M. C. Cameron was figuring on 200
majority through the assistance of Mr.
Newman,` He evidently counted on
direct and indirect support from those
who have opposed hint for thirty years.
The political record of M. 0. Cameron
has not undergone any more change
than has the spots on the leopard.
At Lucknow Mr. Weismiller compell-
ed Dr. McDonald to eat plain crow on
Friday night. The alliance between
Mr. Newman and Mr. ,Cameron was
exposed, whereupon the Doctor
blustered and challenged proof. An
elector in the audience rose to his feet.
It is needless to say Dr. McDonald
wilted badly. The meeting was large
and strongly in favor of Weismiller.
John McMillan, an behalf of Mr.
Cameron, charged Mr. Bartlett with
deceiving the electors in reading a
clause from an official blue book. The
meeting was at Beniniller, Mr. Mc-
Millan was compegled to read the docu-
ment himself and acknowledged that
he had made a false accusation, when a
hearty cheer went up for Mr. Weis -
miller and honesty.
N. MR. LAITRIER AND HIS CAN-
DIDATES ON THE SCHOOL

The Canadian Journal of Commerce
has the following to say regarding the
appointment of Hon. W. H. Montague
and his announcement of polity:
"Hon. W. H. Montague, who has ac-
cepted the portfolio of Minister of Ag-
riculture, is evidently determined to be
as active in his new sphere as he has
shown himself upon the stump. The
country will wish him god -speed in his
endeavours to infuse more energy into
our fanning and especially our dairy-
ing industries, and to bring agricultur-
ists more into touch with the manag-
ers and conductors of the model farms
established for their benefit."
The Toronto Globe does not object
to Mr. Laurier and his Quebec French
co-workers inciting Roman Catholic
passions against the Ontario Orangis-
tes, but does object to Ti -u Ndtws-RE-
CORD calling Mr. Laurier "French
Laurier" in Ontario. Becauee he is
French we do not hold it to be a bar as
leader of the Opposition, but what we
desire to etnphasize is the fact that Mr.
Laurier and his followers do not and
dare not make use of the same utter-
ances in Ontario as they do in Quebec,
but the Globe is too dishonest to ack-
nowledge this.
Conservatives should reason togeth
er. While we do not agree with the
Government on every point of their
policy, we afire k,on the broad and
general policy. 'to support Mr. Laur-
ier would mean an advocacy of apolicy
as far from West Huron as is the
North Pole. That we will never do.
If we are, as some contend, between
the devil and the deep sea on a side
issue, we will trust the devil we know
rather than the devil we don't know.
Broadness of view roust, characterize
all great parties, and the many defeats
of the Grit party is due to a lack of
this. Electors should be warned to
not he entrapped into a support, direct
or indirect, of a party they are opposed
to on broad lines.
Here W some cis. lt4vice from'tlle
Globe which Conservatives Should pro-
fit by when they mark their ballots
next Tuesday : "The opening of the
campaign in West Huron finds the
Liberals in that section of the Province
alert, aggressive and hopeful. They
have in Mr. M. C. Cameron a candidate
who ought to consolidate the Liberal
vote in every part of the riding. Mr.
Cameron should unquestionably poll
the vote of every Ulan who desires to
see the fall of the existing Govern-
ment. A vote given for any other
candidate than Mr. Caweron would
pracically be a vote for prolonging the
life of the Administration. If the
Governtnent candidate can win by a
division among its opponents the vic-
tory will just be as useful to the Minis-
ters as i won on the merits of the
various questions before the people.
The election of Mr. Cameron in West
Huron by a handsome majority would
he a detathstr•oke to the Bowell Admin-
istration, already staggering from the
blows it has recently received.
The veteran Premier of this Domin-
ion, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, has given
his whole life, or at least the better
part of it, in the service of his country.
During all that time not a single
wrong act can be pointed to. He has
been trusted by friend and foe as
thoroughly honest. Now in his exalt-
ed position there are those whodiscr•ed-
it his sincerity on the miserable Mani-
toba school question. A trusted faith-
ful servant for half a century, sworn
to a dirty, will not betray a sacrad
trust. A servant who has faithfully
served fifty years we will not discredit
or discharge on a moment's notice, and
then only to place in his stead a
Frenchman who protests against the
Orangistcs of Ontario.

A SUITABLE EPITAPH.
ti
"You want a plain, unpretentious
stone, as I understand It," said the
dealer in tombstones after the chair -
wan of the delegation has explained
that a late arrival from Kansas hal
been accidentally killed.
"Right you are," replied the chair-
man. "There ain't nothin' in the case
that calls fer anythin' gaudy or im-
posin' but the boys feels that the de-
ceased didn't mean no harm an' In con-
sequence his remains is entitled to con-
sideration."
"Died suddenly, did he?" asked the
dealer.
"Well, he wasn't jest expectin' death
at the time he shuffled off, if that's
what you're driving at," returned the
chairman, "but there ain't no need or
gain' Into particulars, if it's all the
same to you."
"Oh, I've no desire to pry into any
secrets," explained the dealer hastily.
"I was merely thinking of the epitaph."
"The what?"
"The epitaph. You want something
engraved on the stone, I suppose. It's
customary to have something in ref-
erence to the most notable qualities of
the deceased on the headstone."
"I reckon you're right about that,"
said the chairman, thoughtfully, "but
there ain't much knowed about the
feller out here, 'cept that he was a re-
former, 'cordin' to his own story.
P'r'aps youtd better jest put a line on
somethin' like this: 'He tried to vote

That seems to fit the case better'n any -
thin' else." -Chicago Post.
The (lobe's Saturday lender was on
"West Huron," and the article indi-
cates that Mr. Forrester has with-
drawn to assist Mr. Cameron. The
Globe says "any action that makes the
return of a Ministerial candidate pos-
sible through suicidal divisions in the
ranks of those who oppose the Govern-
ment Is treason to the principles which
Liberals and Patrons are alike concern-
ed in furthering." Mr. Forrester has
evidently been Induced to not commit,
"treason" to his former party and
stepped down and out of the field.

vote assists in placing French Laurier
Premier of this Dominion," The To-
ronto (dobe objects to THE Ngvve-Rac-
oaD using the above sentence for fear
it will stir up the waters of race hatred.
The statement attributed by his own
paper to Mr. Laurier, "Thank God
there are no Orangemen among us, the
Liberals I" has never yet been man-
fully denied by Mr. Laurier. The Grit
appeal for McShane in Montreal Cen-
tre said : - By their votes for McShane
in Montreal Centre the electors will
protest against the Orangistes of On-
tario." M. 0. Cameron when Riel was
hanged said in the House the govern-
ment had committed murder, and that'
the Orangemen thirsted for his blood
alld gloated over his tragic fate. At
that time the late Sir John McDonald
WAS burned in effigy by the French and
M. C. Cameron assisted to incite tbern
to such an act; he it is who is responsi-
ble to a large extent for such words as
appeared in McShane's address to his
compatriots. Oh, no, dear Globe, the
electors of West. Huron thoroughly
understand the situation. This fact is
so positive that it s well worth repeat-

Intelligence and Good Judgment Re-
mitred...f,bte rrtnelplo of Feeding as
Applied to Pigs -Interesting Letter by
the Farm Superintendent of the College.
This Important subject has not re-
ot ived the consideration it should have
had from many of our farmers. To
feed stock successfully, requires intel-
ligence and good judgment in adapt-
ing the food to the kind of animals,
and to the different stages et aevelop-
n:ent.
Young cattle should be fed bulky
and easily digested food, food suited to
the production of bone and flesh, such
as clover, either cured or green, roots,
bran, crushed oats, etc. Young stock,
fed on such food regularly and mod-
erately, develop into strong, healthy
animals.
A diet for young animals containing
an excess of rich concentrated fOocj
tends too much to the production of
fat, renders an animal liable to dis-
ease, and is likely to check or stunt it
la its growth. Animals should be fed
according to the object desired. For
breeding purposes, it is Important that
both male and female be fed on food
that will produce bone, muscle, and
flesh, instead of fat.
The live stock at the Ontario Agri-
cultural College were fed during the
fast winter as follows:
CATTLE.
On the 6th of November, 1894, 16
steers rising 3 years old, were pur-
chased in the Guelph market at 3 1-2
cents per pound, the average weight
per animal being 1157 pounds. They
were fed largely on rape until Christ-
mas, receiving in addition, night and
horning, a mixture of cut hay, chaff,
pulped roots and ensilage, about 25
pounds per daywalso 2 pounds of crush-
ed barley and oats, with 1 pound of
bran per day; the cost of feed per day
for each animal being about 7 cents,
trcluding the rape. During January,
February and March they received no
hay. The food fed to them was a mix-
ture of chaff, ensilage and pulped
roots, 50 pounds per day, fed in 3
meals, at 6 a. m., 12 noon, and 6 p. m.,
the cost for each animal' being 8 cents
per day. including 4 pounds grain and
bran. With these rations from the 6th
of November till the end of March, 144
days, they gained an average of 265
pc unds per animal, or 1.84 pound per
day. Allowing 40 pounds each for
shrinkage, the net gain was 1.56 pound
per day for 144 days.
For April, the average gain was 50
1-2 pounds per animal, or say 1 1-3
pounds per day. Cut hay and clover
were added to the second mixture men-
tic.ned above.
During May, the Increase was only 26.
Wounds per animal, say 5-6 pounds
per day, while the food was 4 pounds
pea meal and 2 pounds bran, with cut
day, chaff, ensilage and pulped roots
mixed together, 60 pounds per day to
each animal; the cost of this food be-
ing about 10 cents each animal per
day.
From the 1st of June, the food was
cut clover, ensilage mixed, 46 pounds
each per day, with ground grain (bar-
ky, rye, wheat and bran, 7 pounds),
the cost being 12 cents for each animal
per day. The average gain in weight
for each animal was 1 pound per day.
In these estimates, clover hay is val-
ued at $7 per ton, chaff nothing, en-
silage $2, and roots $2.50 per ton, mix-
ed grain 1 cent per !pound, and bran
$12 per ton.
The mtloh cows were fed the same
as the steers in winter, except that
they received an addition of 20 pounds
of mangels per day when giving milk.
It will be observed that the greatest
gain for the food consumed was In the
first five months, while the steers were
fed on the coarse, bulky, and easily
digested food.
The last three months they were fed
at a loss, while they were being fed on
the stronger and more concentrated
fc od.
The steers were sold to Messrs. J. A.
Leaman & Co. of Halifax, Nova Scotia,
at 5 1-2 cents per pound live weight,
and shipped to them on July 26.

There was little difference In the
quality of food consumed by the dif-
ferent crosses; and the food was limit-
ed to what they ate within half an
hour of feeding. The Chester White
dam suffered from fever for about a
week after farrowing, so that her pigs
were badly stunted at the start, frbon
which they did not recover until be-
tween four and five months old. The
p'gs were inspected by two of the m(.bt
prominent pork packers in this Prov-
ince, and the Tamworth crosses were
pronounced the most suitable fcr their
purpose.
In order to have roots to boll for the
pigs during the year, we grow about
two acres of sugar beets. They will
keep until the 1st of August, when the
new crop of mangels Is ready to feed.
For a time we boil both taps and
toots. By this system of feeding, the
best quality of pork can be produced
for 2 cents per pound live weight. -
William Rennie, Farm Superintendent,
Net gain for 16 steers $ 342 31
Net gain for each animal $ 21 39
The manure Is taken as equal to the
cast of the labor for feeding, etc.
Had the stock been sold in May, as is
the custom, there would have been a
much larger profit, as will be seen from
the above figures. They were kept
until July that the large number of
farmers who visit the college during
June and July might see the result of
this method of feeding.
PIGS.
The principles of feeding 'pigs are
etmilar to those applied to other live
etcck, viz., animals kept for breeding
ptrposes should be fed on food that
will form bone, muscle fi.M flesh, in-
stead of fat. The brood sows at the
college farm are fed twice a day on
boiled roots, entatic turnips, mangels,
sugar beets, or potatoes, mixed with
bran and middlings. The young pigs
are fed the same kind of food three
three a day. As we have no milk for
cur young pigs, for three or four weeks
atter tveanitY* we mit fiat seed to
their toad as a dubstltute for milk.
about 1-2 pound per day for each litter
of A or 10 pigs. The cost of the food
at the age of four or five months is

chief point to be borne in mind is that
the gateway should be flanked on
e'ther side by shrubbery or small trees.
'ihe path should also curve as It en-
ters one's grounds, and if the shrub-
bery is carried along a little way on
the outer side of the path, the entrance
will be hidden entirely from the
grounds -a very attractive feature.
Value of Tillage and Fallows.
L. N. Bonham, writing In the Breed-
ers' Gazette, says:
Jethro Tull of England claimed that
tillage is manure, because by frequent
tillage he was able to produce good
crops. Science tells us why tillage Is
manure, or rather helps the crop an
manure does. Tillage, like the fallow,
adds nothing to the soil. 1t Is simply
a means of unlocking the fertility
found by chemists in the rocky parti-
cles of the soil. Now, as neither tillage
nor follows add anything to the soil,
but simply make more or the dormant
phosphoric acid and potash available,
we can say In fact that they are but
means of depleting the soli more rap-
idly.
This Is a view of the matter which
the culture cranks, if they may be
called such, lose sight of. Mr. Bon-
ham', statement Is beyond any ques-
tion true; and high tillage without
manure, while It may largely increase
the crops for a time, undoubtedly tends
to deplete the soil. Soils naturally rirh
In the mineral elements will stand thts
for a long time; but It is not good
farming. High tillage should act as a
supplement to manure and leguminous
crops, not as a substitute for thein.

Steer Feeding Experiment.
In the steer feeding trials at the
Massachusetts Station the chief coarse
todders fed were corn stover, earn fod-
der, corn ensilage, and hay and 1 ots.
In the case of both yearlings an two-
year -olds the greatest daily gain was
made when the coarse fodder consisted
of corn ensilage, and the c'Pea.pest gain
in every case was where corn to tome
form -stover, fodder or ensilage -
formed the bulk of the rough feed.
This seems to be no longer a matter
which is open to question. Within
the corn belt proper, and even to Tts
northern borders at least, that plant
Is undoubtedly the cheapest and best
foundation for any cattle ration.
