are also reported. Several corresâ€" pondents point out that late pastur- ing was responsible for some of the poor fields of path clover and alfalfa. Alfalfa.-â€"Reports regarding alfalfa are not quite so enthusiastic as us- ual, as both winter .and. spring condi- tions were trying to this crop, and many of the fields are somewhat patchy. As in the case of fall wheat and clover, alfalfa has done best on well-drained land. A ; Vegetationâ€"Unusually warm wea-4 ther in the latter part or April and‘ the early part of May caused growth in the field, orchard, and forest to go ahead with a rush, and vegeta- tion was estimated to be from a week to two weeks ahead of the nor? mal. Cool weather with night frosts coming in about the 8th of May, however, gave an" almost complet; check to growth from that date to time of reporting; and while orch- ards seem to be more forward than usual, pastures are now only about ordinary. In most cases cattle are on the grass and are getting a good PAGE TWELVE Clownâ€"In the western half of the Province, in the Northern Districts, and in most of the Lake Ontario counties, clover has done well, espec- ially in the case ofnthe younger fields. In the more eastern. part of the Province, however, much of the crophas been more or less killed out during the winter and spring, 31- though even there some good fields part of April and the first few days of May, which gave a good head to the plant, but subsequent cold weath- er has acted as a check. Takenlalto- gether, however, the present outlook for the crop is most promising, ex- cept on late sown fields or on low or poorly drained land. Only a comparâ€" atively small acreage has been plow- ed up or resown with barley or other sprifig grain. Much less injury than usual from insects is reported. Fall Wheatâ€"This crop wintered well notwithstanding the light pro- tection of snow, and the early spring weather was also favourable, there being comparatively little heaving or other injury from frdst. There was an unusually rapid growth in the latter The following statement regarding the crop condition in the Province, based on the returns of Correspond- ents sent-in On or about the 15th of May, has been issued by the Cm- tario Department of Agriculture: CROP CONDITIONS ' ' M I OT I c All letters from Canada must be addressed w to our Canadian Correspondence Depart- ment in ,Windsor, Ont.

While there are complaints of some of the stiffer clay soils being hard to work, and remaining somewhat Iifihp, most of the reports speak of the condition of the seed 'bed as being from fair to excellent. All the Spring grain made a good catch as a rule; but several correspondents stated that more rain was necessary in order to ensure the best results. Fodder Supplies. â€"Farmers are in a ‘ better situation as to fodder supplies than for many years. In most locali- ties there is a sufficiency of hay, and in many QUarters a plentiful supply. There is also a sufficiency of oats on hand in most cases, although this and other grains are now fied more freely. than formerly to live stock. Wheat is somewhat scarcer, but there is enough for all requirements on the‘ average farm. The only deficiency apm pears to be in the quantity of straw‘ on hand. bite. Very timely rains were falling as our later correspondents wrote. Fruitâ€"In the first week of May. orchards gave promise of an immense yield. The trees were coveredwith fruit budsâ€"many in full bIOOmâ€"and small fruits were also blossoming profusely. Between the 7th and. 11th of May, however, a. series of severe night frosts occurred, the effects of which are variously described. A careful sifting of the reports shows that early strawbernies were badly nipped, but that the later varieties happily escaped. Some bush fruits, ’ such as currents, were also caught in ksome of the more advanced sections. iIn the fruit lands along the lake shoresâ€"more especially in the Nia- gara districtâ€"fruit trees sustained comparatively little harm from the frosts, but some of the orchards farâ€" ther inland were injured to some ex- tent. Of the orchard trees, apples have suffered the least and plums and cherries the most, but in no case as seriously as was at first expected. To sum up the injury from the severe frosts of May has’turned out to be much less general than was feared at the time of the frosts, and a good yield of all classes of fruit may still be had should favourable conditions prevail. The presence of the tent cat- erpillar in unusually large numbers, is complained of by many correspond- ents in the eastern half of the Pro- vince. Are you a. victim? Have you lost hope? Are ygu intending to marry?

THE LINDSAY POST. GOES TO JAIL FORTUNE Mr. Sylvester, literally speaking, is full of ambition. Several years ago the Sylvester eompany of Lind- say owned by 33¢};an Sylvester and N aturauy the inventor, Mr. Syl- vester, is pleased with the success of the machine upon which he has de- Voted so much time and thought. He has finished threshing at the Drinkle farm, and is shipping the machine to Kerrobert and he leaves for there himself this afternoon, where he will demonstrate the su- perior features of his invention. in the wagon attachment at the rear. During the demonstration the machine took up sevei‘al swaths, threshing it in remarkably short time, leaving the pure threshed grain in ‘the wagon absclutely free of husks and chafi. The pick-up attachment on Mr. Sylvester’s thre'sher is one of its :strong'e-st fieatures. There are four Rats Of forks“ which lift the stocks from the ground. These stooks pass through the machine, where the en- tire threshing operation takes place, nd the husks eliminated. The pure grain passes through a funnel at the rear of the thresher and is deposited Richard Sylvester, the inventor of the machine, has worked for years to bring it to the pitch of efficiency he has now attained. It has been improved and added to from time to time until today it stands'supreme among implements of its kind. and capable of performing faster and more satisfactorily than any other like machine. The whole ‘ outfit weighs about seven tons. Its method of operation was demonstrated about ‘one year ago at the Silverwood farm where R. H. Potter first view- ed it. Both Mr. Adams and. Mr. Potter were greatly impressed with the efiicienCy of Mr. Sylvester’s inâ€"‘ vention, ’ and stated that all that 3 was needed now was sufiicient capi- tal to finance the sale of it, proâ€" phesying that there would be exâ€" tremely heaVy demand. Accompanied by Mr. Adams, man- ager of the Cockshutt Plow Com- pany, Ltd., and R. H. Potter, man- ager of the International Harvester company, a reporter from The Star was taken out to the Drinkle farm this morning, where the remarkable machine is being demonstrated on a field of flax. Only three men are required to operate the implement, which is capable of threshing two bushels of grain in, from one and a half to two minutes. It is capable of twenty-eight horse power and is a; speedy machine in every respect. I i fiaskatoon, May ISâ€"A threshing {machine that has been perfected gthrough years of arduous work and 'hrought to a stage that it is capa- ble of traversing a field, picking up the stocks of grain, threshing them, gand emptying the thrashed grain in- ‘to the wagon attachment at the rear, in faster time than any thresh- ling machine now on the market, has ‘been invented by Richard Sylvester, formerly of the Sylvester Manufac- turing Company, Lindsay, Ont. The machine ,is of the automobile thresh-j er type, and is an example of what inventive genius coupled with long experience, is capable ol bringingl out. WOMAN'S BODY The Walkerton Times says: Mr. John McDonald, a prominent C. P. R. contractor of West Toronto, was in Walkerton this week, and had thr remains of his parents, Mr. and Mrs McDonald of Eden Grove, exhumed from the old Presbyterian cemetery and removed to a plot 1n the present Walkerton cemetery. On opening the grave of his father, only a few crumbled bones remained, but in the grave of his mother was discovered a. stone image of her whose features he could never forget, and which might easily have been set up as a statue to her memory. The head, face and body of the woman were so natural that had the son not knoWn that his mother had departzd this life some forty years ago, he could easily have imagined that he was confronted by the living, instead of the stone image of his parent. It is a most remarkable instance of hum- an petrification,'and were it not that Mr. McDonald doesn't care to have the sainted image of his mother placed on exhibition for the gaze of the curious, the stone corpse might readily command attention in some great museum. It took the united ef- forts of four ableâ€"bodied'men to lift the human rock from the ground and place it in its new grave.
