Wks not drop the suffix and call it simply Worden? Horticulturists do not need to be told of its origin every time they hear its name, and others will not carve. improvements in a. Churn. A farmer'■ wife iitee adopted ai} ingenieus method of making bet cream of the right churning temperature the year around. She uses a dash churn made of tin, whioh is set in another chum or oaak of wood, so large as to 1e ve aspace of an inah or more all round between the two. In cold weath- er the interstice is filled with warm water, and iuwarm weather with oold water ; then, with a thermometer, it is easy to tell when the temperature of the Dream is right whioh point is usually at 64 degrees. It ie. fair to eseame that over half the butter made in this country is by farmers with one to a half-dozen cows, who nee dash ohurns, and about everyone of them has more or Ices trouble in gold weather be- eause " the butter won't come," This. trouble is usually owing to too oold tem- perature of the Dream. After churning, the old dash churn is set away in a cold teem. When needed again it is brought out, the cream planed in, and the churn set by the stove, first turning one side to the fire, and then another, perhaps tor half a day. The churn and cream cannot warm through thoroughly and evenly because while the side next the stove le warming, the opposite aide is cooling. The water surrounding the tin churn soon imparts the right temperature to its oontente provided the cream be stirred oocasionally,and then, if the milk and cream have been handled rightly, the butter • will come in a few u minutes, instead of a few hours, as le often n the case, which latter fact every farm butter -maker knows to his or her sorrow is too often the case. To facilitate matters we would suggest that a spout in the wooden caee toward the top be provid- ed to pour water in, and a faucet be placed toward the bottom to draw off water, as it would be necessary sometimes to make the water warmer or cooler by removing some and adding other to produce the right temperature. Fertility or the Farm. Two muoh cannot be said of the clover and legumes for maintaining a high stand- ard of fertility. The manure pit, pile, or shed has its importance and should not lack attention. It makes no difference how much the evil of graining farming is descried, the soil will be robbed, and robbed until the robber is starved out ; but all enterprising farmers who exercise proper foresight plainly see that no other supplementary work in supplying fertility is more profitable than such a course of farming as will be the means of using all the products of neighbors' farms on limited areas, and unite it with the work of leg- umes. It is, we think, a large loss of fertility each season to let dry stubble fields lay until simply convenient time to fall plow and then fall plow and let the ground lay bared to sun and winds until the following season. We have found that not only a large amount of forage can bo obtained, but we alsofind that the exposure of the soil can be pre- vented by removing the small grain shocks as soon as possible from fields, turn them over at once, and seed tcoats, whether wet or dry. With August or September rains the ground is soon covered with a fine lot of forage or pasture hating until very late in November, and often iuto December. The ground is still in shape for cropping without rep]owing in the spring, and is in condition to hold fall rains and absorb winter moisture, and is in a good condition fora seed bed the following spring. The fertility that costs nothing is that washed out of the air by the rains in the form of nitrogen. The dark color of rain water is this material held in solution. While it is a fart that every season fats plowing or summer fallowing is not a suc- cess we contend as a rule that it is beneficial since it will lodge and hold more water when moisture occurs and hold this valuable material better to the roots of growing plants. This past season was an exception, though, to the rule, in our immediate range of observation. The value of clovers has received wide attention, but the very unfavourable sea- sons to obtain a "catch" last two years makes it certain that every other means available should be improved. Fall plowing is within the reach of every one, and so is the economical feeding and disposition of surplus feeds on neighbors' farms. Soil shading should not be overlooked, which is a means not often used. The whole country now with respect to market- ing has gone into what might be termed the dumping process. Farms are rapidly being depopulated of all kinds of stock that will eat dear food• There would be no better investment than for grass fields, especially clover fields, to have a year of rest. It is readily observed when an old fence bas been retnoved,•or svbere fences or grasses left unmown or cropped for years, that the soil is very rich and dark. The interception of the sun's rays and protection from them has improved the soil, often making it very rich. The shade of clover or legumes is still of greater benefit than the mixed grasses that work into the fence rows. This is so because clover has the power of reducing the temperature beneath its foliage. If, at this stage of farming, stock is closely marketed there would pro- bably be no better investment than to let clover fields go uncut, br if cut, do it very early, leave it on the ground, and follow with a seed crop. Profitable Feeding With Growing Pigs. • That there is a growing demand for pigs which give the greatest percentage of the hiphtest quality, rather than for the huge, overgrown, excessively fat swine is the belief of Prof. Luther Foster. Under the oest system of 'feeding, the time to seoure this is when the animal has just reached maturity, the monies being fully developed, and when continued feeding would only add fat. Tho appitite, with the digestive and assimilative functions, is reached, when the hog eats and digests only the food"necessary to maintain heat and respiration and to replenish the waste of the body. In the young and active etage of rowth the percentage of waste is muoh less than it is atter maturity. With the young animal the tick is lessened; there are quicker returns from the investment, a better quality of meat, and, consequently; greater profits, The food of support need* ed to enpply the constant waste of the systetn and keep the animal without gain or loss, increases to a large item ab mature ity. There ie a constant increase in the amount of food needed to produce a pound of live weight. THE MONKEYS OF APES' FIILT. - They Are supposed to Dave Invaded Gib- raltar by a $ubmarlue Passage. One of the most popular yarns in Gibral- tar relates to the monkeys, which are supposed to have come over hundreds of years ago from Apes' Hill, in Morocco. Some say that there used to be a submarine passageway through which they crossed, ancaby means of whioh they make their, escape nowadays when hard pressed by those incredulous people who wish to scale the steep cliffs and ascertain for themselves whether or not there is a colony of Simians at the summit. The guides toll wonderful yarns about them, and even go so far as to say that they have been pelted with atones by the monkeys. One officer said that he saw two of them on the windowsill of his bath- room when he went to take his mornings' dip. Diligent inquiry revealed the fact that a dinner party had been attended the evening before which had lasted almost until the aforementioned tubbing time. At the dinner it was said that at one time apes were abundant on the rock, but per- secution had •reduced them to between a dozen and aaeore, and that these are strict- ly cared for by the sergeant in charge of the signal station, who keeps a book in which he records the doings of his proteges. Indeed so few iu number are these monkeys thatpeople of ten live on the rock for months without teeing one, and on the othe'•,hand any morning they may be seen plundering the gardens on the slope or taking tithe of the grapes in the Governor's summer cot• tage away out towards the extreme end of the rock. Yet in old times, it is said, they sometimes boldly crowded on board ships, until in terror of the invasion, tate mas- ters cut their cables and made for sea.

A Despatch from Newark, N.,T., save_ In the rear of the filthy little front room at. No. 63 Fair street on Saturday the aged and weal thy, but miserly, recluse, Margaret Hunter, was found frozen to death. Aa - other little room adjoined, whioh until after her death was jealously guarded against the intrusion of strangers. Just what was in that room few people knew, though there were, perhaps, two or three to whom the eccentric old woman told that "some day he would come baci and he would find everything ready for him." Though she had long subsisted on what charitable neighbors provided for her, she had financial affairs in abundance, as is shown by the dozen or more bank books which bear credits of more than $11,000 for that much cash which she had deposit- ed. at odd times since 1864. In addition to the books already found it is believed that othere are in existence showing deposits of more thon $17,000. WAITED FOR sorra ONE. The little room on the rear of the first floor, which has for years been waiting for some one evidently dear to the old women, contains abed, upon which the pillows and clothing were carefully arranged, and all the reouieitea of a well kept bed chamber. The old woman was probably waiting for the return of her son, John Henry Hunter, and she has kept the room trim and tidy for fifteen years. On a small slip of paper among the old woman's effects was the address " Richard Hunter, Beverly Gore District, Upper Canada, West." Chief Hopper on Thursday morning received a letter from John Hunter, employed by J. W. Parker Ott Co. of New York. The letter is as follows :— "I noticeed the report of the death of Mrs. Margaret Hunter of your city. I beg to state that -my mother's, name was Margaret and that I have not known of her where- abouts for the last thirty-five years. She was formerly a resident of New Brunswick, Canada. Mre. Hunter is said to have several relatives in Canada. PROHIBITION IN THE U. S. A But Introduced Into Congress at the Instance of the Ve, thT.E. A despatch from Washington gape—Mr. Blair (Rep.

Adespatch from Washington says:—Sena tor Lodge and Representative O'Neill, both of Masaaohuestts, appear to be of the same mind about the payment of the Behriug Sea damages, which were agreed to be settled by the Paris arbitration, and both regard a war aa preferable to complying with the terms of the arbitration. No one seems to have gotten at the bottom of the Eastern opposition to settling on the basis of the award agreed to between Secretar- Gresham and Ambassador Pauncefote —an opposition supported by Representative Hill of Illinois. The United States has agreed to. pay damages to the Canadian and Ameri, can sealers who were prevented front tak- ing aeale, and the damages undoubtedly will be paid in time. Secretary Greaham looked over the cases, and ha believed that be had made a very geed settlement of the matter when he consented that the united States should pay $425,000. If this propo- sition made to Congress is not accepted, the result undoubtedly will be that a com- mission will be named to reach an agree- ment. In that case it is not at all unlikely it bill of some two or three millions of dol- lars would be made out against the United States, and that Congress would pay it. Chimney Sweeps in England. That useful and eonspienoue person, the ohimney sweep, has been further legislated against—whether at the motherly instiga- tion of the London County Council or not we cannot say. By the Chimney Sweepers Act, 1894, the men no Ionger, sinoethe 31st December last, knock at houses from door to door, or ring a bell, or use any noisy in- strument (presumably his voice included), or to the annoyance of any inhabitant ring he dour bell of any house, under the lia- bility of a summary fine of los. for the first offence, and 20s for every subsequent of- fence. Chimney sweepers have been the subject of consider'.ble legislation. In 1840 the scandalous employment of young children as chimney and flue climbers, under the most cruel mid perilous circum- stances, was made illegal; no child under 10 was allowed to be even apprenticed to a sweep. It will be remembered that the hero of Charles Kiugeley's Water •Babies was a sweep's boy. In 1861 the protection of children from the evils of the Trade was made still more effective. A child under ten eau done work whatever for a sweep outside his place of business; and a sweep entering a house to sweep a chimney cannot bring with him any person under 16. In any prosecution the burden of proof of age lies on the sweep. In 1875 it was enacted that every sweep must hold a certificate from the police to enable him to carry on the business of chimney sweeping. It would be a good thing if many other danger- ous trades were as well reg elated internally as this one. Character in Pencils.

Truax, one of Canada's ablest thinkers and states- men, a man so highly esteemed by the people of his district that he was honored with a seat in Parliament, kindly furnishes us for publioation the following statement, which will be most welcome to the public, inasmuch as it is one in which all will place implicit confidence. Lir. Truax says : "I have been for about ton years very muoh troubled with Indigestion and Dyspepsia, have tried a great many different kinds of patent medicines, olid have been treated by a number of physicians and found no benefit from. them. I was recom- mended to try the Great South American Nervine Tonic, I obtained a bottle, and I must gay I found very great relief, and have since taken two more, bottles, and now feel that I am entirely free from 'Indigestion, and would strongly recommend all. my fellow -sufferers from the disease to give- South American Nervine an immediate trial. It will cure you, "REUBEN E. TRUA'.X`, e 1 Walkerton, Ont," It has lately been discovered that certain Nerve Centres, located near the base of the brain, ooutrol and supply the stomach with the neces- sary nerve force to properly digest the food. When these Nerve Oran.. tres are in any way deranged time supply of. nerve foree is at owe diminished, and as a result the food taken into the stomach is only partially digested, and Chronic Indi• gestion and Dyspepsia soonmake their appearance. South American Nervine is so prepared that it acts directly en the nerves, It will absolutely cure every ease of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and is an absolute specific for all nervous diseases and ailments. It usually gives relief in one day. Its powers to build up the whole system are wonderful hi the extreme. It Dikes the old, the young, and the middle-aged, It is a great friend to the aged and infirm. Do not neglect to use this precious boon ; if you do, you may neglect the only remedy which will restore you to health. South American Nervine is perfectly safe, and very pleasont to the taste. Delicate ladies, do not fail to use this great cure, lx.es,uso it will put til bloom of fresilnes"i3 and beauty upon your lips and, in your cheeks, and quickly drive away your disabilities and weaknesses.
