Mr. Dawson Kennedy, of Otonabee, 'read a tpaper on mixed foaming. He said that mixed farming was 'generally admitted to be the best policy of the farmers of this country. He thought the soil of our coun- try was capable of producing just double the quantity of grain, grass and roots that It was at present doing. He urgently ad- vocated Mover as without an equal as a fer- tilizer of the eon. A great many of the farms of our country, were, he said, run • down, and he considered the only moans to r bring them up to the standard again was to practise economy and make the soil more • productive. He believed this state of affairs was due to a lack of eystem of operation and fertilization on the part of farmers. THE MANURING QUESTION. The question of manuring came up inci- dentally. Mr. Kennedy said good results had followed his bursting atraw on a field. Mr. A. R. Kidd of Hummer, considered it would be better to use the straw as an absorbent of liquid manure, instead of burn. ing it, I Mr. Kennedy, continuing, said the soil of our country was good, but there was some- thing lacking to make it productive, which they must supply by fertilizing. He thought clover unequalled. Mr. Drury, M.P.P., said he could no recommend Mr. Kennedy's system of burn- ing straw to all parts of the province. Prof. Mills ccnsidered better results would follow if the straw was converted into manure by rotting it with liquid manure, when all ahe constiteents of both the straw and manure would be retained, whereas the carbon was lost by burning. Mr. Kennedy asserted chat quack grass -could be totally smothered out in a single season by growing two crops of clover and turning both under. Prof. Mills supported is statement. BEST METHOD OF PREPARING TILE SOIL. . Mr. A. R. Kidd, of Dui:timer, next read a paper on "The best method of manuring and preparing the soil," in which he said his own experience would lead him to state that the best *ay to bring up a run-down farm Was by green manuring. He favoured the growing of turnips. Too much should not rest upon barn -yard manure, he said, as the supply would not meet requirments ; clover ;manurial plants, such as peas, buckwheat or rye, should be sown or turned under. He advocated the more general raising of turnips as the best means of helping up farms. He contended that manure should be kept moist, carted to the field early and applied to root crop and that only. A crop I of turnips followed by one of barley or wheat would produce the best results. Mr. 1Kidd said he had used land plaster in help- ! ing the growth of turnips and had found it , very useful. I The gelation of applying manure came up, Mr. Davidson, M. Milburn and Mr. Jos. Trennum advocating placing it on the field in the fall, even if snow has fallen; not dis- tributing it but keeping it in heaps. It saved valuable time and produced good re- atiteCLOVER SEEDING. Clover seeding was touched upon, Mr. Kennedy claiming that it was best to grow Iwo crops of Mover and plough both under, while Mr. Drury contended that if both crops were cut and just the roots turned uhder, as much plant food was left in the soil as had !leen taken away. A vote was taken upon the question as to whether a second crop of clover in a season was as gooa as the first, very few thinking it was. Old Ernperor Will' , of Ge man , has always been noted as sensible, though, of oourne, somewhat arbitrary and headstrong. Among oilier proofs of his good sense is that h does not claim nor does bo receive for hiniself or for any of his family what are called " railway courtesies," or in other words, free tickets. He pays his way like other passengers and at ordinary rates and he makes all his family do the same. This is the right and proper idea which will have to be followed everywhere. If railways can afford to carry so many dead.beads then the ordinary charges are to.o high. If they cannot, they ought not. But it is on railways as everywhere else. Those who don't pay make those who do pay not mere - y for themselves, but for their se/fish and mean spirited fellowtravellors. Things will never be anything like what they ought to be till the same law of puri- ty and honour is enforced upon men as unon women, and that this is not the case at pre - goat, everyone knows. When one think of only too many who are high in Canadian political and tocial life, there is no difficult y in seeing how far it is from being the case that one law of purity is applied to both the sexes. A poor girl often more inned against than sinningoes astray and s immodestly outraged. There is really no hope for her except she flee away into re- gions where she can never be heard of. But what of the men who caused her ruin? What of many who are morally ten thou- sand axles worse than she? On they are all right. Honoerable women smile upon them ansi honourable men call them friends. It seems that amid alt the h f P dents and Dlinistries under .the third Repub- lic in France, the chief cook at the Elysee has kept his place. Men may come and men may go but he holds on for ever. Ru. mour also says that the entertaining under President Carnet will be greater than it has been under any of his predecessors and that through a deliberate plan of policy. The cook and the President are alone in the opinion that the way to men's hearts is to be found through their stomachs, and that it is therefore good policy to spend a good deal on good dinners, and to bring as many of -somewhat different views to enjoy their dinners as may:be possible. If this really is Carnet's poi:my or at least part of it, he is wise in his generation and may do a grear deal of good, keeping the thing of course in moderation and not spending too vouch on the dishes. Mr. Moody is at present holding a series of revival meetings in Lonisville, Kentucky. There has been erected a large building for the purpose. What causes considerable difficulty and heart burniter is that separate meetings are to be held for the white and the colored seekers after salvation. It would never do tor anxious white sinners to be dealt with in the same place and at the same time as "Niggers." There ought to be another heaven, sure. Perhaps in no part of the world has the preaching of the taospel been so signally emcees:dui as in the Fiji Islands. To -day there is not to be found an avowed heathen on the islands. Of the 128,414 inhabitants 111,743 are natives, over 100,000 of whom, or nine -tenths, are regular church atten- dants. The statistics of the Wesleyan mis- sion shove 54 native ministers, 44 catechists, 1,877 local preachers, 3,192 class leaders, 27,421 church members and' 1,255 places of worship. The youngest ot the thirty-eight living widows of Revolutionary' soldiers is Nancy A. Green of Versailles. She draws a pen- sion, but there are theme who question her right, and for this reason. She was born in 1818, the Revolutionary war ended in 1783. If her husband was 21 years old when he was mustered out, he was 56 years old when she was born ; aed if he married her when she was 18 years old, ha was then a man of 74.

When the Twelfth Nigh* cake is cut, a portion is set apart for each living member of the fami. ly, whether present or not. The slices designed for the absent ones are carefully preserved and inspected from time to time. Their condition is believed to indicate the health of those for whom they have been set apart. If the cake is Bound and keepa well, no fears are entertained for the safety of the absent ones; but, if it decays, the gravest, apprehensions are aroused. Amongst a peasantry generally tgnoraut of reading and writing, it may be judged what import- ance attaches to this odd substitute for correspondences It is gratifying to know on outside testi- mony that our people are among the most sober and temperate in the world. A com- parative table recently published by the Swiss Bureau of statistics giving the annual liquor consumption of difrorent countries will serve to correct some erroneous im- pressions upon this subject.

Mr. Drury took up the question of sum. mer fallowing, in which he had perfect faith. He had found it to be sure death to thistles. He formerly used gang ploughs for this pur- pose, but he had invented a machine of his own, a wide shear cultivator, with arms about five feet wide, some in front and some in the rear, which he had found filled the bill. After summer fallowing, Mr, Drury said he sowed without manuring. Professor Mills chemically analyzed the substance of the soil and plant, showing how the different elements in the air, water and ground united to form the plant, and the chemical value of each. He explained the results of the burning and decomposition of straw. He weed farmers to preserve the soakage from their manure piles, as a pint of the liquid was equal to a whole load of manure. The glory of the Indian has passed in the far West. Recently a number of school boys attending the Central school at Ogden pelted two Indians who were passing with snowballs. The Indians gave chase and captured one little boy, but on his saying that he had not thrown any snow balls they let him go. The Indians Made a complaint, but got no satisfaction.

'shave known a man to refuse to buy books orsubscribe tor papers for his growing boys, because there were some old books in the house that they hadn't read. As well might he compel them to wear clothing whioh, though in good condition, does not fit them in the least. Young brains must be fed, and if they cannot get good food they will by some means or other get bad food. Your boy's thoughts are strongly colored if not wholly controlled by what he reads; if his books are bad his thoughts are bad and as a man thinketh so' is he. Books and peri- odicals are not luxuries, they are simply food, and as we like some of our food to be fresh, it is poor economy not to take a daily paper. I was talking this matterover with old Peter Elderberry the other day, when he said :—" Taint no use, Miss Bel, no mat- ter how ye fix it. I brbeve if .I'd taken a paper all my life 'twould have been a clear waste. I'd be 'just as empty now as I was when I begun." This reply greatly amused the youngest boy, who was coming in to , dinner. See here, Peter," said he, I've eaten dinner every day since I clan remem- ber, and I'm just as empty now as when I began. Clear waste, wasn't it?" Old Peter's face slightly relaxed. " You're too smart," said he. "Comes from reading the papers," calmly replied the youngest boy. No. 3.—That it is the lawful (moral law understood) to be sad, silent or indifferent at home. Why should the wife, who has been troubled all day with her ailing child- ren, be obliged to make a fresh effort at night to dissipate the gloom that surrounds her husband Why ahould the husband, who has had care and trouble enough in his own work, be met with a longfirawn sigh, deep depression and the cheerful announce- ment, "Everything has gone wrong ail day"? When things go wrong it is the more important that people should go right, and though it is a difficult thing to treat a member of the family with the consideration that we would voluntarily offer to a mere guest, still it is a possible feat and a feat well worth performing. When lowness of spirits, instead of being a temporary afflic- tion is a continuous blight, then, at what- ever cost, the sufferer should be entirely re- moved from the home and the family and the work to which she has devoted herself for years. What she needs is change of air and scene, change of people and diet, cnenge of action and thought. if the new state of things is an improvement on the old, then will she share the improvement. But if she learns on her journey that other people also have troublea, and that sonte of them, who have reason to be far more miserable than she, are apparently not miserable at all, the will she return home marvelling within herself that she should ever have given way to unhappiness, or, worse still, have made those she most loved unhappy. What Be Wanted to Know. "Now, children," said the Sunday school teacher, who had been impressing upon the minds of her pupils the terrors of future punishment, "11 any of you have anything on your ininda, any trouble that you would iike to ask me about, I will gladly tell you all I ean." • There was no response for some time. At length a little fellow on the other end of the bench raised hia hand and said: "Teacher, I've got a question." "Well, what is it ?" " Ef you was me an' had a stubbed toe would you tie it up in a rag with arnicker onto it, or would ye jos let it go?" She Had Been There. " Gerby, did I show you this engagement ring of emeralds and diamonds that Charlie Brown gave me ?" "Oh, I have seen it before l" "Sean it before 1" "Yes, when I was engaged to him last year." Last yearn calendars can be bought pretty cheap just now. It seems strange that long before this there had not been a large and comprehen- sive rearrangement of the Extradition Treaty between the United States and Great Britain. What possible interest can either country have in being made a har- bour of refuge to the cheats and blackguards of ita neighbours? The Atnerioan coldny of thieves from the States settled ha coin fort aid seeurity in Canada is quite large and the Canadians who have skipped to Brother Jotathan's ample clomaits are like- wise very numerous. Why should such a state of thihgs oontintte for a single day? Surely an arrangement could be made by which political offenders could be perfectly safe while all the boodlera would have to face the music in their own coulee of lave, and be made to livo, not in luxury on plencler, bet in helmet motley and on eative prison fare, It will be a blessed cloy for all parties wheii such ati arrangement is finally and satisfactorily Made, It cat't come a day toe seen.

Sleepiness is not canmonly thought of as an especially painful condition, although many peoale must know something about it as a discomfort, particularly in church. But here hi art old eoldier, who declares that he never suffered such acute agony front any other cause. The army was on a forced march, and men and horses had been with- out Weep till nature could bear it DO longer. My eyes u ould close, do what I could to prevent it ; anti in order to escape a fall from my horse, I would lean forward and wind my arms about his neck; but the poor brute's head would invariably sink lower and lower, until 1 found myself sliding head foremost toward the ground, at which, with a desperate effort, 1 would straighten up sufficiettly to make such a tug at the reins end suoh a poke with my spurs, as to arouse my usually spirited, but now most docile, beast. But the next moment my eyelida would drop again, and presently f would feel the exhausted horse begin to waver, his legs trembling as if he were about to fall. Then again I would dismount and attempt to hold myself up by throwing my arm over the animal's neck; but this plan was no more successful than the other, for down would go his head, or else I would feel his body giving way and myself falling.

Under other circumstances I should have told him to take away the vile stuff, but now I grasped the canteen most eagerly; but instead of drinking from it, I poured out as much as 1 I could hold in the palm of my had, and dashed it into my eyes. Even that i id not or keep me awake for me than Mul se inutes.

The surgeon of his regiment being close at hand, hurried to the spot, and after a short examination simply asked, "'Who is it ?" for it was too dark for him to see, arid. then pronounced life to be extinct, and moved away. In leas than tett minutes from the time the utafortuna,te man sat down on the fence, his comrades were digging his grave.
