NOTES,
Increase the ventilation of your stables as
the weather grows milder.
Straw alone is a poor food, but mixed
with cotton or linseed cake, wheat bran and
oats and clover hay it makes'excellent food.
Buttermilk may be safely fed to sows
with pigs, but itis beat to begin feeding a
small quantity and gradually increase the
amount.
Weeds will spring up as early as vegeta-
bles, and a watch must be kept for them.
The best time to destroy them is when theyl
first appear.
An experienced breeder of swine says that
oftenwhen hogs are sluggish and indifferent
about eating, nothing in the world ails them
but toothache.
Soot water is a good and easily made fer-
tilizer for hot plants. It benefits all kinds
of plants and clears the soil of worms. Be-
gin using it moderately.
In laying out your work for the season
give the garden a liberal share of attention.
It may not be labor which will bring great
returns in money, but it is certain to do so
ln,family health and comfort.
Professor Whiteher says that a ton of or-
dinary manure contains only about twenty
per cent. of fertilizing material, the remain-
ing eighty per cent. being water. If that is
correct, dry manure would be all fertilizing
material, which would place it ahead of su-
perphosphate.
Two dollars a ton is about the price paid
by the sugar mills in Kansas for sorghum
cane delivered. The price seems to us very
low. The farmer saves the seed, however,
which adds to the profits. Sorghum seed is
a very rich stock food, but ought to be
ground before being fed.
The bright spring days will cause the
young pigs to grow rapidly. Turn them on
grass as soon as they are ten weeks old, but
gradually at first, or they may have the
scours. It will cost but very little to raise
a few pigs if they be given the privileges of
a email grass plot and fedtwice a day.

Death pi' AetorsOn the Stale in
Hying Scene:
The death of the actor Frederick Baker on
the stageat Melbourne has made a great
sensation in that city. The fact that he
was playieg the part of Mephistopheles in
"Faust" no doubt heightened the melo-
dramatic effect of it on the b€holders, and
it was also probably the first time a 'siniiler
catastrophe has taken place in Australia.
Death on the stage, however, is not a very
uncommon occurrence and when we consider
the higbly.wrought condition of nit aeter°a

eceepatioe, it seems strange that: it should
not be nitore frequent. How teeny of ne,

there does notseem ranch to clmoso between

us the exact ratio of our expresses to time

all run at a high rate, but since the accele-

trains carry off the palm. They run at an
average of 48 miles an hour for, the whole
journey, including stoppages and the exceed-
ingly heavy bank at Penistone. The bit be-
tween Grantham and London is done at the
rate of about 54 .miles an hour. These
achievements, however,, are very closely ap-
proached by the other great lines. France
and Germany follow with an average of
about 36 miles an hour. Holland, Belgium
andAustria-Hungary follow with33miles an

and Switzerland with 22 miles, and Port-

miles an hour.—London Daily News.
Mobbing an Executioner.
The office of public executioner at Vienna
is not a very desirable position. A few days
since this official, accompanied by two anis
tants, went to Trieste to polish off some poor
wretch who was under sentence of death.
While sipping beer in a brasrerie they were
recognized, and the place was immediately
turned into a battlefield. They were mobbed
and narrowly escaped with their lives to the
nearest police station. The proprietor of the
brasserie then broke the glasses out of which
they hadbeendrinking, and after chopping up
the chairs upon which they had been sitting
he made a bonfire of them in the street.
The principal barber in Trieste was obliged
to publish a card in all the local newspapers
denying a rumor that the executioner had
been shaved in his shop, as in consequence of
the story getting abroad every one of his
customers refused to continue their patron-
age.

eauutry school education, and at 14 years
old it was neces:tary that leo should add his
mite to the fancily income. He was a clerk
in a country store for ;50 a year, but hie

street in this city. A frieud then offered to
send him to college, lout he prtfcrred 'be-
gin the study of law directly. Iiia uncle,
1., F. Mien, of Buffalo, helped him to enter
the office of Rogers R Bowen, of Buffalo,
where he remained until 1863. That hie
prosperity bad already begun, and that,
without wealth, he lacked for nothing, suit.

Grover Cleveland's first office was that of
Assistant District Attorney for Erie County
for three years from 1853. He was nominat.
ed for DistrictAttorney, but was defeated by
Lyman K. Baas. He declined the offer of an
Assistant United States District Attorney
/ship, and in 1870 was elected sheriff; He
wanted the income of an office to increase
his means, and its leisure for study. He
realized his expectations in these respects,
and, instead of: becoming a commonplace
sheriff, be developed into a thriving coun-
sellor at -law. Thus in 18S1 he was equal to
accepting his party's nomination for mayor,
and he was elected by the largest majority
ever known in the history of Buffalo. Be
at once put inpractiee aprinciple phrased at
a later period, viz. ;—" That public office is
a trust," and that public affairs should be
administered on the principle of private
business. His mayoralty attracted attention
and approval beyond the bounds of Buffalo,
and thus he ran for Governor in 1852, and
was elected by a plurality of 102,554. In
this conspicuous office he maintained his
repute for modest efficiency, honesty and
independence, conducting himself with a
sole regard for the public good, careless of
the effect upon his personal fortunes. Hie
phenomenal majority and his evident capa-
city for high office commanded for him the
nomination for President in 1884. Since
then his life has been before the eye of the
nation, and needs no rehearsal, now that his
norainination repeats the verdict of approval
which has followed him in every relation of
life.—[N. Y. Times.
A very noticeable feature of the industrial
situation is that not only Canada, but all
America, is almost free from strikes ; cer-
tainly there are none of any magnitude.
It is several years since things have been
so perfectly quiet in this respect, and one is
puzzled to know whether the situation is
really Normal, or whether it is only the
lull that precedes another storm. We are
inclined to believe that the present genera-
tion of mechanics and workingmen have
learned that in the end more money is lost
by strikes than is ever gained, and that the
situation is the result of a revival .of com-
mon sense.

Unjustifiable Extravagance.
About the middle of George II.'s reign
an Act was passed fixing a scale of fines for
swearing regulated by the station of the of-
fender. aChus a gentleman was charged five
shillings; folks of respectability, but net
reckoned 'gentry, two shillings; while sol-
diers, sailors and day labourers were let off
with a shilling an oath. A second convic-
tion entailed a doubling of the penalty; a
third, p treble fine, or ten day's hard, labour.
We find three instances of conviction noted
in the Gentleman's Magazine -in one case a
woman being sent to Bridewell for one'pro-
fane oath; in another a countryman being
made to pay thirty-two shillings for sixteen
oaths; while in the last, the offender, who
was a tradesman and evidently a very tad.
man; was convicted of the flagrant offence.

by indulging in three hundred and ninety
oaths, and in default he hadtopay inperson
and so was lodged in prison.
