WHEATHE'xâ€"eennuefirs. Results of Winter Wheat Experiments at the Ontario Agricultural College, 1897. One hundred and eighty-nine plots have been devoted to winter wheat ex- periments this season at the Ontario Agricultural College. Owing to the late harvest and the exceedingly wet season no Winter Wheat Bulletin can be issued this year in time to be of much practical service before the period of winter wheat seeding is reached. In an experiment with ninety-one varieties of winter wheat, grown under similar curiditions in 1897, it is found that the seven Varieties which stand highest in the yield of grain per acre among eighty-six varieties grown on the experimental plots for four years in succession. The following list gives the names of these seven varieties with the average yield per acre for four years, and also with the average yield per acre fer this seasonzj,’:§:_‘::‘g§ Varieties Average yieldeield 97 Dawson's Golden Cliall‘ 53.4~."-j 53.5 Early {ed Cluwson 50.6 5514 Ezyptian " .1. 52.3 Early GenesceiGiant 50.1 57.0 Reliable 4 . a?“ “21;! 49.2 50.1 Golden Drop 49.0 57.6 Imperial Amber 45.8 56.2 Although the comparative order of the yield of these seven varieties are not the same in 1897 as in the aver- age of four years, still the fact that they gave the largest yield in bo‘h cases among all the varieties tested is a very important feature in the experi- ment. Land upon which peas were used as a. green manure in 1896 produced a considerably larger yield of winter wheat per acre than similar lands upon which rape or buckwheat had been used as a green manure, or which had been used as a. bare summer fallow This experiment was conducted in duplicate, but for only one year. It is being repeated this season in a similar way. Large plump secd sown in the ant- umn of 1896 produced 3 23 bushels per acre more than the small plump seed; 6 4-5 bushels per acre more than shrunken seed; and 42%; bushels per acre more than the seed which had been broken with the machine in threshing. The Same number winter wheat grains were used in the different selections, and the experiment was conducted in duplicate. In the average of four years experi- ments in cutting two varieties of grain at five different stages of ripening, the results show that the grain out before maturity does not give as large a yield as that which was allowed to become fully ripened. The details of this ex- periment Clln be more fully studied when they are printed in the annual report of the College for 1897. The average result of an experiment conducted for five years in succession, in sowing Winter wheat at different dates in the autumn, show that the seeding of September 2nd and 3rd gave :Eof a bushel per acre more than the seedings of September the 7th and 9th and 7:} bushels per acre more than the seedings of September 17th and 20th. It is found that it IS not usually advis- able to sow Winter wheat in the vicinity of Guelph later than Septem- ber 9th. PREVENTATION 0F SMUT IN WHEAT. An experiment in treating seed wheat for the preventation of smut has been conducted for two years with quite satisfactory results. Infected seed wheat not treated for smut pro duced a. crop containing an average of 2146 smut balls per bushel of grain; while that treated with Potassium sulphide produced an average of 109 balls of smut; that treated with Copper Sulphate, 12 balls of smut;and that treated with hot water 9 balls of smut per bushel of grain. The hot water treatment which is one of the cheapest and most efl‘ectual remedies, consists of immersing seed wheat for fifteen miuniteslin hot water at the temperature of 135 degrees F. The water should not go below 130 and not above 135 degrees. Not only is the hot water treatment very efiectual in killing the smut spores, but it frequent- ly improves the productive power of the seed, as shown by the increased yield of grain per acre. Every farm- mer in smut infected districts should treat sufficient seed to insure the harvest of clean grain for seed next year. DIS'l'lllBli'i‘li .V (U3 .v y. .

As the foundation of a dessert, mar- malade is unequalled, and by many per- sons it is preferred to jelly with meat. as with all other conserves the finest flavor, color and substance can only be obtained by the use of choice fruit and pure sugar. and not then if tin vessels are used, or one “weries in well doing,” and allows the compound to adhere to the bottom of the saucepan and burn. To prevent the latter, constant stirring, witha wcodeu ladle, is necessary from the beginning. The greater the quantity of water used in Cooking the fruit, the longer must the compound be boiled before it is thick enough to take from the fire, and the darker-colored will it be. Marmalades are kept in cups, glasses or covered mar- malade pots, and, like ielly, it should be allowed to remain uncovered twenty-four hours before it is sealed. Always keep in a cool dry place. PEACH MARMALAIIE. â€" Pare, quarter and weigh the frutt. When one-fourth of the quantity is prepared, extract the kernels from the pits ; cut the former in small pieces, cover with cold water, and steep slowly for fifteen minutes. Strain, and set the liquor aside. If a large quantity is to be made at one time, use two vessels for cJoking, so their contents can be stirred from the bottom easily. Use the liquor from the peach pits instead of water, and cook the fruit slowly, stir- ring constantly. When perfectly soft. rub through a colander and return to the fire. When it boils add three-fourths of a pound of granulated sugar for each pound of fruit ; carefully remove the white froth as it ises, and boil fifteen minutes. stirring as before.

The average amount of coal bunkercd is 3,000 tons. The timcrequired to unload and stow is about 40 hours. and the total average cost of the work is 81.000. These figures, varying only with the coal consumption of the ship, will apply to the , vessels of other transatlantic lines. I Effort to reduce this expense has been productive of many ingenious mechanical tit-vices, and the inquiry is often raised. . why none of these is in general use. The answer is given in the statement by a rep- rcsentative of one of the transatlantic lines, “We have had many offers to deliver coal to our steamers at the rate of any- where from 50 to 500 tons per hour, but what is the use when we cannot take care of it inside any faster than we do new?” In a modern ship fuel must be stored wherever room can be found that is not required or available for other purposes. Coal cannot be received on board faster than it can be stored away in the bunkers, which, in the case of a modern liner, is at the rate of about 1}; tons per man per houn More primitive methods prevail in ports of less importance than those at eithtr end of the Atlantic lines. In the West Indies cooling is almost exclusively done by ncgr women, who pour in a ceaseless stream over the gangplanks, each carrying about 100 pounds of coal in a basket poised on her head. In Mediterranean ports the work is done by men instead of women, but for the most part with the same primitive imple- ments, shovel and basketâ€"S. Howard Smith in Cassier’s Magazine.
