Poultry should heve a certain proportion a oat in their food as well as animals, as it is neeessery to the promotion of health and thrift. Fresh -made butter, with dainty flavor, rauet always be sold hi preference to e but- *. Made three months befove it is pet on the market. A little loose sand thrown over these beets in the corner will prevent that shrivel- ed appearance they now hey& Of ours° you have a good supply of sand on hind for this purpose, Have you looked over the fruit and vege- tables to e if they are rotting? We know the sage q f uestion was asked before, but we propoee to keep on asking it and save those vegetal), s and fruita if possible. Young stock, once allowed to run down, never fully recover from the °fleets thereof, Of inferior feed and lice the first generally brings the second. Poor feeding is scandal- ous ; vermin added, it is brutal. Make drains, and thus allow the water to run off as fast as the snow melts, in order to avoid slush and dampness in the barnyard; but be careful not to allow of any esoape of the liquid matter from the manure heap. Use some kind of absorbent and save it. Of the different roots, potatoes are the most liable to injury by freezing ; beets next, and carrots still less, partly because carrots usually grow most of their roots beneath the =dace. Parsnips can be left in the ground all winter, and are rather better for some freezing. GATE WITHOUT HINGES.—A gate can be made without hinges by having the hanging stile somewhat louger than the front style, and making both ends rounded. The lower one is to work in a hole in the end of a short post raised so that soil will not readily get in, and the upper one works in a hole made in an oak piece attached to the top of the gate -post. Gates of this kind can be made and hung with but little more expense than bars, and will be found far more con- venient and saving of time thau the latter. SUGAR.—While European governments are paying bounties for the production of beet sugar, we are cutting off our maple groves. Don't do it. Maple sugar and syrup will bring fair prices—not for use as every -day sugar, but as luxuries. Let us have all you can make'and let it be pure and full of the maple flavor. Sorghum is excelling beets in this country. With the best varieties and apparatus, every farmer can make edger and syrup a prefitable farm crop, even at present prices. The seed is valuable, and the stalks, after the juice is pressed out, are better than corn fodder for ensilage. NEW BINDS OF LIVE Srocx.—The demand for heavy work horses is such that the farmers naayas well consider if it will not pay him to 4work with heavy mares that shall bree for him every year a big Perch- eron or English Shire foal that can be brok- en to light farm work at two years old,and sold at four. Then there are the Holland cows, and Guernseys, and Polland breeds, and the beef -making Herefords, each claim- ing pre-eminence in their ways. Yorkshire pigs, mutton sheep. Wyandotte fowls, etc., all possess merits which it is the progressive farmer's duty to investigate, and, so far as his means go, to choose between the old and the new. NEOESS Y FOR DRAINAGE.—Wet lands should b drained because we cannot un- lock the fe Ay of the soil unless air takes the place of the the water, says Prof. Scott. in the, Agricultural Gazette. We drain to let water into the soil, as much as to take it out—not merely to carry off the sarplus water, but to make the fertilising rain filter through the soil. Amongst other effects, draining improves the texture of soil by making it porous, drier, looser, and more friable; it nutkes land more asily worked; it raises temperature of the soil; it enables a greater variety of crops to be grown; it gives an earlier seed -time and an earlier harvest; and it makes manure more effectual. And even this does not exhaust the practi- cal advantages of draining wet lands. THE FEEDING OF CATTLE.—Prof. Wallace (Professor of Agriculture, University of Ed- inburgh,) in a lecture on "Cattle Feeding," says: "As to early maturity, I am not one of those who believe that all cattle should be finished and killed before they are two years old. In a 'bad or awkward climate, and where inferior torage is produced, I think it would pay to keep cattle longer, not only the climate and the nature of the forage being against the fattening powers of the animal, but the tendency to early maturity ing.

The improvements last season cost upwards of $15,000. Another terrible railway disaster occurred the other morning near Boston on the Ded- ham branch of the Beton and Providence railway. Five cars full of passengers fell through a bridge to the road thirty feet be- low, all the occupants being killed or badly injured. Twenty-seven of the bodies have been identified, and five others are lying st the morgue. About fifty were injured of whom several will die. The Minister ot Agriculture nas received a letter from Col. Ravenhill, of the Royal Artillery, stating that Col. Goldie, Assistant Adjutant -General at Halifax, has been ap- pointed by the British Government to pur- chase horses in Canada for the Imperial army for a term of years. About 150 horses from Ontario and the older provinces and the same number from the ranches in the North-West and British Columbia will be required annually. A young gentleman of Howe Island, while chopping firewood the day before his wed- ding was to take place, inflicted an ugly gash six inches long in his right foot. Me- dical assistance was soon summoned and five stitches were plaoed in the wound. He was visited by his intended bride that evening, and it was arranged that the marriage cere- mony would not be postponed. According- ly next day they were made one although the groom had to be assisted to and from the altar. A bill before the British Columbia Legis- lature provides that any person who is prov- en to be imbecile, or an habitual drunkard, shall not have the right to manage or dis- pose of any real or personal estate. Also any such person may, on petition by Ms or her husband or wife, or by any blood rela- tion, by marriage, or by any public officer, presented before any Judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, be interdicted and declared incompetent to transact any business whatever. The following is stated to be a correct ac- count of the recent tragedy at Grand Falls, N. B. :—Two traders named Blake and Kel- ly have been in the habit of selling goods in that vicinity. When they last left there was some trouble about a note and a man named Searway swore that if ever Blake came back he would beat his life out of him. On the 21st ult. Blake and Kelly returned and went into a public house. Seated in the room were two Frenchmen and shortly after Searway entered. The Frenchmen called on him to carry out his threat against Blake. Searway was afraid to attack Blake openly and going behind his back picked up a poker and struck him on the head, knock- ing him senseless. Then he picked up the body threw it in a wood -box and jumped on it until Kelly interferred to save his partner from being murdered. Then the French- men jumped upon Kelly, Searway also turn- ed on him, and catching him up, threw him over the table, and jumped upon his chest until it was pulp. Help came and Searway and the Frenchmen fled. The beaten men were taken to the Grand Falls hotel, where, two days later, Kelly died of his injuries, and even now Blake lies at the point of death. Searway has been arrested. The Relief of Emin Pasha, The arguments which Stanley brings in favor of the Congo route to the equatorial lakes of Africa are very strong. It is seven- teen days shorter than the Masai, which is the shortest of the eastern routes, but as the expeditionn hat to be carried by steamer from Zanzibar to the Congo, a twenty days' voyage, its length, measured by days, is about the same as its rival's.

"It is strange how wine people aro affect- ed by the light air and 6,000 foot altitude of Cheyenne," timid Policeman Bean. "A short time ago a book agent reached here from Deliver, He WilF1 rather a oadaveroue- looking chap, who didn't seem to pack around more blood in hie constitution than the law allows, As the train neared Chey- enne he began to glom) eround the car as if he Was afraid somebody was going to dug him, and whee the newe agent passed through peddling some oranges he fairly yelled for them to take Mai away. Be was afraid of being killed. When he reach- ed here he got spells in the same way, and Dead a good deal of bother in soothing him. "When he wasn't flighty he told me that he had often been troubled that way when he reached any tolerably high altitude. The least excitement brought on a fresh spell, I learned afterward that he never had any such attacks at home. In my ex- perience at the depot here I have known of many people who have been troebled in the same way. This seems to be especially' true of ladies, who grow worse until they begin to descend the hill from Sherman to Lara. mie City, and on inquiring of the trainmen I learn that afterward they go through all right," "You remember that little fellow from Neva, da who cut up such tantrums at the depot here a few months ago?" asked the Judge. The listener intimated that he hadn't forgotten the circumstance& "Well, that fellow began to thew the ef- fect of the altitude as the train neared Chey- enne. By the tinm he had reached here he had barricaded himself in the retirhig-room and was about to throw himself out of the window when the trainmen forced their way in and caught him. He was sure some- body was going to kill him. I got him away from the crowd and told him I'd pro- tect him, and finally got him quieted down. The trainmen looked after him until they began to descend from Sherman, and soon after he seemed. to be as sane as anybody. "It was only a few days later that an old lady on the train was taken in the same way. She got it into her head that a oolored woman who sat in the far end of the car had foul designs upon her. Until the train reached Cheyenne the unfortunate daughter of Africa did not dare move a muscle for fear of throwing the old lady into oonvul- alone. Ca,ses of this sort turn up often." "What sort a people seem to be the most affected that way?' was asked. "They are generally thin -blooded, nervous people, who if they are in fair health, have got vi- tality back of them," was the reply. "Very nervous old women are very often the vic- tims. A slight jar or shock sets thein going, and then the depot rustler has a picnic on his hands and no mistake. Their mania always assumes the same phuase—they al- ways believe somebody is going to kill them.' Fair Canada for Me, BY NORA LAUGHER. I've seen old Scotia's lofty hills • All clad with purple heather, Green Erin's rooks, and Cambria's rffle, Felt Albion's balmy weather. I have dwelt in Southern gardens, The land of birds and flowers, Where summer reigns throughout the year, Where all are golden hours. I have climbed wild, rugged mountains, Whose icy summits rise To snow -line height, while at their feet The sweet hedelweiss lies. I've wandered east, I've wandered west, Thro' many foreign lands; But only firki my home and rest On fair Canadian sands. Where Norman, Dane and Celt reside, All equal in degree, Where lurks no foolish high-born pride, Men, brothers all, and free.
