THE SACRED WELL. • Exactly the same, thing may be • witnessed to -day at the sazied well of Ste. Maebrubha, • in Loche Marco, Ross -shire, where is an an- cient oak tree, studded with count- less nails of all sizes, the offerings,of invalid pilgrims who came to wor- sbip and be cured. Pennies and half- peenies also are to be seen in mor - nous quantities driven edgeways in- to the tough bark, a,nd, a friend of the writer who visited the spot some little time back discovered in a cleft high up in the trunk what he took to be a. shillings On being ex- tracted, however, it proved to be a counterfeit. Probably the donor, finding that he could get no value for his coin in the natural world, concluded he might as well try as a last resource what effect it might have in the spiritual. • Of course, the poor cotters and others who flock to St. Maebrubha, with their nails and their pence do not for a moment admit that they are assisting at a pagan ceremony. But they most •undoubtedly are: Well worship has always oceupied an important place -in paganism, and the 'sacaad • oak tree before which each, pilgrim must thrice kneel ere humbly presenting his offerings is it but an obvious survival of the ' sacred, groves 'of Druidicial times? Similarly the final rite, in which the patient is towed thrice around the island at the stern of a boat with the course of the sun is clear- ly a .custom derived from. those dis- tant days when the adoration of the orb, the -visible source of light and life, was the ordinary and, obvious duty of those whom he benefited. But these are harmless obser- vances,. There is a dark side to the • picture. For instance, the cock has always played a prominent 'part in paganism the world over. In In- dia, in Ceylon, in Hayti, he is to this day openly sacrilicedby being buried alive. So, too, is he in parts of Scotland, but secretly, at dead of- night, with much mystery, the object being to effect a cure in cases of epilepsy and insanity, by propitiating the demon that is sup- • posed to dwell in tliose afflicted by these. terrible maladies. Also, it is said, it is by 'no. means unknown among the highland crofters for one of a herd of' cattle to be -interred alive after a similar fashion, as an offering to the spirit of the murrain, when that disease or anything re- sembling it is more than usually' prevalent. IT REQUIRED CARE. In a town in the wildest part of the Transvaal the cashier of a bank is an individual who for a time act- ed as a judge some years ago. One day recently he refused to cash a theque offered by a stranger. "The cheque is all right," he said, •"but the evidence you offer in identifying' yourself as the person to whose order it is drawn is scarcely Sufficient." "I've known you to hang a man on lose • evidence, •judge," was- -the stranger's response. - "Quite likely," replied the ex - judge; "but when it comes to letting go of cold cash we have to be ease - "NOW, 'REDDY,' SING.''

Towards the, end of the eighteenth eentury not a row of the pioneera of agricultnral progress reeognized in edacation and experinaent the most important 'agencies for future ad- vance, and as early as 1800 the 'sec- ond President of the English Board of Agriculture strongly urged ,the establishment ol eXperirnental farm with an, annual subsidy of $2,500. Even Oolumella, a Roman writer, complained that every art was taught methodically, whilst that of husbandry was neglected. And so, to this day, the same coma - plaint may, with some degree of truth, be made. Husbandry shoidd alma a More leading part of our ed - u, ation at public schools. In 1790 ta first chair of agriculture and ru, economy was founded in the University of Edinburgh, and en- dowed by Governmeat with $750 •a, year. For more than a hundred years it has exercised an unobtru- sive but stimulating influence on the farming practice of the whole of Bin- -baba As the end of the eighteenth century witnessed the formal initia- tion of education in agriculture, •so It was also the •period that gave birth to the scientific literature of the subject. While prior to this Iritzherbert, Masser, Ilfarkham, Blith, Weston, Tull, Dattlib, and others had described the agricultural conditions in Great Britain and oth- er countries, it was reserved for Lord Dundonald (an a:a:ester of the new general officer commanding the (dumdum militia and who recently er- arrived in, Ottawa), to give shape to the idea that was, doubtless, ve 91 GRADUALLY FORMING in the minds of the philosophers of id, the last decade of tbe eighteenth en I centti • and , p , Once m re ; all, the dependence of agriculture on eY' chemistry.

They deny that it makes the best or the motet satis- fying breachloe,f. Thirty years ago it was the custom in that country to stable flour suitable to the public taste, that would give satisfaction. to the consumers both in. town and country, by the Mixture of 75 per cent. of home-made wheats with 25 • per cent. of foreign. In fact, after an ordinarily favosable harvest • some, large country mills, favorably situated in gbod wheat districts, would grind 80 per cent., or even 100 per cent, of native grain. Fif- teen years ago the proportion of foreign wheat' that a neiller would be .compelled to use had increased to one half, whilst to -day it is not safe to make flour to meet the gen- eral demand from a mixture contain- ing more than 20 to 2.5 per cent. of English wheat, and there are where even this smell Proportion has had to be reduced to 15 per cent. Why this change? It is because British agriculturists, unlike their Canadian brethren, are not alive to the essential' quality of "strength" in their wheat. They do not rec- ognize as Canadian farmers do that strength is determined by the pre- sence in wheat of what is known as gluten,- and that of the right kind. And so to -day Canada is in every sense of the term "The Grenary of th World." TI • ar a snow y experience that the Government have - their interests at heart.

It is stated that thousands of pieces are sold weekly in time shape of meltons, serges and the like, and that the art of finishing as practised in Yorkshire has reach- ed such a state of perfectima that it is now quite possible to hide frOin the ultimate buyer the defects of the fabric, particularly hiding the foun- dation material of the cloth. - In the 'Yorkshire Daily Observer of March 29th last, reference is made to a cheap class of coverts brought out by: some leading manufacturees, composed of a mixture of worsted warp, and a cheap carded weft terser ed Angola a hibh sounding name for a blend of cotton with mewl): Having a satin, or Venetian -weave, the weft is thrown on The heels of the 'cloth, leaving the face with a worsted appearance.

Can- adian best patents show wet gluten 31.22, and dry gluten 12.33, as against 26.17 wet gluten, and 9.79 dry gluten in the best grades that can be found to compare with it at all. Then take the percentages of albuminoids or protein, the most important part from a nutritive, point of view, and what are the re - 'sults?. By the same comparison Canadian patents come out at 12.59 per cent., as compared with 11.27 in the other samples. British bakers have personally demonstrat- ed that not only is Canadian flour unsurpassed ' for whiteness, sweet- ness and strength, and that it is unS „ adultorated, • but that from it they, cami make not only the best quality, ae- of bread but the largest quantity per britrel. THREE TESTS IN LONDON gave the following results, each us- ing 100 pounds of flour; 146 pounds of bread; 151 pounds of bread, and 152 pounds of bread. Ti 1884 Canada exported in value wheat, $812,923; in the following year it had risen to $1,966,287; then it leapt up to $3,025,864 in 1886, and In 1900 had grown to $11,995,488. Flour that in 1384 only amounted to 31,025,995, in 1886 had risen to $1,744,969, and last year toed the mark at 31,015,- 226.
