AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENOE.--
Whilea merry party consisting of a
number of members of the Sweet
families, were returning from a visit
with friends in Crediton, on Thursday
last, they met with a mishap, which
might have resulted fatally to some of
the party. They were driving leisurely
along, when, the road being icy, the
sleigh slid into the ditch, and upset
the occupants, pell iuell, into a couple
feet of water. The male members of
the party jumped and saved them-
selves, bat the ladies being encumber-
ecl with wraps and robes, bad to take
chancesand went to the bottom. As
quickly as possible, they were rescued
by the gentlemen, but not before they
were thoroughly drenched and fright-
ened. After being wrapped warmly,
the horses were galloped to Exeter and
the unfortunates provided with dry
garments to prevent colds and sick-
ness. A small child in the party had a
very narrow escape from death.
.A. snow storm, the Most severe and
blinding, of the season, raged on
Tuesday. At times it was impossible
to distinguish_ a person across the

STo• cit FEEDING.—Mr. Gibson,one of
the Government deputation of speak-
ers at the recent Farmer's Institute
meetings in this county discussed
stock feeding. He first pointed out
that a farmer who desired to make
money out of his stock roust feed them
properly. Two-fifths of the food given
was necessary to keep up the animal
heat, and if no more than that were
fed it could not be expected. that any
profit would be derived. ' This was
particularly the case in respect to
young and growing animals. With
g reached
maturity is
proper feeciin„ y
much earlier in the life of an animal
and the profit is proportionately lar-
ger. The elements necessary' to keep
up are muscle, fat and heat. The focl-
ders that produce these are corn for
fat and heat, and peas for muscle. A
knowledge of what fodders to feed in
order to obtain certain results was im-
portant. Whatever the condition, re-
quired,whether muscle or tat, the feed
should be such as will give the
best results. In the case of hogs, 1
0o much fat was not required and
hence it was that clover should be fed
in connection with corn in order to
get the lean streaks. The farmer also
had to consider the best means of en-
riching his soil and the most success-
ful feeders were those who made the
best return to the land, the excrement
being rich and valuable in accordance
with the quantity of the feed supplied
the stock. There is no general plan
for managing a farm that will apply to
all lo but there are certain princi-
ples which if as closely followed as
possible will give the best result. Mr.
Gibson touched on many interesting
points all along the line embraced in the
subject, pointing out the best foods to
feed in order to secure a certain result.
In reply to a question Mr. Gibson said
a well-balanced ration for fattening
cattle consisted of one part oat 'straw,
three of ensilage and any of the grains
possessing fattening elements.

on the various topics pertaining to
agriculture, The addresseswere
practical, which together with discuss-
ions
iscussions elicited, must have proved valu-
able to those engaged in farm work or
any of its various branches. The con-
