DL14P 'PLOUGHING.
(omen:amen.)
The heavy rains of the last month,
resulting in the "drowning out,"
"aealding out," and " rotting out "
processes that haee taken place in so
many fiat and low fields all over this
part of Ontario, have called to the
minds of the farmers in a very forcible
manner the fact that there must still
be a great deal of underdraining done,'
even in places that are not usually
• Considered wet. Draining, however,
' takes a grew deal of time and in many
cases more money than the average
:former feels able to afford, and so' from
year to year the puts it off, waiting for
a time. whin , he can more safely bear
the extra,expense. While we hope to
see the amount of draining done each
year largely increased, we would su;-
., gest a plan which, while adding but
filittle to the ordinary working expenses
of the farm, will to a considerable
extent counteract the effects of im-
perfect drainage. We refer 'to deep
ploughing. Very few farmers plough
:deep enough, though the advantages
.to be derived from it are numerous.
Whether the season be wet or dry,
deep ploughing is better than shallow,
especially where the soil is naturally
I !sold or close in texture. Any person
who has done much ploughing knows
Iiow difficult it is to get the plough
'below the usual depth. There will be
,a, surface soil of six or seven inches,
•which turns up loose :and mellow, but
beneath that is a close, hard subsoil
' through which the water cannot pene.
trate, but in times of heavy rains lies
there chilling the roots of the plants
and literally, as is often said, drowning
Them out. If, -however, the soil were
Moose and porousfor a depth, of ;.twelve
or eighteen inches, the water would
settle through it and away from .the
plants, leaving them only moist enough
for a good, healthy growth.
So much for wet seasons, but how
can deep ploughing be advantageous
in time of drought I Just iri this way:
+Heat, like cold, passes throtieh a solid
•substance more quickly than through
a porous one. For this reason we
.cover 'Our ice with saw dust, instead of
putting it in a house having a solid
brick .pr stone wall. Tlie same prin.
•.ciple applies to the soil. The loose
soil, with plenty of air space between
the particles, does not allow•the heat
to penetrate and dry it out, and mois-
ture is` retained to supply the plant,
while, .in the other case, the soil soon.
bakes' Lard, dries up' and the plant
suffers: Still another beneficial effect
.of' deep ploughing, in a .dry season is
that as the surface of the soil dries
.out the roots are able to work their
-way'do'v1n deep into the cool earth and
thtls find supplies of .moisttire,whereas
the case of shallow cultivation,
when the roots reach this lifeless hard
pan subsoil,,they can go no further
and soon, like the seed in the parable,
that fell on stony ground, they wither
tawny because they have no depth of
earth. So much for the purely tele-
•chanical effects and benefits of deep
ploughing, Thero are other reasons
wby`}iloughing should be deep, based
upon the chemical• composition of the
Soil, but it is not the object of this
article to deal with them,

the Toronto Presbyterian says : The
extraordinary amount of talking that
is done in this country in parliaments,
in municipal councils, in church courts,
at meetings of all kinds, in fact every-
where, has unfortunately produced the
impression that a man can be of no
use if he cannot speak in public,` It
is a most pestilential delusion. Many
of the most useful men, in every walk
of life, are not speakers ; many of the
most useless' are, glib talkers. The
right of free speech is one of the most
valuable we have, but, like many other
blessings; it is terribly abused.
HON. JOHN, N.YRQUAY, ex -Premier of
Manitoba, whose Government was de•

fatty degeneracy of the heart being the
cause. Mr. Norquay was a native of
Maeitoba, being of Scotch and Indian
parents, and since the entry of Mani-
toba into Confederation has been the
most central figure in its public affairs
for nearly fourteen', years. He ,'has
been a member of -Parliament con—
tinuously since its formation. Mr.

Dominion Milers.
The first annual convention of the
,Dominion Millers Association was held
in Toronto on .Tuesday. There were
IS00 delegates present. After organi-
zatiou, J.C. Hay, of Listowel, was ap-
pointed President. A motion was
proposed and adopted providing that
the Government be memorialized to
assimilate the duty on flour with
the United States duty on Canadian
flour, and that all flour imported into
Canada. shall be •inspected by duly
auth'brized flour inspectors at market
The value of flour when inspected
shall he the basis of value on wheat.
Duty shall be collected, and that in
the event of the United 'States being
willing to wipe out the duty on Can.
adieu wheat and manufactured • pro-
ducts thereof, that the duty on Amerr-
can wheat and' products thereof be
dealt with in similar manner. It was
proposed to pledge the members of
the Association to support as Candi•
dates for Parliament only men who
would pledge 'tltemselves . to help to
secure the desires of the association,
but after discussion of considerable
energy and length the proposal was
withdrawn, to come up again at the
next'annual meeting. It was decided
that a special appeal to farmers of
Ontario and Manitoba be issued deal-
ing with the tariff on 'wheat and flour,
the effect of such tariff upon millers,
the taxation paid by Ontario on coal,
lubricating oils, Wigging, mill ina-
chinery, farm implements, etc., and
also that paid upon breadstuffs by the
Lower Provinces,,with a comparison of
the rate by papulation, It was'
decided to forward copies of the
following resolution to all Boards of
Trade and Corn • Exchanges . in On,
tario and i4lanitoba;

Ontario, in convention assembled, do

your great surprise, that it produces
no effect of any sort ; you only taste
it when it begins slowly to diffuse
itself, and reaches the true tasting
region in the middle distance. But if
you put a little cayenne or mustard on
the same part, you will' find that it

tinu.lant. The reason is that the tip of
the tongue is supplied only with nerves
which are really nerves of taste, pro-
per ;
ro-per; they belong to a totally'diflerent
main branch,and they go to a different
centre in the brain, together with the
very similar threads which supply the
nerve of bmell for mustard and pepper.
That is why the smell and taste of
these pungent substances are so much
alike, as everybody must have noticed,
a good sniff at a mustard pot producing
almost the same irritating effects as an
incautious mouthful.
`When one is trying deliberate ex-
periments.on the subject, in order to
test the varying sensitiveness of the
different parts to different substances,
it is necessary to keep the tongue quite
dry in order to isolate the thing you
are experimenting with and. prevent it
spreading. to all parts of the' mouth
together. Ll actual practice this
result is obtained in a rattler ludicrous
manner—by blowing upon the tongue
between 'each experiment with a pair
of bellows. To such seemingly foolish
and undignified experiments does the
pursuit of science lead the modern
psychologist.
