Temperance Is the unyielding con-
trol of reason over lust, and over all
wrong tendencies of the mind ; it
means abstinence from all things
not good and entirely innocent in
their character.
As long as the law gives the right
of liquor license, so long will the
wave of intemperance and bitterness
roll over the laud. Thousands of
homes will be rendered wretched ;
countless little ones run ill-olothed
through our streets, while the steady
tramp of marching recruits will
daily fill the decimated ranks of
those who have only lately gone
down into the shallow depths of a
drunkard's grave.
Farm Notes.
Dewan's Purple is the largest of
plums.
Plum orchards should be kept
cultivated.
There are Home excellent varie-
ties of seedlings.
Pond's Seedling is a good goner.
al purpose pium.
Hen manure is the best fertilizer
for strawberries.
Dampness in storage will greatly
help to keep apples.
Tender varieties will thrive better
when grafted on steal.
When properly cultivated straw-
berries are a paying crop.
No danger from freezing the trees
when the land is drained.
No use trying to grow apples
profitably upon sandy soil.
Damsons can be grown profitably
in most northern situatione.
Thinning plums gives as ranch
bulk in fruit, without exhausting
the tree.
Twenty barrels of Greeninge
were gathered off one tree last sea-
son.
Young apple trees should be
shaded during the first year after
planting.
Wood ashes when not placed too
close to the trees are invaluable to
.the soil.
Early Harvest do well only for a
/cm years. Of late they have been
.spotted.
Want of drainage has to do with
most of the winter killing in or.
nhards.
When trees are placed in a clove
warm situation, the fruit is most
liable to epot.
Sowing salt is beneficial to an or•
nhard, four hundred pounds per acre
not too much.
Dominion and the Sharpless are
mext in order. They come in after
the Wilson's are over.
Planting out freshly each autumn,
and taking only one crop, was con-
sidered the best system.
Every hundred barrels of apples
remove as much phosphoric acid as
100 bushels of wheat.
When planting on stiff clay, the
earth around the roots should be
mixed with broken bricks or stones,
Wilson's Albany strawberries (the
old Wilson) is still the favourite.
It fills the bill with both consumer
and grower.
Locality has a good deal to do
with successful apple growing ; al-
though failure frequently rosulsts
from bad stock. High and level
not so suitable as high and rolling
land for locating an orchard.
Thorough underdrainage is no.
ceesary to sunrise. Drains, where
an outlet can be had, should be five
feet deep. They will drain a great-
er area, and consequently not so
many required. At four feet deep
there is no danger of the roots
finding their way into the tilos.
Imperial Gage not desirable for
ebtpping, but excellent for home
consumption

Trees grow well till the route

theu fail, especially whore drain .ge
is difficult.
So many treoe from unreeriee fail
to fruit that it ie an nen question
whether it is not better ;o mese

Lombards are great beerers, and
one of the best varieties tor ship•
ping. But the trees soon beer
themselves to death.
A jackknife should bo large
enough to prune a tree with. Go
over an orchard once a inane), and
rub off the ehoote.
March is considered the best
mouth to prune large limbs. A
difference should be made between
butchering and pruning.
The spores, being microscopic,
readily blow to other treem.• Spray-
ing with sulphate of iron will help
trees to resist the attacks.
When seeds of plums are to be
sown they should be plaudit! the
earth directly the fleeli of the fruit
is retnoved, or they will soon become
too hard to germinate.
The knife should be instantly ap-
plied directly the black tome is
noticed. Leave all other work to
attend to cutting it out, and carry
to the stove for burning.

Rowand, who was looking after
the Browning property at , Morrie,
stated in court that he was acting

Pacific officials.
It is no wonder the people of
Galt are after the guod man's scalp
of the Berlin News. This is the
kind of compliment the paper Bays:
Our county jail is empty, but tell
it not to Galt, or we will soon have
a new batch of hard citizens. If
it were not for Galt the jail could al-
most be done aithout—or rented
for a woolen factory.
Town clerk 11. H. Whittaker, of
Salem, Ont., has a young Leghorn
rooster that possessed a wonderful
liking for music. When Mr. Whit -
taker's daughter Beate herself at the
piano to play he passes into the
room through the window or door,
flies upon the instrument, and,
after looking at the keys for a short
time, he proceeds to run up and
down on the keys, and the tones
thus made seem to fill him with
delight.
Neil Currie and the postmaster of
Ospringe, Ont., undertook to burn a
wasp's nut, which was built above
a door, by means of a torch made of
tow and dipped in turpentine, when
a drop of the bur ruing turpentine fell
among some dry pea straw, which
was in between the sheeting of the
building, and set it on fire, and, but
for the timely applioation of a few
pails of water, the whole building
would have been in ashes in a few
minutes.

A good joke has just leaked out
at the expense of a St. Thomas

on farmer's fences for nothing, to
paying a reasonable -price in the
local papers. A hoary headed yeo.

The Boboaygeon Independent re.
marks :—The mere show of veget-
ables in autumn, though good
enough in its way, if left standing
alone on its merits, is not worth
the cost, and that is just where the
weakness of the central show is
found. It is nothing more tleau a
show, that, pure and simple, and
one which the great bulk of the
small farmers are prevented by
many reasons from attending, it
brings a big crowd of sightseers to
the Mem hotels, but, ae a rule, the
real agricultural exhibits are scare-
cely noticeable, the show having a
strong tendency to aims business.
What is needed is that more en.
couragement be given to township
agricultural societies, which should
be made to partake moro of farm-
ers' institute in close associatipn
with the Provinoial College.
Nathan Gordon, a Towneend

Wheu passing through the yard the

ed him prone upon the ground.
The beast rolled him over, and in
its mad endeavor to gore him 'ems-
leeeded in breaking two of his ribs,
dislocated his collar bone, broke his
thumb and bruised him painfully.
Mrs. Gordon, seeing the dangerous
predicament her husband was in,
rushed to his aesietanoe, when the
bull turned on her and knocked her
down also, but the arrival of the
family dog on the scene distracted
the bullship's attention and gave
Mrs. Gordon time to open the gate
neat and drag her helpless husband
through, to a place of safety. Her
pluck saved her husband's life un.
