The North West is attracting atten. tion at present, and in the near future, will, probably be the thief objective point of emigration on this continent. The rolling prairies, the fertile soil, the sweet transparent atmosphere, and above alt, the glorious sun, are suffiaient to stamp upon the mind of the traveller an idea of intrinsic escellence, surpass. ing theldreams of his most roseate faucy. Add thereto a climate faultless, and the picture will be correct. Lest this be deemed exaggerative, we may observe that horses, cattle and sheep graze on the prairie all winter, unfelt, unhoused and uncared for, yet in the spring round up, are found even better. conditioned than in autumn. Last winter, if such it' may be Called, there was not, at any time, more than two inches of snow on the ground. On one day, the coldest, the thermometer indicated a temperature•28 degrees be- low zero yet so genial and dry is the' atmosphere, that people walk to shops and stores without overshoes or over- coat. True, those articles are worn there when long distances are to be. travelled, but ordinarily. they are not. Even 40 degrees below zero is -less try ing Muth ten in a bufilid .We saw farmers mowinghay in Perim- ber, and ploughing in February. How• ever, last winter was unusually mild. As a rule, they have about six weeks of what is called winter, though in old Canada it would not be so regarded, as altogether they seldom have one foot of snow, never enough to make sleigh. Mg. Let it be distinctly understood that these remarks do not refer to Manitoba, That noble province already supplies theior best bread to too Malty homes in both Europe aud America, to need further advertising. Asstniboia and Alberta are not so well known, though in many respects the•s• are both superior to Maniteba. They have a far gentler clime and produce better wheat, and they are always better folstock raising. About 3O0 miles west from Winnipeg. the Chinook Winds first begin. to mod- ify the clime, which g.mws milder., tIll the foot of the Bookies is reaehed.

Rev J. I'. Lewis, rector of Grace church, (Episcopal) Toronto, denounced commercial union from his pulpit yes- . terday.-Empire of Monday. . There's nothing wonderful or. sur- prising in this. We remember when the reverend gentlemen waste member of the Methodist body, and thought there was no other denomination equal to it in any respect. But his views .have changed, and are just as likely to do so on tbe present imbject of discus- sion, Commercial union is certainly a more scriptural method of trade than our present one. Mr J. Eseon, of No. 251 Hymen St. London, writes to the .Loncidn Free Press as follows; -"Will you kindly al. low me through your valuable journal ittremillethe-attentienteofeteletrebelmititants of your city to the importance of the town of Bayfield as a summer resort, as it is about foety ueilee north-west of Londoo on the shoree of Lake Huron, where thousands during the summer months enjoy its refreshing breezes.

TEACHERS' I NSTITVTE.-Tbe an- nual meeting of the East Huron Teachere' Aseociation is to be held in the Collfgiate Institute, next Wed- nesday andThur-day, Inspector Deerness, of Middleeex, a wen -known educationist, will be present to de- liver eeverel addresses. On Wednes- day evening a public meeting will be held, in the Town Hall, at which, in addition to several addresses on edu- cational topics, a choice programme of music will be given by well-known sineers from town, and the teachers of the Model School have classes in preparation to render 'kindergarten songs and class singing. All who wish a couple of hours good enjoy- ment should be present. A nominal fee of ten cents will be levied. A freight engineloing sefitchinoco.r Bailey Station Colorado, ran into a boul- der on the traelt and was ditched. Fireman Charles Lapman was caught under the red hot firebox., He laid in that positon with his head only but from under the machinery for an hour, suf- fering untold agony, no one being able to render ovistance. Just before he expired he celled a brakeman, and while half of his body was roasting from the heat of the engine, dictated his will, leaving $15,000 to his two brothers in San Fran loco. He gave intaructione regarding his funeral Red who he desired to conduct the servicee, then offered prayer, and died. "Docs it pay loyal' Roots?" The fullettiug paper was read a ebort time ago before the "Stauley Sun Grange," by Brother John K.etchen. WORTH): MASTER AND BROTIIHRE1.-I am neither a public speaker nor a practised writer, and should not perhaps presume to read such s paper before yea, but being a strong advocate of discussions on agricultural subjects and wililing to support and encourage them as far as my poor ability goea, I have prepared this paper in the hope that it may open up a discussion on this important sub- ject. The subject I am to discuss is, "Does it pay to grow roots." There is wide difference of (Spinion on this sejtjeot,but I have always been a strong advocate for roots, and will give you my experience, both in growing and in feeding them. First,I select the poorest and dirtiest field I have, about ten acres in extent and generally after oats. 1 gang plow it after harvest, and let it lie for a , while, then harrow it and later on plow it as deep as I can. 1 would rather leave some of my ploughing for spring crop undone, than the ploughing of my root ground. Once or twice I have left it, but I never got the land in such good order as , when it is well turned up to the winter frosts.If you do not get land finely pulverized you cannot be. sure of a crop. With regard to the manure, I always try to have the mangle ground ma- nured in the fall if possible. For tur- nips however, I would just as soon manure it in the spring if the manure is of the right sort. I prefer to manure for mangels in the fall, because they have to be sown a good while earlier in spring, and there is more danger of the ground being wet, and working it wet it is more apt to bake. I think I get more good of the manure in the spring, at least I get arattte strength of it at first. • ...41 • After I plough my land inThe fall, I let it lie till after the spring •work is done, and then sow the mangles with one good ploughing and drilling up. I make the drills ebout 28 inches apart and thin them out about a foot apart, : ocumre. With regard to scuffling I would only say that the more the crop is scuffled and hoed, the better it will be. I now prepare the gronnd foe turnips and put about twenty loads of manure to the acre en the fall ploughing, and plough the ground twice before sowing, to thoroughly mix the manure with the land. If possible land should be ready and rolled a week before sewinem as it acquires moisture,' the small seeds, such as foetail, germtnate, and drilling up kills the most of them. Isow five or six hundred pounds of salt, dtill up, SQW immediately, and roll with tile heavy roller, making the drilis nearly flat. The hoeing and thinning, is the same as for mangles. In takiemilythe man- gles. In takirg up the turnips I take off the tops with the hoe, then with the iron plough without the mould board, 1 plough two rows into one, cutting the roots at the same time. You will see by this preparation of the grefind that it takes about as much work as a sem- mer fallow. I think that the hoeing find harvesting of the roots will not ' cost very much, if any more than the ploughing and seeding for fall wheat, therefore, there is a large margin in, ; favor of roots, for I get tm crops in-.' stead of one, with very little more labor. • • I always keep my cattle off the root ground in the till and allow the tops to rot all winter. In the spring 1 gang , plough it • and sow with barley • then fell wheat and seed down if desired; This gives me two crops with about the samc tillage as a summer fallow and one crop of wheat. Now I woeld just as soon have a. good crop of tuynips as forty bushels of wheat to tl.e acre. Froni 500 to 600 bushele is a fair ay. , orage crop,and ternipe are always worth from eight to ten cents a • bushel. At the least this gives $40 an acre so that a very ordinary crop of rbots is worth a crop of fall wheat at 40 bushels an acre and one chiller a bushel. I can harvest a root crop as chett dy as I can harvest a crop of wheat and thresh It. Now how are the turnips made into money ? Well, 1 feed them to my stock and fat cattle. If I have not too. many store cattle 1 can feed ten or. twelve good steers and give all the rest Beene too. Though sorne say turnips will net fat cattle, Pknow from eeperience that thee will. For several years 1 fed ten steers and kept an account ef the hay, grain and ieetts they eat, counting the met t if the i•,teere, and inerket price for the hay and undo. the sale ef the titOens allowing ten cents a bueliel for what they ete, 1 have teited this several tinws and lind it pays to feed it good quantity of I•oots to cattle. Ennio SRN' that turnips are all water and you may as well pump water with a wind Mill. but grass is the best feed we have to fatten. and 87 per centof that is water. Why sir, all our cattle men in this conntry and the old feed roots to a latge extent, and if there were not both feed und profit in them, they would riot have followed the plan for the last hundred years. Now, I have just its good crops of fall wheat as,the season will allow: I have had as With as 43i bushels per mire', and 1 am just as sure of a crop of barley. So 1 think roots' do not take 4.11-1he 'strengthostit n threlameleassome - say, but you cannot get a crop of any kind that willgive the SRITIO return without taking some strength from the land.. Again from it ten acre field of roots I have about as much manure as off any other crop and far Imperiar in quality. The fertility of the land is thus kept better than by summer faiSkoL may say that we oiten inks the turnips. Allowing that to be so we do not miss them oftener than whcat after summer fallow, amd at Any rate, WO are always sure of a crop of barley. Now I thibk I have clearly shown that it "does pay to grow roots." but if any member in the discussion Can show that it does not pay, then I am quite willing to be taught it lesson. In cloeing I • would just say that if any member has any question to ask, I itm willing to give all the information 1 gan on root growing. Around The County The population of Grey Township is 3,750. The School population of Brussels has increased 60 during the past year and now numbers 371. Mr C. J. Reading, of Bluevale, has purchased the grocery business of Mr H. Hiseocks, Wingbam. Mr George Dale, of Hullett,has a filly colt for which he refused a bona fide of- fer of $175 when it was two weeks old. It is hinted that A. 11, N. Jenkens, late of the Brussels Budget, may resume his former occupation as school teacher. Owing to the decease of Thomas For- tune, J. Burgess, of Blnovale, has been appointed Clerk for the Township of Turnberry.

The remains were telsen to Barrie, the home of his parents. A former Huronite, Hon. T. M. El- liott, is still on the rise in the great ye kota sountry, having been chosen as one of the three candidates for the posi- tion of delegate in the coming constitu- tional . convention of the new State. The honor was tendered to Tom al- though he was absent from the meeting, and had sought to keep out of the field altogether. Constable Soott, of Brussels, arrested a man na.med Kenner, of Wingham, on Tuesday, charged with the paternity of an illegitimate child belonging to a young woman named Bloomfield. The matter was settled between the parties by the payment of $95. The man de- nied the charge in toto but to save law and trouble cousented to above settle- meut. At the regular meeting of the Quart- erly Board cf the Methodist cherch, Bruseele, Rev. M. Swann was invited to tine charge for the third year.

Dr. Ross, who for the past couple of year, has practIsed medicine in Gude- rich, hat received the appointment of second assistant medical officer in the Hamilton Asylum. The doctor is a general favorite with the people of that town, and his many friends rejoice at his promotion to a 'good position The appointment is an Ontario Govern. ment one.. The doctor is a son of Hon.' A. M. Ross, Provincial Treasurer. On Thursday Mrs Jane McKibbon, of Belsrave, was called away from this world of sorrows, to the better and hap- pier one,we have reason to believe. Mrs Meliibbon was a widow and lived about a mile out of the village. She was a member of the Presbyterian church, of whichshe was a regular attendant when health permitted. Her death was front heart disease. At the time of her death she was 64 years of age.

A correspondent in whose veracity we have every confidence, and who ob. tallied the informat oit, direct front the Jewitt family, sends is the following ac- count of what is certainly It most extra- ordinary case of ihiposition. The doe - tor also corroborates the facts. The story is as follow: -An amusing inci- dent occurred in Morris. at Mr Thornas• skwittiaregitieneeLds few days- ago- A. young marriartnan from Tranoir-r, Bruce Co. who had fer many years it alleged, been (Inner] with 6L,Sarrived at Mr Jew itt's place, where he wras soon taken down with one of Ii S per;odicitl. attacks. Theparo•.ysnis were so severe that it took several mon to 1.011 him, and Mr Jewitc was obliged to calt in several'of his neighbors who left their teams standing idle during their hurry and came to his assistance. Their best effores, however, were tioavailing and the patient ofted broke loose during hie supposed convelsions and went ..eareer- ing through the lions° amid terrible contortions. This went on foe two days and two nights, when Dr. Chisholm, of Wingham, was celled to see the patient. Strange to say, tnere woe° no manifes• tations of the existence of the malady in the Dr's. presence. The usual symp- toms of fits, however, were absent and the Dr. suspected feigning. Ho was called the second time, but the subject was apparently not in a mood. The De, requested the intimation to be made that he was gone home and went into an adjoining room. The wily roe - eat was very soon manifesting his worst symptoms and the Dr. waa called in. After watching the performanoe for a while the Dr. gave -the feigning patient it lively bat on the ear. This reeulted in an immediate return to consciousness, the patient jumping to his feet and showing fight. The Dr. repeated the dose, at the same time telling him he was an impostor of the most .obnoxioos kind, there being nothing whatever wrong with him. He prescribed an application of what he called apple bud, with the result that Mr' Jewitt went out and cut a good sized gad from an apple tree and hung it up, telling the young man that if he howed any signs of tits in the future he would apply the gad according to the Dr's. orders.. The result was wonderful. Tile cure was magical. The patient got up, dressed lifinself, ate a good supper. elept well all night anti went off on the train for Hanover next day einite well. Mr Jewitt peedee hie fare. Timm NEWS NQTES Bishop, the min -d -reader, died at New York on Monday. Edward, D. Sherwood, ex -Deputy Sheriff of Carleton County, committed suicide on Friday.
