Two weeks ago the reports, rela- tive to the crops, that had come to hand indicated that this province 3 never before had better prospects at the sanle time of year for a bountiful harvest. Later reports issued since , the heavy rains will, however, make considerable change in the calculat ions. Still, tlle situation llligllt have been much worse had the rain con- tinued a day or two longer. The last four or five days have been per- fect: harvest days, and the country has lunch to be thankful for. The hay crop has been heavy, but a good deal of it has been badly in- jured by the rain. The wet prevent- ed fall wheat hardening, and consid- erable of it sprouted, thereby causing much less. Corn is a good crop, and, roots generally will yield heavy. The oat crop promises well, but barley was badly knocked down by the rain and wind. Much of this grain will be . .!\‘<-4.A» .- ;v-. ~ .A unsalable except for feeding pur~ poses. Cheese producers are sure of an extra good season. The pasture has been exceedingly good ever since quite early in May, and prospects were never brighter ill many counties fora great production of cheese ill the autumn season. With favorable weather for the re- lnainder of the harvest, farmers’ pros- pects will be brighter than they have been for years, notwithstanding the in j ury from recent rain storms. A Vleronr‘ron’SIliTWILrRID. In a recent interview with a re- porter in England Sir Chas. Tupper said :â€" “I regard Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s preferential tarifl' as an absurd scheme, altogether misunderstood by the English press and people.” Evidently the English Govern- ment think they understand Sir Wilfrid Laurier, or they would not {be moving so quickly in the matter. Sir Charles Tupper has contended all along that the proposal to give Brit- .ain a preferential tariff was inoper- ative on the ground that she was al~ ready bound. in commercial treaties with Germany and Belgium. Word now comes to hand that these treaties have been denounced, and that they will cease to be operative a year hence. As these treaties have been in force for over thirty years it is certainly a great compliment to the Canadian Premier to have them de- nounced so soon after his proposition has been explained. As it is known that Britain’s trade with Germany and Belgium is greater than it can possibly be with Canada for some years to come, some surprise was manifested that the treaties should be EU soon denounced, but judging by the press the preferential idea is re- ceiving universal approval in Engâ€" land. â€"â€"â€"_â€" TEACIIEITQâ€" If you want to make $150.00 during ' duly and August. ill a good canse,, writc or wirc me quick.

Quite a number of our townspeople, drove over to Sttlllif\'ille on Saturday to witness the lacrosse match betwvcn the Stoufl‘ville and Markham teams. A drive of 15 miles seems a long way to go to see a, lacrosse match, but lovers of the national game were well paid for their trip on Saturday. As Markham had defcatcd Stoufl'ville by 8 to 1 about two weeks before, some people expected rather one-sided play, but such was not the case. From the time the ball was faced until the whistle blew at the finish, the play was fast and furious, thus giving the large crowd of spectators all interest- ing and exciting time. Time and again was the rubber passed from player to player on the some side, from one end of the field to the other, (Ind seldom would it touch the ground un- til a shot was made on gong; Pl‘csi- (IcntJ.
