TN East and West Algoma the Reform candidates were re•elected by acclamation, on Thursday of last week, for the Local Legislature. They are H. A. Lyon and Tames Commee. The reason these elec• lions are held in the summer months is to overcome the difficulty of getting the writs to the proper aulhoritiee unless during naviga- tion. THE Toronto News gays :—The objectionable charaoter of the Fran- chise Act could not well be more clearly demonstrated then by the amendment to it carried before pro- rogation, by which the unrevised lists of last year will have to be used during bye -elections. The plea is that the cost of the revision is so great that it would not be worth while to incur it. Therefore a large number of citizens who have chang- ed their residences Or arequired the qualification in the inteval will lose their votes. But, us between two evils, it is probably as well that the country Inas been given It respite from the machinations of the revis- ing barrister, and the heavy expense entailed.

BV W114. 5 1 weirs, C,a., raQ188808 or AeinCOLTUDE, Cows, in the ordinary course of man- agement, aro not the best agents to teat the exact effects of foods on dairy pro- ducts, because of their incoming and be- ing in calf—so irregularly and so long, often, We do not know what, and how much, to allow for these interruptions, and for the growth of the unborn calf, Last year Professor Grenside made sev- eral experiments in spaying cows and heifers, as explained in the Annual Re- port. We took advantage of this and used one of the cows for this experi. ment. She is a common Canadian grade, eight years old, had her last calf in March, 1886, and was sprayed on September 6th following. This cow was a natural milk• er and required no education to make a show, hence we hare much satisfaction in her conduct since altering. After this eomewhatsevero change and up to the end of January, 1887, she gave a regular daily record of 22 ilia., and of 19.6 Ibe. during February, just before being set aside for these teats. During February her milk gave the following analyeie Solids other Total Water. Fat. than fat. solids. 86.368 8.994 9141 18.185 Hence, not a rich milk ; the food then, also, being our general ration of 3 lbs. bran, 15 lbs. hay and 40 lbs. turnips, i.e., 1 : 5.90. On March let, six days previous to act- ual commencement of test,ng and just one year after calving, this cow was put upon a daily ration of 18 lbs. bran, 9 lbs. timothy and clover hay, with 30 /be. slic- ed turnips, all mixed and dry. This was continued for twenty-eight days, when, after an interval of six days, the ration was changed to 10 /be. of a mixture of equal weights of ground peas, oats, bar- ley and Dorn, with 9 lbs. hay and 30 lbs. sliced turnips, as before, and continued for over twenty-eight days, In this arrangement our object was to test the effeote, through such a steady animal source, of a large quantity and similar volae of bran on the one hand, and on the other, of the mixture of grain, that has hitherto with us given the cheap- est and one of the most rapid reenlist in fattening store steers. With the bran regulating ration, the daily milk was 18.8 lbs., and of the fol- lowing charaoter by eight analyses : Solids other Total Water. Fat. than fat. solids. 86.952 8.918 8.760 12.678 With the ration regulated' by the mix- ture of grain we had a daily milking of 19.5 lbs„ and this analysis : 87.255 4.718 8.037 12.755 The nutritive ratio of the bran diet is 1 : 5.04 and of the grain mixture, 1. : 5.67. Details of management are similar to the four oowe previously recorded.

Brandon Sun : From all districts, to the north, south, east and west, the crop reports are of a most assuring character.

'With a few more direct lines, to cave time, Canada, Ontario especially, will be well supplied with railroads as at the present some of them are hardly paying for the rolling stock. Timms does not appear to be much doubt as to the certainty of the C. P. R. line being built from Campbellville to Guelph and from there to Goderich. Just th., route to be taken does not appear to he de- cided on yet, but the officials have stated that engineers will shortly outline a provisional survey. The various towns in line with the two objeetive points, viz --Guelph and Goderich, are alive to their local iu- terests and it will bo well for our railway committee to be on the alert and lose no opportunity to benefit Brussels. Some people say wait um til something is more definitely ar- ranged but we may wait a little too long by being too cautious and allow more enterprising places to take the start of ug. A charter has been granted for the road and before long it will be deoided as to the course to be taken. AA, more direct line cannot be arranged than through Elmira, Listowel, Brussels and Blyth. We want the road, so keep the ball moving. maY. We learn meantime from these : (1) That a very large daily consump- tion of wheat bran—about two and a -half patent pails full—with roots and hay, giving the comparatively vhigh nutritive ratio of 1 : 5.04, did not produce either an equal quantity or quality of milk, as did the same value of a mixture of grain with similar roots and hay. Indeed the milk was reduced in quality 17 per cent., which would be equal to about one-half of a pound of butter per hundred of milk ; or, perhaps it would be better to say that the mixture of grain raised the quality of the milk 20 per cent., as the normal con- dition of it previous to experiment wan just about equal to that got from bran feeding. (2) That the highly concentrated and indigestible character of the bran of wheat, now to well cleaned of flour by rocess, can evidently be the new milling p fed in over quantity to miloh cows. (3) That, nevertheless, the shell or skin of one grain, called wheat, was able to maintain animal life and waste, and at the same time give daily products only 2 cents less in value per day, a fact of immense importance in what may be termed a wheat dairying country. As we must be brief in these bulletins, I cannot comment more at preeent. My next bulletin, which should follow this one without delay, will show some very unexpected results in the feeding of store steers with bran against a mixture of grain, and in the Annual Report we shall treat of the value of manure by analysis in connection with all these feeding ex- periments. PRINCIPAL GnANT has been preach- ing a rousing patriotic sermon at Winnipeg, full of vigorous and time- ly denunciation of "the course of partyism," which, as he truly says, is ruining Canada. He urged his hearers in future to vote for men, and not for parties, in the hope that enough good men may be brought to the front to forma third party with clearly defined views. The supremo aim of such a party, in his estimation, should be the substitu- tion of genuine government of the people for government by party, Principal Grant, however, cannot free himself from the Responsible Government tradition, and speaks of the Parliament appointing the Executive instead of as now, "the Executive using every conceivable means to appoint and keep subject to itself tho Parliament."

Ever since he did the daring net be has been drinking very heavily, On the evening of June 25 he was missed, and a search wasimade for him near where his rope was stretched across the river, the result being that near the bottom of the incline was found his lifeless body, badly out around the head. There was n large gash leading from the nose over the top of his head, so that his brains protruded, and death must have been instantaneous. It is supposed that after recovering somewhat from the ef. feots of drink he attempted to walk his rope and fell upon the rocks below.

The verdict she got is now sot aside on the ground that she had signed a ticket, one of the con- ditions of whioh was that the company should only be responsible for baggage to the extent of $100, and on further ground that negligent construction was not the same as negligent management on the road.° Miss Sophia Duff, a Hamilton girl, and an officer in the Salvation Army, was recently stationed in Strathroy, where a young lawyer named McDougall fell deep- ly in love with her.
