And certainly on my en- trance into the state -room, the gee pant's rueful countenance, fram- ed in a huge red nightcap, contem- plating a swathed foot with an ex- pression xpression of malignant hatred, form- ed a typical picture of the "gouty subject" calculated to provoke a smile. :But at that paint amusement ended for xne, once for all, for the rest of the cruise, and if I laughed during the next fortnight, God ]snows it must have been forced laughter.

Considering- Zavertal's past record, the find led me to wonder whether Lord Darrantuore's fainting -fit had an artificial origin." "But the boy didn't die, and the doctor, worked hard on both occa- tions to bring hull round. That wasn't the act of a poisoner," I remarked. "My dear . Captain Forrester, .

Blairsdenn, when com- pleted, will be one of the show places of America. The laying out of the parks and drives alone is said to have exceeded $5,000,000. The fir grove will be by far the finest he New Jersey. Itis due to the genius of Mr. John A. Wilkins, of Indianapolis, that big - tree transplanting' has become such a success in America. Mr. Wilkin's device is unique and simple. Pre- paratory to removing the tree the lower part is encased in a steel grid about SIX FEET IN DIAMETER. To . this • are hinged some, fourteen curved shovels of 516 inch plow steel. These shovels are driven into the ground, their edges meeting un- der n der the roots. '.Ellen with bars across the hinges the operators se- cure them to the grating and the tree is encased in its steel basket. Then comes the work of lifting the tree from its bed, A combination of wagon and machinery, which Mr. Wilkins calls the tranwvorter, is ad- justed about the tree, aed the whole thing is lifted out by the -cross bars. When the tree reaches its destina- tion it is let gently down into the hole prepared for it. The machinery is removed without loss of any of the earth, and the roots are left in- tact. During last year forty one -hundred- year-old oaks fn ,full Ieaf were car- ried a distance of thirty miles in Mr. Wilkin's transporter, and so little did they feel their journey that their leaves remained .on ' the branches rather longer than usual.

Ile says :-"Soda and soap, en washing powders, are almost as •dan- gerous, and, in fact, alkalies in gen- eral. These are employed very ex- tensively xtensively in largo establishments for cleaning and washing up. These solations find their way to the swill - tub and hog tub, and with very grave results, for I have seen on one occasion 20 pigs dead at one place from salt poisoning, and on another three fine sows dead, and another i11 from drinking soapsuds from a drain. For many years I have lived in a large pig -breeding district, and in the course of my duties as veterinary inspector, cases of salt and soda poisoning among pigs are very frequently seen.. There. is no doubt but that many cases that • were _said to be swine fever years ago' were due to this*cause, for the symptoms as also post-mor- tem ost mor- tem appearance simulate that dis- ease to a great extent." There is nothing new in this pronouncement ; it. is the experience .of a great many veterinary sargeons called upon to inspect or treat diseased pigs, and is confirmative of much, that has from time to time appeared in these columns on the subject.' But we have "Old Readers" who forget, "New ,Readers" who actually ad- mit .the fact, and "Novices" in pig - keeping and feeding, and to these this authorativo condemnation of salt for pigs may be both new and' useful. No one pretends ' that .a min- ute quantity of salt will lay the pig out dead in a few minutes, or carry with it any serious -risk of cutan- eous or intestinal disease which may be mistaken for the symptoms of swine fever, but salt is neither ne- cessary nor beneficial to pigs, and there seems no reason whatever for giving any,. About the danger of any quantity of salt, and that it is poisonous to pigs in quantities that would be innocuous or beneficial to other animals, there are on record' too many authentic cases of pigsbe- ings killed by salt to permit of this being: entertained for a moment.

TILE TORONTO NEWS SAYS: "The Meow -Harris Company riot only occupies a foremost plate among Canadian manufacturing houses, but the amount of capital invested in the business, the number tog men which 11 employs. and it* vast operations, entitle it to a place among the great industrial conceals of the continent. Outside of the United States, where the high tariff makes it practically impossible :tor a foreign company to do business, the Massey-Tiauris binders and mow- ers are known and appreciated wherever agriculture is Carried oa under modern conditions. The come pany has had, and has yet, many keen rivals, even for the trade of the Dominion, and it is entirely owing i to the merit of the implements which. < it turns out that it has been able to build up the world-wide trade which it now possesses. The heads of the Company are among the most experienced and enterprising business men in the Dominion, and the suc- cess which has attended it ever since its establishment is, no doubt, largely owing to the fact that they - have always been on the alert for improvements, and have never rest- ed satisfied with their agricultural machines, no 'matter how well they might work, While there remained any chance of increasing their effici- ency. Those who remember the old factory in which the company con- ducted its business for a number of years, have only to look at the im- mense workshops of to -flay, cover- ing acre after acre of ground on Icing street west,- to realize' the en- ormous: development of this buss - gess. But, besides the Toronto fac- tory, there is one in Brantford as well, and the two employ nearly twenty-five hundred men. It will be readily seen that the output of ..so. -much: labor must be enornhous, es- pecially when the fact is' taken into ;consideration" that the machinery used in the manufactory is of the very highest grade,. and that ' every time -saving and labor-saving invene tion which tends to cheapen or hese ten production is employed. In Australia and South Africa the Mas- sey -Harris binders are nearly as well k3nown as in Canada, and the an - ritual increase in the trade with those ,colonies shows, conclusively that they are making their way into general • favor.. The Massey -Harris inipie- ments have played no. . inconsidera- able,.. part in building up Manitoba .and the . Northwest, and have done magnificent service out there in lightening the labor of the pioneer and softening the hardship which • must necessarily:, be feared by those ,taking up homes' in a new _and' un- )ettldd ,coti,ntry."
