The etatoment of Mr Van Horne, Pres-
ident of

18 months wheat is likely to xeaoh two dol.

.Mr Van Horne vouoheaf ed this information
to the editor of the Toronto Saturdaye
Night, and prefaced his opinion
by
remark;—"You fellows write very sagely
pn the prioe of wheat, and yet I never met
, one of you who knows enough about it to
Make your oppinion worth much." Having
• thus established the ignorance of Canadian
journalists regarding the subject, the rail-
way magnate proceeded to eay: "Of course

Now, if the editors of Ontario are as ig-

Van Horne charges, it is rather strange.

Now, 450 feet—twenty-seven rods—is a

So far as accuracy of statistics are con-
cerned it will be seen that the figures sup-
plied by the Ontario Government to its
farmers are approximately close to those
hezarded by Mr Van Horne. We admit
that the prediction regarding wheat mount-
ing to two dollars a bushel is original with
the big railway man. But he is a bold
prophet who proclaims an increase of say
200 per cent. in the value of wheat within
a year and a half.

Killing Harmful Insects.
Recent researches in economic en-
tomology prove that the immediafe de•
atruction of pertain predaceous inseots is
not always the most pertain way of meet-
ing the evil caused by them. It has been
pointed out by the United States Entomo-
logist, Prof. C. V. Riley, in his last ad-
dress before the Association of Economic
Entomologists, that immediate destruction
too frequently destroys at the same time
the parasatic Meads, with whioh many in-
jtirious insects are accompanied, and that a
plan that will allow these to develop with-
in their hosts is much more certain to
further interests of agriculturists. This
is well illustrated in the case of the com-
mon bag worm, a species much aubjeot to
parasites. If their cases or bags are gath-
ered in the winter, as is the usual custom,
both bag worms and their enemies will
have been destroyed alike. But if they be
gathered together in some vessel and kept
until the following summer in some lo-
cality far removed from any trees or
shrubs upon whioh they can feed; the
young worms as they emerge will be able
to crawl for but a short distance before
they perish from want of food. And their
parasites, which emerge in the winged
state, will be able to fly away in search of
other arrays to conquer. In this way the
farmer can protect an almost microscopic
friend who in a day will do more toward
the extermination of'their common enemy
than will he in a month. This is but one
typical case of very many; and it serves
also to call attention to the unfortunate

"Cave of Adullam," formed by Mr. Lowe,
Mr. Horsman and Lord Eloho, he was de-

Russell -Gladstone Reform bill. Lord
Derby's stop gap administration succeeded,
if not in "stemming the tide of demo-

Derby -Disraeli Reform bill of 1867, it ie
true, cost the government the support of
Lord Cranborne, Lord Carnarvon and
General Peel, but in the form in which it
was allowed to pass into law it was to all
intents and purposes the bill of Mr. Bright
and of the advocates of household suffrage.
Lord Derby might well desoribe it as a
"leap in the dark," Household suffrage
conditional on one year's residence, the
abolition of the "compound householder," a
£12 franchise in counties, a £10 lodger
franchise, represented concessions sufficient
to leave it a little doubtful when Mr. Dis-

1868.
The election of 1868 was fought upon
the question of the Irish church. Mr.
Gladstone had, it will be remembered, sue-
oeeded in carrying both his resolutions and
the Snspensory bill against Mr. Disraeli by
a majority of sixty, and when he came
back from the country he mustered 382
followers against 278 Conservatives—a ma-
jority of 104—and he retained his power
for five years and seventy days, when he
paralyzed his Harty by deciding to dissolve
Parliament on January 26, 1874.
1874.
The dissolution was of course due to the
'petty defeats and humiliations which the
government had suffered since, on the de-
feat of the Irish Universities Education
bill, Mr. Disraeli had refused to relieve
them of the cares of office. There was,
too, a desire that the electors shouiddeoide
