The kinds of vegetable used in this ex- periment are radishes, lettuce, beets, beans, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, water-melons, mufikmel'ons, cauliflo- wer, egg plant and corn. The re- sults of this experiment will be pub- lished in the annual report of the RDER, THURSDAY, AUG. 13th farm, but already several interwting facts have been noted. The temper- ature is at times several degm higher in the enclosure, the greateSt difference being at night, which is very favorable to plants 93:43 75mg. ceed best in hot weather. During heavy storms the rain comes through the 5cloth as’ a. thick mist and the soil is; hence outside. Badishes were ready for use three 1 days earlier inside and were perfect» 1 1y clear from maggots. while those ; outside were rendered almost worthâ€" 1 less on account of them; ’ cauliflow- ; ers inside were also free} from mag-- gots, while those outside were bad- ly afiected. Tomatoes ripened ear- ‘ lier inside, but it is‘ doubtful if the crop of fruit will set as well as out- side. Cucumbe , melons, beans and egg plants are more advanced inside than out. Even if it does not prove profit- able to grow many kinds of vege- ‘tables under cheese cloth, there is no doubt but that in the home garden this method would give good satis- faction for most vegetables. An enclosure has many advantages. The cats, dogs, chickens, birds and even children, can be kept out while all injurious insects except those al- ready in the soil are excluded. The cheese cloth used in the experiment costs 44} cents a yard of 40 inches in width. The height of the entlosu're is about 6 feet 6 inches. The exâ€"1 periment Was suggested by a some- what similar one which was tried by Mr. Graham Bell in Cape Breton last ‘ year. Experiments of this kind are also being made in the United States. ‘ Tobacco, which has been grown so successfully in the state of Connecti- cut, under cheese cloth, is also be. ing tried in another enclosure on the farm. â€"â€"A Winnipeg despatch says :â€"â€"-The eastern half of the province has suf- fered for want 9f_rain, and crops ‘An‘ 1‘...“ uuv vv- ... __.._ fered for want of rain, and crops are going to be light. The western and northâ€"western portions have been fairly well supplied with rain, and crops are going to be a good aver- age. Cloudy, cool days and rain in the eastern part the beginning of this week have done much good in holdâ€" ing grain from ripening too fast and pastures are also greatly benefited. Haying is in full swing. but the crop ‘ is light.

T wenty- one were injured, some fatally. The show was travelling in two sections over the Grand Trunk tracks from Lansing to Lakeer, and the accident, it is said, was caused by the failure of the second section of the train to stop On time. The second crashed into the first at full speed. The enâ€" gine of the second section cars of the first section were com-ple- tely demolished. Much valuable proâ€" perty was destroyed, and the loss to the circus people was likely very heavy. Some of the animals were killed. The scene after the collision was appaling. The wreckage was strewn and piled high. The shricks of the injured and bellowing of the frightened animals could he heard above the hiss of escaping steam and the excited shouts of the rescuers. It was some hours before the injured were rescued from the wrecked cars.
