The Wingham Times, 1889-07-19, Page 2a. . FIUDAY, JULY 19, 18f?0. '4WinOamtYmes 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, EDITORIAL NOTES. • •T e" British Columbia Bottrd of Tftade, at 'its annual meeting, intelli• gently discusses the question of Reci- procity, and urges strong reasons for its adoption in the development of the vast resources of the province-- fish„ rovince ..fust,. lumber and coal.

WHEN the annual meeting of the deputies of the Presbyterian Inc>iepend•. ent and Baptist denominations con- vened in Loudon the committee ex- pressed the hope that Gladstone Trill both speak and vote in favor of Cameron's motion in the House of Commonsin favor of the disestab- lishment of the church in Scotland. SPEAKIxa of quiet and unQItents. tions methods of accofnpliahing good, 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• feated only'' year or so ago; died sud- denly at his residence, the other day, 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. Norquay was 47: years of age. He had his life insured for $14,000,whicb is about all the family will have for their support. He was a Conservative in polities. tenantry. He thanks them oordiall for their kindness but says these a° Hew Ws Taste. Strictly speaking, with the tip of the tongue one can't really taste et all, If you put a sma11 drop of honey or 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; Be it resolved,that iie,the millers of Ontario, in convention assembled, do urge upon members of your Board to take such action . as will assist us in obtaining justice, Wfat: sou nwrsi with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint?

Yilllaws. 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 bites you immediately—the experi- ment. 'should be tried sparingly—while if you put it lower down in the mouth you will swallow it almost without noticing the pungency of the stimu- lant. 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. CATARRH, Catarrhal • Deafness, Hay Fever. A NEW IIOME TREATMENT.
