THE FINAL OROP REPORT,
CONSIDERABLY ENLARGED AREA OF
NEW FALL WHEAT.
Favorable Conditions --Peas Badly Affected
by hummer Droutl-Corn Excellent In
the Wert -Potato t:trop Light -Fruit
Trees In Healthy Condition -Yield or
Crops.
The Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture has issued the final crop report
for 1898. It is as followe
FALL WHEAT.
The favorable accounts given in the
returns given in August have been
verified by the reports just to hand:
Poor yields were exceptional, and large
yields were common. The plumpness
of the grain is freque'htly alluded to,
in many cases the weight going over
the standard, and as high sometimes
as 63 or 64 pounds to the bushel. Here
and there only did correspondents com-
plain of the rust, midge or other in-
jury to the crop. The yield is 24 bush-
el per acre, giving the large total yield
of 25,158,713 bushels.
THE NEW FALL WHEAT.
An enlarged area is reported for the
growing of fall wheat by most of our
correspondents, the increase being
placed at from 10 per cent. up, a few
claiming to have actually doubled
their acreage. Sowing ranged from the
last week of August to the first week of
October, but the bulk of the work was
done between September 10th and 2Oth.
Conditions were favorable to seeding,
and as the correspondents wrote, most
of the fields looked very promising, al-
though in some cases the crop was so
heavy in the top that cattle and sheep
were turned to pasture upon it. The
Hessian fly is reported in several of
the western countries, and as a result
some of the fields were -more or less
yellow in appearance. The general
outlook, however, may be described
as
encouraging, so far as the new crop
of fall wheat is concerned. Dawson's
Golden Chaff, Clawson, Genesee Giant,
Manchester, Democrat, and Surprise
are the favorites. the first two named
having a large lead, while forty other
sorts also are named as being in
favor.
SPRING WHEAT.
The acreage of spring wheat is only
s. little over one-third of that of fall
wheat. The crop has been over an
average in yield and the quality is also
good. A large amount of goose wheat
has been grown. The yield is a little
larger than our August estimate, be-
ing 17.7 bushels per acre.
BARLEY.
Only the low prices prevailing pre-
vented barley from being one of the
most satisfactory yields of the season.
The yield per acre generally has been
large, and a better sample of grain as
to weight and color bas seldom been
raised. The yield is 28.9 bushels per
acre, somewhat larger than was es-
timated before the crop was harvest-
ed.
OATS.
This crop appears to be a fair one,
In many cases going over the yield per
measured bushel, although complaints
are made in various sections as to the
grain being rather light in weight, on
account of the quick ripening. A.few
correspondents complained of rust,
and graeshoppers did considerable in-
jury in some of the Lake Erie counties.
The crop has turned out two bushels
per acre better than was estimated be-
fore the harvest, bringing the yield
up to theextraordinary total of .86,-
858,293 bushels.
RYE.
What little rye was grown for grain
turned out well. In fact, the too rank
growth of the crop appears to have
been the chief cause for complaint.
PEAS.
This appears to have been the most
unfortunate of the grain crops. The
drouth of the early part of the sum-
mer, and a frost about the 10th of July,
told upon the growth, and the "bug "
made its appearance in nearly every
section of. the Province. Some of those
reporting are inclined to take a dis-
couraging view of the outlook for pea -
growing owing to this pest. A few
correspondents speak of a good crop,
but many report the opposite. The Drop
continued to drop in yield, so that the
final sentiment gives 13,521,263 bush-
els, somewhat under the previous year,
and 15.6 bushels per acre, as compared
with 19.6 bushels per aore, the average
for the period.
CORN.
In the more western counties of the
Lake Erie group the crop was an ex-
cellent one, but from the remainder of
the Province variable reports come,
some describing the crop ns being a
goo.) one, while neighboring cor•res-
poneent s report the yield and general
con til ion as poor. 1)routh and an at-
tack of frost in July wrought consid-
erable injury. The crop, however,
turned out better than was expected
earlier in the season.
TOBACCO.
This crop has turned out well. The
season for setting out plants was
rather dry, but the general growth
was good, and a large quantity of leaf
was obtained. A little late planted
was caught by frost, hut the bulk os.
the crop escaped. Correspondents
speak favorably of the curing. The
"worm" was the worst enemy of the
crop.
BEANS.
Correspondents are far from unani-
mous regarding this crop. However.
it appears to have turned out best in
the Lake Erie counties, where the bulk
of the crop is grown. Frost and drouth
were the chief drawbacks.'
BUCKWHEAT.
The crop was badly affected by
drouth at the time of blossoming, end
frost also did considerable injury. 'rho
consequence is that the crop is a come
partitively poor one, alt hough is;onie cor-
respondents report 't good yield.
• POTATOES.
Thefrintn crop is light 1brougeept
the Province, owing 'to the effects of
Ibe late frosts and the protracted
drout h. Early pried (WS suffered moil:
severely, being •n complete failure in
many instances. The quality of the
crop secured [s nlmost uniformly good,
and but fow cases of rot are reported;
neither do the ravages of the potato
bug appear to have been so destructive
as formerly. The yield was nearly alt
out of the ground as correspondents
wrote, except in a few localities where
delay has been occasioned by the wet
weather.
TURNIPS.
i There has been a fair average yield
of turnips, the Drop thriving butter as
a rule in the western rather than
the eastern districts. Many corres-
pondents note the ravages of the green
aphis, which seems to be especially
destructive to the Swede turnip,
(though the drouth was the principal
drawbaelo. the recent wet weather
has caused rot in some neighborhoode.
The crop has been secured in a fow
plaoea.
MAI•IGEL WURZELS.
This has probably been the most sue-
cessfui of any of the root crops during
the past decidedly unfavorable season,
yielding well in most parts of the
Province. Several correspondents
point out that mangels have stood the
continued drouth better than tur-
nips, though the size of course - is
smaller and the plant more rooty than
would have been the ease with a more
even distribution of moisture. Very
little of the orop remains to be taken
up.
CARROTS.
Where grown oarrots have as 11
rule done well, especially in the west,
though affected like root crops by
the dry weather. The yield has been
got under cover in good condition in
nearly all localities.
FRUIT AND FRUIT TREES.
1 t aic trees and vines are in a gen-
erally healthy and thriving condition,
the principal causes of injury noted be-
ing storms blight, and in the eases of
plums and cherries, black -knots. The
San Jove scale was also mentioned as
doing some damage in Kent. There
were many causes which adversely af-
fected the fruit crop. The drouth and
frost inflicted considerable injury dur-
ing the earlier stages of its develop-
ment, and much loss has also been caus-
ed by insect pests. The apple orop
particular suffered much from worms,
much of the fruit being affected in un-
sprayed orchards. The tent cater-
pillar also did injury. Several
correspondents note th ' fact th it where
spraying was properly attended tt
these pests were kept in check and good
crops of fruit secured. Notwithstand-
ing all disadvantages thareturns from
all over the Province, with the excep-
tion of a few northerly countries,.
show that the supply of fruit, more
especially of apples, was considerably
more than sufficient for home con-
sumption very large shipments hav-
ing been made to England and the
United Slates from the western fruit
growing section. Pears, peaches, plums
and the smiler fruits were also ship-
ped from many localities. There SCRs
great variation as to quality, much of
the yield being spoken of as inferior.

OPENING AFRICA.
The Rapid Development of the Black
Continent.
When the ,British have pushed on
from Fashoda to Albert Nyanza, as
they are now doing and will completely
do in a few weeks, there will be open
a continuous line of communication
from Alexandria to CR IX) Town, length-
wise of the African Continent.
Open a strictly modern map of Africa
and compare it with a map in the
school geographies of forty years ago.
Nearly half of the continent was then
a black space with "Unknown Regions"
printed across it. Then see what this
, generation has done.
One may go by steamer and rail from
Alexandria to Omdurman; thence by
' steamer to Alberta Nyanza ; by road
to Lake Tanganyika ; by steamer down
(het Lake ; by road to Lake Nyassa ; by
steamer down that lake and the Upper
Shire River; by road around Murchi-
son Falls to the Lower Shire River ;
by streamer the Lower Shire and up the
Zambesi to Sena ; by road to Fort Sa-
lisbury; Day post-coaeh to tBuluwayo;
and by railroad to Cape Town.
The distance is about six thousand
two hundred and fifty miles, and it can
he traversed in eighly-five days. Thus
the dream of a rnilroad from the Cape
to the Delta makes progress toward
realization.
THE LAUGH ON THE KAISER.
Here is another good story they are
telling in Europe about the German
Emperor: -The Kai cr at a recent re-
view in Berlin, reprimanded old Gen-
eral von Meersoheidt for losing his
presence of mind at a critical mom-
ent. "If Your Majesty thinks that I
am getting too old, i beg of you to
allow me' to irevign." "No, no,' re-
plied the Kaiser, "you are loo young
to reign. Indeed, if your blood didn't
course through your veins quite so
fast, you would be a more useful army
I
leader." On the evening o1 that day
the Kaiser and the General met at a
court ball, The. General was talking
to FO :1,: ynun ; 1 tdies. "Ah, Meerso.he-
idt," etie.d William. "that is right, get
' ready to marry. Trice., a young wife,
then t hat-exeiteable temperament of
yours will soon vanish." The General
hewed low as he retorted, "I beg to
be excused. Your Majesty! A young
Emperor and a young wife would be
more than I could possibly stand,"
THE WITNESS' OPINION,
Al. a police court in one of the towns
in the north of Scotland a witness
allowed signs of levity while being ex-
amined and was promptly cautioned by
the presiding magistrate to address the
court in a becoming manner, else he
would be committed for contempt.

Trouble
Stomach trouble is the common
name1� applied to a derangement of
the system which is keenly felt but
vaguely understood. It may mean
inability to retain food or to digest
it. It may mean nausea, pain after
eating, fullness, inordinate craving
for food, or entire lack of appetite.
Whatever it means, there's trouble,
.and it's with the stomach. If you
have stomach trouble, you will be
interested in this letter from a
man who had it and was cured by
Ager's
Sarsaparilla
"For nine years I Buffered from stomach
trouble. I tried the aid of the best doctors
of Philadelphia and Pittaburg, and (vent
large sums of money, all in vain. One days
while waiting a train In Bellaire, 0., i
picked up 6 paper with a notice of Ayei''s
Sarsaparilla. I' got one bottle to try it. It
did me so mach good that I porehased live
more bottles. I took four of them and '
ginned in flesh, my appetite improved, and
Hour I can eat anything. My stomach it all
right, thanks to the use of Ayer'( Wasps,rills. t--CA!Nix M.B7<]1Vsllii, Uniontown, Pti,

Does your husband ever go to church
Mrs. Badger ? Oh. yes, he goes quite
regularly in the tinter time. Why
does he go in the winter time and not
at other times? Well, you see, he gen-
erally has the quinsy when the weath-
er is raw, and thinks he is going to
die.
The germs of consump-

There is no way but to
fight them.
If there is a history of

this fight must be constant

You must strike the dis-

THEIR OBVIOUS USE.
Right here, said the officer who was
showing the plans of the new polios
station to the visiting mayor of Saw-
buck, is where the wings will be built.

buck, anxious to show that he was not
altogether unfamiliar with metropoli-
tan slang, there is where the fly cope
will stay.
