Chemical analyses have have shown that barley of high quality is uniformly low in the propor- tion it contains of albuminoids or nit- rogenous products; and has it has been shown that the six -rowed barleys Si grown in Ontario have a low proportion ( of nitrogen, and hence are (higher in quality than the same ohms of barleys grown in the United States or Russia, and as it is altogether probable that this condition of- the grain is brought ki about by climatic influences, there are good grounds for hope that two -rowed barleys grown under the same favorable r conditions will possess that low pro- portion of nitrogen whish will eventus ally prove an important factor in deter- - mining their value.

In the ar course of a special investigation into the composition of American, barley made by the oheinist of the -Depart- ment of Agriculture in Washington in 1876, the average proportion of nit- rogenous products obtained from 1.2 analyses of Canadian barley from Ontario was 9.83, while the average of those grown in different parts of the ti ' United States, leaving out California, r. was 11.50, California standing at 10.50 A number of samples, both of two - rowed and six -rowed barley, grown in different part of Canada, are now being analysed by the Chemist of the Ex- perimental Farm, Mr F. T. Shutt, with the object of gaining further informa- tion on this subject. Canadian six -rowed barley is pre- ferred by brewers in the United States because having a lower proportion of albuminoids it is better than that grown in their own country; and there is reason to hope that the same rela- tively high character may be establish- ed for Canadian two -rowed barley. If this be done there is no reason why the brewera;ofCanada and thelUnitedStatea should not also prefer the two -rowed barley, which finda such favor in Great comparative brewing teat in Canada. Rain. As soon as these tests are completed and As soon as the Canadian Govern. the information which is sought avail- able, the results will be promptly given to the public. It is not to be exPected that two -rowed barley of prime quality can be gro wn in all parts of Canada ; this cannot be done in England or Scot- land, where some districts produce much finer samples than others. But in those localities less favourable for producing fire malting barley the two- rotved varieties will be profitable to. grow for feed, as the experience gained seems to show that they are more pro- lific than the six -rowed sorts. In pre- paring barley for market it shonld be thoroughly cleaned, and all the light grain separated. The separating of 10 or 15 per cent. of the poorer grain adds much to the value of the better barley remaining, and the screenings can be used with profit at home as food for stook.

A proportion of the reports are less favourable than some of those which have been given, but in moat instances these may be attributed to a very wet season, lack of drainage, or want of Dare in the preparation. of the land. Many think that the straw is a little weak, but a very wet season does not afford a good opportunity for correct judgment on this point. There is no doubt that two -rowed barley takes a longer time to mature than the six - rowed, and that it should be sown CanadianPlants for Canadian People. We have received a copy of Webster Bros.' beautifully illustrated book of Canadian plants for Canadian people. They offer not only the latest novelties, but all that is desirable in plants for the garden or greenhouse, roses of all descriptions,hardy shrubs and climbers; in fact everything to meet the wants of a Canadian flower -loving people. Messrs Webster have been established in Ham- ilton for a number ofY ears, and their establishment, whish to the largest of the kind in the Dominion, is specially equipped for the production of plants for distribution over the wide expanse of our country. They have a well- earned reputation for careful packing and safe delivery even to the most remote points in the Dominion.

It has been stated that the two -rowed barley grown in this country deterior- ates so rapidly as to become deficient in vitality. To teat the validity of this statement the germinating power of 685 samples of last year's growth in Ontario has been determined, and the average is 94 j per cent.; 29 samples from Quebec averaged 92 per cent.; 17 from New Brunswick 87,j per cent.; 7 from Prince Edward Island 96* per cent.; 27 from Manitoba 88 per cent.; and 13 from the North. West Territories 88f per cent., making a total of 778 samples of the Prize Prolific barley sent by far- mers who had obtained the seed from the Government importation. These figures require no comment, and the objection referred to falls to the ground. MARKETS. With regard to a market, there seems no doubt that Great Britain can take all the surplus that Canada will want to export, and the price paid for it will depend on the quality. of the article. It is the opinion of the largest dealers that Canadian barley,dnring the'pas t season has been at least two pounds lighter than the average of past years. If this be so. it is reasonable to suppose that the same influences have affected the two -rowed in similar degree. An aver- age of two pounds in weight added to such two -rowed barley as was grown the past season, would bring a very large proportion of it up to a standard of quality which would command re- munerative prices in the British mar. kets. Judging from the valuations of the samples sent to England last year, there is every reason to hope for profit- able returns from this trade. The com- ments of the judges, at the recent Brewers Exhibition in London,England who examined the samples of Canadian grown two -rowed barley shown there, give evidence that favourable opinions have been formed regarding Canadian barley, even where the weight has not exceeded 52 pound.) per bushel. Many enquiries have been made of late for consignments of Canadian two -rowed barley for theEnglish market,but no suf. rant quantity has been available this season for the purpose. 50 quarters or 400 English bushels of the two -rowed of last season's growth, weighing about 52 pounds per bushel, were procured and this barley has been forwarded to Eng- land to have its market value deter- mined, also its quality for malting 'end brewing. Another lot of 320 bushels of similar quality has been secured for a ment has decided to place the sum referred to in the estimates negotations were begun for the purchase of the barley and to save time the arrange- ments were made by cable, pending the receipt of samples which were forward- ed by mail. After careful enquiry, 10,000 bushels of barley was purchased from James Carter & Co., of London, England, of the variety known as Prize Prolific, this being selected main- ly for the reason that the experiments already made with this barley in Can- ada had given good results. It was brought out in 5,000 bags of 112 lbs. each, and on arrival carefully inspected and as it was not found as clean as was expected the bags were all opened and the barley passed twice through the cleaning apparatus of the Montreal Warehouse Company by which means the sample was glade uniform and good and although not absolutely clean, was, from a commercial standpoint, very clean. Not knowing how large the sesekrnand might be it was first offered ro Canaian farmers, one bag only to each individual, at $4 per bag, freight being paid to the nearest railway station tothe ,astTehaser. As soon as the orders tit were in, this limit was withdrawn, but the season then was ton far advanced • in the principal barley districts for the farmers to avail themselves of the offer of a further supply. Indeed in many instances, although every effort -.1 was made to secure prompt despatch, the 'barley purchased did not reach those who ordered it until a week or two after most of their grain was sown, acid such late sowing lessens the yield sometimes veru matertlally. About 3,200 bags were sold to 2,600 purchasers. of these, 1,052. have sant in reports of the crop produced and samples of the grain as follows:— Table showing results of tests of two - rowed barley (Prize Prolific), imported Soule E'1gui oso to Ponder. ,At last the trade and nevigutivu as), turgla for 1890,*elong heldtlackhave been iened; by the Dominion ()oyern- ma4t, °Tbototal exports amounted to 160 147 Z49, or only $T,0(10,Q110 more than 1111874, and 1,000,O00 than 1882, and $26,000,0Q0 less than our imports during the same year, Dist year we sent to Great Britain 1648,- 363,694, and to the United States, $4,0- 622,816. , 40•622816.., Qntario'n enoitnoue ittterest to the United States tradeis shown by the fact that of this total export of $40,000,000 to the United States, Ontario sent over $20,000,000.

The tables show that our aggregate trade with Great Britain in 1890 was $91,743,935, while with the United States it was $92.814,783. DECREASE OF TRADE. Our aggregate trade with Great Britain decreased $17,900,000 since 1873. Our aegregate trade with Nee - foundland, which was $4,609000 in 1873, fell to $1,655,000 in 18f,0; ens the trade with the West Indies fell from $6,086,000 to $580,900. Our ag- gregate trade with the world, which amounted to $217,804,516 in 1874 fell last year to$209,514,733. In 1890 e ay we imported from GreaBritain $43,- 390,241, and from the United States $52,201,873, and notwithstanding the excess of imports from the United States the duty on them amounted to $8,126,625, while the duty collected on English goods amounted to $9,- 576,965, a decided discrimination against England.

It will be noticed that our farm exports, which at one time reached $25,000.- 000„pave fallen to $17,000,000. On- tario's exports to all countries last year, $28,314,586, was the lowest with two exceptions. since 1880 and lower by over $1,000,000 than in 1873. They were lower by the enormous sum of over $12,000,000 than 1882, When they stood at $40,765,000. ` THE MYSTERIOUS MEDICINE MEN."

Four of the largest locomotives ever built in the world are nearing completion in the Baldwin locomo- tive works in Philadelphia. They are being built for the Grand Trunk and will be used in the St Clair tun- nel,,which runs under the bed of the St. Clair riyer between Port Huron and Sarnia. The engines are intend- ed to run, in an iron tube tunnel twenty feet in diameter and are pec- uliarly constructed. There are five. pairs of 50 inch driving wheels on each. The water tanks are on each side of the boilers and the cab is in the t.etrtre of the boiler, extending out over the tiro tanks. rine loco. motive is tuns constructed to allow .it to allow it to run bacitward or for- ward with equal facility. The cyl- inders are 22128 inches, and the boiler 74 inches in diameter with a capacity to carry 160 pounds of steam pressure.. An idea of the enormous size of the monster engines may be formed from their weight. Each one with the tanks filled and a starting supply of coal on board weighs 200,000 pounds, the average weight in running order being 180,000 pounds. The rails on which they will run will weigh 1001bs per yard. The length of the tunnel track which they are made to run over is only four miles. They are destined to pull trains up the steep approaches to the funnel. It requires about three ordinary locomotives to do this service for each train. A sat- isfactory trial of one of the engines has been made. The other three will be finished in a few days. 1 desire to refer once more to the im- portance of early seeding and of a thorough preparation of the soil before sowing. The figures given in the early pages of this Bulletin on the results of the tests of the past season show in the increase of crop the advantage of sowing barley after toots, but where this is not practicable a good mellow piece of ground should be selected, one that has been well worked and is in fair condition as to fertility. This crop will not give good returns whon sown on cold, wet ground, or on land that has been too much impoverished by frequent crop- ping and scanty manuring. The roots of the young barley plant make rapid growth under favourable conditions,but they de not strike so deeply in search of food as those of some other cereale ; hence, the nutritive elements they need should be presented to them in the soil in such a well digested condition as to admit of its being readily taken up by the growing rootlets.
