FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1895. .
The London Advertiser says:—"All
rumors to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, Hon. Mr Patterson is certainly
preparing to take up his abode in Win-
nipeg within the next six weeks."
Sir Donald Smith has never drawn
his sessional indemnity or mileage as a
member ' of Parliament. This shows
that o ne man, at least, is not after the
"loaves and fishes," but as Sir Donald
is a millionaire, the sessional indemni-
ty and mileage would not count for
much.
Speaking of the immense crops in
Manitoba,bils1 the necessity for saving
it, some of the papers recommended
the farmers to keep cutting on Sunday.
We have not noticed whether they did
so or not, but we hope for the sake of
their own reputation that they did
not. Nothing is ever gained by disre-
garding divine commands.
The Government at Ottawa is pre-
paring for a general election,, and it is
believed the extra session will be very
short. As the election must be brought
on in any event, very soon, it is quite
natural that the government should
prepare for it. We hope the people
are also preparing for it by some good,
s olid thinking. The corruption and
extravagance which prevails will con-
tinue so long as the people sanction it,
and when the people make up their
mind to be honest, then and only then
will they have honest legislation.
Mr Laurier is credited with a state-
ment made last Saturday at Grand Ri-
ver, Que., where he addressed the Lib-
erals of Gaspe County. In reply to a
question he said that his views as lead_
er of the party on the school question
were not represented by Mr Joseph
Martin, and that he would support the
Government's policy, if favorable to the
Catholic minority. He spoke thus as
a party leader, and not merely as the
member for Quebec East. If he is cor-
rectly reported he certainly does not
represent the views of his supporters.
The Liberals of Ontario are of the opin-
ion that the Government's school pol-
icy is a mistake, and cannot he carried
out.
Time to Retrace
The New York Post, in alluding to
the fact that Canada had copied the
American tariff when it was high, and
the American tariff had since been low-
ered, says:—
"It is high time for the government
of the Dominion to retrace its steps,
but it will not so easy as it has been in
our own case. The reason is that the
Dominion is so loaded with debt that
it must raise a large revenue, and it
will require great skill to accomplish
this through a reduction in the tariff.
Many of the duties imposed for the
purpose of protection have proved to
be revenue duties, and though the
country would benefit by their immed-
iate abolition, the treasury would suf-
fer. But the example set by this
country will again be controlling upon
Canada. The removal of restrictions
upon industry ,here will make it im-
practicable to retain them there. The
impulse given to our manufd,ctures by
freer trade will make it hopeless for
those of Canada to try and keep up the
race With the handicap of their present
• tariff. As Canada imitated us to her
hurt, in adopting the protective policy,
she will eventually imitate us to her
gain. in abandoning it."

',coding 'Varieties' of Winter
Wheat,
One hundred .aadtwenty-two varieties o
winter wheat have been tested at the On
tario Agricultural College within the past
six years. Some of these varieties have
produced yields of grain which were more
than double those of ether varieties grown
beside them on plots of the same area. Not
only has there been a great variation in the
comparative yields of grain produced by
the different varieties, but there has also
been a marked difference in strength of
straw, weight of grain per measured bushel,
value of grain for milking purposes, etc. of
the different varieties tested. The result
of these experiments are published annual-
ly in bulletin form and in the College re-
port, and are sent free to all members of
farmers' institutes in Ontario, by the De-
partment of lAgriculture, Toronto The
bulletin giving the results of the winter
wheat experiments conducted in the Ex-
perimental Department, the past year, is
now in Toronto for publioation.
In the fall of 1894, nine leading varieties
of winter wheat were selected from the
kinds, which have been grown from one to
five years at the Agricultural College, and
were distributed throughout Ontario for
co-operative experimental work. These
were divided into two sets, with fide varie-
ties in each, the Dawson's Golden Chaff
being used in both sets to form a basis by
which the results of all the varieties could
be compared with one another. Each per-
son wanting to conduct an experiment,
stated in his application which set he de-
sired, and the five varieties in the set se-
lected were sent to his address with full
instructions for conducting the experiment.
The grain was sown at the rate of bushels
per acre' upon plots 1-160 of an acre in
size.
Twn hundred and forty-seven winter
wheat experimenters have reported al-
ready this season. Of this number, one
hundred favored us with good reports of
successful experiments, eighty furnished
partial reports, and sixty-seven wrote of
failure or unreliable results. The names
of the successful experimenters and the de-
tailed results of the tests will be printed in
the annual report of the Experimental Un-
ion for 1895, which will be published as an
appendix to the Agricultural College re-
port.
The following table gives the compara-
tive yields of straw and grain per acre of
the winter wheat varieties tested during
the past season on one hundred Ontario
farms:
Grain per acre Grain per acre

As none except the one hundred good re-
ports of successfully conducted experiments
have been used in the preceding summary
of results, they should be of great value
and worthy of the thoughtful attention of
wheat growers in Ontario. Much credit is
due to the careful experimenters who sent
us the full reports, which have been used in
dummary.
CONCISE RESTLTS OF THESE CO-OPERATIVE
WINTER WHEAT EXPERIMENTS
1 Reports of successful experiments with
winter wheat have been received this sea-
son from thirty counties in Ontario, nM -
teen of which are east and eleven west of
the City of Guelph.
2 The Counties of Lambton; Middlesex,
Huron, Grey, Elgin, Simooe, and Bruce
fprnished fifty-one of the hundred good re-
ports received in 1395.
3 Of the two hundred and forty-seven ex-
perimenters who reported the results of
their tests, only eight speak of wishing to
discontinue the cooperative experimental
work, and ranch interest is manifested
throughout.
4 Dawson's Golden Chaff, Early Gene-
see Giant, Early Red Clawson, and Jones'
Winter Fife gave the highest yields of
grain among nine leading varieties of win-
ter wheat tested throughout Ontario for
two years in succession.
In average yield of winter wheat per
acre, Dawson's Golden Chaff stood high-
est among eleven varieties tested over On-
tariotin 1893, nine varieties in 1894, and
nine varieties in 1895, also among fifty-
three varieties grown at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College for four years in succes-
sion.
6 In the co-operative experiments for
1895, Dawson's Golden Chaff, Jones' Win-
ter Fife, and the Early Genesee Giant gave
the best yields on heavy soils; and Daw-
son's Golden Chaff, the Early Genesee
Giant, and the American Bronze on light
soils.
7 When the experiments fo:lowed peas,
grass, or bare -fallow, Dawson's Golden •
Chaff gave the largest average yield of
grain, and when they followed potatoes,
Early Genesee Gainb came first in this re-
spect.
8 Early Genesee Giant and Dawson's
Golden Chaff made the best appearance in
the spring of 1895, and Early Ripe looked
the poorest.
9 American Bronze, Early Genesee
Giant, and Dawson's Golden Chaff possess-
ed the stiffest straw in 1895.
10 Pride of Genesee and American
Bronze produced the greatest length of
straw, and the Surprise the shortest length.
I1 Early Ripe and Dawson's Golden
Chaff were the least, and Early Genesee
Giant and Early White Leader were the
most affected by rust.
12 Early Ripe and Early Red Clawson
were the first to mature, and the Pride of
Genesee and Early White Leader were the
last to mature.
13 Early Genesee Giant and Dawson's
Golden Chaff produced the plumpest grain,
and Early Ripe and the American Bronze,
the most shrunken grain.
14 Dawson's Golden Chaff was decided-
ly the most popular variety with the ex-
perimenters in each of the past three years;
and during the present season, it was chos-
en by over sixty per (tent of the f trmers
who sent in full reports, as being the best
among the varieties tested.
DISTRIBUTION OF SEED FOR TESTING PURPOSES
In the following table will be found two
sets of winter wheat varieties, which will
be sent free, by mail, in half -pound lots of
each variety, to fanners applying for them
who will carefully test the five kinds in the
set whioh they choose, and will report the
results after harvest next yea). The seed
will be sent out in the order id which the
applications are received as long as the
supply lasts.

bli.'oloscope Is one of the wonders of
7-ge. It is as marvelous to -day at
the telescope, the phonograph and the
kinetoscope combined would have been
a tivarter of a century ago.
It Is the invention of Woodville
L stj,'.am, a Mississippian by birth, who
tote long been known in scientific cir-
ch r as a man of the highest order of
atta'nments. He held the chair of phy-
and chemistry in the Universit>•
nn;yivar'la for five years. He
w..s professor of chemistry in the Unl-
versify of Missslssippi at Oxford for
five years, and has held various other
po:,itions in different parts of the coun-
try. ' He has always been an invests.
gator and experimentor, and many of
the most useful inventions in everyday
life originated with him.
But the eldolosuohe is his crowning
achievenfent. Its pogsibilites are be-
yond all comi,etation. In its present
stage of development it reproduces all
moving• objects and their every mo-
tion life size, and with absolutely life-
like accuracy and fidelity. No motion
of living objects\is too swift for its
lightning -lute powers of reproduction.
It really consists of two instruments
—the eldotograph, which is capable of
taking 120 pictures, perfectly, in a sec-
ond, or 7,200 a minute, and the eidolo,
scope, which projects them, life sized
upon a screen of canvas.
It will take a great horse race, with
every movement of horses, jockeys,
judges, and the crowds on the grand
stand and field, so that the whole race
is absolutely before the eyes of the
spectator as distinctly and vividly as
if he were on the ground.
It will give a prize fight, with every
movement and look of the fighters,
their attendants, and the crowd of
lookers-on as true as life, as if the
whole •were reflected in a vast mirror. .
Every feint and blow, every dodge and
clinch, every movement of the referee,
and every wave of the towels and fans
of the seconds are absolutely true to
life. Every gesture and glance of the
looker-on, and 'every puff of smoke
from his cigar is exactly reproduced.
So everybody can now attend a prize
.fight without any read brutality.
The eidoloscope will exactly repro-
duce an ocean scene, giving the mo-
tion of every wave from the time it
forms far out at sea till it breaks in
spray and foam upon the shore,' with
every movement of every vessel in
sight and of every person on the beach.
It will take two flying birds, or two
hundred from the time they come 1n
sight until they disappear, reproduc-
ing every motion of every feather in
their wings and on their bodies. This
can be thrown upon the screen so slow-
ly that the whole philosophy of flying
birds can be studied at leisure.
It will take a fly walking upon a
pane of glass, and project it upon the
screen,• magnified, if need be, a million
times, so that every movement of the
wonderful mechanism of its air -pump
legs and feet can be examined. •
Instances of its wonderful powers
and possibilities might be multiplied
to fill columns of 'space; but it may all
be briefly summed up by saying that
there is no object or motion on earth,
in air, or sea, that it Is not capable of
reproducing absolutely true to life.
Scientists of word -wide fame stand as
much amazed before it as children or
untutored bumpkins. It is worthy the
attention of every one who has an in-
torest In the world's advancement and
c'nlightenments, and in the infinite l"s-
s:l,iiities that lie within the reach of
human genius, aided by science.—C'hl-

Handsomely Redecorated.
The Stratford Beacon says:—The Odd -
fellows hall in this city which has, during
the past two months, been undergoing ex-
tensive improvemedts, is almost ready for
occupation. The brethren intend to have
a formal opening at a later date when
the citizens of Stratford will have an op-
portunity of seeing one of the most beauti-
fully decorated halls in the province. The
walls have been redecorated and adorned
with oil•paintings, illustrative of various
scenes and emblems, associated with the
tenents oft this great fraternity. IThe
painting reflects much credit upon the art-
ist, J. G. Crich of Seaforth. One cannot
enter the hall without feeling impressed
that the objects and aims of the order are
to lead man to a higher standard of life.—
Behind the chair of the Noble Grand, the
