Within the past ,even years, one hundred andd-thirty.three varieties of Winter t+heat have been very carefully tested in the Experimental Departmen •at the Agricultural College, Guelph. Besides a Agricultural the comparative yields of tt' and straw of the diffe- rent vai'ie tee, the wheats have been closely examined each year for their quality of grain, tine of maturity, strength of straw, freedom from rust, etc„ in order to determine which kinds will give the most satisfactory results, when grown under uniform conditions. After the yarious varieties have been carefully tested at the College for a few years, those which have Sven the best satisfaction are selected tor distri- bution throughout, Ontario. This sys- tem of co-operative experimental work enables the farmers to determine for themselves which of the leading varie- ties will give the best results upon their own particular farms. As a practical result from obtaining information in this way, hundreds of farmers are growing varieties in their regular far rn practice which were entirely unknown to thein a short time ago. For in- stance, the Dawson's Golden Chaff va- riety of winter wheat, which has re- cently given such high average yields of grain per acre, both at the College and throughout Ontario, was scarcely known except in one neighborhood -near-Gluelph, until it was sown in our Experimental Grounds in 1:41, and afterwards distributed for co-operative experimental work. This is now one of the most popular varieties of winter wheats in this Province. In the fall of 1895, nine leading varie- ties of winter wheat were distributed in this way- They were divided into sets, with five varieties in each. The Dawson's Golden 'Chaff was used in both sets, to form a basis by which the results of all the varieties could be compared with one another. Each person who wanted to conduct an ex- periment, stated in his application which set he desired, and Live varieties fn the set selected were sent to his ad- dress, and full instructions for conduct- ing the experiment. The grain was sown at the rate of one and one-third bushels per acre, upon plots exactly uniform in size and shape. The yields per acre have been calculated from the actual results obtained from the plots. Ninety reports of carefully conduct- ed experiments have been received this season up to time of writing. As these came from twenty-seven of the coun- ties in Ontario, the results should be of real practical value to the farmers of the Province. The following table gives the com- parative results of straw and grain per - acre of the winter wheat varieties test- ed during the past season on 90 Onta- rio farms : Straw Grain per acre (tone) bu. 601b 1.

In the co-oi»erative experiments for 1896, Dawsons Golden Ohaff, Jones' Winter Fife, and Pride of Genesee gave the best yields on heavy soils, and Jones' Winter Fife, Dawson's Golden Chaff, and Surprise, on light soils. 3. Pride of Genesee, Dawson's Gold- en Chaff, and Jones' Winter Fife made the best appearance in the spring of 1896. 4. Early Genesee Giant, Early Red Clawson, Dawson's Golden Chaff, and American Bronze possessed the stiffest straw in 1896. 5. Pride of Genesee, Jones' Winter Fife Bulgarian, and American Bronze produced the greatest length of straw. 6. Dawson's Golden Chaff,. Bulgar- ian, and Pride of Genesee were the least. and the Surprise, Early Genesee Giant, and American Bronze were the most affected by rust. 7. Early Red Clawson and Dawson's Golden Chaff were the first to mature, and the Pride of Genesee, Early Gene- see Giant, and Bulgarian were the last to niatutee 8. Dawson's Golden Chaff, Surprise and Early Red Clawson produced the plumpest grain, and Jones Winter rife and American Bronze the most shrunken:, grain. 0. Dawson's Golden Chaff was de- cidedly the most popular variety with the expert plit-Irs,:iIl,each.. of the past l=our yea arl'd in 1896, it was chosen by about ft per cent of the farmers who sent in full reports, as being the best among the varieties tested. 10. Six varieties of winter wheat have been tested over Ontario for three years in succession with the fol - living average results in bushels of grain .per acre: -Dawson's Golden Chaff, 31.8; Jones' Winter Fite, 29.2; Early Genesee Giant: 28.5: Early Red Clawson, 28.4; American Bronze, 27.9; Surprise, 27.8; and Bulgarian, 27.2. 11. Reports of successful experi- ments with winter wheat have been received thio season from twenty-seven counties in Ontario, sixteen of which are situated east, and eleven west of the city of Guelph. 12. The principal failures in the winter wheat experiments not includ- ed in this report, were caused by win- ter killing, grasshoppers, accidents, etc., and in some instances by the ex- perimenters not conducting the tests o'"' in exact accordance with the instruc- tions given. 13, Of the two hundred and eighty- fpur experimenters who have re orted the results of their tests for 1 , only three speak of wishing to discontinua the co-operative experimental work and much interest has been manifested throughout. 14. Varieties which have given good .average results in the experiments at tittle (')ellege fora few years, have also given good satistactlon throughout On- tario. '^f test the three kinds in the set which they choose, and will report the results after harvest next year.

HEART DISEASE. -Relief in thirty minutes in most alarming eases of heart trouble: A strong statement to make for Dr Agnew's Cure for the Heart, but it is borne out by the testimony of thousands who today pro- claim themaelves snatched from the grave by its wonderful curative powers. If the heart flutters, palpitates, tires easily, it in- dicates heart disease. Be warned in time. Use this sorest and quiokest care; it never fails. James Allen, of 8t. Stephen, N. B., writes: "I was troubled with very severe paino in the heart, pain in the side, and shortness of breath. 1 became completely exhausted with the least exertion. Doc- tors said my case was a hopeless one. I procured a bottle of Dr Agnew', Cure for the Heart. A few doses gave me peruian5 ent relief -six bottles entirely cured me, and today I am as well and strong as ever I was. I think it the hest medicine on earth for heart trouble." CATABBa.-It goes right to the Beat of the trouble, attacks the disease, removes the cause, cleanses out and heals the parts, quickly and permanently, Dr Agnew's Catarrhal Powder does all this, and it's no hearsay. The slaves who are freed from this loathsome malady, by this positive cure, are singing its praises day in and day out, "I am eighty years old. I have had catarrh for 50 years. Dr Agnew's Catar- rhal Powder cured me, and I look upon my cure as almost a miracle," says Geo. Lewis, of Shamokin, Pa. A simple cold in the head may be the first step to chronic ca- tarrh. Dr Agnew's Catarrhal Powder is harmless and easily applied. PILES CORED IN THREE TO SIx NIGHTS. - Dr Agnew's ointment will cure all oases of itching piles in from three to six nights. One application brings comfort. For blind and bleeding piles it is peerless. Aleo cures Tetter, Salt Rhnem, Eczema, Bar- ber's Itch, and all eruptions of the akin. 35 cents.

The annual "Harvest Festival Boheme" in connection with the Salvation Army, will be held throughout Canada, Newfound- land, Northwest Amerioa,and Bermuda on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Auguet 29, 30, 81, September 1. This is a capital noheme, and gives opportunity for all who appreciate the Army's work to as- sist in some way or other. The officers of the different corp, are inetruoted to visit friends andoolleotlirom them anything they are able to contribute, whether it be in Dash or otherwise Gifts of produce, groceries, fruit, grain, cattle, poultry, or anything of any description which is ealeable will be aooeptable. After the collection of these various articles a sale of the same is arran- ged for the Tuesday night, and the proceeds placed into one common fund to help the Army financially. The Commissioner, Miss Booth, hopes also by this soheme to replenish the storehouses of the various in stitutions, such as Rescue Homes for fallen women, Men's Shelters, Ctlildren'e Insti- tutione,eto.,so that it will be unnecessary to spend money on these articles during the fall and winter. Though money may be scarce, the land is laden with good things, and the Commissioner calls upon those who have enongb, and to spare, to remem- ber those who are not so favorably oiroairl- stanoed.

The present assessment returns give Hamilton a population of over 50,000. The trial of Dr Jameson cost the British Government $250,000. It came high, but justice had to be done. Not one complaint has ever been made by those using Ayer's Sareaparilia accord- ing to directions. Furthermore, we have yet to learn of a ease in which it has failed to afford benefit. So say hundreds of drug- gists all over the country. Has cured oth- ers, will ogre you. The egg season is opening early in England this year. Already 2,250 cases of Canadian eggs have arrived at Liv- erpool. At the same period last year only 75 cases had arrived. The time for tiling the counter peti- tion against Mr Martin in the Winni- peg election has passed. All that talk of the Conservative managers about being able to disqualify Mr Martin, it seems, was mere bluff. LIVE UP TO YOUR PRIVILEGES If we read of some new fabric made in some foreign country which gave protec- tion from cold, providing a healthful warmth in all sorts of weather, we would consider it wonderful and be envious of the people who could take advantage of it. But because Fibre Chamois is quite irex- pensive and easy to get perhaps some have not yet tested its merits and found out for themselves the splendid winter comfort a layer of it will impart to all outdoor gar- ments. Its weather proof qualities are genuine, founded on the fact that it is made entirely frcm Spruce Fibre, and is therefore a complete non-conductor of cold. This, as well as its light weight, makes it an ideal addition to every one's fall and winter clothing. HARVEST EXCURSIONS In order to give everyone an oppor- tunity to see the grand crops in the Western states and enable the intend- ing settler to secure a home, the Chica- go, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y has ar- ranged to run a series of harvest ex- cursions to South and North Dakota, and to other states in the West, North- west and Southwest on the following dates: -August 4th and 18th, Septem- ber 1, 15 and 29 and October 6 and 20, at the low rate of two dollars more than one fare for the round trip.

THE SUPERANNUATION SYSTEM To the Editor of the New Era: I notice that yon do not approve of the superannuation portion of the Civil Ser- vice Aot. If you will look up the provi- sions of the soheme it seems to me that yon would not ask to have it abolished. Civil servants, to whom the Act applies and who receive a salary of Ii600 or up- wards, shall pay into the Fund at the rate of 3} per oent per annum on sack salary In monthly instalments. When the sal- ary is lege than $600 three per oent shall be paid. No person whose age exoeeds forty-five years at the time of his appoint- ment shall be eligible to participate. I1 I am not in error the annuities payable are based upon the morbidity tables of the Institute of Actuaries of Great Britain and in s000rdance with business prinoiplee and regular insurance. The existence of the soheme referred to would appear to be in the public interest. The permanent oivil service officer is oompelled to provide against oontingenoies. Payment into the fund is not optional, and when he is no longer fit for service be has an equitable, though slight, provision for hia mainten- ance, for whioh he has paid, and in pro- portion to what he hal paid.'% Were snob a soheme not in existence these men would not voluntarily make such provision, and our legislators would be pestered from time to time by "influential electors," "wire pullers," eto., to obtain. compensa- tion for poor Brown, or Jones, or Smith who had "spent the beet years of his lite in the public service, and whom it would be cruel to oast adrift in the world like an old worn ont Dart horse." And in many oases humanitarian and political sym- pathies would suoonmb and the publio purse be depleted without the beneficiary haying, as now, contributed anything thereto. I am not justifying the superan- nuation of civil servants except in accor- dance with the Civil Service Superannua- ;tion Act. Departures from or violations of that Act must stand cr fall upon their merits just as violations of any other aot of Parliament must be judged. See Amended Aot 56 vio. ohap. 12.

I oannot speak too highly of it. Mus ALFRED Vice, Berlin, Ont. TELEPHONE EMR. How it Is Produoe4 and Ways in % bteh It nay be Avoided. Rave you the telephone ear? If you nee the telephone three or more tunes a day the probabilltlee are you have it, though it may not have occurred 10 you. But if you be poet 80 years of age you have already noticed a difference between the right and the left ear in aouteness of the sense of hearing. There is little doubt, now that your at- tention is called to it, that yon remens- her your left ear is a trifle keener in matters of bearing than is your right. Nob when you are listening over the wire, but when in an ordinary conversa- tion, with the nollses of the street about you as the bum of buslneae 1n ,Mos or shop, or the buss of talk in the parlor. you will bond forward a little and In- cline the left ear to the speech of your friend. You have the telephone ear, and haven't noticed 1t. What is the cause of it? The telephone. Arranged as it is, with the receiver at the left hand, you cannot well use it ex- cepting at the left ear. You press the blank muzzle of the receiver close to the ear, bhe speech of your correspondent agi- tates the diaphragm at his end of the line and the waves of air gently etrlke upon the dram of your ear, and what one of the auriete of Chicago calls mas- sage takes place. Your ear is subjected of the same kneading process that is so beneflofal when wisely applied to the flesh or muscles of any other part of the body. And the effect of it Is an ire areas, in the sense of hearing iu that ear. At the telephone exobange the girls are instructed to change the receiver from one ear to the other three or four times a day. If one ear were used exoifuivety by the operator, in time there wquld be so distinct a difference in the acuteness of the bearing between the left and`aight ,Ides that the operator would be )rjraohi- oally inoapaotteted for a change. There would be an abnormal developmentat one side at the expense of the other. - "I do not think the eleotrical effect is felt," said Dr. Edward T. Dlokerso»l whose specialty is diseases of the ear. "It is little if anything more than a gentle massage of the membrane of the ear. And In all capes where the affeotion is catarrhal in its character and had affected what Is called the Inberior ear, the use of the telephone will produce a beneficial effect. I never knew a person to be injuriously affected by the use of that instrument, and certainly have known numerous oases where it had a good effect " In Germany the telephones are ar- ranged with double reoeiver, and each ear of the operator in the station, is pro- vided with one. The sound is delivered equally in each oar. In email oases there is no varying moult, Both ears beoome equally acute. If the general patron of the telephone in America wore to rase such a contrivance there would be no phenomenon ,stn the "telephone ear."- Chlrwgo 'i .-'- ,ild. PROVIDENT. [We think our correspondent is in error in Baying that "were such a scheme not in exis- tence men would not voluntarily make such provision, oto.." for we believe if Civil Service employees had no Superannuation Fund to fall back upon, they would make provision precise- ly in the same way as other people do. There is no Superannuation System connected with the Ontario Government service. And it seems to us that the existence of the system under the Dominion Government, almost necessarily leads to its abuse Take the case of F,A. Mere- dith as an examples; he has paid Into the Super- annuation Fund $062.22; his retiring allowance is $2,620 a year, and he has dra wn from the treasury since his superannuation the sum of $42,000. Another case is that of Hon. J. Pope, who paid $98.57 into the fund, gets an annual allowance of $1260, and has drawn from the treasury $14120. F. P. Rubidge paid Into the fund $96, got retiring allowance of 1512, and has drawn !30,319 out of the public chest. Similar instances to these can be given b1' the score perhaps not quite so glaring. But it is not alone beieauso the system is abused that we oppose it, but because we do not believe in the system at all. If the affair was honestly administered there might be some justification for it, but even then it is questionable. On the lst of Jan., 1895, there were 539 superannuated officers in lanadn; their contribut'one to the Superannuation Fund amounted to about $65,000 per year, but they were drawing from the treasury $265,000, a sum which seems to be out of all proportion to their contributions. For the firm few years after the adoption of the act tho contributions of the civil servants made up for more than the amount given to those who were superannuated.

SUN HATCHED. -A new method of bring- ing forth chickens ban just come to light on the premises of John Sinclair, where a hen in the open field supplied herself with a suf- ficient quantity of eggs for a good setting, and then took to her tedious labor of three weeks of sitting, but in the course of a week through the excessive heat, she abandoned her tank and left her nest. Mr Sinolair's family being aware of it left the eggs in the nest, thinking them useless, but to their surprise,after an absence of two days, on go- ing to the nest,they found a batcb of health chickens, looking around for a mother. It mast be truly said that we are living in a fast age, and the poor hen will soon bo re- lieved from her hard task of three weeks' labor.

RESULT Oi USING AYER'S PILLS "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty years have kept me in good health, never having had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually -as a result of con- etipation - from dyspepsia, headaches, neuralgia, or boils andother eruptive disease,. "When I beoame convinced that nine -tenths of my troubles wore caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac- tory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, aIso began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had no. ticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, i3 taken in season, avert all danger of sickness." -H.
