This linoorktot :Matter,
No other industry so thoroughly affects
the general welfare of this country as agri-
culture. No other industry is capable of
euoh great development. No other calling
or profession at the present time so much
demands the attention and etudy.of the
people. President Mills of the Ontario
Agrioultural College thus refers to the
necessity of agricultural instruction:—
" Two things should not be forgotten :
(1) That farming is the main industry in
Ontario; (2) That whatever improves the
condition of farmers and makes them more
suooeesful workers, benefits- all classes of
the people. Thane are facts which no one
will question ; and, because of their im-
portance, some of our best educators and
wisest statesmen are of opinion that the
teaohers in the Public schools of this Prov-
ince should, incidentally or otherwise, give
some instruction in agriculture and one or
two of the sciences related thereto ; should
impart as much reliable information as
possible about agricultural pursuits; and
do all in their power to inspire their pupils
with a love for the eimplioity, independ-
ence, and healthfulness of farm life.
Realizing the Importance of this work
and believing that valuable instruction in
agriculture may be given by simple lectures
to children—conversationn ou soil?, plants,
and animals—so simple that even the lower
classes in a Public school may understand,
so attractive as to interest the youngest
scholars, and of such a character as to
benefit all kinds of pupils, whatever their
occupation in after life—the Hon. John
Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, with the
hearty cooperation of the Minister of Edo
cation, has instructed the staff at the
Ontario Agricultural College to offer, to the
teachers of Ontario, a short summer course
of instruction in agriculture and the sciences
most closely related thereto.
The great majority of the people of thie
province are dependent on our Public
schools for the whole of their secular
education. They have not the time or the
means to attend a High School, an Agri-
cultural College, or TJniversity. With such
instruction and training as they get in the
Public schools, they are expected to dis-
charge the duties of citizenship and make an
honest living for themselves and their
families. Hence the Public schools are in
some respects the,most important schools
in the country ; and, in connection with
these schools, two things are of the greatest
moment : (1) That the course of study be
the beat possible, and (2) that the teachers
be fully equipped for their work.
The primary aim of Public school teach.
era should undoubtedly be to teach well the
elements of a general English education—
to give a, thorough, exact, and practical
course of instruction in reading, writing,
spelling, arithmetic,English grammar, coin -
position, and geography; in other words,
to make all their scholars good readers,
good writers, correct spellers, good arithme-
ticians, and correot, if not elegant, speak-
ers and writers of English. This work is
of fundamental importance, and nothing
should be allowed to interfere with it in
any Public achool. We insist upon it as
the first duty of all Public) school teachers;
but at the same time, we maintain that,
in this rovince at least, there is also
another duty, which, though secondary, is
by no means unimportant, viz., to consider
the occupation wnich moat of our children
willfollow on leaving school, and, as, far as
possible, give them instruction, not only in
the elements of a general education, but
also in some of the principles that underlie
successful practice in the industry by
means of which thev will have to earn a
livelihood for themselves and those depend-
ing upon thorn."
The same question has been carefully
considered by the Provincial Trustees As-
sociation. From the report adopted at
their last annual meeting the following
quotation is made :—
"One cause for the growing dislike of
farm life is the feeling of drudgery due to
the want of an intellectual interest in the
operations performed. The beat way to
arouse interest and thus counteract the
feeling referred to is to make ec, called
'teaching' of agriculture an inquiry into the
Melons why operations familiar to all rural
pupils are systematically performed. The
teacher who knows how to sok the right
kind of questions can easily set his pupils
thinking and inquiring, and he
may in this
way become a centre of influence and a
source of inspiration to a whole neighbor.
hood. One such teacher quietly pursuing
his investigetory and suggestive treatment
of farm life and work from week to week
might accomplish more for his d istriat than
a series of farmera' institutes could do in
the way of au agricultural revival; and if
agriculture is over to become a subject of
deep and wide-opread scientific interest to
the people of this province, it must be by
fixing upon it the attention of those who
are children now, and who will be the men
and women of the next generation.
It is frequently objected that teachers
who do not know the subjeot cannot teaoh
it, and there is force 101 the objection. It
must be borne in mind, however, that
there are few teachers who do not know
something about agrioulture from practical
experience; that all teachers have easy
access to an admirably arranged and thor-
oughly modern manual on the subject; that
the true attitude of the expert teacher is
not that of a doginatist, but that of an
inquirer in this or any other subjecit; that
if he starts questions his pupils will be able
to fled answers to many of them in tho
experience of the farmers themselves., and
above all that tho true lunation at the teach-
er is not to fill the 'hinge of the pupils
with facts and extilanatione, but to make
thein expert at observing facts and finding
out reasons for thentaelves—not to supply
them with a mass of amoud.hand informa-
Hon, but to equip them with a method of orig..
nusi inveatigatiou. This he can effectively
do while he himself is a learner. The objecu-
tion is likely to be further obviated by the
institution at the Provincial Agrieeltural
College of summer courses apeoially adapted
to teachers. If school boards insist, as they
have a right to ati >Mats, that the teachers

ers were in attendance, Al the olose they

ed with the work clone, The Minister of
Agrieulture, Hon. John Dryden, again
asked the Legislature during the recent
Session and was granted it small appropria.
tion to continue the work RI July ot the
present yeer. The staff of the College will
forego one month of their holidays in order
to thus advance the interests of agriculture
in the rural sehools. It is of the utmost
importance to the country at large that a
hearty response shell be made to thin offer.
The key to the situation is in the hands of
the trustees. If they insist upon agricul-
tueal instruotion being given in the echoola
and are wilting to ofter a little extra in-
ducement to good teachers who qualify
themselves to teach agriculture, President
Mills will have a host of rural teachers ap.
plying for admiesion to these classes.
Ontario must not fall behind the Prairie
Province in this matter. Last year the
Deputy -Minister of Agriculture for Ontario
was invited to address the Provincial
Farmers' Institute of Manitoba on this
subjeot. The Institute appealed to the
Legtelatitre. The Legislature adopted a
resolution advocating agricultural education
in the schools and the Education Depart.
ment of that province is now completing
the plans for the introduction of agricul-
ture as a .subject of instruction into their
schools.
The people of Manitoba move rapidly.
Those of Ontario move more slowly, but
nisyhap more surely.
Agriculture cannot be taught unless our
teachers are properly qualified. The Legis.
lature has provided the funds for, and the
Agrioultural College the °purse of instruc-
tion to qualify the teaohers who cannot
afford to take snob a course unless the
trustees encourage them.
Let the trustees do their duty.
ON THE SLAFESHIP CORA.
Hundreds of Wretches racked so That
They Could Not Stir.
When I had divided my small mew into
watches and had put a man at the helm, I
had a moment's time to look into the cabin
which was to be my home, writes Lieuten
ant Hall. There were two cabins adjoining
each other, with four state rooms in the
forward one and two in the after. Here,
in each of these reams, I found one or two
negro maidens, while several hovered in the
corners and orouehed upon the sofa and on
the floor. Like the rest of the slaves they
were as nude as when born. They looked
terribly frightened and evidently consider-
ed me a sort of "lord high executioner."
When daylight appeared they were taken
to the quarters of the other negress-
59.
The next morning found us rolling in a
a dead calm, and as the day drew on the
ntense heat and glare made the slave ship
a den of indescribable horror. The slaves, of
course, were brought on deck or they would
have suffocated and died—a course which
was followed every day from early light
till sunset so long as I had them with me.
They filled the waist and gangways in a
tearful jam, for there were over seven hue.
dred men, women,boys andyoung girls. Not
even a waist cloth can be permitted among
slaves on board ship, since clothing even so
light would breed disease. To ward off
death, ever at work on a slave ship, I order-
ed that at daybreak the negroes should be
taken in squads of twenty or more and giv-
en a salt water bath by the hose pipe of the
pumps. This brought renewed life after
their fearful nights on the slave deok.
After their first bath under my charge Mr,
Fairfax came aboard bringing oarpenters,
boatswain's mates and sail -makers, for the
ship's rigging, sails and stud spars had been
badly injured aloft by our fire. That broil-
ing day and the next these gangs were at
work repairingdamages, while the Oen.
stellation remained rolling near at hand.
In the meantime I had been busily en.
gaged in having an open lattice bulkhead
put upon the slave deck, clone enough to
prevent passing, and yet sufficiently open to
give what ventilation could be obtained.
The object was to make a complete separa-
tion of the sexes, which were about equal
in numbers. Windsails were provided for
ventilation, but with all this, no one who
hoe never seen a slave deck can form an
idea of its horrors. imagine a deck about
20 feet wide, and perhaps 120 feet long and
5 feet high. Imagine this to be the plaoe
of abode and sleep during long, hot, breath-
less nights of 720 human beings I At sun.
down, when theywere carried below, train-
ed slaves received the poor wretches one by
one, and laying each creature on his aide
in the wings, packed the next against him,
and the next, and the next, and so on, till,
like so many spoons packed away they fitted
into each other, a living mass.
,Tust as they were packed, so Must they
remain, tor the pressure prevented any
movement, or the burning of hand or foot,
until the next morning when from their
terrible night of horror they were bought
on deck once more, weak and worn and sick.
Then, after all had. come up and received
the bath mentioned, there was the invariable
horror of bringing up the bodies of those
who had died during the night. One by
one they were oast overboard—a splash the
only ceremony. For thirty odd fearful
nights and days this routine was endured
before 1 finally landed these creatures. At
the time I write of, I was a slay e.owner
but I had only known happy, well.fed and
carefully attended people, who were as a
part of a large family. Sinoe that service
on the Cora, I have known how muoh it
cost to Ohrietianize the negroes, and I often
see in reverie the rigid forms as they fell
day by day, into the tropic waters.

NEWS FROM JERUSALEM.
• —
Trade With Great Britain—The Jaffa
Jerusalem Railway—Building 18
Betels.
The report of Mr. Dickson, British Con-
sul at Jerusalem, on the trade of his dis-
trict, contains several items of iaterest.
Trade with Great Britain in 1393 showed
some falling off as compared with 18921 but
notwithstanding there bas been a steady
increase for several years past. It isnoted
that English ales' which had been driven
from the marketby the lighter beers of
Austria and Germany, are again finding
favor. It is sold at from 9d. to Isper
quart bottle.
The Jaffa -Jerusalem Railway hardly ap.
pears to carry as much traffic as might have
been expected. There is a daily passenger
train each way and also two goods trains.
Still a considerable amount of merchandise
is conveyed by camels between the two
places, on account of both the Jaffa and
Jerusalem railway stations being situated
at some distance from the town. The rail.
way company, in order to give further
facilities to merchants, employ oamels for
the transport of goods from the warehouses
to the stations. It is rumored that the line
will be prolonged to Nablous and Gaza.
Buildings of various kinds continue to be
erected in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and
the city Is fast outgrowing its former limits.
On the western side houses have increased
so rapidly within the last few years that
quite a large suburb has arisen where for-
merly fields and vineyards existed. Every
available piece of land is now being bought
up by private persons or by benevolent so-
cieties and missions, and already the name
of "Modern Jerusalem " has been given to
this new quarter, The lateab enterprise
suggested is the placing of a steam launch
and lighters on the Dead See. If this were
done, the produce of Moab, which is a
country rich in cereals, fruit, and cattle,
could then be ferried tiCr085 10 a few hours
in the lighters in tow of the steam launch,
instead of having to be conveyed by cara-
vans round the north or south end. of the
Dead Sea, entailing a journey of from four
to Eve days.
The Bullet Proof Coat.
For some time past meagre details have
been reaching this country regarding Tailor
Dowe, of Mannheim, Germany, and his
bulletproof coat. The latest news in this
connection is to rho effect that the Surgeon's
Congress now in session at Berlin has in
vestigated Dowe's protective cuirass and
has reached the couclusiou that the time is
near at hand when there will be little or no
blood spilled in battle, How well the sur-
geon:: are pleased at this trospoot is, of
ciourse, a matter of conjecture, The pos-
sibilities suggested by the assertion that
Dowe, when attired in his bullet-proof coat
oould not feel the bullets fired at him at a
range of twenty-five feet are startling, If
bullets are to be rendered as harmless as
ps.per pellets and swords as useless as bin
trumpets the coming war in Europe will
have to be fo ugh t with new weapons. That
this emergency is likely to arise has im-
pressed the mind of another ingenious Ger-

be steadily worked every day and can be
readily kept in a good condition under it,
will often break down very rapidly if push-
ed for even a short season beyond their
strength.
It pays to feed, water and groom regu-
larly mad carefully, to make as comfortable
as possible, to give only wholesomenourish-
hag food, and to use all reasonable ears to
keep thrifty, so that if occasion comes when
it may be necessary to urowd for a season

the teams and their ability to do the work

Aud with them as with the work, ib is
much easier to keep up well than to get a
little behind and then attempt to get up.
Parsimony in Feeding.
The firat essential thing in stock raising
is to provide an abundance of first class
foods of sufficient variety, and the next
thing in importance is a judicious use of it.
Animals may be injured by overfeeding as
well as by starving. Too much food is
especially dangerous if the animals are
confined too strictly to a single article of
diet or a one-sided food. An article like
corn is almost wholly composed of staroh or
carbon and another product may contain.
too large a proportion of nitrogen or phos.
phate, while a proper combination of
these would prove profitable as a balanced
ratibn, requiring a less amount of product
to secure the same result.
A dairyman of experience says : Parsi-
mony is one, and a very mean thing, and
economy is another most excellen tthing.
They are widely different, yet it is common
for them to be confounded and mistaken
for one another. Not unfrequently, men
who think they are practising the virtue,
economy, are really guilty of the vice, par.
simony. 'Phis mistake occurs in all various
walks of life, bot 1 am today only inter-
ested in some forms of it in dairy practice.
There is much talk in the papers and from
the platform, by writers and lecturers, as
to the neoesalty for cheapened production.
Now I am painfully aware of the vise.
like grip of competition on priues, and the
consequent extreme ditlioulty of making
both ends meet, but I em quite sure that
the cheapening may be over done—that in
trying to cheapen production, one may
injure the product and seriously impair the
producer. In trying to reduce the cost of
cow food, one may spoil the quality of the
butter and injure the cows. quality
is such
a thing as shoddy in food as well as in
cloth.
Row to Dehorn Cattle.
There are a great many ingenious and
useful devices for removing the horns from
grown cattle besides the familiar meat saw.
The better plan, when the opportunity is
afforded, is to remove the little knobs from
the calf's head that eflectually arrests the
growth of horns. Prof. Roberts, of Cornell
University, advises that the earlier the ap-
plication is made in the life of the oalf the
better. So soon as the growth of horns
can be detected, he takes stick caustic
potash and clips the hair closely from the
skin over the little horn and moistens the
spot with water, to which soap or a few
drops of ammonia have been added to dis-
solve the oily searetion of the skin. Care
must he taken not to moisten theskin except
over the horn. Dip the end of the stick
caustic) in water until it is slightly softened,
and then rub on the moistened surface of
the little horn. This operation is repeated
from five to eight times until the surface of
the horn becomes slightly sensitive. It
amuses the calf no pain, a scab forma which
drops off in a month. or twos leaving a per.
fectly smooth poll. '

NERVOUS DISE ok SES.
As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has beets
Ale to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired di ,
ticm. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the bloo a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow., and nerves is ths
result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the,
right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is this
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not cons
tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de-
rangement.
