CLEMENT'S WORK.
002. Rinlington Served Oontinu-
ously Through the
War,
With regard to the generals 'who
Aave distinguished themselves in the
pfd.under Lord I ftcheeer's cern-
:mond ono of the best proofs of their
ability is the regard in which they
aro held by the Boons.. Since the
termination of hostilities there have
been many opportunities of converse
ins' with our former enemies and
learning their opinion of our work
in the hold, says a letter from Pre.
thrift. For`instnnco, 1)otarey thinks
and assorts' that the best general he
has ever fought against is General
Clements, and ho declares that the
sheet piece of work ever done by a
British ()Cheer was the saving of the
camp at Nooitgedacht, This opinion
has always been held by those who
served under Clements on that mem-
orable oeeusion, and the military at-
taches in snaking their reports give
greater elace to the retreat of Gen-
eral Clements from Colesberg than
to any other operation set the war.

The division of the army into

tain, commanded a column through-
out the whole of the irregular op-
erations. lie was one of the first

we possess, but he has, withal, a
caution which has prevented him
from ever getting into trouble. He
is the inventor of the great drive
system, which has more than any-
thing else coutributed to the end of
the war.
Coming to the main portion of the
aunty, it is a somewhat invidious
task to select any one arm for dis-
tinction, but no one will gainsay
that the fighting honors of this war
have fallen to the gunners. Though
often hard pressed, they have never
yet failed. There is probably not a
single instance of a gunner having
run away.
There is one regiment of cavalry,
the ilth Lancers, which, as supplying
good scouters, good shots, and well-
trained men, has earned the admira-
tion of the whole army, A glance
at their casualty list will show the
work they have gone through.
So far from disparaging our intel-
ligence, the Boers have had a very
high opinion of the way In which we
have forestalled their plans on very
many occasions and n.nticipated their
movements. It is not perhaps gen-
erally known that during De Wet's
wanderings we nearly always had an
agent accompanying him, whose re-
ports have been most. valuable. When
he made bis celebrated incursion 'm -
to Cape Colony in the early part of
1001 we knew of lois intention, and
were able to provide for it weeks be-
fore.

TO DREDGE TSE STEWART.
Former Commissioner of the Yu-
kon Has Undertaken It.
• 'William Ogilvie, formerly Com-
missioner of the Yukon, has sailed
from Vancouver for the Stewart
River on the Upper Yukon, taking a
large and expensive outfit, with
which to dredge for gold along the
bed of the Stewart. Mr. Ogilvie ar-
rived in Seattle recently from a
trip through the east. We arrived
at the coast by way of the Southern
States, steeping at several points in
California,
"1 asked to be relieved from my
position as commissioner to under-
take the work in which I am now
interested," said Mr. Ogilvie. "When
I came out from Dawson I found
wo were not nearly as ready for
operations as 1 had thought, and
more than a year has passed in pre -
peeing our machines and other
paraphernalia.
"Results of investigations which
we carried on convinced us that
gold in eonslderahle quantities ex-
isted in the bed of the Stewart
River, and may be obtained with-
out great difficulty. The necessary
privilege was obtained from the
Dominion Government, giving us the
right to carry on mining operations
of elicit nature as we clesdrod. Our
dredger has cost us about $20,000
not including transportation, which
is an item.
"If sVe are suceessiiil in extracting
gold from the mud in the bottom al
the. Stewart River," continued Mr.
Ogilvie, "it will be evident that
deposits exist in many parts of the
Yukon bed, and a cargo, area of
mining ground will be added to that
now worked in the vicinity of Daw-
500,"..

GREEN ' FOOD ..ND ROOTS
HINTS ON ECONOMICAL PORI,
PRODUCTION.
The farmer May Make Forage
Plants the Chief Item of
His Pig Feed;
In the past some oojections have
been raised by the packers re the
use of forage plants and roots for
pork production, but the light of
recent experiments would seem do
show their fears or objections
groundless ; in fact, the good in-
fluence of a considerable proportion
of green feed or roots in the ration
of a pig can scescely be overestimat-
ed. It has long teen known that
skim milk has a most beneficial in-
fluence upon the thrift of tho pork-
ers and quality of the pork, even
when the amount fed forms only a
email part of the ration. Green food
diad roots seem in a large measure
to be capable of supplementing the
new,—in view of the tremendous ex-
pansion in the Canadian bacon in-
duetry,—quite inadequate supply of
dairy by-products, for use he pig
feeding. The farmer whose condi-
tions permit may go even further
than to use forage plants as a
supplementary food. He may even
make them the chief item of his pig
feed if he is careful to use a good
proportion of grain, (oats, peas and
barley), during the last month of
the feeding period.
As the season is rather far ad-
vanced for an exhaustive discussion
of forage erops suitable for this pur-
pose, I shall confine my remarks to
such as are
STILL SEASONABLE,
Clover.—Probably no crop is bet-
ter adapted to young pigs than
clover, and a bit of clover stubble
used for this purpose will give very
good returns. So far as our experi-
ments go, the pork so produced is
of good quality.
Rape.—Of all the crops used here
so far for pasturing pigs, rape quite
easily stands first. The principal
points in its favor are :-(1) its
quick growth, (2) its wide range, as
it grows well in almost auy kind of
land, (3) its long season, as it may
be sown as late as September and
still do fairly well, (4) its evident
palatability, as the pigs eat it
greedily, and (5) its good effect
upon the quality of the bacon, pro-
ducing as it does, almost invariably
a good firm carcass. Rape may be
expected to be fit for pasturage from
6 to 8 weeks from date of sowing.
It should be sown in rows about 24
inches apart, since when so grown it
gives the greatest return per acre,
and is best adapted for pasturing.
it should be sown fairly thickly in
the rows, say three pounds of seed
per acre. An acre may he expected
to carry from 20 to 40 pigs
through a season, depending on the
season and the condition of the
crop when the pigs are turned in.
Vetches.—Vetches also are valuable
as forage for swine, and may Ie, un-
der exceptional conditions. sown
late in the season. Especially is
this true of the hairy Vetch, which
species las The peculiar quality of
growing up again after having been
cut off and eaten down.
Oats—Probably no green crop will
give a better return in pork than
oats. They may he sown late or
early in the season at the rate of 5
or 6 bushels to the acre and the
pigs turned on about a month after
they germinate. The fault of this
crop is that it lasts only a short
Utile, as it sloes not seem to be able
to recover when once eaten down.
Artichokes. — Another crop of
great value for pork production is
the artichoke. It should be sown
late in the fall or very early in the
spring. The pigs may he allowed to
feed an it in October and the early
spring. They will do the harvesting
themselves. This is a most excellent
crop for brood sows in si'r'ing and
autunm.

BRITISH-. SHIPPING.
Official Returns' Show That She Ie
Still Mist,ess of the Seas.
The official annual statement of
navigation and shipping of the. Unit-
ed Kingdom, issued recently, shows
that in one major industry, at
least, Great Britain is more than
holding its own.
Last year she built morn ships
than ever before, her shipbuilders
sold more to foreign buyers than in
any other year, the tonnage regis-
tered under her flag is increasing,
and more sailors are employed.
In 1901 vessels with a total ton-
nage of 775,681 tees weree
finist
ed
in British yards, being an increase
of just 40,000 tons over the
previous year. The total tonnage
of British merchant shipping was
9,524,496 tons, or 130.000 tons
above 1900. Tho sailors employed
numbered 247,973, or slightly more
than before. And vessels totalling
over 200,000 tons were built for
foreign buyers,
It is• only possible to realize how
much this involves the world su-
premacy of British shipping by tak-
ing one tangible instance. During
the last year more than one-half the
imports brought to the 'United
States—the chief rival—camp there
on British ships, and two-thirds of
the American exports were taken
out under the British flag,
The figures of the new return show
that the British sailor is steadily be-
ing replaced by the foreigner on our
own ships. The number of lascars
has increased in two years from
38,805 to 37,431. At the same
time the number of other foreign
sailors has gone ulu,to a smaller ex-
tent, while the numt'er of I3ritish,
sailors has declined.
But the returns on th0 whole are
exceedingly reassuring, showing that
England is still, as before, mistress
of the seas.

printer in the employ of the Dank
Note Company of Wellington St.
Some seven or eight years ago Mr.
Kent was seized with Bright's Dis-
ease which gradually grew worse
till he had to quit work and was
confined to his bed where he remain-
ed for some months.
Physicians were in constant attends
anCe upon him, but instead of im-
proving
he gradually grew worse
and worse.
At last he became so low that his
body became terribly bloated and
his skin like tanned leather. IIe had.
convulsions, which increased in fre-
quency and the intervals between
theeo silasms found him so weals
that he was barely conscious.
One night after a particularly bad
spell the physicians told his wife
that he could not live till morning.
A messenger was doypatcbed for a
box of Dndd's Kidney Pills which
were immediately brought to the
dying man.
Mr. Kent did not die. On the con-
