The people will soon follow their leaders. â€"*"The P. P. A. is in better shape now than it was two years ago," boastâ€" ed an enthusiast. ""1 know the P. P.

LX was alive two years ago, and its dead now. â€"A national conference of the Liberâ€" al party is to be held soon in England. The object is to ascertain the sause of the late overwbelming defeat, and no doubt to brace up for the future, and for the defence of those principles of liberalism which though suffering a temporary eclipse will surely tri imph in the end. â€"In 1891 Canada exported swine products only to the value of $635,732, but in 1893 to the value of $2,119,244. In the United Stares, swine products exponed, increased from the value of $15,409,647, in 1870 to ;87,281 ,174 in 1890. These figures are startling and show what a large trade is to be done in swine products. â€"The Ottawa Separate School Board has asked for the appointment of effiâ€" cient teachers in room of the Christian Brothers. The Board was unanimous on the principle involved in the resolution, but some members did not support it on the ground that it did not go far enough. Curiously the Schools taught by the Sisters were found by the comâ€" missioners to be wel! taught compara tively, although even in the ‘best of them, the character of the teaching is far short of what the Roman Catholies of Ottawa seem to be determined to secure for theirâ€"chfidren. â€"The Trades and Labor Council, of London, Ont., are indignant at the action of a contracting firm in importâ€" ing American labor, and are taking ‘steps to stop it. â€" The Council is quite logical in its efforts : the laborer has a right to protection from competition as well as the manufacturer or any cther class. If we must have protection let there be equal rights. â€"The failure of the ‘hay crop has indueed many, and very properly, to sow Millet or as it is sometimes called Hungarian grass, as a substitute. But it should be known, as we learn from a very interesting bulletin sent out by the Ontario Agricultural College, that Hungarian grass (Millet) when cut in early bloom, makes a fair substitute for hay, but, if allowed to stand until the seeds havye formed, it is not so good, for the seed is gencrally belieyâ€" ed to have an injurious effect upon the kidneys of the animals to which they are fed. â€"Again pleuroâ€"pneumonia has apâ€" peared in some Canadian eattle landed in England, and of course the trade is naturally depressed in consequence. It is idle for the Canadian officials to deny the existence of the discase. The experts employed by the British autborities .maintain that it did exist in the cases in question, and there is an end of the matter. â€" What is requirâ€" ed is that greater care be exercised at the port or embarkation, and especially that cattle shipped from the United States through Canada be closely exâ€" amined. Only recently Canadian officials were reported to have been culpably negligent in allowing diseasâ€" l ed animals to pass through. We need scarcely say, that our rulers at Ottawa are perfect adepts in squandering the peoples‘ money, and that eyery public work seems to be deliberately seized upon for the exâ€" press purpose of enriching their friends and hangers on at the public expense. The Tay Canal, the Curran bridge, the Tobique gypsum beds have reâ€" cently been made use of for this purâ€" peg and settled the matter up then He took an active part in the Crimean war, led the forces sent to rescue Gen. Gordon and put an end to the troubles in Egypt .by the brilliant victory at "Telâ€"elâ€"Keber. Not only is Lord Wo‘seâ€" ley a great General heis a great adâ€" ministrator,.and under his management â€"Lord Wolseley has been appointed Commander in Chief of the British Army in room of the Duke of Camâ€" bridge resigned. The change is hail ed with universal satisfaction by all who wish weil for the peace and unity of the Empire, and is the strongest testimony that could be given at the present time and in the cireumstances of the change, of the deference shown to public opinion in Great Britain from the crown downwards. Lord Wolseley is a distinguished soldier. In 1870 he led the Red River expedition to Winniâ€" pose. Now, the Soo Canal is being diligently used to the same end. Some time ago, the public were informed that the Soo Canai weuld be opened for traffic on the first of July. _ Later, it became known that the contractors were paid a bonus, let our readers observe, of $90.000(!) so that that might be done. The opening of course did not take place, but Mr. Haggart now hopes the canal will be opened by the first of September. In the ordinary course of things we may exâ€" pect to learn shortly that another bonus will have been paid to hurry the work up before the frost sets in. DURHAM, AUGUST 29th, 1895 to â€"Secretary Morton has a most direcâ€" tive way of impressing his views on the silyer coinage advocates who are emâ€" ployees of the Executive departments When pay day arrives they are handâ€" ed bundles of white metal, sometimes weighing seyeral pounds. Thuse who wonder why the public have no Insatâ€" iate longing for the white metal have then a chance to sound their own feelâ€" ings. An object lesson is the best for a man with a false fecling. â€"Manitoba matters are much mudâ€" dAled. â€" Here we have the Winnipeg Tribune, no mcan authority, say ing that Hon. Mr. Patterson will be here September 1st to become Lieut. Gov. of Manitoba, while Sir Jno. Schultz has lately declared that he has received po intimation of the appointment of his successor. â€" Another rumor (a 2nd ediâ€" tion) is to the effect that Sir John is tryâ€" ing to select a new Cabinet, and when this is done Mr. Greenway will have to be accommodating or be dismissed. The managing Editor of the * Globe! Mr. Willison, who is now on & trip out West, has been looking into the state of public opinion in Manitoba on the School Question. Sofar as it can be learned it appears that if the pressure of his grace, the Archbishop of St. Boniface (where by the way all the thunderbolts are forged,) were removyâ€" ed and the question couid be divested of its political character there would soon be a wide acceptance of the new school s: stem among Irish Cathotics, but more tardily by the French pcpulaâ€" tion. _ It appears also that the Catholie people in Manitoba are * bunched " into separate communities, and thereâ€" fore will practically control tke schools in their district. _ They will have the last halt hour of the school day for religions instruction, and, except that they must employ certificated teachers, and use the authorized text books there does not secms to be a neg on which to hang a grievance. Headds, certainly with much truth, that these provisions constitute a grievance, wil not be easily established. â€"Dr. Kingsford, the historian, Writâ€" ing to the Montreal *‘ Witness "â€" deâ€" nounces unsparingly the proposal to erect a monument in the city of Quebec to the memory of Captain Montgomery of the United States, who fell in his attempt to storm Quebec in 1775, shortly after the war of Independence. Dr. Kingsford advises Montgomery‘s United States admirers to erect a monument to him on their own side of the line, but, that in Canada, where the memory of their here is regarded neither with sympathy nor respect, such a proposition could not be onte thought of. In these days of peace and unity with our neighbors, there would appear to be no objection to the erection of a monument to a fallen hero any where. â€" But in the case of Montâ€" the nature of things. A monument has been erected at Quebec to the memory of Montcalm, but he was a great general and at the time he fell he was fighting for his country. . Montgomery on the other hand was a mere filibustâ€" erer and engaged in anâ€"attempt to compel a handful of Canadians to sever their connections with the mother sever their connections with the mother country, and join the Eastern States. Dr. Kingstord seem to think, however, that at bottom the proposition has a commercial basis, and, if carried into effect, designed by some cute Yankee to be a drawing card in directing U. S. tourists by way of Quebec. romery it does appear incongruous in One hundred and twentyâ€"two varieâ€" ties of winter wheat have been tested at the Ontario~ Agricultural College within the past six years. Some of these varieties have produced yields of grain which were more than double those of varieties grown beside them on "plots of the same area. ~Notâ€" enly has there been.a great variation in the comparatiye yields of grain produced by the difference in strength of straw, weight of grain per measured bushel, value of grain for milling purposes, et¢, of the different varieties tested. The results of these experiments are pubâ€" lished annually in bulletin form and in the College report, and are sent free to all members of Farmers‘ Institutes in Ontario, by the Department of Agriculâ€" ture, Toronto. The bulletin giving the results of the winter wheat exvneriments conducted in the Experimental Departâ€" ment, the past.year, is now in Toronto for publication. Report of Successfully Conducted Exâ€" periments from Thirty Counties in Ontario. In the fall of 1894, nine leading varieties of winter wheat were selected from the kinds, which nad been grown from one to five years at the Agriculâ€" tural College, and were distributed through Ontario for coâ€"operative exâ€" perimental work. These were divided into two sets, with five varieties in each, the Dawson‘s Golden Chaff being used in both sets to form a basis by which the results of all the varieties could be compared with one another. Each person wanting to conduct an exâ€" periment, stated in his application which set he desired, and the five inâ€" structions for conducting the experiâ€" ments. The grain was sown at the rate of 1} bushels per acre upon , plots 1/160 of an acre in size. 4 : Two hundred. and forty seven winter wheat experiments have reported al ready,this season. Of this number, one hundrsed favored us. with good reports of successful experiments,, eighty furâ€" nished partial reports, and sixtyâ€"seven wrote of failure or.urreliable zesults, ‘The names of the successful experiâ€" menters and the detailod results of the tests will be printed in the anngal reâ€" port . of (the Experimental ‘Union for 1895, which will be published asan repoRt. 101. ie Th tun auibn. &‘“A‘% LEADING VARIETIES OF WINTER WHEAT. s % m % fl«w ;fi?‘“’; To ":;;-“ Ei parative yield of straw and grain per acre of the winter wheat varieties testâ€" ed during the past season on one hundred Ontario farms :â€" Vite.:....~,.. 130 as 5.

CONCISE RESULTS OF THESE COâ€"OPERAâ€" TIVE WINTER WHEAT EXPERIMENTs§, 1. â€" Reports of successful experiments with winter wheat haye been received this season from thirty counties in Ont ario, nineteen of which are east and eleven west of the City of Guelph. 2. â€"The Counties of Lambton, Middleâ€" sex, Huron, Grey, Elgin, Simcoe, and Bruce farnishes fiftyâ€"one of the one hundred geod reports received in 1895. 3. Of the two hundred and fortyâ€" seven experimenters who reported the results of their tests, only eight speak wishing to discontinue the coâ€"operative experimental work, and much interest is manifested throughout. 4. Dawson‘s Golden Chaff, Early Gemesee Giant, Early Red Clawson, and Jones‘ Winter Fife gave the high est vields of grain among nine leading over Ontario in 1893, nine yametics in 1894, and nine varieties in 1895, also among fiftyâ€"three varieties grown at the Ontario Agricultural College for four years in succession. 6. In coâ€"operative experiments for 1895, Dawson‘s Golden Chaff, Jones‘ Winter Fife, and the Early Genesce Giant gave the best yield on heavy soils; and Dawson‘s Goldenr. Chaff, the Early Genesee Giant, and the Americâ€" an Bronze on light soils. 7. When the experiments followed pease, grass, or bare fallow, Dawson‘s Golden Chaff gave the largest average yield of grain, and when they followed potatoes, Early Genesce Giant came first in this respect. varieties of winter wheat tested throughout Ontario for two years in succession. 5. In average yield of winter wheat per acre, Dawson‘s Golden ChafT stood highest among eleven varieties tested £. Fanrly Genesee Giant and Dawâ€" son‘s Golden Chaff made the best apâ€" pearance in the spring of 1895, and Early Ripe looked the poorest. 9, â€"American Bronze, Farly Genesce Giant, and Dawson‘s Golden Chaff posâ€" sessed the stiffest straw in 1895. 10. Pride of Genesee and American Bronze produced the greatest length of straw, and the Surprise the shortest length. 11. Early Ripe and Dawson‘s Golden Chaff were the least, and Early Genâ€" esee Giant and Early White Leader were toe most affected by rust. 12. Early Ripe and Early Red Clawâ€" son were the first to mature, and Pride of Genesee and Early White Leader were the last to mature. * The following table gives the comâ€" graimn P Wce 14. Dawson‘s Golden Chaff was deâ€" cidedly the most popalar variety with the experimenters in each of the past three years; and during the present season, it was chosen by over sixty percent of the farmers who sent in full reports, as Dbeing the best among the varicties sested. DISTRIBUTING THF SEED FOR TESTINC PURPOSES. In the following table will be found two sets of winter wheat varieties, which wiilbe sent free, by mail, in ha.fâ€"pound lots of cach variety, to farmers applying for them, who will carefully test the five kinds in the «et which they choose, and will report the results after harvest next year. . The seed will be sent out in the order in which the applications are received as lng as the supply lasts. SET 2.
