A despatch from Ottawa says : The Commons Committee on Agriculture and Colonization submitted its final report to Parliament on Thursday. It rnentioned that in Great Britain the. average wheat crop is 30.95 bushels per acre. In On- tario the average of winter, wheat is 22.50, and of spring .wheat 18.92. show- ing that wo are not in this respect a great way behind the Mother Country; France averages 19.57 busiels,"`which is Under the average yield for Ontario. Manitoba gives about 18.45. The North- West of Canada 19.13, while Russia in Europe gives an average of 9.05 bushels per acre, and -the United States 13.43. The Argentine Republic gives do average of 11.76 bushels per acre. Aus- tralasia as follows : New South Wales, 9.9 bushels per acre ; 'Victoria, 7.18 bushels ; South Australia, 6.62 bushels ; West Australia, 11.51, and Queensland, 15.77. Referring to the dairy industry in Canada, it says it is in a, very prosper- ous edndition. Canadian cheese is now regarded In the British market as second to that of no. other country. This is largely due to the introduction of cool curing rooms, as an adjunct of cheese factories, arid the ample provi- sion for export in cold and cool storage. Large quantities of small fruits of the . apple orchards are left over -annually. These are not marketable, owing to size, but it might be profitably. manufactured into excellent jam, jellies, etc. It is suggested that co-operation would probably convert what is now a loss into a profitable 'industry. The report. concludes : "A careful sur• vey of the entire field demonstrates that agriculture, the corr'er-stone of national wealth and power is in a more prosper- ous •condition at present' in Canada than in any other country of the wcii'1d,, while the yet unmeasured territory of rich virginal lands -awaits settlement, ready to' respond bounteously to the in- ' dustry and intelligence of many millions of willing hands.

Those few bright days at Arden were but stolen from a fool's paradise, 'the only paradise; he thought, with unwonted . bitterness, men ever en- joy in this perverted and perverse earth.

After all, he hada right to win her; there was nc justice in frustrating the happiness of his life 'because Paul An- nesley could . have no more earthly en- joyment, and was it not a happier fate foe Alice to, love a living man than a .dead one?

It seemed as if Time had rolled backward in its 'course, and not he:. son but her husband. as she knew him in • the fullness of his strength, was coming to her side again. "Dear child!" she murmured within herself, while her kind eyes clouded, "I never thought Wm so like his father till of late." . \Vhat was the change that every one noticed in him? she wondered, as she watched the well -knit figure, 'carelessly clad in a light morning suit, moving with firm • even tread over the grass.
