Q.flinton haw ra 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." .

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 (tons) (bush.80We) 1 Dawson's Golden Chaff ..1.39.. 32.9 2 Early Genesee Giant....1.44 . 30,8 3 Early Red Clawson....... 1.23 28.9 4 Jones' Winter Fife.. 133 28.8 5 Pride of Genesee.. 1 33 .28,8 6 American Bronze.., 134 28.6 7 Surprise 1.33 28,1 8 Early Ripe ...............1.36 27.8 9 Early White Leader....1,2927,4 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. Dawson BET Chaff Dawson' s Golden Chaff Early Red Ciaweon Early Geneses Giant Jones' Winter Fith Pride of Genesee Surprise Bronze Jones' Square Head Each person wishing one of these sets should write to the Experimentalist, Agri- cultural College, Guelph, mentioning which set he desires; and the grain, with instruc- tions for testing, and blank form on Which to report, will be furnished free of coat to hie address, until the supply of grain for distributing becomes exhausted.

'0F'tilt EIDOLO OPE. , Unlimited 'tango of Usefulness lo .1'rofe13- -or Iarildom'a InventiotJ. 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- ca o Inter -Ocean.

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 presiding officer of the lodge, is a painting illustrating the Degree of Brotherly Love. Directly opposite the seat of the presid- ing officer and at the back of the Vice Grand is an illustration belonging to the Rebecca Degree. The members of the Canton, or the De- gree of Chivalry, are reminded of their duty by a painting which represents one of number defending a helpless woman.— Another scene is the famous one of Jona- than and David at -the stone Ezel, where Jonathan by shooting an arrow behind the lad, sent to pick up the others, warned his friend to "make speed, baste, stay not." Some of the illustrations are almost life- size. NEWS NOTES Mr. Wm. George, of London, fell dead on the street.

The first shipment of new Manitoba wheat was made last Friday from Gretna to Keewatin, and was graded No 1 hard -- It yielded 85 bushels to the acre. Mr William Douglas, one of the most successful farmers in the county of Brant died on Monday, aged 78. He was well known all over the province as a breeder and importer of Shorthorns. The case of Christian Erb, charged with putting ground glass in the family soup, occupied the attention of the police court eoinoe Thursday, and resulted Monday in dismissal of the ease, at Stratford. Ex -Mayor Fleming, of Toronto, in an in- terview in Montreal said he would be a candidate for the Mayorality next year, and contemplated running in East Toron- to in the Liberal interest at,the next Do- minion election. The Canadian Banker's Association of Winnipeg his received the remainder of the crop estimates. The' average crop of wheat is 27.09 pinhole per acre. The total estimated yield in Manitoba is as follows: —Wheat, 30,890,076 bushels; barley 5,758- 224 bushels; oats, 23,988,102 bushels; total 60,636,402 bushels. The report from the Canadian Pacific railway in Manitoba and the North-west shows the crop is now safe from all dangers. TEACHER WANTED Male preferred for the senior department of 8.A.
