Wheat in Canada.

Experiments with winter wheat I'M
der the direction of the Ontario Agri-
cultural union give results which may
be summarized as follows:
/. In average yield per acre, DaW-
sons Golden Cbaff stood highest
among eleven varieties tested over On
tario in 1898, among nine varieties in
each of the years 1894, 1896 and 1896,
and among seven varieties in each OF
the years 1897, 1898 and 1899.
2. In the cooperative experiments
for 1899, Stewards Champion Bearded
Winter Fife, and Dawson's Golden
Chaff came through the winter the best,
the Golden Drop the poorest.
3. Early Red Clawson and Imperial
Amber were the first. and the Bearded
Winter Fife and Stewards Champion
were the last, to mature in 1899.
4. Dawson's Golden Chaff and Early
Genessee Giant possessed the strongest
straw, and the Bearded Winter Fife the
weakest in the tests of the present
year.
s. Stewards Champion and Beard
ed Winter Fife produced the longest,
and the Golden Drop the shortest,
straw in 1899.
6. In the cooperative experiments
Of each of the past six years, Dawson's
Golden Chaff "a one of the least, and
the Early Genessee Giant was one of
the most, affected by rust.
T.. In 1899 all varieties were practi-
cally free from smut, as the seed used
was so free from smut spores.
8. Stewards Champion and Daw-
sons Golden Chaff produced the plump
est, and Imperial Amber and Early Red
Clawson the most shrunken, grain in
this years tests.
3. Stewards Champion and Daw-
sons Golden Chaff were the most popu-
lar varieties, and the golden drop the
least popular, with the experimenters
in 1893.
10. During the past seven years Daw-
sons Golden Chaff has been an ex-
ceedingly popular variety with the
farmers who have been conducting
these co = operative experiments
throughout Ontario.

HOW TO Paok Annian.

Country shippers and packers of ap-
pies should make it a point to pack
their fruit honestly; that is, have the
fruit run alike all through the barrel,
says the Chicago Trade Bulletin. Do
not endeavor to cause deception by
placing good, sound, large fruit on the
top and bottom of the barrel, and fill
in the middle with a lot of gnarly,
wormy and decayed fruit. 1t does not
pay. The deception is easily detected
upon investigation, and merchants do
not care to have fraud practiced upon
them, neither do they care to practice
it upon their customers. Full regula-
ton sized barrels should be used. Take
the barrel, one head out, nail the hoops
and break off the ends of the nails at
the inside; place a layer or tier of
apples, good and uniform size, smooth,
bright, healthy, as closely as possible,
stems downward, IN the lower end,
then fill up a basket full at a time.
throwing out small, wormy, gnarly and
windfall apples, and shaking the barrel
we'll after each deposit until it Is full
two inches above the rim; place the
head squarely on the apples; and with
a screw or lever press, force it into
place and nail securely. Turn over the
barrel and mark name of apple with
red or black lead, or stencil. Bear in
mind that, to be shipped safely, fruit
must be packed tight, to prevent rat
thing or bruising. In shipping apples
the first of the season-early varieties
shippers should see that openings are
cut on the side of the barrels and also
in both ends, to admit of free circula-
ton of air, which will greatly help to
bring apples through In good condition
during warm weather.

Clearing lana N1thcub GruDDIHSs
The destruction of forest timber by
means other than grubbing the trees
out has, for many years, been an object
for research by experimentalists, and
various recipes have been given as in
fallible but there has always been a
flaw somewhere, and the discovery has
come to nought. There is, however,
one method of getting rid of heavy
timber which has proved successful,
although very slow, and consequently
can only be adopted where the necessi-
ty does not exist for speedy work, says
the Queensland Agricultural Gazette.
Some dozen acres at Woody Point
have been cleared of very large trees,
some white gums especially having O.
diameter of from six to seven feet. The
land was heavily timbered, and yet
was cleared at a cost of about 26s. per
acre. The owner, who is fond of max
ing experiments in this line, found in
an American paper a process OF de-
stroying growing trees, and determined
to try it on his land. With an inch
auger he bored deep holes in the trees
and filled them with powdered salt
petre. He then plugged up the holes,
and on examining them some weeks
afterward he found that the salt had
been entirely absorbed. He r~eplenished
the holes two or three times and waited
to see the trees wither. Instead OF this,
to his great regret, he found thai they
had inRrnocn1 ~ dnnCifu. on6 hn21fV
Of foliage. The salt seemed to have
given them new life, as 1t was carried
with the circulating sap from root to
leaves. Evidently something was
wrong. After a time he met a Canadian
gentleman to whom he casually men
toned his experiment, and expressed
his opinion that he could not have read
the recipe correctly. The Canadian,
however, told him hat he vas quite
right. S~altpetre was the only ingre-
dent used, and thousands of acres were
cleared by it's use in Canada. What a
to be done, however, after the salt
had been carried through the trees was
to ringbark them, and when they were
dead to fire them. The Woody Point
man set to work and carried out the
ringbarking. When the trees were
quite dead he set them on fire, with the
result that the trees burned completely
out, eve to the farthest tips of the
roots. Before all were burned out
heavy rains came on and swamped the
stump holes, putting out the fires, but
the experiment was a decided success.

men that farm under glass is true, but
1t IL also true that the expense is cor
respondingly great. The writer knows
OF a man at Minneapolis who has a
considerable area under glass. He
sells annually several thousand dol
lars worth of cucumbers and tomatoes
before other growers get the same
products into the market. AS he has
no competition he can set his own
price, and he does. We have recently
seen an account of a German gardener
located near Leadville, Colo, who sells
several thousand dollars worth of
cucumbers each winter from his glass
garden, charging sometimes as high as
Is cents per cucumber.
The Wealthy apple is one that Is
very valuable in the Northwest, where
1t is SO difficult to raise any kind of
apple of fair quality. To find apples
that will stand all tests as to hardi-
ness and productiveness is not an easy
task, and some of the best horticul-
turists in the west and northwest have
devoted much time during their lives
to produce something that would be a
benefit to future generations. Among
the many attempts few have succeeded.
One Of the successes has been the
Wealthy apple, and the successful man
was Peter M. Gideon, residing at Ex-
c%elsior, MINI. The Wealthy apple has
proved so successful that it is fruited
over a wide stretch of country. Vast
sums of money have been made out OF
it, and it promises to be a greater
money-maker in the future. 1t is only
fair that the growers of Wealthy ap-
pies be duly grateful to the originator.
We understand that Mr.. Gideon is now
more than "a years of age and in des-
tltute circumstances. Apple-growers
have started a movement to in some
degree reward Mr.. Gideon for what he
has done. A plan has been put on
foot to have each man that is growing
the Wealthy apple assess himself l
cent per tree per year and forward the
amount to MI. Gideon. We hope that
those among our readers that are
growing this variety of apple will fall
into line and forward the sum indi-

According to telegraphic reports
from Austin, Tex, at no time in it's
history has Texas ever had SO many
drouths as during the past summer
and this fall. Every section of the
state from the Panhandle to the gulf
has been visited by a drouth. The
outlook in most of the larger cities Of
central Texas is anything but promis-
ing. Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Aus
tin and n or two other larger cities
Of the state are at present in the throes
of a water famine. From points along
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad
from the Indian Territory down to
Bastrop comes the announcement that
there is a distressing scarcity of
water. Reports from the ranges say
that cattle are dying for want of water
and as there Is little promise of any
reavy rains before December the sit
uation is grave.

American commercial a1ertness
seems to have taken away the breath
of those British merchants and COM
mercial bodies that have been watch
ing the progress of the Philadelphia
commercial congress-. The complete
collection of foreign samples gathered
for the use of the home manufacturers
has filed their minds with astonish-
ment, and they are now urging the
British board of trade to adopt similar
measures. The British merchant must
exhibit more activity and less indiffer-
ence than he hitherto has done If he
expects to regain any Of the business
taken away from him by the United
States through superior enterprise.

Before the passengers of the strand
ed steamer Paris" separated, last
spring, they presented to the officers
and crew resolutions of thanks for the
wonderful discipline, courage and IN
failing h%elpfulness they had shown.
After this had been voted, Baron OPP
penheim, one of the w%ealthiest Jews
of Europe, rose to his feet. The reso-
buttons, he observed, included the cap
tain, the under-officers, the stewards,
cooks and crew; but of the one to
whom each directly owed his safety
of God-he had heard no mention
They were folk of many beliefs, gath
cred there. He would not even call
for a spoken prayer, but he suggested
that they bow their heads there in
silent thanksgiving to the common
Protector of them all. One is forcibly
reminded of another shipwreck, nearly
nineteen hundred years ago, when q
Hebrew of the Hebrews, n Paul by
name, gathered the Gentle soldiers
and sailors about him to give thanks
to the Ruler of the seas.

ELECTRICITY as we know it" is just
a hundred years old. In 1899, the
Italian scientist Volta gave definite
form to the method of producing the
current; and it is from his mann that
we have the term "volt-meter" to de-
scribe the instrument which measures
the force of the current, and volt as
the unit of that measurement. We
know several persons who would like
to wait around and see what develop
ments along this line may be reached
by the end of another century.

From time to time we hear reports
of the enormous profits realized from
gardens under glass. An English gar
dener claimed a short time ago that
he could make more money from ten
acres under glass than most men could
make from 10000 acres of land not un-
der glass. This is probably a little
strong for most of us to accept. How
ever. that enormous sums are made by

1t seems that the consumption of
wine in France is steadily diminishing
owing partly to the prevailing opinion
among the common people that wine
Is too frequently ~injuriously adulter-
ated, so they have turned to a bever-
age which they believe is too cheap to
warrant adulteration, namely, cider.
In 1895 the consumption of cider
in Paris alone was upwards OF
$1,000, 900 gallons. But in 1898 owing
to the failure of the apple crop in the
provinces where the product was made,
the cider consumption dropped to COM
~paratively nothing. Owing to the pro-
hibitive duties on cider of about six
teen cents a gallon in Paris, its ex-
tensive importation was impossible. 1t
vas necessary to obtain a substitute
sin which," as our consul at Bordeaux,
the famous American author, Albion
w. Tourgee, says, "two things are es"
sential-frst it must have a pleasant
fruity flavor; and, second, it must not
make too heavy a drain upon the
purse" To meet this demand "pi-
quette' was evolved. A sparkling,
fruity but harmless beverage.
Following is a recipe furnished by
one of the leading manufacturers of
Bordeaux: Five pounds of raisins,
five pounds Of dried apples, and five
gallons of water. Put in an open cask
and let stand for three days; bottle
with a Tablespoonful of sugar and
a bit of cinnamon in each bottle. Vary
the flavor to suit the taste.
In 1893 $4,000, 900 gallons of this
beverage were used in France. OF in
terest to us is the market offered for
dried apples. The consul says that
"The dried apples used in its manu-
facture are the lowest grade CT wind
falls-sliced, including skins, cores,
and Inhabitants without distinction
as to quality or variety, except as fol-
lows:
"Q) The thin slices must be well
dried and securely packed, SO as not
to color OF heat upon the voyage. The
| slices must be white and have a spicy
odor or they will not sell. (2) Decay
ed or over-ripe fruit should not be
used, as it gives too dark a color to
the product and Will not bring a price
sufficient to pay cost of shipment"
Bronze Grass Pasture.-At the ex-
detrimental farm at Indian Head, Can
ada, an interesting experiment is being
made in the seeding down of prairie
land with bronze grass for pasture.
Bronze hay was a heavy crop on the
farm this year. ONE of it going 5h
tons to the acre, with an average crop
of about 2k tons. An interesting fact
came to light in connection with the
feeding Of Bronze grass and hay to the
Is work horses. The horses are weigh
ed every month and when they had
been feeding two weeks on Bronze
grass and hay 1t was found hat an
average gain of 40 lbs. a head had been
made over the previous weighing.
There was no change in the grain ra-
ton and no difference in the amount of
work performed.
