In fact wolves are very soarce. I came across only three or four packs, and there were not more than that many in each pack. They could not get through the snow any better than Sometimes, however, even that help came too late. I have seen where deer had come across the oats }eft where horses had |blew: fed in the snow. The starving deer had eaten the remaining oats, but died on the spot, because the big feed of grain was too much for it. Hay does not injure them in such a 23886. THERE ARE FEW WOLVES The lumibermen saved hundreds of deer. Hunger drove the animals right up to the camps where they were not molested, but allowed to iced at the haystacks.1 never saw a lumberman try to hurt one of them, but have often seen deer lying. beside the stack chewing their cuds. This tr a-tmmrt and the home feed littered along the cadge and draw roads have been a great help to the deer d:er could make little progress through i-t. The habit of the deer is to keep to the runways and 'h'rowse along them, but in this long, severe gwinter, the fodder close to the run- ways game out, and then the deer starved. I came across their dead bodies everywhere. Often they had waned out into the deep snow to- ward other trees, and, overcome by weakness, sunk down and died where they were. ‘Kelly “but I never saw such a. depth of loose snow, nor su'ch mortality among the deer before.

A man who is any- good can get the two deer allowed by law without dogs: and ,when they are taken in they simply worry the deer and chase them at high Speed so that they are far of-b ltener fatally maimed by the hunters than killed outnght. The deer they drive into the water nearly all die. A deem Will not take to the water zuntil it is hard-pressed. That means it is over-heated. The deer swims the ice-cold water of the lake and |gets aWay from the dog's. When it comes out on the other side it list- iens, and if there is no sound of pur- suit it stands there and shivers till it founders where it stands, and is ruined even if it does not die on the Spot.

Dr. fCoIl'ison : “The Boss Hospital is well equipped with apparata for surgieal work. and for isolating disease bacilli.” Mr. Culverwell Spoke of the respecâ€" tive claims of Port Hope and Trenâ€" ‘ton to be the southern terminus of the canal. He favors the Port Hope route. The Trenton route would cost as much to construct from Rice Hake to Trenton as the whole camel from Port pre to Lake Simcoe, he said. By the Port Hope route Orilli‘a‘. would be 88 miles nearer to Toronto by water. The time saved in coming from the up- per lakes to the sodb‘oard will he a day lees each way by the Trent ce- nal than by the Welland. or two days on the round trip.

Mr. Culvorwell held that in France News were helm: eueooufully operated with through n. thlokn «a of the lnrhee of Ice. He who showed that the large mun]. In- stead of the deep draft. was the me- deru canal. 1 The work was begun by the impor- i-al government in 1832, but, the Moâ€" Kenzie reUcllion cropping up in 1837 the money which had been appro- priated for the canal was diverted toward putting down the rebellion, and it was not until 1883 that the work was begun again. In 1890 a. commission was appointed; who re- ported very favorably on the feasiâ€" bility of the scheme and showed me benefits to be derived from the com- pletion. ' in 1825 and "when finished l‘reivg‘ht {mom Buffalo to New York was re- duced from $90 to $10. It is now proposed to spend $100,000,000 on the canal making it a 1,000 ton barge canal instead of 250 ton as at present. When completed this will reduce the {reign rate from 2} cents abushelongfiuintofofncenta b'ushcl, and this Muction will qqunl to-day, it is said, the first. reduction of $90 to $10 per ton. There was also talk of deepening the Welland canal at a. cost of $40,000,000. Now, when it is considered that $5,000,- 000 will finish the Trent canal, mak- ing the total cost of work from its inception only about nine millions, it .. can be seen what a small work‘ comparatively the Trent canal is. I AMERICANS FEAR IT ‘ Mr. Culverwell Quoted from an American marine journal showing that the Trent canal is the only route feared as a. competitor of American carriers. Theme is now 160 miles of the canal completed out of less than 200 miles total distance but as a matter of fact there is only 18 miles of canal in the whole route, the rest being natural waterway. Geologists Say in fact that this wa- terway in ages past used to be the natural outlet of the waters of Geor- gian Day and the upper lakes, at a time when Lake Erie was only a. slight depression in the ground, so that in building the canal we are only returnixg. ,to- natural conditions Canadian Waterway - Mr. J 4 A.

Yes, wheat-raising is still an important, industry in our section. We have 54 11ch out. of 300, in this crop this year. Clover has not, I think. suf- fered more injury shun usual." “Clover will not be up to last year, on account of the dry fall. A lot was left that should have then plow- ed up. This will have to be done this Spring." L. E. Annis, reporting from Scar- boro, says -: “The young clover is almost entire-1y destroyed. althoâ€" ugh the young: timothy plants are all right in this part of Scanzioro. Very little whoat was smm' last- fall, but I am afraid what \1 as sown} will have to be plowed up.

Thom isa small acreage compared with last year." The clover is in about the same condition, but will stand some hard- ship, as it has sultened little or none yet. or course that pastured last fail is not in- such good condition, but on the whole the prosxmcts are favorable." B. B. McLean of Kippen, in Huron County, reports as follows: “Fall wheat. although gmen, is 9pparcnt- 1y rather tender to stand much (rest and sun. This part of Huron county is heavy clty, and unless wheat has been saw on sod it is liable to suf- fer from spring frosts ; it has sufl‘er- ed in this part to a. limited extent, this spring. It had not, the usual top last fall, and the heavy blanket, of snow all winter leaves it more tender than usual. Preston indica- tions are that the crop will not be a full one, unless the season is fav- arable. “Fall wheat and clover," says A. W. Smith of Maple Lodge Stock Farm, MiddleSex County, "seem to have come through the‘ winter safely in this section», except in the very wettest fields and small spots. where unusually deep piles of snow have smothered the crop to a certain ex- tent.” Input-Vamm cache m They ~ -su an: the crop Has unmochywai.

In ord- er to obtain an answer, The Sun has obtained reports from representa- tive farmers in different parts. of the province. These reports very some- what, but on the whole are favor- able, especially those received from the Huron tract, where fall wheat is largely grown.
