prospects of crops at least as heavy as
those of last year, except perhaps in
hay, which, however, promisee to be of
excellent quality. On the whole, the
fruit crop prospect is excellent though
some alarm is felt lest late frosts should
create havoc. The root crop is promis-
ing, Reports from Durham and Water-
loo counties make particular reference
to the splendid outlook for the sugar beet
crop. In Middlesex county the potato
bug is doing much damage.

ket, occurred on June 2nd—just about
six weeks ago. Sidce then they have
made rapid progress towards straight-
ening out their affairs. Their secured
creditors, the banks, did not press the

thus paid out by t}ie firm in cash on

through Strathroy, London, Ingersoll
and Woodstock, The work of complet-
ing the second track on the western
division between Port Huron and Chi-
cago is progressing very favorably and
the total distence between Montreal
and Chicago over the main line will be
completed within a comparatively short
time. There are only 115 miles to be
finished on the weetero division, and
but a few miles between Toronto and
Port Hope,and the line between To-
ronto sed iegera Falls is complered.

—A bill has been put through the On-

wilt give municipalities power to pass a
bylaw prohibiting spitting on side-

trances to buildings used by the public.

—The United States department of
agriculture is making experiments for
the purpose of determining the extreme
vitality of seeds. Over a hundred spe-
cies of Planta have been packed in a soil
consisting of dry clay enclosed in pots,
and buried at varying depths under-
gropnd—eight seta at a depth of six
inches twelve at e. depth of twenty, and
a third set of twelve at a depth of three
and a half feet. At the end of one, two,
three, five, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty,
twenty-five, thirty, forty and fifty
years a sat from each depth will be ex-
humed and tested. The results of the
experiment are likely to be of extra-
ordinary value to agriculturalists, both
commercially and scientifically. In-
cidentally, it may be recalled that
authentic cases are on record which
prove that certain seeds have the power
of sprouting after having been buried
for long periods of time, reliable tests
having shown that twelve out of twenty-
one species have the power of germinat-
ing after twenty years.
