Prof. W. fL Day has recently •been. making some calculationson the finan- cial side of drainage. A farmer has .fifty acres that is rather Wet, ° tut although not drained it gives, say, $15 per acre. The value of the'.erop for five years' in succession, together with compound in- terest, would be $4,144. at the . end of the fire years. 3.f, however, be were to drain ten acres of the ,land wall year, and if the drainage meetaaed the value of the erop by $10 per, Are (which is a low estimate), then t e value of the crop for five years, lee entcrest, would be $5,748. Aftei payi rX for the drain- age, with interest, he Would, have left $4.124, the same witein20 as if be had not drained, but if he rained the whole 50 acres at once then the five crops, with interest, would be worelt $6,905. :]'his, after paying for the drainage would leave him a balaeces of $5,121, which is $977 more than if he bad not drained. During the next five-year period drain- age by the xnstafimeee plan would net him 81,604 nxore thh'n` not to drain at all; and the eounpiete dialeage would en- rich stint by $2,704 more than uo drab -l- ege. The price allowed for drainage in the calculation was $28 per iacre, and the in- crease in the crop was placed at $10 per acre. As a matter of fact the increase is usually worth xnuen -Tore than this, so that the eomputation:ie somewhat un- fair to drainage, however it is better to err on the safe side. But the increase Memoir is not the only return from drainage. The value of the land is largely incerased. This is illus- trated in the case of a certain farm in Lincoln County. le was bought for 80,- 000 6;000 about two years ago. Last year $'2,- 000 was spent in draining it, and it has since been sold for $12,1100. The Department of Physics, U. A. C., over which Professor 1)ay has charge, has a. large staff engaged in making. drainage very busy. Thine who 'wish •sur- veys made this fall.ebould apply at once, as there are nearly: as many applies-. tions iu as eau be attended to this sea- son.

New York, July 3.—A 'Washington. despatch says: The International fur seal conference has reached art agree - went which will effectively put an and to pelagic sealing. Only the drafting of the formal...treaty remains to be ne- eomplished, and, with an agreement on the points at issue, it is not expeetett that this will require xnue'h time. Rus- sia and the United States, who havo the only important seal rookeries, have been remartcably generous in their treatment of Canada and Japau, end 1.rn Canada, through the British sbasiea- dor, has made certain concessions front the advantage the Dominion obtained £n the earlier negotiations which were ne- cessary to the successful outcome , of the conference. The conference will end with all the parties thereto well hitt, iified with the results, and the enor- iltotts good which will result fromthe abolition of peingie sealing, whieb makes possible the practical coeserva- tion of the far seals.

This general fund will then he equally divided between Canada and .1apan to indemtiifr them for the lose entailed by their abrstention from me- anie sealing. Furthermore, the United States agrees to sdvence to Canada :t cult bonus of $200.000 to to used for the reitnhnrsement of the owners of the vessels engaged in pelagic sealing, but the equivalent in skins of the sunt std advt./iced will be deducted from the percentage of eateb what U.
