One hundred and eighty-nine plow have
been devoted to Winter wheat experiments
this sewoa st the Ontario AgreeBer•1 Coi-
lsge Owing to the late harvest *ad the
e:oeedingly wet season no Winter wheat
balletic can be issued this year in time to
be of much practical service before the
period of Winter wheat seodieg 11 reached.
la an experiment with ninety-oae varie-
ties of Winter wheat, grown ander similar
conditions in 1897, it is found that the
eeven varieties whioh stand highest in yield
el grain per sore are the same ween varie-
ties which have given the largest yield o
gram per sore among eighty-six varieties
grown on the experimental plots for four
yeas in suooeestoo. The following list
rives the names of thswi seven varieties
with the average yield per acre for tour
years, and also with the average yield per
sore for this season :

Although the comparative order of the
rolls
ot thew seven varieties are not the
same in 1897 as in the average of four
years, still the foot that they gave the
tartest yields in bath oases among e11 the
varieties tested is • very important feature
in the experiment
Land upou whioh peas were used as a
green manure fie 1896 produced a consider-
ably lager yield of Winter wheat per acre
than similar land upon which rape or buck-
wheat bad Leen used as • green manure, or
which bad been worked as • bare Summer
fallow. This experiment was conducted in
duplicate, but for one year only. It is be-
ing repeated this season in • similar way.
Large plump seed sown in the autumn of
1896 produced 3 2 3 brutish per sore more
than tee email -0116-0 seal ; 6 46 boatels
per acre mcre than shrunken seed ; and
42 2 3 bathe!' aegnre more
which bad been token with the machine in
threshing. The dame cumber of Winter
wheat grains were used in the d llerent eel'
notions and the experiment was conducted
in duplicate.
In the average of four yearn' experiments
ie cutting two varieties of grain at five dif•
fereot stages of ripening, the result show
that the grain cut before maturity does not
give as large a yield as that which was sl -
hawed to become folly ripened. The de-
tails of this eXperiu.wt can be more fully
studied when they aro printed to the an-
unat report of the College for 1897.
The average result% of an experiment OW
drtoted for bye years in succession, in sow.
ing Winter wheat at different dates in the
Autumn ; show that the ..dings of Sep-
tember 2nd and 3rd gave j of a bushel per
acre more than the.sedings ot September

usual y advisable to sow Winter wheat in
the',moony of Guelph Tater that September

An experiment in treating wed wheat for
the prevention of smut bas Leen conduoted
for two years with quite satisfactory re•
sults. Infected seed wheat not crested
for amut produced a crop containing an
average ot 2146 smut belle per bushel of
grain ; while tbat treated with Potassium
dlphide produced an average of 109 balls of
smut : and that treated with hot water 9
halls of smut per bashed of grain. The hat
water treatment whioh is one of the ohe•p•
est and most effectual remedies consist, in
immersing seed wheat for fifteen minutes ►o
het water at • temperature of 132 degrees
F. The water should not go below 130 and
not above 136 degrees. Not only is bot
water treatment very effeotusl ie killing the
snot pores, lout it frequently improves the
productive power of the Beed, as shown by
the increased yield of grain per sore. Every
farmer in' smut interned distriote should
treat soffioient seed to insure the harvest

Though John Doyle bas intimated at
ma time or another that no would stomps
the ottioe of sheriff if it were teudored bim,
he admito now that ll hes some unpleasant
duties attached which he did not know of
when he was wiling to Oke the job. One
of these in the wizure and mile of • bird
store.
He officiated at • sale of that sort on
Smithfield street, Pitt.burg. When he got
to the stars he found • orowd of people is
front of it, admiring an unhappy lot of par-
rot.. He reasoned that each peso want-
ed • parrot, so he decided to diipoes of
them first. He mounted the counter and
invited bids for the first °holoe of the'flook
TThere was a muman there who seamed
gjetermined to buy the bird no matter what
the omit. She started the bidding at $2 and
it went up quickly to $4. From that on
the woman had ail the bidding to herself
though she did not know it.
" Four dollars I'm hid," sang Doyle. :4,

" Twenty five," Dame a voice from the

"Seventy-five," 'bombed the unknown
voice.
"Five dollars!" shouted the woman as
she glared In the direotioe of the other
bidder.

" I wan determined to buy that bird if it

the am dollar bird.
We will next offer this parrot and this

The bidding was spirited. It finely nar-
rowed down to • 'Muth -aide dootor, a wo-

wanted to send it blob faster than at a

" Pty." said the doctor'' opponent.
" Nine dollars," shouted the doctor, not
to le outdone by the other fellow in hker-

" Nine twenty five ! nice tweoty•6ve.

shook his head that he wouldn't) " Are

But no gentleman came forward to get
hie bird. The auctioneer requ.i.ted bim in
vain to oome up and get it. Several per-
sons in the oorner declared that tt was soma
one back of them who was bidding. The
auotioneer grew sooty.
" See here," he said to the unknown, " I
want you to oome up here and pay for that

Then the woman who bought the first
parrot was angry. The doctor laughed.
The auctioneer swore. The sats of parrots
was stopped and the remaining ones tit -
moved to the rear of the store where they
had a room to themselves.
The sale of other birds, dogs rabbit. and
