The native land of common oats (Arena -saliva Linn) is not known but like the other tteerealia, this plant has excited -attention as to its original hot*, which_ has been. located on the Danube. It was cultivated 2,000 years ago by the Cats -and Germans, 'and has been, transplanted from Europe where it originally supplied the bread prop, to nearly all parts of the world. It was known to the 'Egyptians, Hebrews, , Greeks and *mans, by whom also the grain was used .for bread ; and it con- . tinned in common use until' the mere . nutritiOus cerealia-were generally intro- duced, when it became more and more restricted to food for the poor* and for domestic animals. a Even atthis day it is eaten by the Irish and Scotch, and is much prized by them in some peculiar forint of cooking it. As a grain it is quite advantageous to man. The plant can be grown when neither Avheat nor barley wv11 flourish, and it is the hardest of all the cereals. In damp cool loca- tions it bears a tolerable -sized grain but it will not stand heat and. drouth well, for Under such circumstances its product is very' scant. in contrasting this with other bread plants of grasses, its grain is *Indto contain the least quantity ' of nutriment to _a given bulk, and but a very small portion of saccharine matter - compared with bailey. It was formerly made into malt, but it is not used at this da Y for that purpose. _ The meal is sometimes recommended to very delicate persons as anartiple for -making a light diet. In. Scotland it is made into porridge and thin cakes, which are Wen' by all -classes, the , poorer glasses almost entirely subsisting r e "• . mnner of applyingit in thie country. In China, barn yard --manure is putinto large tanks, and leached, and the, liquid only that comes,from the tanks is used as & fertilizer. . When, all -the strength is drawn from the manure, that which remains in the tank thrown away. Night -soil is treated in the same way, and is considered very valuable. Dry manures, such as phosphates, etc.,.are largely used, and as none of these con- tain the seeds of weeds, there are no weeds planted, hence there is no weed- ing to he done, and nothing comes up except the grain, etc., planted or sown. Let Or farmers and gardeners try this pIan. What if it . is, a -" Heathen Chinee " plan? If it saves half the labor, is it not worth trying? Of course it is. Try it thin, and we will have no more grumbling .about the heavy labor of weeding. - t ; Temperance Facts. —Those who imagine that the Pro- hibition movement is not going to grow from this time on more rapidly than ever are not rightly' interpreting the signs of the hour. This tremendous undercurrent of thought all over the cimntry is rapidly -generating an invinci- ble political force." =Robert W. Page, of Atlanta, Ga., an employee at Weiler's slaughter -house, while drunk December 13th, fell into the large kettle full of hot water in which hogs were scalded. He had been in the kettle over an hour when found, and his body was boiled almost into jelly. —A Newark dram -shop is run by a man whose name is "Trapper." Though he hangs out the sign of warning, still many go in and are trapped. • —About one-seventh of the grain pro- duce of Great Britain is appropriated in the manufacture of strong drink. —rhe rum -power is too-volossal to be ignored, too cyclonic to be regulated, too insolent to be endured. —Saloons are incubators for hatching anarchists. . - —"A drunkard" has been interpreted in Indiana to mean' a man who is never sober. On the same principle, we sup - yoga, a sick man would mean a man who -;•f•••••- • box into his fanged fill at one time, He would get up a rousing fire uudoubt- edly, but if he had to wait six hours bee 1 fore replenishing hi coal -box his engine would probably come to a standstill on the road. The wise' fireman puts in a little coal at time and replenishes it often. If one has six hours between meals, and continuoue effort to provide for, it would be poor policy to put into the stomach food which would digest completely ' in two hours' time. The laboring man will never agree to such a- form.-. His present diet is suited to his needs. Even the frying process cannot be logically objected to. -_ Digestible and indigestible are rela- tive terms. - The rating of food depends upon the stomach to Which it is to be applied. What is indigestible for one stomach is digestible in another. Whet is simply digestible in one case is too digestible in another. Food may be too digestible for the traveller'for the worker ' and for the poor man who. cannotafford frequent meals.. It can be so digestible as to leave one hungry at the end' of two hours and faint at the end of four; It can be Abo_digestible for a' diseased liver and kidneys to take care of. Plainer, food does not mean more easily digested food in these cases. It is significant, perhaps, that milk, so' beneficial as a diet in kidney embarrass- ment, is not a very easily digested food, not by any means so' easily digested as raw beef grated, or beef juice, or pep- tonoids. ' , - Digestibility is not a complete test of food value, Pre-digested foods" and "easily digested foods" should be re- =served for cases in which the -digestion_ is in fault.

This Is almost impossible with our present system of manuring.- In every load of, hay fed to our horses and cattle there are thousands of seeds that pats through the animal without being digested, and with every load of manure hauled from the barn and spread on the greund, we plant a vast number -of thesei seeds, and give them a gonad hot -bed to grow in; and then after they are grown complain of the labor of getting rid of . them ; and it is a labor, and a very heavy one; too, no matter what plan we o adopt to clean them Some pull them out by the roots, others hoe them out, and others plow them under. Pull - ink them up by the roots the most effectual of the three, but that only gets rid of one crop, the very next manuring we give our land we plant a new crop, and the same work has to be done over again. But why: should we plant these weeds that cause so much labor and ex- - pense . Is there no way to avoid it? . Yes`, certainly there is, if we are' willing to take a lesson from the Heathen Chinee." Those who have traveled through the agricultural districts of China tell us that you may travel for days and daps without seeing a single weed in the -fields; and why is this? Simply bebause they first clear the field of weed, and never plant any more. Their lands are in a high state of culti- vation,well matured with liquid and - 'd -mannyes, and produce large crops. When barn -yard manure is used, it is applied altogether differently from the Fattening Cattle. Cattle intended for the wintor or spring markets shouldreceive close at- tention as the winter sets in. As soon as grass begins to fail they should be stabled every night and be fed with cornmeal or shorts. Hay or ?clover should be fed to them as soon as they will eat it, and after - they have been stabled for‘me night they should not be allowed to lie out again until they are driven away to market, If the cattle. are fastened- to stanchions the floor should be long enough to allow them to stand a perfectly natural posi- tion. and not slip back into the manure gutter. Tying cattle with ropes or chains or shutting them in a box -stall, each by himself, is preferable to stan- chions, where room can be' afforded. The floor should be 'a little slanting, and the manure ditch four inches deep. It makes little difference,lowever, how cattle are fastened, if their other wants are not fully met. -A :steer is bet- ter in a common stable with proper care and food than in the basement ,of a $2,- 000 barn and. poorly fed. For fattening animals, after December sets in, besides what good hay .or well - cured clover` they. will eat, feed four quarts of cornmeal. and,, two quarts of shorts morning and night, and for five or six weeks before selling time give six quarts of meal and three of shorts twice daily to a steer weighing 1,200pounds. Corn should be the essential factor in making beef, mutton, or pork. Rents can be grown and fed out to great profit, but somehow comparatively few farmers raise beets or turnips to feed out to stock. Yet two or three liberal feeds a week is just what fattening animals need, when their diet is otherwise con- fined to dry fodder. lisu a bushel two. or- three times a week may be fed mit- t° sheep when the weather is not too cold. . Fattening steers or oxen should be kept in the stable in cold weather the larger part of the timer- Three hours a day is long enough for them to exercise. and get water, and too long when the weather is severely cold, - The card should be freely used and the skin kept free from filth. stand them,. -despite the fact that you use tobacco in some shape from morning till night." , Condemned in 1701 to serve in the galleys of France on account ofbeing a Protestant, Jean Martelle de 13ugerac died in 1777, at Galenburg, on the. Gueldre, at the age of ninety-five. He says: • • 'All the convicts are chained to al bench ; these benches are four feet apart,1 and covered with a bag stuffed with wool, on which is thrown a sheepskin. The overseer, who .is master of the slaves, remains aft, near the captain, to receive his orders. There are two sub- overseers—one amidships, the other on! the bow.' Each one of them is erfue with a, whip, which he exercises on the naked bodies of the crew. When the captain orders ' the boa off, the overseer gives signal from e silver whistle which hangs from his neck. This is repeated by the two others, and at once the slaves strike the -water. One would lay the fifty oars were but one. • Imagine six men chained to a bench, naked as they were born, one foot oh the foot -rest, the other braced againeit •the seat in front, holding in their hands An oar -of enormous weight, stretching their bodies out and extending their arms forward towards the backs of those before them, who have the same attitude. • • Foods and Digestion.. A lady who has travelled- extensively tells me that upon. her home breakfast of steak or chops she becomes hungry before the noon stop, and that she has had t� depend upon ham, hard-boiled eggs and other food usually called un- hygienic and indigestible, when upon the road. Also, I understand that birds who live upon grass seed perish during tne storms of the 'plains, when every source of food is buried by the snow for days in succession; while birds who live upon the larger grains will. survive. Upon a cold winter's 'evening ' the far- mer does not feed, his hens upon corn meatand (niter nor upon wheat sifthigs, but upon whole corn, which will be di- gested very slowly and will continue to furnish a supply to -the system through the night. The laboring man acts upon a airliner plan. In spite of -recommenda- tions in regard to softbeiled eggs, broil- ed steaks, farinaceoui, puddings and rare roasts, the workinginan prefers and 'demands what he calls hearty food. This means usually hard-boiled eggs, fried steak—the harder and crisper the better, pot roasts well boiled down, corned beef, pork, roasts,, beans, not too well done, potatoes with a core, suet pudding, and pies. Apparently hearty food means food which will remain a long time in the stomach; digesting slowly. The man who works out of doors requires a meal which will "stay by him" from his six o clock breakfast until his dinner at noon. The reason for this is perhaps not difficult to. find. The body is an engine for which the stomach is the coal -box. He would be a bad fireman who would empty hie coal- .

Being determined not to be undersold by any other establishment, I am now selling furniture at only 10 per eent, above cost. Would also say respectfully to the people of Seaforth and sur- rounding country, that I keep no other than first class *took in all the branches of the under- taking department, bought from the beet firms and on such business principles that enables me to sell at much lower rates than Mr, Robertson quotes. He accuses me of publishing what he terms clap -trap," Now, the wideavtake .peoplef will no doubt be able to define what be. means by this term and come to a lentil/le, con.', elusion of who deserves their patiamege the man who obliged to cut down his prices, or the man who has been the mewl of breaking up this monopoly and starting an honest and much needed reform. If those who have had dealings with this scientific undertaker wit compare his previous charges with his present, quotations, I am sure their eyes will be opened to gross injustice in the time of their trouble., I would here say that I only intend to- conduct all Itinerate that I may- be favored with on strictly honorable principles.
