Cause of Rust in Wheat.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
nan, after stating that the yields of the
wheat fields of Western New York will
be seriously diminished by rust, and
that it is worse on low, mucky soils de.
ic.ent in minerals, says "To some
extent, | believe that mineral fertilizers
are specific against rust. 1t is not
clear to me just why this should be. 1
remember well that where stumps have
been burned out the straw of any grain
following will be bright and the grain
plump. The question has suggested
itself to me whether the potash getting
into the circulating sap may not
obstruct its flow, and thus prevent the
flushing of all the tender new growth
with more sap than the plant can prop
erly make available. There is un-
doubtedly an excess of sap taken into the
circulation during warm, wet weather.
Tnefact that barnyard manures increase
lun while mineral fertilizers decrease it
shows that there is lack of something
in the sap of some kinds OF plants that
is not found in others. Ashes and
salt are both said by practical farmers
to have the effect of making the straw
of grain bright. Yet both attract
moisture, which it might be supposed
would increase the evil. Gypsum also
attracts moisture, and to this fact is
popularly ascribed its reputed tendency
to increase rust. The practical ques-
tiOn is why moisture attracted to the
plant by these fertilizers should produce
such different effects. ] do not attempt
to answer this further than to suggest
the theory mentioned above. Rust in
grain and blight in the pear are both
apparently caused by excess of heat and
moisture, making too sudden flow of
sap which cannot be properly elabor-
ated. Mineral manures have been recon-
mended for pear blight. Is it not pos
sible that these mineral fertilizers may
be just enough soluble TO be taken up
by the roots of the tree and may yet
prevent its being taken up more rapidly
than the leaves can receive it ?"

A Great Emigration Scheme.

An Ottawa (Can.) despatch to the
New York Sunday Times says: The
British Government has decided to
officially undertake to aid Irish emigra-
tion into Canada on a colossal scale.
The proposition made by President
Stephen, of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road, on behalf of a syndicate of Cana
dian interests, has been practically
abandoned. Stephen offered to settle
so, 900 of Irish poor in families of five
each upon stocked and equipped farm
in the neighborhood of Winnipeg, pay
ing all the expenses of moving and
settling them providing the Govern
/ ment loaned the syndicate 81, 1000, 900
without interest for ten years, the syn
dicate in turn to take mortgage of
$500 upon each farm, without interest
for the three first years, and at per
cent. after that, the settlers to have the
option af securing their holdings in fee
simple at any time upon the payment
of $500. The British Government at
first favored the proposal, but Catholic
priests in Ireland opposed it so strongly
that the Cabinet finally refused to en-
tertain the matter unless the Dominion
Government guaranteed the repayment
of the loan. Sir Alexander I. Gait,
ex-High Commissioner to London, and
Sir Charles Tupper, his successor, both
endeavored to secure this guarantee,
but failed, owing, it is said, to the
opposition of Lord Dufferin, who has
strong faith in the future of Canada,
and who bent his energies to secure
direct action on the part of the Govern
ment in favor of the largest possible
emigration to Canada.
The Canadian Government having
finally decided to lend no official i'll
dorsement to any railway schemes of
immigration, the British Government
took up Lord Dutferin's ideas, and
decided on undertaking to carry them
out. A special conference was held at
the Mansion House, and after long
discussion on elaborate scheme of as
sisted emigration was resolved upon,
based on the principleSof the United
: States homestead laws. The details
of the scheme are not yet ready to be
) placed before the public, but it has
| been decided to remove from Ireland
and settle in Canada 100000 of pooi
: Irish people in families. Lands will
. be divided into sections of 100 acres
each section to be provided with all
buildings, equipments, animals, SEED
3 and food necessary for the beginning o
? farming on unbroken land. Each
D settler will be given the use of hi,
a homestead free for the first three years
/, and after that will be required to pay
1 AS rent per cent. upon $500, but may
l at any time acquire absolute It'll,
