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.

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. FARMERS' INSTITUTE.—The meeting of the Fanners' .Cnstituteheld in Exeter on Thursday Iast was a great success considering the disagreeable weather, Ram poured nearly all day,but despite this,there was a large turnout of farm- ers to join in and hear the discussions 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.
