Som instead, of trying to improve what they h by keeping the weeds down and allow it to make a strong growth before winter, have planned to get all the pasture from it they could, besides permitting the weeds to steal the moisture and. strength from the aoil that the clover should have had, by pasturing. Many plants are destroyed by weeds, many are smothered, Weakened in growth...a...0". We canneantndersta,nd why it is so, b clooitatriere abused titan any other crop ass the farm. This is true on a vast majority a farms, and that, too, on farms that most need its complete development. On many stock farms with the number of animals kept it appears to be a necessity to pasture the stubble fields after the wheat is off. Solite seasons this °eat be clone with- out detriment to the clover, but we do not believe it is a safe rule to tie to. It is a question if the farmer had not better send his stock from home to ranted pastures, and give the clover full opportunity the first season of its growth. This fall, pasturing of young clover is usually too close, leaving nothing to pro. tect the plants during winter. When there is a strong growth, if not pastured, it should be clipped, as it is a mistake to al- low a heavy growth to [settle down over the roots, since this often smothers the Plants. Any person interested in the mat- ter visiting the seed merchant's store will soon learn that too many farmers are care. .lese as to the quality of send sown, They buy without carefully examining the grades before'them. When they have the seed they have no settled time as to sow- ing, observe no rules as to the condition of the soil, but rather try to strike a happy medium of all the sayings of those they may talk with. Every farmer should study to know the conditions best adapted to his own soil, and have' a law of his own and not be governed by the rules of -others that farm by signs. In this part of the country many are giving their attention to the growth of seed. Sometimes weget a fair crop of seed i the year the seed s sown. The season • being favorable, after the wheat is harvest- ed, the clover comes on very fast. We have knosvn two bushels per acre from this growth. Such a crop usually excites the grower and leads him into mistakes. If this crop is followed with a good one the second year after sowing, the grower reasons that it will do well the third. And just here he makes his mistake; the nature of the plant handicaps his expectations, and he finds during the summer when the clover should make a fine showing, that it has all nearly disappeared, and a growth of weeds coming on instead. Last spring farmers that made calculations in this direction attributed their failure to the March freeze. 1 have no doubt that it did. hasten the demise of the naturally weakened plants, and left fewer of them than there would have been without the freeze hut without the freeze the crop would have been unsatisfactory. A few days ago I passed over a field from which a crop of hay and seed had been taken. The third growth for the season was ten inches high, and as fine a growth as ever we saw; 'such as would lead the inexperienced to believe that the crop next year could not fail to be a good one, but the owner said he would take no risk, but will plow the field for corn. This was rich bottom land. In the same field we passed over Emma uplan from which the first, crop had not been cut Although it had been an anueually favor able season for seed development, ther was very little seed perfected in this. Ha tne first crop been out and 'allowed to li on the ground to act as a mulch, retaiuin the moisture, we believe a gobd crop o seed from second growth would have been the result. Another mistake that hurts producer in two or three way—the price paid by mapy local buyers is the same or all grade of seed. Some growers take advantage o this and throw on the market filthy seed which comes back to the farm to increas the weed product of the iarm. In th deal but one man is benefited, while score may be injured. In this connection the action .of one seed dealer in our county seat is to be commended. All seed brough to his store is recleaned, and the farme paid the stipulated price for such seed. This is as it should be. ice.

But we find that e, the moment he becomes familiar with those ad things, or any other that affright him, and ng knows what they are, he grows indifferent to them. Therefore, when your horse shies at anything, make him acquainted with it; let him smell it, touch it with his sensitive upper lip and lools °basely at it. Remem- ber, too, that you must familiarize both sides of him with the dreaded object. Be Merciful to Your Animals. "ts'ee'lif nattitatatese.nt at the oold winter wind pumping water for farm ani- ut mals that have no protection from the weather as they huddle together at the trough, we know of a roan that has missed one opportunity to put a few boards to a good use. Four poled will -answer for posts, and old and broken pieces of boards will answer to enclose two sides, and to roof an enclosure about the pump that will pitted from wind and snow in winter and front sun and rainin summer. Four or five poles and two or three dollars' worth of cheap lumber will make an eftective wind break to shield the animals as they stand at the trough. This muoh protection will be a great gain and will pay for the boards a score of times before they are worn out. If the trough is roofed, so much the better; and it will cost only a little. STORY OF A NECKLACE. The Czarina Receives a Rope of Pearls from the Shah of Persia—It Formerly Belonged to CailierIne the Great A despatch from London, says ;—The young Empress of Russia at present is occupying a great deal of "society's" time. We have been hearing some very pretty stories of her kind heart and benevolent instincts, and the manner in wfiich she is alleged to be twisting the Czar around her fingers is described as perfectly delightful from an English standpoint, With all her graces and virtues, however, Alexa.ndra Feodorovna has a woman's lode for finery and trinkets, and she is giving evidence of an intention of indulging it to the utmost. She had just given a Copenhagen jeweller a truly regal order nor a diarriond coronet and annecklace of Oriental pearls. The coronet, which is to be framed of Greek crosses and worn in the Grecian knot of her hair, will cost $240,000, and the neck lace will be worth $340,000. Besides the rich jewels which belong of right to the Czarina, presents galore are pouring in upon the young Empress. The Shah of Persia sent her a superb pearl necklace which has quite O history of its own. In reaching the Russian capital, says a society tattler, this necklace only returns to its original home. It originally belonged to Catherine the Great, who was so fond of it that she used to sleep with it around her neck. But greatly attached to it though she was, Catherine for some reason or other gave it to one of her two Orloff favorites,who took it first to Germany and then to Paris with him. In the French capital he met with that extraordinary adventurer,St. Germain, the magician, who went into the best circles, was a great favourite with the King, and, in fact, ruled the court society of the day. This brilliant charlatan, who used to assert that he was more than 1,800 years old, and had known the Saviour in Jerusalem,bought this necklace from Orloff; and sold it to the Persian envoy. Thus it found its way to the land of the lion and the sun, whence it is now returned to the land of the bear. Will We Be Shipbuilders Again? Canada was at one time the greatest shipbuilding country hi the world. That a was in the clays of wooden vessels. Now the best vessels are built of steel and e nickel. Canada should produce these d cheaper than any other country. An un - e prejudiced source, The London Ecanomist, f says; "Canada will eventually control the shipbuilding industry, and this from a remarkable fact of only recent realization a It is now practically proved that steel mixed with from 3 to 5 per cent. of nickel 8 it double the strength of ordinary steel,and f as it does not corrode or take on barnacles, , ships constructed of it willpossess the very e great advantage of never requiring to be e scraped. Moreover, as ships of nickel -steel May safely be built much lighter than ordinary steel ships, their engine power and consumption of coal may be safely t keduced Without diminution of speed, in e short, according to this writer, such steel seems bound to supersede the ordinary article,and probably also all ether materials in present use in ship construction,and this being the case, the nation which is in a position to proctuee this metal must noes. amity control the shipbuilding industry, For the present, at least, there is no con- siderable supply of nickel outside of Canada,which, in fact, possesses nickelifem ous pyrites without limit, the entire bleak region extending from Lake Superior to Labrador 'being rich in it. It is declared by experts that the Dominion eau supply a million tons of the pure metal annually, if necessary, for an indefinite period." Packing Ise. Select a dry piece of land as near the well as possible, so it will be handy to wash the ice for use; dig a cellar the desired size —mine is ten feet by twelve feet and six feet deep—ceil the walla with two-inch plank, stone, or brick, so that it will not cave; put a good roof over the top to keep it dry, and have an open door in each gable so as to give free circulation of air. Now comes the most important part—the fieor. (If the ice house has not a good drainage the ice packed in it will be gone about as soon as the ice in the mill pood).

The domestic production was 305,800 tone, foreign cane,1,554,528 tons, and foreign beet 150,796 tons. American refiners melted 1,891,482 tons, of which the Trust handled about 77 per cent. Independent refiners increased their output 41 per cent. over their production in 1893, while the Trust lost 5 per cent. The difference in price between raw aud refined averaged 8nc. per pound. • The stock of petroleum becomes more de pleted each day in the United States, and prime advance in proportion. The quota- tion has reacfied $1, and an unusually large amount of business was transacted for this quiet market. Reports from the field show an exceed of deliveries over runs of nearly six million barrels during the year 1894, against about five millions the previous year, and a balance of over two millions the other way in 1892. 'Net stocks at the end of 1894 are reported about seven million barrels, against over twelve million a year earlier. New wells have been pushed rapidly to meet the growing demand, and 3,756 were completed during 1894, against less than 2,000 in 1893. Although the ex- ports from. Nest. York for the year were 5,159,512 gallons smaller than during .the preceding year, the totaloutward movement from the United States was 28447,154 gallons larger than during 1893. The wheat market closed strong on Satur- day night in New York, and since then the tone has been irregular, although prices have not changed much either -way. Every rumor from abroad caused some slight fluc- tuation, and as the Berlin new has been especially uncertain, the prices bobbed up and down in sympathy. But nearly every day the previous day's closing price was regained before buisness ended. Thoman's estimates were circulated on Wednesday, and cs.used -some shifting. He puts the amount used as fodder at less than fifty million bushcls, which is below the general belief. Previous predictions were between seventy- five and one hund red million bush els, and as these figures were not intended to include the considerable amount of wheat used every year in this way,the estimate of less than fifty million bushels ia supposed too low. Reports of vieible supply did not show the expected decrease of over a million for the week, which disappointed the major- ity of traders, who were counting on still higher' prices. Wholesale trade at Toronto shows a slight improvement in some lines, but there is apparentlyslittle in the situation that warrants any permanent appreciation. The outlook as viewed by many is not Without its favorable signs, but the import. ant drawback is a lack of confidence and the great discrimination with respect to credits, Better things, however, are ex- pected as a result of this general cautious policy, but it may yet be some time before the better state is attained, The general stocks of merchandise are compo.ritively small throughout the country, and mer- chants are buying only from head -to -month. In some oases retail merchants are taking advantage of the discount offered for cash: Prices as a rule are low, and it looks as if the price of wheat is not out of proportion when compared with many leading lines of rnerchandise....

A NEW F001) SUPPLY. The Cultivation of Rabbits on a Ifierafie Scale Onrers Remarkable Advantages. In the way of furnishing a food supply for the future, and especially for the poor, the rabbit industry, we are told, offers re- markable advantages. To cheer up the readers of Malthus, who are apprehensive of starvatimo for the race in the dim and distant future, writers have desoribed the wonderful possibilities in the way of a fish supply, and others more recently have sug- gested the manufacture of food `by chern- istry oat of the elements round about us in the air, the water, and the earth, Now manes another writer suggesting the out. tivation of -rabbits on it large scale, and explaining the advantages they present in point of economy. The article runs as folio we: "The rabbit supplies in many ways the requirements of the poor man's food. The poor maa can easily raise them„ for they are cheap to keep and their propagating power is most extraordinary. Pennant has calculated that one pair will in four years time if all the young ones are kept alive, have multiplied into 1,274,840. A INTERIOR oP RAABBIT female rabbit casts young ones eight times a year: if she casts seven at the average, she bears fifty-sixall told in a year. Let us say she bents fifty per year and esti- mate each at ten pounds; she produces five hundred pounds of meat in a year. As many poor people could get the rabbit's food free of cost, they could practically get a few hundred pounds of meat for nothing. The rabbit skins are worth some- thing, when prepared. Under various. names twenty million rabbit skins are ex- ported yearlytfrom Australia to London. London alone uses every week half a mil- lion 'rabbits, most of which .comes from Belgium. Belgium earns yearly 50,000,000 to -60,000,000 francs [510,000,000, to 512,- 000,000] on rabbits ; France, 400,000,000 francs N80,000,0001" The author next describes the various breeds suitable for food, and recommends the Norman rabbit, bred in the neighbor. hood of Cherbourg and Rouen, as the best. In South France and Spain they raise the Angora rabbit, whose hair they cut fre- quently and spin into a fabric they call cashmir. A cross between the Angora rabbit and. the Russian rabbit producee a fine stock and still better hair than that of the original Angora. Of the manner of raising the rabbits we aro told: "No success can be had in rabbit -raising on it large scale unless one scrupulously attends to the cleanliness of the animals, their feeding by strict and regular rules, the separation of the two sexes till they are fully developed. . . . The rabbits can he reared in iso.ated small pens or in large houses, built for the purpose. But under all circumstances the animals kept for breeding must be isolated, the males and females in special boxes of about one and one-half square yards bottom surface, and of an inside height of about one yard. . . . The disagreeable smell so often observed around rabbits comes from lack of clean- liness. . . Special nests must be prepared for the females; the males do not need them. Our illustration shows a stable on a large scale. . . . The natural food for rabbits is vegetable; almost all refuse from a vege. table store is sultablet In the spring when green fodder is scarce, the rabbits eat car- rots and other roots. They must never get onione." AQUEDUCTS LINDER RIVERS. The Mersey Tunnel and the New Sewage Alain ruder the Seine. The new sewer main of Paris, which crosses from Olichy to Asnieres underneath the Seine, was formally dedicated rec.ently. It is the first portion of an enormous en. terpriae which will take away all the sewage of Paris from the waters of the Seine. The work was begun in 1889, and will require fourtenn years or more to complete. The difncalties eiacountered, especially under the river proper, were many and took a long time to overcome. The river forming its bed in remote titnee, upheaved the soil for a considerable depth. 'Crevices filled with alluvial matter, quick- sands, calcareous rocks, conglomerates and very hard silex were met within a few fees of each other. The machinery employed is similar to that used in America with great success at the St. Clair tunnel. As quick as the hydeaulle tunneling shield advanced the Mtge iron rings forming the tube were adjusted. The length of the tunnel under the Seine is 1540 feet; its diameter, 8 feet 6 inches. Another Idgt'y interesting subaquatic structure is t h 4 .t..,aav tunnel', eorinecling Liverpool with lb ie 10,660 feet long, 20 fe,-; end nearly 2 feet high.

Last year was a depressing one for the port of Montreal. Not only did the ton- nage of sea -going vessels arriving at the port fall off to the extent of over four per cent. as aompared with the previous year but, as is well known, the business was an- protitableAnd companies have liquidated or sold out. The inland or river and lake tonnage also decreased to a still greater extent. it must be remembered, however, that the preitious year was a remarkably favorable one for the port. This accounts for the extreme contrast in the exports of grain this year as compared with last, the total shipments being when measured by bushels only somewhat more than one-third of those of last year. Our exports of butter have fallen off one.half, too. This it a serious matter from the point of view of the agriculturist as well as of the shipper, for the decrease in our butter shipments means a like decrease in the butter produc- tion of the country. Batter might be one of the most profitable and economical of products for export by Caniada. If well made and shipped fresh and sweet, by good transportation methods it would bring high prices in Great Britain. The exportation of butter robs the land of little of value ; very much less than the exportation of any - other product that can be named. Hay shipments were small, as they should be ; the export of hay is extremely uneconom- ical ; it ought to be manufactured into butter and cheese for export. The shipments of cheese have been very large; it is to be hoped that the increase is not accounted for by American cheese being shipped this Way, branded as Canadian cheese. The exports of animals, both horses and cattle, *bat especiatly sheep, have increased greatly this year. There has been a large increase in the ship - wants of flour, which is the more satisfac- tory in view of the decrease in the ship- ments of grain. The great increase has been in the lumber trade, which has, it ita underatood, been fairly profitable as well as largo this year. It is to he hoped that next season will cihow an improvement over the past one ; the recovered activity in the United States should have a beneficial effeet on Canada, A sligtht Mistake.

Justleo Maellahou Inflicts Another Heavy Sentence Upon a Pickpocket at the Assize Ilibart. A despatch from Toronto says:—The stern justice which Judge MacMahon is meeting out in the Assize Court to men whose records tell of their determination to live by the proceeds of crime was the subject of very favorable comment in police and detective circles on Taesday. William Blake, wha was tried on a' Marge of pick- ing the pocket of Miss Phenix,a deaf mute, was found guilty at the Assizes. The evidence of Miss Phenix and also of her escort, William Green, who is also a. deaf mute, was given in the language of their class, and interpreted to the mart by Miss Green, a sister of the male witness. The process was somewhat long but was full of interest tO those in the court room. Blake, who is 60 years of age, hay. ing served three terms previously,askecl for mercy for the sake of his aged and almost helpless wife. He said he had served 13 years in Her Majesty's army, and was an honest man until five years ago, when hi was driven to crime by drink and poverty. The wife was in the court room,and created A sensation by interspersing her huahand's words with hysterical pleadings. Pass- ing a sentence of five yeara upon the prisoner, His Lordship drew attention to the increase in the crime of popket- picking from 23 in 1893 to 14 n 1894, and exptelsed a determination to pass sentences which would have a deterrent effect.
