Mr. Lauriur has announced tha t be will take a pi-ohibiliou plebiscite as soou as it is possiblo to do so. These plebiscites are not niucli iu favor since uotiug liow the one taken iu Mani- toba a few years ago has been treated. TLey do not amount to much. The B. C. K"^'^ uiuiea continue to boom. We have not yet made our in- vestment, and have about decided not to puicliase more than 8-'>000 worth of stockâ€" that is providing the boom coutiuues until we have laid by that amount. At present prospects lor biijiug are not b'-iglit. Ouo hundred thousuud people, it is estimated, visited the Toronto fair on Monday. The attraction which drew this crowd was the great Chinaman, Li Iluiig Chaug. He came to the Euburbs of Toronto, visited the fair aad started oa his jouruey across the contiueut all in tht space of two hours. It was a great visit â€" for the ahoY. It reprebcnted possibly $25,- 000 of an income for that day. Phew! Why didn't our East Grey directors endeavor lo secure His Peacock Fea- ther and Yellow Jacket Excellency to •vait for our exhibition ! Great Britain is apparently getting tired of the continued Aiiuoniau strug- gle in Turkey and has sent a strong note of protest to the Hultau, and also d.spatched an ambaHsadur to person- u|ly interview that gentleman. Let UB trust that the protest will be fol- lowed by vigorous action and that Turkey tnny be foieed into submission. It is a ciying and bloody disgrace to humanity that this inbnman poten- tate should have been allowed to con- tinue at' long as 1.0 has the butchery of Chriblian men, women and bab s ill his realm. It is tiin<3 the lien awoko, and the bear and the ea;.!le should bear hitn company in a right- eous cruKadn against this iniquity. Talk about the cunojity of fouigii- ars causing them to inspect the be- longings of European travellers, aud dai kies pinching white men's skins to sec if it wore gciiiiino ! The people of thin country have it down to a line art. Wo know thiongh the press fc'verything about I.i iluiij;. We know his breath is rank, that he gruiins in his slctp, the material his elothcs are made of, what he eats and liuw ho can wink like a white man. Wo know ho likes to look at ballet girls in suinmor clothes, and that ho is a t^eiKiral all-round cuiiosity when OJUiiarod with omsekes.

Toronto rejoices in a baby girl, tivu day.'i old, who weighs ten pounds.

Suund (Jen- It dues not soeui prudent for the Oiitaiia faiiuot lo invest ixny inomy in winter barley or iu winter oata iu the present Blulo of our knowledge .Many years ago the claima of winter oiilis were prcssi'd niion the hiiniera in Kuiue localitieB of the province. Tlioy weie tried, and iu every instance proved a failuie. Ever and anon boiiie farmer meets with the claims of winter oala and also winter barley, and ill the imlnral hope of getting Homell.ing good he aendj for seed. lUil thus far the results have been much the Hauie irUerever these crops Imve beeu triid. The experiment btations at Ottawa and Uuelph are the places really where such grama should bo tested. Aud they are being tested at those BlatioiiH, as is manifest IVom tlio reports made coiicciniug them. Beed has been im- ported from Europe, the Sjutliern blales, and the Western 8lates, and tried on lue station graundd, and lit- tle ui no succcis has liitlierto resulted fioiii the work. Of course, we are not to conclude that winter barley aud wuiler oats will never be grown in thi.-i country. Such a conchusion would not bu jusli- liablo. Ear fioiu it. Expoinuenta lion should go on. Tliero is uo say- ing what may not yet arise from such expsriuienlution. Other varieties may be iutroduood, more hardy thau the sorts hiihcito tried, and aeclnnati'iiation may yul bo made lo ,voik wonders with iliose crops. The young farmer of to-day inuy yet live long enough lo »co great revuhiLioiia broiigiit about in tbo in- troduction and adaptatiou of crops oiher than those that we now have, but, ill the mean tune, the furmer should light shy of wiulei oala aud winter hurley.
