Month after month went by that we shall not soon forget 1 months of sleepless nights, fearful coughs, weakening night sweats, left my boy a mere shadow.

Halifax the Only Place to be Allowed Licenses, But Oniv For a Time, Halifax despatch: A drastic tem- perance bill was introduced in the House or Assembly to -day by Attor- mey-General MacLean. It is, iu effect, the enactment of prohibition in all parts of the Province (except the city of Halifax, and places in which the Scout Act is in force. There aro eight counties in Nova Scotia, under the Scott act, so that the whole Province outside of Halifax city is "dry." The provisions are more drastic than those of the Scott act- Strict provision has been made against the shipping of liquor into plates where the act is in force from places where it is not in force. A change has been made in respect to enttoroing the law. While the in- spectors appointed by the municipali- ties aro continued, provision has been made for an inspector -in -chief, to be appointed and paid by the Province. In the City of Halifax the number of lioenses is reduced to seventy, and after the population has been aecer- tained from the census to be taken in 1311, to a number which shall not exceed one license for every thousand inhabitants. For the administration of licenses in lfelafax a Board of Li- oenss Commissioners is created, three of whom are appointed by the City Council and twe members by the Government. On petition tf one-fourth of the ratepayers the ,:ity Council shall or- der that a vote be taken at the neat regular election of Mayor and Alder- men on the question whether licenses shall or shall not be granted in the city. If the -vote is against the grant- ing of lioenses ,prohibition is brought into force in the city of Halifax by proclamation, Tho provision of the Scott act as to the three-year period which must elapse before another vote can be taken is in the bill. At present there is only one license in the whole Province outside of Halifax— namely ,in Richmond coun- ty—which upon the expiration of the existing license will come under the act, so that the virtual prohibition al- ready existing is Strengthened by the mew measure. It prohibits , pale of liquor on any pretencew r, excepting for med- actnai purposes; use in some art or trade, or sacramental purposes, in which case qualified druggists are permitted to sell; for medicinal purposes there must be a. physician's certificate. A druggist cannot sell to any ono person for medicinal purposes more than twelve ounces of spirituous liquor, one gallon of ale or porter ,or one quart of ' wine, and no more than one sale may be made on a prescription. - Ike HALLEY'S COMET. Prof. Dubois, of Kingston, Gives Its Distances From the Earth. (Kingston Standard.) Prof. N. F. Dupuis has contributed the following interesting information in regard to Halley's cornet, and its dis- tance from the earth from now until June: The comet, as it will appear In a few days in the east before sunrise, will be but a small object on account of its great distance, and will require good, clear, visual powers to make it out. But, as it approaching the earth at an tver- age speed of forty miles per second, its increase in apparent size and importance ought to be pretty rapid. The follow- ing gives its distance from the earth from time to time in millions of miles, as this is the most convenient unit to take for such great distances: On April 20, 140 million miles. On April 25, 115 million miles. On April 30, 90 million miles. May 5, 70 million miles. May 10, 55 million miles. May 15, 35 million miles. May 20, 22 million miles. May 25, 30 million miles, May 30, 45 million miles - June 5, 70 million miles. June 10, 00 million miles. These distances are only approximate, but they are near enough for the pur- pose. s-® WANT MORE WAGES London Cigarmakers, Carpenters and Plumbers Want Increase.

Thorough drainage of rands needing it will increase the yearly returns from the land by about $20 per acre, as shown by reports of men who have drained. This is the salient fact brought out in Bulletin 174, just issued by the Department of Agriculture, Toronto, en- titled "Farm Underdrainage- Does It Pay?„ Underdrainage; During the past five years the am- ount of drainage being done has dou- bled, and thorough drainage, that is with lines of tile every four rods, more or less, is rapidly .increasing. Many areas are so flat or so irregular that it is impossible without a surveyor's level to tell just what is the best way of draining them. For the encouragement of farmers having such areas, the On- tario Agricultural College is renewing its offer of assistance in drainage sur- veying. During the summer the Col- lege has a special drainage staff en- gaged in this work. Anyone having drainage problems to solve may have the assistance of one of these drainage advisors by applying for the same. At the conclusion of each survey a public meeting is held in the field to discuss and demonstrate the best; methods of finding the fall, determining the grade, digging the ditch true to grade, etc. The only outlay to the farmer is the travelling expenses of one man, con- sisting of meals, if any, cartage of in- struments, if any, and railway fare at a cent a mile each way. As several sur- veys are usually made on the same trip the actual cash outlay for each man is small, frequently being $1, and seldom over $2, though. in case of an individual survey in a remote part it might reach $5 or more. The farmer is also expect- ed to meet the college representative at the station and return him to it, as well as accommodate him while on the survey. Those wishing to make application for a drainage survey should write to Prof. W. H. Day, Department of Physics, 0. A. C., Guelph, whereupon a regular ap- plication form will be sent. FARM NEWS. The Working Capacity of Horses After a Winter Rest. Many farmers seem to think that be- cause horses have been resting all win- ter they can do more work when spring conies. The reverse in true. If they have been in the harness almost every day in winter they will be hardy and strong for spring work, and a rush day's work will not injure theta, lint if they have been idle for a few weeks they can- not stand heavy- work without perspir- ing, becoming short of breath and show- ing fatigue within a short time. Often an hour's fast driving or heavy work will cause the horse to become ill, and in some eases to result fatally, or in dis- ablement for several weeks. The calf will do some better on whole milk than on skim milk. The int in the milk will make it fat, plump and in fine finish for market. For this reason the calf sold for veal should be fed more whole mink than one kept for milk or breeding purposes. Wnen ?do calf is 4 or 5 weeks old it will eat some bay, shell- ed corn n.nd ground feeds. If these are given daily In connection with the milk diet, veal can be produced cheaply. The main ideas in trimming a fruit tree is to remove diseased and superflu- out branches and for making an open top for letting in the air and light to all the foliage and fruit. In pruning vines al- ways cut just ahead of the bud, as the bud is the place where new growth, fruit or foliage is formed. A cow that has not the capacity to pro• duce milk can easily be overfed, but the cow that will give a large flow of milk is the one that should -•have the extra feed and the one that usually does not receive enough. Abundance of suceuleut feeds con- taining the proper materials in right pro- portions for producing milk, plenty of mild water, some salt, mild temperature and comfortable surroundings generally, are the conditions, for making a dairy cow do her best. A cow that will give a pound or more of butter a day is a good cow, and, in addition to a variety of feeds grown on the farm, she should be fed daily a small quantity of bran or cottonseed meal, As to the desirability of the use of the wide tires there can be no question, The moat casual observation will suffice to convince anyone of the damage which a heavily -laden wagon, equipped with the ordinary sharp, rounded, narrow tires, will produce on any road. There is also another and perhaps eenn greater advan- tage to be gained by the use of wide tires—viz., the increased hauling capa- city attained. Considerable attention should be given to ewes and young lambs. A new-born lamb is just about the most helpless thing on the fain, and frequently needs a little help to get started in life, but when fairly under way no young stock will give the owner more satisfaction; and it will pay to have patience and do all one can to asist them at first. Thirty-seven cows on the Cornell Ex- periment Farm averaged last year over 7,000 pounds of milk, which is 2,500 pounds more than the average in the State. The most interesting feature con- nected with this herd is the fact that it was started with cows averaging only 2,500 pounds of milk per year, and was raised to the present standard by breed- ing and selection, using pure-bred sires. The queen bee lives from two to five years, according to the manner in which she is raised. When raised by the nat- ural way, as by the swarming of the. bees, and the mother queen is two or more years old, she often Iives four or five years. The life of the workers variee from 45 days in the honey -gath- ering season to five or sometimes six months during winter;, taking the trine of October to April. Drones very seldom live; more than four or fire weeks in hot weather. The Vermont Experiment Station, af- ter careful investigation, announces that from the reports of growers the cost of producing a barrel of apples ranges from e5 cents to $1. The lower amount is un- doubtedly too low, while the maximum figure is too high. Princess Carlotta, a Holstein cow in the dairy herd• of the Missouri College of Agriculture, last year gave 18,405 pounds of milk, equal to 1,300 gallons, and from this 727 pounds of butter were made. On her record alone this cow is. worth about $1,500, as she made a net profit of 5010 in one year. The turkey crop of the United. States last year was about 6,500,000 head, of which Missouri produced 456,000. The Department of Agriculture is ex- perimenting with eorn shipped from China. Plants raised last year averaged less than 16 inches in height, with an av- erage of 12 green leaves at the time of tasseling. The ears averaged 51-2 inches in length, and 41.3 in greatest cireumfer- ence, with 16 to 18 rows of small grains. Delaware farmers are doing some great things. At Laurel, recently, the finest lot of white potatoes ever grown in the State were exhibited, hundreds of which. weighed over a pound each. They were of the Green Mountain variety. Numer- ous sweet potatoes weighing from 6 to 141places, ounces have been exhibited in various Professor L. R. Waldron, of the North Dakota Experiment Station, has deter- mined from a series of experiments that bumble -bees axe responsible for about 95 per cent of the clover seed produced, and that only a small amount is formed by natural self-pollination. The largest farm in the world is own- ed by one man in the State of Chihua- ltua, kfexieo, It measures 150 miles from north to south, 200 miles, from east to west, and contains about 8,000,000 acres, On this farm are raised about a million head of cattle, 7,000 sheep and 100,000 horses, Oklahoma is the only State which now has a Iaw requiring the teaching of agri- culture in all of its country school,.. It is expected, however, that similar laws will be passed in other States. The tobacco raisers of the United States realize about $87,000,000 a year from this crop alone. An ineb of water on an acre of land equals 22,000 gallons, or 230,000 pounds, or 100 tous. c.m SENT FHM HOME. Port Dalhousie Seaman Turned Back at the U. S.
