The tumbling mustard, declared by Dr. James Fletcher, entomologist and botanist to the Dominion Experiment- al farms, to be one of the very worst weeds to be found anywhere in the North West Territories, is a plant not much to boast of for beauty, but is very injurious to the erops among which it harborg/ and is so called from its proclivity of tumbling about by the wind when the Read breaks olf as the seeds become ripe, which leaves it a prey to the hich winds of autumn ang early winter, hy which" it is blown for acrogss the prairie in a rolling scattering "its myriad seeds, and clinging to any obstacle or fence that may happen to be in its way. It has been known to grow two feet broad and three in height, the tall flowering stems being covered with pods nearly three inches in length, each" one of which contains about 120 seeds. A single plant sent in for examination from Indian Head, NW.T., was found to contain more than a million and a half seeds It is said to have all. the had characteristics of the other mus tards, and it is about ten years since it 'was first noticed as a troublesome weed among farm lands, during which time it has spread' over many thou- sands of acres in the western prairies. lte distribution -is owing. almost en- tively to its rolling propensities dur- ino the windy fall and winter months, affording the seeds an'excellent oppor tunity to scatter themsélves hroadeast oter wide 'areas. 1ts original home is said to be the south of Europe, but it appears to be of a roving temper ment. and. has a knack of making it coli comfortable in' other lands, not withstanding that it can hardly be said to have received the warmest wel- come, 'The prairie grasses that clothe these great fields in months of suntmer and orow thick upon the sod, are worthy of more than merely passing mention. An old geography used tp teach that a prairie a wide stretch of level country covered with Jong grass, and the impression" sometimes conveyed to the youthful mind is, probably, that the grass grows as hich as a man's head, the same as Ancient European cuts, in picturing the Canadian maple in sugar-making time, to repre- «mt the sap running out of the spout like water owt of a pump, so that a man was kept busy with twa pails hustling from the tree to a barrel These may undoubtedly be said to be vivid representations, but they are cely historic.

The -abund- ant rains which have fallen this spring and summer--so abundant that it is said there has not been as much in these parts for the space of fifteen or twenty vears--and the absence, for the most part, of the" destructive hail storms so damaging to the labors of the hushandman, at times causing al- most utter ruin to a season's crop, have been very feaitful in producing a thick and prolific growth, uniting to vield a prospective harvest that may well delight the heart of the jolly far- mer, aud send words of telegraphic fre to the east for help to cut and thresh the ripening ears. Should the weather continue to prove favorable and there be no loss to the abundance now ripening in the open fields, Mani- toba 'and the territories will require an army of thousands of men to as- sist the farmers in 'their efforts to get the golden ears in shape for trans- portation, and the C. P. R. company will find a task on their hands before which it will be practically unable to cope. In order to show that our lan- guage is not wholly rhetorical a few tigures, the product of personal - en- quiry. may not be amiss to those who be are interested. 2 About eleven miles from here there is a district abundant most in its wheat producing capabilities, and ene comparatively well settled for Mani- toba and the territories. On one of the farms, where the crops are as rich as anv. in the neighborhood one and one-half bushels and one gallon of, orain were sown to the acre Last vear there was a yield of thirty-one bushels per acre. By measurement of two stalks growing among the wheat. one was found: to have attained a height of five feet one inch.; the other four feet ten inches. In a specimen sxamined there were. nine stools from the first. each containing in all about sixty grains. Standing there amid these glorious stalks the eye ran away over broad fields, teeming with oreen and magnificent in their promis- ing abundance, and we were told they extended three mike east, and f south, the greater part of which was under cultivation. Here are some fig- ures for the Ontario farmer,--let: him ompute the number of grains in that one pateh, the stalks growing as thick almost to the square foot as marsh in Ontario. A year ago the C. P.R. was practically powerless to get the great vield out of the country over its line, and this year, notwithstand- ing an increase in the number of freicht cars thade ready against the tarvest time, and the encouraging de- clarations on the part of some of its b hich "oflidials, | there is every probabi litv of a rather embarassing blocade for months during the fall and winter, the farmers drew much of their grain to the elevators in the winter time, when the roads were good and the tranke--as--hard---as brick, -and--even to this day load after load of last year's crop finding its way in the Bain wageons to the centres of transpovta- tion.
