, and thele ha beeu a abundance of nectar in both field and fore t, more es- pecially in the case of white c over, which was more or less in blossom 11 summer. The yields reported range ,fro. 25 bo 100 pounds per colony, but the ay age for the province will be about 55 p undo, spring count. Little or no disease as been re- ported among bees, and ob t accounts they were said to be in a thrif condition. Farm, Labor and Wages.—F11 crops, and the migration of farmers' sons o New On- tario and to Manitoba and the orth-Weste created a demand for farm lab rers in On- •tario that could not be met du 'ng the rash of summer operations. Severs coereepond- ente reeer to the influx of Heigh immi- grants es having relieved the situation to some °newt, for while a num ir of these, having bad no previous experie•.ee in agri- cultural work, were a sore die ppointmente many of them have given good satisfaction. Wageenduring harvesting range from $L25 to $2 A day, according to loos ity, the skill of the worker, and the urgenc of the de- mand, for help, the average rate being about) $1.50 with board. Monthly w ges ran all the way from $20 to $40, and i • a few cases as highas $45, the prevailing q citations be- ing from $25 to $30, with srd. While many 'tamers were undoubtedl hard mull- ed for e while during harvest, the plan of interchenging labor proved to be of greet assistaece in some eases, and i proved ma- i:431nm" is also meneioned as ha Mg been of much help in meeting the ru h of work. On so ount of the scarcity and comparative- ly hig price of labor, a numbe of farmere are co eiderably behind in the r work, and others have had to let inten ed building impro merits lie over for the same cause.
