Plant Shade Trees ou the Varna
10 Farmers stand its their own light if they
refuse to plant trees for the shelter of their
growing crops, even though there were no
Prospects of making anything out of the tim-
ber. Mr. R. W. Phipps, who has. done good
service'for the OntarioGovernment in amass -
_Aug evidence to prove the necessity for re-
foresting the Province, asserts that farriers
who leave their fields unsheltered, eaniiolb
expect favorable returns, and he proves his
position by tui extract from alletter by Mr.
-Powers; of Hope township, Durham, who
gives this testiniouy:—
P•- In order to show the value of forest shelter
I may remark that .the only piece of fall
wheat which escaped' winter -killing in this
neighborhood, was a piece on the farm ad-
joining mine—a piece sheltered on the north
.. and west by a belt of trees. Every other
' year there has been a crop of fall wheat on
this field, and there never has yet been a poor
crop, nor any winter -killing of the wheat.—
I am stare that if other...•tields were- as well
protected there would be sure crops of this
valuable cereal.
Young trees- can be obtained so cheaply,
and will grow up with so little care, that no
farmer can have any excuse for failing to
adopt the precautions that have apparently
resulted so favorably in the case of the agri-
culturist above referred to, and if any farm-
er in Huron can give similar testimony, we
shall be pleased to publish it. The farmers
of Ontario should not rest satisfied till every
field in the Province is surrounded by a belt
of trees that will act as a protection to their
wheat fields in winter, and as a shelter to
their cattle from the fierce rays of the sum-
mer sun, while aiding the better distribution
of the rainfall. At how small cost thismuch
needed reform niay be brought about.
A Qua 'Witt. Grit.
The young school mistress at Trenton,
Georgia, Miss Childress, is very pretty
and bright, and quite a belle. A young
man from a neighboring village made a -_
desperate effort to win her favor, but
she dislikes him very much. A few
days ago be began to circulate damaging
reports about the young lady, which re-
sulted in a nice bit of scandal in the lit-
tle town.
The stories finally came to the young
lady's ears, Thoroughly enraged, she
borrowed a shotgun, mounted a horse
ncj,tyent,in quest of her traducer,whom
she hound in his store surrounded by a
large number of his friends. • Caeking
both barrels of her shotgun, which was
loaded with buckshot, she pointed it at
his head and said ; ' You villain ! Ac-
knowledge before these gentlemen that
you have lied about and slandered that
and that there is no truth in anything
you have said, or I will this instant
blow out your brains'!'
The young roan, amid the mockery of
his coulpanions, promptly ncknowledrged
all that was demanded of him, admitting
that he had knowingly slandered the,
young lady; who immediately left, es-
corted by an admiring, crowd.

A number of the farmers in the County of
'Waterloo, have formed themselves into a
stock company for the purpose of shipping
cattle, etc., direct to the old coutry, and
made their first shipment of about seven
hundred heads, on Tuesday. There is no-
thing to prevent farmers_allover the coun-
try doing this, if they feel so disposed, and
think they can realize butter returns than
when selling to local buyers, but unless tliey
have good reliable men to transact their
business for them in the old country, they
aro likely to come out of the small end of
the horn, and even if they -have such men,
e c a ices ar VkinMt-i:1 thi="The"cat'tlo
trade is one of the most uncertain at all -
times, and it is hardly likely that when men
like the local buyers, who have •devoted
years to the business, andbecame thoroughly
fiSsilittr with all the little details associated
therewith, fail to make money at it, that
farmers, more or less inexperienced, will do
better. If' they do, UT are sure no One will
rejoice more than the 'cattle buyers them-
eelves,for we know several who have been in
the business for some time, and have thus
far failed to acquire the wealth which some
peoiale aeons to think there is in the business
THE following extract from the. Bobcay-
geon Indepe ndent, (not a Liberal paper), is
pretty strong language, but it is mighty
near the truth :—
"That abomination, the Senate, is now in
session, and is drawing its pa'y with uner-
•.ring .xegnlarity.. It. is doing no work, for
there is none to be done, and the disgusting
sight is beheld of a body of unprincipled
political hacks wallowing in their own
filth in a hall where they aro fed and pro-
vided for at the expense of. the people. Tho
. Hight _is . sufiiciently humiliating,._ but still
more humiliating is the fact that a majority
of the people of Ontario at the last election
'expressed their approval of a political sys-
tem which produces and maintains 'such a
`body as the Senate. Talk of madness of
party. A people who could deliberately vote
for the maintenance of the collective scoun-
drelism of the Senate must themselves be
utterly unprincipled and dishonest,"

Dr. Hodge, of lMitchell, reduced a
fracture in the right arm, on Thursday,
of a boy named John McHughes, of

night before, which acted ugly,throwing
itself upon the boy and thus breaking
the bone midway between the wrist -and
elbow.

removed to his brothel's, ,,`ind is now

About fifty•two days ago, sometime
in March, an old pian named Jas. Ran-

term in the gaol for larceny. Since his
incarceration he has steadily failed in

THE DRINK CURSE OF BRITAIN.
A handy little volume published in Lon-
don in 1885 and entitled"Little Option,"
gives atatiatics taken from Parliamentary
returns which show very strikingly the aw-
ful ravages and overwhelming waste caused
by the drink fiend. There are columns.in
which is given the amount of money actu-
ally spent"on intoxicating liquors during
each year from 1860 to 1884, the number
of oases of drunkenness; the number of
eases for oritne, the uuntber of lunatics,the
number of paupers and the amount aetu.
ally spent in support of the prior. These
lists are appalling ones. It, is no doubt
quite true that there is a good deal of crime
lunacy and pauperism not caused by
drinking. But everyone tolerably well
, acquainted with the facts will acknowledge
that relatively the amount of this is ex-
ceeding moderato.
What shall we then say to ,the drink
bill of 35,061,000 people, amounting in
1884 to •$631,746,280, or $8,530 for each
adult man. Tho amount in 1878 was
$10645 per adult man, so that there is
considerable shrinkage. But even as it is
the amount is simply horrible. Then it is
calculated by those who have made the
'matter a special study that the cost of the
mischiefs caused by drunkenuess ie quite
as great as the actual amount of the drink
bi 1 itself. This would bring up the total
aggregate to more than athousand millions
of dollars every year. All worse than
thrown'away. Suppose even the half of
this were saved. Whrat a mighty gain that
would be, both morally and•materially. If
It were all saved, o13e plight almost say
!hat the result would be as life from the
dead, so much more tit spend on food,
clothes and comforts. The old aong,oright
to bo changed. It is not "pride" but
"drink,"
"That keeps a' country door.

Monuments.
Few people in this country have any
idea of the amount of money invested In
monuments in the United Strifes. $5,000
bas been subscribed for a soldiers' monu-
ment at Portym ,uth, N.H.
The New Yora Grant monument fund
amounts to $121,000. Six white bronze
soldier's monuments are being built itt
Bridgeport, Cond., ranging in price from •
$2000 to $6000. Four thousand dollars is
the amount df money J. K. Taylor Port,
Bethlehem, Pa., contemplates putting into
a monument. President Cleveland con-
tributed $100. to Hendrick's monument
fund, which now amounts to $22,000.
The sum required is $50,000. Sites have
been selected for six soldiers' monuments,
at Gett s ur]', to be erected by the State,
and $6,000 has been appropriated for that
purpose. The New Jersey Legislature
bas appropriated $12,450, New York
$205,000 and the Pennsylvania is expect-
ed to appropriate $81,000 for a similar
purpose. A $5000 bronze statute of Gara-
baldi .is to be placed iu Central Park,
New York, A statute of Henry Ward
Beecher will be erected in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn..
