THE FISHERY FARCE Unper the spoilssystem the protection the the

of our fiaberies has been reduced to veriest farce. We are informed that fishery laws have lately beea openly and defiantly broken in and around this Pro- vince, Nova Scotiaand New Brunswick. The chief cause of the failure of the of- ticers to do their duty lies in the spoils sys— tem. Under this system, careful and eff- cient officials have been dismissed to make place for Liberal cflice-seekers — not all of the highest character. Takethe Win- ter River district as an instance. Shortly after the Liberals gained office, Sir Louis Davics had Messrs Duck aud D ver turned out, and in their places Were put ove mao who bad previously been implicated in the violation of the fishery laws and another who was by reason of physical infirm‘ty unfi ted for the work, So it goes all over the country. Certain favored Liberale are given tbe spoils of office, while our fisl er- ies great and small are being destroyed. lo a few years, if the present officia! laxity continues to prevail, we shal] have neither lobsters nor oysters as @ source of wealth and Prince Edward Island will cease to have attractions for the angler.

OUR STREETS AND ROADS.

Tue Commissioner of Roads for Ontario makes a noteworthy statement when he Says :

“A town’s atreet’s should be the public lawns, the public parks. They should be to the corporation as a whole what the grass plot in frout of the house is to the individual resident. There is no higher evidence of the taste and refinement, enter- prise and intelligence of a community, than well paved streets, bordered with fine boulevards acd handsome shade trees. Ill-kept badly laid out streets speak of the public poverty and narrowness, aa utter absence of that spirit which should possees every citizen loyal to hie town’s interests aud wiselv attentive to his own. Public atreets substantially paved snd boulevarded will in turn encourage a similar treatment of the private property adjoining them. Thereis no departure which would 80 instil patrotiem,and love of home and country into young Canada, as the per-

This remark is beyond a doubt, true. We trust that our city councillors and the people of the province? at large will make a note of it and act accordingly.

OAT GROWING.

‘Tae farmers of this province mus necessarily continue to grow large quan- tities of oats. If oats should not be wanted for export they will be needed for con- éumption at home by borses, cattle, piga, sheep, etc. It is important, therefore, that farmers should grow such oats as will give the largest returus. This matter has received special attention attne Ex- perimental farms of Canada, and some of the resulis of the tests applied have been given tothe public by Dr. Saunders. The plan adopted has been to prepare what are called uniform test plots, ‘selecting a piece of land large enough totake in all the varieties of oats, witha soil uniform in character. This isdivided into smaller sections, usually a tenth of anacre each. These are all cows on the eame day, so that all the varieties have the same chance as to soil, preparation and growth. The seed sent to al] the farms isthe same in fertility amd vigor, sotbat the experi- ments may be uniform. These plots having been al] sown on the same day, are watch- ed throughout their growth; the day on which they come up is noted, also the date they head; andthe ;day of ripening is especially watched for and recorded, as it ig very important to know which are the earliest varieties, for the reasoo that the earlier ripening cereals are of 80 much importance. ll the conditions being equal, if there sre any marked differences in the yield, they must be referred, either wholly or in part, to differ-

ences in the fertility and vigour of the |

nipie. We knew that ia the breeding of

} stock, strains are develoy ed which can be perpetuated by careful crossing and carefv] ng, and it prec isely the same with

erain. Every kernel has an individuality of its own, and every variety has some

i po ntea of difference in re gard to growth or

nders tested last vear 58 varieties of oats. The highest yield was 85 bushe emi 10 jbs., per acre, and the loweet yield 45 bushels and 1@ pounds per

re. so thatwe bad a difference of 40

buehels per acre between the highest and

lowest vields, under- as far as we could sce—precisely similar conditions. Cer- tainly the same Conditions as to weathe:

was the Here ig a sample of the Benner such as we have been distributing this year. [i is part of acrop grown at Indian Head, where there were 20 acres which gave an average of over 97 bushels to the acre. That seed was preserved for distribution; it was shipped to the Experimental Farm here and thoroughly cleaned before being sent out. Ninety-seven bushels and 21 pounds was the actual’yield per acre of that 20 acres, givingatotal of 1,958 bushels. This Banner oat bas been under cultiva- tion at the Central farm for a nnmber of years, aod from the outset, it bas stood above mo*: of the other varieties, and has given much the greatest yield for the last tour or five years, sothat it has beeome quite prominent 4s a vigorous variety aud excellent yielder.” I yentured to remark pefore this comm ttee last year or the year before, that if it were possib'e to supplat all the other vatieties of oats under culti- vation in thé Dominion, with the Banner, Thad po doubt thatit would raise the average yield from. five to ter bushels to the acre al] ovépdhéconntry even with the newest methods ofeultivation.

The Ligowo —Another varietv of oata which vag found very good, is called the Ligggo which was imported from France a ix or seven vears ago from the well known seedsmen, Vilmorin, Andrieux & Co, of Paris. This variety gave a vield of 71 bushels and J6 pounds per acre in asmall plot, put in afield Jot the yield was 70 bushels and 15 pounds.

The Abundauvee Oat.—The Abundance ig another variety which was g»t from the same source and has also been under cultivation for some years. Is is a good deal like the Ligowo, but the grain has a decidedly yellow tint and is distinct in its character. This war aleo amorg-t the high yielders, giving 72 bushels and 12 pounds per acre in plots, and in a field of 4 acres averaging 60 bushels per acre.

The average yiéld of all the 58 varieties, of oats teste] at “the different tarms, was 64 bushels 28 pounds per acre, giving avery high yield throughout fo; tbe 58 varieties. These figures are a long way ahead of what has been done on the

average by the fatmers in the Dominion:
