The New Canadian, Minister of
A,grioultuv'e.. 1,
Sydney A. fisher, Partner artd 1
stook -breeder,, has been aippointed
Minister of Agriculture in the new
Canadian Government, Ile is the I
owner of Alva Steels. l+arnt, (compris-
ing some four hundred fertile aeres„
near Knowlton, P, Q.,) whose
Guernseys have won distinction in
the show -rings for their owner and
breeder. It ranks among the most
beautiful and best -managed farms of
that thrifty agricultural district, and
its dairy and other products, as well
as its live stock, attest the practical
skill and enterprise of its owner.
Hon. Mr, Fisher was a son of Dr.
Arthur Fishes', of Montreal, whose
grandfather came to Canada from
Dunkeld, Scotland. He was horn
on ,Tune 120, 1850, so that now he
is in. the 'very heyday of a vigorous
manhood. Educated in the High
School and hfcGill University, he
graduated in Trinity College, Cam-
bridge University; hence, his attain-
ments in that respect are of the very
highest order. For twenty-three
years past he has devoted his whole.
time. and abilities to the study and
practice of agriculture, which he
very properly. regards as a science
as well as a business, the principles
of which men must observe if they
would • succeed. Connected 'with no
other' business or profession, he once
bluntly and modestly* described him-
self as "only a farmer." He was
first elected 1i. P. for his present
seat (Brome) at the general election
of 1882, and was re-elected in 1887.
In 1891 he sustained a reverse, but
in the recent election he was again
triumphant. During his nine years
of parliamentary service in the
:'House of Commons- he interested him-
self especially in whatever concerned
the interests of farming. His long
residence and active interest in the
affairs of his county caused him to
be made Justice of the Peace for
Bedford district. For a number of
years he has been a director and
Vice -President of the Quebec Provin-
cial Dairy Association, director and
Vice -President of the Provincial
Fruit Growers' Association, and a
director of the .Agricultural Society
of his own county, so that- both
locally and provincially. he has
earned the. confidence of his fellows.
When the British Association for
the Advancement of Science asseiuhl-
ed'at Montreal in 1884, lie was
asked to write a paper, which was
presented to alit learned body, on
behalf of farming in the Province of
Quebec.
The new Premier, in casting
about for a representative of agricul-
ture in his Cabinet, accorded to Mr.
Fisher the honor for which his ex-
perience and attainments alike seem
to have pre-eminently fitted him.
Canada being essentially an agri-
cultural country, we long ago took
the ground that the time had arrived
when the necessities of the situation,,
demanded that the Agricultural De-
partment should have such a man at
its head. In this connection it is
also satisfactory to note the presence
of Floe. 11r. Joly in the Ministry,
who, though not a farmer, has al-
ways taken a personal interest in
the agricultural progress of his
Province, especially in the matter of
forestry, which is with hint a great
hobby, Then the new Postmaster -
General, Hon. Mr. Mulock, though
eminent as alawyer and scholar, is
likewise• a', farmer on- a large scale
in the Ccunty of York, Ont. Breed-
. er's will remember the vigorous and
helpflxl`'_ way ins which he brought
before the last session of Parliament
the 'matter of outrageous freight
rates on breeding stock which sotne
overreaching railway officials sought
to impose last winter. .
!11tr, Fisher is to be congratulated
upon this distinction, which we be -
1 Neve will command general favor;
but it is a position imposing many
land serious responsibilities, and we
feel safe in bespeaking for him the
co-operation .of all who have at heart
the interests of farmers and breeders,
feeling certain that whatever pro-
mises to promote their interests will
! have his most careful and enthusias-
William Moore, a former resident .
of -London West, has just returned
front Texas, and is visiting Mr.:
Thomas Ralph, of Leslie street, in
London West.
Moore brought a live alligator
'Mine with him. The animal was
enclosed in a strong wooden box, and
yeas three feet in length. It had
ja}vs that were unsafe in appear-
ance; and visitors, were not the less
comfortable that the box was strong.
But the alligator escaped. Nobody
seems to know where the animal
went or how it escaped, except that
the box was broken open, 'apparently
from inside. A search was at once
commenced, but no trace of the
alligator can be found.
The annual is supposed to have
made . for the river, Unless it is
captured tbe presence of the alliga-
tor will probably be a more effective
preventive of bathing in the river
than a whole squad of police.
}low Social Success is Won.
"I think," writes Rltth Ashmore,
addressing a reply to a girl corres-
pondent who asks how to become a
social success, in August Ladies
,Homo Journal, "that you will be a
, social success, for you are pretty to
talk with, and pleasant, too, to look
upon, but you must remember every
day and every hour of your life
'that social success is only obtained
by continued thought of the value of
• ;little' Slaings. The little pleasures
are ,really great ones, the little
• courtesies are keenly appreciated,
and the. little politcnesses are those
'+
;hat will make you not only a lovable
girl, but a lady. I think to be a
social success you . might be that.
Eefornhers are prone to' say that the
'finest name that can be given to you
-or to me is woman. Perhaps that is
true. But it seems to pie that you
• should also wish to be called a lady.
You are a woman by birth, and a
lady because ot your taut and good
manners. There is many a woman
truthful and honest, but so lacking
in tact that she cannot gossibly
be called a lady. If, therefore; you
wish to have society approve of you
yon mast be ladylike and tactful as
: well as womanly."

Precautions in Pasturing Rape.
To those who have grown rape
for a few seasons no word of pre-
caution is necessary, but to the great
number who are just commencing
to cultivate it a knowledge of some j
of the dangers associated, with feed-
ing it will be helpful. Without
care, bowel disorders are likely to
occur with some of the flock; especi-
ally so if the rape is young or wet
with dew or rain. If hungry sheep
are turned among' rape before they
have becorne accustomed to it, there
is great danger of bloating, and per-
haps death if relief is not given. If
such occurs, a salt and water drench
should be given and a 'wooden., gag
tied in the mouth to. facilitate the
escape of gas. To avoid Any such
trouble have the rape well grown
and dry before turning into it; then
never admit hungry stock. Until
they have become accustomed to it,
whiol ,will be about a'week or ten
days, sheep should be t llowed to re:
main in it only during the miry .por-
tion of the days. Ater that they
can be fairly safely admitted at their
pleasure, if they also have access to
a grass pasture. This rule,however,
tnust be departed from as soon as
frosty nights commence. Frosty
rape is about as dangerous a food as
can bo given, causing inflammation
of the bowels and death in short
order, 'but when the fact is under-
stood it can be guarded.against.
.Another source of trouble in a rape
field, especially with fat sheep, is
that of becoming cast upon their
backs in the merest depression.
Drilled rape is especially liable to
cause trouble in this way, When
fat sheep become very full they be•
come entirely powerless to regain
their feet if once they roll into a
depression with their feet in the air.
The means of guarding against such
a troub-i'- to visit the Sock at least

It is from Alaska that these wolf
skins conte that furnish the material
for the rug now so papular in house
furnishings, •• says the Chicago
Journal.
They are shipped thence by teres
of thonsaincls, and it may ho imagin-
ed that the la,tiuiinaux who kill the
aliimals get an extremely small price
for the pelts, which are sold at so
low a figure atter being cured and
made up into rugs, The secret of it
lies in a.scheure by which the wolves
are induced to destroy each. other
wholesale.
The method is very simple. The
Esquimau takes a thin blade of flhtt,
chipped so as to be sharp as a razor
along the edges. This is fastened
securely to the end of a wooden
stake and drives the latter deep into
the ice, so that the flint blade pro-
eets above. Then he binds a chunk
of seal blubber around the flint blade
with a string of sinew, thus conceal-
ing the sharp instrument within.
• By and by along conies a big gray
wolf. 1.1e is hungry, as wolves al-
ways are. His nose is supernatural-
ly
upernataual-
ly keen anti he has scented the
dainty morsel of blubber faire atter.
Eagerly he begins to lick the fat,
which is frozen (lard. This process
melts the blubber a little 'and it
tastes delicious. After a short time
his tongue comes into contact with
the keen edge of the flintand it is
cut. The blood flows. All ! The
flavor makes . him wild, for he does
not know that it is his own. blood!
By this time otht•r wolves have
arrived at the spot. These animals
travel -in packs, because only thus
can they assail the reindeer and
other large beasts with success.
They likewise lick the blubber, cut
their tongues on the flint and taste
the flavor of blood. • It • maddens
s4ent, and in a few minutes .the stake
dri a into the icer is the centre of a
crazy mob of r• ving wild dogs.
They attack each ther and fight to'
the death. It is a Jarful spectacle: I
They go on fighting i ntil. all are dead'
or desperately wounded.
Some hours later the Esquimau
appears on the scene again and sur-
veys
ur-veys it with satisfaction. The ice
around the flint -headed stake is
reddened with blood. All about are
scattered the bodies of dead wolves.
The ingenious hunter camly proceeds
to skin his lour -footed victims and
carries the pelts away ot: his sled.
This process of destruction is uni-
versally practiced by the Alaskan
natives,,and is many fold over efts-
caeious than any orddnary method of
hunting could be. k A party of
hunters can stout kA

will not suffice for them to gather up i
the wolfskins which are the harvest
of that stupendous slaughter.
The Alaskan plan of wolf hunting
has a charm peculiarly attractive to
the leisure -loving Esquimau—it re-
duces the work to a minimum. His
only objection to it is that, after the
wolf gets himself thoroughly 'killed
he can't skin himself and convey his
hide to the market town. • His sys-
tem is a more deadly and more
wholesome one than that used by the
Indians still further south, in driving
the 'buffalo out of existence.
