QROI' YROsI'EOT8 rx ONTARIO WEST.—
Live stook dealers who traverse nearly all
sections of northern apd western -Ontario,
are able to give pretty reliable acoeunts of
the ooliditton ofthe growing crops. From
aeyeral of these it was learned this week
that between London and Guelph the fall
wheat is _considerably damaged. From
there to Stratford there is a gradual im-
provement. In the county of Perth it is
in a fair condition, Drovers in Huron re.
port .that,", along the lake share' it looks
much better than usual, but to the east it
is not up to the average, Oxford is report -
ea -hardly hardly up to the average ; in some
parts it is good, while in others it, is badly
winter -killed, being hardly worth growing,
Middlesex is fair and an average crania ex-
pected, Reports from Bruce aro encour-
aging; yery little has been winter -killed ;
at present it looks very well, and more
than an average crop is expected. In On-

while spring crops are coming up splendid,

THEBMACH KNOT.--Ownersof orchards
should pay attention to the black knot on

may be saved. Any owner or occupant
who allows any black knot to remain on
any plum or cherry tree shall be liable•to
a fine of not less than $5 or more than $0.
11iAIt tETa.--There is little or nothing
doing in markets, farmers 'being- too busy
to come to town,so that quotations are
merely nominal. Wool has not com-
menced to come in yet, although quite a
number'have been shearing their sheep,
