Two -Rowed Barley in Canada, Prof. Saunders-, of the Dominion .Experi- mental Farm, has prepared his report on the subject o.f two -rowed barley. He says: In the annual report of the experimental farms for IWO reference is made to the im- venation from England by the Government of a large lot of one of the best varieties of two -rowed barley for seed, which was sold • to farmers at less than the cost of importa- tion, in order to thoroughly test the value of this gram in all parts of the Dominion. It is there stated that a shipment of 50 quarters, 400 English bushels, of the bars ley grown from that seed, weighing, about 52 Ws, per bushel, 'led been forwarded to London, England to be malted and brewed. by one of the leadieg brewers there. This barley eonsisted of five or six lots, grown in different parts of Ontario. It was all for- warded to Ottawa, where the barley was thoroeghly cleaned and mixed under my supervision, and the small kernels and as much as possible of the broken grain remov- ed by passing it through a sizer or boby machine, so that the sample was fairly uni- form in character. The following report NWNS received in Oc- tober last by the High Commissioner of Canada, through Mr. A. F. Dale. It con- tains the result of tile brewing of this bar- ley at Bishops Stortford, England, and the process conducted at the brewery of Mr. J. Flinn, report is signed by Mr. Arthur 0. Stapes, of Colchester :-- "In compliance with your request I have pleasure in steting to you my opinion of the sample of malt sent me on the 23rd May last, whielt I understand was made exclu- sively from Canadian barley sent you by the Dominion Governments "From careful examinatiou of this malt, and from information furnished me by brewers well acquainted with the use of Canadian malt in the Dominion, and also froni auggestions made by the well.known brewery expert, Mr. Frank Faulkner, I felt justified in using this malt exelusively with. net any mixture of other malts, I there. fore proved its brewing qualities entirely upon its own merite, and to test it as severe; ly as possible, I brewed a pale ale from it, although I fear the ,eolour is a little higher than I generally get from maltmade from English or European barleys. "The brewing worked easily, and I liked, the handling of the goods in tun aud the way they spent, indiessing from the initial stages the quality cif the malt. Fsich sue- eessave stage followed in proper sequence in exeeedingly good form ; the fermentation was practically perfect, and the condition of the beer at racking as exceedingly goad. The final attenuation also was just as I wished, and as a consequence I think thebrewing operations were thosewell adapt- ed to the malt, and it must hare been of good quality to have giveiisuch satisfaetory results at every stage. "'Tho stability 3. have proved to be ex- ceedingly good, indicatingsounduess of ma- terial. The extract was equivalent to 87 lbs. per quarter; and coupling all the preceding teas with the jadgment I formed of the malt, irrespective of its use, 1 assay its value 35s to 30s per quarter. I may say that had I wished to obtain a greater ex- tract, so as to attain the maximum amount possible, I could readily have increased ib, but I deemed it under the circumstances preferable to secure quality rather than puantity, "The beer after racking haa remained en tirely satisfactory, and the very numerous people whet have tested it have been almost without exception of opinion that it is ex- ceedingly good. " Should yon wish to have fuller and more complete notes of a more technical class, either as to the nature of the water employ- ed in the brewing, and of the malt itself, I shall be happy to place thein at your dis- posal. I assume the Above report is suffi- cient for your present purposes, and I have much pleasure in testifying as a practical brewer to the value that good malt of this class would prove to the brewers who under- stood its use. "Oetober, 1801." This report is highly satisfactory, and shows that good two rowed barley, such as will meet the approval of the English brew- er, can be grown in Canada, and many satrapies, much better in quality and heavier than this shipment, referred to, have been received of late at the Experimental farm from farmers in Ontario, the growth of 1801. Favourable reports as to the yield of the barley have been received. from every hand, and it is the general opinion that the crop of the two -rowed has averaged much better than the six -rowed. Many reports of yields of 40 to 50 bushels per sure have been resolved from different points in On- tario although some of the samples sent in havebeen light in weight and much discol- oured. The buyers in the barley districts in Ontario paid up to the close of naviga- tion from 8 to 12 cents more per bushel for the two -rowed than was offered for the Six - rowel ; but in many instances no care seems to have been taken to grade the purchases, but light and heavy, bright and discoloured lots, were all mixed together, making a very uneven sample. Much broken grain was also found in some lots. The returns received for some of the shipments are said to have been very unsatisfactory, having resulted in loss to the shippers. This dis- appointment, however, is clearly traceable to want of care in threshing, cleaning, and grading the grain. The fault lies partly with the farmer W110 must exercise more care in handling this crop if it is to bring him its full value. In a letter written by a practical Canadian maltster who recently visited England in connection With the bar- ley business of his firm, he says, when re- ferring to the disappointing sales :-" Ship- pers have not kept faith with the brokers or purchasers as to quality, the bulk was not equal to the sample. • Again, "A11 brew- ers who saw the Governnient farm samples at the brewers' exhibition were charmed with them, and millions could have been sold, but the general crop did not equal the samples. I may say that unless the Cana. dian barley can be threshed so as to avoid the large proportion of half and broken grains, which cause excessive moulds on the floors the trade won't 'materialize, All Engli'sh =fasters agree on this point." This gentleman speaks quite hopefully of the Canadian six -rowed barleyfor the Eng- lish market, and says it is beginning to find favour with several maltsters who, have tried it. Other Canadian dealers speak more hope- fully of the two -rowed barley trade. One says: "The two -rowed barley we have handled this season, grown from English seed, has given us the best of satisfaction, and I believe that all that bas gone for- ward to the Old Country would have done likewise had it not been badly mixed." Another buyer who visited England in connection with his barley business 'writes: "In November sales were made in Groat Britain by sample to arrive of both two - rowed and six -rowed. The former was received with much favour by maltsters the latter did not attract much attention. I am not, however, surprised that the de - mend for export has fallen off, for many sales were filled with shipments quite infer- ior to the sample ; the result was disappoint- ment and resentment on the part of the receivers." He says, further : 'It is a mis- take to suppose that the English maltster does not require colour ; he does, and the bright sample will in every ease take the market there, as in the United States. I desire to impress strongly on farmers the necessity of growing from pure seed, mad in harvesting and threshiug to oerefully avoid 'nixing. I found a very kindly feeling ex- pressed towards Canada, and a marked de- sire to trede with her. I am conviuced that if we can grow as good uarley as we have done this year, and if it is kept pure, we will work into s good. trade with. the English maltsters." Enough has,. I think, been said. to show that if the Canadian farmer will exercise the requisite care in the cultivation of this grain, also in threshing and cleaning it for the market, avoiding all mixing; and if the shipper will see that the bulk of the grain he sends is equal to the samples forwarded, there seems no reason to doubt that a setts - factory trade in two -rowed barley can be established. The maltster in Great Britain is willing to pay a good price for a first-olass article. ....•••••••••.••••••• Potato Trendhes. Quite a revolution was effected by the sys- tem of growingpotatoes by the trench meth- od says the Philadelphia Record, for when experiments showed. that a grower could produce over 128 bushels of potatoes on oue- caohth of an acre, or at the rate of more than 1;000 bushels on an acre, as was done by Mr, A, Rose, of Pen Yen, N, Y., the new system at oace attracted atteution, for Mr. Rose also secured over 500 bushels of pota. toes on a full measured acre of ground. It is not yet =ceded that the trench system is superior to the weal plot culture,' but as the potato season is nearly here it is not out ofplace to state what the trench system is, in order that those who so pre- fer may make experiments in that dire°• tion, the coining season, on a plot or two. The laud is plowed a. foot deep and opened eight inches. The seed is then planted and the trenches left open, the dirt being filled in as the plant grows, the claim being made that, by thus gradually filling in as growth is made, the potatoes produce more tubers, as is ell as larger size and better quality, on account of having more room aud a better soil ; and when the trench is filled to the top the rows are level, and the usual level cultivation is given, though some prefer to hill up the rows, believing that, by act doing, inore moisture is retained in the soil. The usual mode of growing potatoes is to plant the seed from four to six inches deep but, as the trench system calls for nine Inches of depth and of the width of a heavy plow fur- row to as much as three feet, if preferred, tuber -bearing stems issue from different planer, making several tiers of tubers, fair- ly separated from each other, instead of be- ing crowded. The use of choice varieties, and the cut- ting of the seed judiciously, is well under- stood by all potato growers, and as the trench system is very simple, there is but little to learn other thee the fact of enor. mous yields, but in order to secure the large crops the ground if liberally supplied with a fertilizer composed of about six per cent, zumnonia, twelve per cent, phosphoric acid, anti eight per cent. potash, As much as eight hundred and eighty pounds of fertiliz- ers per acre have been need, which was sown in the bottom of the trenches and well in. corporated with the soil, the seed pieces be- ing placed on this one foot; apart in the trenches. Hornless Cattle. In the removal of horns as of many other undesirable things prevention is better than cure. Whether deltoruiug is injurious or not it must be painful aed a shoek to the animal, and the operation in its preparation and execution is one of no little trouble. 11Tould it not be better to breed the borne off? A bull of the Red Polled English breed crossed upon any of the horned breeds is so prepotent that the horns disappear with the first cross almost invariably and the Devon red color appears. These cattle have been bred in Norfolk and Suffolk counties England for over 100 years. The first authentic importation was by G. F. Taber of Pawling, N. Y., in the fall of 1873, and now they are distributed in most all the states of the Union. They are very numerous and deservedly popular, in the Western States and on the great ranches. All of the beneficial results of no horns usnally noticed beside many others apply to this breed. They are hardy and excellent both for the dairy and for beef, and 121s safe to say are the best all round cattle known. They are peculiarly suited to the climate, pasturage and needs of the New England states, and yet from the last herd book there appears to be but three proprietors of very small herds in all of that section. -(G. K. Taber, in Our Grange Homes. -- Keen the Cow Content 33. M. T. writes from Vermont : "1 find in my own experience that there is a, close connection between the cow's nerves and udder. So that the question is not merely a sentimental affair related to kindness and sympathy, but it pertains to the pocket book. 1 have been surprised, since owning Belmock milk tester, to see the tangible proof of this fact. The slightest disturb- ance of the cow's equanimity has its effect on the milk pail. A blosv from a careless man, the chasing of dogs, an uncomfortable storm or any disturbing influence means a loss. The more comfortable, serene, con- tented and quiet the cow is the better will she pay. Some have foundthat the Bab- cock tester will show a decrease in quality from no more of a cause than an unfamiliar milker, even though he be kind and gentle. Selfishness as well as kindly motives de- mands the most scrupulous kindliness and gentle care of the milch cow. The blow., the harsh word, the neglect in feeding have their influence in preveuting the farm from giving a due measure to pro- fit. So true is this that the increased g wet- ness of the OONY at night is considered the reason why morning's milk is often richer than night's mill," Nothing to Crow About: • , Little Arthur was visiting his grend= mother, seno owned -a large rooster that was, possessed of fighting qualities. Arthur went out to feed the chickens, when the rooster flew at him, pecking him severely. Arthur beat him off as well as he could and finally got away and ran to the house. Some time later he was playing on the porch, when all at once the rooster flew upon an adjoining fence and crowed lustily. Arthur looked up and exclaimed: " Yon lie, you lio ; you didn't lick me 1 I run ned I" 'I on must grow in the love of God by means of the root rather than the branches. NAVAL AND, FaLITA13.Y., Genera/ Ler:relifaioebs—etrT,at • ssoitiGierle.. The elevation to the peerage of His Excel- lency, General Sir Fredevick Sleigh Roberts, Bart. G. C. B., V', 0„ which was announced as one of the "New Year honors," and has just now been completed by the introduc- tion of the new peer,has been delayed for many years throughthe influenee of General Viscount •Wolseley, who has lOng been notoriously jeelous of his junior. General Roberts is by a year an olcler inan than ids rival, Lord Wolseley, He was born in Waterford, Ireland, Sept. 30, 1832, the second son of SirAbraham Roberts, a general officer of distinction. His elder brother is a major general on the retired list. Frederick Sleigh Roberts was educated et Eaton and at Sandhurst, and he departed from the latter place to become a lieutenant in the Bengal Artillery in 1851. In 1858, during the mutiny, he won the Victoria Cross for valor by recapturing from several sepoys a British flag, and he distinguished hitneelf on several occasiens during these clerk days. In 1860 he was promoted cap. tain, and in 1863 got an Indian medal for bravery in some of the numerous skirmishes with the hill men, In 1868 he went as As- sistant Quartermaster General with General Napier to Abyssinia • Napier returned with a peerage, and. Roberts increased his collec- tion of medals, In 1872 no obtained a. C. 13. for bravery in the Looshai campaign in India. Ile was promoted Major and Colonel soon afterward, and in 1378 was Quarter- master General, with the rank of Major General, on the staff of the Commander-in- chief in India. In that year the Afghan war broke out, and soon thereafter General Roberts was created K. C. B., it promotion conferring knighthood. IsTe went to the front during that war, and led the force which recaptur- ed Cabal after the murder of Sir Louis Cavagnari, the British resident in that city, Sept. 3, 1879. He defeated the Afghans on Opt. 6, and entered the eity on the 12th of that month. He was made Companion of the.Order of the Indian Empire for this ser- vice, and was placed eta commandof the city then, holding it for upward of a. year, la July, 1880, Ayoob Khan, pretender to She Afghan throne, defeated a British army under General Burrows, and drove the sur- vivors into Candahar, which place he pro- ceeded leisurely to invest. Roberts gathered about 10,000 men and departed from Cabal early in August, leaving Oabul to be Oecu- pied by Abdurrahrnan, Khan, whom the British supported. Fer three weeks teething was heard. Of him, and it was thought that be had been out off as so many other British soldiers had been by the Afghans. But on Sept. 1 Roberts appeared suddenly in front of Candahar, to Ayoob's great surprise. On Sept, 3 he attacked Ayoob Khan, end de. feated him completely, capturing thirty-two guns and. relieving taeneral Burrows in his distressed condition. That march to Can- dahar bas made Roberts famous; to it he owes in it large measure his peerage, and from it one ot his peerage titles is derived. The march, though les :important, is a parallel to Sherman's and like that owed its success to the skill of the eoinm nder. A soldier in General Roberts' flying force gives a brief account of the marck and the battle in a letter dated Sept. 6, 1880: NVe left Cabul on Aug. 9 between 10,- 000 and 11,000 strong, picking up the gar. rison of Shirpore, which was in rather an isolated position, eighty-five miles from Candahar and 300 from Cabitl ; alt the troops in it were 165 infantry, two guns, and one Mooch° regiment on whom they could not depend, as they kept deserting in ones and twos every day. We entered Cabul on Aug. 31, and were re- ceived with cheers from the fort all the troops came out to receive us and they gave us a bit of breakfast. Half of my brigade was sent with two guns to try and turn on the water, which he (Ayoob) had cut off. When they Saw us hard at work they kept up a brisk fire, but without doing any dam- age. They kept up firing all night, and 'at daybreak next morning opened the ball by firing into the first brtgade camp. About 7 a. in. it small party, of which 1 was one, was sent to occupy a hill in front of the enemy's rights and for two hours we were exposed to as nice a shelling as any one • could wish for, but without any damage to ourselves; the Afghans did not understarid the boring of the fuses they took from our people.Aout 9 Roberts made his appearance and found us in battle order, the first bri- gade on the right, the second. on the left, and ours in the rear to form the support. After a short half an hour we got the order to advance, and marched straight to the hill; and such a sight as I saw Mope never to see again -dead Afghans lying abodat in all directions, burning, their clothing set on fire by some Goorkhas or Sikhs. The Gen- eral passed us at this time aud. sang out to our Brigadier (MeGregor), shall be in camp by 1 ;' and be was there by 1230. Our follows were grumbling at the way we were kept in the background ; but I .be- . • lieve the General said that as our brigade had very hard work for the last six months in and around Ghazin, and that we had to fight eight or nine hours the night before, lie would place us in reserve, and I think the major part of us were not sorry. The number of guns taken up to the present time is 31, the number of killed and wound- ed 276, my regiment only two wounded. What the enemy's loss is 1 do not know. but it must be severe." Roberts was created G. C. B. and a baronet, for this feat, and was appointed to the com- mand of the army in Madras. On Feb. 28, 1881, he was sent to South Africa to push the campaign there to an end after the death of General Colley. Peace was made before he reached his post, so be returned to Madras. There he remained until 1885 .when be was appointed Commander-iinchief inIndia, the highest independent °eminent' in the British service, responsible practically only to Par- liament. In 1886 he completed the conquest of Burmah, for Willa the Earl of Dufferin, Viceroy of India, was made a marquis. Robert's great kohl on the army lies in his care for his men. He is a strict and knows when to spare 'neither man nor beast; yet he always works hard- er than any, of his men, and in the march to Cendahar shared the soldier's food, and frequently spent twenty hours at a stretch in the saddles, To him more than to any one elseis due the improvements in the condi- tion of the enlisted man in the British service. A Popular Admiral. Last winter, as was duly chronicled in the dispatches at that time, Sir Provo 1:117, Parry warns, admiral of the British fleet, died at the age of 100 years. This caused a good many changes among the admirals, among others the recall of Vice -Admiral Sir George Willes Watson from the aer- muda station, where he had been for the past Six years. ' The flagship of the fleet at Bermuda was the Bellerophon, an old style, graceful yes. sel that had seen service in the Crimea, and is known throughout the world as the " Bully Ruffian." In his six years' sojourn Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoriai AabdomaridrathWe "BullyatsonlaatB d saeifoxetrrind elea- ly popular: He hut got about him e staff as jolly as himself,. and the jollity of the officers seeined to have communicated itself to the men, so that in the whole senadrom and in the forts and in the lintels and cot- tages, where the guests front all the coun. Uwe in the world were enjoying Bermuda's wonderful climate, Admire" Watson and hie officers and bis crew were regarded as the jolliest, most agreeable people on the face of the sea. As for the admiral hiinself, with his hoarse voice and his 64 yeses,. that Seemed te, have been 'all summers, he was, • in the language of the women, "the dearest Man in the world." So when the news that old Sir Provo Wallis was dead and that Admiral Watson and the Bellerophon ar d its jolly crew would have to leave was spread abroad in the bar- ber and on land there was lamentation everywhere, and when the day came for the Bellerephon to take her departure there w t et .preparations to give Admiral 'Watson a rousing farewell. The yards and rigging of all the eighteen vessels. were manned until they seemed. to be made of human beings, shoulder to shout - der and one above another. The officers were on deck in full uniform, and over at the fortifications the soldiers were on parade. As the Bellerophon weighed, anchor and set out on her long voyage the war vessels be- gan to salute and the big guns of the fortifi- cations sounded melancholy and echoing expressions of esteem and regret. n i The Bellerophowas finally n themidst of the seventeen vessels she had. consorted with so long, and was never to see again. signal, cheered as All the sailors inherlienurinigigicy, a d floated out over the seeter. Thtehtne,a asttvtiheldne rising of the flag, the thousands of sailors in the rigging of the seveneeen vessels answer- ed this cheer as though the thousand throats were one. Handkerchiefs, caps, hands were waved, and from the shore came the Sutter. ing of smaller handkerchiefs and smaller hands and gay sunshades. And the officers used the handkerchiefs in quite another way as thiy saw the " old man " on the deck of his old flagship, turning away his head and shutting his oyes from "the d—d, dazzle" of the sun for a moment. The Bellerophon was soon out at sea, and then a graceful outline against the horizon, and then a speck, and then only known by the cloud of smoke which was soon dissi- pated. As may be imagined, nobody was particu- larly glad to see tho new admiral, who, of course, could not take the place left ao ter- ribly vacant. Re was to wine in the 131ake, it battle ship, the largest and newest aud Swiftest and finest in the whole Davy. One day they saw a cloud of smoke on the hori- zon, and then, with strong glasses, they made out a low-lying, long, mastless, un- gainly looking craft, ninth like a, shaven and shorn bulldog. 'There was nothing graceful about this new flagship, nothing of the easy, jolly way the Bellerophon sat in the water. The Blake was built for business, and very ugly business at that, and as it came nearer theysaw through the holes in the sides long, vimemolooking guns, quite different from those of the old Bellerophon. Of Norse the new admiral must be re- ceived with all formality. So the guns were got ready on the seventeen vessels in the harbor and the soldiers lined up on the fortifications. Presently the big guns on the great masonry 'were booming away, it little gloomily, it little crossly, and not at all jollily, while the smaller guns on the war ships were cracking also. As the Blake came up a big collar of smoke rolled away from her side, and then it long, bright flash, keener than tho bright sunlight flash- ing on the waves, and than those on sea and shore heard the roar of the gun -sour, hoerse, ugly, a growl of surly warning,as it seemed, that the days of a jolly admiral and a lolly crew on a jolly flagship were over. The bulldog had drawn back his lip Mid had shown his teeth. THE GREAT VICTORIA. FALLS. Among the Grandest in the Vor1d, Though Very Little Can Be Seen of Them Livingstone was the first to describe to us the great falls of the upper Zambesi River, which he called the Victoria Falls. These falls are among the greatest in the world. The most renent visitor to -them is Mr. Decle, a. French explorer, who is now carrying out ethnological investigations in the Upper Zambesi region. He has made some remarks about these fails which give us a different impression of them from that commonly held. He says that all his predecessors have spoken so enthusiastically of the falls that he hardly dares to express his own opinion. "1 will content myself," he adds, " by -saying that they would be very grand if one could only seethem. The great river, about a mile wide at this jalaces suddenly con- tracts and disappears, apparently into the bowels of the earth, falling from a height which I estimate at about 400 feet, into a gozge which is about 500 feet wide. .The water dashes itself with such violence to the bottom of this gorge that much of it re- bounds high in the air,and a column of spray and vapor re -:tea at least 300 feet above the level of the river. Ore can see this column plainly marking the location- of the falls, seven miles away, and their roar can be heard for several miles. I could find no position where I could see the bottom of the gorge, and there was only a single place where it was possible for me to site as much as 600 feet in width of the falls at one time. It is impossible to compare the Vie- toria Falls with those of Niagara. The latter arevery grand and the former are terrific, but more on account of what; we imagine than because of what we can see. Canadian Cattle Trade. An Ottawa despatch say a :.-The pros pacts for the Canadian cattle trade this season are brightening. Recent advices from England shove that the merket there is decidedly healthier in tone than it has been for some time.
