The situation in regard to cattle is undoubtedly one of the most uncer- tain and unsatisfactory in the whole range of market conditions. To begin with, there were few farmers in Ontario who were not caught short of feed last spring. The natural effect of this will be to induce the average man to lean a little towards the other extreme in the coming winter--in other words, to reduce his herd below reasonable limits. In some sections--in Leeds, Lanark, the Bay of. Quinte District, North Bruce, and Manitoulin---the situation is acute. How acute it is may be seen from the reports of good milch cows going at ten and twelve dollars, and feeding bullocks at eighteen. All this points to the marketing of a lot of unfinished cattle before snow flies, with the depressing effect -on market conditions which such a movement always.has. It would:seem to indicate with equal clearness a limited supply of really well finished beeves for the Christmas and Easter Bernie & Co. markets--and next spring's export trade. With the prices likely to rule for feeding cattle this fall, and the outlook for the output 'ok all the jstables such as it is, there ought to } profit in | feeding Cranbrook.

Altogether the harvest .which is now about over has turned out con- siderably better than was anticipated earlier in the season, when the prospects looked none too bright. The cold and rather backward spsing, excepting where it was responsible or late sowing and unfavorable con- ditions for growth, did not injure the crops © generally,- and hay, wheat, barley and oats have all turned out a good average in this section. The wheat ard barley, much of which has already been threshed, are giving exceptional yields, from 40 to 45 bushels of wheat, and as high as 50 bushels of barley to the acre being reported by a number of farmers in Elma. - The splendid yield of winter wheat is having the effect of increas- ing the acreage which is being sown this fall, and this is but natural, seeing that this year's crop will bring very nearly @ much as the value of the laud on which it is grown. The most productive parts of our Can- adian West do not make a better showing, and although this year's wheat yield is exceptional, the farm- ers about here generally secure a good average return, the excellent yields of some crops making up for the deficiency in others. The present ry spell is causing considerable shrinkage in the dairy industry, and the root crops are also suffering more or less, but these are likely to recover to some extent when the early fall rains set in. Onthe whole the farm- ers of this district have cause to be satishied with this year's returns, and trade in general, which so large- ly depends upon the harvest, should be quite up to the average this fall.

Mitchell to have a Fruit vaporator. TOWN GRANTS FREE SITE AND EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION TO PROMOTERS. Another live industry will be started in Mitchell in the near future. Mr. W. Case, of Clinton, who has a number of fruit evaporating factories throughout the country, was in Mitchell last week and was shown "jaround by Mayor: John Skinner, in quest of securing a site for the build- ing. A vacant lot on St. George street was chosen, next to Thomas McLaren's blacksmith shop, and the contract has been let for the -im- mediate erection of a factory. This will he a great hoon to the farmers and fruit growers in this section, as @ lot or their "fruit usually goes ta waste. The factory will employ about 20 or 25 hands.

The Largest and Fastest Boat Afloat. England has once more become the possessor of the largest and fast- est steamship in the world--the Lusitania, owned by the Cunard Co. Sir Henry Norman says in the Westminster Gazette: "She is the biggest, most powerful, fastest, most luxurious, most costly ship that hag eyer sailed the seas, and she is as British as her flag. with brains and materials, from bhag®plate to crow's nest, and from prow to propellers. A few figures-se'ected a'most at random, will convey idea of this colossal and record-breaking vessel. She is 785 ft. long, 88 ft. in beam, and 33 ft. in draught ; her gross tonnage is $2,500, her horse power is 68,000, and her speed over 25 knots; she will carry 2,350 passengers, and with ber crew, over 3,150 souls; she has four propellers, 25 boilers and 192 fur- naces ; to fasten her-together she has required 500 tons of rivets; she will burn 5,000 tons of coal between Liverpool and New 'York; she bas cost £1,500,000. Both the Clyde and New York harbor have had to be dredged to allow her to pass. For this ship a special building has been erectéd as a secret designing:office, no person being allowed inside who has not. taken the official oat of secrecy." Miss"Ella M.
