also be found particulars of the experiments and observations which have been made 

 during the past year in connection with the Apiary.

 dence and the readiness shown by farmers everywhere to co-operate with the work of 

 the farms in the testing of new and promising varieties of cereals furnish gratifying 

 evidence of the desire for information and improvement among this class of the com- 

 munity, also of the high esteem in which the work of the farms is held. It is hoped 

 that the facts brought together in the present issue will be found of much practical 

 value to the Canadian farmer and fruit-grower, and that they may assist in advanc- 

 ing agriculture and horticulture in this country. 



I have the honour to be, sir. 



Your obedient servant, 



WM. SAUNDEKS, 



Director of Experimental Farms. 

 To the Honourable 



The Minister of Agriculture, 



Ottawa.
