Drain around the wells. Allow all sur- face water to flow away. It is a very easy matter to contaminate the drinking water, especially in spring, when the ground, is sat- urated. The ground for carrots and parsnips should be free from small stones. The best soil is a light sandy loam. The roots would grow forked and irregular if they should meet with obstructions in the soil. Professor Fjord, of the Danish agricultur- al society finds one pound of the sweet skim equal to two pounds of the buttermilk. Be also finds that six pounds of sweet skim milk are equal to one pound of rye or bar- ley. The improved mutton breedit of sheep cannot be kept in the manner usual with common sheep. They demand good pasture, liberal, feeding and attention, but they pay well for the care bestowed. There is a great demand for superior mutton. Cows that are soiled with cut grass and those which are fed in well -fenced pastures from which all noxious and ill -flavored weeds have been extirpated, are more likely to yield a uniformly good and sweet quality of milk than those which are suffered to roam the woods and COM1110119. The president of a state agricultural sooi- ety thinks that artificial watering, as ordin- arily done, is of very little benefit, and esti- mates that to water properly an acre of cab- bages or strawberries in a dry time it would require atleast 30,000 gallons of water. Many farmers claim that if a large potato with all eyes out out but one be planted, a larger per cent. of early marketable potatoes will be produced than if the seed were cut or small potatoes planted whole. A study of this subject was made at the Wisconein Agricultural Experiment Station last season with four varieties the result in each case being in favor of the large prepared seed. Berne began to die when she gave over her agriculture to slaves or to foreign con - Tiered tribes, , and her manufactures to ignorant men, or even to slaves, and:sent her best blood into the army or into com- merce, politics and the clerical employments.

"The great majority of people cannot tell the difference between paste and real diamonds at a ball -room," said a lleer York jeweller, "and there are more people who wear paste than any one would think. Once I was the assistant of a fashionable jeweller in Washington. It was then a common thing to loan out an outfit of paste to ladies who had not security to give for real dia- monds." "What did yon charge for those paste outfit e 7" the reporter asked. "Generally about $25. Once a pretty girl from one of the Western States hired one of these paste sets from us for 0,ball and captured the heart of a •wealthy French Connt—not one of the shady kind, but a real count, rich as a Creeaus, who was on a visit to this country, and after a short courtship they were engaged to be married. "Be obtained for her an invitation to the next official reception, for Which we lent her real diamonds and sent our detective to watch them. - "When she came back with them she said I wish you had given me real dia- monds like you did the first time. These last were paste, and any one could see by their dulness that they were not diamonds at all." "I didn't say anything, but shortly after when she obtained the loan of an outfit we gave her the paste set and she came back highly pleased with the change.

One of the most interesting features of the volunteer bierliste corps review, which was held in England during Easter week, was the sham battle between two death- ments. The advanced cyclints of the defend- ing party were on their way from Saliabury to Stockbridge when they discovered the " enemy" on the top ole hill a mile distant. The advancing party waiteduntil re inform- ment came up, and then march to the firing line, where they dismounted and left their machines behind them. At a range of about 600 yards from the invaders they opened fire, and kept it up for a quarter of an hour. The advance guard of the enemy suddenly rallied on their cycles, mounted and rushed to the bottom of the bill, breaking into the ranks of the defenders, who gradually fell back, giving the invaders an occasional volley. When the defenders had retreated about a mile they made a stand on high ground, and fired upon the foe, checking the advance. About three miles east of Stockbridge a third skirmish took place. The umpire, Col. Cooper King, decided the battle in fa- vour of the invaders. Experience.

I see that Secretary Bs.yarrit the stetesman who, in the United States, za the chief political effisio.1 of Mr. Cleveland's Gov - eminent, says, in a letter that has been re- cently published, " Cenciliation and inutual neighborly concession have together done theirhonox'abbeandhoneatorkinthtatreaty, and have paved the way for relations of amity and ,mutual advantage." I believe that that opinion would express the view of the vast majority of the people of Canada.

(Hear, hear.) And if that be done, when we have removed the local and temporary, although longstanding causes of difference between us then I :think that we may trust to the good feeling and common intermits, and more than all the common blood and common origin and common tradi- tions of the Anglo-Saxon race, to pre- serve unbroken the amity and peace which are essential to the progress and civilization of the world. (Cheers.) In the case of the United States of America I hope for amity and peace and I ask for nothing more. Our course has been markei out for us as separate and independent, but I hope as friendly nations. But is it necessary, is it desirable, that our relations with Canada, with our great colonies in Australasia and South Afri- ca, should follow the same course, ehoula re, snit in a similar absolute independence'? I am willing to submi to the charge of being a sentimentalist when I say to you that I will never willingly admit of any policy that will tend to weaken the ties between the different branches of the Anglo-Saxon race which form the British .Empire, the vast dominion of the Queen. (Cheers.) I feel myself e natural pride in the restless energy and dauotless courage which have created this great Empire. I feel a eatisfaction in the constant evidence which is given us of the affectionate attachment of our fellow - subjects throughout the world to their old home. (Hear, hear). It seeme to me that it would be unpatriotic to do anything which would discourage this sentiment -- that it would be cowardly and unworthy to repudiate the obligations and responsibili- ties which tlae situation entails upon us. (Hear, hear). I would be willing to put it on the lowest poesilale grounds.

Chased by a Walrus. One of the most novel encounters between man and a wild beast ever reported is the following incident toldby Captain Koldewey in Tho German Arctic Expedition." It occurred. on the east coast of Greenland. As, with difficulty, we were following the road, we were suddenly startled by a walrus breaking through the ice close to us. We fied as quickly as we could, for an attempt to detend ourselves would heve been mad- ness. But the walrus swam as quickly under the ice after us, breaking through it near ns, evidently intending toswim in our company. We dispersed as much as possible,springing over the ice -crust, through whichthe alpen- stock conetamtly broke, followed by the rustling and flapping caused by the monster.
