Bow John B. Gough Gaye Up
Smoking.
When in Worehester, England, 26
years ago, I was the guest of
a gentleman, a member of Parlia-
ment, who resided just opposito the
city, on the banks of the river, a de-
lightful place, with a beautiful lawn,
roekwood and trees articifirally plant-
ed.
I was at that time a smoker, and
though I never smoked in a gentle-
man's house without an invitation, I
deemed it necessary to have my smoke
after dinner, if by any means I could
get it without annoyance to others.
So after dinner I strolled to the
riverside, out of sight of the house,
and took out my cigars and matches,
and proceeded to light a cigar. The
wind blew out the mateh ; another
was tried, and another. I took off
my hat to shield it from the wind. It
was of no avail. I got some brim-
stone down my throat, or something
as bad, but the cigar would not ignite.
ren I kneeled down beside a rock
by the path at the side of the river,
and with my bat off endeavored to
secure the object.
Now, I never goon my knees, but
I remembered of my prayers, and
the thought came :
"If any one should see you he
would probably think that some man
had sought that retired spot for his
private devotions, and what am I
doing ? I am sucking away at my
cigar, hoping to obtain fire en
ougli from the match to ges a smoke
What would the audience say who
heard me last night, should they see
ME now.
The inconsistency of my practice
with my profession, struck me so
forcibly, that I said, "I'll have eo
more of it,"
I rose from my knees, took cigars
and matches and threw them into the
river,—Onward.

While some of the Canadians poli-
ticians affeet to think very slighting-
ly of the grand work being done at
the Ontario Agricultural College,and
grumble and complain it its cost, it
is viewed in a different light by
practical agriculturalists of other
countries. We notice that at the
annual meeting of the Scottish Chain
tiers of Agriculture ire Edinburgh,
reeently, held .a resolutiottswas there
unanimously passed affirming "'that
the subject of agricultural ,education
is one of the first importance to agri-
ealture,"end strongly recommending
the establishment of sehools of agri-
culture, "where theory and" practice
could be taught and experiments
conducted." the resolution in, ques-
tion was moved by :.Ir.:J_ mes I3ig--
gar, of Dalbeattie, and ,seconcled , by
Rev. Dr. Gillespie, of Monswold, bosh
prominent agriculturalists, and in
speaking of the resolution, both re-
ferred in the most eulogistic manner
to the Ontario Ageiealtaral - College,
the seconder referring to it as" the
heap ideal of an agricultural college.

More Sunlight For Pigs.
Judging from the dark places in
which ..pigs are kept during the
winter, a person would naturally
come to the conclusion that they
were a class of animals that differed
materially in this respect from the
rest of the farm stock. They, how-
ever, do not differ from other stock
in their need of sunshine. A young
pig is like a flower, it must have
plenty of sunlight to enable it to
devetop and grow to perfection, and
we believe that many a litter has
been seriously injured " through lack
of sunshine. This point was very
forcibly brought out by one of our
torr spondents lately. We think a
grea mistake has been made in this
respect in the building of many
piggeries. Too often only meagre
provision has been grade for lighting.
the piggery, and none whatever for
giving the pigs a sunbath during
the winter months. The piggery
should be situated in a way that the
sun can shine into the pens a good
part of the day. It might be neces-
sary to put in a few more windows
to do this, but it will pay to do so.
During. the summer the glass can be
removed and the opening covered
with a piece of sacking as a screen
to keep out the sun and flies.
Many piggeries might be changed
at small expense to adrnitof a.plentiful
supply of sunlight. A brood sow
should always have a bright place'in
which to produce her litter, and the
young pigs should have the brightest
pen during the winter. A little at--
'
teutlori to this question of light will
save money and prevent disappoint-
ment. Give the pigs and all the
farm stock more sunlight in'their
stables. ----Farming.
