A COSTLY LESSCN
The news from Natal on Saturday
was not what, L1,e Angol-Saxon world
bad been looking for, but it would
take many such reverses as that which
General Buller suffered on Friday
last, to destroy or to even secsibly
diminish, confidence in the ability of
Great Britan to carry the war in
South Africa to a successful issue.
-The subjection of the Boers is no
child's play. Other nations have had
to learn similar lessons. Charles XII
of Sweeden swept everything before
him in Germany and Poland, and when
• he invaded Russia, be had many suc-
cessf ul encounters with Peter's army,
but he had to take bis medicine at
Poltowa. The United States enlisted
men for ninety days to crush the t e-
t,ellion of the Southern Confederacy,
but the oiler►ttion took four years.
Bull's Run made a blacker page of
military history than has yet been
written in South Africa, but subsequ-
_ ent victories erased the memory of
that defeat. It is not surprisicg that
General Hart should have failed • to
force the passage of the Tugela io the
fsce of an er.emv that had ample time
for preparation to prevent his ad-
vance. But it is hart to understand
how Colonel Long could have tun his
artillery into an aro lab, where gun-
ners and horses were shot down, and
guns bad to be abandoned for lack of
weans to use the. or to drag t'hern
back. An advance of scouts would
surely have discovered the presence of
the Boers in the vieinity of the river.
Bet there is nb use in crying over
spilt milk. All the talk about eating
Christmas dinner in Pretoria was
founded upon an underestimation of
the enemy that confronts her Ma-
jesty,s armies. The South African
war is one in which it is not safe to
leave anything to chance. The Boers
are as watchful as they are brave, and
so far they have anticipated every
movement of the invader. British
bravery alone cannot conquer such a
foe, fighting on their own ground. Sup..
erior numbers, superior strategy, per-
haps patient labor in cutting off sup-
plies, will be required to dislodge the
Boers from British territory, and after
that there is a heavy job in sight
in the Transvaal itself. Not the
least serious phase of the situation is
the lose of such officers as General
Wauchope and the Marquis of Wind-
t'hester. But General Hector Mac-
Donald and General Tucker have been
sent from India to South Africa and
50,000 bore men are to be sent to in-
crease the fighting force under General
Robert's command. The nation is in
for it, and there is no way out but to
whip the Boers and to do it thorough-
ly, no matter what the cost may be in
men, in money and in time.
Canadian horses, sustable for ar-
tillery and cavalry service, are being
quietly picked up tbroufhout Ontario
by dealers who see in the present con-
dition of the English market a chance
for ready sales and a good profit.
This will send the price of horses up
at a rate equal to the prevaling high
prices for cattle, and will give the in-
dustrious farmer still another chance
to better his situation and to feel he is
being enriched both by prosperious
peace at home and all conditions abroad
One of the features of the Dominion
ebck show, which was held in London
last week was the poultry department,
superintended by Mr.A. G. Gilbert, of
the Ezperttnental Farm. Mr. Gilbert
lectured on the breeding and care of
poultry, while Mrs. Gilbert addressed
those present on the proper dressing
of fowl for the market, with practical
demonstrations. This is one of the
most important of our farm industres,
with great possibilities of expansion,
and should receive increased attention.
In 1896 the value of the poultry in
Ontario wss returned by the Bureau
of Industries at $2,140,807. For 189T
the value rose to $2,317,038. With
care eZorcieed in breeding and feeding
to meet the export demand the value t
a
should be doubled in a few pities. The
annual reports of the poultry manager
which appear in the bulky volume is-
sued from Department of Agriculture
might, with profit to chicken raisers,
be issued in a pamplet form as a bul-
letin for general distributi(r. In one
of his late reports it was shown that
from an experiment made with fifty
bens, that the net pro6 s in eggs way,
$93.93, hut reducing the cost of rear-
ing the chickens and the value of the
grain feed to farmers' figure, the profit
was very nearly, if not fully $' per
bead.
WAR ECHOES.
Oom Paul looms big. He should
feel proud to have Lprd Robeits Lord
Kitchner and the other big wigs sent
out against him. And 0)m Paul will
pay the bill.
Great Britain has been engaged in
over forty wars, big and little, since
the Queen came to the throne in 1837
In fact there has hardly been a year
without fighting of some sort
The Canadian boys are moving
along into the enemy's territory.
They are said to be rendering effective
aid in more ways than toting rifles.
Tney are showing what they know of
constructing art; by and by they may
try their destructive skill on the Boer
forces. And Canada knows that what-
ever capacity they serve they will do
her credit.
The slaughter of the Highland
Brigade in the affair at Megersfontain
was a terrible minutes work with loss
in killed acd wounded at 832. But
the wars of the centuary afford many
such examples. Duryee's Zouves went
into action in the second battle of Bull
Run, Virginia, Aug. 30th, 1862, .with
490 officers and men, and in the -short
space of six minutes lost 118 killed
outright, and left on the field 184
wounded and many of these died of
their wounds, 5 missing, never account
ed for) supposed to be killed, making
a total of 307, This was the largest
loss of any one regiment either in the
Union or Confederate armies in so
short a space of time and the numbers
engaged.
ANOTHER CO '.TINGENT
Canada's Second Offer Accepted
By The Imperial Government
Ottawa, De 18th—An official des-
patch bas been received by Lord Minto
from the Imperial authorities, accept-
ing Canada's offer of a second contin-
gent. No number is specified. The
Minister of Miltia is of the opinion
that artillery and cavalry are what is
reuuired, and the contingent will be
mode up as already stated in this
correspondence.
The Cabinet at once proceeded to
consider the whole subject and at the
close of Councit, the Press correspon-
dents were handed the following offi-
cial statement:—
"The Imperial Government have at
length cabled their acceptance of the
offer of the Canadian Government,
made on the i th of November last,
of a second contingent. A Cabinet
was held this morning and instruct
ions were given to the militia depart
ment to prepare this second contin-
gent to go forward at the earliest
possible moment. A cable to this
effect has been sent to the war office.
It was handed to the Press Corres-
pondents.
The composition of the force will
probably be as follows:—
(1)—"A" and "B" Batteries of the
permanent corps. Their peace strength
being 230 but the full field strength
is over 300, and they will be brought
up to that. They will take 12 guns.
(2)—A force of 300 or more of
Cavalry or Mounted Police and the
Royal 'Cananian Regiment of Cavalry.
(3)—A battalion of Infantry, prob-
