Just wtiat the war between Japan

Both nations are able to stand a costly
war, and the inhuman slaughter of

nations becominginvolved, itis a moral
certainty that the end in view will not

recall emir arca value, ',end causes them
to be appreciated, but rather, the careful
selection of the experiments, the regular
system underlying, the work, and the
hearty oo.operation of the exlrerimentera.
The {results of ten properly conducted ex.
perimente are of muoh more value than
those of ops hundred experiments; which.
lack pare and system. Many of the beat
farmers -of Ontario are now carrying on
these tests; the materials for the experi-
ments being distributed -annually through
thelmedium of the Agricultural Expert -
mental Union, which, is praotioally an as.
sedation of the ex -students of the Agri-
cultural College. Not oply is this materi-
al sent to the members of the Union, bat
also, to those other interested and pro-
gressive farmers throughout Ontario, who
have desired to join in the work and have
written for the necessary outfit.
In the autumn of 1893 nine valuable
varieties of winter wheat were selected
from seventy kinds tested at the Experi-
ment Station, These were divided into
two Bete, with five varieties in each set,
the Dawson's Golden Chaff being used in
every instanbe for the sake of compariso.n
Each applicant chose the set he desired,
and the live varieties were then sent to his
address. Each plot was 1-160 of an acre
in size, and the seed was sown at the rate
of 1 1-3 bushels per aore. One hundred
and fifty seven experimenters with winter
wheat have already been heard from this
season. Of this number, eighty-one favor-
ed us with satisfactory reports of oarefully
conducted experiments, sixty one furnished
partial reports, and fifteen wrote of failure
or unreliable results. The eighty one sat-
isfactory reports came from twenty six
counties, thirteen of which were situated
east and thirteen west of the City of
Guelph. The names of the different ex-
perimenters and the detailed resulte of the
tests will be printed in the annual report
of the Experimental Unior for 1894, which
is published as an appendix to the Agri-
cultural College report. The nine varieties
were grown upon the experimental plots at
the station in exact accord with the in-
structions sent out over Ontario. As the
Dawson's Golden Chaff was sent to every
experimenter, it is possible to . obtain a
very reliable comparison of all the kinds
distributed. The following table gives the
average amount of straw and of grain per
acre, of the varieties grown on eighty one
Ontario°farms:

As the reports of the partial and unreli-
able experiments have been discarded, and
only the satisfactory ones used for the
above table, this summary should be of
great value, and one well worthy the
careful attention of the farmers of Ontario.
The conclusions drawn and the remarks
made by many of the experimenters indi-
cate much thought, accuracy and good
judgment.
Thc,foliowing, facts _.have ._:been -obtained
from the eighty one reports ander consid-
eration: -
1 The Dawson's Golden Chaff gave the
largest yield of grain per acre among the
nine varieties tested over Ontario in 1894,
as well as among the eleven varieties test-
ed in 1893.
2 The Dawson's Golden Chaff was de-
cidedly the most popular variety with the
experimenters in both 1894 and 1893.
3 The American Bronze, Dawson's Gold-
en Chaff, and Early Genesee Giant pos-
sessed the strongest, and the Bulgarian
the weakest straw.
4 The Dawson's Golden Chaff and Stir -
prise were the least, and the Early Gene-
see Giant and American Bronze were the
most affected by rust.
5 The Dawson's Golden Chaff and Early
Red Clawson were the first to mature.
6 The Dawson's Golden Chaff and Early
Red Clawson produced the largest quantity
of grain per hundred pounds of straw.
7 The Counties of Norfolk, Middlesex,
Huron, Lambton, Bruce, Simooe and Kent
furnished fifty out of the eighty-one best
reports received.
8 The average yield of the nine varieties
of winter wheat tested over Ontario was
31.5 bushels per acre, and the average of
the same varieties grown on similar sized
plots at the Experiment Station was 39.5
bushels per acre.
9 The general behavior of the varieties
tested over Ontario was quite similar to
that of the same varieties grown at the
Experimental Station.
10 Among the 155 experimenters who re-
ported the results of their tests with winter
wheat, only five speak of wishing to dis-
continue the co-operative experimental
work, and much interest is manitested
throughout.
For more detailed particulars regarding
these nine varieties, as well as those of
seventy-one others, which have been tested
at the Experiment Station, the reader is
referred to the Bulletin on Winter Wheat,
which is now being printed by the De-
partment of Agriculture, Toronto.
nIsTEIBUTION OF SEMI.
The Experimental Union has furnished
sufficient money for the distr.bation of
two thousand five hundred packages of
winter wheat over Ontario this year. These
will supply five hundred experimenters
with five varieties each. The following
varieties have been chosen and are divided
into two sets as indicated below:—
See 1.—Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early
Red Clawson, Jones' Winter Fife, Sur-
prise, American Bronze.
SET 2.—Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early
Genesee Giant, Early Wbite Leader,
Early Ripe, Pride of Genesee.
The seed will be sent out by mail free to
all applicants, and the produce of the plots
will, of course, be the property of the ex
perimentors; and in return we will hope to
receive full reports of carefully conducted
tests. Tho grains will be forwarded in the
order in which the applications aro re-
ceived until the limited supply of some of
the varieties is exhauated. Tho "instrnc-
tion sheets" and "blank forms" necessary
for the work will bo sent at thetime the
rains are forwarded. Those who wish to

The Salvation Army "Harvest
Thanksgiving Festival."
In 1892 Commandant H. W. Booth
hit upon a new idea for raising funds,
by inatturating a plan for clearing poor
corps and officers of debt. The plan
was an annual "Harvest Festival
Scheme," to be held all over the Do-
minion and Newfondland on certain
dates. This year the dates are:. For
Canada, Saturday, Sunday and Mon-
day, September 1st, 2nd and 3rd.—
In this scheme it is possible for all who
appreciate the Army's work to assist
in some way or other. The officers of
the various corps are instructed to
visit friends and collect from them
anything they are able to contribute,
whether it he in'' cash or otherwise.
Gifts of produce, groceries,fruit, grain,
cattle, poultry, or anything of any des-
cription which is saleable. Atter the
collection of these various articles a
sale of the same is arranged and the
proceeds placed into one common fund
to help out the debts mentioned.
Commandant Booth hopes by this
scheme, also, to replenish the store-
houses of his various institution, such
as Rescue Homes for fallen women,
Men's Shelters, Children's Institutions,
Home for Sick Officers, also hie Social
Farm, so that it will be unnecessary to
srend money on these articles during
the fall and winter. He contends
that, though money is scarce, the land
is laden with good things, and he calls
upon those who have enough and to
spare to remember those who are not
so favorably circumstanced.
The lligh Court of Independent Fores-
ters, in session at Peterboro, selected Lon.

family were retiring. There will be no
inquest. Minardns had been out of busi-
ness for some time, and, it is said. had
fallen into irregular habits. His life is
said to be insured in two companies for
$2,000. He was a member of the Masonic

The counsel for MacWherreil, the con-
demned Port Credit murderer, who was

should recover, he will not be well enough
to stand the ordeal of his trial for the mur-
der of Mrs Williams, set down, for the ea -
9 izes, which open at Brampton on Sept. 15.
This will have some bearing on the action
being taken on behalf of MacWherrel, for
whom a new trial - was asked. It is now
the general expectation, from what can be
learned from well informed authority, that
the application for a new trial will be aban-
doned and that McWherell's council will
confine his plea to one for a commutation
of the sentence to imprisonment for life,
whioh is thought will be granted.
Governor. Flower, of New York, addressed
an audience of farmers at Niverville, in

took first, second and third premiums, and,
as a result of this declared surperiority, the
farmers of this state had this y

W. COOPER & CO., CLINTON
One of the most horrible tradgedies in
the history of Lambton took place on
Tuesday on the farm of Wm. Hayward, in
Plympton Township, eight miles from
Forest. Threshing was in progress, and
shortly after starting the cylinder shaft
broke and caused a friction, which set fire
to the straw. In an instant the interior of
the barn was a mass of flames. Neil Me
Phedran, Stephen Searle and Wm. Greer
were at work, and their escape was cut off
by the flames, which filled the manhole to
the mow. McPhedran jumped through the
fire and escaped alive, having his hair,
whiskers and shirt burnt off him. Neither
Searle nor Greer were ever seen alive again.
In a short time the barn was a smouldering
ruins, and soon after the charred trunks of
the victims were taken out of the still
blazing rains. Each leaves a wife and
family, and both were highly respected.
