Atkinson (North Norfolk) says seed- ingis pretty well under way, and will be concluded by the first of May But that section, he adds, is always acouple of weeks ahead of the To ronto district. North of Orillia and between that town and North Bay, the fern ers have been unable to do anything as yet. The snow is pretty well out of the fields, but all the water expenses in the Lake of Bays district are still frozen over. The general effect is. therefore, one that brings a cold chill to the traveller. and must have some efiect even upon the residents in holding back farm activities. Arnong the evidences of advance- ment. the: have recently taken place in the business world has been the reorganization end extension of the well known proprietary medicine business of Dr. T. A. Slocum, Limit. ed. of Toronto. In other words, each day of the present month has been on an aver age, four degrees colder than a simi- lar number of days in April of all the years since 1849. Comparatively been very little month up to date. Dr. Smellie (Fort William) said that the impression prevailed in the older settled part of Ontario that there were no farms north of Lake Superiou. whereas the fact was that there were hall a dozen townships well filled with cultivated farms.

Its progress has been so rapid dur- ifik the put few years that it has omgrov‘vn ite capital, consequently The mean temperature for the first eighteen days of the present month was 35. 0. or 3 8 below the average in more than half a century. 001. Clark (Centre Bruce) said that when he was home a couple of weeks ago. the enow was all 03 the ground, and the fall wheat was looking ex- treemely well. There have been recently some cold nights, however, and these may have had injurious efiect. In the eastern part of the Province Mr. G. H. Ferguson (Grenville) says that farmers have in recent years turned their attention almost entire ly to fodder crops. which are not so susceptible to injury as various forms of grain. There has been no snow for two weeks. but it is only now that the ground is being opened up The middle of April last year all the plowing had been done. This is in contrast with the month of March. which was five degrees above the average for thirty-three years. / Allover the Province the condi- tions have been very similar. and as aresult farm Operations have been greatly retarded. (Toronto News.) In fifty-eight yenrs' there has been no April that has developed weather so cold as has characterized the pres- ent month. THE COLDEST APRIL IN FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS. Mr. Wm. Thos.
