U, MoUaWBM. ftloevllle.Jubo:, '(W, Within the past serrn ycnra 133 rarie- ties of winter wh«M have been very care- fuily tested iu the sxperimeiital depart- nivnt uf the igricullural Culle);«,Guelph. Basidas ascertaiiiint; the coniparatire yields of grain aud atrair of the different Tariwties, the whtats hare be«n closely eiarnined each year for their quality of (irain, time of maturity, strength of straw, freedom from ruit, vtc, in order Iu deteruiino which kinds will .give the moat satisfactory results whan grown under unifurm condiliuiis. After the Tarioua vurietiea have been carefully tested for a few years, those which hare given the best aatisfaction are selected for distribution throughout Ontario. Tliia ayttom of cooperative experimental work enables the tarniers ts delcrinine for themselves which ef the leading vari- stice will i;ive the best resalts upon their own particular farms. As a practical re- sult from obtaining iofornuitiou in this way, hundreds of farmers are now grow- ing Tarielies in their regular farm practice which were entirely unkaown to them a slwjrt time ago. For instance, the Daw- son'a Golden Chuff variety of winter wheat, which haa recently given such high average yield* ef (inin per acre, both at '.he collef;e and throughout Ontario, was scarcely known except iu one neigh- borhood of tiuelph, until it wa* sown in our experimental grounds in 1891, and afterwards distributed for co-operative experimental work. This is now one of the m>>st popular winter nheute in this Province. In the fall of 1895 nine leading varie- ties of winter whe«.t were distributed in this way. They were divided into two seta with fire varieties in each. The Dawson's Gulden ChalT was used in both setts to form a basis by which the results of all the Tsrieties could he compared with ene another. Each person who wanted to conduct an experiment stated in bis application which sat he desired, and the fire varieties in the set selected were sent to his address, with full instruc- tions fur conducting the experiment. The grain was sown at the rate of one and one-third bushel* per acre, upon plots exactly uniform iu size and shape. The yields per acre have been calculated from the actual retults obtained from the plots. Ninety reports of carefully conducted experiments hare been receired this sea- son up to the time of writini;. As these came from 27 uf the counties of Ontario, tho results should be of real practical value to the farmers of the province.

Dawson's Oolde* Chaff was decid ediy tho moat pojuilar variety with the i<xpuritnenters, in each uf the past four years, and in 18% it was ehosen by about 50 per cent, of the farmers who sent in full reports, as being the best among the varietin tested. 10. Six varieties of winter wheat have been ttsted ever Ontario for three years in succession with the following arerage results in bushels of grain per acre : Dawson's Golden Chaff 31.8, Jones' Win:er Fife 20.1, Early Genese* Giant 28.5, Early Red Clawsoa 28 4, Araericaa Bronze 278, Surprise 27.8, and Bulgar- ian 27.2. 11. Reports uf successful experiments with winter wheat have been received this season from 27 counties in Ontario, IU of which are situated esHt and 11 west of the city of Gnelph. 12. The principal failnres in the winter wheat experiments not included in this report were caused by winter killing, grasshoppers, accidents, etc., and in some instances by the experimenters not con ducting the tests in exact aeeordanc* with the instructions given. 13. Of the 284 experimenters who have reported the reaults of their toKts for 1895, only three speak of wishing to dis- continue the CO operative experimental work, and much interest has been mani- fested throughout. 14. Varieties which have given good average results in the experinients at the college for a few years have also givea gooB satisfaction throuthont Ontario. DISmiBt'TIOIl OK SEED FOR TESTISO ri'RFO.SU.

FARM FOR SALE Every man whoso name appears on that honored roll, and who woara ou liis breast the simple adornment of the Yietoria Cross is a hero, and any one of the actions for which it was conferred, would, if the recipient had been botu iu Ancient Greece cr Rome, have won for him the applause of the ages, aud his deeds would have breu extolled in dramas or in woik of art, or iu odes written to his honor. Hut of many of tho hundreds who now wear the Cross, little is known by us, tlinii^h the men are in our midst. Yet men of all ranks and classes, and the noble and wealthy no less than the obscure and humble cheriili that mark of distinctiou as the highest the world can give. And it is significant, too, that though honors are thick npou the heads of some, aud though tlioy are privileged to attach lo their names letters indi- cating distinguished titles, the iuitials that stand foiniost are Y. C, and in courtly parade the adornment which is most conspicuous is the simple bronzo Maltese Cross, tlie same adorn- ment that is woru by the humble man whoso lionse is a garret, aud whose family arc cliildreu uf the soil. And so tills ci'OSB links all meu together, it stands ns a symbol of the highest that man as man can attain, it places the hearts anj the generous impulses of all men on a common level, and the words " For Valor " are as dear to the noble diike as they are to the unlet- tered private. This coveted diatiuc- tion, as its name implios, was insti- tuted during tho reign of our Queen, by whom tho cross is conferred per- sonally. The first occasion was in 1857, when 62 men iu both services, who had served iu tlio Crimea, were decorated with the cross. â€" Heroes of Britain iu peace aud war. . â-  I le n * • Thos.
