This is averred by the very laignest authority. it is good for rand. It is really- a fertilizer, as it suppliee ie noee and ohloriue, whioh is found in every plant. It is good for ail ceopa. It dis- Moue:ages fungi which infest the most valuable crops, as tust, smuts, etc., and it ilificourages =mote which daraage the roote of plants. It has a remarkable effect upon and clover, at times doubling the wield.

Ido crops hold their own againet weers better than millet or Hungsaian grass, and tespocially the hitter, the frequent =wings benefiting the crop and lessening the num- ber of weeds. As the seeds soon germinate and the plants grow rapidly, especially -during the warm deys, they aeon take fall ponession of the ground and crowd down the weeds. A crop of Hungarian grass will clean a piece of land of weede as well se though cultivation had been given, and after the final mowing, the crop be turned under and a dressing of lime implied to the plowed soil the labor of cal- tivatieg the land the following season will be materially lessened, while the land will befit or almost any kind of crop. A Valuable Sow. A. sow that tenderly cares fax her pigs remora valnable as a breeder than one of better breeding bat oareless. The number of pig,s annually lost by careless sows is 'very large, and it is important to observe tine disposition of a sow with her first bitter. Some sows, however, improve with •age, and an old sow should never be re- placed by a yonneer and untried one until het 'ankh:tees is impaired. The Cara of Manure. If manure is thorongbly composted with makings, sod or other refuse, is will be of better quality than if heaped and allowed to decompose rapidly. There is soraelimes tquite a loos of ammonia from manure that = exposed, or that is too closely packed, and the addition of subeteinces which absorb the gases and prevent overheating mot only prevents loss lent improves the ' etiow to Ciet Good Milk. The milk from cows fed on wholesome grain and good pasturage ia of better guality for food than that from stall -fed animals that are permitted to eat refuse trona granariee and factorise without xegard to breed. Choice breeds to produce s choice article must be provided with food of the best quality for that purpose. Hoe the Melon Patch. Melons should be well hoed and mini - mated until they begin to run. The very woung plants znay be hoed with advantage, hut utter that time all cultivation should be done without disturbing the hills. Melon -growers hoe in front of the vines, at among them, as they soon cover the ,ground, A Bad Plan. Breeding from immathre atm* every year will sooner or later tend to deteriora- tion.

Never put a not eine to the hoof; many good hoof e has been ruined by burning. Never are the irog. Never twiet off the nails; use nippers for cutting them off. Never drive large nails.

Moore good hoofs have been spoiled by hot sheep than in any other way. Burning stops up the pores of the hoof wall and retakes it lerittie and the horse tendee footed. D. E. Asnss. Farm and Oardeu.

It hos long been observed that sheep prefer a bill to a plain on which to apend the night outdoors, but if they graze on hilleine they will invariably olaoose southern expoeure—probably the gran is more palatable to them. The more frequently the grass is out the greater the tax on the land. Use plenty of manure on all land intended for grass next season.

As I write this, I am aware that some estimate colleges just as they would a face. tory. They see only the financial aide. To them a auccessful college is a rich ane; and poor Victoria is in debt. True; but as her debt has been growing there has grown up side by side with it something that wealth could not purchase. To tens of thoneende her name has beoome a household word. An esprit de emps has grown up among thousands that have met in her halls or filleci her chairs. She has become a mond home to tnultitudes of young spirits whose ambition to tread the higher walks of learn. ing was first kindled by the inspiration of her teachings. She may be in debt; but no amount of debt could dim her glory to the hundreds of the brave alumni, vtbo from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and away to remote Japan, and on every continent, have proved the value of her in- struction, and rejoiced to oall her Alma Mater. Her debt may have grown; bat at a far more rapid rate has grown something of irameasurably greater importanoe to the Methodist Church—namely, our famil- iarity with matters of higher education, our status among the sister churches on this subject, and the faith of the young men of our dearth in oar own institutions. To this last I attach spaced importance. It will be a dark day for our church when our sons fancy that a diploma frorn a non. Methodist source is better than our own. The splendid work done by Victoria has given honor to our dearth. Her alumni everywhere look upon her RS the legitimate offspring of our system, a plant watered' by ' the tears and sacri- fices of a generation of men who believed in ,the union of knowledge and vital piety. The name " Patine:list " sits comely an Victoria, and the Methodist Churon is honored wherever Victoria is: known. 1 glory in her record; she has made no all richer; our many straggles to embody in her our ideals of higher educa- tion has given to no inteileotual otainina, taste, ambition and rank, which, but for her, we should never have known. Victoria owes nothing to our Church. She has paid as many times over for all that the has cod. To talk about debt in the light of the heroic support given by our fathers to Victoria, and the magnificent =kens she has made for that undying attachment to her inter - este, name like trifling with ;hinge sacred. If she bag not a dollar towlay she is rich, and our church is rich through her. A few weeke age the whole Dominion, as by a common sigh, laraonted the destruct tion of, 'Toronto University. And our sorrow was reasonable Lula sincere. But no fire could destroy that institution.

CALLIKD DIM AN ORANGLMAN. To Damage Mle Chances of Election, and Ow Pays for It, The Quebee Court of Review rendered an interesting judgment fdaturday in the 010,000 action of damagee taken by J. ,P, Nyee against Le Monde, or: the ground nf libellous articles published during an elec. toral campaign in which Noyes wag a can- didate. The libele consisted of terming him an Orangeman and Freemason. Chief Justioe Sir Freud= Johnson, 43, rendering the judgment hold that the statement of being a Freon:mon brought against the plaintiff was a true and justifiable one. On the other hand, the charge of being an Orangeman was false, and by publishing it the defendants inoarred a direct. liability. The court held, however, that no snin stential damages bad been proved, and the defendant was coneequently liable for nothing more than a violation of the law in publishing a fat= statement. For these reasons the judgment of the Saperior Court granting 0500 damages would be reduced by 0100 witla costs. Make Daughters Practical. We read and hear a great deal about the bnportanoe of ;making homes pleasant and attractive for the sons, so that they tiny spend their evenings at home rather than elsewhere. But we do not hear so much said about the influence of a pleasant home upon the daughters. It may be for the reason than girls are naturally more domes- tio than boys, and so it is taken for granted that no great exertion is necessary by father and mother to make the borne a pleaeant one for themnI think theinfluenoe of a home hag juet as renal and perhaps more to do in shaping the future of the daughters as of the sons, for it is :the who has the most important part to perform in making a home for hereelf after ahe has left the parental roof. Now there is a groat differ- ence in the ideas of whet constitutes a pleasant home. Here, for instances, is a young girl surrounded by all the luxuries and privileges wiaigla money can prooure. She has servants to come tend go at her bidding. She has no oare put upon her y nun; shoulders; she is taught to play, sing, paint and embroider. To be sure, she do= nothing for the pleasure and hap- piness of those around her, but what of that? She ie acoomplished, and is not that enough? • When she is of a suitable age she makes her debut in society. • Then, of course, her time is occupied with all the pleasures which sooiety gives. Thus she grows into womanhood. Is this true womanhood? Is she now prepared to figbt the battles of life and win the victor's crown? If adversity conies to her, as it is liable to come to no all, will she be pre- pared to meet it as she should? Ah, no. lt would have been fax better if ehe had been taught more o1 self-relienoe and self - culture. Put some care upon your daughter. It will do her no harm. It will naake her feel that there is some responsibility resting upon her. Teaoh her that charaoter is higher than intellect and that by practising a little self-denial once in a while ehe will not only make others happy, but will in- crease her own happiness and will become less eeldeh.—Domeatic Monthly. How "Pinafore" Was Written. W. S. Gilbert, the dramatist, writes in the small hours of the morning, beginning work at midnight, and often keeping on until after the sun has risen. Line many literary men his vein of composition will not flow by day, requiring candle light to stir it into activity. In preparing a libretto he goes slowly but surely. Hitting upon one of his characteristic; ideate he tarns it over in his mind during many long walks and solitary cogitations, adding arcane- stenoes and inoictents as they occur to him. Then he makes a rough eleeliaton sketch of the plot, which he puts away. A few weeks later this skeleton is carefully written out in extenso, with such additions and improvements as may have occurred to him meanwhile. This, too, is shelved for a while, but ulti- mately the perfect framework is made, which only needs—if such expression is allowed—the wedding to it of the dialogue and songs. It is at this stage that Sir Arthur Sullivan oomes upon the scene, for the writer ha e to keep the musician's needs in view, and the oomposer must bear the writer in mind. The welting of one of their famous operas entails much labor and endless consultation upon the collabora- tors. Playwright and composer often see the morning come in at the windows while they sit over cigars and cigarettes, discuss- ing with the most anxious care points which to othere might =eon of little mo- ment. Bub it is to this walking industry and care that they owe much of their 8210- cess.—She9leld Telegraph. Dangers of Travel. If one wants to get a lively sense of what it means to teeth through epee at fifty or sixty miles an hoar he must get on a loco- motive. Then only does he begin to realize what trifles stand between him and destruction. A few weeks ago a lady sat an hour in the cab of a locomotive hauling a fast express train over a mountain road. She saw the narraw bright line of the rails and the Wender points.of the wit oh e . She heard the thunder of the bridges, and saw the track shut in by reeky bluffs and new perils suddenly revealed as the engbae swept around sharp curves. The experi- ence was to her magnificent, but the sense of danger was most appalling. To have naade her experience oorapletenhe shouid have taken One engine ride on a dark and rainyinight. In a daylight ride on a locomotive we come to realize how deader is tiae rail and how fragile its fastenings compared with the ponderous machines which they carry, We see what a trilling movement of a eivitch make, tlee difference between life and death, We learn how short the look ahead must often be and how close danger sits on either hand. But it is only in a night ride we learn how dependent the engi. neer must be, after all, upon the faithful vigilance of others. The head -light reveals a few yards of glistening rail and ghostly telegraph polee, and switch targeta. Were a switch open, a rail taken up, or a pile of ties on the track, we ociuld not possibly see the danger in time to stop.—H. G. Erma in Scribner's. Engaged at Sight.

"my mine." GUIs, wait a minute! What ao you think I have been doing for the past year? Why, I have been riding a bicycle. "Well, that's nothing," I hear a hundred voices say, "50 hove we been riding bicycles, and flue fan it is, too." - Now, if you would just give ras breath- ing space, my dear enthusiasts, I would tell you that what 1 was going to say was to those who don't ride and who "don's quite know whether to try it or hoe" Ali 1 thanks—now I will proceed. The idea of riding abicyclenever entered my head notil early last summer; and this was bow it finally got poesaesion of me. I had several young men friends who rode and as they reigned to MO the delightful adventures and exciting incidents of their many little rims, I became suddenly fired with the idea that I too might enjoy these sports, "if I only had a bloyele." li-,"wcWwieer enough to oonstilt the family phylician first, and trembling with im- patience, after boldly stating my project (that of learning to ride at onoe) I awaited his answer. "Certainly—go ahead and ride," he said. "1* will do you good; only remember this, it is not in the use but in the abuse that it will harm yon." At the riding school I learned to manage •the wheel in twO lessons, and in ths. third accomplished the most difficult part, -that of " mounting." next pttrottased "my bike," and then came the fan. I rode over all the good roads, of which we have quite a number, and found that the sight of the shining spokes, the easy saddle and the tbought of the delightful motion (which cornea nearest to flying of anything I Can imagine) would often tempt me out in the fresh air when otherwise I would have spent my time indoors in lazily reading or drawing. Then carne the bracing autumn weather, when 1 woald go spinning along amid the failing leaves, and as 1 whirled over the hard ground, and breathed in the cool air, it sent the blood to the very tips of my fingers and toes, and I felt as though I could scarcely refrain from singing, in sheer eitiberance of epirits "The cares I left behind me." And now oomes spring, gentle, balmy spring, when the air is filled with the odor of apple-bloesome, a dreaminess asals over our senses, and we long fax the sea air, and a lonely spot wherein to indulge in the delightful deice far niente—but no!

It is surprising bow strong a hold the revived taste for °steepen emeralds and opals has taken. It is reported from Lon- don that tho Queen bast ordered from a well-known firm of Bond street jewellere a neoklace of opals and diamonds, the centre stone being an opal of great beauty and size. This is presumably intended as a wed- ding present for the Princess Aline of Hesse. Thistaken with the fact that the Prince of Wales' favorite pin of late has been an opal set round with diamonds should =rely sound the death knell of the old superstition relative to the Onluoky qualities of the opal. And again we read in a sooiety journal that at a recent ball given et Buckingham Palace Lady Ampti hill wore a necklace of catseyes and dia- monds of great veins, the recent gift of her htisband.

'What will probably prove to be a mur- der happened in the Brooker settlement near Windsor on Wednesday zieght. Two farmers, Jones and Speechley, got into an altercation about a cove.
